Chapter 342 The power of the home field

Mirasol is the famous "home dragon", which is closely related to their hot home atmosphere.

When they got the chance to play at home through the lottery, everyone in Mirasol was brightened, as if they saw the hope of defeating their opponents, entering the finals, and making history.

Therefore, the head coach Moises Eggert decided to focus on me and sent the strongest attacking lineup.

The 4-4-2 formation is their usual formation in the regular season, and this formation has a strong attacking power.The "Trident" formed by Susa, Maracquias and Roberto is one of the most powerful offensive combinations in Sao Paulo State.

Mirasol's average number of goals per game in the regular season ranked third in the state championship, relying on the brave performance of the frontcourt trident.

Before the game, after repeated research on the opponents, the DB team, who had done their homework, made targeted arrangements.

The overall strategic principle is "defensive counterattack", and a 4-2-3-1 formation is formed.

Alfonso is at the front. Liu Yun and Qiao La, who are fast and outstanding in personal ability, are selected on the left and right flanks. Zhou Yong and Xu Yifan are used as the defensive midfielders. On the defensive line, central defender Batur partners with Kusai, and Niu Gensheng is selected as the goalkeeper.

Wang Zi, who played well in the previous game, did not play.

This also caused Gao Yuan to be scolded a lot in China thousands of miles away.

"Such an important game, the number one domestic star Wang Zi is not allowed to play?!"

This is the question of the majority of ordinary fans.

"What is this coach doing? If I hadn't had my prince, I wouldn't have gotten up early in the morning to watch the TV broadcast!"

This is the dissatisfied voice of the "fans" of the prince's personal guard.

"I think this kid Gao Yuan is a bit drifting, this match will capsize nine times out of ten!"

This is Gao Yuan and the black fans of the DB team are cursing.

"Such a critical game has hidden the core players. Could it have something to do with the change in the handicap?"

This is the suspicion of conspiracy theorists.

"This is incomprehensible to employing people. If you don't get Wang Zi, will you mess yourself up? Could it be that domestic coaches can't escape the fate of losing the chain at a critical moment?"

This is fanning the flames by the unscrupulous media who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

But Gao Yuan can't hear these voices now, and even if he hears them, he will dismiss them. I have the final say on my team!I don't need to explain Lao Tzu's formation to anyone!
A pile of good players does not mean that you can become a good team.Otherwise, the Real Madrid Galacticos, which had seven superstars back then, would have been invincible long ago.

There is no perfect player in the world, and there is no useless player, only players who appear in the right position at the right time.

Every player has its own characteristics. These characteristics, facing different opponents, can sometimes get twice the result with half the effort and get the most out of it;

And how to choose players and how to play their characteristics is an art, and it is also an important yardstick to measure the level of coaches.

The power of formation and the selection of players are all in the coach's mind.

The game started, and DB kicked off first.

The referee blew his whistle, and tens of thousands of people in the stands collectively burst into a cry of "Mirasol".

Like a heavy hammer, it slammed into the void, causing the air to tremble.

In an instant, the DB teenagers were stunned by the shouting, and before the ball could be passed, it was cut off by the opponent's forward Roberto.

Gao Yuan on the sidelines frowned slightly. He made a mistake within a second of the opening. This is not a good sign!
Mirasol, who broke the ball, immediately went into the attack, and the cheers from the stands were like the drums of the attack, and the sound of vuvuzelas, one after another, was the horn of the march. Now the drums and horns sounded in unison, and the Mirasol players were like Mayan warriors, crazily attacking the opponent's defense.

At the pre-match tactical preparation meeting, Gao Yuan had anticipated such a situation, and told the players:

"After the opening, the opponent will definitely take advantage of the home court and attack wildly. The three-point ax in the opening game will be very sharp. You have to be prepared, and it is best to hit one or two beautiful counterattacks, so that the opponent realizes that we are not just a soft persimmon! When they are concerned about their own defense and dare not fully press, our defense pressure will be reduced. In short, the principle is not to let the home team go crazy!"

The DB boys seem to have carried out Gao Yuan's tactical instructions very well.

Mirasol's first attack had just hit the frontcourt, and before the formation was completely opened, Zhou Yong saw the opportunity and suddenly rushed up to make a steal.

The player holding the ball, Gilcinho, felt a gust of wind hit his face before he could stop the ball quickly. He instinctively wanted to protect the ball, but the opponent's body was too strong, like a black whirlwind, blowing him aside and snatching the ball away.

Zhou Yong, who broke the ball, was about to pass the ball to his teammate when suddenly boos and shouts came from his ears.

Now he can already understand a lot of Portuguese, and he clearly heard many people in the stands shouting "foul, this is a foul"

Although he knew that his movements were clean, Zhou Yong couldn't help hesitating when he heard the overwhelming sound of "foul".

