賽事前瞻：巴西 VS 智利
當?shù)孛襟w分析
The Rio Times believes Chile will offer “a far sterner test” than what Brazil have faced so far, although the group game against Mexico will have prepared them for the tactics and intensity they will come up against. The Santiago Times is far from confident, meanwhile, calling Brazil Chile’s “perennial bogey team” and “the rival which all of Chile was praying it would avoid”. Let’s hope the players are more optimistic.
巴西媒體The Rio Times并不樂觀，他們認為和智利的比賽將是開賽以來巴西遭遇的最艱難的一戰(zhàn)，盡管此前在小組賽階段對陣墨西哥時，巴西已經(jīng)將技戰(zhàn)術(shù)水平提高到了另一個層次。相反，巴西另一媒體The Santiago Times則對巴西隊充滿信心，他們把巴西稱為“智利的永恒夢魘隊”以及“智利人求神拜佛不想遭遇隊”。讓我們期待雙方球員對比賽更有信心。
Key battle: Luiz Gustavo vs Arturo Vidal
關(guān)鍵一戰(zhàn)：古斯塔沃 VS 比達爾
He rarely plays a long pass, rarely ventures out of his own half and rarely makes the headlines, but Gustavo is arguably Brazil’s key man, along with Neymar. The Wolfsburg midfielder is a genuine anchorman, often dropping between the Sele??o's two centre-backs (see graphic) to allow their full-backs to get forward. Crucially, he rarely strays from a central position, either, which means he won’t be strictly shadowing Vidal, whose free role means he pops up all over the attacking third, as he did against Spain (see graphic). Lightning central bursts are what Gustavo will have to look out for, while Vidal will be among several Chileans looking to stop Gustavo from starting Brazil’s attacks, fairly or unfairly.
雖然很少放長傳、很少離開己方半場參與進攻、很少上頭條，但古斯塔沃和內(nèi)馬爾一樣，可以說得上是巴西隊的關(guān)鍵先生。這名狼堡中場是一名天才司令塔，他經(jīng)常后撤到到巴西隊兩名中衛(wèi)之間，在馬塞洛和阿爾維斯后插上的時候保護后防。更加關(guān)鍵的是，古斯塔沃習慣于鎮(zhèn)守中場，比達爾又善于后插上并在前場扮演自由人，這就意味著古斯塔沃不會緊抓比達爾不放。由守轉(zhuǎn)攻時的靈光一閃是古斯塔沃需要做到的，但與此同時，比達爾將和其余幾名智利球員對他進行夾擊，企圖把巴西隊的進攻扼殺在古斯塔沃腳下。
