Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 107 The Coach's Way of Thinking

Paredes, who came to the center line to make up for the vacancy exposed by Deco, soon encountered McManaman. The Paraguayan was not as tall as the opponent, but the weight was similar. Paredes lowered his center of gravity and prepared to use his body. He used his advantage to defend, but underestimated the dribbling ability of the Englishman who made his name in Liverpool.

The 1.8-meter-five McManaman showed the technical talent of a small fast-spirited player. While shaking his upper body with his arms open, he quickly connected his feet, and repeatedly stepped on both sides of the ball. The small steps are very deceptive. While moving to maintain balance, McManaman cut his right foot to the side of the ball, followed by a short body and dodged a position.

Paredes, who spread his legs to defend, jumped half a step to the left with all his strength, but still couldn't keep up with the frequency of the Englishman. McManaman tapped the ball with his left foot and danced like a butterfly wearing flowers , raised his arms to reduce the contact area and at the same time turned and wiped the outstretched left leg of the Paraguayan.

In less than two or three seconds, Paredes has completely lost his defensive position. McManaman started to accelerate again. He saw Zidane's hands behind his back stretched out for the ball, so he slanted forward with his left foot Push, the ball has been sent to the French side.

When Zidane stopped the ball, his right foot, which was still stepping on the ball, took a false step towards the left. Taking back the space earned by this step, he easily completed the turn towards the goal.

Keeping Mourinho's instructions in mind, Costinha saw Zidane no longer holding the ball behind his back, and immediately stretched his arms to stick it up. In any case, he could not let him comfortably hold the ball in the 30-meter area.

The French obviously guessed this action. In fact, most teams will use this kind of close defense to limit themselves. Zidane has long been used to fighting with one or two midfielders. In an instant, he stepped on the ball with his right foot on the side and back, and his left shoulder sank to catch the Portuguese's dark impact.

The pure white long-sleeved jersey covered the muscles of France's front waist, but Costinia could clearly feel the huge kinetic energy from the opponent, which was not at all inferior to the strength of any player with the title of beast waist, although Zidane was also knocked back half a step, but he quickly turned around.

The Frenchman, who switched legs to control the ball, turned the ball back a little with his left foot, turned around and passed Costinha's right. The man behind the move passed the ball cleanly, and when he turned around to chase after him, although Zidane's speed was not fast, the advantage he had established before was enough for Costinia to reach the ball under his feet even with a shovel. The ball is gone.

Ricardo Carvalho remembered his task, but Costinha was out of position, and he could only quickly pull out of the penalty area to block the space.The moment the young man crossed the edge of the penalty area, Zidane planned to pass the ball low and straight to Morientes behind him, but Carvalho knew that he could not give up his position without intercepting the passing line, so He cleverly took an extra step to the right.

Zidane vigilantly discovered the thoughts of this young central defender. The opportunity was fleeting, and the only gap that could be passed to Morientes had been blocked, and the lateral dribbling outside the penalty area was difficult for a slow player like him. very dangerous.

In order to deceive Costinha and Carvalho, the Frenchman pretended to continue to stare at the direction of Morientes' oblique thrust, but rubbed the outer instep of his right foot to the side and rear of his body. He didn't even look at it. A glance there, "no look pass"!
Real Madrid's performance in the league in the first half of the 2001/02 season was disastrous. Zidane, who came a year late, and Figo, who had already established the core position on the right, did not have a chemical reaction. Overlapping, it took Bosque half a season to mix the two cores of the Galacticos.

After one person attracts enough defensive players, he pulls the ball to the side and hands over the command to the other person who repositions in the middle. It took him a lot of work to get used to each other's presence, that is, a Spanish coach with enough seniority in Real Madrid can hold the field.

Figo, who followed up from the right to the frontcourt, easily understood the intentions of his teammates. Zidane rarely forced a kick when the two were pressing, so now there was only one choice left. He knew that before The Frenchman, who was still shaking his head and observing quickly, was thinking about something, so he naturally came to the 30-meter central area vacated by Zidane.

Sure enough, there was no tacit mistake in this "no look pass", and it was passed steadily to Figo's feet. The defensive left back Mario Silva still needs a little distance to get close. The Portuguese superstar has enough Time to judge the next choice.

The Spanish striker, who is good at running without the ball, immediately stopped his forward steps after realizing that Zidane had no through space. After a while, he also dashed back, but the time difference had been keenly grasped by Figo who was in a static state.

Before Mario was in place, Figo made an arc with his right foot and hung straight into the sky on the left side of the penalty area. The two people who were still running fast near the penalty spot jumped up almost at the same time, but An, who was half a step slower, jumped up. Drade didn't know enough about the arc of the ball's spin. Even though he took off with all his strength, the ball still swept past his curly black hair and fell to the top!
Under the control of the powerful waist and abdomen, Morientes' leaping body forcibly completed a 180-degree rotation in the air. He pressed his hands on his chest, and the instantaneous straightening of his spine made him seem to be raised again in the air. Three or four centimeters.

