Handsome position is not easy

Chapter 100 Head-to-head ([-])
Alenichev's goal set off the prelude to Porto's attack frenzy. Accompanied by the roar of the Asantas Stadium, the whole team went completely crazy. Even Secretario, who needed to suppress Simao, repeatedly Plug in, at the most exaggerated time, except for the three defensive players, the remaining seven people in Porto were pressed into Benfica's half-court siege.

But after the recovery of Benfica's formation, the stability of the defense has risen by more than one or two levels. Ferreira decisively changed to 4-2-3-1 when the team was under heavy pressure, and put Simao in the front midfielder. And Jankauskas, everyone else retreated to their own half.

After conceding two goals, Robert Enke seemed to have regained his previous state. In the next 20 minutes, Porto scored [-] shots and [-] shots on target, but all of them were saved by Enke bravely or directly. Confiscated, Benfica is like a small boat that is about to sink in the wind and waves, but Enke, the helmsman, can always stabilize the keel and sides that are about to fall apart at the last moment.

Although Porto's offense is as aggressive as fire, it is also better than continuous turbulent waves, but the philosophy on the court can never escape the principle of rigidity, because Young and Costinha are a bit too forward, and Capucho returns. He made a misjudgment when making the pass, and directly passed it to Carrado, who was cruising around the top of the penalty area. The Benfica captain followed up with another precise long pass, and found Simao, who was running at the center line.

In all fairness, Simao, who was originally on the left winger position, is not suitable for the attacking midfielder. His current role is between the forward midfielder and the shadow forward. This is a new tactic developed by Ferreira before. Tony, who was too traditional and rigid in the formation, did not adopt it, and did not propose it again until Ferreira took office.

Simao's dribbling and scoring skills are no worse than Porto's Zhengyin midfielder Deco, but the lack of overall view makes him can only be firmly pressed on the two sides no matter whether he is in Barcelona or Benfica, but Ferre The counterattack tactics created by La avoided Simao's weakness, and his role in this position was more to attract defense.

Yes, this may seem a bit wasteful, but it is not. Simao can maximize the weakening of the opponent's midfielder in the middle to take care of the two wings. These big men must concentrate on staring at him to ensure that they will not be torn apart suddenly. A huge opening.

At the same time, João Thomas and Mantolas on the side can use their bodies to suppress Porto's two full-backs. It is difficult for Secretario and Mario Silva to stop their strong opponents. The field has formed a situation where one's own strengths attack the other's weaknesses. The next thing that can determine the progress of the game is the quality of Benfica's counterattack.

At this time, Simao faced only Pavlin who was lagging behind. The Slovenian international did not dare to go up blindly. All he could do was to keep retreating and call for help from his teammates. Ricardo, who needs to mark Jankauskas, may be allowed to assist Pavlin.

Mourinho saw Simao's deep-seated intentions. He wanted to draw a Porto central defender from the penalty area. This is a very simple time difference play, and the gap is at the same time. For Torras and Mario, the Angolan striker's speed was indeed too fast, and he opened the distance with Mario in just a few steps.

Mourinho yelled to tell Andrade not to attack, but it was too late. The 22-year-old Portuguese central defender rushed out quickly. His target was obviously Simao, who was still confronting Pavlin. At the same time, the African nicknamed "Black Antelope" had thrown Mario four or five positions away.

Simao narrowed his eyes slightly, and everything that happened on the field was in line with his expectations. When Andrade was two or three meters away from him, Simao suddenly got into trouble, and his feet shook continuously at an extremely fast frequency, and he easily passed by Pavlin, whose mentality was slightly relaxed due to the arrival of his teammates, pulled out the gap, tapped the outside of his right foot obliquely, and sent the ball directly to Mantolas, who was fully up to speed.

The Angolan striker did not disappoint his teammate's wonderful pass, in fact there is nothing to live up to, he just needs to stop the ball and continue to move forward. Only Ricardo Silva is left in Porto's penalty area, dragging the central defender The task is to stare down Jankauskas, what can he do to effectively stop Benfica's double ghost knocking on the door by himself?

The Lithuanian international was smart enough to distance himself from his teammates. This is the trick of two-on-one. Seeing that Mantoras's momentum remained undiminished, Ricardo, who was already a little anxious in his eyes, immediately gave up his marking target. He shoveled in the direction of the Angolan striker's sprint.

The speed of the high school defender's landing is always slower. Mantolas just continued to the right to avoid Ricardo, who wanted to finish his work. Facing Baia, who was already sweating on his forehead, the black antelope pretended to He hit the goal directly, but took two steps with his feet, and the toe of his right foot easily cut to the bottom of the ball, giving the opportunity to a teammate who was obviously better at the back point.

It has to be said that Vitor Baia is indeed worthy of the glory of Portugal's national goal. Just seeing the adjustment at Mantolas' feet, he judged that the opponent's choice was not to hit the goal directly, and quickly turned over and flew towards the other end of the goal.

But the unmarked Jankauskas is in a good position. The speed and height of the ball passed by Mantolas are very comfortable. He can even choose the angle of the header leisurely. The Lithuanian also found it when he jumped into the air After Baier's turning around to save, Jankauskas headed back to the front point, which is a place that Baier can no longer protect with his reaction anyway.

The Porto goalkeeper who fell hard to the ground was already desperate, but he still looked to the left hand side, hoping that there would be a goalpost instead of his glove to make a contribution. Unfortunately, Jankaskas did not make this mistake. The Benfica center at this time He didn't deliberately pursue the angle, and the ball rolled into the net easily after bouncing off the ground.

The goal was scored, 2:2, and the game lasted for more than 70 minutes. Ferreira's change of formation and counterattack tactics had a miraculous effect. Because Andrade lost his position again, Benfica successfully created a two-on-one situation, and With a header from Jankauskas equalizing the score, the game was back to the starting line again.

Mourinho angrily took off his suit and smashed it to the ground. Andrade could have chosen to stay in the penalty area more intelligently. In any case, three-on-three is better than the situation just now. Pavlin faced Simao's Lu Qi also reflected the overall psychology of Porto's defense line. They have been frightened by this guy's breakthrough.

Seeing the haughty look of Ferreira stretching out two fingers, Mourinho, who was almost stunned by anger, suddenly calmed down. He knew that Benfica's highly targeted counterattack tactics had indeed hit Porto's pain points. If the two guys who were already a little timid were allowed to stay on the court, this kind of mistake would definitely not happen just once.

　It's finally on the shelves, please collect and recommend!
