Brazil's first shot in the entire game appeared in the thirteenth minute.

At that time, Neymar was tripped by Zhang Linpeng while dribbled on the side. The referee called Zhang Linpeng a foul and gave Brazil a free kick from the side.

Neymar's free kick was hit by Thiago Silva four meters in front of the goal.

But Thiago Silva was so high.

After the football flew high above the beam, Sun Pan in front of the door whistled.

After Thiago Silva landed, she glared at Sun Pan, but Sun Pan ignored it.

Since the Brazilians are anxious and angry, let’s add some fuel to them. This is Sun Pan’s idea.

"The Brazilian team finally had its first shot, but this time the shot was outrageous!" He Ping seized the opportunity to mock Brazil. Although the Brazilian team has a large number of fans in China, He Ping was not worried that he would offend those Brazilian fans because of this. At this time, all Chinese people are of course fans of the National Olympic Team. They all hope that the Chinese team will win the final.

Thiago Silva's header was not within the goal frame, but Brazil did not give up and they continued to attack the Chinese team.

Of course, their offensive method has not changed much. As long as they hit the 30-meter area, they will rely more on their own personal abilities rather than patiently passing the ball and turning their feet.

It is in sharp contrast to the Chinese team's counterattack by passing the ball.

Because the Brazilian team's offensive was very strong during this period, most of the time the Chinese team was compressed in their own half. Even if they had the opportunity to counterattack, they often could not invest too much force, and they had to reach the forefront of the opponent's penalty area by passing through a few feet. Of course, the success rate of this kick was not high.

However, the Chinese team is already one goal ahead, so they don’t have to worry.

I remember being Brazilian.

Faced with Brazil's fierce attack, the Chinese team launched a defensive counterattack, which was also their main tactic in this Olympics. They broke through the group stage and came to the knockout round with defensive counterattack.

However, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack is not the kind of defensive counterattack that huddled in front of their own goal and allowed the opponent to control the ball at will outside.

The Chinese team's defensive counterattack is relatively more active. Their players will rely on their number advantage to siege Brazilian players in their half, splitting them and making it impossible for them to connect with each other.

This trick is very suitable for dealing with the Brazilian team.

Faced with the Chinese team's segmentation and siege strategy, Brazilian players rely on their outstanding personal abilities, and they all act like Galin Cha possessed them, dribbling wildly and rely on their personal abilities to create opportunities.

In the 18th minute, Damion dribbled the ball to the frontcourt of the Chinese team. Facing the defense between Yang Muge and Zhang Jiadong, he did not use the ball in time, but chose to continue dribbling. After being forced by Zhang Jiadong and Yang Muge, he also tried to use his personal skills to get rid of the defense, but Yang Muge poked the ball and lost it...

The football that was poked by Yang Muge fell to Zhou Yi's feet. Zhou Yi turned around and sent the ball to the front. This time Thiago Silva pushed the football out of the sideline before He Ying received the ball.

Since He Ying scored, Thiago Silva has been keeping a tighter mark on him.

When the Chinese team threw the ball outside the border, not everyone came up to participate. In the end, He Ying gave the football to Zhou Yi.

Under the defense of Brazilian midfielder Romero, Zhou Yi did not choose to control the ball. He directly returned the football thrown by He Ying with his feet, and He Ying passed the football back to Zhang Jiadong.

At this time, Zhou Yi had turned around and cut off the run, leaving Romero away.

Zhang Jiadong passed the football back to him, and He Ying had already completed the running position. Zhou Yi passed the football to He Ying and asked He Ying to end the attack. No matter what the result was, it didn't matter.

In the end, He Ying missed the football under Thiago Silva's close press.

Although it was not within the goal frame, it was still considered a shot. In terms of shots, the Chinese team also led Brazil 2:1.

In this attack, the Chinese team invested a total of three people, forming the final shot. It can be seen that the Chinese team's counterattack efficiency is actually higher than that of Brazil.

Most people may only see that China's shots did not form a goal, nor did they hit the goal frame, but in fact what is behind this can explain the problem more.

Two minutes later, Brazil tied with the Chinese team in terms of shots.

In the 20th minute, Damion broke through the Chinese team's defense on the wing this time and formed a cross.

Chelsea midfielder Oscar followed in the middle and pushed the shot with his left foot eight meters away from the goal.

However, this shot was quite straight, and Sun Pan, who was waiting in front of the goal, held the football in his arms without any effort.

He kept silly mocking the Brazilian players in his words: "Is he so soft and weak, just such a little ability?"

Although Oscar is also a Chelsea player, Sun Pan has no intention of taking care of his teammates at all.

