Chapter 66

Let an Italian team hold a 6-1 lead after the opening 0 minutes, and now it is an away game, then how many situations will you encounter?There is only one, and that is that you have to face a line of defense as solid as concrete and fight to the end.

From the day the Italians started playing football, they have been obsessed with the game of building walls for their opponents. No matter whether their opponent is a strong opponent like Brazil or a third-rate team, these Italians will put themselves first. The fences were tightened before thinking about attacking.

The blood of defense and counterattack flows in the body of the Italians. Regardless of how fierce the Lazio team's offense was at the beginning, it is still the Italian tradition in its bones. After 1:0, they must recycle. Excessive risks are not theirs. habit.

Yes, Lazio has become the most entertaining team in Serie A this season, but there is a premise for this title, that is, Lazio is the most entertaining team in Serie A, not in the whole of Europe .

What's in Serie A?The first reaction of anyone who often watches football is that the defensive counterattack mode with strict tactics and uniform organizational structure, even if it is an offense, is based on the interception of the midfield, and more often it is waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

Don’t forget, how did AC Milan’s unbeaten record of more than 50 games come about? It’s not how many goals they scored by relying on the Dutch Three Musketeers, but how many teams their solid defense killed. Attack attempt.

Defense will always be a symbol of Italian football. Even when they are behind, they will not forget this premise, let alone leading now.

Any Italian team will not easily allow their defense to be pierced by their opponents, nor will they lose control of the scene. This is Italian football. You can say it is rigid and stubborn, but they His defense is definitely tough.

Perhaps Mancini is one of the most offensive coaches in Italian football. The Lazio team under his command often uses powerful offense to suppress the opponent's defense. Just like the past 6 minutes, the Lazio team has been pressing. With the Porto team attacking wildly.

But such scenes don’t happen very often. Such aggressive actions are just to suppress the Porto team’s home court advantage. When they successfully knock out a gap in these Portuguese, they will put themselves in a safer place. position.

Mancini's risk is also very selective, especially in an away game like this, and it is still a bad rainy day. He still needs to let his team control the rhythm steadily after leading, don't take it easy make mistakes.

On such a slippery field, with a 1:0 lead, there is no need to take risks, and tactics such as defensive counterattacks are more secure and easier to expand the score. Lazio's overall formation is selective after leading 1:0. Retreating, did not continue to suppress fiercely like in the opening stage.

They let themselves retreat from the pressing mode of the frontcourt and began to try to spend the game in the consumption of the midfield. This method is also the defensive counterattack strategy that the Italian team is best at executing.

Lazio left enough space for Porto to lure the Portuguese out, which gave Porto a chance to breathe, and they finally didn't have to face the Italians' fierce pressing in the heavy rain, and they didn't have to suffer those The offensive pressure was like a storm.

Maybe Mancini trusts his team's defensive thickness too much. He thinks that his midfield can effectively withstand the opponent's counterattack. Fiore and Simeone plus Stankovic's midfield blockade will definitely Form an effective interception.

Such an interception in the midfield seems to be easy to cut off the Porto team's front and rear field links, cut off the Porto team's offense from the middle, and once again make their front field lose the connection point, leaving their forwards to continue to be isolated. Wears down the opponent's patience in midfield consumption.

Moreover, Lopez's counterattack ability is very strong. Although he is not the kind of forward who is absolutely very fast, his sensitivity to counterattacks allows this guy to often achieve success in the Italian arena. Now Mancini needs to use this guy. The advantages.

Maybe this is the inertial thinking of the Italians. They always look for a way that is beneficial to them in such a situation, and the Lazio team is no exception. much freedom.

The Italians may like this style of play in their bones, and they have made a name for themselves in this world because of this style of play. Mancini's idea is actually very simple. He just wants to control the rhythm of the game at the feet of the Lazio team. .

There is no fierce pressing, no continuous offensive, and enough ball possession opportunities, which gave the Porto people a chance to stabilize. Mourinho's roar on the sidelines also reminded them, attack!Attacking is the only way to keep them alive.

At this time, Mourinho's suit was already soaked, but he didn't open the umbrella that Brito handed over, but stood on the sidelines in the rain, directing the players on the field with his loud voice. player.

Now it's the turn of those Porto guys to come out and Mourinho knows that the space behind his team will be the route for Lazio's counterattack, but he has only one thing on his mind right now, and that is to put away the lost The sense of rhythm is back.

As for whether the opponent will seize such a counterattack opportunity, he no longer thinks too much about it. Apart from reminding Carvalho and Jorge Costa to keep an eye on the opponent's striker, he even greeted him loudly. Own full-back presses forward.

Falling behind the opponent at home, there is no other good way but to fight hard. If the opponent returns to Italy with an away goal, then the outcome of the next game may have been doomed. Mourinho now only has Such an opportunity at home.

There are still more than 80 minutes left, and his team still has a chance to come back. Mourinho hopes that what he just said to Lin Yi can be effective. The two offensive cores he relies on most must carry the entire Porto at this time. There is no way out.

When Mourinho's roar was still echoing in Lin Yi's ears, the little black-haired guy suddenly became fierce and stabbed a knife in the Lazio team's half. This fierce blow made Mancini feel himself His heart seemed to stop beating for an instant.

After 6 minutes of torrential rain, the Lazio team handed over the right to take the initiative to attack. Lin Yi was scolded by Mourinho's ear, which aroused the fierceness of this kid. Fiore and Stankovic created quite a bit of trouble.

