World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 498
The three rounds of the "China Star" Football Invitational Tournament were played within a week. During this period, they had to travel back and forth in three cities, and had to attend some business activities. There was no time left for the team to adjust and train.

Gao Yuan can only focus on restorative training to help players recover their physical fitness and state as much as possible.

As for the implementation and understanding of tactics, in addition to the explanations at the tactical preparation meeting, it can only rely on the players to master them in the game.

After Yangcheng lost 1:3 to Wolves, Maritimo rushed to Shanghai without stopping.

The opponent in this round is the Spaniard led by Wu Lei.

And this game was also hyped by the outside world, saying that it was a contest between Wu Lei and Wang Zi, the two standard-bearers studying abroad!

Although in terms of achievements, Wu Lei, who played in West Second Division, cannot be compared with Wang Zi, who led the team to win the Portuguese Super League.

But the "Martial Arts King" is also an epoch-making figure in the Chinese team. In the dark age of Chinese football, he took the lead in stepping out of his comfort zone, gave up his high salary and went to Spain, and kept the spark of hope for Chinese football. This alone is very admirable.

In fact, the real strength of "Martial Arts King" is much stronger than what he showed, and he can even be said to be at the European level in terms of running positions, but his poor shooting skills and unstable mentality have seriously lowered people's impression of him.

Moreover, Modu is the headquarters of the "Martial Arts King" and has many supporters.

In the stands of Hongkou Stadium, two huge TIFOs were pulled up on opposite sides of the stands, namely Wu Lei and Wang Zi.

In the stands where TIFO is located, the "Samurai Army" and "Prince's Personal Guard" were cheering wildly for their idols.

These two cheerleaders are very different from each other.Most of Wu Lei's supporters are old men who are big and thick, they are a group of pure fans; on the other hand, most of Wang Zi's fans are young boys and girls in the rainy season, and most of them are girls. It is obvious that they are not here to watch the football, but to chase stars.

The power of female fans is infinite. On the day when Maritimo arrived in Shanghai, the landmark building "Oriental Pearl Tower" by the Huangpu River was on the tower, and the light and shadow of "Prince, I LVE YOU" were played.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played equally.

The reserve team of the Portuguese Super League champions and the main lineup of the Spanish second team were evenly matched.

It's not that Maritimo's reserve team is strong enough to be in the upper reaches of West Second Division, but Gao Yuan's tactics in this game are very targeted.

After attacking the whole game willfully in the last game, Gao Yuan formed a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, with 4 defenders + double midfielders to strengthen defense.

The reason why he did this was not how much Gao Yuan attached importance to this game. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. What Gao Yuan wants to see is whether his idea of ​​using Ronaldo can achieve good results.

Gao Yuan's request is that the rest of the team's ten players will all participate in the defense, and only Ronaldo, who is in the midfielder position, will be fixed in the opponent's half.

In this way, Ronaldo's physical consumption can be minimized, his offensive strengths can be utilized, and his strengths and weaknesses can be maximized.

As for one less defense, it is not a problem.

Because the current Maritimo's overall defense has taken shape, a chain defense system has been formed between the midfield and the backcourt, which can make up for the lack of one defensive player through overall movement and defense.

This style of play may show flaws when facing the top European giants, but it is definitely more than enough to fight against the opponents of the Second Division.

In the new season, Maritimo will fight on three fronts and will encounter all kinds of opponents. This is a unique style of play when facing opponents who are on the bus.Even if it is impossible to deploy this kind of tactics in the first round when facing a strong enemy in the future, if you try this kind of operation within a certain period of time, it may be possible to take a slanted sword and achieve unexpected results.

Gao Yuan's tactics are very effective, 10 people actively defend, making the defense line solid, and compressing the space, limiting Wu Lei's interspersed movement.And Ronaldo is in the frontcourt, he can take the ball to counterattack himself, and he can also pass a good ball for his teammates, which is a very threatening counterattack point.

In the 21st minute of the game, Maritimo made a wonderful counterattack.

A backcourt clearance made a long pass to Ronaldo's feet. He stopped the ball and took advantage of the trend, and then rushed forward with the ball.

Although the dribbling speed is not as sharp as it was at the peak, the opponent can't break the ball from his feet no matter what.

More and more defensive players surrounded Ronaldo. In this way, Ronaldo completely attracted the attention of the opponent's defense.

Suddenly, Ronaldo made a long pass without warning and kicked the ball to the right.

There, Wang Zi had already plugged in without anyone noticing.

The audience was in an uproar, how did he see it!It's so accurate!

Wang Zi easily unloaded the ball and went to the penalty area along the sidewalk.

When he took the ball near the penalty area line, he suddenly stopped rushing straight, but dunked the ball horizontally, out of an angle, and hit the goal with his kick.

The ball drew a beautiful arc, bypassed the goalkeeper Shi Zhiguan who was struggling to save, and flew into the net.

1:0
Wang Zi scored, and Ronaldo scored his first assist in Maritimo!
After the goal, Maritimo continued to stick to his previous style of play.

Although the Spaniard tried harder to attack, he had nothing to do with the opponent's goal.

However, on the scene, Maritimo seemed to be passive, huddled in his own half, while Ronaldo was floating in front alone, looking out of place with his defensive teammates.

The commentator for this game is Shen Fangjian.

Shen Fangjian is nicknamed "Shen Fat" by others, but he also has a more resounding identity "the number one martial artist in China"!
He made no secret that he is a fan of Wu Lei. Under his love for Wu Lei, he was very rude about his opponent Maritimo.

"Maritimo is completely passive, but unfortunately, the Spaniard was accidentally seized by them"

"Wu Lei went forward, oops, the ball was not passed, what a pity! Otherwise, it is very likely to tie the score!"

"J Luo doesn't seem to be integrated into the team at all, and he is not on the same channel as his teammates!"

"J Ronaldo's performance is a bit lazy. As we all know, Maritimo is a team that emphasizes discipline and defense. His style of play is incompatible with the team's style"

"It seems that Gao Yuan has to think about how to use J Luo after the game!"

In fact, although Ronaldo did not return to his own half to defend at the request of Gao Yuan, he did not play lazy. In fact, his position was very flexible, moving left and right in the opponent's half, interspersed back and forth.

The Spaniard coach Vicente Moreno originally wanted to send a player to follow Ronaldo tightly, but the opponent's position was too active, he was simply a free man in the frontcourt, and he couldn't follow at all.

And Gao Yuan's requirements are also extremely strict. He kept reminding Ronaldo to move and move around on the sidelines, not allowing him to stop in the slightest, just like a ferocious slave owner, he didn't want his slaves to have a moment to breathe.

Although Ronaldo is physically exhausted, the more he kicks, the happier he is in his heart!

Because his coach did what he said, and he really didn't let his own poor physical energy be spent on defense;

Not to mention that he didn't get special treatment because he was a big name. He was constantly urging himself and commanding himself. In the eyes of the opponent, he was not a star, but a player he could trust!

It seems that after I became famous, no one treated me like this again!
Here, Ronaldo seems to have found the feeling of playing football when he was young. Under the encouragement of the youth training coach, he worked hard to improve and move towards his dream!

At this moment, Ronaldo regained his original intention of playing football!
