Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 117 The Twin Stars Shine at the Bernabéu ([-])
The difference from the last counterattack is that after communicating with his teammates, Postiga gradually retreated behind Elguera. Capucho, who had been active on the left, came to the center position. is passive.

The older captain Hierro is slow to move, usually in the penalty area to command changes in defensive levels and defend high-altitude balls. As the last anchor on the defense line, he must not be pulled out of the penalty area by Postiga. There is no card After Los was protected on the flank, Karanka, who served as the left center back, could not leave his position.

Real Madrid's five defensive players were visibly stretched into two lines after Salgado's forward defense due to Capucho's change of position. The oppressive force with speed and dexterity brought to the extreme, if the double midfielders still can't stop the opponent, Real Madrid's defense line is likely to be penetrated again.

Before encountering Makelele, Deco, who was advancing with the ball, once again distributed the ball to Young, who was interspersed with a running position in front of the left, but this time Elguera was smart. He took the initiative to change positions with Salgado, Being a central defender, it's not difficult to keep an eye on Postiga who wears the No. 41 jersey. It's better to let the fierce full-back deal with this kid who is more slippery than a loach.

As soon as Salgado approached, Young felt a lot of pressure. This strong blond full-back seemed to be very sensitive to the defense of changing directions. He made several fake moves by changing the rhythm of his feet and tilting his upper body to shift his center of gravity. None of them could fool this person, and Salgado was fast enough to keep up with him.

Mourinho mentioned at the tactical analysis meeting that Salgado first debuted as a winger in Vigo Celta. After being arranged by his mentor Carlos Santos to transform into a defender, his fast speed and precise positioning began to show. Come out, but what makes the man most famous is not his rapid rise to strength, but the tackle against Atletico Madrid.

Juninho, who played for the Sheets at that time, was considered to be the most creative player in Brazil's midfield, but it was this genius who emerged in the America's Cup and was expected by the Brazilian people to shine in the 1998 World Cup In the field, Salgado broke his ankle with a fierce shovel. Because of this record, Mourinho reminded all Porto players to be more careful when facing Salgado.

Real Madrid's right back followed Young all the way, and was always stuck on the left hand side of the boy, preventing him from connecting with Postiga. When Deco tried to overtake Makelele to meet here, Salgado also Discovering the intention of Porto's attacking midfielder, in order to avoid nights and dreams, he saw the right time and shoveled the ball from behind diagonally at the moment Yang moved forward.

If it weren't for remembering what Mourinho said before, Young might really be knocked down by Salgado's sudden shovel. The moment he lowered his center of gravity, Young noticed that Salgado Gadot's idea, stepping on the ball with the toe of his right foot and stepping back a little, his whole body dodged to the right side, trying to avoid the fierce move of the Real Madrid right back.

Although the ball was caught by Deco who was rushing in from behind, Young still didn't judge the angle and strength of Salgado's shovel. The leg hooked, and he stumbled violently. Yang rolled on the ground two or three times before he lost his forward momentum, and almost fell headlong.

The referee noticed Salgado's dangerous move, but since the ball was still on Porto's side, he raised his arms to signal the game to continue. Deco shook his head from side to side trying to find a point where he could score the ball. Jan was still dizzy Almost fell to the ground, Alenichev was also stopped by Carlos who returned to the defense with terrifying speed, and behind him was Makelele who was waiting for an opportunity. Porto's counterattack seemed to be at a deadlock.

Makelele's sudden speed-up made Deco, who was a little distracted, break out in a cold sweat. The Brazilian turned and pulled back to let the opponent's outstretched right leg pass, but in this way, the counterattack that could have been speeded up and completed It turned into a positional battle. Seeing that all the Real Madrid players were basically in position, Deco knew that he had to make a choice at this time.

If the goal that cannot attack Real Madrid is still intercepted in this dangerous position, it will be difficult for Porto's frontcourt players to make a return defense. At this time, the White Army's counterattack will be fatal, and Porto can only be forced to swallow the chicken. The bitter fruit of eclipsing the rice.

Even if the offense fails, at least it will cause a dead ball. Deco, who wants to know what he should do, moves his feet, swaying left and right, trying to find a breakthrough space from Makelele. The French's calm personality has the upper hand. The two When they were face to face, he no longer took the initiative to stretch his feet.

Deco, who was a little anxious in his heart, moved his right foot back and forth on both sides of the ball. After seeing Makelele's body also have a slight change in the center of gravity, the Brazilian quickly handed the ball to his left foot, and then pretended to play the ball At the moment, he suddenly buckled, took a step with the instep of his right foot, and dodged half a body to the left of Makelele, and then Deco took advantage of this space to swing his right leg, circled an arc, and went directly to ambush in the penalty area capucho.

The Portuguese veteran is less than 1.8 meters [-] Hierro, the captain of Real Madrid has almost absolute air supremacy in the penalty area, but Deco's oblique long pass is very tricky, until the end of the arc, there is still no obvious drop, and the ball is very fast. The rotation made it difficult for Hierro to grasp the point of focus.

The captain of Real Madrid, who jumped forward and planned to head the ball directly, made a huge mistake. When the ball slanted across the penalty area, his forehead did not get enough strength. Capucho seized this opportunity, and the position Slightly back, he jumped high and managed to find the ball without much change of direction.

But Hierro also more or less made some impact on the ball. Capucho, who was overjoyed, also failed to correct his position. His position was close to the back point. This header directly hit the post. , flew past Casillas, who was flying sideways, and bounced back to the middle of the penalty area.

At this time, Postiga just arrived, and Erguera and the young Portuguese striker stretched out their legs at the same time. They both wanted to poke the ball back, and the right feet of the two struggled to reach out almost at the same time The ball, but Postiga, who rushed forward with more momentum, took the lead slightly. Although his movements were a bit awkward, he still completed the goal.

Casillas, who was also young, showed his amazing instant response and second save ability. The moment the ball bounced off the right post, he turned over and jumped to the left. Tiga's stabbing angle was not perfect, and this off-center shot was bravely blocked by Cassie who flew back to the left post.
