Chapter 135 Suspense ends!

"Sporting Lisbon is very strong, but their formation is far from perfect. It's just that their ferocious attack conceals this problem most of the time..."

The Sevilla players once again heard the coach's words:

"When they are intoxicated with their powerful offense, their defense will be very weak! So weak that they can poke a hole with just a light poke!"
-
"Although there are some controversies about these two goals of Sevilla, but... Isn't Sporting Lisbon's goal too simple?"

He Wei couldn't help asking such a question.

Xu Yang stared at the field for a few seconds, then nodded slowly:

"It's unavoidable. Look at their centre-field line-up!

Slimani and Lu Feng, these two forwards did not undertake too many defensive tasks, especially Lu Feng, as the absolute core of the team's offense, except for some set kicks, he never participated in the return defense.

What about the midfield four?
Nani on the left is showing his old age, and his physical fitness has not allowed him to give too much attention to defense.

Adrien Silva on the right is very active in defense, but his most regular defensive method...is fouling.

Joao Mario is not born to be a defensive material, not to mention that his main task is to sort out the offense and deliver shells to the striker.

Among the four, the only player who truly possessed the "defensive" attribute was the unknown Russell!

With such a field lineup, once the ball is lost, of course it is easy to be penetrated and broken by the opponent! -
"Get ready to warm up!"

Sporting Lisbon's assistant coach Luis Tofer pulled Carvalho and Montero players up from the bench, and the two frontcourt players quickly put on their substitute vests, stretching their limbs on the sidelines, ready to be dispatched by the coach at any time.

William Carvalho is a positive midfielder. In addition to defense, long pass scheduling is also his strength. Although Montero is a substitute striker, he is much more active in the frontcourt than Slimani. .

Emery took one look at them and understood immediately:

Silva is ready to strengthen the defense!

3-2 is a very dangerous score, but Sporting Lisbon is ready to change the previous offensive tactics!

Sevilla want to fight against me?

Then we will fight against him!
Compared with defensive counterattack, we Sporting Lisbon are not afraid of anyone!
-
"drop!"

As soon as the two substitutes started to run, Sporting won a free kick in a good position in front of the penalty area.

"MD!"

Slimani, who was thrown to the ground, spat and got up cursing.

He originally wanted to dribble into the penalty area and look for opportunities to shoot or fall, but the opponent didn't give him this opportunity at all, and stretched out his feet to knock him over.

Lu Feng spread his hands not far away, without expressing any dissatisfaction.

Montero will definitely replace Slimani, and it is of course reasonable that the latter wants to seize the last chance to perform.

As soon as Lu Feng squeezed into the penalty area, he was double-teamed by two defenders. He had to activate [Spike Defense] to gain breathing room.

But Adrian, who was in charge of free throws, had no intention of passing the ball at all, and directly bypassed the wall with a huge arc, rubbed the goal post and spun into the net!

4-2!

Overjoyed, Adrian rushed to the corner flag area, trying to take off his jersey, but Nani hugged him:
"It's only less than 60 minutes, what the hell do you want to do?!"

Silva on the sidelines was taken aback:
Adrian was originally a midfielder who used fouls instead of defense. If he got a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate, the next defense would be tied up, which would only be more detrimental to the team's defense.

"It's still reliable as a veteran..."

He exhaled with some fear, then raised his chin to the assistant coach Topher, indicating a substitution.

Slimani, the hero who made the free kick, and Nani, who stopped Adrian from undressing and celebrating, were replaced at the same time. When Sporting Lisbon finished celebrating, their formation was shrunk to a more defensive 451.

"Damn Portuguese..."

Emery cursed viciously, and quickly dispatched troops.

Sporting Lisbon chose to defend, and Sevilla, which was behind, could only attack. He had to send the young and strong right winger Vitolo to replace the old Reyes, in order to strengthen the offensive.

But Emery also knows that it is only a matchup adjustment. In fact, it is difficult to pose a threat to the shrinking opponent, but he has no other choice.

