The strongest winger

Chapter 277 Doing the opposite

******
After the re-kick-off, Valencia regained control of the football at their feet, but... there was no way to send the football into the Porto goal.

Whether it is Aimar or Albelda, they can't put footballs in the penalty area. Now Porto is vowing to carry out the defensive counterattack tactics to the end. Even Aiello, the current La Liga dribbler, can't pass people smoothly, because there are too many people at the front of the penalty area, so many footballs can't be stuffed in, let alone people?

Aiello also tried to break through from the side and try to cross, but David Villa couldn't get good results under the Portuguese stalwarts Costa and Pepe.

Mourinho has left Porto for more than a year, but his imprint is still deeply imprinted on every player in Porto. Even after a major change of blood, he has not been able to change in the slightest.

It can be seen from this that the Dutchman Adrianse, who took over as the head coach of Porto this season, is very smart. He kept the main substitute defenders in the Mourinho era, and only made a small part of it without changing the main frame.

This is why Porto has taken the lead in the league this season.

Valencia, like most Spanish teams, always feels very uncomfortable with teams that are good at oppressive defense. Therefore, although the football has always been at the feet of Valencia players, it can only be passed 30 meters away from Porto's goal. But once it enters the 30-meter area, Porto's defense becomes very scary.

The Portuguese players may not be able to compare with the Spanish players technically, but physically... they are far tougher than the Spanish players, so they couldn't find a way to score until half an hour into the game.

On the contrary, the home team Porto's defensive counterattack was flourishing. If Valencia's defenders were not very focused in the process of transitioning from offense to defense, perhaps it would not be as simple as one to zero now.

Flores originally hoped that Aiello and Vicente would take turns to break through the wing to create a threat, and then find an opportunity to cut inside, but Porto's defensive personnel are very reasonable in terms of positioning.

So, I had to give up again.

And Ai Luo has also tried many ways to break through, but always feels a sense of powerlessness, not because he can't break through, but because he always feels at a loss after breaking through, and can't make a second choice in the first time.

"It seems that we need to make some changes," Ai Luo just broke through one, and then was quickly kicked out of the sideline by the second defender, standing on the spot with his hips crossed, muttering, "Setting the ball?"

Soon, this idea was rejected by Aiello, because Porto seemed to be very concerned about the location of the foul. As long as they entered the 30-meter area of ​​​​the defense line, they would resolutely not foul, but use their superiority in numbers to defend.

What Aiello didn't know was how much he left a deep impression on the Portuguese fans in the UEFA Cup final at the Alvalade Stadium in May this year. The free kick of about 30 meters went straight to the dead corner of the goal, which was very shocking!
So, Ai Luo tried to connect with David Villa in the frontcourt, especially strengthening the pass.

No.309 minutes, Ai Luo slashed into the ribs, and Aimar's pass rushed to the horse, and then he did not take the ball after receiving the ball, but passed the ball to David Villa who retreated to around 30 meters.

Porto captain Costa saw that David Villa was about to catch the ball, so he rushed forward to defend himself. To his surprise, David Villa did not stop the ball, but retreated and sent the ball to Ai Luo's diagonally forward route.

Two to one without stopping the ball!

When Georginho ran back, he never expected that David Villa would touch the ball. The football rolled slowly past his feet without responding. Of course, Aiello accepted such a gift, but he still did not take the ball. Instead, he passed the ball across to Vicente, and then accelerated forward.

Vicente dunked the ball to the left before M. Cech, flashed out of the gap, and then passed the ball to David Villa who had run 25 meters away from Porto's defensive area. Seeing this, Pepe wanted to use his strong body to knock David Villa away.

Is there anyone there?
Before Pepe could turn around, she noticed an orange lightning flashing by from the corner of her eye.

The only one who can run so fast in an orange jersey is...

Aiello!

Pepe immediately sensed that something was wrong!

But his partner, team captain Costa is not a vegetarian. Seeing that Ai Luo has accelerated, he couldn't control the head coach's request for the ball before the game, and knocked Ai Luo to the ground.

He is experienced, but he knows that it will be troublesome if Ai Luo leads the ball into the penalty area, and bringing him down at the front of the penalty area is the way to minimize the loss.

But Costa also got the audience's first yellow card.

Although Costa's foul was about 24 yards away from the goal, Adrianse was not angry about it, but gave a high thumbs up to the fouled Costa.

The practice of sacrificing the small self to fulfill the big self is commendable!

Ai Luo rubbed his hurt right arm, turned his head to look at Porto's captain Costa, and shook his head.

