Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 608 European Chapter 2003 First Half Decide
As the superstars of the "Galaxy Battleships" who have created a new dynasty in the past three years, it is not that they have not encountered teams with tight defenses, but those teams are generally just ordinary mid-lower teams It's just the team. With their ability, even facing the opponent's iron barrel team is not helpless. With their technology and offensive ability, although it is a bit troublesome, it is not so difficult to score a few goals. However, it is difficult for those giants who are similar to Real Madrid to hold back their faces with such a tight iron barrel formation, but today...

The opponents they face are also national players from various countries. For example, Lucio is Ronaldo's teammate in the Brazil national team, Makelele is also Zidane's teammate in the French national team, and the others are basically stars who are about to reach the superstar level. Even if there is a gap in strength between them, the gap is extremely small, and now, these stars who are not inferior to them in terms of worth and strength are entangled with them with this iron bucket formation that completely ignores their status !

What's more, this is Newcastle's home stadium, St. James' Park!Even if the Newcastle players moved a bit more, the referee would not be too concerned. This is the home field advantage!

Under such a tenacious defense, the offense of the Real Madrid superstars is becoming more and more difficult. Yes, they are superstars and have better abilities than ordinary professional players, but they are still human beings, not the gods of football , nor is it the protagonist in YY novels, who can solve a team of monsters by himself. You must know that in modern football, the gap between individual players is not as big as it was in the 60s and [-]s of the last century. Superstars also need space to be able to display their abilities.

Short pass penetration?Sorry, that needs space, a cross after a break from the wing?That's not bad, but Real Madrid not only don't have a center forward with a good header on the field, but they don't even have a center on the bench. Morientes has already been sent to Monaco by them, retracting to lure the opponent's defense forward?They have done it, but Newcastle has put on a rogue posture of "manly man, if he can't say it, he won't come out", is it a long shot?This is a good way. No matter what happens to Newcastle, it is impossible for Real Madrid players to have no time for long-range shots, but even the best long-range shooters in the world cannot score every long-range shot, let alone With every kick, ten long-range shots can score a world wave. Such a player can be regarded as the best long-range shot player in the world!
Space, space, Real Madrid need space, but Newcastle didn't give them any space. They had very little possession of the ball and were passively beaten most of the time, but they compressed the space in their half to the extreme. Instead, Real Madrid In the first half, there is a lot of space for Newcastle's frontcourt players to gallop.

No. In the 17th minute, Newcastle organized another fast break after stealing the ball. This time, Real Madrid's defense was timely. Beckham stopped Nie Fei's breakthrough in the midfield, and then Real Madrid's players also quickly returned to defense. A heavy defensive formation was set up in front of the goal.

Seeing that Real Madrid's players had returned to defense, Nie Fei gave up the idea of ​​playing the ball quickly and began to control the ball freely in the midfield. Newcastle took control of the ball and passed it back and forth in Real Madrid's half.

The ball hit Stewart's feet on the left. The young England winger didn't do any wonderful feints, but poked the ball behind Salgado, and then immediately rushed with speed!

Stewart successfully crossed Salgado, and then grabbed the ball in front of the opponent and passed the ball into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic jumped high in the middle and beat Pavon with a header!

Casillas made a wonderful save, holding the ball over the bar with one hand!

"Saint Casillas is indeed the most trustworthy person in Real Madrid's defense line. Unfortunately, how many times can you save Real Madrid by yourself?" Mourinho smiled slightly.

Nie Fei took a corner kick, and it was Ibrahimovic who attracted the defense of Real Madrid's two central defenders before heading the ball to the penalty spot. Dyer volleyed sideways without stopping the ball!

"Oh! Dyer hit the ball high! It's a pity, if this goal can be scored, it will be extremely exciting!" Williams shouted regretfully. Indeed, Newcastle's series of attacks just now were very beautiful. , two shots in a row almost scored, unfortunately, the first time Casillas' magical performance saved them, and the second time, Dyer was eager to shoot. The odds of the ball will be much greater.