There is still half an hour in the game, and it is not yet at the point of a desperate fight. It is also difficult for him to make up his mind. At this time, he will give up his tactical philosophy...
-
In all fairness, there is still a certain gap between the overall strength of La Liga teams and Portuguese Super League teams. If the strength of the 2015 Champions League champion Barcelona is 100, then Sevilla can probably reach around 88, while Sporting Lisbon can only reach the level of 80 at most. .

But this gap is not enough to make the two sides feel that there is a big difference in strength and weakness. At least when Sporting Lisbon concentrates on defense, Sevilla can't find too many solutions to solve it most of the time.

Time passed quickly in the repeated attempts to attack and the unsuccessful attacks.

"Sevilla's offensive is very strong during this period, but everyone can feel that the physical fitness of the players can no longer keep up, and the time left for them is getting less and less..."

He Wei shook his head. The nearly 20-minute offensive and defensive drill also allowed him to rest for a long time.

Xu Yang noticed the players warming up on the sidelines:

"Sevilla is going to make a second substitution adjustment? Center Ivora is about to play, Emery may have to fight desperately at the last moment!"
-
In the 78th minute, Emery finally made the decision to substitute.

He has no patience to wait any longer. The disadvantage of being behind by two goals will put more and more pressure on the players, and they must get back a goal as soon as possible!
As long as the score is rewritten to 3-4, this goal will become a stimulant for the players' emotions, stimulating the last bit of potential in their bodies!
Ivora, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, went into battle, and it was not a certain frontcourt player who was replaced by him, but right back Tremorinas!
-
"Replacing the full-backs with a centre-forward?"

Silva is far less calm than he appears on the surface.

As Emery thought, 4-2 is not 100% safe. Once Sporting Lisbon concedes another goal, the pressure will naturally shift to their heads!
As soon as Ivora came on, Sevilla got a corner kick.

The corner kick this time was also very far-fetched. It was obvious that Vitolo failed to pass the ball out of the baseline, but the linesman closed his eyes and pointed the flag to the baseline.

With the addition of a tall striker, Sporting Lisbon's penalty area was a little flustered. Fortunately, the goalkeeper and captain Patricio immediately directed his teammates to complete the division of defense, and then Patricio went out in person. Remember "Pushing the window and looking at the moon", directly knocking the football from Seville into the air!

Suddenly, people in the restricted area turned their backs!
Ivora and Cedric were entangled, and neither of them managed to take off, but was cleared by Oliveira's header.

The football flew diagonally out of the penalty area and came to the feet of João Mario, who had little effect on the defensive end.

Mario, whose physical fitness had already shown a yellow light, turned around and rubbed the ball together!
He doesn't need to observe the running position of his teammates in the frontcourt, because he already knows how reliable that teammate is!

"Long pass! Sporting Lisbon's counterattack!"

He Wei was finally able to raise his voice. He watched the football pass across the sky, and a green and white figure flashed across the green field like lightning!
"Lu Feng is fast! As long as he can catch the pass, he can kill the game!"
-
Sevilla's left-back Alex Vidal was the player responsible for the delay.

This is not the first chance for Sporting Lisbon to counterattack in this game. Just 10 minutes ago, Vidal ended Lu Feng's advance with an early foul. As a price, he also received a yellow card and a stern warning from the referee. .

This time, he might also have a chance to stop Lu Feng's activation, but he hesitated for half a second at that moment, and could only eat dirt behind Lu Feng's ass!

This guy... is not human!
Vidal looked at the farther and farther back, and despair rose in his heart.

He knows better than anyone else that his pursuit is just a waste of energy!
That No. 18 accelerated again after running 30 meters!
But Vidal's knees couldn't help but soften, and he slipped and fell to the ground with a "slip".

Desperate, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Feng deftly picked the ball past the equally desperate goalkeeper, and then pushed for an empty goal!

5-2!

In the 81st minute, Sporting Lisbon killed the game!
