Main text Chapter 524 Bailey's Blessing

"The two sides fought hard for ninety minutes and they reached a three-to-three draw and had to enter a cruel penalty shootout. This is the first game of this America's Cup where a penalty kick is used to determine the outcome.

"Dida is in poor condition. Cesar missed the Copa America due to injury. Doni was able to become Brazil’s starting goalkeeper. Judging from this game, Doni’s ability and performance are still very good, but the real test is now Just begun……"

The Brazilian team was the first to attack, Kaka was the first to stand before the penalty spot.

Brazilian fans were temporarily quiet, while Uruguayan fans made a huge noise.

Carini slightly bent over and stared at Kaka's eyes, trying to create mental pressure on him. As a result, it seemed to look at him, but he looked nervous.

Kaka tidyed up his shoelaces, checked the turf near the penalty spot, and then returned to the football to stand still and signaled to the referee that he was ready.

Carini also nodded, indicating that he could start.

The whistle sounded.

Kaka had been keeping his head down, but when he was approaching, he suddenly lifted up and looked at the upper right corner of the goal.

Carini hesitated for a moment, made a decisive decision, and rushed to his right, which is Kaka's left.

"Carini made a big push and Kaka pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. The ball is not fast. It is a mental tactic..."

"Brazil has a 4-3 lead temporarily."

"Uruguay's first appearance is Fran."

Fran took a deep breath and volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.

Duny didn't hesitate, he rushed to the right at the moment of his shot, and slapped the ball off with a single palm.

"Pretty!"

"Doni, great!"

Duny was also very excited, making a fist and shaking it hard.

Then Robinho came up and fooled Carini to break the goal easily;

Recoba is Uruguay’s second penalty player, Duny judged the right direction, but failed to touch football...

In the third round, the two teams also did not miss.

Brazil leads temporarily 6-5.

In the 4th round, Maicon continued to hit, but Uruguay c. Rodriguez also tricked Donny into making a successful shot.

"Brazil is 7-6, the fifth round. If Brazil can make a hit, the game will be completely killed; if Carini can save the ball and Uruguay can score, then the suspense will continue."

The fifth penalty for the Brazilian team is Alfonso.

The Brazilian coaches and players on the sidelines unconsciously bent down a little, as if preparing to celebrate.

Uruguayans kept drawing crosses and praying to God.

Kaka beckoned, so that his teammates lined up with their hands on the shoulders of the people next to them.

The whistle sounded, Alfonso made a run-up and volleyed his right foot vigorously.

Some Uruguayans couldn't help closing their eyes, and then were awakened by the cheers of the people next to them.

"Alfonso's shot hit the left post, and the Brazilian team missed the chance to kill the game! Uruguay got a glimmer of life!"

The pressure was all on Uruguay's fifth appearance, Christian.

He was calm on the surface, but he didn't even know to wipe the sweat from his forehead when he was about to drip into his eyes. Obviously, his mood was not as smooth as on the surface.

Duny recalled the contents of the note, patted each other with his palms, and then stretched his arms to both sides in an attempt to interfere with Christian.

"Christian shoots! In the middle! Donny didn't guess right, 7-7, the two sides are on the same starting line again!"

"It's a pity that Duny didn't become a hero, but now the opportunities for both sides are equal, and he still has a chance to prove himself."

The atmosphere on the court was so solemn that it was breathless.

In the 6th round, Baptista, who took the lead in shooting, pushed and shot the left post, and the ball was blocked!

"Baptista also made a mistake! Victory is beckoning to Uruguay! Uruguay’s sixth penalty is Pablo Garcia! If he scores this penalty, then he will help Uruguay to eliminate Brazil and become the whole team. Hero of Uruguay!"

Of course Garcia knew what he was facing. In the close-up, the audience could even see his hands shaking gently.

Under such tremendous pressure, Garcia's shot was also rejected by the goal post.

The cheers of the Brazilians echoed with the sighs of the Uruguayans.

"It's a pity that Duny has made a mistake in his judgment, but in pursuit of perspective, Cassiopeia also kicked the ball to the goal post. Let's see who the Brazilian team is next... Oh, Lucio, I didn't expect Dunga to He is so behind..."

