Midfielder.

Chapter 57
"This... why do I feel that this list seems to make me go to the back kitchen of a restaurant, what is it all about... Are all Greeks born to be Chetuner players? Why do parents love it so much when they named it? Use what kind of wire."

"Is this a tactic to confuse others? If the opponent's coach assigns a marking task, it will take more than half of the time just to call the name!"

When Lin Yi took the list of Panathinaikos players, his mind went blank, because there seemed to be only two players in the team whose names didn't have anything behind them, and they were all foreign players, as long as they were Greeks. , his name must be entangled with all kinds of threads.

"I didn't ask you to mark anyone one-on-one, so you don't have to memorize the ghost names of these people. The task I gave you is actually very simple."

"In this area, if you can lead, you can pass, and if you can pass, you can pass. In this game, I don't ask you how fast you can play the ball. When you can't use the pass to tear the opponent's defense, I need you to use the pass. Look for the ball, and you can even be selfish on offense."

"I need you to use your dexterous dribbling to find scoring opportunities in this area. If you can break through, that is the best. If not, I need you to understand what you should do. What the team needs now is to find knockout opportunities. The easiest way to open the opponent's line of defense."

Mourinho pointed to the area he drew on the blackboard and said to Lin Yi. Lin Yi saw that the position drawn by the uncle was within ten meters of the top of the opponent's penalty area. According to Mourinho Yes, in this area, he can move freely and decide everything by himself.

"I give you absolute freedom, but I need you to disrupt their defense in front of the opponent's penalty area. Even if you can't break through, you need to win a free kick in the best position. Remember, when we are head-to-head with these Greeks, directly A free kick would be one of our best options."

"Of course, if you can pass their entire defense like Maradona, I don't mind. I expect such a miracle to happen every day."

This is the task that Mourinho assigned to Lin Yi. He found the best executor to get free kicks under the reminder of Dalley's complaining voice, because he believed that no one in the Greek team could limit this. A little guy like a loach.

"We must let the opponent give up the idea of ​​​​defending and let them attack. Only by pulling them out of the dense defense in the half can we have a chance to win the game. I think you should be the key to solving these big guys. I need you to poke a hole in their defense."

Mourinho's words made Lin Yi feel the importance of himself in this game, but this task is nothing, because when playing football on the street, Lin Yi will always run into people who are stronger than himself, He had already learned how to deal with it all.

It's just that this time the opponent will be more professional, but compared with a group of big men over 1 meters tall, Lin Yi's grinning mouth has already betrayed his thoughts, at least he won't think that he There is no special difficulty in getting past those people.

What's more, now he doesn't necessarily have to use dribbling to get any fatal chances. As long as these people are confused, then his task will be completed, causing fouls, as long as he can get the ball smoothly in front of these guys, everything will be fine. It's all easy to handle.

If those people want to defend themselves, then they will pay a certain price, just like what Mourinho explained, if they don't want to foul and take Lin Yi, even this little guy himself will not allow such a thing to happen.

Four days is enough time for these Porto players who are already familiar with each other to adapt to Mourinho's new arrangement. Lin Yi, who has just returned to the team, seemed excited during training, which forced Mourinho to remind this kid , Keep your competitive state good.

Don't get overly excited in practice and slump in games, save the best for the Greeks.

Before the game against Panathinaikos, Mourinho lined up Porto's sharpest lineup. He gave up the four defenders of the previous game and instead hoarded 5 in the midfield. personal.

Instead of competing with the opponent's high center for space in the penalty area, it is better to set up two blockades in the midfield to keep these Greeks as far away from the Porto team's penalty area as possible. It is always better to stifle the offense than passive defense.

The disadvantage of height is a loophole in Porto's defense, but pushing the opponent's forwards out of the penalty area, as long as their headers do not directly threaten the goal guarded by Baia, everything will be easy to handle.

Mourinho moved Maniche's position to the midfielder, allowing him and Costinha to guard Porto's only midfielder at the same time. Alenichev and Deco provided help behind Lin Yi, and Darley And Kapushu's offense tries to use a wide range of running to tear apart the opponent's central defender's defense.

Now Mourinho is putting Lin Yi at the forefront and letting him find opportunities by himself, even if he intentionally creates fouls.

And Maniche, the mad dog, is trying to entangle the opponent's organizer in the midfield and not give them a chance to overdo it in the midfield. Either you make a long pass directly in the backcourt, or you slow down the pace of attack, thinking Organize the attack?It's best to give up this naive idea.

He does not give up the threat of wing attack, but Mourinho requires his players not to go down to the bottom, but to make a fuss about the opponent's rib defense area, frequent interspersed running, and the striker and central midfielder. To switch positions with each other, we must deal with these Greeks in a flexible and changeable way.

Use fast ground penetration to find opportunities, and use a flexible mind to fight against a strong body. The Porto team must teach these Greeks a lesson and tell them what it means to use technology to determine everything. Don't expect to be able to rely on strength in the Dragon Stadium. His body pierced through Porto's defense.

As Lin Yi promised to Mourinho before the game, he also did this in the game, but those unlucky Greeks are still wondering where this kid who never appeared in the last game jumped from When he came out, Lin Yi had already activated it right under their noses.

Maybe Panathinaikos' Uruguay coach Makarian hasn't remembered who the little guy who once made the Turks miserable, but he will soon find out that Porto is not the team it was a week ago , they are stronger.

