Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 33 Mano's Gamble

Putting on a central defender and playing 541, Mano is crazy.

The commentator of the live broadcast complained that he could not understand the substitution of the head coach Mano, and bluntly said that it was a crime to put the 1-meter Wang Po in the defense line of all 78+ central defenders.

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Even many Benfica fans looked confused and puzzled.

This, is this a surrender?People can't help but ask such questions.

Now that you are behind, you Mano should have stepped forward, strengthened your offense, and tried to equalize the score in a short time. On the contrary, such substitutions and positions give people a signal to strengthen defense and give up the game.

The formation is 541 when defending and 352 when attacking.

The three central defenders always stand in the back line of defense is the biggest restriction on the opponent's high-altitude ball.

At the moment of chasing points, if someone scores another goal, it will completely enter the abyss. First set up the fence to plan for the later stage.

Gomez to the center and Wang Po to the front line are Mano's offensive adjustments.

This is an unconventional routine, and one that has never been practiced before. Now that the offensive situation cannot be opened, Mano decided to take a gamble.

Throughout the game, Gomez, who was rooted in the opponent's penalty area, did not take advantage of the two tall central defenders against the two tall central defenders, and the chances of shooting were even more lackluster.

The key factor here is that too many high-altitude balls in this game made them at a loss. The number of times the offensive formation was spread in the frontcourt of the Guimaraes team can be counted on the fingers, so it is naturally difficult to attack threateningly.

Facing the unreasonable breakthroughs of Guimarez's two sideways, the Benfica team was completely restricted.

The so-called best defense is offense, and the explosive points of the opponent's wing completely suppressed the two sides of the Benfica team.

The wing attack cannot be opened, and Gomez, who is struggling to support, cannot get support. Among them, the defenders can double-team unscrupulously.

In this case, changing the attack method and rhythm may lead to unexpected results.

Wang Po has the experience of reaching the center position. That was the arrangement of the coach of the Eagles, but it was the u16 league at that time. Now it is a higher-level, higher-intensity cup game. It cannot be compared with the same day. No one can guarantee the effect.

The first defensive round came off the bench.

Three central defenders stood in the penalty area, two central defenders greeted the opponent's center forward Baal, and one central defender took care of Helen, who could insert at any time outside the penalty area.

The entire defense immediately became three-dimensional, although Baal still got a penalty kick.

However, being sandwiched by two central defenders, he also felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't form an attack immediately, so he could only choose to return the ball to Helen who was inserted in the back row.

This is their very common offensive routine.

Simple, clear, and clear, but it just can't be prevented.

Today, Mano's goal of adding a central defender is to win by numbers.

The central defender, who also took care of the periphery of the penalty area, cleverly blocked Helen's back row to insert the route to grab the point, looked back at the moon, and flew Baal's point to the side.

Gomez, who retreated to the center, had a messy handover between Guimarez's midfielder and central defender, and appeared in a brief unguarded moment.

Gomez responded quickly, and after getting the ball, he raised his head, and Wang Po, who was pressing on the front line, had already activated, understood it, and used a defender's footwork to make a long pass with the instep.

The ball drew a wonderful arc over the Stadium of Light and hit directly between the Guimaraez defense and the goalkeeper.

As the old saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and an inch is short and an inch is dangerous.

Guimarez's tall and big central defender is very good in high-altitude balls, strength confrontation and frontal defense, but his speed is just the Achilles heel of such a large central defender.

If the tall central defender is compared to a tank, then the small and fast striker is a supercar.

When the ball came from behind, Wang Po accelerated, and the two central defenders had to eat ashes behind their buttocks, and Guimarez's two full-backs often overlapped because they had to cooperate with the winger's breakthrough.

After Wang Po caught up with the ball, he went flat and entered the penalty area. It was a one-on-one match between him and the goalkeeper of the Guimares team. The latter tried to interfere with the direction of the shot with his footsteps.

equalized.

"Yes!"

Mano clenched his fists in celebration, he was right.

Wang Po's teammates were overwhelmed. After being ravaged by the opponent's high-altitude ball for almost the entire game, each of them lost their temper and had nowhere to vent their evil fire. Now, this equalizing goal gave them a chance to completely release it.

Also released were more than 6 Benfica fans at the Dragon Stadium.

When Mano played a back five when he was behind, and retreated the striker Gomez to the midfield like a mandarin duck, I don't know how many people were desperate.

Many people even think that Mano has completely given up the cup and surrendered.

The feeling of going from hell to heaven really tests the endurance of the heart.

Wang Po himself was very calm, and did not occupy the game time with too many celebrations, but ran into the opponent's goal immediately, picked up the ball and ran towards the center line.

There is still time, try to score another kill game when the opponent's defense line does not react, and resolve the battle in regular time.

After equalizing the score, the anxious mentality of the Benfica players calmed down.

As for itself, as the championship team of the league, Benfica's hard strength lies there. In addition, after the whole game, the opponent will have three tricks. The rhythm has adapted, and the defense has also made targeted deployments. Guimarez's high-altitude ball is not as smooth as before.

The fences are up, and that's when the offensive show begins.

It is extremely difficult for Gomez to carry the opponent's two 1+ central defenders alone, but he still has a great advantage against a 9-meter midfielder.

With his body leaning against Helen, Gomez got the ball and let the opponent fight. He was like a bulldozer, hanging on Helen to move forward. When the other Guimarez's midfielder pinched, he scored the ball and handed it to Wang Po in the frontcourt.

In the case of receiving the ball with his back, Wang Po took a step forward to pass the ball, and turned around suddenly. The central defender behind him was all focused on the offensive player and didn't notice the ball at all. When he reacted, the ball was already behind him, and Wang Po had already started to accelerate.

We can't let him pass. If Wang Po stands up suddenly, the back line can't catch up at all. Guimarez's central defender, who has suffered a lot, stretches out his hand and pulls him to the ground.

"beep"

The referee blows the whistle, a foul, a yellow card, and the Benfica team gets a free kick at a position 35 meters away from the goal.
