Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 110 The Road Has Been Opened (Part [-])

After seeing that Young had started to observe Makelele according to his instructions, Mourinho walked back to the command area. In any case, Paredes always had a yellow card, and Porto's midfielder needed him to do something. Give a lot of on-the-spot instructions.

But Mourinho stood there, but his heart flew to the scene after the change in his perception. In his imagination, Deco retreated from the core point of the center to a slightly behind place to face Guti. And perfectly played the pivotal role of defensive transition, while Young occupied the position of the Brazilian's front midfielder, using his flexible running position and ability to play the ball with one kick to continuously make small-scale transfers in Real Madrid's backcourt.

This has overturned Porto's original pre-match offensive arrangement. To be precise, Mourinho learned this trick from Bosque's tactics temporarily. The dual core of Zidane and Figo in the midfield The rotation system successfully inspired his inspiration. The Real Madrid coach originally wanted to avoid the weakness of the two football masters in terms of speed, but made Mourinho aware of the part that Porto can learn from.

What Bosque needs is the rationality and high success rate of Zidane and Figo in handling the ball. The dual core can ensure the maximum stability of the ball in the midfield. Porto's defensive start has inevitably turned the scene into a positional battle , the Real Madrid coach sent three midfielders in order to maximize the advantage of Morientes running without the ball. At the same time, Guti in the rear can also use his old skills as a forward at any time to complete the finishing blow in the penalty area.

It can be said that this is a helpless move after McManaman was injured and left the field. The only points that can improve the attack speed of Real Madrid are the two wings. The cautious Bosque has also split the three-back system into a double midfielder. , It is bound to not allow Carlos and Salgado to take the risk of plugging in at the same time. He can only use the method of increasing frontcourt players to try to penetrate Porto's dense defense.

In order to be compatible with many superstars, Real Madrid had to turn the middle into a behemoth. These top cores have slowed down due to their age, which squeezed the playing time of other wide players.Bosque has no choice. First of all, he can't let Zidane and Figo replace each other. How can the superstar bought by Florentino Chairman Hao be willing to sit on the bench?
The old coach's dual-core tactical system is actually a superstar "all in", the helpless product of the situation where others can only serve as a foil. The team's struggles at the beginning of the season made Bosque completely reject the plan of a single midfielder .

The top offensive masters in the frontcourt rarely return to defense. Even the well-known defensive players such as Makelele and Herguera will be counterattacked by a large number of opponents when they can only fight alone. Beat badly.

But Mourinho doesn’t have to worry about this at all. Compared with the opponent, the Porto dual-core that is about to debut are all young and immortal colts. Young’s body is gradually getting stronger under the torture of Faria. As for Deco, He is in the golden age of his career and has never been afraid of running too much, only afraid that the head coach will not let him play.

These two guys will even take the initiative to retreat to help teammates when they have no defensive tasks. They also have a strong sense of responsibility when they hold the ball and are intercepted. , It is really a rare perfect choice for a second-tier team at the European level like Porto.

……

Deco tried to find Postiga directly with a long pass in the midfield, but the captain of Real Madrid jumped up and cleared the ball. Waiting for someone to hold the ball, he also mocked Postiga who fell to the ground after failing to compete for the top.

"Just like you, you still want to shake me in the splits. I think you Porto have become lambs waiting to be slaughtered. If you hadn't stuck your ass up and defended there, you might have scored seven or eight goals."

Postiga got up silently and touched the shoulder that was elbowed in the collision just now. The referee was far away from here and couldn't see Hierro's small movements when he was fighting for the top. He stopped the idea of ​​​​appealing and just stared. The smug Real Madrid captain didn't speak.

There was no conflict here, but the situation in Porto's backcourt changed abruptly. Herguera's long pass accurately found Figo who was retreating. To Zidane standing in front.

The Frenchman leaned against Costinia, who was desperately trying to squeeze to his side. At the moment when Porto's midfielder exerted strength to push forward, he stepped on the heel of his right foot and knocked back, easily piercing Costinia's crotch. , Zidane, who turned around, swayed again, and the ball flashed past the Portuguese's outstretched leg while colliding and bouncing between the arches of his feet.

Guti on the left has already started to speed up. As soon as Zidane sent the outside instep of his left foot, Blonde No. 14 dribbled the ball and rushed to the outside of Porto's penalty area. Paredes, who was in charge of marking him, also hurriedly followed. Guti's right foot However, he suddenly stepped on the ball and pulled it, and the whole person turned from a high speed to a static state in an instant, and the Paraguayan who couldn't hold his feet hit him again.

I don’t know if it was Bosque’s pointing, or Guti’s body was really too weak. Paredes’ impact pushed him three or four steps away. Real Madrid’s left midfielder rolled twice on the ground. The referee who followed immediately blew his whistle, ran up to Paredes with a serious face, and waved his hands fiercely.

"This is the last warning. If there is another foul, I will directly show you a second yellow card and send you off!"

The Paraguayan was about to explain that he just confiscated his foot, but Guti quickly got up from the ground, placed the ball where he had just fallen, and then sent it out with a straight kick.Everyone was staring at the referee, only the alert Morientes noticed the movement of his teammates. He stretched out his arms and shook off Andrade, who had just reacted and wanted to hang himself, and rushed towards the referee with his legs. Guti crossed the through ball sent by three or four people.

The Spanish striker rubbed his left foot on the turf, and the ball slowed down and was let to the right. Morientes squinted at Andrade's position behind him, and only slightly adjusted the outer instep of his right foot. The left leg facing the ground allowed him to dodge half a body distance to the right. Morientes didn't see much movement, and the Spaniard rubbed the inside of his foot towards the far goal while his body was still leaning.

Fortunately, Baia noticed something was wrong the moment Guti quickly kicked the through pass. While roaring to make Andrade and Carvalho concentrate, the Porto goalkeeper started to follow Morientes' movement. Moving ahead of time, the Spanish forward's right-footed shot didn't exert much force, but the angle was extremely tricky.

Baia, who found that he didn't hit the close corner, jumped to the left quickly. His well-developed leg muscles even made a small hole in the grass with his right foot. Barely reaching the spinning ball, under the influence of the leather surface of the glove, Morientes' rubbing shot will hit the outside of the goalpost, and it bounces out with a bang, and Carvalho, who was rushed to the sideline in a hurry Feet twitched.
