World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 475 The second half of the league

At Mendes' reception, Gao Yuan met a group of bigwigs in European football.

Now he is no longer an unknown person, and many European footballers take the initiative to chat and say hello to him.

There were also managers of several European clubs who sent business cards, hoping that Gao Yuan would consider coaching with them.

What pleased Gao Yuan the most was that Ronaldo actually told him:

"I have been paying attention to the team in my hometown. I really appreciate your tactical style of play and the achievements you have achieved under the leadership of the team. I hope that one day we can work together."

The recognition from the Portuguese football champion made Gao Yuan feel excited.

It turns out that I have come to this height? !

However, it is not enough! Ronaldo just said that he wants to cooperate with himself, and I will continue to work hard. One day, when Ronaldo sees me, he excitedly expresses that he must work under his command!
However, considering Ronaldo's age, I have to hurry up!
During the winter break of the Portuguese Super League, Gao Yuan took the time to go to Germany, and spent a few days with Xiaoxia in a shameless two-person world.

Then fly to Portugal, transfer to two major regions, select a few good seedlings, and the negotiating team of Yuanshuai Company will follow up and negotiate.

The team regrouped, trained and prepared for the second half of the league.

Due to the penalty, player transfer registration cannot be carried out, so in the second registration after the opening of the league winter window, only a few individual players from the first team and reserve team were adjusted.The high-potential demons signed by Gao Yuan before "traveling around the world" still failed to sign up, and could only wait for the summer transfer window to open half a year later.

Therefore, the most attractive change in Maritimo's second registration list for the Portuguese Super League this season is that the identity of "team soul" Antonio has changed from "captain" to "captain and coach".

In the subsequent training and competitions, Gao Yuan also deliberately cultivated Antonio. As long as he does not play, he will answer his questions in combination with the game scene and guide him hand in hand.

Just like what Li Xiaopeng did to him back then.

In the days that followed, Maritimo was just as Gao Yuan expected. With the deepening of the league, the players' abilities became more and more sophisticated, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

If there were still some more or less problems in the first half of the game, then after more than half a year of running-in, the team's problems have been gradually overcome and resolved, and they are completely leading the league standings with crushing funds.

In addition, the "top three in the Portuguese Super League" behind them have encountered various problems because they have to be distracted by European competitions, and new players need to be adjusted in the winter window.

Maritimo's odds of winning the championship have risen from the bottom to the top of the positive, 1 to 1.9!
Such odds indicate that the dealer is very optimistic about Maritimo, and in the eyes of international traders, Maritimo is a very champion!
And Gao Yuan's prestige value is also accumulating more and more in the continuous wins. Optimistically, if he can win the championship this season, then with various bonuses, he will definitely be able to buy the "nuclear weapon modifier" that Gao Yuan has long wanted for a long time!

The only ones that can pose a threat to Maritimo are the "top three in the Portuguese Super League". In order to maintain the dignity of the old strong teams, the three teams have tried their best to stop Maritimo from advancing.

Among them, the most dissatisfied is the coach of Sporting Portugal, Ruben Amorim.

Although the young marshal has a poor record and is currently only ranked fifth in the standings, even being overwhelmed by Braga, his position is precarious, but he always misses Maritimo.

He was somewhat disdainful of the achievements of Gao Yuan, who was also a young marshal.Think he was just lucky.In the early stage, other teams did not pay much attention to Maritimo, and they took advantage of the loopholes. In the later stage, it was because they did not need to be distracted from the European competition and could concentrate on playing the league.

Although Sporting Lisbon has also been eliminated in the Europa League, this does not affect Ruben Amerim in the slightest and feels that Maritimo has taken advantage of it.

Especially the loss of the last confrontation made the Portuguese young coach even more brooding.

Although the game was lost 1:3 in the end, Ruben Amerim believed that he lost to the FIFA virus, rather than being defeated by his opponent.

As he said in the press conference after the game: "I don't think my team is inferior to Maritimo, it's just that we are deeply affected by the FIFA virus! I am now very much looking forward to the next match with Maritimo! I will show them my true strength!"

Now, the opportunity for vengeance lay before him.

In order to fight the battle of revenge, he even strategically gave up the Portuguese Cup before the game, and was eliminated by Guimaraes, who was not strong.

Bearing the infamy of being yelled "dismiss get out of class" by the fans, he must also fight well in this battle against Maritimo.

This time he formed the strongest lineup at the Dos Barores Stadium, and under his deliberate adjustments, the state of the players remained good.

"This time there is no FIFA virus, I want to show you the true strength of Portuguese sports!" Ruben Amorim gritted his teeth.

Game start.

The tactic arranged by Ruben Amorim is to grab the start.

He fully learned the lessons of the first game. At that time, due to the impact of the FIFA virus, his team was unable to enter the state for a long time, and Maritimo took the initiative. As a result, the whole game did not slow down.

The players of Sporting Lisbon faithfully implemented the tactics of the head coach.

As soon as the ball was kicked off, the offensive players rushed towards Maritimo's defense like wolves and tigers.

The ball didn't even go back, it went forward.

The winger Raphael dribbled the ball forward, and the momentum was like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles.After rushing for a full 30 meters, and then... nothing more.

Raphael didn't notice that he had reached a dead end.

When he realized it, the ball had already been broken by the joint efforts of Joao and Dansuo.

Sporting Lisbon, which was pressing forward with all its strength, instantly switched from offense to defense.

"Stop him! Be aggressive! Momentum is important!" Ruben Amorim roared loudly from the sidelines.

His team members have received instructions before the game. They must have momentum at the beginning of the game. Even if it is a foul, as long as they show a tough attitude, they will do nothing wrong!
Defensive players are gearing up, just wait for the opponent to bring the ball up, and give the opponent some color.

But unexpectedly, Dansuo broke the ball and passed it to Joao, and Joao passed it to Zhou Yong, and the ball hit Fonseca on the right again, transitioning from left to right.

Then Fonseca passed it to Jolla, Jolla passed it to Zhou Yong, Zhou Yong passed it to Joao, who responded, Joao passed it to Liu Yun, who advanced forward, and the ball went back to the left.

Liu Yun did not break through, and passed to Wang Zi in the middle...

In this way, the ball went from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left. Almost everyone in Maritimo touched the ball, but no one stuck to it.

The ball went round and round under the feet of different players without stopping at all, as if it was a smooth piece of music, and everyone was a pulsating note in it. It was so soothing, and the ball was unknowingly poured to the frontcourt.

This wave of passes lasted for two to three minutes, and the Sporting Portuguese players didn't know who to turn to if they wanted to foul.

Ruben Amerim was just as confused as his players: "Isn't Maritimo used to counterattack quickly? Why is it now that he has changed his nature and started to pass and control, and the transmission is so smooth!"

Just when the Portuguese sports team was confused, the ball had unknowingly developed to the front of the opponent's penalty area.

Without warning, Maritimo suddenly exerted strength!
The ball came to Vukovic's feet.Vukovic made a fake move to continue passing the ball, but suddenly strode the ball into the penalty area and killed it.

Due to the sudden incident, Sporting did not take precautions and was dunked once by Vukovic with his left foot and another with his right foot.

After that, Vukovic hit the goal!

The ball ran to the corner.The people of Sporting Lisbon are all heartbroken, they are going to lose the ball!

It's a pity that Vukovic's hastily played ball was too angled, and it flew out of the baseline against the post.

"Ah!" The fans at home broke out in regret.

Ruben Amorim, who survived the catastrophe, also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He is keenly aware that the current Maritimo seems to be very different from the first half of the season!
