Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 139 Young Challenger ([-])
Boloni's lineup did not exceed Villas-Boas's predictions. It was still a mix of veterans and young people headed by Paul Bento and others. Sapinto was on the right and Quaresma was on the left. This combination seems to have a good impact .

At the Alvalade Stadium, tens of thousands of Sporting Lisbon fans found that Mourinho walked to the coach's bench alone and sat down before the players and referees entered the field. The guy responded with an extremely "enthusiastic" boo. Mourinho, who was sitting there meditating with his chin resting on his shoulders, was abruptly dragged out of his trance by the booing and scolding. Erlang legs began to close his eyes to rest his mind, Mourinho has long been used to such a formation.

Sporting Lisbon tried to take advantage of the home court advantage to give Porto a bad start, but Mourinho has used the diamond-shaped four midfielders that Mourinho has used very skillfully to quickly stabilize the situation, especially when catching Quaresma, who is fancy but not calm enough After the point, Porto played several effective counterattacks on the right side of their side, all of which threatened Sporting Lisbon's goal.

But the older and more demonic Paulo Bento did play a role in pacifying the sea. Mourinho also remembered this midfielder who caused him a lot of trouble. Under his command, Sporting Lisbon's midfielders began to shrink. The defense directly blocked the line for Young and Deco to break forward and distribute the ball.

The Alvalade Stadium saw that the home team was beaten by Porto and could only shrink back and dare not even fight back. They booed the Romanian coach Boloni standing in the command area. They only saw that Sporting Lisbon was motivated by Weak, but Boloni knows what kind of pressure his disciples are enduring on the field. The Green Lion's defense has been pushed to the limit. Perhaps as long as there is a small mistake, Sporting Lisbon will collapse instantly.

It’s not that Mourinho didn’t see that Porto’s offense fell into a quagmire after the opponent’s full recovery. He also knows that breaking the dense defense is a difficult problem for every team. On the one hand, the Porto coach wants to further observe the weaknesses in Sporting Lisbon’s defense. , On the other hand, I also want to see if Deco and Yang can use their creativity to open up the situation.

But the three midfielders that Boloni arranged are now all hoarded in their own half. The two teams are crowded here with six or seven players. It is like an epic traffic jam. No matter how Deco and Young are there , and failed to earn a bright road for Porto, the stalemate continued until the end of the first half, Porto besieged for nearly 10 minutes but failed to score, and Sporting Lisbon's defenders also growled when they heard the referee's whistle Take a breath.

"Sporting Lisbon has piled up all the personnel in the middle. If we put more troops in, it will only waste energy in the chaos. If there are too many people, we will not be able to achieve the best effect on the first point or the second point. , the ball will change hands repeatedly, Jose, we need to solve this problem in the second half." Boas stood next to the tactical board, frowning and said.

"There is no need to worry so much. Our offensive end is not a big problem, but it is true that we can't concentrate all our personnel in the middle. We need to attack the wing more and press Sporting Lisbon's defense deeper. Maniche, although I really don't want to say this, but judging from the current situation, Porto does not need you to support the defense in the midfield position. The most important thing now is to open the sideways.

Candido Costa, you replaced Maniche in the second half and went to the right wing position. At the same time, Del Rey also moved from the shadow forward position to the left winger. I observed that Sporting Lisbon's right back Quiroga seems to be injured. Regardless of whether Boloni makes adjustments or not, you have to hit this point and force both of their full-backs back. "

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. It didn't take long. The Argentine defender Queiroga, who was highlighted by Mourinho, was injured and fell to the ground without confrontation. Due to helplessness, the coach Boloni had to let Sapinto play right back. Only his speed and body can play this position on the field.

Replacing the injured Queiroga was the little guy named Cristiano Ronaldo. Mourinho looked at this young player with a thin body. He was wearing the No. 28 jersey, which also proved that he was in the first team. The time was not long enough. The youthful look of Cristiano when he ran into the field made Mourinho smile knowingly. He thought of Jan, who was also like a baby bird in Leiria, but the boy now He is already a "veteran" with two seasons of experience.

Quaresma and Cristiano, who switched to the right winger, did cause some trouble for Porto with their extraordinary speed and dexterity, but Paulo Ferreira and Nuno Valente, who were in charge of guarding the two wings, were not fuel-efficient. Boas had already given them a small lesson before the game.

Now that the two knew the tricks used by the young Sporting Lisbon teenagers, and after two tricks on the field, the full-back, who was at the peak of his career, taught the little guys a lesson. With Cristiano's feet shaking, they just can't take a step, and with Costinia's defense, the Green Lion teenager who is extremely disadvantaged physically has suffered a lot, and the green and white striped jersey is almost covered with grass juice And the soil was dyed pure green.

Sporting Lisbon's counterattack, which barely cheered up, failed, and it was Porto's turn to surround them again under the command of Mourinho. Del Rey heard the coach's shout and began to ask his teammates for the ball to attack the right back. On the other side of Sapinto, in ten minutes, he can be said to be seven in and seven out in this area. The 30-year-old Sporting Lisbon veteran was panting like a bellows after being tossed by Del Rey, and he seemed to be unable to hold on. up.

Mourinho also rented Sapinto’s house when he was in Lisbon, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. Watching Pinto struggle with Del Rey on the wing, exhausted, Porto’s coach, too The ex-tenant began to come up with bad ideas, and he leaned forward and said to Pinto who was about to pick up a throw-in:
"Sa, let me ask you, are you tired now?"

"Isn't this nonsense, you don't know how to read it? What Delray has been doing things here, can you switch him to the other side, I'm very annoyed."

"Okay, I'm about to change it too, Del Rey's running speed has slowed down right now, wait a minute, I'll let Clayton on the bench warm up, he has enough strength Now, my eyes are all red."

Pinto's hand wiping the ball with his jersey shook violently, almost throwing the ball away. He looked back at Mourinho who turned around and went to the bench, and shouted in despair: "Jose, do you want to go to the bench?" Take my life~"

"No, no, I don't want your life, Sa, we are good friends, I just want the life of Sporting Lisbon!"
