The score on the field was 1:1, but Santos, the young coach, always felt uneasy.
The spirit displayed by Real Madrid was completely different from the arrogance and arrogance he imagined.
Pragmatic spirit!
right!
It is the pragmatic spirit. He saw this quality in Real Madrid. An arrogant team will make people perform miracles and may even lose to teams in lower leagues.
But with a Real Madrid team that puts down their stature and is pragmatic, does Porto have a chance to win?
Santos feels that his understanding of Real Madrid has not been comprehensive at all.
Porto has good foot skills, and his disciples have been passing and receiving the ball without losing it.
But being forced so hard, can they really persevere?
In the 29th minute, midfielder Deco made a rare mistake when taking the ball.
Lin Supo rushed up to press, but Deco spiked the ball to avoid Lin Supo. When he turned around again, he lost control of his feet and passed the ball directly to Redondo, who came up to press.
Redondo received the ball and immediately passed it straight to Lin Supo. Lin Supo didn't stick to the ball when he got it, and immediately passed it diagonally to Savio.
Savio faces Esquiertinha again.
Due to his playing habits and preferred foot, Savio can exert his greatest power on the left wing, while his breakthrough ability has dropped a bit on the right wing.
But even so, Savio is still as unstoppable as the green magician.
The moment Esquiertinha stretched out his foot, Savio smashed the ball with his right foot and forced his way into the penalty area. Before other defensive players could come to cover, Savio had already passed the ball towards the penalty area.
When Lin Supo rushed forward to header the ball, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Offside, Lin Supo is offside."
"Porto uses the offside trap very skillfully. Lin Supo and Totti frequently fell into the opponent's offside trap today. This is not a player's problem. When attacking, offensive players have an advantage, but things like offside or not are really defensive.
Players have an advantage because they can judge the timing of passing the ball in advance, and moving their feet can easily cause offensive players to fall into the offside trap."
"Yes, if the offside trap is not used skillfully, it is easy for the opponent to successfully counter the offside, but Porto has obviously practiced this offside tactic. The two central defenders Costa and Fax usually have only one behind them.
They were not prepared to defend Real Madrid's strong offensive line at all, they just stayed at the end and waited for the offensive players to fall into the offside trap."
"If Real Madrid wants to destroy the opponent's offside tactics now, it must involve more players in the offense. If there are more offensive players, Porto must let more defenders participate in the defense, which will make it easier to fail in offside attempts."
That's absolutely correct.
But if more players participate in the attack, it will be easier for the opponent to counterattack.
So football is a game between two teams, between players and players, and between coaches. If you make an adjustment first, you may gain an advantage. If you want to wait and then adjust, problems may arise.
This is the on-the-spot command issue that Wenger has been criticized for.
There is nothing to say about Wenger's tactical qualities and other aspects, but Wenger is the kind of coach who likes to arrange detailed tactics, and it is not easy for him to adjust his tactics.
You need to talk to the players a lot every time before you can make tactical adjustments.
That’s why Wenger ended up with a reputation for not being good at on-the-spot command. I don’t think about it, if he really wasn’t good at on-the-spot command, would Wenger be able to achieve results as a coach at Arsenal?
Can Manchester United break Manchester United's monopoly on the championship as soon as they arrive in the Premier League?
It’s not that Wenger wants to adjust too little, it’s that he wants to adjust too much.
The more ideas people have, the slower they are at making changes.
Del Bosque had already discovered a loophole in Porto's tactics. Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he called Savio to the sidelines and said: "Tell them to push forward more. Let's try our best to attack today."
"Okay, got it, coach."
Savio nodded and said.
Del Bosque's tactical adjustment is that simple.
If it's Wenger's adjustment, he will tell the players where your opponent's landing points are, which can be exploited, and how other teammates should take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses.
This is an advantage and a disadvantage.
For example, Ferguson, Wenger's old rival, was very quick to adjust.
In his coaching career, there have been countless substitutions that played a key role, and there have been many consecutive days without the same starting lineup.
This is the difference between Ferguson and Wenger.
