Football roared in, and the Munich 1860 fans at the scene were intimidated.
clang!
The football hit the crossbar of the goal hard and bounced off the baseline.
call!
The fans of Munich 1860 took a deep breath. They were really in suspense just now and were scared to death. .??.
Tong Yi on the sidelines frowned slightly, it was a bad start.
Both wingers were beaten once by Porto's two wingers, which is not a good sign.
The Porto people showed their fangs as soon as they came up.
This is a wake-up call for the players of Munich 1860.
Tong Yi immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the players of Munich 1860 to put more pressure on the ball holder in the frontcourt and press harder. Don't let them pass the ball calmly, don't let them pass the football easily.
At the foot of the trident in the frontcourt.
As long as these three guys can't catch the ball, the threat from the Porto people will be much smaller.
The players of Munich 1860 nodded and expressed their understanding.
Then, they stepped up the pressure on Moutinho and Guarin, because Porto's troublesome offense comes from these two people. As for Fernando's ability to pass forward, he is not very strong.
Defense.
As for Porto's defense, the two central defenders are not very capable of passing the ball forward, and they are not even very capable of controlling the ball at their feet. Therefore, they have no way to organize an offense.
As long as Moutinho and Guarin are controlled, Porto's threat will be reduced by more than half.
Yes, officially because of the prevalence of high-position pressing defense in later generations, the requirements for center backs have become higher. Excellent center backs generally have the ability to pass forward or directly organize attacks. Many times, a team
The team's offense is initiated by the defense, with the center back directly launching the attack with long passes.
What's even more perverted later is that even excellent goalkeepers must have excellent ball control skills with their feet, and they must also have the ability to accurately pass long balls.
This is all caused by high-position pressing tactics that compress the space for midfielders to control the ball, pass the ball and organize attacks.
Because the opponent presses from a high position, the backcourt will definitely be free and empty.
At this time, if your goalkeeper or central defender has a precise long pass, he can directly pass the football to the feet of the offensive player in the frontcourt, directly posing a threat.
However, for now, the requirements for central defenders and goalkeepers are not that high.
After all, the popularity of high-position pressing tactics at this time was only the beginning.
Therefore, the center back and goalkeeper of Villas-Boas's Porto team have not yet reached such heights.
Rolando, Maicon and Elton are not the kind who can pass precise long passes, and even the ability to control the ball at their feet is not particularly good. Maicon is slightly better because he is a Brazilian player and played offensive football when he was young.
player
position, so he is slightly better.
However, it's actually not much better.
Therefore, Tong Yi is very right to press Moutinho and Guarin now.
Directly cutting off the connection between Porto's midfield, backcourt and frontcourt trident, Porto's threat will be greatly reduced.
However, Porto's two full-backs are very good.
To be honest, the height of Porto's defense is very high.
Left back Pereira is 185, right back Sapunalu is 187, center back Rolando is 189, and center back Maicon is 190. Moreover, these guys are also very strong and have outstanding frontal defense and control capabilities. Munich 1860 thinks
To break this line of defense, you cannot attack head-on, but must seize more space behind the opponent's defenders.
Firstly, because they are tall, their turning speed is slow.
Secondly, it is because these two full-backs are very capable of assisting. They often provide assists and cooperate with Varela and Hulk on the wing. This is also one of the strengths of this Porto team, that is, the two wings are really strong.
Fly together.
Pereira and Varela on the left have already cooperated very well, as have Sapunaru and Hulk on the right. Then they attack around Falcao, and their offensive strength is very strong.
Therefore, at this time, Munich 1860 must also pay attention to marking the two full-backs and not let them contact Varela and Hulk.
At this time, Munich 1860's high-position pressing defense was indeed able to limit them.
Here, Moutinho and Guarín failed to hold the ball and pass the ball continuously. They both handed the football to the full-backs. The full-backs also tried frantically, but the results were not very satisfactory.
"Hiss! We can see that it seems that Munich 1860's high-position pressing defense has had an effect. Although, at this time, the Porto people controlled the football. But their offensive trident was unable to get the football, and the Porto people's offense was
Restricted by Munich 1860." Fred said immediately, very excited.
Klinsmann also said, "Yes, Munich 1860 seemed to be very passive during this period, but in fact they succeeded and occupied the top spot. Because Porto's offense was restricted, their midfield and backfield were difficult."
Send the football to the feet of the forward trident, so Porto's trident is basically wasted. During this period, Porto has almost no decent offense."
To be honest, seeing this, Klinsmann appreciates Tong Yi more and more.
