Hello everyone, today I would like to share with you the debut of the most luxurious Brazilian team in history at the 2006 World Cup, they faced Croatia. In this game, Brazil's magical quartet, namely Ronaldo, Ader, Kaka and Ronaldo, all started, while the back line was dominated by two superstars, Carlos and Cafu. As the defending champions, Brazil officially started defending the title.
In the first two minutes of the game, Xiao Luo took a corner kick from the right side, and Carlos received the ball on the second point and shot with his right foot from 20 meters from the goal, but unfortunately did not hit the target. This also officially kicked off the Brazilian team's attack. Next, Brazil launched a quick counter-attack, Kaka dribbled the ball from the back to the front, and distributed the ball to Ronaldo on the wing in time. Ronaldo crossed to Ader, who returned the pass, and Kaka's right-footed volley was also high.
Then, in the fifteenth minute, Carlos used his good left-footed long-range shot, which was unfortunately lifted off the crossbar by the goalkeeper, but he quickly drove a tactical corner. Ronaldo's shot from the edge of the box was also saved by the goalkeeper.
Towards the end of the first half, Brazil broke the deadlock with a quick counter-attack, with Cafu distributing the ball to Kaka in the middle, who curled the ball with the inside of his left foot and sent the ball into the top left corner to give Brazil a 1-0 lead. It was Kaka's first goal in the World Cup, but no one expected that it would also be his last. It's emotional.
In the second half, Croatia fought back with all their might to try to equalise. Pushau shot from inside the box but was saved by Deida. Lucio cleared the ball in time. Lecco then fired a powerful low shot with his right foot, and the ball hit teammate Krashnic. Krashnic's shot from the edge of the box turned but was too right and was steadily picked up by Dida.
Ronaldo the "Alien" didn't get much of a chance to get off his feet in this game, and it wasn't until the 56th minute that he received a pass from Kaka, but he hit the ball high.
Although Brazil had a dream quartet up front, their attacks did not form a whole and their rapport with each other was not high enough. They can only solve the problem by shooting from a long range, but it does not work well.
In the second half, Brazil's best chance was a cross inserted by Cafu, and Ronaldo's top quality was very high, but unfortunately it was blocked by Pleticosa.
In the 70th minute, Croatia had another chance, when Babić received a low cross from the left in the box and fired a right-footed shot 15 meters in front of goal, which was unfortunately saved by Dida.
In the 88th minute, Pushau drove the ball from the left and Kranica Jr. headed a ball nine metres from the post, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the end, Brazil beat Croatia 1-0 to open the 2006 World Cup.
However, throughout the match, while Brazil had the most luxurious squad ever, they did not perform well. Their attack is mainly based on going it alone, and coach Andreas Pereira has not built the team into a tacit team.
Well, that's the end of this episode. I hope you will follow, like and comment. Thank you.
