Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 471
Chapter 471 Learning from Kaka
With Diego Costa’s goal, Brazil leads Argentina 3:1.
Two goals ahead of rival Argentina, which made the Brazilian fans in the Maracana Stadium completely crazy.
Cheers, screams, shouts resounded through the sky.
“Hahahaha, it seems that the Brazilian team is sure to win the championship this time.”
“That’s right. The team coached by Chen Ran has never been reversed with a two-goal lead.”
“Argentina is too miserable. When they hosted the Copa America last time in 2011, they lost to Brazil in the final. I didn’t expect that three years later, they would lose to Brazil in the World Cup final.”
“Huh? That’s really the case. This probably means that friends don’t get together.”
“The most unlucky thing is Messi. He was about to win the championship trophy twice, but he lost to the team coached by his boss.”
“Hahahaha, from this point of view, Messi must be full of resentment towards Chen Ran, right?”
“Damn it! There is really such a possibility. What if Messi wants to leave Crystal Palace because of this?”
“Ahem, the game isn’t over yet, isn’t it a bit of a failure for you to do this now? Be careful to have another night in Istanbul.”
“Bah! Bah! Bah! Shut your crow mouth!”
“It’s okay, with Chen Ran here, I can’t overturn the car.”
Although there is still about half an hour in the game if injury time is counted, the gap of two goals is still a huge lead for teams of comparable strength like Brazil and Argentina.
On the sidelines, the Argentine coach Alejandro Savilla, who was still calm when the team fell behind 0:1 and 1:2, was completely anxious.
He roared loudly on the sidelines, calling the players to kick off quickly, and complained to the fourth official that the Brazilian players took too long to celebrate.
And, he once again adjusted the formation on the Argentine field.
Because Alejandro Savilla discovered that pulling Messi into the middle to play the attacking midfielder is not effective.
After arriving in the middle, Messi is always double-teamed by the two major midfielders of the Brazilian team, Fernandinho and Ramirez, and the threat is greatly reduced.
So, Alejandro Savilla re-transferred Messi back to the right, and then let Aguero go directly to partner with Higuain as a double striker.
On the Brazil team, unlike the excitement of the players and assistant coaches, Chen Ran has been observing the game calmly.
I don’t know if it’s because he has won too many championship trophies, so that even when the Brazil team scored a goal, Chen Ran just smiled and applauded, without feeling any excitement.
When he saw Alejandro Savilla’s latest adjustment, he immediately turned around and called Casemiro over from the bench.
“Carlos, go warm up now. After replacing Diego Costa on the pitch, you, Fernandinho and Ramirez will form a back three.”
“You tell other people, we will change to defensive counterattack tactics from now on. The team’s formation has also changed from 4231 to 433 without strikers.”
“Once I get the ball, let Kaka, Oscar and Coutinho fight back. The others don’t get involved. They all stay in the backcourt and put all my energy into defense. Understand? ?”
“Understood, boss.”
Nodding heavily, Casemiro immediately turned around and ran to warm up.
Soon, Alejandro Savilla saw that the Brazilian team replaced the team’s only striker, Diego Costa, with Casemiro.
Replaced the only striker with the defensive midfielder, and the threat of the Brazilian team to the Argentine defense line was immediately greatly reduced.
However, Alejandro Savilla was not only unhappy, but also frowned even tighter.
Because, after Diego Costa went off the field, the Brazilian team’s formation immediately retreated sharply.
Even Kaka, Oscar and Coutinho, who are at the front, are cruising near the center line.
Obviously, the Chinese man is planning to switch to a defensive counterattack tactic to keep the two-goal lead.
For Argentina, this undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of attacking.
Whether he can score two goals for the Brazilian team in the short time left, Alejandro Savilla’s heart was cast with a thick shadow.
“I’ll go! This guy Chen Ran is so stupid, he even started to set the bus after leading by two goals? According to the performance of the Brazilian team today, they can take advantage of Argentina’s aggressive attack and score one or two more.”