He instinctively looked in the referee's direction, only to find that the referee seemed to be hesitating, with the whistle in his mouth, but he didn't make any indication for the time being.

It was only then that Zhou Yong remembered that he should hand the ball to his teammates. Because of his hesitation, this wave of counterattack had been delayed from the very beginning.

According to the routine repeatedly practiced in training, after Zhou Yong completed the steal, he immediately handed it over to Xu Yifan, and he launched a long pass to counterattack.But Zhou Yong just wanted to pass the ball to Xu Yifan, and Gilcinho, who had been squeezed out before, had already taken advantage of his hesitation and killed him back.

Zhou Yong couldn't pass to Xu Yifan immediately, so he could only seek stability and pass the ball back to Batur behind him.

Fortunately, Batur's mind was still very clear, and he quickly passed a diagonal pass to Xu Yifan who was responding.

Despite a slight delay, the ball came to Xu Yifan's feet.

Xu Yifan was about to make a long pass and hit the ball behind the opponent's defense line, using the ability of the two wide players to penetrate behind.

But the opponent's defenders have already entangled.

Xu Yifan made a feint of kicking his feet, taking advantage of the opponent's movement stagnation, he stepped on and pulled his feet immediately, and made a long pass when he was free.

But just when he had already aimed at the point of the ball and was about to kick off, he was bumped from behind by his opponent. His center of gravity was unstable, and he passed the ball, but he also fell to the ground.

This is an obvious foul, but the referee raised his hands and signaled the game to continue.

Because Xu Yifan's center of gravity was unstable when passing the ball, the ball did not hit behind the opponent's defense line exactly as planned, but the line was slightly off, almost flying out of the sideline.

Fortunately, Jorah on the wing was alert enough to chase the ball back.

However, the original plan for Jorah to go straight behind the opponent's defense line and hit the goal directly failed to hit the goal.

Now the situation has changed, Jolla has the ball on the touchline, and the opposition full-back Marcio Careca has returned to the position.

This is not a problem for Jorah, who is good at breaking through.

I saw his butt twisted twice on the spot, constantly changing the center of gravity, and suddenly his body tilted to the right side suddenly. Carrera thought he was going to break through from this side, and just hurriedly blocked it, but he didn't know it was a fake move!Jorah dribbled the ball from the left side like a rabbit.

Under normal circumstances, Brazilian fans appreciate this kind of impromptu performance. Regardless of the home or away game, when a beautiful one-on-one breakthrough is completed, there will be warm applause from the stands. But this time, Chora did not hear praise as usual.

"Damn circus clown!"

"Dare to surpass others, break his legs!"

"Asshole, stop looking down on people"

······
This sudden insult made Jorah furious, and aroused his competitive spirit even more.

Don't you want to see me surpass others?I just want to show it to you!

Alfonso, who was originally in the middle, had already outflanked in place, but Jorah turned a blind eye and continued to dribble the ball inward.

But the opponent's player had already returned to the defense, and the midfielder Rodrigue swooped over, and was dunked by Jola in the opposite direction;

But central defender Manoel was on the side early and early, waiting for an opportunity to help defend.

Jorah pulled the ball in a V shape while running, and escaped Manoel's supplementary defense.

But after being delayed by these two people, Kaleka, who had just been passed by, had already chased back, bumped into Jorah with his body, and at the same time exerted force with his arm, making a movement of pushing outward.

Jorah was thrown to the ground by the bump and push.

Thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the stands, but this was not dedicated to Jola, but to the home team's steal.

"Kareca, beautiful steal!"

"Let this ignorant kid see what overall defense is!"

"A boy whose hair hasn't even grown yet, still thinks about others?"

Jorah lay on the ground with a look of grief and indignation, in his heart, are you all blind?You still applaud such an obvious foul.

He turned his eyes to the referee, but saw that the referee still had the whistle in his mouth, hesitantly, but after hearing the applause from the stands, he spat out the whistle from his mouth, indicating that it was a good shot.

What the fuck!

If you are blind, don't come out and be a referee!
Jorah couldn't help but swear.

The referee has bad eyesight, but his hearing is really fine.ran over and warned:
"Boy, pay attention to your attitude! And in front of so many home spectators, don't play in a provocative way, I will stare at you!"

???

!!!

What is a provocative way to play football?Since when is Brazilian football not allowing dribbling? !

Jorah was about to explode.Gao Yuan's brows became more and more wrinkled.

Is this the home power of Mirasol? .

This wave of offense, from the beginning of Zhou Yong to the end of Qiao La, almost everyone was influenced by the opponent

The momentum created by the home audience has already affected the mentality of the players and the referee's penalty!
The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are on the side of the opponent.

This game is not easy to play!