The only pity is that others can't understand what he says. If he can be proficient in multiple languages, he can carry out his trash-talking offensive on the court...

Brazil had just tied the number of shots, and the Chinese team quickly made two consecutive attacks, and Zhou Yi and Wu Lei's long-range shots were higher one after another. In terms of shots, the Chinese team led again and opened the gap, 4:2.

Comparing the number of shots seems like a boring thing, but in fact, through this simple comparison of numbers, you can guess how the performance of the two teams are.

In terms of shooting, the Chinese team has more shots than the Brazilian team, so it is absolutely impossible to say that the Chinese team was suppressed by the Brazilian team. Although it was a defensive counterattack, the Chinese team was not embarrassed on the scene.

From the perspective of watching the game, the Brazilian team is indeed the dominant in the scene. They have also scored more times in the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team. Judging from the more than 20 minutes of the game, the Brazilian team has indeed scored more times in the 30-meter adventures of the Chinese team than in China. There is a statistics that although it will not appear on TV, there are indeed some.

As of the 20th minute of the game, the Chinese team scored four times in Brazil's 30-meter area, while the Brazilian team scored eight times, which was exactly twice that of the Chinese team. However, the Chinese team scored four times, the Brazilian team scored two times, and the Chinese team scored twice that of the Brazilian team.

What does this set of data mean?

This shows that although the Brazilian team has entered the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team, their advantage in this 30-meter area is not great. Their average ball control time in this 30-meter area is only 24 seconds.

What does this mean?

For example, in the just-concluded European Cup in 2012, Spain won the championship. The Spanish team averaged 30-meter opponents in each game, and the average ball control time in this area was one minute and twenty-eight seconds. The Spanish team's continuous ball control time in the front court is four times that of Brazil! Long-term continuous ball control fully guarantees Spain's advantage in attack, and they can create more shooting opportunities. Brazil's short continuous ball control time in this regard is also confirmed by their fewer shots than China, indicating that their offensive efficiency in the front court and their poor results.

It was more than 20 minutes since the game was over. Although the Brazilian team's offensive was very strong, it did not pose a substantial threat to the Chinese team's goal. Brazil's head coach Menesez made adjustments in advance.

In the 26th minute, he replaced midfielder Alex Sandro with Hulk.

"Brazil team used a substitution quota early, and this was a forced substitution! The premature concealment of the ball disrupted the Brazilian team's pre-match arrangement..." He Ping said. "After conceding the ball, everyone thought that the Brazilian team would quickly enter the rhythm of the game, but now it seems that they have not found the feeling of the game yet... Meneses hopes that Hulk can change this situation when he comes on the court. Hulk is indeed a player with outstanding abilities. The key is that his physical fitness is very good. Players of the National Olympic Team must be careful to use his physical advantages..."

After Hulk came on the court, it did change the Brazilian team's offensive effect to a certain extent.

In the 38th minute, the Brazilian team organized an offense in the frontcourt. Oscar handed the football to Hulk. After Hulk got the ball, he suddenly exerted force and shot a long shot 35 meters away from the goal!

The football flew towards the Chinese team's goal like a cannonball.

This kick not only shot suddenly, but also had a high quality.

Football came to the Chinese team's goal!

"Be careful!!" commentator He Ping exclaimed.

The Chinese fans in the stands also made a terrified breath.

Hulk's shot was the third shot of Brazil in this game, but it also gave them the greatest sense of crisis. Although it was far away from the goal, the momentum could be felt clearly in the stands!

No one can stop football flying in the air, except goalkeeper Sun Pan.

When Hulk shot the ball towards the goal, Sun Pan quickly moved his foot, then soared into the air and rushed towards the direction where the ball came!

However, everyone's attention was attracted by the football flying in the air at that time, and they didn't see Sun Pan at all.

It was not until the football was about to fly to the goal that everyone realized that Zhou Yi's hand was almost touching the football!

Hulk's shot was dragged by Sun Pan's palm, bounced upwards, and hit the lower edge of the crossbar!

Then he fell down, but fortunately he did not fall inside the goal line, but he did not escape from the dangerous area. After the football landed, it bounced up and was still in the Chinese team's penalty area, or even in the small penalty area!

This situation caused the Chinese team's penalty area to fall into chaos. In the chaos, Damion came out of the crowd, ran towards the football, and shot the ball!

Sun Pan, who had just landed, struggled and jumped up from the ground again, reaching out to block it.

The football hit his palm and was blocked from the bottom line... The alarm was lifted!

"Beautiful! Sun Pan! Awesome consecutive saves! He saved the Chinese team's goal!" He Ping shouted excitedly, almost jumping from the chair in the commentator's seat...
Chapter completed!
