World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 366 Atypical Competition

At this stage of the second half, the physical fitness of the Sao Paulo people is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

After defending most of the court, now he suddenly wants to attack, and the rhythm will not be able to adjust for a while.

Therefore, their offense still relies on Pato, the "transmission" on the front line.

The Sao Paulo team has always shown people with gorgeous and elegant offensive football, but now they rely on the speed of the striker to fight back. Obviously this is an atypical tactical play for the team.

However, DB also gave up the ground ball tactics in this game and played a long pass, which is also an atypical style of play.

No way, this is the final!
Although the Sao Paulo team simplified the problem, trying to pass the ball to Pato, relying on his speed and personal ability to attack DB's defense, but their passing organization is still elegant.

The organization in the midfield is still orderly. The ball has to pass under the feet of many players.

Such a slow pace, although it seems to delay things and is inconsistent with the fast-moving concept of modern football, it also plays a role in confusing opponents, because you can never predict when they will suddenly speed up.

No, the ball turned around and came to the feet of full-back Alves.

No one expected that the former Barcelona superstar would suddenly throw a long pass over the top from the sideline.

The ball went over most of the court and landed behind the DB line.

And Pato has been looking for such an opportunity. At the moment the ball is passed, he is like an astute cheetah, and suddenly rushes forward.

Under normal circumstances, there would not be such a large gap between DB's defense and the goalkeeper.

But because the score had been falling behind before, and the opponent was suppressed with a long pass, the defense line pushed forward without knowing it, leaving a large "open field" behind.

Such a large space is exactly what Pato needs for sprinting.

He was fully charged, moving like the wind.For this goal, Pato felt very good. The opponent's defense is not good at speed. What's more, the strongest defender, Qusay, has already gone to play forward. Now who can do anything to me!
Pato took a few strides and rushed to the ball. While running at high speed, without slowing down, he licked his chest and firmly unloaded the ball in front of him.

Immediately after a big trip, he took the ball and rushed in.

This set of sprinting, unloading the ball, and sprinting with the ball is smooth and fast. It fully demonstrates the strength and demeanor of the golden boy in football in the past. How many people in today's football world can keep up with Pato's full sprint speed.

Seeing that he was about to enter the restricted area.

Pato has already begun to think about whether to shoot from a close angle, or hit a far corner, or lob a shot, or even wear the goalkeeper's crotch.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly hit his side, Pato was startled, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

He didn't have time to think about who came so fast and so fiercely.

In a hurry, he could only rely on his body's instinctive reaction to kick the ball back, hoping to beat the opponent's fierce rush.

But the opponent was not only coming fiercely, but also kicked accurately and ruthlessly. At the moment Pato kicked back the ball, the two people's feet came together through the ball.

Pato felt a huge force coming from under his feet, which made his center of gravity unstable, and his feet went limp, so he lay down on the turf.

And the ball was naturally confiscated by the opponent.

Pato lay on the ground, looked back in surprise, and saw that the one who snatched the ball from him turned out to be that strong orangutan-like midfielder——Zhou Yong!
How is this gorilla so fast!So fierce!The foot is still so stable!So accurate!

He didn't know that Zhou Yong's single-game ability has also been improved by Gao Yuan. Now the CA of key attributes such as explosive power, defensive positioning, blocking, and interception has reached his PA limit.

Zhou Yong is the key to DB's confident and bold long pass in the second half of the game!

Since Qu Sai was transferred to the forward line, Zhou Yong has been given more important tasks by Gao Yuan. He has to act as a defensive midfielder to intercept and sweep the midfield, and he has to fill in the vacancy left by Qu Sai to fill in the gaps on the back line!

There is such a tradition in world football that an excellent defensive midfielder can often play as the team's central defender at critical moments, and he plays quite well.For example, Italy's De Rossi, who played as a central defender in the European Cup, performed world-class; Argentina's Mascherano, because he was too brilliant in the central defender position, and then gradually became a central defender, and Keane, Carrick, etc. are all masters.

Now, DB's high-potential beast waist Zhou Yong has inherited the glorious tradition of his predecessors and shines in the defense line.

Zhou Yong is characterized by a strong body, strong athletic ability, and a large defensive range, coupled with tireless running and a spirit of fighting and fighting. These are the indispensable potentials of an excellent defensive midfielder.But he also has the disadvantages of poor defensive experience, weak defensive skills, and lack of sophisticated position selection, which limit his performance on the back line.

But this time, Gao Yuan transformed and improved his abilities through the system. Not only were his original weaknesses improved, but his explosive power and other characteristics also injected the most needed vitality into the DB defense line that lacked speed.

This is an atypical Zhou Yong!

Sao Paulo has only one Pato at the top. As long as Pato is guarded, Sao Paulo's counterattack will be locked.

In the next few contests, Pato's ball was also destroyed by Zhou Yong.

And Zhou Yong also gradually gained experience in defense. He no longer let Pato take the ball easily, but stuck to Pato's side like a dog's skin plaster, making him impossible to hide and avoid.No matter how Pato moves, how he hits east and west, how he retreats to catch the ball, Zhou Yong will follow him closely and never let him be alone.

Pato wanted to cry, but the other party followed him wherever he ran. He ran so fast and with great strength. He leaned against him, and he felt that it was much more difficult to breathe.

The elegance and magnificence of Sao Paulo players requires the ball at their feet. Now that Zhou Yong is sticking to him, Pato hasn't touched the ball for a long time.

An atypical Zhou Yong made Pato suffer a lot.

In the studio, Chen Yong also noticed this scene.

"Without Kusai, DB's defense doesn't seem to be affected too much. Zhou Yong has completed the task assigned by the coach very well and locked the opponent's arrow Pato!"

Shen Fu's face was gloomy, although he really wanted to say a few words to hurt DB, but the facts speak louder than words, and he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, so after holding back for a long time, he could only snort coldly:

"Sao Paulo didn't put energy into attacking. Don't forget that the total score is now 3:4. As long as Sao Paulo maintains the current score, it can win the championship!"

Chen Yong glanced at Shen Fu, and cursed secretly in his heart, "Lemon essence, you have something to do with Sao Paulo winning the championship, what's your air?"But he glanced at the game time again, and it was almost 75 minutes.Can't help but say anxiously:

"There is not much time left for DB, guys from DB, come on!"

Shen Fu curled his lips in disdain: "It's too unreliable to count on this kind of lucky kicking method that depends on the sky!"

On the court, DB still faithfully implemented the lofty tactics, like an artillery regiment, continuously firing towards the opponent's restricted area.The ball was like a dense rain of bullets, constantly hitting every corner of the Sao Paulo penalty area.
