Chapter 371 Portuguese National Derby
In fact, the Benfica players somewhat underestimated the young winger Yannick Jallow who had spent two seasons in Portugal's third division.

In the 27th minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack!

After the central defender Tonelle intercepted the ball very skillfully, he sent the ball directly to the feet of the core midfielder Joao Moutinho!
After Joao Moutinho took the ball, he decisively passed the ball alone and dodged Raul Meireles' grab!

Fight back quickly!
Joao Moutinho's style is different from that of Lucho Gonzalez. Joao Moutinho is not very keen on killing the ball by himself, and directly enters the opponent's penalty area to complete the shot , but will choose to split the side, run without the ball and then plug in to participate in the second attack.

In the absence of David, it is not difficult for Joao Moutinho to choose sides.

That must be Nani on the left!
Nani is facing the young full-back Fuxilai!
Although Fuxilai is young, his strength is still quite good. Whether it is one-on-one defense on the side or the ability to make assists from the back, he is among the top ranks of the Portuguese Super League.

However, Nani's little tricks are indeed clever!
Forciley, who is notoriously good at playing against wide players, is still shaken by Nani so that he loses his body's center of gravity.

After Nani swayed Fuxilai away, he decisively went to the bottom to complete the cross!

However!Lidson, who was the first point in the penalty area, shot too fast and missed the ball!

Just when the fans at the Jose Alvalade Stadium regretted that Lidson missed such a good chance to score, suddenly, a black shadow came out!
Yannick Jallow!
This young man represented Sporting Lisbon's first team in the Portuguese Super League for the first time!

He actually rushed to the second landing point and shot directly!
Helton didn't have time to react at all!

1 to 0! ! !

"Wow!!!"

"Actually! I actually scored a goal!!!"

"It's Yannick Jallow!!! Jallow!!! Oh my God! It's this young man!"

"Amazing! It seems that Sporting Lisbon has acquired another talented wing attacker!!!"

"Gallow!!! Gallow!!! Gallow!!!"

"Yannick Jallow!!!"

……

The Jose Alvalade Stadium exploded in an instant-no one would have thought that the one who helped Sporting Lisbon break the deadlock was the young player Yannick Jallow, who replaced the main right winger David!

"Tsk tsk tsk, slap your face!"

Diego smiled and looked at his teammates: "Facts have proved that on the football field, the blue is still better than the blue! Talents come out in large numbers, and one generation is better than the other."

Regarding this, Simao also said noncommittally: "The youth training of Sporting Lisbon's wide players is really good, and the wingers produced are better than each other. Porto relies on Quaresma on the right side, and it is also the youth training of Sporting Lisbon. Born, went to Barcelona and couldn’t play, so he returned to the Portuguese Super League and joined Porto... Oh! The audience at the Jose Alvalade Stadium booed Quaresma, that was really exaggerated.”

Pettit laughed and joked: "Haha! Simao, I think, within two years, your position in the national team will basically become Quaresma's."

"never mind……"

Simao shrugged his shoulders quite easily: "Anyway, after playing the European Cup in 08, I also plan to retire directly from the national team. Now Portuguese football has a lot of good players on the wing, and I occupy the country. The veterans who have been on the sidelines for seven or eight years should also leave their positions to the newcomers and concentrate on the club's games."

"That's my plan too. If I can finish playing the European Cup in 08, it's time to quit the national team and give the rookies a place."

Nuno Gomez also said with a smile on his face: "There are so many good players in the frontcourt in Portuguese football, and the backcourt is still relatively out of gear, but according to the quality of the youth training of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, I believe there are too many players. In [-], there will also be very good central defenders springing up like mushrooms."

"Haha! Nuno, if you and Simao retire from the national team, then I should join you..."

Regarding the topic of retiring from the national team, Petit also expressed it very easily: "Joao Moutinho's development momentum, I believe he will become the core midfielder of the national team in the near future, and I will not be needed in the future." The old minister went to support the pass control of the midfield. Moreover, Qiaoao is indeed more spiritual than me. The national team uses him as the core midfielder to build a tactical system, and then cooperates with Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma. I believe we can form a national team with the best offensive strength in Europe!"

Nuno Gomez suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Hey! The crux of the problem is that Scolari cannot be allowed to build a tactical system!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"That's right! You have to change people!"

"Heroes see the same thing hahaha!"

To Diego's surprise, after Simao and Petit looked at each other, they also laughed heartily.

Obviously, the core international players of the Portuguese national team have a lot of opinions on the tactical system constructed by the Brazilian coach Scolari.

In later generations, when the Brazilian coach Scolari led Guangzhou Evergrande, he was criticized by fans because of his conservative employment and unchanging tactical system.

When Scolari led the team, there were still many spiritual young people on the bench of Guangzhou Evergrande. At that time, the core team of Guangzhou Evergrande was getting older and older, and their physical condition could not be compared with professional players. Compared with the golden period of his career, the third-line combat will definitely collapse due to the lack of physical fitness.

