Compared with the star-studded Chinese team, the most striking feature of this Soviet men's football team is that it has no star flavor at all!

Even in the Google database, Wu Jie could not find a few players who had left detailed information. Among them, Nabekovas, the most famous, would only play in the Austrian league for a few years. In other words, this team was originally from the Olympic Games. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, few players from the championship teams went to Europe to play football.

But it was such a team whose name was not even recognized by the Soviet people. Their original plan was to punch the United States and Italy, kick Argentina and Brazil, and finally defeated all the powerful players and won the championship.

Wu Jie did not dare to underestimate Soviet football. Not only did their Olympic team achieve results, but the adult national team also defeated the Netherlands and won the championship in the European Cup three months ago. At that time, England, Italy, and the Netherlands all fell to the Soviets. of feet.

Therefore, the red football in this dimension is very powerful in world football. The rabbit is already ranked 5th in the world, and the furry bear is ranked 7th in the world, and they are both on the rise.

If the two big red brothers advance a few steps further, the two younger brothers Hanscat and Beibang can also achieve their goals. At that time, the furry bear and the rabbit will stand up and shout, and I am afraid they will really be qualified to create a new FIFA. come out.

At this time, FIFA was somewhat resistant to this red war, because if this momentum continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Chinese team ranks first in the world, and the performance of the Soviets in the European arena is also very terrifying. In a year or two, there will be If we have a chance to reach the top five in the world, then the intensity of red in world football will really explode!

Of course, even the Soviets felt that their team had little chance of winning this match. The Chinese team’s lineup was so luxurious that even the Soviet audience could name half of the 11 players.

The Chinese team won with 11 players

Frontcourt: Yang Shuhua (Monaco and Inter Milan), Wu Sheng (Bayern).

Midfielder: Ren Zhihui (Ajax), Zhou Haowen (Juventus), Gao Zhongxun (Manchester City), Wang Yuanlin (A Milan)

Backcourt: Jiang Wei (Nancy), Zheng Guohong (Udinese Roma), Mao Xiuquan (Barcelona), Wang Zhenjie (Hunan)

Goalkeeper: Gong Li (Yunnan)

Except for Gong Li and Wang Zhenjie, who are too young and have not yet traveled to Europe, the rest of these 11 people are playing in the five major European leagues. Nearly half of them are playing for Europe's top or wealthy teams, and many of them are participating in the competition. After the last World Cup, even Soviet fans can call them by name.

The lineup of the Soviet team is too bleak in comparison, and there is no need to introduce it in too much, because there are a lot of names like Yuri, Vladimir, Sergey, and Alexei, among which only Yuri and Vladimir has three people each.

The Chinese audience was very surprised by this situation, but Wu Jie didn't feel much because he was already deeply hurt after learning that Putin and Zelensky were both named Vladimir in his previous life.

"The defense of the Soviet team was very solid and the quality of the counterattack was also very high. No. 5 Vladimir passed the ball to No. 6 Yuri, and No. 6 Yuri passed the ball to No. 15 Vladimir. No. 15 Vladimir The ball was passed back to No. 6 Yuri. No. 6 Yuri made a long pass to forward No. 9 Vladimir. This ball was a bit dangerous... Beautiful! Zheng Guohong intercepted the long pass with a beautiful challenge. , Gao Zhongxun grabbed the spot and got the ball back."

At this time, Sun Zhengping was already dizzy with his commentary. He quickly picked up the player list to confirm whether he was dazzled?

Why does he feel that there are only two people playing in the Soviet team? Isn't this really more outrageous than Sharp?

By the time the Chinese audience turned to the TV and radio channels for this game, the two teams had already started for almost ten minutes.

The Soviets' tactics were very clear from the beginning, they were going to defend and counterattack!

The formation of the Soviet team at the beginning is said to be 3-5-2, but when they actually play, it can be seen that one of the forwards is obviously a defensive forward, and the five midfielders are also very deep, so the more you look at it, the more it looks like 9-1

The lineup is outrageous!

Of course Mao Xiong is not a coward, but as long as you look at the dazzling lineup on the opposite side, you will know that if they fight for offense, ball control, and technology, they will definitely die miserably!

The Chinese team has played less and less defensive counterattacks in the past two years. Especially after winning the World Cup, they are really embarrassed to play so utilitarian again. The main reason is that they have the ability to play better and win at the same time!