Ferguson prefers to prepare for the opponent before the game and give the players a certain framework when they get on the field. When the time comes, adjustments will be within the framework, so it is easier to adjust tactics.
The players on the field heard Bosque's tactical arrangements and immediately launched a more intense offensive.
When Raul gets the ball on the left, there are always at least two defensive players targeting him. This is the impact of Raul's "golden boy" reputation. When Lin Supo gets the ball, he faces even more defensive players.
.
In the 42nd minute, Lin Supo received Raul's cross and rushed forward with the ball. Chainiao and Peshe rushed to Lin Supo immediately, and Jedda, a winger, also rushed from the right.
Lin Supo.
Defensive players rely on their bodies, while offensive players rely on their minds.
This is the most common situation when defending. Jida never made a move and just stared at the rhythm of Lin Supo's feet.
Although Lin Supo is now dribbling the ball in small steps, Jada has discovered through observations during the opening period that Lin Supo will switch between small steps and long strides.
When he wants to speed up, he will immediately switch to a long pace. This is the opportunity Jada is waiting for.
coming!
When he discovered that Lin Supo knocked the ball behind Chain'ao, Jada knew that the opportunity had come.
He was reserved when he rushed towards the ball, because he was not trying to fight for the ball in the first place, but was preparing to take action and poke the ball away the moment Lin Supo touched it.
When Lin Supo touched the ball with his right foot, Jada stretched out his foot and poked the ball to the left.
Raul got the ball before Saritao and passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Portugal goalkeeper Baia jumped high and grabbed the ball.
"Porto did a very good job defensively today."
"Hey, yes, both teams are very fast in offense and defense, and the defense is also very distinctive. Because of Lin Supo's playing style, Real Madrid presses the opponent when they get the ball, while Porto is more of a delayer and waits for teammates.
We come up together to help defend. If we can't let the offensive player pass, we have to use an offside trap."
"Yes, so even though there are only two goals now, the technical and tactical levels displayed by both sides are among the top in Europe. Santos, a coach in his early 40s, is considered a young coach in European football. When he played, he was from Benfica.
After his debut, he retired when he was 21 years old and felt that there was no development in football. However, his coaching career was very successful. After retiring, he obtained a doctorate in electromechanical and communications, which is a highly educated football coach. He returned to football in 1987.
He quickly showed his coaching talent. He took over his old club Estoris and stayed there for seven years, leading the team to the Portuguese top league twice. In 1998, he joined Porto and helped the team win the league championship in his first season.
, plus two cup titles. This is only his second season coaching Porto, but this experienced young coach will definitely not be satisfied with just qualifying for the Champions League group."
"The referee blew the halftime whistle. After Real Madrid returned to the locker room, they must find a way to deal with Porto's defense. Today Totti and Lin Supo frequently fell into the offside trap, and Raul did not perform well on the left.
Showing his strength, the most outstanding offensive player on the field is Savio on the right."
"Savio's offensive ability is very good. The left wing he formed with Carlos was the most formidable left wing combination in European football. He cannot produce the same effect on the right wing."
As he walked to the locker room, Totti had an impatient look on his face.
Rather than running more distance, this kind of situation of constantly falling into the opponent's offside trap will wear down the players' patience. Totti himself is not a good-tempered person, and he often gets hot-headed, which is the easiest situation to get into.
Lin Supo put his arm around Totti's shoulders and persuaded him, "Don't take it too seriously. We can definitely find a way."
"What can we do?" Totti shouted: "Those guys are like rats in the gutter, they always hide and cause offside."
"Perhaps we can try you dropping back to play as an attacking midfielder. We worked well together in the past. Your ability to grasp passing opportunities when playing as an attacking midfielder will definitely be better. As long as you show your strength, then I can form a one-man attack.
"
Lin Supo said.
"Yes!" Totti said excitedly: "You are so smart. They will definitely not be able to guard against my pass, so let's do it."
After thinking of a solution, Totti no longer kept a straight face.
After returning to the locker room.
Del Bosque said to the players: "Our opponents are very good in tactical arrangements, so we cannot underestimate every opponent. I will make adjustments to our tactics today."