He is short and has a low center of gravity. This seems to be a physical disadvantage. In such a heavy rainy day, Lin Yi appears to be more flexible than his opponent. He is not used to the sudden stop and transfer of Fiore when he is dribbling. He also fell onto the turf in a very embarrassing situation.

Kong has a strong body but can't stop the opponent. Not only does Fiore look awkward on the court, he has also become a breakthrough for the Porto team on the court, which makes it impossible for Mancini to sit on the coaching bench. , He stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players on the field.

Such an obvious defensive loss made Stankovic ready to defend at any time. He and Fiore had to pinch Lin Yi in the middle, but Deco was liberated at this time, and the Porto team After the five midfielders controlled the rhythm, they began to transfer and pull frequently.

Maniche and Alenichev began to make vertical passes with their full-backs on the two sides, which forced Lazio to expand their formation more, and could not block the gap in the center, while Kos in the center Behind Deco and Lin Yi, Tina also began to press forward.

They form an advantage in numbers locally, and guys like Deke and Lin Yi, who are extremely skilled at their feet, can always find gaps for interspersed running at such times, and they can also find the most suitable route for the ball. This made Lazio's defense start to feel obviously tight.

The four midfielders of the Lazio team seem to be a little overwhelmed at this time. Mancini's idea of ​​choking the midfielder of the Porto team has come to nothing. The black-haired boy has become a serious problem for the Italians. .

His flexible running almost involved the defensive center of the entire Lazio team, which allowed the Lazio team, which gave up the onslaught, to play the role of the Porto team in the first 6 minutes. They themselves have begun to feel the pressure from the defense.

Deco used Lin Yi's involvement to find the rhythm of his own offense. He used his possession of the ball to send two very accurate straight balls to the forward line, but both Dalley and Capsuo failed to knock out the goal. Open the gate guarded by Peruzzi.

In front of this Italian national goal known for its prudence, the two most efficient strikers of the Porto team have touched their noses. Their shots are tricky enough, but Peruzzi's sophistication in position selection and the effectiveness of the entire defense Cooperate, or let them return without success.

Lin Yi may be the most vicious one at the moment. He knows very well that if he doesn't equalize the score while the opponent is still a little dizzy, then when these Italians calm down from the panic, the Porto team will be that unlucky guy .

Seeing Dalley and Kapushu running into a wall in front of Peruzzi one after another, Lin Yi decided to let himself be the key to unlock the situation. He made a very subtle gesture to Deco, which was the two of them. A secret code often used in training.

Lin Yi had been playing the breakthrough role just now, but at the moment when Fiore and the others were completely attracted by Lin Yi, Deco began to dribble forward and press forward with a change of direction. with his own Stankovic.

A sudden change made the Lazio team a little unprepared. They were always attracted by the impact of the black-haired boy, but they forgot that there was a very dangerous guy in the Porto team, but Deco reminded them very humanely.

Deco's sudden advance made Lazio's central defense in a hurry. When Fiore was involved by Lin Yi and Stankovic was broken through, Lazio could only let the central defender Coto step forward to stare at the sudden attack. The Brazilian who rushed over.

However, when Coto made a fierce steal and was about to completely seal Deco in front of the penalty area, the Brazilian threw the football sideways in a strange way, as if he had been prepared to do so from the beginning. Everything before was preparing for this moment.

When both Stankovic and Couto saw the direction of the football, they knew what the Brazilian was going to do, because a black-haired boy was running towards the football, and a chasing one was behind him. Fiore.

Lin Yi didn't give the guy behind him any chance to block him. The moment that clumsy guy tackled the ball from behind, he had already adjusted his body and directly followed Deco's passing angle. The strength is just one kick.

A shot from the edge of the penalty area, such a shot is not a fatal distance for Peruzzi, but when the former Italian goalkeeper saw the strange arc of the football after Lin Yi's kick, he had already The moving body seemed to freeze at that moment.

The black-haired kid didn't make such a fierce volley as Peruzzi estimated. Instead, he used the arch of his foot on such a slippery ground to draw a curved ball and directly hoisted it towards the goal. the upper left corner of the .

The football that slid out of an ecstasy arc in the rain screen roared and flew towards the goal. Before Lin Yi was knocked down by Fiore, he had already seen the flight trajectory of the football. I hope God will never play it again this time. him.

Peruzzi, who has already shifted his body's center of gravity, has no way to forcibly retreat, and the rapidly falling football will not give him this time. He can only try his best to jump back on the spot, his open hands seem to try to block it Live where football goes.

But Lin Yi's tricky shot didn't give him a chance to make up for his mistake. The football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net, leaving Lazio with a face on his back in embarrassment. Peruzzi, and the shaking net behind him.

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The on-site commentary, who had been suppressed for a long time, vented his crazy emotions with such a passionate voice, and the whole dragon stadium shouted with him At this time, no one cares about the ferocity of the rain.

Mourinho even slammed the umbrella in his hand to the ground. The little guy did everything he asked. He pulled the Porto team back from hell with such a precisely guided shot!

The Italian commentator in charge of the live TV broadcast could only sigh helplessly at this moment. The little black-haired guy hit a perfect shot with his foot with a scope, piercing the goal of Lazio. Peruzzi also Played by this kid.

When Lin Yi ignited the flames of Porto's attack in the heavy rain, it was time for the Portuguese to fight back. . .
