Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 110 Bruges, here we come

"Welcome to Bosul Stadium, I'm Verbeke! Today in the commentary booth, we have invited former Royal Antwerp's meritorious coach ****-Meus!"

"Good evening, everyone!"

Meus coached Antwerp in the 90s of the last century.

In the 91/92 season, he led the team to win the runner-up of the First Division, and won the cup championship of the season, and was able to participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 92/93 season.

Under the leadership of Meus, Antwerp made it all the way to the final of the Cup Winners' Cup.

But in the final, they lost to Parma 1-3 and returned home with hatred.

After the end of the season, the ambitious Antwerp fired Meus.However, after Meus left office, Antwerp has not slowed down so far.The two seasons Meus coached were their last glory.

"The players from both sides have already entered the field. Let's first take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

Royal Antwerp, goalkeeper: 1, Willox.

Defenders: 2, Cedric, 6, Cisse, 8, Mehm, 18, Dries.

Midfielder: 10, Yu Liang, 24, Soleimani, 16, Biga, 17, Ferjans, 24, Darren Gibson.

Forwards: 29, King Dong.

Mosgoren, goalkeeper: 1, Patrice.

Defenders: 18, Geoffrey Toyes, 6, Sebastian Grimaldi, 15, Gazigem, 3, Charrett.

Midfielder: 14, Osu Sala, 22, Yassin, 20, David Gandia, 17, Nuku, 26, Patrick Dybala.

Forward: 7, Kastovic.

"Judging from the starting lists of both sides, they are both stationed in the midfield and want to make a fuss in the midfield. Mr. ****, what do you think we should pay attention to in this game?"

"First of all, the players deployed in the frontcourt of Moss Goren are very fast. If you want to curb their offense, you must reduce their attack speed. Judging from the starting list, Van Aker is fully prepared. Of course, this is the same as Moss. Gao Lun's announcement of the starting lineup in advance should be related! Secondly, in terms of offense, we must play the ball quickly, avoid fighting with the opponent, and have the opportunity to directly hit the opponent behind."

"Okay, Mr. **** has made it quite clear. Then let's watch this game."

……

As a guest, Mosgoren won the kick-off in the side-picking session.With a total score of 0-1 behind, they launched an attack immediately after the whistle sounded to start the game.The two wide players immediately moved forward quickly, attracting the defense of Soleimani and Gibson.With the advance of Mosgoren's players, Suleimani and Gibson's retreat, Antwerp's midfield defense immediately became vacant.

In order to curb Mosgoren's offense, Van Aker fine-tuned the team's formation, and the overall formation showed 4141.

In the midfield, Soleimani, Biga, Ferjans and Darren Gibson lined up to form the team's first line of defense.After Soleimani and Gibson retreated, there was a big gap between the two of them and the middle.

After Osu Sala, who dribbled the ball in front of the center circle, tried to break through, he passed directly diagonally to the left.

At this time, their left back Geoffrey was advancing at high speed, and when he was about to catch up with the football, he took the ball away with one foot.

"Hoho, beautiful! Yu Liang appeared in a key position and formed an interception. Let's see if there is a counterattack!"

In this game, Yu Liang will serve as the single defensive midfielder. Behind Soleimani and the others, the main job is to check for gaps and clean up.

When Soleimani and Gibson retreated, Yu Liang had already noticed two gaps.But he wasn't sure whether Mosgoren chose the left or the right, until he watched their left back rushing forward quickly, while the right back dragged in the backcourt, Yu Liang determined the direction, and then ran straight went right.

Sure enough, when he was about to complete his replacement, Mosgoren's pass arrived.

After he formed a steal, Mosgoren's left back Geoffrey did not immediately return to the defense, but directly rushed towards him.

After making a fake move to pass the ball to the center, after fooling Geoffrey, Yu Liang distributed the ball to the right with his instep.

Gibson, who had already advanced at this time, received the football and passed it directly, and then continued to advance quickly.

After receiving the pass from Gibson, Dong Wangwang in the frontcourt immediately hit the sidewalk, then quickly turned and advanced.

