[football] walk side by side

Cyril seized this opportunity very well.

At the same moment when Prasir passed the ball, Cyril turned around in an instant, and before Sionko could respond, he kicked the football hard. Flew to the front field!

If you want to increase the speed and rhythm in the game, the easiest way is to give up the short pass coordination and directly pass the long pass to the forward field!

"Slade successfully snatched the ball from Placiel's feet, a long pass! Beautiful! Ronaldo received the ball in the frontcourt... oooh!!" As he spoke, the commentator couldn't help shouting up.

None, because Portugal's change worked.

From Cyril's counterattack from Prasir's feet, to Cristiano's sudden acceleration, and at exactly the same time when he received Cyril's long pass from the backcourt, it was only a short moment.

No matter how fast the Czech players are, they cannot match the speed of football.

When Portugal, who is good at fine coordination on the ground, suddenly made such a sharp counterattack, the Czech Republic was unable to react for a while.When Cristiano received the ball in front of the penalty area, even though Pollack frantically chased it back, it was too late!

This is the best chance to shoot. Of course, Cristiano will not let the Czech come back to interfere with his shot. He adjusted the angle and was about to shoot!

He was originally headed for the left corner.

But at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, what Cyril reminded everyone in the locker room before the game suddenly came to his mind——

"If you can find a chance to shoot, try to kick as far as possible to the bottom right. If you can't find a chance, you can also do it to the left, but it's best if it's a low ball."

"Cech seldom has problems with half-high shots and high-ball saves. His flaws are now mainly concentrated in the lower three. If you grasp this point, scoring goals will not be so difficult."

Cech is indeed an excellent goalkeeper, but he also has his flaws.

As his teammate in the club, Cyril is naturally aware of this. In every game, Cyril pays attention not only to the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent's players, but also to the performance of his own teammates. Well.And Cech's blind spot in saving was also analyzed by Cyril based on the goals conceded by Chelsea in the Champions League this season.

But these are all reflections and analyzes after the end of the Champions League. It was a holiday at that time, and of course it was impossible for Cyril to make a special phone call to tell Cech where his faults were. He directly mentioned that in order to avoid misunderstanding, it is the best choice to discuss with the coaching staff.

However, what Cyril himself didn't expect was that the analysis he made would come in handy in the European Cup so quickly.

At this moment, Cristiano no longer has the Czech defensive players who followed him closely, which invisibly gave him more shooting angles to choose from.

He kicked the ball to the bottom right of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo! A counterattack from Portugal! Beautiful and fast attack, less than 3 minutes into the second half, Portugal took the lead to score another goal to overtake the Czech Republic, 2-1!"

The change this goal brought to Portugal is earth-shaking.

During the intermission, the Portuguese players regained their confidence and morale because of Scolari's well-founded tactical analysis. At this time, Cristiano even proved the effectiveness of Scolari's tactics with actual goals. Correctness, which made them more confident in winning the game and more motivated when performing their respective duties.

As a result, the pressure quickly shifted to the Czech side.

The opening fast break was not a well-prepared trap, nor was it a short-lived accident. It was the epitome of the second half of the game. Barely keeping up with Portugal's rhythm, occasionally withdrawing to counterattack while defending, but as the game passed, the situation began to become more unfavorable for the Czech Republic.

Czech Republic is starting to run out of steam.

thought Cyril.

This is what he expected during the halftime break. Seeing all this happening in front of him at this moment, he didn't have any unexpected emotions in his heart, but the other Portuguese players were more excited-everyone It can be seen that the Czech Republic is dying.

"Since the second half of the game, the situation on the field has changed a lot. In the first half, Bruckner used his brutal defense to cut off the connection between Portugal's midfield and frontcourt. Scolari also quickly responded in the second half. Facing Portugal, which has significantly accelerated the passing speed, the Czech Republic was at a loss. From the first minute of the second half to the present, they have not even been able to play a decent attack..."

"Grigera and Rozenal can no longer limit Ronaldo's performance well. Portugal has driven the whole with their individual outstanding performance. Now their rhythm has become very fast. Ronaldo deserves to be the best player in the Champions League this season. Player, the Czech defense based on physical confrontation can no longer trap him!"

"Now Portugal has completely taken advantage of the field, and the Czech Republic is in danger!"

