Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 83: Battle in Porto ([-])

When Mourinho led the team to the Asantas Stadium, the starting lineups of the two teams were placed in front of the coaches of both sides. Mourinho sat on a chair with his brows furrowed. Surpassing the other two Portuguese giants, even if several main players in the midfield were injured and missed the game, they still have a terrible card to crush Leiria.

"Porto's formation is still the usual 4-3-3 in the league. This is correct in our estimation, and there is no mistake in the intelligence. Portugal's No. 30 national goalkeeper Baia is sitting on the bench, and the starting goalkeeper is Paul Santos, who has just turned 1.8. He came all the way from a small club, and his goal line skills are excellent, but he is only [-] meters tall, and we can take advantage of this.

Right back Secretario, left back Ricardo Silva, central back partner is Hugo Ibarra and Jorge Andrade, if there is any flaw in Porto due to injury, it is Iba Pulled, the Argentine may give us a chance to play as a central defender this time. He is only 1.7 meters five, and the high point in the penalty area is not enough.

Slovenian international Pavlin and Paraguay international Carlos Paredes are paired with a double defensive midfielder. The defensive ability of these two is terrifying. In front of them is Porto's No. [-] captain Deco. I will not repeat his ability. If he cannot be restrained in the midfield, Leiria's defense is likely to be easily torn by Deco.

Postiga in the front is a typical Portuguese striker. Although he is young, he is well-balanced in all aspects and is good at grasping every tiny opportunity. On the wings are Candido Costa and Nuno Capucho, Absolutely fast horses on the wing. From this point of view, Porto's remnant formation is still composed of many international players. "

Seeing that the team members were a little depressed, Mourinho stood up abruptly, pointed at the door of the visiting team's locker room and shouted: "Porto has been dragged down by injuries to such an extent, can't Leiria have the idea of ​​being able to replace him?" ?Don't be intimidated by the halo on the head of the opponent's player, we are the most feared dark horse in the league, what we lack now is the opportunity to defeat the giants and establish our status!

As long as we win this game, Porto will be dragged from the third place in the league, every time I think about it, my blood boils, Leiria will get the club with the efforts of all of us An unimaginable achievement.Marovic, you are the old man of the team, Lothar, you too, have you ever thought that Leiria can rush to No.3 in the league? "

Marovic gritted his teeth and stood up, smashing the Leiria team logo on his left chest with his fist, his temples were so excited: "Coach Jose said that he wants good results, and the young people in the team want to To have a good future, Mr. Chairman and the directors want more transfer fees. Everyone has what they want, but I, Marovic, is already thirty. Even if I transfer to a wealthy family, I can’t move around in Europe. game.

For so many years, my home has been in Leiria. I have a beautiful wife and daughter. I am reluctant to go to other places. I have a wish. When I am old and bring my children and grandchildren to visit the club, Leiria Ya's honorary player commemorative plaque, can have my name Marovic!I want to win this game! "

"Take them!"

"Get rid of Porto!"

...

The mood of the Leiria team has risen, and everyone's eyes are on Mourinho who is going to the tactical board, waiting for the coach to point out a way for them, a way for Leiria to beat Porto.

"Our formation will not change. The diamond midfielder is the only weapon that can effectively restrain Porto's creativity. Marovic, your task is very important. What you have to mark is Deco. His ability to get rid of and distribute the ball is extremely strong. A pair One is likely to not take advantage of the slightest advantage, so Thiago and Pena must always be ready to defend.

Patrick and Briggs, you need to watch out for Porto crossing the halfway pass when they combine, they are very good at this pattern, throwing the ball behind you to disrupt your defensive rhythm, so be careful while marking Postiga stand.

Young's position should also be properly withdrawn. Try to avoid direct dialogue with Porto's double midfielders when attacking in the first half. They play freely in the frontcourt.

Leiria currently has two major advantages. One is physical fitness. Porto has lost a lot of energy by the Champions League and the Portuguese Cup. Many main players need to face the dilemma of fighting on the third line. It is the end of the battle, and it is very likely that hidden dangers in physical fitness will explode in the second half.

The second is their guest central defender Ibarra. I have emphasized once before that if Paltrow can deliver the ball to Porto's penalty area, Paltrow will gain a great advantage when facing Ibarra. Del Rey, who is considered tall, can also suppress him. Porto has no substitute in the central defender position. If we can penetrate this point, we can win this game! "

Mourinho could not have said it more clearly, Leiria must do a good job of defending seriously and survive the most difficult first half in order to survive until Porto may have problems, the opportunity lies there, victory and Failure is also on the line.