Bosque wrote on the tactical board and continued: "The two full-backs will strengthen the attack later. You need to step in more to help your teammates create opportunities. We mainly play on the right, and Saritao has better turning speed.
I can’t keep up with you, do you understand what I mean?”
"Got it coach!"
Lin Supo and Totti were quietly replenishing their physical strength at the side.
Totti can't wait to get back on the court and teach his opponents a lesson.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides returned to the player tunnel, with solemn expressions on the faces of the players from both teams.
No one dares to underestimate their opponents.
Both Real Madrid and Porto found that their opponents were more difficult to deal with than they thought.
After returning to the court for kick-off, the two sides entered a phase of testing each other.
In the first 45 minutes, we have become familiar with the opponent's style, but next we need to see what adjustments the opponent has made during the halftime break.
Therefore, there was no scene of Mars hitting the Earth in the opening stage of the second half.
The second half lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the offenses of both sides gradually improved. Neither coach had any intention of making substitutions, and both teams fielded their strongest lineups.
In the 74th minute, Jorge Costa passed the ball to Chainio in the backcourt, and Chainio sent a long pass with his right foot to find Lubinko Drulovic on the left.
Salgado went up to press, but Lubinko Drulovic accelerated the ball and passed it. Drulovic dribbled the ball down quickly, attracting Redondo to fill in.
Before Redondo could rush in front of him, Lubinko Drulovich had already made a 45-degree pass into the penalty area.
Jardel started quickly again, but this time Cesar, the Brazilian defender, saw through his compatriot's calculations. He followed Jardel and took two steps back before standing still. The ball landed exactly where Cesar judged.
Cesar, who had taken a good position in advance, jumped up and shook his head to push the ball out of the penalty area.
"pretty!
!”
"Cesar's performance this time was very good. In the first half, he and Hierro made mistakes in cooperation and conceded the ball, but now he is gradually finding his form."
“Let’s see Real Madrid’s counterattack!”
Helguera did not dare to pass the ball long after receiving the ball. His long passing skills were very average and he could only pass it horizontally to Carlos.
Carlos quickly rushed forward after receiving the ball. His speed can be called a "fighter" among defenders, and he crossed the center line almost in the blink of an eye.
"Carlos dribbled the ball himself, and Chain'o rushed to defend. Carlos unreasonably used his speed to eat the opponent alive. Carlos dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area in the frontcourt and made a pass!
!”
Carlos used his speed to force a break through Saritao on the left.
Along the way, he made several breakthroughs by using his speed and body to eat the opponent alive. Such simple and crude breakthroughs had no solution.
After getting rid of Saritao, Carlos raised his left foot and sent a cross.
Lin Supo deliberately started a little slower this time, but he was very fast with his feet. When he ran into the penalty area, he found that his position was further forward than where the ball came from.
At this moment, there was no time for Lin Supo to hesitate. Lin Supo raised the heel of his left foot, and a scorpion swung his heel hard onto the ball.
boom--
After a huge noise, the ball flew towards Porto's goal like a shell.
Baiya couldn't react at all, he just stood there and made a background board.
"Lin Supo!
!
!”
"Lin Supo!
!
!”
"Lin Supo!
!
!”
"Lin Supo scored a goal, the scorpion swung its tail, Lin Supo scored a world wave!"
"This time Carlos's pass did not determine Lin Supo's position, but Lin Supo still used an unimaginable action to send the ball into the goal."
"When Lin Supo shot this time, his body was almost completely intact. This also shows how high he raised his feet. Carlos's passing height was also wrong. A different striker would never have been able to score."
"Lin Supo's passing and shooting at home helped Real Madrid take the lead. There are still more than 10 minutes left in the game. Porto must attack hard if they don't want to lose."
Santos, who had been doing nothing, directly made three substitutions: Alessandro Cambarhota, Rubens and Miróx Fahey, and three consecutive offensive players came on the bench.
Porto is ready to fight to the death.
Del Bosque replaced Savio with Seedorf.
Lin Supo, Totti and Raul returned to defense together, giving Porto no chance to score.
In the 94th minute, after Lin Supo successfully tackled Deco's ball in the backcourt, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
