After a 15-minute intermission, the two teams returned to the court.
After the start of the eastern half, Portugal continued to take the initiative to attack the Swedish team.
Then the goal at the end of the half caused a change.
Santos certainly does not want the Swedish team to take advantage of the morale boost after the equalizer to launch a counterattack against Portugal and further dampen the morale of the Portuguese players.
That goal was too much to beg for your life!
Everyone knows how they would feel if they let the wrong leg score at that moment.
Santos managed to make everyone temporarily forget about the goal in the locker room.
Of course, in that process, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was injured in the east game, also played a big role. He gave a passionate speech to cheer everyone up and get into the game in the east half!
At the beginning of the eastern half, Cristiano Ronaldo also changed into his coat, transformed into the assistant coach of the Portuguese team, and stood on the sidelines to give instructions.
The advice he put forward to Santos was also to strengthen the offensive!
He wants to win!
Cristiano Ronaldo wanted the team more than Santos to break through Sweden's goal again as early as possible and establish an advantage again.
As Pan Yi's old partner, Cristiano Ronaldo has honestly seen Pan Yi's various tricks too many times, especially when the game time is nearing the end.
If it does not take the lead, the probability of Portugal winning will become lower and lower as time goes by!
However, the Swedish team still stood up in a defensive formation calmly after the start, facing Portugal's onslaught.
As a result, the situation on the court looked a bit like a replica of the opening stage of the half, with Portugal attacking and Sweden defending, and there was no decent counterattack.
"If the situation on Ming Dynasty becomes a bit one-sided again, the Swedish team seems to be struggling to support, but their players still stay firmly in front of the goal, preventing Portugal from easily facing the wrong goal. That makes Portugal even though
I can have shooting opportunities, but it’s hard to score.”
"It can be seen that the Swedish team's defensive strategy is also very wrong. For example, when defending Nani, Sweden's two central defenders will often use their bodies to fight against him, which makes Nani's slightly thin
Sometimes my body cannot control the ball well, and I tend to jerk off when shooting."
"When defending Quaresma, Swedish defensive players pay great attention to preventing the use of his signature outside instep, often forcing Quaresma to use his instep to handle the ball, which reduces his accuracy.
It’s hard to pose a threat.”
"Compared to the half-time, the Swedish team's defensive system seems to be more reasonable, and the cooperation among the players is more tacit. It seems that it will be difficult for Portugal to find a way to score for a while..."
The commentators could all see the situation present, and of course Santos and his assistant standing on the sidelines also knew it very well.
If they continue to attack eastward in such an inefficient manner, the Swedish team's defense will become stronger and stronger, and Portugal's morale will become more and more sluggish. In the end, if the Swedish team seizes another opportunity, it is very likely that Portugal will be ruined.
.
"They can't continue to attack the east like that!" Assistant coach Valle said next to Santos, "Otherwise it will be very dangerous!"
In world football, there are countless cases that show that it is meaningless to blast with your eyes closed, but it has many hidden dangers.
There is a very classic game in the World Cup. In 1990, Argentina missed Brazil in the quarter-finals.
At that time, Brazil won all three games in the group stage and easily qualified, while Argentina failed to advance thrillingly in third place in the group. As soon as the two teams started playing, the Argentine team was indeed completely suppressed.
It seemed that the two sides were not teams of the same level, and the Argentine team seemed to have no strength at all. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Selecao, their defense was wavering several times.
When the building was about to collapse, goalkeeper Goyechea and defender Ruggieri and others kept holding on. They were all hoping that something unusual would happen and change the situation of being passively beaten.
Until the 81st minute of the game, they were waiting for something unusual. Of course, it was brought by the world champion Maradona.
61,380 spectators witnessed the magical moment at the Alpi Stadium in Turin.
At that time, Maradona was dribbling the ball in the midfield. He first passed Alemão in the middle circle, then dribbled the ball to avoid Dunga's tackle, and then used a fake move to break through Rocha who was coming from the defense.
When many Brazilian players formed a double-team, Maradona fell down and passed the ball to Caniggia, who had reversed to the left and was unguarded. The son of the wind received the ball and mistook Taffarel to score the goal.
.
That pass perfectly reflected Maradona's touch, balance, and overall perspective. It may have been the most incredible assist in the history of the World Cup.
Initially, Argentina relied on Caniggia's goal to eliminate Brazil 1:0 and enter the quarterfinals.