At this time, Figo's pass has been drawn to the end of the beautiful arc. Morientes' sense of smell and position selection in front of the goal are really top-notch. It is only the time difference of running without the ball that allows Figo to successfully find him. The most comfortable passing space in front of the goal.

The only fly in the ointment is that Morientes' weight of [-] kilograms cannot keep Morientes in the air for too long. Figo's pass is already a bit low. He can only choose to head the ball to the lower corner near the goal post. If he does not , the strength of this header will be much smaller, and Morientes must also borrow the effect of gravity.

Fortunately, Vitor Baia, as the main goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, is very familiar with Figo's different movements in training. After judging that Real Madrid's No. [-] has no intention of direct long-range shots from outside the penalty area, he immediately aimed at Morente. The direction of Si's running began to move ahead of time.

That is to say, these few steps were moved ahead of time, so that Baia could complete the action of blocking the ground in time, and the header bombing of Morientes did not hit the ground but directly hit the goal, and the Porto goalkeeper got the chance to rescue. , In order to prevent the Real Madrid center's supplementary shot, he didn't even dare to shoot the ball, and directly pushed the palm of his right hand towards the front of the goalpost.

After Morientes landed, it was a pity to watch the ball that was almost bound to be scored by Baia, and Secretario, who was afraid that someone would pop up behind him, made a clearance directly. Porto's backcourt Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, Real Madrid's strength was so terrifying, their own defenders didn't make any mistakes, and they still saw the possibility of scoring from a subtle point.

Since Deco was intercepted by Makelele, there was no sloppy adjustment, or even too much horizontal dribbling to open up space. The four-legged pass directly hit Porto's penalty area. Mourinho felt an unprecedented threat. While he was afraid, he also fell into thinking about the transformation of Real Madrid's counterattack rhythm.

Why can't Porto play such a high-quality counterattack when facing a tough defense?Just because of the high net worth of Real Madrid players?No, not exactly, there are countless factors affecting it, such as speed, breakthrough, the rotation of the core players' possession of the ball, the pull of a single forward, superb personal ability and calm thinking when seizing opportunities, there are too many things that Porto needs learned.

Mourinho's eyes lit up. Whether it was Bosque's tactical training or the player's flash of inspiration, he saw what he was after, high efficiency, which is what Porto needs most at this stage. He didn't know if the players on the court felt the same way as him, or if they were simply born with fear and fear.

Real Madrid's two wingbacks haven't played yet. Just relying on the cooperation of five players on the central axis, Porto's backcourt, which has accumulated a large number of troops, has torn apart the gap. Where is the most important point?Is it a steady shot from defense to offense?
No, this is just the initial starting point of the attack, and it didn't play a decisive role. Mourinho stared at McManaman, whose long hair was fluttering and unrestrained, and his brain was thinking quickly. It seems to be in this Englishman, or not only in him.

Players with both skills and speed are responsible for advancing, passing through the midfield area that is mainly one-on-one defense as fast as possible, and then switching to a more stable static ball holder to attract the attention of the opponent outside the penalty area, which is the most critical step.

It is not wrong to send Carvalho to try to cut off the connection between Zidane and Figo, but if Figo retreats, the exposed space of the central defender will greatly increase the risk of conceding the ball. Marking the baseline, give that to Mario Silva?
No, the body of the full-back does not have an advantage at all when facing the midfielder directly, and there is a high possibility that other loopholes will be found. Looking at Salgado who is hiding on the right, if Mario gives up the original In the position, Real Madrid's right wing-back's bottom cross will make it very difficult for Carvalho to do.

Since Zidane and Figo, two core players whose personal abilities can be called terrifying, can't be locked, we can only find another way to limit Real Madrid's offense from a step in advance, and those guys who are responsible for advancing!
Figo occupies a lot of the ball, so Salgado, who is also on the right, can only be regarded as an engineer-type role. Coupled with Capuccio who goes deep behind the enemy as a check, he is bound to focus more on defense end.

Numerous video tapes have shown that Makelele rarely participates in the attack as a single midfielder, and he can also be ruled out. Mourinho looked to the left side of Real Madrid, where the short Carlos and the tall McManage stood. Man, it turns out that the two of you are the players who are really responsible for advancing.

When the main lineup is playing, Real Madrid's offensive from the left is mostly a counterattack, and when the center is on the right, it often becomes a positional battle. Watching the video tapes can only make out some vague meanings. The feeling is really strong.

Mourinho squinted his eyes, and he even felt the Porto logo on his chest was hot, stimulating his brain to work rapidly to conceive a solution. The old coach Bosque, who was wide-eyed on the coach's bench, suddenly felt a hidden anger of unwillingness to accept.

Who said that if you fall behind the starting line, you will definitely not be able to catch up? !