“The one upstairs doesn’t understand football at first glance. This is the World Cup final, and the result is more important than anything else.”
“That’s right, he is purely standing and talking without back pain. Any other coach would make the same choice in this situation.”
“Chen Ran deserves to be a top coach. He is too steady and does not leave any chance for the opponent to reverse.”
“Hahahaha, it’s always been the chicken that reverses others, and I haven’t seen anyone who can reverse the chicken.”
“I said a long time ago that the real core of the current Brazilian team is Chen Ran, not Neymar. Does this prove it?”
“Those guys who looked down on the Brazil team because of Neymar’s absence due to injury, they are probably going to cry now.”
As judged by Alejandro Savilla, after the Brazilian team shrank and began to set up the bus, Argentina’s offense suddenly seemed to have stepped into a swamp.
Because the distance between the Brazilian team members has been greatly reduced, the Argentine players who hold the ball can easily be pinched by the Brazilian defensive players.
Except for a player with outstanding abilities like Messi who can pose a threat to the Brazilian team’s goal, everyone else is like being chained and difficult to play a role.
The game has entered a state of anxiety. No matter how anxious Argentina’s coach Alejandro Savilla is on the sidelines, he can’t change the situation on the court.
Time passed by one minute and one second. When the game entered the final stage of stoppage time, Messi once again relied on his super personal ability to score the second goal for Argentina.
But, it was too late.
Less than a minute after the Brazilian team kicked off again, the referee Rizzoli on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, with the goals of Kaka, Coutinho and Diego Costa, the Brazil team beat Argentina 3:2 and won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for once again leading the team to win the World Cup, and a special reward of 60 million euros for the championship!”
“Ding, if the host can lead the team to win three World Cup championship trophies, then they will be awarded the honorary title of ‘King of the World Cup’.”
“The honorary title of ‘King of the World Cup’ will greatly enhance the host’s influence in international football.”
Before Chen Ran carefully figured out the new system rewards, the Brazilian team players headed by Kaka flocked to him, lifted Chen Ran and threw him into the air.
“Hahahaha, Chen Ran did not disappoint me. He led the Brazilian team to win the World Cup. We will be called ‘Six-Star Brazil’ in the future.”
“Chen Ran is really amazing! First Portugal, this time Brazil, he has now led two different teams to win the World Cup. Do you think Chen Ran plans to win the World Cup three times in a row?”
“It must be true. According to Chen Ran’s piss, the Premier League and the Champions League have won so many championships. How can he let go of the World Cup now?”
“Exactly. Even if the interval between the four-year World Cup is too long, I guess Chen Ran will have to win at least three consecutive championships before he can stop.”
“Then tell me, which team will Chen Ran coach next? Will he continue to lead Brazil?”
“If it were someone else, I would definitely choose to continue to be the head coach of the Brazil team. After all, I am very familiar with the team, and the Brazil team itself is a top team. It will be less difficult to compete for the World Cup championship. But if it is Chen Ran, then It’s hard to say.”
“What you said above makes sense. This guy, Chen Ran, can leave the Crystal Palace club behind and go to coach the Portuguese national team, which no one is optimistic about. The reason is just that he is bored. If he gives up and continues to coach the Brazil team, I won’t feel bad. Accident.”
“I don’t know which team Chen Ran will coach next?”
“Hahahaha, how about we have a guessing activity?”
“Okay. I’ll go first, Argentina!”
“Fuck! You upstairs are going to make trouble!”
“What? The Portuguese team led by Chen Ran included Cristiano Ronaldo and other Crystal Palace players. Now this Brazilian team also includes Kaka and Thiago Silva. The Argentine team has Messi and Mascherano. Why can’t Chen Ran coach Argentina?”
“Huh? What the upstairs said makes sense.”
