Chapter 60 The Frozen Gate

The fans in the audience still sat calmly in their seats, waving the red shield flag, encouraging their hometown team.

The Russians possess an uncanny composure, eager to win but determined that their team can win.

Over the years, no matter what difficulties they face, the powerful Russians have overcome the difficulties with their tenacious will to fight against the ice and snow.

Throughout the winter, in the bitterly cold place full of wind and snow, there is no stove, only wine, which can stimulate the most powerful potential of human beings.

The howling cold wind and the freezing snow and ice sealed the continent and isolated it from the troubles of the outside world. They endured unimaginable sufferings and grew and grew stronger through experience.

Lin: Now the two sides are standing on the starting line again, which gives great encouragement to the Egyptian team playing away.They started a more active scramble and crazy attack.

Wang: Everyone has desires. They haven’t entered the World Cup for a long time before, and they were punched first at their home court. They were a little confused. However, after they scored a goal, their confidence improved, and they also Dare to think about winning.

Lin: It's good to have ideas. However, Russia is playing at home, and after they were scored a goal, they began to strengthen their defense.4 people in the backcourt, and two defensive midfielders, formed a hexagonal formation, encircling the Egyptian attacking players in the center.

Wang: Russia's defense is known as the "frozen world". They put all their strength into defense, and it is really difficult for ordinary teams to break through.

Lin: A piece of ice blue jersey, dancing with the wind, wherever the ball goes, there are immediately defensive players following up, not giving an inch, and defending closely.

They are tall and mighty, forming an impenetrable ice and snow forest. With their hard bodies and tenacious will, they blocked the Egyptian team's attacks again and again.

Wang: Modern football is dominated by offensive football, and defensive teams are doomed to be unable to go further. However, any successful team has a solid defense. If there is no top defense as the backing, blindly Pursuing offense and fighting against the opponent, although the scene looks good, it belongs to the style of play of "killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred".

Spain and Germany can achieve good results in various competitions, which is inseparable from their strict defensive system.

Of course, they also have extremely fierce attacks, sharp spears, and strong iron shields, so they can defeat all kinds of powerful enemies.

Lin: The Egyptian team once again launched a strong onslaught. This time they switched to the left, using Shalawi's containment force to feint in the middle, but Salah took advantage of the cover and ran to the hinterland on the left.

From man to ball, after a wide range of guidance from many players of the Egyptian team, finally, a gap was torn open.

Wang: Shalawi has been caught by a key team, and Elneny interspersed and ran to attract the defense, and it was Salah's unexpected wing attack this time.

Lin: The Russians are going to pay for their negligence.

The two defenders chased left and right, and went to cut the ball at Salah's feet, but Salah had already kicked.

Hit the ball like a cannonball from between the two guards, blasting the hot space in an instant.

The colorful football drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the far point of the goal.

Wang: The players of the Russian team immediately formed a siege and rushed to block the flight of the football.

On the 17th, Ivanov grabbed the front point and immediately shook his head to push the ball out of the baseline.This crisis is difficult to overcome.

The Egyptian team's well-planned attack fell short in the end, but fortunately, it won a corner kick.

Lin: The Egyptian team is really a thief. Under the heavy package of Russia, there is still a chance.Although it was not successful, it also showed the courage of the Egyptians.

Looking at this corner kick again, the Egyptian team arranged for Shalawi to serve.He is the soul of the entire Egyptian team and played a very important role in sorting out the Egyptian team's offense.

This time, he used the outer instep of his right foot to hit a powerful high float ball, spinning and flying to the right rear point where the most people gathered.

Wang: A piece of ice blue and blood red dances like a struggle between ice and fire, entangled with each other, but the focus is the football that is only as big as its head.

Lin: In a moment of confusion, the ball was suddenly grabbed by someone first, and it was poked out by a foot and flew to the upper left corner.

It was the Egyptian Messi Salah, who took the lead in seizing this shot opportunity by relying on his excellent sense of grabbing points.

The Russian defender wanted to defend again, but it was too late, so he could only watch goalkeeper Akinfeev.

Wang: A good goalkeeper can act as the backbone of a team's defense and is the most important part of the entire defense.

Even, a good goalkeeper can form an indestructible line of defense.Let all the opponent's attacks come back in vain.

Lin: Akinfeev slid quickly under his feet, then took his left foot as the axis, jumped up, and at the same time swung his right arm, the arm soared three feet, and hit the flying football.

Wang: This Russian goalkeeper is 185cm tall and is the captain of CSKA Moscow. He is extremely talented. When he was only 18 years and 20 days old, he was selected for the national team to represent his country.Became the youngest player in Russian history.

This point is that Zagoyev, the soul of the team today, can only rank second.He is also the captain of the young Russian national team.

