Chapter 59 Hard fight
Falling behind, no matter any team will fight back.The Marseille team naturally strengthened their offense.

Since the re-kick-off, the Marseille team's advancement speed and kicking rhythm have been significantly accelerated.And they have also obviously strengthened their attack on Thrall.Fortunately, with Terry's assistance, there were no fatal loopholes for the time being.

Marseille's offense flocked to Nice like a storm.Under their strong pressure, the leading Nice team had to focus on defense instead.

In this way, it also allowed the Marseille team to take the initiative on the field.

Under the ferocious offensive of the Marseille team, dangerous situations continued to appear in front of the Nice team.

This made the Nice fans in the stands nervous. "What should we do? The Marseilles are attacking so fiercely! Can we stop it?"

At this time, Sun Yi also realized that the Nice team was in a dangerous situation, so he hurried to the technical area.

"Tact No. 1, implement No. [-] Tactic from now on." Sun Yi stretched out a finger and shouted at the field.

The No. [-] tactic is actually to shrink the defense. After absorbing the opponent's attack, after the opponent presses heavily, he will make a quick counterattack whenever he has the opportunity.And the main counterattack starts from the two flanks.This is a set of play Sun Yi formulated for the Nice team based on "Mu's Counterattack".In the last game against Lille, he used this trick to let the Nice team break the deadlock.

In the last game, he took the initiative to do so, but this time he was forced to do so.

But in Sun Yi's view, this tactic is the best way to deal with the current situation.

Under Sun Yi's command, the Nice team began to shrink their defense.Balotelli, who was originally at the top, also retreated to the half, even slightly behind Salah and Praia on the two wings.

The Marseille team has a controlled style of play and likes to use the width of the court to play.After the Nice team shrunk back to the half, Marseille's offense encountered great difficulties.

This allowed the Nice team to gradually stabilize their position in front of the powerful offensive of the Marseille team.And their occasional counterattacks from the two flanks are also quite threatening.

Marseille's threat to Nice's goal began to diminish.

But the Marseille team deserves to be a strong team, and their coach Garcia is also not slow to respond.The Marseille team was soon asked to strengthen the use of cross balls and set-piece tactics.

I said before that the Marseille team has a strong ability to defend against high-altitude balls.As for the high-altitude ball, if you can defend it, you can naturally attack it.

When the Marseille team changed their tactics, their high-altitude ball and set-piece ability immediately posed a great threat to the Nice team.

Fortunately, the Nice team also has a legendary defender like Terry.Under his command, the Nice team's defense has survived several crises of conceding goals.

Seeing Terry's role in the defense, Sun Yi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, there is a veteran like Terry in charge.It is true that an old family is like a treasure.

However, the good times didn't last long. When the game was approaching 10 minutes, due to the decline in physical fitness, after Thrall made another mistake, Terry failed to make up in time.This allowed Marseille striker Gomis to seize the opportunity, and his shot in the penalty area blasted open the gate guarded by goalkeeper Cardinale.

1: 1.

"Hey! It was evened."

"Thr made another fatal mistake. He is still too young."

"For such an important game, someone who is more mature should come up. Thrall is too young to bear the pressure."

After seeing the score being equalized, many people in the Nice team began to feel that Thrall was too pretentious.

Sun Yi was also a little disappointed that the score was equalized.But he didn't mean to blame Thrall.In his view, mistakes are inevitable in the game, and it is even more inevitable to be scored by the opponent.That's the price you have to pay to let young players grow.

If there is a better choice, Sun Yi will naturally not let Thrall bear these pressures.Will arrange a more relaxed growth environment for him.

In the next game, the two sides did not score again.After that, the first half ended with a score of 1:1.

At the end of the first half, the lead was lost, which was indeed a blow to the Nice team.And the one who was hit the hardest was naturally Thrall.

Although Terry was comforting Sal all the way back to the locker room, Sal still had an expression of guilt and frustration on his face.And when he met Sun Yi's gaze, he lowered his head even more evasively.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi went over and patted Sal on the shoulder, and left him behind before entering the locker room.

After everyone entered the locker room, he said to Thrall: "You made two mistakes in the first half."

"Yes." Sal's head drooped almost to his chest.

"Remember those two mistakes of yours. Don't make them again in the second half."

"Okay." Thrall raised his head slightly.What Sun Yi said meant that he still trusted him in the second half.

"Mistakes and mistakes are unavoidable for anyone. For a defender, the key is to remember the lesson and try not to make it again in the future. Keep your head up and play well in the second half. I believe you will play better." A smile appeared on Sun Yi's face, and he patted Sal's shoulder vigorously with his hand.

Sal raised his head obediently, seeing Sun Yi's trusting expression, he felt a warmth in his heart.Then nodded heavily. "Coach, I get it. I'll do my best."

"Okay. Let's go in." Sun Yi smiled and walked into the locker room with his arms around Sal.

Seeing Sun Yi returning to the locker room with Sal in his arms, many people were relieved.

Thrall is the youngest in the team, but he is usually studious and polite to everyone, so he is very popular with the big brothers in the team.Like Terry even treated him like an apprentice a little bit.

When Sun Yi left Thrall outside, everyone thought that Sun Yi was going to get angry at Thrall.are very worried.

Looking at the situation now, everyone knew that Thrall should not have received too much blame.

After Sun Yi came in, he cleared his throat and began to summarize: "In the first half, everyone played well. Basically completed the tasks assigned by the coaching staff before the game. However, everyone needs to pay attention to mistakes and fouls."

"In the second half, the Marseille team should continue to maintain the style of play in the second half of the first half. Therefore, after the kick-off, everyone should be cautious at the beginning. We still implement the No. [-] tactic in the second half. However, we need to strengthen it press.

Especially the pressing after half-time.Everyone's pressing speed should be fast, but don't take it lightly.Fewer fouls, less opportunities for them to set the ball.

It may not be easy to play early in the second half.Therefore, everyone must be mentally prepared to play harder.And after seven or 10 minutes, our physical fitness declined, so we took advantage of our better physical fitness to launch a counterattack..."
