Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 144 The future belongs to young people ([-])

With the urging of the coach Boloni on the side, the Sporting Lisbon players quickly organized an offensive, and it was still Paulo Bento who held the ground and pushed forward. Because of the lack of a top midfielder in the true sense, the Green Lions could only rely on the strength of the old captain. Passing the ball to control the rhythm of the attack, the ball was quickly passed to Porto's half.

Pedro Barbosa, who is physically fit, holds the ball and advances. Young is very smart not to fight hard with him, but chooses to block the opponent's forward line with Candido Costa. Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt trio Except for Kutuzov, there is no physical advantage, and they rarely choose to handle the ball with their backs.

As Young expected, he and Clayton and Candido Costa's retreats slowed down Sporting Lisbon's advance to the greatest extent in the first place, and Pedro Barbosa and Custodio repeatedly crossed After dawdling for a while, he found a chance to pass the ball to Quaresma on the right.

The greatest advantage of the young man is the fearless momentum. Quaresma led the ball from his teammate with his right foot, quickly glanced at the several defenders in front of him, and then started to speed up along the sideline, and he Counterpoint is Nuno Valente.

The 28-year-old Portuguese left-back got his first chance to play for the national team in September last year. He can be regarded as a late bloomer. He won the trust of Mourinho as soon as he came to Porto and replaced Mario Schier. Wa got the starting position of the first team. His height of 1.8 meters makes him rarely suffer even when he encounters different types of opponents, such as Quaresma in front of him.

The young Sporting Lisbon right winger tried his best, shoulders swaying and made countless small rhythm changes, and the ball bounced back and forth at his feet. Quaresma saw that Nuno Valente was indifferent He moved, gritted his teeth and picked the ball to the left, and jumped up to the right to try to pass the ball.

Nuno Valente's turn around on the spot was much faster than he imagined. The Porto left-back had stayed in Sporting Lisbon, and his hard work in the middle and lower teams such as Portimao, Maritimo and Leiria also made him Having accumulated a lot of experience in defense, Valente's right foot slightly behind him played an extremely important role, but with a twist of his left leg, he turned to the right and stuck to Quarre, who was about to jump over. Smart chased the ball in the direction where it popped out.

With a distance of five or six steps, no matter how fast Quaresma started, he still couldn't get rid of Nunovalente who was sticking to him. Porto's left back still used experience to eliminate the danger invisible. Quaresma Before he had time to stretch his legs, Valente, who grabbed the position first, kicked the ball out.

But Kostinia, who was pressing on this side, failed to stop the ball. Custodio, who caught up, took the second point, and the retreated Belarusian center Kutuzov was used as a transition point, and the ball was passed to the At the feet of Cristiano on the left, the 17-year-old started much faster than Quaresma, but as soon as he received the ball, he rushed to Porto's right side ribs.

Thiago Moreira couldn't keep up with his speed at the first time. This kid looks thin, but he seems to have a lot of energy in his body. When he sprints with the ball, he jumps and jumps. The right back Paulo Ferreira saw that the opponent had increased his speed, and knew that he could not stick to it without turning around, so he simply shoveled down the line of the ball against this little guy.

Paulo Ferreira calculated the rhythm of the opponent's dribbling, and Cristiano also figured out his intention. At the moment when the Porto right back lowered his center of gravity and put the tackle on the ground, the left winger of Sporting Lisbon lightly picked the ball up. In the middle of the air, he jumped up to avoid Ferreira's rapidly approaching legs. The ball only bounced on the ground, and then he wrapped it back under his feet.

Cristiano rushed into the right side of Porto's penalty area in a flash. Kutuzov, who had just reached the parallel position, raised his arm to signal a cross to him, but the owner of the No. 28 jersey seemed to have never seen it. The ball went to Pedro Emmanuel again.

Porto's right central defender stood still, intending to use his body to suppress this extremely young opponent in a small space. The ball was handed left and right in front of Cristiano at high speed. Before he rushed to him, Emmanuel was caught Shaking so much that he almost lost his center of gravity, in order to stabilize his body, he had no choice but to hold down his footsteps to follow the opponent's adjustment.

Seeing Emmanuel's stature, Cristiano returned the ball to his right foot and took two steps horizontally in the penalty area. In front of him was Vitor Baia who was bluffing. Jorge Costa When defending against Kutuzov, it was found that this young boy seemed to have no desire to pass the ball at all. At this moment, he saw that Emmanuel had been swayed from his position, and he could only fall sideways to the penalty spot. Go down, hoping to block the angle of the opponent's shot with your body.

Costa's quick pull over to fill the block did affect Cristiano's shot. After adjusting two steps, he had lost the space to distribute the ball to the side, so he had to take a shot at the narrow space that Costa vacated. foot.With Pedro Emmanuel and Jorge Costa on the right, Baia focused his attention on the left side of goal.

Seeing that the opponent was aiming at the dead corner, he kicked his legs hard on the turf, and he flew to the left. Baia's arms sealed the inside of the goal post, but the ball turned out of the way, and directly deviated from the goalpost. The goal flew out of the baseline, and Cristiano looked at his right foot. He just tilted the angle of his instep slightly in order to exert force. He didn't expect to hit the goal so much worse.

The little guy kicked the turf angrily, stretched his right hand into his drenched black hair and stirred it twice, then walked back with his mouth curled and his head shaken, Kutuzov complained to him in jerky Portuguese , Cristiano didn't pay much attention to it, he just shared his hands with the teammates who came over, indicating that he was a little impatient just now.

Cristiano's performance of three players in a row made Porto's coaching staff terrified for a while. It was not long before the end of the game. The players of Sporting Lisbon could still sprint like this. Fortunately, Mourinho replaced Thiago After Moreira, the team's lineup moved back a bit. If this substitution adjustment had not been made, it would have been absolutely too late for Deco and Yang to return to the defense. At that time, the single midfielder Costinia would have to Take on more stress.

Vitor Baia didn't make a big kick, and Porto began to pass the ball in the midfield very safely. Even if the ball came to Young's feet, he didn't take the ball to lead the offense rashly, but distributed the ball to Clayton On the left side, because Sapinto has no physical strength to come up and grab, this is the safest area on the field.