The final shooting ratio was 22:2 for Brazil and Argentina. Brazil hit the lintel twice and the goal post once, but they still lost...
It was a one-sided situation, with a lot of bombardment but no goals. In the end, the wrong leg was attacked by a counterattack, but the dominant side was often too aggressive, blindly trying to attack, and pressing the wrong side too tightly.
, causing the wrong party to enter a defensive state.
The more defensive one side is, the better, but the other side will become more and more anxious, thinking about eating the wrong leg in one go, and it is easy to make omissions in one's own defense.
If there is a star player on the wrong side, such omissions will be more likely to be caught by the wrong leg.
90 Argentina has Maradona, and now Sweden also has Ibrahimovic! So we must not take our mistakes lightly.
Although the Swedish team's goal in the half was not scored by Ibrahimovic, his assist was as good as Maradona's century assist! - Although the reward is not that strong, at least it is not.
He did it with ease, with the style of a general!
The Portuguese team obviously needs to consider how to deal with such a situation now.
After hearing Valle's words, Santos nodded.
Of course he is red.
Once encountering that situation, usually experienced teams will choose to relax their offensive, retreat, and let the wrong team come out to fight.
There is a saying that is very wrong. If I want to hit the wrong leg powerfully, I have to retract my fist first, and then punch it out hard. Then it will be more powerful. Otherwise, the punch will not hurt the wrong leg at all.
But he also understands that Pan Yi's team is like a spring. If I loosen my leg, it will bounce back.
The Swedish team's defense is definitely not about setting the bus in the true sense, but about achieving a dynamic balance through the active movement of the players.
If the Portuguese team loosens control of the wrong ball, Sweden will show their fangs and bite the Portuguese hard.
Just like the counterattack in the half, Sweden obviously took advantage of the Portuguese team's loopholes to fight. If they are allowed to fight like that again, the Portuguese team's defense may be broken.
In fact, as far as Portugal's current back line is concerned, although it may be better than the Swedish players, except for Pepe, none of them can be said to be the best in the world individually.
Moreover, those four people have only gradually come together in this cup and become the current starters. There are also some problems in the tacit understanding of cooperation.
Didn't the Swedish team's defense miss someone when they scored in the half?
Santos chose to focus on offense, which actually concealed the fragility of the defense to a certain extent.
"You can pull the formation back a little, but you must strengthen the intensity of the counterattack on the spot. Don't let their wrong legs control the ball easily!"
Santos said, then glanced at Ronaldo.
At this time, it is obviously not the most appropriate to let the spiritual leader of the Portuguese team convey the latest tactical instructions, and Ronaldo is obviously happy to do so.
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded to Santos, then immediately directed at Han Xuan: "Us! Don't rush to press us, let them come over! If you lose the ball, immediately counterattack, don't let them take the ball more than one goal."
Second!"
As Real Madrid's top striker, Ronaldo obviously understands what a team needs most in a counterattack.
Since the Portuguese team is currently not the main offensive side, the defense line is very close, and a lot of troops are invested in the attack, so the Swedish frontcourt players are also actively participating in the defense, so as not to create a numerical disadvantage.
Once the transition from defense to offense occurs, those frontcourt players will need time to move forward.
At this time, if the Swedish team succeeds in intercepting the ball in the middle and back, then someone needs to dribble the ball forward first. That person is often midfielder Weinblum or Larsson, and if not, he can give it to the front player.
The time when the trident was made.
At that time, if the Portuguese team misplaced Sweden's defensive midfielder and launched a quick and high-intensity counterattack, it would have been possible for the Portuguese team to pass the ball to the east and kill Sweden's counterattack in the cradle.
After all, it is already very difficult to control the ball in a high-pressure situation where the wrong team is intensively counterattacking on the spot;
If you really want to observe the movement of counterattack players in the frontcourt and then pass the ball smoothly, there are too few such players.
It can be said that the players who can do that are definitely masters. Maybe De Bruyne and Modric can do it.
But there are few players in the Swedish team's midfield who can really hold the ball.
Physically, Weinblum is very good, but his ball-handling skills are poor and he easily loses when he is tightly pressed.
Larsson is very capable of running, and his advancement speed is very fast, but he also has the same problem, and his footwork is relatively average.
Forsberg's ball-handling skills are not to mention, and he has enough passing vision, but the problem is that his body is too weak to resist. Once he is closely marked and impacted, he will soon lose the ball.
Therefore, Santos's strategy makes sense.