Klinsmann continued: "Actually, if Porto's two central defenders were more accurate in their long passes at this time, they would not be so passive. They have been forced to play long passes many times.
I looked for the trident in front, but the accuracy was too poor, and it was directly cut off by the Munich 1860 defensive players."
Indeed, just now Rolando and Maicon were forced to make three long passes to find the attacking trident in front, but they were unsuccessful and were easily defended by 1860 Munich people.
In fact, Munich 1860 does not have many defensive players at the back. If the Porto center back makes long passes more accurately, Munich 1860's defensive pressure will still be great, and it is very likely to collapse.
Fred also nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Coach Tong Yi saw this clearly when he was granted permission, so he made such an arrangement."
Klinsmann nodded slightly, wondering if this was really the case.
Then this Tong Yi is even more powerful.
Villas-Boas on the sidelines saw this situation, but he was not anxious or panicked at all. Instead, he sat calmly on the coaching bench, as if he did not see that their offense was restricted.
Same.
Boas still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
At this time, although Klinsmann felt that Munich 1860 was on top, he was still full of worries.
Munich 1860's current defense is indeed very successful, but these are very energy-consuming. Although Munich 1860 are known for their good physical fitness, can they ensure that they maintain such intensity in normal games?
You have to know that if this continues, although it will be difficult for Porto's offensive trident to get the ball for a long time, from another perspective, they will not consume much physical energy.
In the second half of the game, when the physical fitness of the 1860 people in Munich has declined a bit, at that time, if Porto's trident charges again, the 1860 people in Munich will be in danger.
Therefore, at this time, Boas was not in a hurry and was not worried at all.
If Munich 1860 wants this to not happen, then they must seize the opportunity to counterattack and score goals as soon as possible before their physical fitness declines and on the premise of doing a good job of defense. As long as they score a goal
, the balance has been broken. Porto's Trident can no longer roam around leisurely like now, accumulating energy and preparing for the decisive battle in the second half of the game.
However, for now, Munich 1860's defense is doing well, very well.
However, their offensive counterattack was not successful.
If they can't make breakthroughs and score goals offensively, then Munich 1860 will really be hanging in the balance until the second half of the game.
No wonder Klinsmann is so worried at this time.
Klinsmann couldn't help but look at Tong Yi on the sidelines. He was wondering if Tong Yi could do anything. If he didn't make adjustments, the game would really be in doubt.
However, Tong Yi on the sidelines seemed to have no intention of making changes and was still sitting firmly on the coaching bench.
Are these two head coaches too quiet today? If it were other head coaches, they would not be so calm in such an important final. They might have started showing off their teeth on the sidelines.
These two today are too elegant and easy-going.
Klinsmann looked very anxious.
This game cannot continue like this.
At this time, the game had already started for twenty minutes, and neither team had many chances. The threatening attacks of both teams came from Porto's two attacks just after the opening, which were the closest attacks so far to scoring a goal.
This game seems to be very fierce. The two sides are engaged in a fierce battle in Porto's midfield and backcourt. There are scenes of people falling on their backs from time to time. It is very fiery at first glance. However, there are really very few threatening offenses, and even there are already
For six or seven minutes, fans from both sides didn't see a shot.
Is this the final?
Both sides are so cautious!
Attack, give me the attack!
Many fans at the scene were so sleepy that they almost fell asleep.
At this moment, Nainggolan in the midfield made a fierce grab, and directly used his body to push away the thin Moutinho, and successfully intercepted the ball. He immediately saw the forward Vardy, and went straight to Rolando
behind.
good chance!
Nainggolan immediately stretched his legs and made a pass.
Boom, Nainggolan was directly pushed to the ground by Moutinho's hands, foul!
As an excellent midfield organizer, Moutinho naturally saw the space in his defense. If Nainggolan was to pass the football, the ball would be dangerous.
Therefore, he committed a foul immediately and did not hesitate to get a yellow card.
Obviously, he succeeded.
The referee did not give him a yellow card or even a verbal warning. This foul was well worth it. At the same time, Moutinho also figured out the referee's penalty scale accurately. He decided that the defensive actions in the following games could be bigger.
.
Boom!
Moutinho hadn't reacted yet, and even all the Porto players hadn't reacted yet. Nainggolan seemed to stand up slowly after falling, and then suddenly took a free kick and directly scored the football.
In the Porto penalty area.
Porto's central defenders Rolando and Maicon were shocked and immediately pounced on Costa.
But before they could pounce on him, Costa shot directly sideways, sending the football in an arc and past Elton, who was diving sideways.
The football spun at high speed and drew a wonderful arc, spinning directly into the lower corner of the goal.
The ball went in!