The time is almost up, Mourinho is staring at the watch on his left wrist, the imperceptible sound of the pointer bouncing seems to have turned into a rapid drumbeat in his ears, Asianta has faintly heard outside the locker room door The sound of the stadium was like waves, like horns sounding at the front of the battle. If Leiria wanted to win against the eleven players on the field, he had to win at the same time over the more than [-] Porto fans who besieged the city.

When Mourinho walked out of the player tunnel, he looked around as usual. The attendance rate of the Asantas Stadium was quite high today. Except for the stands occupied by thousands of Leiria loyalists, the stadium has completely become a crowd. Blue and white ocean, fans will not miss this direct dialogue between No. 4 and No. [-] in the league.

He quickly turned his attention to the Porto coach coming from the side. Octavio had a humble and kind smile on his face, but Mourinho saw the belief in the victory buried deep in the opponent.

This is very good, you have to defend the dignity of the giants, I want to get back the glory that belongs to me, this is the battle I want.

Mourinho didn't notice the best stand box at the Asantas Stadium behind him, where Pinto da Costa was sitting, and the chairman of Porto was not only supervising the battle on the spot, but also inspecting this cutting-edge figure in Leiria , He wants to use his team as a benchmark, and try Mourinho, a piece of gold that has already shone brightly.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Porto kicked off the ball first. Under Deco's command, the three strikers had already rushed towards Leiria's half.

Marovic soon met Deco, he was extremely excited now, his body's vitality had been fully mobilized, and his attention was always on the movements of Deco's feet.In the direct dialogue between the two captains, he must not lose. If Deco had asked for anything in his own half at the beginning, Leiria's momentum would have been greatly hit.

Deco seems to be completely indifferent to Marovic's ferocious expression. He has seen too much and wants to intimidate his opponents with his fierce appearance. This midfielder born in Brazil has integrated the football of the two countries in his career for many years. His style has long adapted to the rhythm of the Portuguese League.

The 24-year-old Deco, at this golden age when his skills and body are maturing, is not afraid to show his extraordinary talent in front of any opponent. This is Deco's fifth year in Porto. Have unlimited self-confidence.

Deco now has only one goal. From the first day he left Brazil and went to Portugal, he knew that the star-studded Brazilian national team would not have his place. Finding a way out is why Deco is still reluctant to leave Porto after being invited by other European clubs. He has the idea of ​​joining the Portuguese national team.

Leiria's defense is indeed monolithic. No matter how Postiga and others move in the backcourt, they can still maintain a small-scale numerical advantage. But if it is purely defensive, mistakes will inevitably occur on the ever-changing field .

The combination of Marovic and Pena caught Deco one after the other, but the Brazilian did not panic at all. He turned around to protect the ball and flashed past Pena's left hand, and then his right foot was in front of the ball. After shaking it twice, he pretended to pass to Postiga who was returning.

The moment Marovic's muscles tensed up to meet him, the Brazilian hooked his right foot to the left, and then turned his left foot back. Marovic's center of gravity was already unstable. Deco lightly wiped his right foot, stabbed his left foot, and the ball pierced his crotch. At the same time, he had passed between the two of them, and then ran wildly with the ball. He rushed to the outside of Leiria's penalty area only by virtue of his personal ability.

Marovic chased back desperately, watching Postiga and others press in front of the goal, he knew that if he didn't do anything, the defense line that didn't have an advantage in numbers might be exposed, so Marovic took advantage of the speed of sprinting, A little anxiously shoveled from the side and rear, even if it was a foul, he had to keep the ball here!
At that moment, Deco looked like he had eyes behind his back. He quickly stepped on the brake with his left leg, and the instep of his right foot slammed backwards. As his body jumped, Marovic slid past the front. At this time, the arc of the penalty area was already With no other defenders in his way anymore, Postiga swerved and ran into the space between the two central defenders, waving him for the ball.

Everyone thought that Deco would pass a through ball through the defense line like before, but the Brazilian who hit the penalty area line abruptly kicked his feet directly, and Deco stretched his arms and swung his right leg. A big bird spread its wings, and the instantly tightened strong muscles bulged out several steel-like lines on his thighs, and the ball drew a curve with a great radian, which played a great role in deceiving the goalkeeper .

Loza lost a lot of attention because of Postiga's slanting running. When he focused on looking back, the ball had already flown half the distance. But even if he made a full-body save, his fingertips still couldn't reach Deco's cold shot.

The ball was extremely fast and the angle was extremely tricky. The ball almost spun in from the dead corner of the goal post. Lothar fell down when he was half a meter away from the ball. For this kind of fairy-like long-range shot, even standing here The most important thing is the Portuguese national goalkeeper Baia, or Buffon who transferred to Juventus for 5410 million euros. If he did not make an early move with anticipation, he would still be powerless at this moment.

1:0, Porto took the lead at home, and the game only lasted twelve minutes.