As a result, Sweden's ball speed was immediately affected, which made the Swedish team's counterattack seem very unsmooth.
Very much more than that.
Because the position where the Swedish team takes the ball and moves forward is often in the midfielder, and being intercepted there will undoubtedly be a test for Sweden's defense.
Although the Swedish team could quickly retreat to form a five-back defensive system and prevent the Portuguese team from further penetrating outside the penalty area, Nani and Quaresma who were on the front line did not get a lot of shooting opportunities.
As the game situation improved, Santos's face also became better.
However, he secretly praised Pan Yidong.
The resilience and resilience of that Swedish team is so good!
Considering that their personnel configuration is really average - otherwise they would not be unable to hold the ball as soon as Portugal forces them - it will be even more difficult.
It can be said that whether the Swedish team was able to enter the finals and perform to the current level, Pan Yi was definitely the biggest contributor.
And when Santos was thoughtful and looked at Pan Yi involuntarily, he found that Pan Yifeng was as calm as ever, without any panic.
"First stabilize the defense. He doesn't believe that the Portuguese can always maintain that kind of high-intensity pressure!" Then Pan Yi just misunderstood what Arteta said.
On the court, tactical considerations can be said to be comprehensive, not just from one angle.
You used high-intensity pressure to make the Swedish team make mistakes, but at the same time you also had to pay a price, so it was unacceptable.
If everyone is an Ironman, then every team must start running wildly from the first second of the game, because only in this way can it effectively create a local situation where more people beat less players.
As a result, the average running distance of players will definitely increase sharply, reaching 15 kilometers, 20 kilometers...
But that's obviously unrealistic. It's just like running a thousand meters at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Therefore, every land pressure technique has its own time limit.
And Pan Yi believed that his disciples could survive that period of time, he had that confidence!
Then, you can enter "Pan Yi time".
He then used his original trick by substituting people!
——
Sure enough, after entering the 70th minute, Pan Yi took the lead in making the first substitution adjustment of the game.
He traded Durmaz for Guidetti!
The latter performed very well in tomorrow's game, but because of his active pressing and returning to defense, some physical problems have obviously appeared.
Durmaz's speed and counterattack ability are excellent, and he can adapt to sprinting back and forth to suppress Portugal's wings.
But that can be considered a rather unexpected substitution.
After all, Durma is a winger with Turkish-Syrian descent. He has not played many games in this European Cup, and he has not started in the third group match against Belgium.
Anyone who knows the Olympiacos player knows that he should have taken a fancy to Durmaz's running ability.
He sometimes appears in the midfield position in club games. Although his defensive ability is average, he has won the favor of the coach through his unremitting running ability.
And he can also play as a winger, which can reduce his weaknesses and give full play to his strengths, allowing him to strengthen the defense of the wing.
Pano Durmaz is more accustomed to playing as a left winger, so Pan Yi moved Isaac to the right, so that Isaac's speed and body can also cope with the impact of Guerrero on the Portuguese left.
But on the Portuguese side, Santos quickly responded.
He traded Cancelo for Guerrero!
Guerrero, as Portugal's main attacker, was indeed a little tired after 70 minutes of fighting.
There is a very important reason, that is, whether the Swedish team's defense on his side is really watertight, Guerrero's morale seems to have been smoothed out.
In that case, it would be better to replace him with fresh blood Cancelo.
Although Cancelo is not truly a typical offensive and defensive player, he is fast, has excellent foot skills, is very capable of passing people, and has sufficient physical strength. He is a true defender with a knife, and can be left or right.
When Portugal is unable to attack for a long time, it would be a good choice for Cancelo to give full play to his own characteristics to attack Sweden's defense.
"After 70 minutes, Sweden and Portugal each made a misplaced substitution, which can also be seen as another tactical confrontation between the two coaches, Pan Yi and Santos."
"Judging from the game in the east half, the two coaches have restricted each other's tactics. Under the current situation, it is difficult for anyone to easily break the deadlock. So now they both want to
Change the situation in Yidong by replacing people."
"As for you, it is difficult for Portugal to break through Sweden's defense. It feels like they lack a fulcrum in front, just like Ibrahimovic did in the Swedish team."
"When Cristiano Ronaldo is on the court, his excellent heading ability can help the team gain air superiority, which is very important for Portugal."
"Once there is a chance for a header in the frontcourt, it can form a bridgehead outside the penalty area of the wrong team. Once that bridgehead can withstand the defense of the wrong team in the front, the teammates behind can immediately move along that fulcrum.
