Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 114 Gemini shines at the Bernabéu ([-])

After re-opening the ball, in order to paralyze the opponent, Porto began to attack the left flank, and the ball was handed over to Young and Capuccio who retreated. Both of them are getting familiar with the Real Madrid players who are facing them as soon as possible. Young's feeling is the most direct. He faced Elguera and Makelele almost did not give the young man a chance to lead the offense with the ball.

Because they are not familiar with Young's technical style, Real Madrid's double defensive midfielders directly adopted a pinching defensive method. Their cautiousness caused Young to suffer a lot. Within three to five minutes of Porto's counterattack, as long as the ball was at the boy's feet, He will be surrounded by at least two defenders.

After being overturned five times in the confrontation and being repeatedly tackled by Elguera, Young finally understood Deco's difficulties in the first half.Indeed, as Mourinho said, if the ball stays under his feet for more than two seconds, all the forward lines of the ball will be blocked, followed by a purely physical fight. Young is not as old-fashioned as Zidane. With experience in protecting the ball and a strong physique, he can only be locked up again and again in the frontcourt.

Salgado's attack made Capuccio also under siege. The 30-year-old Portuguese winger made mistakes again and again, and the ball was cut off neatly at his feet. Under the command of Figo, the formation was compressed due to Porto's attack Quickly unfolded, Real Madrid once again found a chance to fight back.

However, Porto's defense, which had a respite, also stabilized the mood. Costinha began to squeeze Zidane's range of activities more aggressively than in the first half. The Frenchman, he leaned on Costinha and only slightly deflected his body before pumping the ball directly to the goal.

This kind of goal with a distance of more than 30 meters is not a big threat to Baia. The Porto goalkeeper easily squatted down and hugged the ball firmly, and then threw it to the left back Mario Xi who was empty. Elva.

Seeing the futility of the long-range shot, Zidane turned around and spread his hands at Figo, signaling the Portuguese to get closer to him. In this high-pressure pressing environment, he could not send high-quality passes at all. Passing also requires teammates to bring the distance closer.

Figo, who waited in the middle and didn't wait for the pass, was also a little depressed. The Frenchman didn't move to the right in time, and attracted too many defenders. As a result, his running when changing positions was all in vain. Figo I raised my hand to express my apology. Everyone is dual-core. Whoever has the opportunity will come by himself. There is no reason to deliberately match green leaves with red flowers.

Next, the possession of the ball changed hands many times in the midfield position. This time, Zidane withdrew to the center and Figo was in front. What annoyed the Real Madrid strikers was that the two superstars still failed to switch positions. Passing the ball to the frontcourt, this time not only Costinia defended Figo to death, but Real Madrid's No. [-] tried his best to pass the ball back and was directly blocked by Ricardo Carvalho who went around and went out of the sideline.

This can no longer be explained by chance. The continuous inability to play the ball in the frontcourt shows that Porto's defensive players seem to have found the knack of cooperation. With Carvalho, a shit-sticker who specializes in intercepting dual-core connections, it is just a matter of The effect of Dane and Figo filling the opponent's backcourt is gradually weakening.

After the two communicated with Bosque with gestures, they called Guti back from the front line. They needed this swing player who is good at running to help them tear through Porto's defense. Rinho guessed it early, and the opponent's players were also looking forward to this scene.

Guti has just retreated to the left midfield position, and Porto's formation has also changed quietly. Yang La is in front of Costinha and Carvalho, and Deco has already set his sights and doesn't know anything. Guti.

When Real Madrid reorganized the offense, whether it was the Porto players on the field or the assistants who had heard the coach explain the tactics in the locker room, they couldn't help but praise Mourinho in their hearts.

In order to ensure enough space for passing and running, both Zidane and Figo leaned a little distance to the right, leaving a huge space on the left side. This is the area they left for Guti to play, and it is also Mourinho The planned implementation site of the "Wolf Cut Tactic".

When Zidane failed to get rid of Costinha and was blocked by Young and Carvalho, the Frenchman turned around and pulled the ball decisively, and knocked it out across the gap on the left hand side. Guti, who rushed over to catch the ball, was overjoyed. He saw the running position of Morientes in front of him, and when he passed the ball with his right foot, he was about to send a through ball in his best way.

Young, who was still cruising behind Zidane, suddenly turned around and rushed towards Real Madrid No. 14. The boy's momentum was extremely violent, and he jumped to the line where he and Morientes could be connected after taking only a few steps with his legs. Guti, who had lost his best chance to pass through, stopped the ball and immediately turned around, intending to stabilize and seek cooperation with Figo who was plugging in on the right.

But the moment he turned around, Deco, who was lying in ambush on the left, saw the opportunity, stretched out his left leg and caught Guti's waist and hips, and then walked along the opponent's instep with his right foot as agreed. To the ball behind him, Guti never expected that Porto's pressing target was always himself. He staggered a few steps and barely maintained his balance, but Young and Deco had already rushed towards Real Madrid's half with the ball.

Makelele, who was in the front position, immediately met Deco. In his opinion, this Brazilian loves to stick to the ball and is too confident in his dribbling skills. through the area with ease.

Although he wanted to compete with Zidane and Figo, the Brazilian kept a little calm while being passionate. Deco knew that the "wolf-killing tactic" might be used by the opponent after a few times. Seeing through, he didn't want to waste any chance, so before Makelele stood still and was ready to grab, he nudged the ball with his arch and stuffed it to Young who was running in front left.

Elguera's technical style is much more violent than that of his partner. After trying to break through and being suppressed by him directly with his body, Yang knew that he could not get close to this guy who is good at fighting, so the moment he received a pass from Deco, he With his left foot sideways again, he flashed past Elguera who was approaching from the middle, and rushed towards the right side of Real Madrid.

Deco was almost dumbfounded. His intention for Jan was to play a two-for-one cooperation, so that he could quickly pass through the area guarded by Makelele, but the young man was running farther and farther. But there is nothing that can meet his point, and it will be a dead end in the end.

Even Mourinho, who was watching nervously from the sidelines, was also confused. He clearly told the young man to play the ball resolutely, and he must not recklessly choose to go it alone in the backcourt of Real Madrid, but Yang looked sullen and rushed to the left It was as if someone had sounded the charge behind him, and had no intention of stopping unless he hit a wall.
