World Cup 2010 – Kaka shines the same with Brazil
Although it was measured to the weaker rival group G, Brazil, with a gray Kaka, cost too much to open the can. The Dunga had to wait for the second half to put back on track a game that ended with emotion after a goal by the Koreans. With the 2-1 final, Brazil leads the group.
Brazil began its journey in South Africa very patient with a victory against an opponent who was able to stand up, especially in the first half. In fact, Korea was about to spring a surprise on the edge of the end of the game, when he managed to close the gap with a goal by Ji Yun Nam
And that, perhaps because of the gray image that showed a very unwise Kaka, the Brazilian had to hold on to the additions to the attack of Maicon and the magic of Robinho, who was the author go to habiitaba to Elano to score the second.
The meeting began just very different to how it developed later. With Brazil out constantly on the attack, the Korean combo was enough to defend himself with a big block on defense. Given this situation, Dunga, Robinho and more active player, merely looking shots from outside the area that they met constantly with the Korean keeper.
With the passage of minutes, the game was down an alarming intensity. With the Koreans pleased to contain an entire world champion five times, Brazil ran out of ideas in the area of creation and away from vertical. Only Robinho, who dared with its usual and bicycles, did increase the noise from the now so famous vuvuzela.
The minutes continued to pass with Brazil almost bureaucratic and knowing that sooner or later end up ahead in the marking. Kaka could only connect to spend more wisely the simple and even went to make a mistake in the round that could have complicated the lives of the ‘Canarinha’ if Korea had had more quality in their outlets on the counter. Thus, almost unnoticed, it was time to rest.
The punch of Champions
The Brazilians started the second half with the intention not to be the protagonists of one of the surprises of the World, and began to lay siege, with more craft than ideas, a selection area that gradually Korea was suffering from physical wear face a powerful team.
And Maicon appeared. Intelligence was a move that startled the ghost of a coup that began to emerge in the ‘Canarinha’. The side joined the game of attack and, when all hope that he would one go to the heart of the Korean, it was decided by a shot on goal that, while benefiting from the poor coverage of the keeper, was leaked to the network by putting a -0 in the light.
After the goal, Korea bent arms and simply throwing long balls looking for their star striker, Tae Se, but without much luck. Meanwhile, Brazil came up and pulled out his magic. A highly participatory Robinho invented a magic pass to Elano enabled for this marked the second goal of the game.
Despite the punch that took the Brazilian team in the second half, the match against Korea did not hide the shortcomings of the ‘Canarinha’ in the core area, which began especially Kaka least one every time generates more doubts Despite being called to be one of the players of the tournament. And when the game was spent, emotion Korea put the marker when Yun Nam took Lucio’s doubts shot to Julius Caesar and the 2-1 final. But there was no time for more.
Brazil went with the three points but has yet to improve the image shown to the group’s weakest team.