Mourinho, who had been watching the game nervously, was about to open his arms to cheer, and then he quickly put his hands down, swung them down vigorously, and turned around with regret, He was still muttering non-stop, as if he was very dissatisfied.

Queiroz gritted his teeth. Real Madrid had an absolute advantage in possession of the ball, but they couldn't create any good shooting opportunities at all. Although Newcastle's offense was small, they were more threatening every time. How can they play like this?
"Don't worry... They can't hold on to this level of defense for too long. Such a wide range of running is a great drain on their physical fitness. As long as they can persist through the first half, they can continue to give their defenders If we put pressure on them, then in the second half they will definitely not be fit enough to maintain this level of defense, and then we will have the advantage! Don’t panic, they won’t last long.”

It has to be said that although he has been working as an assistant coach for Ferguson, Queiroz still retains some vision as a coach, even though his role in Real Madrid is a "head coach" who arranges training and then sends superstars to play. ", but his eyesight still exists, otherwise Ferguson would not let him serve as an assistant coach by his side for such a long time, and Florentino would not let a completely incompetent person serve as the leader of the Galacticos coach!

Indeed, with this level of defense, no team can last for too long. After all, each of their players has to run much more distance than usual, so that the superstars of Real Madrid can't find a way to attack. The route, but players are not robots after all, how can they maintain such a huge energy consumption forever?
Let you be arrogant now, wait until the second half, it is the moment for us to fight back!In such a game, the physical consumption of Newcastle players is much higher than ours!

Therefore, although Newcastle's counterattack was extremely sharp, Queiroz did not make a move to prevent Real Madrid's players from pressing too high. The first is that he believes that Real Madrid's offensive strength should be able to score goals. Under the tremendous pressure of the Newcastle players, the physical fitness of the Newcastle players will continue to be lost in the continuous running-if the pressure is reduced, the physical fitness of the Newcastle players will not be consumed too much, then there will only be a stalemate in the second half This is very unfavorable for Real Madrid, which is already one goal behind.

And in Queiroz's mind, any team will definitely pay more attention to defense after gaining the lead against Real Madrid!

But what Queiroz didn't know was that Mourinho didn't intend to use this tactic for the entire game. What he wanted was to decide the winner in the first half and gain a huge lead in the first half!
********************************
In the first half, it was a very arrogant, even a very inconsiderate decision, especially when facing Real Madrid, which has almost dominated the entire Europe in the past few years, and is recognized as the best football club in the [-]th century!

If this sentence is spread before the game, I am afraid that many people will laugh their teeth out, and Mourinho's reputation for arrogance may immediately spread throughout Europe-however, Mourinho is very arrogant, but He made this decision, but he couldn't explain it clearly with arrogance alone.

He does have a lot of confidence. In addition to the four advantages he told Pei Wei before the game, there is another very important point, that is, the tactics adopted by Newcastle itself are all-or-nothing tactics!

It's just that other teams' all-or-nothing tactics usually appear in the second half. The so-called breaking the boat, isn't it the most critical moment, so how can anyone adopt the tactics of breaking the boat?

But Mourinho put the time to decide the winner in the first half, because when the game just started, Newcastle's players were able to maximize their physical advantages, that is to say, in the first half They released their energy without reservation. If they couldn't solve their opponents in the first half, they couldn't solve it in another 45 minutes.

If a sufficient advantage can be established in the first half, then it is enough to use ordinary tactics to entangle the opponent in the second half. After all, no matter how good the physical fitness of Newcastle players is, it is impossible to run like this throughout the game—except for 02 Among the Koreans in the World Cup in [-], who can make almost all the players play the whole game with the frequency of sprinting?
And the so-called "huge advantage" is not just the current lead!So when Newcastle scored the first goal, Mourinho was not too excited to celebrate, but after Dyer missed that good opportunity, Mourinho showed great regret!
"Damn it, don't you know that we don't have much time?" Mourinho thought silently in his heart.

While leading while lagging behind, the expressions of the head coaches of the two sides are surprisingly similar, they are both biting their lips unconsciously, and the camera faithfully recorded this scene.
