The Brazilian team completed the task of the group stage and the 14th finals, ready to leave Puerto de la Cruz and fly to the next match, Mara Kaibo.
The internationals have been fighting south and north all year round and are used to welcoming and sending them off, but this time the parting made them a little sad.
During their 18-day stay in this port city, they forged a deep friendship with their temporary neighbors.
This is a special group of neighbors, they are residents of the Los Jardines slum, and the Simon Bolivar comprehensive sports training ground where the Brazilian team conducts daily training is separated by an unpaved road.
Watching the training of the Brazilian team through a wall woven of barbed wire has become a part of the daily lives of these residents.
The most touching thing is the children of the "neighbors". They are innocent and innocent. If anyone kicks the ball out of the fence, they will rush to help pick it back.
The Brazilian national team doctor Luis Renco also has a good impression of these children. Once at the end of the training, a strong wind and heavy rain suddenly hit the training ground. The temporary tent set up by the medical team was lifted to the top by the wind. The objects were blown down by the wind randomly around the venue, and there was not enough manpower. As soon as Lenco greeted him, the children came to help. From then on, Lenco volunteered to be a correspondent, asking for the children from stars such as Kaka and Robinho. signature.
The 12-year-old Carlos Alberto is the leader of this group of children. Not only does he have the same name as the Brazilian captain in 1970, he also plays well.
Alberto also has a good relationship with Brazilian players. Kaka not only gave him a ticket to the 14th final, but also gave the children a batch of sneakers, jerseys and footballs.
If such a good material is not written into a touching essay, a reporter is not worthy of being a reporter.
Both The Times and Sao Paulo reported on: "I cried in the audience before we were separated. I don't believe that Brazil can beat Chile 8-0. I am so touched!" His child did not have the money to buy a ticket that was 29 times higher by the scalpers. Little Alberto retelled the game like a story in front of his house at night, and the other children listened quietly around the campfire.
"My ideal is to become an excellent football player when I grow up. During the time I spent with the Brazilian team, my determination became stronger. One day I will play like Kaka!" Little Al Beto rides on a low wall with a bottle of homemade grape juice in his hand. This reminds people of Tevez when he was a child. At that time, his dream was to be a star when he grew up, with enough Money to buy Coca-Cola, and then stand on the side of the road and drink.
Whether it is an Argentine, Venezuelan or Brazilian, the kids who dream of football are the same simple.
Although there are no Adriano and Ronaldinho, there is Kaka. The samba army formed by Dunga is still an out-and-out lucky boy. During their 18-day stay in Puerto de la Cruz, The city’s commercial profits have increased by 70%.
Although the economic growth brought about by the America's Cup is universal, the Brazilian team is undoubtedly the most profitable.
The governor of Anzoátegui State Talek William Saber introduced that although La Cruz is a famous tourist city, its popularity has not been booming, and the tourism industry even suffered losses. "The Brazilian team helped us to complete a project during our stay. The quarterly business profit growth target. In addition to the direct consumption of the Brazilian team, the fans attracted by the Brazilian team are the main force driving consumption, and the hotel industry, catering industry and tourism are the sectors that benefit the most. In addition, commercial development, television broadcasting The profit waiting in the budget is also considerable."
Venezuela is a country without a football tradition, and most of its citizens support the Brazilian team, which means that Samba football has the highest recognition in the host country.
This can be intuitively reflected in the price speculation of tickets in the black market. For any match with the Brazilian team, the ticket price is generally speculated to be about 25 times the original price, while the second-ranked Argentina is only 15 times.
From this we can know why the major football associations are crazy when they hear that Kaka does not want to participate in the Copa America.
The Brazilian team with Kaka and the Argentina team without Kaka received two treatments. In the place where the Brazilian team settled, not only the mayor, but also the governor personally greeted them, leading the police force to patrol around the stadium, like one The security captain is equally responsible.
In stark contrast to the fans of Puerto de la Cruz are of course the fans of Maracaibo.
