Chapter 568: Losing the Initiative

Puyol's yellow card seemed to be the trigger, and both sides began to act rough.

First, Rico retaliated and kicked his opponent down after being intercepted by Capdevila and got a yellow card, and then Gilberto Silva shoveled Iniesta from behind and was warned by a yellow card.

Soon, when Ricardo broke through with the ball, Ramos made a fierce tackle and got another yellow card.

However, this time Ricardo did not end up receiving treatment. Ramos's actions seemed fierce, but in fact he still kept a little bit of sense. There was still a bit of teammate affection, and he didn't do too much. When he kicked, he didn't directly face Li Cardo. Much of the ankle goes.

Baptista also showed the demeanor of a "beast". During a frontal scrimmage, he jumped up and kicked Xavi Alonso in the chest and received a yellow card. It was also Weber who was merciful, otherwise this would be an action that could give a red card.

A large number of fouls made it impossible for both sides to organize offenses smoothly. Brazil used fouls to interrupt Spain's possession rhythm, and Spain used fouls to hinder Brazil's counterattack.

"The two sides played a good game for 20 minutes, and then it was a normal final," the commentator said with a smile, "Both sides are thinking, I can play uncomfortable, but you don't want to play comfortably either."

"But in general, the Brazilian team suffered a bit. Spain's possession of the ball is still very smooth. They squeezed the Brazilian team's space through possession. It has been a long time since Brazil played so embarrassingly. It should be since the 98 World Cup After the final, Brazil has never been so embarrassed."

"So the scene of the World Cup final in 1998 is going to be repeated? It was supposed to be a game where Ronaldo became king, but the Brazilian team was completely suppressed and Zidane was achieved. In the end, Ronaldo's title was postponed for 4 years. In 2002 he won the top spot."

"And this year, many people are optimistic about the year when Ricardo becomes king. If the Brazilian team wins the championship, but if the Brazilian team fails here, Ricardo's title will be postponed for at least 4 years. gone."

"At present, it seems that Brazil's high-position press is actually not effective, but it leaves their defense a little empty. Dunga might as well let Brazil retreat across the board and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

"On the Spanish side, Ramos and Busquets were locked up by Ricardo and Kaka, which made their possession of the ball a little bit less, and there were fewer changes. In previous games, Ramos' assists were A great weapon for Spain. But today, that weapon is limited."

The commentator talked a lot, on the one hand, to let those fans who don't know much about football understand the situation on the field and the star players of both sides, and on the other hand, to pass this boring time.

Is he still explaining as usual? Then it becomes "Iniesta takes the ball, passes to Xavi, Xavi passes to Xavi. Alonso, Xavi Alonso passes to Iniesta, Iniesta passes to Xavi, Xavi splits the side, Pedro has no chance, pass back to Xavi, Xavi passes to Xavi. Alonso, take a moment, give the ball to Iniesta, Iniesta passes The ball, Villa, no chance, come back and give it to Xavi..." Until they finally make a shot or the Brazilian team finally steals, or fouls.

Yes, commenting on Spanish games is just that boring.

"Up to now in the first half, Spain still has a great advantage in possession of the ball. Their possession time has reached 62%, while Brazil has only a poor 38%. This is the lowest possession rate of the Brazil team in this World Cup. One game. Up to now, the two sides have 3 shots each, which have caused a certain threat. Spain is very likely to break through Brazil's defense line in the next pass, and Brazil may also rely on the next counterattack to score. Players on both sides dare not be careless."

"Spain continued to have the ball,

Baptista succeeded in stealing, Bigfoot looked for Ricardo, and Ramos headed the ball down. Pique takes the ball, Pique... long pass! Shots like this are rarely seen in this game. "

"Hey, Lucio missed the top! Chance for Spain! Villa got the ball! He broke into the penalty area and can shoot! He passed the ball to the post, Pedro! Goallllllllll! 37th Minutes, Spain took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field! This was a mistake by the Brazilian team. Lucio's top gave Spain a golden opportunity. Spain naturally accepted this opportunity with a smile. After Villa attracted two defensive players, the The ball was passed to the back point, and Pedro, who was unmarked, pushed and scored! This is his first goal in this competition, and he is very excited!"

"In the final, whoever scores the first goal will take the lead! In the history of the World Cup, there are very few times when the first goal was reversed! In such a big game, everyone played very steadily and focused on defense. The Brazilian team is now Encountered difficulties, Ricardo and Ronaldo did not get enough support, they must find a way to change the situation on the field!"

"Spain can have the ball as much as they want, with the ball they are good at, they can kill the rest of the game. This is no joke, if it is not only 90 minutes of the game, I doubt they can have the ball for 5 hours in a row .”

Licado's complexion was not very good. Because of tiredness, because of the pain in the calf, because Spain is ahead. In football, the worst thing you can do is Spain and Chelsea lead.

Spain's possession after the lead can make people crazy, and Chelsea's defense after the lead can make people sigh in despair.

Brazil, however, must reverse course.

In this World Cup, Ricardo does not accept failure as the result.

After the re-kick-off, he spared no effort to launch a more crazy press, but the effect was not very good.

Because most of the players are physically exhausted and unable to maintain a complete pressing formation, there will always be omissions and miss the opponent's point of entry.

And Spain seems to be able to control the ball forever as long as they have a point of entry.

If in this game, the Brazilian team did not press the frontcourt after the opening but retreated across the board, the score might not be the same as it is now.

But at this time, it is useless to regret, and it is useless to blame others.

We can only move forward. Even if you are sailing against the current, you must work hard to move forward.

Ricardo became ruthless. Even if you Spain are wearing a tortoise shell, I will smash the tortoise shell!

In the 37th minute, Brazil won a corner kick. Gilberto Silva crosses the ball to the outside, Baptista puts it in and the football comes to Ricciardo. Ricardo volleyed sideways, and the football bounced off the defender.

Spain counterattacked, and after a quick pass, Pedro kicked a shot from the edge of the box and the ball was just wide.

Then Spain got into the rhythm of possession again.

The players of the Brazilian team ran in vain, being led by the nose by their opponents.

Be sure to score a goal right away!

As long as one goal is scored, the situation behind is completely different! Brazil can regain the initiative in its own hands!