Lin: Bang, the fist collided with the football, and the football finally slowed down and changed direction.

The ball was blocked and flew to the edge of the penalty area on the left.

The crisis is still not resolved, because the 'Little Pharaoh' Shalawi has already rushed over.

Two Russian defenders chased desperately, affecting his chances of receiving the ball.

Wang: Because of a mistake, the Russian was shot through the goal by this talented shooter, which led to the current score of 1:1.
Now the game has less than 20 minutes, the Russians must go all out, at least maintain the result of the tie.

Otherwise, as the host, in the first game, they were attacked and killed by a recognized underdog, that would really be embarrassing.

Lin: Under the close pressure of two people, Shalawi, not to mention waiting for an opportunity to shoot, even had a hard time touching the ball.

In the end, the ball was kicked out of the sideline by No. 5 Neustadter with a big kick.

Wang: At this time, the Russians have an absolute advantage in defense with their strong bodies.

They use the eagle's sharp claws and sharp beaks to pounce on this weak prey.

Lin: If the Russians are eagles, then the Egyptians are flexible and cunning snakes, waiting for an opportunity to move and extremely vicious.

As the game progressed, the Egyptian team was already on par with the Russians on offense, and even led twice with 12 to 10 shots.

If there is no solid defense line, I am afraid that the score has been rewritten now.

Here, 32 praises must be given to the Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev. It is his left and right blocks that keep the Egyptian team's shots out again and again in order to keep the goal.

Wang: Well, seeing him, one can't help but think of Yashin, a legendary Russian goalkeeper known as the 'Black Spider'.

Akinfeev, since becoming the main goalkeeper of the national team, has made outstanding achievements many times. He still maintains an impressive record of 7 consecutive club games without conceding a goal and the national team without conceding a goal for 385 consecutive minutes.

It can be said that whether Russia can advance depends on Zagoyev, and whether it can get a good ranking depends on Akinfeev.

Lin: You can see that his eyes are as cold as eternal glaciers. Standing in the goal, he is like a ravine in the middle of the mountains, making intruders deterred.

With his nimble footsteps and accurate judgment, he formed a frozen world, completely isolating the goal from the outside world.It is really difficult and dangerous to cut through the ice wall.

Wang: As time goes by, both sides want to score goals again to win this game and take the lead in the group.

After all, they have to face the Portuguese team led by Ronaldo. No one is sure that they can beat them, or even draw, it depends on the state of Portugal.

Lin: The Russian team's offensive routine is relatively simple. They use their physical advantages to create opportunities for Zagoyev to shoot. They also use their running positions many times to block the defense of other defenders, allowing Zagoyev to face one or two. Defender, conduct a personal assault.

But the Egyptian team would rather kick the ball directly out of the baseline and give you a corner kick than give you a chance to break through and shoot.

Wang: Zagoyev is still relatively poor in confrontation, but his physical fitness against the Egyptian team is still good.

He is not like Ronaldo and Messi, who combines strength, speed, and skill. He can only rely on dexterous skills and surprise attacks to pose a threat.

It is obviously not his specialty to let him play thousands of miles and ride alone as the main line of attack.But there is no way, the Russian team, there are no other players with super offensive power, he can only assume the responsibility of the assault.

Lin: Time is running out, the linesman raised the sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time, and the two sides are still tied at 1:1.

There are not many opportunities left for the two teams. Except for the two defenders and the goalkeeper, the other 8 Russians all pressed to the center line.

It seems that they are going to launch a desperate attack.

Wang: Russia patiently passed the ball backwards in the midfield, still so accurate and concise, with one kick in place.

Djuba and Zagoyev made a counter-running cooperation, and secretly allocated the ball to Kokorin who followed up and was in an open position.

Lin: Djuba is on the left and Zagoyev is on the right. The three are distributed in a triangle. Kokorin can shoot by himself or try to pass the ball.

ah! !Kokolin still chose to believe in himself, facing the defensive defender, and shot furiously from the left side of the penalty area.

The whistling wind was heard, and the ball, with a strong spin, rushed directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

Wang: The goalkeeper is on the attack! !There is still 10 centimeters between his outstretched arm and the spinning football.

Lin: The goalkeeper tried his best, but still didn't touch a piece of the ball.

But this kick was kicked a little too high, and with a trace of regret, it flew over the junction of the crossbar and the right post, and landed unwillingly outside the field.

Wang: With the referee's long whistle, the first game of this World Cup ended. In the end, Russia and Egypt shook hands with each other 1:1.

Lin: Thank you so many viewers for being able to accompany us to enjoy this wonderful game in the middle of the night.

good night everybody!The World Cup has just started, and the excitement is not to be missed. Starting tomorrow, there will be many games. I will bring you the match between Spain and Australia.

　Wonderful World Cup, so stay tuned.