The two sides quickly opened up to form an offensive echelon."
"Obviously, whether Nani and Quaresma, who are now Portugal's forwards, can't do that, I believe Santos himself knows that very well."
"So when facing the Swedish team's iron-clad defense, they seemed helpless. If Ming even had to be afraid of the wrong team's counterattack, it must have made Santos feel helpless."
"Will the Swedish team take advantage of Portugal's long-term inability to attack and start a counterattack? Now that the game is approaching 80 minutes, do they want an overtime or even a penalty shootout..."
While the on-site commentator was talking, the fans and everyone in the stands suddenly saw the Swedish team's bench, and Kjellström left the bench to go to the sidelines to warm up.
That immediately made the whole stand and all the Swedish fans burst into an uproar.
"The Swedish team is asking for a substitution!" the on-site commentator also said in surprise, "They saw Kjellström warming up on the sidelines. Is Pan Yi ready to ask for him to be substituted?"
This is not only the doubts of the on-site commentator, but also everyone’s doubts.
Then no, is it feasible to leave the task of breaking the deadlock to Kjellström?
The 34-year-old former Arsenal player has long passed the peak of his career, otherwise he would not be playing in the Swiss league now.
At the beginning of this European Cup, although he was used by Pan Yi as the main force, he was substituted in the first half of the game and was officially reduced to a substitute later on.
That also shows that his current physical condition can no longer meet Pan Yi's tactical needs of high-intensity running and defense.
But now, when the European Cup has reached the final and 80 minutes have passed, Pan Yi begs to be replaced. So what exactly is going on?
If you consider that Durmaz was replaced just 10 minutes ago...
It's even more puzzling.
Bu Feng, Durmaz, Kjellström, all players who played relatively little time before, but Pan Yi wants to replace them all at such a critical moment in the game?
Even the most loyal Swedish fans can't help but feel confused at this time.
At this time, Pan Yi had no idea.
In fact, he didn't want to drag the game into overtime more than Santos, and wanted to end the battle outside 90 minutes.
After all, the current Swedish team is not like Chelsea. They have not gone through long-term physical training, and they do not have the physical reserves like Chelsea.
In a situation where they have been strictly defensive, the Swedish team's physical strength may even be exhausted faster than the Portuguese.
If it really enters overtime, uncontrollable factors will increase. In the beginning, it really depends on the emperor, Buddha, or wizard...
As for coping with the first ten minutes of the game, even veteran Kjellström would not be fueled enough.
Pan Yi took a fancy to him, mainly because of his ability to run without the ball, coupled with his excellent and delicate skills, he can meet the needs of passing and controlling, and he has a very good level of kicking the ball, which ensures the organization of the offense.
success rate.
Kjellström’s career highlights were all spent in Lyon, and in that Lyon team that won consecutive French Ligue 1 titles, could he truly be the core midfielder?
Moreover, when he is on the court, he is like a strong loach running around everywhere. He does not suffer any loss when he bumps into people. He is very easy to escape when bumped into. He will not reduce the team's defensive ability too much in a short period of time.
He is very good at shooting with great power. On the eve of the 2006 World Cup, his powerful shot at the training ground even injured his teammate, the Swedish national team's main goalkeeper Isaksson, causing the latter to miss the World Cup.
a match.
Letting him form a "double bombardment" with Forsberg can also provide a good offensive idea in the current relatively passive situation.
To put it bluntly, even if a penalty shootout does occur, Kjellström is still a very good penalty kicker...
"After I go, pay attention to holding the ball, and then always pay attention to the movements of Isaac and Durmaz on both sides, and look for them whenever I have the opportunity..." Pan Yi gave his initial instructions to Kjellström.
.
Kjellström's body may not be as good as it used to be, but at least his skills are quite good when compared to Ruming's Swedish team.
Moreover, he has advantages that other midfielders do not have, that is, as he accumulates experience, he will become more and more shrewd in his ability to run without the ball and his ability to pass accurately.
Or it can be said that Kjellström has always been a very comprehensive midfielder with outstanding coordination awareness and off-ball movement.
Otherwise, how could he be considered by Arsenal, which places the most emphasis on technical ability? Although he was not kicked out there.
During a throw-in, the referee blew his whistle to signal a substitution on the sidelines.
No. 9 Kjellström is on the scene, replaced by No. 16 Weinblum, the main defensive midfielder!