Today, this group of young people also can’t let go of their arrogance, so after the game started, it was naturally the Chinese team that controlled the ball on the court. However, facing the Soviets’ brutal and rude, even mad-dog-style pressing defense, their offensive organization after the start was not good.

Pretty smooth.

At this time, Zhou Haowen, who was in the midfield after receiving the pass from Gao Zhongxun, wanted to observe the positions of both sides first, but the Soviets did not give him a chance to hold the ball for a long time. As soon as the marking player kicked it down, he dribbled the ball and released it.

fall down.

This was obviously a tree-cutting tactic, but the referee had no intention of playing any cards. A common foul awarded the ball to the Chinese team and that was it.

But this was not aimed at the Chinese team. Just now Gao Zhongxun also knocked down his opponent severely, and he only received a verbal warning.

This kind of penalty scale is very detrimental to the Chinese team's ball control, but it is very friendly to the Soviets' crazy defense.

After the Chinese team resumed their attack, Zhou Haowen was tightly surrounded by the Soviets with pocket formations, and was followed by a midfielder who was as fast as a calf and was closely guarding him.

In terms of physical talent alone, Zhou Haowen is just above average in Europe, but due to his age, he is even less able to compete, which made him struggle a bit after the start.

Gao Zhongxun is not polite at all. His role today is first and foremost a personal guard, but if Zhou Haowen is looked down upon too much, he can also become a guard with a knife at any time.

But I have to say that the physical energy of the Soviet players is really strong. Even if they are all unknowns, they have explosiveness, speed and confrontation. The key is that the fighting will and discipline are very red, which makes people want to hold the ball for a long time.

, it is very difficult for the Chinese team to play a small-scale pass and cut cooperation.

Wu Jie was not surprised. This was the style of Soviet athletes. No matter what sport they played, they practiced with their lives. They didn't talk to you about science at all. They only talked about honor and belief.

In this case, the elimination rate will be very high, and the player will be eliminated if his resistance level is even lower than that of being kicked out.

But the problem is that those who can be kicked out must be very strong physically. Although this will definitely overdraw their sports careers, at least during their peak period, they are all unreasonable calves, and their basic skills are also improving.

It has been polished over time and is excellent.

The Chinese players felt uncomfortable after the start because the athletic ability and confrontation of these unknown players are very good, and their basic skills are also extremely solid. Although the exquisiteness of their footwork, especially their spirituality, is far behind them, they are playing defensive counterattacks.

, there is no need for such delicate technology at all.

It didn't take long for the Chinese team to pass the ball less than ten times before it was violently destroyed by the Soviets.

The one who was knocked down this time was Wang Yuanlin on the wing. The little guy managed to hide in time, but he still took a big bite of grass and was so angry that he hammered the turf several times.

However, the Soviets were a little embarrassed after regaining the ball. Although the Chinese team was annoyed by the crazy defense, they at least dared to play and cooperated in a small area. Several midfield and frontcourt stars still dared to use their strong personal abilities.

sudden.

However, the Soviets did not dare to play with their technical skills and personal abilities against the Chinese team in the finals. Every time they got the ball, they could only pass the ball long after a few passes.

This kind of offense is a bit of a stroke of luck. There is naturally little pressure on the Chinese team's back line. The Soviets' long passes are either pushed out by the main position or intercepted halfway. Even if they can be passed to the Soviet frontcourt players

At the feet, the Chinese team's back line has already been in place, and will not give the opponent a chance to break through to the threatening zone and take a shot.

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, the two sides went back and forth like this. It seemed to be a lively game, but there were not a few truly threatening attacks.

It is obvious that after the start of the game, both sides prioritize not conceding the ball.

Although the Chinese team has a high ball possession rate, it is worried that if it presses too hard and the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, it will be even more difficult to fight later, so it has not dared to press heavily. In this way, ground attacks involving twos and threes will naturally not be able to penetrate.

The Soviets' intensive defense like a mad dog.

The Soviets' scruples were even deeper. When they defeated West Germany in the semifinals, they were not like today with 9 defenses and 1 offense, nor were they like today where they hardly dared to launch a ground attack. In that game, the Soviets' ground attack actually

Not bad, but not too many long passes.