I don’t know if someone from the spinach company dived in the place where the fans were chatting. Just when Chen Ran was drunk by the players again, the spinach company added a project to guess Chen Ran’s next coaching team overnight. .
Among them, the Brazilian team topped the list.
Funny enough, Argentina is not far behind.
Compared to the Brazilians who were celebrating crazily, the Argentine players honestly drove back to their hotel after receiving their runner-up medals.
On the return bus, you can clearly hear the sound of the car engine working, which is quiet and scary.
Backed to his room, Messi, who was still immersed in the game and hadn’t recovered from his strength, didn’t feel sleepy.
So he simply started to pack his luggage and return to Argentina tomorrow. Now only being with his family can heal the wound in his heart.
“Leo, look at this news, the bookmaker is guessing which team the owner will coach next?”
Because Mascherano and Messi are teammates of Crystal Palace, the head coach Alejandro Savilla very understandingly assigned them to a room.
Like Messi, Mascherano can’t sleep. He was leaning against the bed and swiping his iPhone, and then he saw this news that was posted on the hot search.
“what?”
Putting down the clothes in his hand, Messi leaned over and took a look.
Then, he couldn’t sit still.
Because, he saw that his own Argentina was following closely behind the top-ranked Brazil team.
Yes, it was Kaka and Thiago Silva who repeatedly proposed to the Brazilian Football Association, which finally prompted the boss to become the head coach of the Brazilian team.
Then, why don’t I learn from Kaka and the others, and bring the boss to Argentina to coach?
Four years ago, he was just a young player.
Although the then Argentine coach Maradona appointed him as captain, Messi knew in his heart that he lacked prestige in the Argentine national team.
Although the old players didn’t say anything, they didn’t take him seriously in their hearts.
But now, he is already the absolute core and captain of the Argentine national team. Regardless of ability or qualifications, no one can challenge their status.
I believe that even the officials of the Argentine Football Association would not dare to risk losing themselves to reject their own suggestions.
What’s more, inviting the boss to coach the Argentine national team is entirely for the good of the team.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and Messi suddenly became excited.
“Javier, I think we can suggest to the Football Association to invite the boss to coach the Argentine national team like Kaka did four years ago. What do you think?”
Seeing Messi’s eyes shining brightly, Mascherano’s eyes lit up immediately.
“I think this method is good. There is no reason why we cannot do what Kaka and Thiago Silva can do.”
“You are the captain of the team, and I am the vice-captain. The two of us will join forces with other players. I believe that even the old men of the Football Association will not dare to dismiss our proposal easily.”
Seeing Mascherano not only agreeing with his decision, but also helping to make suggestions, Messi nodded excitedly, as if preparing to do something big.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Messi frowned.
“What’s wrong? Leo? Did you think of any difficulties?”
Mascherano, who had been staring at Messi, immediately noticed his abnormality.
“Well, I suddenly thought that our current head coach, Mr. Savilla, will step down after the World Cup. But this matter has not been officially announced after all. Is it not good for him to do this?”
“But if you don’t do it now, other teammates will leave here for vacation tomorrow. It will not be easy for you to gather them together.”
After hearing Messi’s concerns, Mascherano frowned.
“Leo, otherwise, let’s just talk about our ideas with Mr. Savilla directly, and after getting his consent, let’s contact other teammates. What do you think?”
“Well, this is a good way. Mr. Savilla is about to leave office, I believe he will not stop us.”
After the discussion, Messi and Mascherano, the captains and vice-captains of the Argentine national team, found the room of the head coach Alejandro Savilla together.
Alejandro Savilla has already confirmed that he will step down after the World Cup in Brazil. He still understands the principle of “staying on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future”.
Naturally, there is no need for him to be a villain, to offend Messi and Mascherano, the two core players of the Argentine national team.
So, after obtaining the consent of Alejandro Savilla, the scene that happened in the Brazilian team four years ago was once again staged here in Argentina.