On the coaching bench of Portugal, Scolari finally relaxed a lot after seeing Portugal gaining an advantage again. At this moment, he was even in the mood to talk to the assistant coach about the topic they had discussed countless times——

"Look, isn't he doing well?"

Scolari looked confident, in contrast to assistant coach Piña, who was less approving, insisting: "Maybe you're right, but at least so far, none of this can be done. What to prove." He paused, and then his eyes returned to Cristiano on the court: "The most important thing is-you are too indulgent to Ronaldo, Luis, with all due respect, maybe you think you are giving He has room to play, but I think you're going to destroy him by doing that."

Pigna's unceremonious words made Scolari's eyebrows jump slightly. He is not the kind of arbitrary head coach, which is why Pigna dared to speak out. The head coach, it is estimated that there will be a quarrel on the spot.

But Scolari was not.

Therefore, the Brazilian coach just frowned slightly: "Why do you think so?"

Pigna did not directly answer his question, he said bluntly: "In fact, until now, I still reserve my opinion-Ronaldo is not suitable to be the captain of this team, yes, I cannot deny He's a very good player, maybe on the verge of becoming the best player in the world, but he doesn't have the composure you need as a captain."

"You can't deny it, Luis," Pigna shook his head, "although Ronaldo has improved a lot in this area, but... when he faces difficulties and the team loses its rules, he often doesn't think about how to do it." Get order back into the team - he'll stop working with his team-mates and try to help the team score goals through his brute force."

"As a team leader, this shortcoming is almost fatal."

Scolari was silent.

As the current coach of Portugal, he certainly knows that what Pigna said is true.It seems that Ronaldo is not as independent as he used to be, but in fact, this kind of "independence" is more like being suppressed by him in his heart. In normal games, he can cooperate happily with his teammates, but once the ball When the team as a whole encounters difficulties, he will lose control.

For the leader of a team, when the team encounters setbacks as a whole, not only does he not want to solve it, but tries to rely on his own personal ability to save the team.

This is indeed one of Ronaldo's flaws.

But it is also a defect that makes Scolari powerless at the current stage.

"You're right, Ronaldo still has fatal flaws that he shouldn't have as a leader-but isn't that why I chose Slade as the vice-captain?" Scolari saw that Pigna had thoughts To retort, he waved his hand and signaled the other party to listen to himself first: "I know, you always think that Slade is more suitable than Ronaldo in the position of captain..."

Pigna asked: "Isn't it?"

To his surprise, Scolari shook his head: "No."

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Cyril Slade!! Goal! What a beautiful goal! The ball was scored from Cech's right and the Czech goalkeeper could only watch as the ball slipped through his fingertips !Like we said before - Slade is a very complete player, he can steal the ball and organize the attack, and of course he can shoot!"

"The Czech Republic thought they could sit back and relax as long as they kept an eye on Ronaldo, but they forgot that Slade's forward drive was equally deadly! Portugal scored another goal in the No.701 minute of the game. Now the score is 3-1. The Czech Republic may have to Lost this match..."

While the two were talking, Cyril volleyed in front of the goal to help Portugal score another goal!

The Czech Republic's defense became more rigorous after the score fell behind. However, they stared at Ronaldo, Simao, and even Deco and Gomes were guarded extremely firmly, but they ignored the Portuguese team. Organized the midfielder and silenced Cyril for almost the whole game!

However, it was such an oversight that dealt a fatal blow to the Czech Republic!

Cech was always wary of his club teammate, but he couldn't bear the fact that Cyril's kick was the lower three that he was not good at, because even though he judged the right direction, he still could only let the ball go. Goal.

But all this did not affect the conversation between Scolari and Pigna.

Scolari continued: "Ronaldo does have flaws that shouldn't exist as a leader, but... Slade also has his fatal flaws."

Pigna frowned, looking skeptical, as if he didn't believe Scolari's words.

But at this moment, the Portuguese coach did not intend to explain to him in detail. Scolari shook his head with a smile, with an extremely calm expression on his face.

"I have already made what I think is the best choice. As for how far we can go in this European Cup under the leadership of these two people... I will leave it to fate to decide."

The author has something to say: Feihei, you can still read the Euro 08 news and you can still see that you Luo was repeatedly mentioned about the problem of being reckless and not cooperating with teammates. The semi-final against Germany was eliminated. In addition to Scolari’s tactics, Portugal’s own problems In addition to not being resolved, the lack of communication between Luo Er and his teammates is also a key point.

And problems like this are used to solve w