In the end, Scolari was fired because of his poor record in the AFC Champions League despite winning the domestic league.

Scolari's conservative employment also led to a further delay in the succession progress of Guangzhou Evergrande. It was not until Cannavaro returned to Guangzhou Evergrande from Tianjin Quanjian that Guangzhou Evergrande's rejuvenation process was slowly slowed down. Promoted, and Guangzhou Evergrande, a group of veterans from the dynastic era, have basically reached the twilight years of their careers.

after all……

Everyone knows the true age of Chinese players~ You have to add two or three years to the registration age.

……

After Sporting Lisbon opened the scoring, the small face of Paul Bento in front of the coach's bench of the home team was about to burst into laughter.

After all, Sporting Lisbon and Porto lost both matches in the league last season. In this game, Sporting Lisbon was able to open the first record, which means that it is not far away to get three points at home.

Of course, to some extent, there is also the reason why Paul Bento is more forgiving.

After all, at this moment, the game has only passed one-third of the time. Facing Porto's very powerful attacking and advancing ability, it is still a big question whether Sporting Lisbon can hold 1-0 to the end. problem.

You must know that the tactics of the Sporting Lisbon team led by Paulo Bento are more offensive than defensive. After Porto's fierce counterattack, Sporting Lisbon is only supported by Tonel, a national iron guard. How long the line of defense can resist is a big question.

After falling behind, Porto quickly launched a counterattack!

As a defending champion, the state of the new season is not as good as the overthrowing and rebuilding Benfica. Before the start of the season, it has already fallen behind Benfica by 5 points. Driance was quite critical.

If the first Portuguese national derby of the new season is directly lost to Sporting Lisbon, wouldn't the Porto fans be blown up?

and so!
Ke Adrianse, the Dutch coach, was also quite nervous. The former Utrecht star hurried to the sidelines and directed the players to launch an effective counterattack.

Ronald Koeman, who coached in Benfica last season, is far more famous in Dutch football than Ke Adrianse.

After all, in the player era, Ke Adrianse played the role of a marginal international in the Dutch national team. He devoted all his career to his home team Utrecht, but after all, Dutch football has always been dominated by the four giants. Jax, Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and Twente divided up the seats in the national team. Even if Ko Adrian Segui was the top scorer of Utrecht that year, he did not win in the Dutch national team. What an opportunity, let alone an honor.

Porto chose Co Adrianse to coach Porto, more because he hopes that this Dutch coach who has experience in cultivating young people in junior high school can play a transitional role in the "post-Jose Mourinho era", so that the echelon After the young people were able to stand on top of the dark horse of the Champions League to win the championship, they have suffered serious blood loss.

But in fact, Ko Adrianse did not allow Porto to complete the transition between new and old players very smoothly.

Since even Ronald Koeman, a famous Dutch football coach who was able to achieve outstanding results in coaching at Ajax, is quite dissatisfied with coaching in the Portuguese Super League, the Porto group is even more demanding than Benfica. The top executives will definitely seriously evaluate the future of Ke Adrianse.

If it wasn't for winning the championship in the Portuguese Super League last season, or Porto's poor Champions League record last season, Ko Adrianse would have been swept out by Porto's demanding executives.

At present, Co Adrianse has only one year left in his contract with Porto.

Porto club executives are not inclined to renew the contract with Co Adrianse, and Porto fans are more inclined to hook up with "Minho Arsenal" Braga Godfather Jesuardo Ferreira!

After all, under the leadership of Jesúardo Ferreira, many young people have emerged in Braga. It can be seen that this well-known coach in Portuguese football is still very good at training young people .

Facts have also proved that Ke Adrianse is a coach who is good at leading the team with the wind. Facing the headwind, Ke Adrianse seems quite weak.

In the rest of the first half, although Porto launched many counterattacks, there were too few effective offenses. Most of the offensive cooperation was directly resolved by Sporting Lisbon's defense before it reached the penalty area, or It is long-range direct firing, but basically it is the rhythm of going to the sky.

In the end, the first half of the game could only end with a score of 1-0.

This made Co Adrianse quite frustrated.

After all, after Sporting Lisbon took the lead, they didn't organize any decent offensive. They basically stayed in the backcourt to defend. There was only one shot on target, which was too bad to describe.

In the VIP stands of the Jose Alvalade Stadium, everyone in Benfica also began to make various comments on the first half of the game.

"It seems that Coach Adrianse has no tricks."

"Porto feels too anxious to play. They have the speed of Quaresma on the wing, the high point of Postiga in the center, and the all-round midfielder like Lucho Gonzalez in the midfield. This card is comparable. Sporting Lisbon is much better and it really shouldn't have played like this in the first half."

"In my opinion, it is mainly Ko Adrianse's coaching ability."

"I also think that Adrianse's ability to handle the headwind ball is too poor."

"Perhaps, the head coaches of the Dutch department can only take the ball with the wind?"

"Hahahahaha!"