Maracaibo is the second largest city in Venezuela, the capital of Zulia State, and a world-famous oil export port. Today, it has become the city of football, or the city of Kaka.
The entire Maracaibo is welcoming Kaka's arrival.
In a strange city, seeing strangers cheering, crying, or even crazy because of their arrival is not a novel experience for Kaka, but this kind of experience will not become because of the number of times. Numbness, on the contrary, moved him even more.
Even if you know where there is a card, you can only be a green leaf, but the teammates still can't help all kinds of lemons.
In contrast, almost no one cared about the arrival of Uruguay, only the media of their own country and a few sports reporters came to greet them unwillingly.
There will be a large number of readers who write a Kaka yawn in Brazil, but what about Uruguay? Unless Fran gave birth to the child where she was, who would watch their news.
Although there is a big gap between people, Brazil's advantage is not obvious in terms of strength comparison. After all, they have not won five consecutive times when facing this neighboring country.
Before the game, Brazil's national team coach Dunga expressed his concerns about the game.
"Although the Brazilian team will always be the favored side, Uruguay is in excellent form. They know how to deal with us, and we can never take it lightly."
Kaka also paid the greatest attention to this opponent: "Paraguay is a very strong team. They have many excellent players. For example, Fran and Recoba are strikers I admire very much. Worried about whether we can score goals, I am even more worried about whether we can successfully contain their attack."
The biggest change in the knockout stage of this America's Cup is that if the two sides drew within 90 minutes, they will go directly to the penalty shootout without having to play overtime. For this reason, both sides deliberately practiced penalty kicks during pre-match training.
On July 11, the game finally began.
"This is the 27th encounter between the two teams in the history of the America's Cup. Brazil has 11 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses in the first 26 games. In the 2004 America's Cup semi-finals, Brazil relied on penalty kicks 6-4. Defeated Uruguay to advance to the final and finally won the championship.
After Brazil defeated Uruguay 3-0 in the Paraguay America's Cup in 1999, in the 95 Uruguayan America's Cup final, the host Uruguay drew 1-1 with Brazil, and finally won the 14th time with a 5-3 penalty against Brazil. America's Cup.
The players have entered the player channel, let's take a look at the starting points of both sides.
Uruguay still sent Fran and Recoba's striker combination. Behind them are Garcia, Perez, C. Rodriguez and Fusilai. The defenders are Lugano, Scotty and D. Rodri. Gus, goalkeeper Carini. "
"The Brazilian team also has a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper: Donny;
Defenders: Maicon, Juan, Lucio, Merlot;
Midfielder: Gilberto Silva, Baptista, Kaka, Diego;
Forwards: Robinho, Love.
A more accurate description of Brazil’s formation should be 4-2-2-2. With the success of Chelsea this season, this non-mainstream lineup with double midfielders and double front midfielders has already embarked on the desk of many coaches. It proves that not every team can rely on this lineup to play the world, of course, except for Brazil, because they have Kaka. "
Kaka played against Recoba when he was in AC Milan, but the Chinese boy didn't have many chances to start at Inter Milan, so it was not very familiar, but when they met in a foreign country, the two still talked.
Recoba said: "You don't know how happy we were when you said you would not participate in the America's Cup at the beginning, but unexpectedly, you came in the end."
Kaka smiled, "I don't want to, this year is really tired."
"Yes, you have played too many games," Recoba exclaimed, "but for the Seventh Crown, it's worth it to be tired."
"It was hard work and luck that gave us a reward," Kaka patted his shoulder and ended the conversation. "Come on, I have a hunch that this game will be difficult."
Recoba also smiled heartily, "Of course, after all, we are facing the Brazilian team, and you are facing Uruguay."
The support rate of Brazilian fans is completely one-sided, and the game scene is almost like their home court.
Most of the people were chanting Kaka's name. Kaka was not allowed to wave to the surroundings before joining in the national anthem. After a wave of applause and cheers from the fans, the fans slowly returned to normal.
"The game started. Kaka won the coin guessing and got the kick-off right."
Kaka tried a wave of sneak attacks after the opening.