Lucio was about to go to the penalty spot, but was called by Kaka.

He thought that Kaka was going to teach some experience. Who knew that Kaka had just lowered his voice and said, "Pretend to be frightened."

Lucio had a constipated expression: "...Aren't you afraid that I will mess up first?"

"You haven't seen a big scene, are you afraid of this?"

"Thank you for considering me so much, but I'm really scared."

"I'm afraid of Mao, it's a big deal to pack and go home. Anyway, I didn't want to play the Copa America."

"Are you serious?"

"I lied to you?"

"There's none?"

"Is there? Even if it is, it is definitely not this time, don't you believe it? Are you sincere or not sincere in my eyes?"

"..."

"Kaka seems to be imparting experience to Lucio. We all know that he is a player who plays with his head. Maybe he has observed some weakness of Carini... Lucio laughed, maybe we guessed wrong. Kaka is just helping Lucio adjust his mood? Anyway, there is not much time left for them, and the referee signaled the Brazilian team to start quickly..."

Lucio went into battle lightly, while Carini was suspicious.

He was really afraid that Kaka would see through a weakness that he didn't understand.

With loosening and tightening, Lúcio easily pushed the goal to the right and succeeded, while Carini didn't even make a save. He didn't know if he wanted to block the middle or hesitated too much and did not respond.

Brazil leads again.

"Uruguay will play captain Lugano, and the fate of the team will be at his feet."

"Lugano... also a push! Too soft! Duny saved the ball easily! Uruguay is out!"

"Congratulations to the Brazil team, after going through many twists and turns, finally caught the victory!"

"In the America's Cup three years ago, Uruguay lost a penalty kick to Brazil in the semi-final. Three years later, history repeats itself. It is the Uruguayans who are sadly hurt. Brazil will compete with the winner between Mexico and Argentina for the championship."

Doni was hugged in the middle by his teammates. The Brazilian coach and players on the sidelines ran into the court and hugged the players on the court.

Kaka took a breath.

Lucio looked at him strangely, "Didn't you say you care?"

"Oh, I lied to you."

〝▼ dishes▼). "

No matter what, Brazil finally made it to the final again, and the fans still praised it.

But the media are not so tolerant.

"Brazil defeated Uruguay on a penalty kick and advanced to the final. However, compared to the last game in which a hearty victory over Chile, Brazil's performance in this game is really not good, returning from beauty to ugliness. One point can be explained from the data.

In the game, the Uruguay team shot 16 times, Brazil only had 9 times, and the number of fouls was 18 to 21. The Brazil team had more. And the number of passes in the game, Uruguay reached 293 times, while Brazil only had 276 times.

From the data point of view, Brazil looks like Uruguay, and Uruguay is more like Brazil.

Kaka is still the top contributor to Brazil’s promotion. Two assists helped Brazil lead twice, a goal pulled Brazil back from the death line, and the penalty shootout was his first appearance in the penalty shoot-out and easily scored. Stabilized the military spirit.

I have to mention of course goalkeeper Donny. In addition to his brilliant performance in the penalty shootout, he saved at least two goals in the game. One was Recoba’s right-footed volley before the penalty area in the first half. , Once was Fran’s left-foot volley shot, which was held out by Duny with a textbook-like flying save action with a single palm. In contrast, Carini of Uruguay did not make any great saves...

But the better the goalkeeper's performance, the worse the team's overall performance, the more opportunities for the opponent.

How does Uruguay compare to Chile? Except for the more aggressive style and more running, there is hardly any difference. The biggest problem lies with Kaka.

Look at the performance of Kaka in the final stage of the game. That is the Kaka we are familiar with. He dribbles, breaks, and shoots. The Uruguayan can't do anything with him, but such Kaka only appeared for ten minutes. More often, Kaka's role is to contain, divide the ball, dispatch, and even defend.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Uruguayans have played too hard. They almost never let Kaka have the chance to catch the ball easily. Kaka was kicked to the ground many times in the game, and had to return to the midfield to take more. The ball supports, but this greatly reduces the pressure on Uruguay's defense.