……

Obviously, the object of everyone's ridicule is naturally Ronald Koeman, the Dutch coach who was unsuccessful in coaching Benfica.

In this regard, Fernando Santos also participated in the topic more pertinently.

"The Dutch coaches are good at leading the ball with the wind, and they can play very good results against weak teams. But if they play against a strong team, once they get off to a bad start, it will be more difficult to recover later. In the final analysis, it is similar to the offense advocated by Dutch football. Philosophy has something to do."

After all, Fernando Santos shrugged indifferently: "Of course, I hope that when I come back from the second half of the game, Coach Ko Adrianse can make some changes and try to get back the score as much as possible. After all, this game is for us Benfica. That said, a draw is the best result."

As expected from Fernando Santos.

Back from the intermission, Ko Adrianse decisively made substitution adjustments.

Vitolo Baya and Ricardo Costa play together!
They replaced Raul Meireles and Atletico Madrid star Paul Assuncao, who were in poor condition in this game, and decisively continued to strengthen the control of the midfield!
Of course, such a substitution adjustment is also a big challenge for Porto's defense.

In front of the back line, there is a lack of Paul Assuncao, a good interceptor with a large sweeping area. Once Sporting Lisbon has a chance to defend and counterattack, it will directly face Porto's back line.

however……

Paul Bento did not seize Porto's substitution adjustment to make a fuss.

After all, he was still young, and Paul Bento didn't think about it at all. He took advantage of Porto's substitution and adjustment, and the opportunity of the empty defense in the midfield to fight for another victory.

After returning from the second half of the game, Paul Bento let the team stick to it. Even Nani and Lidson returned to the midfield to participate in the defense, and even gave up the frontcourt counterattack.

"Tsk! Is Coach Paulo Bento being too conservative?"

Rui Costa couldn't help frowning: "Just defending and not counterattacking, this is a big taboo in tactical design! If this is scored by Porto, Sporting Siben will be passive there. At that time, Coach Paulo Bento will not It’s too late to regret it.”

As the saying goes: talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as Rui Costa finished speaking, Porto actually scored a goal!

In the 54th minute of the game, Vitolo Baya's oblique long pass found Alessandro Lopez's left side. Alessandro Lopez did not go down, and directly kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle to the goal. Smashing in the middle, after all, Porto is still facing the high point of Postiga in the front.

However, Postiga, who was at the top, did not compete for the first penalty kick, and the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Tonel, the iron guard of the Portuguese national team.

After Ricardo Costa from outside the penalty area followed up, his kick was almost X**Mon's supplementary shot, which actually helped the team equalize the score!
Even, the ball went straight to the absolute dead end of Sporting Lisbon's goal!

Ricardo, the No. [-] goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, can only watch the ball go into the net in a daze!

1 is better than 1!

After a long attack by Porto, they finally equalized the score!
"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Diego smiled and looked at his teammates: "How is it! Did you slap your face again? Just now everyone was still complaining about Co Adrianse's on-the-spot scheduling ability, now? Vitolo Baya Indirect assists, Ricardo Costa's put-in shot, it's all about talking."

"Ha ha!"

Diego's ridicule also made Fernando Santos happy: "That's okay! I hope this game will end with this score. I hope I can really say what I want."

After being equalized by Porto, Sporting Lisbon looked very flustered.

Obviously, during the intermission, Paul Bento only asked his players to defend the 1-0 result, and did not study with the players what to do if they were equalized by Porto.

Therefore, after Porto equalized the score, they played more actively for a time, and even played more confidently because of the equalizer.

But fortunately, there is still Ricardo, the No. [-] goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, in front of Sporting Lisbon!

Although Ricardo's state is very erratic this season, he is a national goalkeeper with rich game experience after all, and he has no stage fright at all in the Portuguese national derby!

Sporting Lisbon did not concede two goals in a row, mainly because Ricardo saved Porto's must-have goal 10 times in just 4 minutes, which gave the team a chance to breathe.

Seeing that his starting lineup was a bit overwhelmed, Paul Bento tried to make substitutions and adjustments to ease the tense situation, but...it didn't work.

But fortunately, on Porto's side, it seems that Ricardo Costa's shocking long-range shot has exhausted all the team's luck in this game. After that, Porto did not seize any chance to score.

In the 90th minute of the game, Lucho Gonzalez got a perfect chance to make up the goal, but Lucho Gonzalez actually kicked the ball outside the post...

In this regard, Lucho Gonzalez was annoyed for a full minute.

In the end, just as Fernando Santos expected, the first Portuguese national derby of the season ended with 1-1!

"Beep, beep, beep..."

When the final whistle sounded in the Jose Alvalade stadium, Fernando Santos couldn't help standing up with a sigh of relief: "Next, we will see another Portuguese national derby with Porto next week. ! What are the technical and tactical characteristics of Porto's main players?

After all, Fernando Santos showed a smug smile: "Our Portuguese national derby with Porto, can we not be like Sporting Lisbon, sit at home and only have a draw with Porto."
