Array football

Chapter 19 World!boundary!Wave!
"Lost? Lost the ball?"

Mills looked at the football bouncing in the goal with a dull expression.

It's like you won 500 million, and when you go to receive the prize, someone tells you that the winner is not you, but just has the same name as you...

The full expectation in his heart collided with the cruel reality, which caused Mills to look a little dazed in the next game.

Fortunately, Captain Dunn was so strong that he kept filling Mills' butt.Although Middlesbrough got a few more chances, they finally failed to score.

After Middlesbrough's opening three tricks ended, they retreated.Manchester City, who played away, showed their ferocious fangs.

The ball starts to get to Samaras and Andy Cole.

But immediately, the two forwards of Manchester City found that the situation was different: once they approached the front field 30 meters, they found that they were followed by a strong Middlesbrough slugger.

Standing on the sidelines with arms folded, Southgate glanced at Duncan proudly: If you still arrange the same tactics as in the last game, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Before the game, Southgate deliberately studied Duncan's tactics in the last game and found that Manchester City's shots all came from his own striker combination.

None of the other players took a single shot!
This discovery made Southgate feel like a treasure.He believes that he has caught Duncan's tactical goal, as long as he defends this pair of striker partners, he can prevent Manchester City's offense.

So it was specially arranged for Samaras and Andy Cole, each with a bodyguard.

From now on, the effect is immediate, and Manchester City has not gotten any good opportunities so far.

Southgate took a special look at Duncan, but found that Duncan didn't even look at him, causing Southgate to waste his expression in vain.

Samaras and Andy Cole were in a tough fight.

Although the tacit understanding between them is still there, the personal service of the two Misburg savages has turned the ball into a luxury. If the ball can't be passed, how can they play together?
Therefore, Manchester City's frontcourt players fell into a situation of fighting alone.

Diop couldn't stand it anymore: "Duncan, don't you think we should make changes?"

Duncan asked, "What changed?"

"Don't you think it's more appropriate to give the ball to someone else?" Diop said.

Until now, he still doesn't understand why Duncan made the tactical decision of "everyone pass the ball to Samaras and Andy Cole".

Although the team won the last game, the opponent Wigan Athletic in that game is really not a strong team.And it happened that Samaras "broke out" in time again, so Diop believed that luck accounted for the majority in that game.

But it's different now. The opponent in this game is Middlesbrough, who reached the UEFA Cup final last season.Just looking at Middlesbrough's defenders, they are better than the relegation Wigan, not 01:30.

Then if you give the ball to Samaras and Andy Cole so stupidly, isn't that pure death?

It's fine for you to die alone, don't drag the whole Manchester City team to be buried with you!
If thought can be turned into sword light, then Duncan must have been chopped into a pulp by Diop's resentment by now.

"I think...except for not scoring a goal, everything else is pretty good." Duncan said.

Although Manchester City's offense was limited by Southgate's team, this was done at the expense of their own offense.Middlesbrough's two central defenders were firmly pinned down by Samaras and Andy Cole, but even so, Samaras was still able to find opportunities under close pressure.

This forced one of Middlesbrough's midfielders to also step back to help.

The three of them barely made the pass between Samaras and Andy Cole not so smooth, but as long as the pass is made, the opponent can always receive the football.

"It's amazing!" The commentator on duty looked at the technical statistics: "So far, the success rate of the pass between Samaras and Andy Cole is still 100%! This is... too Are you exaggerating?"

"Obviously, Middlesbrough has a thorough understanding of Manchester City's tactics. They know that the most threatening people in Manchester City are this pair, so they have made a lot of targeted arrangements. Although the scene is stalemate, but look at the pass success rate , which shows that Middlesbrough did not really limit the pair of Manchester City!"

On the coaching bench of the home team, Solengate was calm and composed: "Even if your pass success rate is high? You don't have any chance to kick the ball at all!"

Yes, even the fans can see that although Manchester City's striker combination can control the ball at their feet, they have lost the space to shoot.

Can't kick, no matter how gorgeous the data is, it can't be transformed into a real score advantage.

Samaras also realized this. He barely kicked his foot, but the football he shot was weak and was easily confiscated by the Middlesbrough goalkeeper.

Samaras was a little helpless, looking at Middlesbrough's goal with his hips akimbo.

Andy Cole came up and pointed to the off-court: "Do you remember what the boss said before we went on the court?"

"The boss said he wanted me to cooperate with you. Don't hesitate when you can kick." Samaras said.

"Is there another sentence in the back?"

"Later... Let me think about it, the boss said, when the situation cannot be opened. Do you want to strengthen the long-range shot?" Samaras scratched his head and hesitated.

He has not forgotten, but Samaras is self-aware, he is not a powerful striker, his advantage lies in header ferrying and dribbling, and he is not a beast like Drogba.

Although he usually trains, Samaras' long-range shooting skills are very average.Whenever he practiced long shots, Samaras had to run to Manchester United next door to pick up the ball.

So although Duncan asked for a long shot before the game, Samaras lacked confidence and still wanted to hit the goal in the penalty area through cooperation.

"Try a long shot." Andy Cole patted Samaras on the shoulder and gave him a smile.

To be honest, Andy Cole now trusts Duncan even more than Samaras since he experienced the magical tacit understanding.

The next game, Middlesbrough found Samaras starting to drop back, away from their own box.Middlesbrough's stalwart defender did not follow, Southgate only asked him to press Samaras in the frontcourt, because Southgate had studied Samaras.

Long-range shooting is obviously not what he is good at.

Without Samaras, only Andy Cole is left in the restricted area, and the threat is small.

Mido passed the ball to Samaras, because near the middle circle, Middlesbrough's midfielder did not come up to defend immediately, allowing Samaras to turn around calmly.

At this time, 50 meters away from the goal, it is obviously not a good time to shoot.

Samaras took a step forward, and Andy Cole retreated to respond, and made a wall-hitting cooperation with him. After Samaras took the ball again, the distance from the goal had advanced to 40 meters.

The Middlesbrough midfielder was already up, but Samaras kept him firmly on the other side.

36 meters, 35 meters, 33 meters...

Middlesbrough's macho central defender has been activated and is ready to make "close contact" with Samaras again.

It's now!

Samaras suddenly leaned heavily on the Middlesbrough players behind him, leaving a buffer for the two.Then gently move the ball forward and look up.

He wants a long shot!

The hunky central defender rushing up immediately had such thoughts, and then covered his crotch with his hands and turned his head sideways, for fear of being hit in a vital part.

Samaras stepped forward with his left foot, swung his right leg, and then hit the football hard with the outer instep of his right foot.

"It's now!" Duncan cried inwardly.

At the moment the football was shot, Duncan could clearly see that Andy Cole and Samaras went dark and bright at the same time in the formation system, and a big "far" burst out on the small circle representing Samaras. shoot +27".

That's right, the primary function of the two dragons out of the water array is to increase the tacit understanding between the two.After reaching the intermediate level, the new function is to instantly superimpose half of the long-range shooting ability of the partner.

In the original data, Samaras' long-range shooting ability is only 62, and Andy Cole is even lower, only 56.

And this temporarily added new function of "instantly increasing the partner's long-range shooting ability by half" made Samaras' instant long-range shooting ability 62+28=90.

Of course, this "superposition" has an upper limit, the highest is 100.

It is equivalent to two people fighting together!
This value is already comparable to Gerrard, Kaka, Ballack and other long-range shooting masters!
With a strong fall, the football flew into the goal while the Middlesbrough goalkeeper was stunned.

"World! World! Wave! goooooooooooooooooooal!"