Gilberto, Baptista, and even Diego, who is a midfielder, are not world-class ball-handling players. Some of them can score, some can help defend, some can steal, and some can pass. The ball, but it lacks a Pereira era Ronaldinho, Kaka like control, belt master, and Emerson like a balanced player, so this Brazilian team is not "Brazil"...

Next, whether Brazil’s opponents are Argentina or Mexico, Uruguay’s style of play will inspire them more. While holding Kaka’s point, Dunga should also think of some new tricks... "

Compared with the stumble of the Brazil team, Argentina is much smoother here.

In the 44th minute, Riquelme kicked a weird arc at 30 meters. The football fell between the opponent's wall and goalkeeper Sanchez. Heinze rushed into the volley pad of his left foot before Sanchez attacked. Shot into the net, Argentina ended the first half with a 1-0 lead.

After the intermission, the Mexican coach replaced Bravo and Medina to strengthen the offensive, while Argentina used the Mexican team to counterattack frequently.

In the 61st minute, Heinze divided the ball from the left to Tevez in the center. Tevez looked back and gave the ball to Messi in the corner of the penalty area.

After Messi got the ball and looked up, he immediately launched a scalpel-like precision lob with his left foot. Sanchez had nothing to do with the ball. The ball, with Messi's talent and the pride of Argentina, fell obediently. goal.

Messi’s goal perfectly replicated the 1993/1994 Champions League final. AC Milan’s legendary star Savičević lobbed Barcelona’s stunning shot. This goal is also called the most exciting goal of the current cup so far. One of the balls, if it weren't for Kaka also scored a brilliant rainbow in the game just ended and volleyed, Messi's goal could almost lock the best goal of this cup in advance.

After leading by two goals, Argentina played more relaxed.

In the 64th minute, Argentina quickly opened a free kick. Tevez was blocked by Max on the left side of the penalty area and fell to the ground. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Riquelme "Spoon" easily slammed the goal in the middle, 3-0.

Since the game has entered garbage time, the Argentina team still has a chance.

In the 90th minute, the active Messi dangled the three defenders in a very small range, but unfortunately the push from the 16 meters in front of the goal was slightly out of the far corner.

In the end, Argentina defeated Mexico 3-0 without a bloodbath, and Argentina, who had been away from the America's Cup champion for 14 years, also ushered in the opportunity to avenge the Brazil team.

This time not only is the media of the two countries starting the war again, sports media from other countries have also joined the battle group.

"America's Cup matchup between Bahía and Brazil is staged again, the strongest Argentina vs. Brazil", "America's Cup finale is about to debut, Brazil and Argentina duo matchup", "America's Cup final meets on a narrow road, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Samba, Tango , Who is the most beautiful dance in South America", "The two heroes fight the America's Cup, Pele is optimistic about Argentina"...

"Pele is optimistic about Argentina": early next Monday morning, Argentina will compete for the championship with the century-old rival Brazil in the final. This matchup will be a replica of the last Copa America final: the same Argentina, which is the strongest lineup, is also the unpopular Brazil team.

The last time the two sides drew 2:2 in 90 minutes, Brazil beat Argentina 4:2 in a penalty shootout, and finally won the America's Cup for the seventh time.

Three years later, the two teams stood on the finals again. This time the situation was surprisingly similar to three years ago. Argentina took the strongest team and went straight to the championship, and the marshal Dunga led the team. The Brazilian team is missing the three cores-Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Adriano.

After the match began, the Brazilian team entered the state very slowly, and the semifinals relied on a penalty kick to win the thrilling victory. Argentina was undoubtedly the biggest favorite. Even Pele was not optimistic about his compatriots this time. The newspaper said in an interview: "To be honest, I don't like the performance of the Brazilian team. In contrast, Argentina is more champion-like. Their team is more experienced and there are many stars. The Brazilian team is still very young..."

Since 2004, the two teams have played against each other 4 times. Argentina has not won once, especially when Basilei was beaten by Dunga 3:1 right after he took office. Now is undoubtedly the best time for revenge. After all, there are not many times when Brazil is so embarrassed. .

But as we all know, Pele’s optimistic teams have always struggled to achieve good results...