Gibson's speed was not very fast, but he passed the ball accurately. After receiving Dong Wang's horizontal knock, he directly penetrated the incomplete defense line of Mosgoren with a straight kick.

"Single sword..."

Just when all the Antwerp fans were cheering for Dong Wang's single-handedly, the linesman raised the flag.

"Ah, it's offside, King Dong's ball is offside!"

Verbeke couldn't believe his eyes, he had been paying attention to Gibson's pass.

"It was indeed offside. At the moment when King Dong advanced, another defender behind Moss Gaolun moved forward. It seems that Moss Gaolun has also made full preparations for this game. This Create offside tactics to make up for their shortcomings of slow turning speed."

***** see the whole process clearly.

"Well, yes! In this way, whether Antwerp will continue to play behind has become a question for Van Acker to consider! Both sides are prepared to fight, and it seems that this is destined to be a wonderful game!"

Seeing the lineman raising the flag, King Dong sighed helplessly, then gave Gibson a thumbs up.

After the goalkeeper Mosgoren kicked off, they still tried to attack from the side.

After having the opening idea, Suleimani and Gibson both paid attention to the depth of the retracement when defending, and did not give them a large gap.Coupled with the fact that Yu Liang was behind them to check for gaps and make up for gaps, Moss Gaolun did not get a good chance.

Van Aker still insisted on hitting behind, but in the offside tactics of Mosgollen, their counterattacks ended without a problem time and time again.

By the No. 30 minute of the first half, King Guangdong was offside 6 times alone.

In these 6 passes, Gibson passed 4 times from the right, and Suleimani passed 2 times from the left.Yu Liang in the backcourt did not show his precise long pass in these three 10 minutes.

When the team launched a counterattack, Yu Liang had been observing Mosgoren's defense.

It's not big news that Mosgoren's defenders turn slowly.In the last round, they took advantage of Mosgoren's shortcoming and scored a goal.

Obviously, in order to avoid this shortcoming being caught by Antwerp again, they used the offside tactic.

Through these three and 10 minutes of observation, Yu Liang discovered that the last two players dragged by Mosgoren were not central defenders, but their defensive midfielder No. 22 Yassin and right back No. 3 Charet.This means that above their right back is their centre-back.

"really!"

After carefully observing the opponent's players above the right back position, Yu Liang smiled.

Their full-backs and central backs did switch positions. The reason why they didn't find out before is that the two players look alike, have similar height and shape, and have exactly the same hairstyle.

After confirming this point, Yu Liang felt that he had a new attack idea.

After cutting off Mosgoren's pass, Yu Liang didn't split the side this time, but directly made a diagonal long pass, hitting the opponent's "right back" directly behind.

Although Soleimani was making a fast jump, he still couldn't catch up with the ball, and Yu Liang's pass went straight out of the baseline.

Seeing the football crossed the bottom line, Yu Liang sighed angrily.

While Yu Liang was sighing in annoyance, Mosgoren's head coach Geert, who was standing on the sidelines, became nervous.

The reason why the team's starting roster was announced in advance before the game is not that he has strong self-confidence, but that the team does not have many strong players for him to rotate.

The 11 players on the field now are the strongest lineup he can piece together.

He couldn't fundamentally solve the problem of slow turning of defensive players, he could only make adjustments from tactics.Pull the fast-turning right back to the center and drag it behind.Let the left back with a slow turning speed but strong assist ability attack boldly.To lure Antwerp into attacking their left flank and play offside.

This is one of the reasons why he announced the starting list in advance, just to paralyze Van Aker.

Judging from the first three and 10 minutes of the game, his tactics have achieved good results.

But no matter how his tactics are adjusted, what cannot be changed is the player's turning speed.So when Yu Liang hit him with a long pass from the right, he immediately became nervous.If Yu Liang discovered his tactical arrangement, then all previous efforts would be wasted, but if it was just a simple change of attack direction, then he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

After watching the team's offense being intercepted by Antwerp again, Haiert looked nervously at Yu Liang who was dribbling the ball.

Seeing that Yu Liang gave the ball to Gibson on the right, Haiert immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That pass should have been just trying to change things up..."
