章 2: chapter:111, Battle 3 Lions
On June 18, sixteen games ended, and the top eight in the 2002 World Cup emerged.
In addition to Italy's upset against the South Korean team, several favorites advanced.
Of course, the headlines of this round were clearly arranged by the host.
This game happened to be the day after the match between Brazil and Belgium, so the Brazilian audience watched the Kung Fu football of the Korean team and the wonderful performance of Ecuadorian referee Moreno through the TV.
After everyone watched the game, the most unified point of view was: Fortunately, we did not encounter the Korean team.
"Is Korea really that powerful?"
"To tell you something you don't know, there is a worldwide vote to select the world's least competitive sports country, and South Korea is well-deservedly ranked first, far ahead of the second place."
There are naturally some votes, but I don't know when they were launched. They can't be verified anyway, and Kaka is not wrong.
Ronaldinho said: "This game ... is too obvious, shouldn't you just let it go?"
Kaka shrugged, "You asked me, who should I ask?"
In fact, Ronaldinho asked the right person. The follow-up situation is something only Kaka knows best.
The most direct impact of the incident is that Italy and South Korea have held a grudge, basically cutting off all football contacts. South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan, who played for Serie A team Perugia, was swept out of the club directly. Since then, there have been no more South Korean players in the Italian league.
Moreno, who became famous in this match, resigned from his refereeing position, took advantage of his celebrity status, and even went to Italy to appear on various TV programs, making him a target of public scorn.
But his ending was not good. In 2010, he was arrested by US police at the airport. Six kilograms of heroin were found on his body, and Moreno was jailed for smuggling drugs.
As for the victims such as Maldini, Del Piero, Buffon, and Cannavaro, they silently healed their wounds and waited until 2006 ... Uh, the year 2006 is really hard to say.
Of course, these things must not be said.
Anyway, this matter once again verified a truth: justice may not be absent, but love is always late.
As of now, the next game will see South Korea face Spain, but Brazil must first consider how to get past England.
The posterity network generally believes that the Brazil team in 2002 is the strongest Brazil team in this century, while the England team in 2004 is the strongest England, but when it is really faced, no one dares to underestimate the team in front.
What made São Paulo fans want to kiss Scolari's bald head was that he put Kaka into the starting lineup again.
However, Kaka did not replace Juninho, but Rivaldo. This was undoubtedly a bold and risky decision. Scolari was inevitably criticized by many people again, but in Kaka's three games with three goals and one assist, these criticisms did not get much response.
But Juninho failed to appear in the starting lineup. Scolari sent Kleberson, obviously to enhance the interception ability of the midfield.
Players from both sides entered under the leadership of Cafu and Seaman.
Kaka is not the most beautiful boy on the field this time, because the number seven on the opposite side is not only too handsome but also has a haircut that adds to his looks. Now Owen is also a pretty boy with a high face value.
The three handsome players in the same frame made many fans feel that the match was worth the ticket price.
After shaking hands with each other, the game started.
"... On the field, the England team wears white tops and blue shorts, and the Brazil team wears blue jerseys and white shorts. The two sides have played against each other twenty-three times in history, but England has only won in three friendly matches."
"Brazil has scored 14 goals in four games and is the team that has scored the most goals since the World Cup began. England has only conceded one goal in four games, and their defense is undoubtedly the best ... "
"The England team has a classic 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Seaman; defenders Mills, Ferdinand, Campbell, and Ashley Cole. The midfielders are captain Beckham, Scholes, Butt, and Sinclair. Up front is the combination of Heskey and Owen.
"Brazil's starting lineup is as follows: Chen Edmilson, Lucio, Junior, Cafu, Carlos, Gilberto Silva, Kleberson, Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo."
It rained yesterday, but today the weather is very good. The sun is bright, and the temperature is just over 20 degrees, which is very suitable for the game.
England kicked off.
The football passed through the midfield to Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole made a breakthrough along the left side. Cafu failed to intercept in time. Lucio quickly ran over and kicked the ball out of the bottom line in the struggle.
England got a corner kick right after the opening.
Beckham stood in the corner area and took a curved shot.
Both players jumped high and failed to hit the ball. Chen Edmilson hit the ball in time and punched it away with both fists.
Brazil's dangerous situation was resolved, but another test soon followed.
In the 4th minute, Owen received the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Junior fouled Owen while contesting for a high ball, resulting in a free kick for England.
It was a bit far from the goal, so Beckham did not shoot directly but made a long pass.
The football flew high. Heskey jumped 14 meters in front of the goal and flicked his head to attack, but did not hit the right part, so Chen Edmilson easily confiscated the ball.
The Brazil team soon retaliated.
In the 6th minute, Gilberto passed the ball, and Kaka missed the front of the penalty area and missed the right goal post.
In the 9th minute, Seaman kicked off with a big kick. Heskey headed the ball to the Brazilian team. Ronaldinho shook off Ashley Cole and passed the ball to Kaka, who then shot with his left foot from 18 meters away. The ball hit Mills' leg and bounced away.
"The game has been running for ten minutes. Ronaldo's state is very low, but Kaka, who is starting, is very excited. He and Ronaldinho have shouldered the offensive task of the entire team, but he still has to choose the timing of the shot. If the two-foot shot can be adjusted and then played well, the hope is still great."
"The pace of the game is very fast. In just ten minutes, the two sides have made four goal attempts ... Look at the ball."
Beckham was knocked down by Gilberto Silva in the middle circle. After standing up, he took a quick free kick. Scholes controlled the ball at the front of the penalty area and then kicked hard against the falling ball.
The football hit Edmilson, and Lucio kicked it out of the penalty area.
The two sides went back and forth, and the competition was fierce. It gave the impression that a goal would happen in the next second, but it would be late.
In the 15th minute of the game, Ronaldinho was brought down by Scholes in the middle of the field, and the Brazilian team got a good free kick.
Kaka, Carlos, and Ronaldinho stood in front of the football.
The three of them gathered together to discuss and finally stood apart.
The referee's whistle sounded, Kaka first came to run, and Carlos followed.
Kaka gently kicked the ball towards Ronaldinho, and he gently fixed it with his toes. Carlos then rushed to face the football and directly hit a heavy shot.
Campbell quickly turned around, trying to use his back to block the ball, but the football still wiped his body and flew out.
Brazil fans cheered and then sighed with regret, because the ball looked like it was scored but actually hit the side net.
