Chapter 563 A Contest Between New and Old Madmen
After scoring the goal, Gao Yuan immediately made tactical and personnel adjustments.

Dzeko, who scored the goal, was replaced by Wang Zi.

This is not a simple personnel adjustment, which means that the entire tactical play has been changed.

This means that Maritimo is no longer aggressive, but strategically defends and counterattacks, and tactically focuses on possession of the ball.

Defensive counterattack and ball possession play seem to be a pair of contradictions, but in fact they are not contradictory in actual implementation.Just like despising the opponent strategically and paying attention to the opponent tactically, the seemingly contradictory is actually unified.

The key is that you have to have players who are suitable for this style of play.

And Maritimo has it.

The current Maritimo is a frontless formation, with Wang Zi and Ronaldo alternately appearing in the midfielder and forward positions.Sometimes there are even 6 people in the midfield, everyone has the ability to pass and control, and of course they can turn the ball upside down.

This pass and control is based on defense and is aimed at scoring goals. It is completely different from some teams passing and controlling for the purpose of passing and controlling.

After Maritimo changed his style of play, Real Madrid suffered even more.

Because the current situation requires them to press out and attack, but once they attack, the weakness of the defense line will be exposed.

And Maritimo's defensive counterattack is to punch the opponent's weakness.

If you don't attack, you are waiting for death, and if you attack, you are courting death. How should you choose?It's time to test Zidane again.

Qi Zu on the sidelines looked stern. He didn't understand why this situation happened again!And this time, he no longer has the Great Saint Bell to be his savior!
As a last resort, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Zidane replaced the ineffective Vinicius with "Fatza" Hazard who had repeatedly hurt his heart.

By the way, I look forward to the metaphysics that has saved me countless times showing its power again.

However, the reason why metaphysics is metaphysics is because it is not effective every time. If it works every time, it is not metaphysics, but science.

Metaphysics may not always work, but Fei Zha makes people sad every time.

Hazard, who has not played for a long time, is in very poor physical condition because he has not played for a long time. Not to mention creating a threat, it is difficult to do even the best dribbling before.

Seeing how many times Hazard conceded the ball, Zidane regretted it. It's better to keep Vinicius, at least he can run when he is young!
But there is no medicine for regret in the world, Zidane can only scratch his bald forehead anxiously.

Under the ebb and flow, Maritimo played more relaxed.

In the 84th minute, Maritimo counterattacked.

Antonio once again captured Hazard alive one-on-one, cut off the ball at his feet, and then handed it to the midfielder João.

Joao passed to Zhou Yong, Zhou Yong passed to Qiao La, and Qiao La passed to J Luo... After the middle length and several people fell down 17 or 8 feet, the ball came to the front of the penalty area.

Liu Yun made a diagonal pass to Wang Zi, who was at the front of the penalty area. Seeing the ball reach his feet, Wang Zi didn't catch the ball, but thrust forward fiercely.

The ball was also missed.

Casemiro, who was guarding Wang Zi, was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what was going on, but soon he found that the ball had leaked to Ronaldo's feet not far away.

He was anxious, his mind was hot, and he forgot the basic principle of "watching the ball, not the people", and rushed to Ronaldo.

He's out of position!

Before Casemiro rushed in front of him, Ronaldo flicked his ankle and the ball hit behind him.

There, Wang Zi has been inserted into Real Madrid's penalty area like a sharp knife.

People arrive and ball arrives!Wang Zi didn't stop the ball, and shot directly with his left foot!
Being so close to the goal and playing so resolutely, Courtois didn't have any chance, he could only watch the ball pass by his side and fly into the net!
2: 0!

This wonderful goal completely killed the suspense of the game and sealed the victory!

The Portuguese super upstart Maritimo overturned the old giants, the Galacticos Real Madrid at their home court!

Shortly after the second goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

competition is over!

Maritimo's temporary home stadium Ray Ives turned into a sea of ​​joy!

Although this is the home court of the rivals in the same city, at this moment, everyone is Portuguese!We are all proud of the Portuguese team's achievements in the European arena!
Maritimo ended the group stage with a beautiful victory!

In another UEFA Champions League group match at the same time, the Salzburg Red Bull was out of form and was defeated by Schalke 041:0.

Schalke 04 also avoided the embarrassment of losing all in the group.

So far, this season's Champions League group stage is all over.

Maritimo has 5 wins and 1 draw. They are undefeated and proud of the whole group, scoring 15 goals and only conceding 3 goals!
皇家马德里位居小组第二，3胜2平1负，打入9球丢了6球，其中有4个是拜马里迪莫所赐。

The Salzburg Red Bull, who lost the chain in the final stage, barely ranked third, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, scoring 5 goals and conceding 10 goals.

They were expected to become the biggest dark horse in the UEFA Champions League this season, but because they were demoralized by Maritimo, they were devastated and could only go to the Europa League to continue their dark horse dream!

充当副班长的是沙尔克04，1胜5负，进4球失14球。

It's not that they are too bad, it's that the opponents in the group are too fucking tough!
Just like the Chinese team in 2002, everyone only remembers that they scored 9 goals without scoring a goal, but don't forget that their opponent in the group stage was the champion Brazil, the dark horse Turkey of that World Cup!Costa Rica, the runner-up of the North American Gold Cup that year!
To paraphrase a classic line in the movie: It's not that the national army is incompetent, it's that the G army is too cunning!
But the opponent has Gundam!

The day after the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, UEFA held a draw for the round of 16.

Maritimo's opponent is No.2 Tottenham Hotspur in Group C!
As soon as this sign came out, the media exploded!

Conspiracy theorists have speculated that UEFA has engaged in a secret operation in order to create topics for ratings!
It's not that Maritimo and Tottenham Hotspur are attractive, but their coaches: Gao Yuan and Mourinho!
Both are highly topical and controversial star coaches!

And there are many things in common between the two:
Neither of them was born as a star player. Although Mourinho played in a few small teams in low-level leagues, he didn't make a name for himself and retired at the age of 24; Gao Yuan never played professionally for a day.

Although both of them became monks halfway, their achievements were exceptionally outstanding.

Both of them were well-known in the Portuguese Super League. Mu Niao led Porto to win the Champions League and has been out of control since then. Gao Yuan seems to be striding forward in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Both of them have very distinctive personalities, and they both like to hate the sky and hate the air!
Both of them emphasize tactical discipline very much, and they say what they say in the team. If what they say is right, the players must implement it. If what they say is wrong, you have to act as if it is right and implement it!

Both are believers in defensive counterattacks, and both like to study tactics

Both are language geniuses, both proficient in multiple languages
……

The two have so much in common that many media like to call Gao Yuan the "new Mourinho".

However, Gao Yuan is not interested in such titles, "New Mourinho" and "New Klopp", I am Gao Yuan, the number one Gao Yuan in the world!
However, no matter what Gao Yuan thinks, the outside world is still extremely excited about the contest between "old and new madmen"!