The reason why the Chinese team played so ugly today was mainly because the Soviets focused all their energy on defense. On the offensive end, it all depends on whether the Chinese team will give them a chance. Lao Maozi has made up his mind that regular time and overtime will not count.

You must not concede a goal when you score a goal. The worst possible scenario is a penalty kick. Anyway, it’s not Lin Yaodong who is standing in front of the Chinese team’s goal. They are not afraid of penalty kicks!

The Chinese team really gave a chance. At the 32nd minute of the first half, the Soviet team passed the ball towards the penalty area from the midfield wing.

The Chinese team's back line naturally confiscated such lucky long passes time and again. Zheng Guohong judged the ball's placement and easily got the ball, and took the ball out of the penalty area.

At this time, No. 9 Vladimir of the Soviet team caught up from behind and planned to press. Zheng Guohong turned around without sticking to the ball and prepared to make a clearance.

But an accident happened at this moment. Zheng Guohong's clearance was obviously flawed. The football did not fly high towards the front court, but flew at a low altitude and directly hit the back of Vladimir, who flew over to interfere.

Vladimir didn't know what happened. He only felt as if he had been hit by a sap on his back. The huge impact directly knocked him to the ground, and after the ball on his back rebounded, it actually

Bounced straight into the restricted area!

Soviet forward Alexei was very confused at this moment, because the football that bounced into the penalty area fell right in front of him. At this time, he subconsciously stepped forward to remove the ball, and actually formed a one-on-one with Gong Li.

Gong Li ignored the curse in his mind and immediately attacked to block Alexei's shooting angle.

Alexei was obviously unprepared for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he had just taken the ball and shot without making any adjustments, it would have been an empty goal from most angles, and Gong Li would not have had time to react. As long as he did not miss the shot

You must enter.

But faced with this sudden opportunity, Alexei was not prepared at all. He wanted to seize this opportunity too much, so he took off the football and planned to shoot. But this adjustment made him the most confident.

The shooting route is blocked, and if you want to shoot at this time, you can only choose a small angle.

Alexey naturally did not dare to shoot from a small angle. He was too afraid of wasting this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so his second reaction was to pass the goalkeeper and hit an empty goal completely. This way, he had the best chance of scoring.

Gong Li didn't give him a chance to pass him, he fell to the ground decisively and poked the ball out with his right hand. Mao Xiuquan behind Alexei got the ball and made a big kick.

"Oh my, I won't do it next time!"

"It's okay, they are lucky, but their ability to seize opportunities is terrible!"

Both Gong Li and Zheng Guohong felt like they were surviving a disaster, but Zheng Guohong did have a problem with this goal, but since he didn't concede the ball, Gong Li wouldn't say anything more. After all, no matter how good a defender is, it's impossible for him to never make mistakes.

"Damn it, this is too dangerous!"

The Chinese audience just swallowed back the heart that almost jumped out of their throats, but then they gloated and laughed at the annoyed Soviet striker on the TV who was kneeling on the ground and filming frantically.

Commentators from all over the world were complaining that he wasted a golden opportunity, and the Soviet commentators were even so angry that they cursed!

But to be honest, if the pressure of this kind of finals were applied to ordinary players, or even some stars with poor psychological quality, their technical movements on the court would probably be distorted.

There are probably not many active players in the world who can truly make the most correct decisions in the blink of an eye under the high-pressure atmosphere of such a final.

Wu Jie felt that even if it was Yang Shuhua who handled the ball, he probably would not have chosen to shoot the ball in the air immediately, because the test of reaction and footwork would be too high, and the probability of the final shot missing would be very high.

Therefore, it is not a wrong choice to stabilize the goalkeeper first and then shoot the empty goal. It is just that the footwork failed to perform well under the excessive pressure. Gong Li showed world-class level in this attack, which made the Soviets

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed.

"With this save of my little brother, even the richest families can win!"

Lin Yaodong was very proud at this time. He knew that Gong Li had definitely left a deep impression on the major European clubs with his world-class performance. His save was indeed wonderful and crucial!

"More than that, I think it might be higher than what you were worth back then!"

Of course Wu Jie knows the value of this save. In the past two years, the value of Chinese players in European football has also increased because of them. Therefore, if there is no US$3 to 4 million after this game, I am afraid that he will not be able to win Gong Li. If Lin Yaodong works hard to help him,

It is not impossible to directly blow up to five million US dollars.