However, the Porto team did not suppress the opponent's desperate attack in the opening stage. They just moved forward steadily and did not appear impatient, as if they were not the ones behind now, but the Panathinaikos team.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, Panathinaikos' Uruguayan coach Makarian hadn't felt how fierce those Porto players were. He even wondered if his tactical arrangement was too conservative. After all, 8 people were left behind. The backcourt defense seemed a bit crowded anyway.

Moreover, his attack in the frontcourt was not smooth because of the lack of support from the midfielder. Even if the tall forward line could win the first place to pass the ball in the backcourt, it would be difficult to control the football. Maniche and Kos Tina's double midfielder protection made Porto's defense much safer.

Should these guys be encouraged to press forward?But soon he dismissed this idea, because the appearance of a black-haired kid made his nerves tense immediately, and he even started to call loudly on the sidelines to his players to concentrate.

After Lin Yi cruised in the front court for nearly 5 minutes without any special movements, he suddenly moved, in a frightening way.

This is a battle of great disparity in height. Lin Yi's current height is less than 1 meters, but his opponents are a group of giants around 75 meters.

However, when Lin Yi controlled the football and broke forward quickly, those seemingly tall guys clearly felt a crisis.

Deco, who was regarded as the most dangerous by them, is now a little far away from the danger zone of the Panathinaikos team, but the black-haired kid plunged in and started rampaging in front of their big penalty area.

Panathinaikos' defensive midfielder Setartis was the first to sense the danger. Because of Lin Yi's silence in the first few minutes, he didn't pay much attention to the black hair that had been moving below his shoulders. kid.

But when the kid moved, he clearly felt the pressure coming from the front. Setartis, who was originally 1 meters tall, was the toughest defensive point in the entire Panathinaikos, but he was in front of him. The first time he came into direct contact with Lin Yi, the kid swung him away with a fake move, and even when Lin Yi slipped past him, he couldn't react to what happened.

"The most unbearable thing about that kid is that his body's center of gravity is very low, and his shaking speed is very fast. For a group of big men over 1 meters, it is simply a disaster." Mulini O watched everything that happened on the field and said to Brito beside him.

Brito is now completely immune to Mourinho's compliments on that kid, because he always hears the evaluation of that kid from Mourinho's mouth, although Mourinho never speaks in front of Lin. Wing's face said.

But it is indeed as Mourinho said, as long as that little guy is on the field, he will perform every assigned task very beautifully, and he will always bring surprises to others on the field and surprise opponents. We've got a lot of headaches, that's an amazing little guy.

A very fast-paced fake action allowed Lin Yi to tear a channel directly in the hinterland of the Panathinaikos team. When Setartis turned around and counterattacked, Lin Yi was caught by him and the Panathinaikos team. The central defender closed the door and got stuck outside the penalty area.

But the referee's whistle had already sounded, and Lin Yi poked the ball away with his toe the moment the unlucky central defender came up to defend, and he had already jumped out on the turf. On his shin guards, the result of this kick was to make Lin Yi lie on the ground.

Anyway, Lin Yi's best choice at this time is to lie on the turf and make painful gestures. As for the referee's penalty for showing the unlucky central defender a yellow card, it has nothing to do with him. Whoever made this guy's foul is right under the referee's nose , I can't blame others.

Anyway, I'm not a flop, it's just a little deceptive. It is said that a woman with a big bust is easy to be brainless. It seems that a big man is also easy to be brainless. For example, these two idiots from Greece fell into the They fell into the trap designed by Lin Yi for them.

A direct free kick opportunity just over 20 meters from the goal, and almost directly towards the goal, this is probably the best distance preferred by anyone who is good at free kick shooting, it is right in Deco's range, now it's his turn The goalkeeper of the Panathinaikos team panicked.

Taking a deep breath, Deco carefully looked at the goal and the position of the human wall, and then started to run up. He straightened his instep vigorously, almost using all his strength to kick the football, because of his volley There was a painful sound.

Deco's fierce volley did not hit a curve ball as the Greek expected, but passed directly under the foot of the wall, which made all the Panathinaikos players who jumped up Lied, and they were very successful in blocking their goalkeeper's sight.

When the football stuck to the turf and went straight into the net, the poor goalkeeper didn't even realize what happened. In 5 minutes, Lin Yi's first assault gave Porto a chance to equalize. Bring the two teams back to the same starting line.

Those crazy Porto players hugged the little black-haired guy together. His lightning strike brought everything back to the original point, and the entire Dragon Stadium also burst into the loudest cheers in the silence. 1:1, the score has passed level off.

Don't forget, whose home is this, the Porto team's offense will burn from this moment, the equalizer is just the beginning, definitely not the end.

And from this moment on, Lin Yi almost became a nightmare for Panathinaikos' defense line. His ghostly figure made all the defenders feel headaches. He used his actions to remind those guys all the time that he The presence.

Especially in one-on-one situations, Lin Yi never considered the possibility of passing the ball. No matter how fierce the Greek in front of him was, Lin Yi was always looking for opportunities to break through with quick and flexible changes of direction. .

Either the opponent fouls, or Lin Yi will not pass the ball easily. His low center of gravity dribbling always seems so easy when dealing with these big men.

A bayonet that had already been sharpened was poking back and forth at the Greeks' defense line, and Panathinaikos' defense line began to crumble.

The Dragon Stadium, on this night, is definitely not a blessed place for these Greeks. The Uruguayan coach of the Panathinaikos team has clearly felt that his head is sweating, and it is still a cold sweat.

A guy who frantically twisted his small waist in front of his big penalty area was destroying his confidence. . .