After receiving Robinho's pass, he immediately divided the sides, Maicon stood very forward, and immediately rushed to get the football.
Kaka moved forward, throwing off the midfielder's close defense, and then received a pass from Maicon 50 meters away from the goal.
Zhang bow and arrow, long shot.
Everyone was caught off guard by this long shot.
The opposing defensive player did not make any interference, and the forward did not expect to make a supplementary shot. As a result, a goal was wasted.
The football flew to the right side of the goal and was blocked by Uruguayan goalkeeper Carini with one hand. It was in front of the small penalty area.
Robinho only then knew that he rushed to the football, but he was still a step late.
Lugano makes a bigfoot clearance.
Although he didn't make it, Kaka's piercing arrow still played the role of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. Uruguay was obviously playing very cautiously and even conservatively.
This gives Maicon more room to play.
He only missed one game, and Alves seized the opportunity to have a wonderful performance. Although he did not threaten Maicon's position, it still gave Maicon a sense of tension.
Five minutes later, Maicon pressed forward again and Kaka passed the ball to his feet again, and then went straight into the penalty area.
Maicon got rid of Lugano's defense and made a cross.
Kaka grabbed the first point, but the pushed football hit Love's foot, reflecting the bottom line.
"It was Kaka and Maicon's cooperation after shooting. It is a pity that the football was blocked by their own people. Uruguay must have done a lot of work on how to defend Kaka, but from the first six minutes, their work has not been effective. ."
"Kaka's style has changed a lot in this America's Cup. It is rare to see the long-range dribbling and long-distance attacks that we are familiar with. Long shots and scoring points are his most commonly used attacks in these games. Means, the quality of the Brazilian team’s offense has not decreased because of this..."
Uruguay did not sit still, and quickly expressed its attitude with offense.
C. Rodriguez became C. Ronaldo. After showing a wave of footwork from the wing, he kicked the ball to Merlot's foot.
The football bounced off the baseline and Uruguay got a corner kick.
Uruguay attaches great importance to this corner kick, many defensive players rushed into the penalty area.
Recoba took the ball to the center of the penalty area, Lugano jumped high and headed the goal, Duny did not respond at all, but fortunately the top of the football was slightly higher, hitting the crossbar and popping the bottom line.
The game came to the tenth minute and the deadlock was finally broken.
It was the cooperation of Kaka and Maicon, but this time they changed roles.
Kaka passed the ball, Maicon shot.
Kaka gently removed Diego's long pass transfer, and then directly picked the ball to the rib area on the right side of the penalty area.
Maicon's feet were like stepping on a hot wheel, and he hurriedly hit the ball and shot directly at the ball.
The football goes straight to the left of the goal.
Carini tried his best to make a save, but he barely touched the football and failed to prevent the football from entering the net.
1-0.
"GOAL! This is Maicon! This is the number one right-back in world football today! Brazilian fans, forget Cafu, he is past tense, look at this shot, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com Brazil’s right now belongs to him."
Maicon ran directly to Kaka and swooped over.
Kaka quickly caught him.
"Be careful, buddy, your injury is just right, don't be so excited."
"Oh, why can't I get excited when I score by skill?"
"Well, if you don't know how to express your excitement, I suggest you naked B."
"You are disgusting, Kaka."
"It seems to be a little bit, then you can split it."
"..."
Maicon did not have Robin or splits, the game continued, but two minutes later, there were some minor accidents on the court.
One side of the headlights above the stadium suddenly went out, and the game was interrupted.
Everyone was speechless again about the stadium facilities in Venezuela.
The staff made urgent repairs, but ten minutes passed and the fart was useless.
The referee called the captains of both teams.
"Two, you have seen the situation, any suggestions?"
Kaka said: "It doesn't seem to have a big impact. I suggest to wait another two minutes. If you can't fix it, just continue the game."
Lugano nodded, "I have no problem."
The referee was naturally kind, but the light did not turn on after another five minutes.
The fans were ready to rebel, the referee hurriedly decided to resume the game.