Older gingers are more spicy!
******
This ball was too close to the goal, which was not suitable for the characteristics of Aiello's free kick, so this ball was handled by Albelda.

It's a pity that the ball went over the bar.

Porto escaped.

Therefore, all the players of the home team are rejoicing, including the fans in the stands and the coaches on the sidelines.

But Ai Luo found a way here. After all, this team is not led by Mourinho himself, and it cannot really oppress the opponent when defending.

Then Aiello strengthened his connection with David Villa and Aimar, and various one-foot touches emerged one after another, making Porto's defenders hard to defend.

The Dutchman Adrianse quickly discovered the problem, but he had no better solution. He just stood on the sidelines and reminded his defenders to stay in the defensive position and not to shoot easily. Everything has to wait until the intermission.

Fortunately, Porto's players on the field implemented the head coach's tactical requirements very efficiently, and their defensive attention was also very concentrated without any looseness.

In the blink of an eye, the first half will be over.

But the rhythm is still controlled by the visiting team Valencia, and the cheers of the home team fans in the stands are still loud, and there is no sign of stopping.

As Aiello passed the ball to David Villa, and the latter tapped his heel, Aiello shot the ball. After the football flew high into the stands, the referee also whistled to end the first half.

******
There is no good way around the world for a defensive team, not to mention the young coach Flores. This is his second season coaching a professional team, and he is also a beginner. There is no special way, but... When he didn't know what to say at the halftime break, he suddenly remembered the opportunity that Ai Luo got in more than 30 minutes.

"It is already certain that Porto will stick to this score until the end of the game, which means that we will face an iron barrel formation in the 45 minutes of the second half...Facing the iron barrel formation, the whole world has nothing to do except long-range shots and set kicks, but we have to do the opposite..."

When Flores said this, the players in front of him also subconsciously looked at him.

"...Everyone should remember the one-footed passes of Ai, David, and Gillen, right?" Seeing everyone nodding, Flores continued: "In the second half, when we passed around Porto, we could stop the ball at our feet and think about the direction of football development, but... once the football enters the opponent's 30-meter area! We have to speed up and use one pass to tear apart the opponent's defense! Don't be afraid of making mistakes!!"

Speaking of this, Flores reminded Baraja and several defenders again, "...Of course, you must also pay attention to the opponent's counterattack. Remember not to eat Quaresma's fake moves, try to post it as soon as possible. Don't forget, we have defeated Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Nou Camp and Bernabeu!! However, you are better at actual operations, I can only talk on paper."

At the end, Flores was even humorous, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

At the same time, all the players are full of hope for the second half!

……

……

At the same time, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room was harmonious.

Quaresma, who scored a goal, was naturally encouraged by the coach and other teammates.

Of course, Quaresma himself is also very happy, because he scored a goal, and Aiello, who is about to score at the Porto Stadium, has not yet scored.

In addition to the team's victory in this game, it is here that he pays the most attention!

Although Porto kicked off in the second half, the football changed hands very quickly. It felt more like they had a symbolic kick-off and then gave the football to Valencia.

indeed so.

If you want a team that is used to playing defensive counterattacks to play technical tasks, you really can't do it. It's better to be a "facilitator" to send the football out, let the opponent control the ball, and keep your head steady, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Porto's defenders were the same as in the first half, sticking to the half, leaving only one Quaresma in the frontcourt, while the other center, Almeida, stayed at the top of the center circle to harass, so as not to make Valencia's scheduling in the center too comfortable.

However, under Albelda's skillful feet, his defensive actions appear to be very amateurish.

Valencia's attacking players followed Flores' request at half-time to speed up the football as soon as it entered Porto's 30-meter zone.

Aimar suddenly made a direct pass to David Villa, who was backed by Pepe. The latter put a pad on the outer instep of his right foot. Aimar stepped forward to catch the ball. Assonkau immediately forced him up to defend himself, but what he didn't expect was that Aimar had no intention of catching the ball. His legs opened naturally. Albelda stepped in and got the football.

Albelda ignored Alan, who stepped forward to defend him, and directly crossed the ball to the left in the face of the incoming ball. Aiello accelerated to catch the ball, and Georginho rushed forward, but how could his speed compare to Ailuo?Ai Luo got stuck behind him in two or three steps.

So Costa had to go forward to grab the ball, but he was too old, and naturally he was not as good as the young Ai Luo in terms of explosive power. Ai Luo stretched out his long legs and stabbed the football out, and then continued to move forward.

David Villa continued to do the wall, sending the football into Porto's penalty area.

Only now did Porto's defenders realize the danger.
