Because Simang on the right has already received the football three meters outside the right side of the penalty area.
Offensive is beneficial.
Simao cut deep inside, and after Terry was beaten ahead by him, even if he could keep up, Terry couldn't do much.
When a defender is behind the player holding the ball, the interference they can cause is very limited.
Fonte once again acted as the team's last line of defense and pounced on Simao.
As long as he disturbs Simon for a little while and Terry comes with him, that will be fine.
The passing routes between Simao, Rivaldo and Kluivert were cut off by Matthaus and Deschamps respectively.
He doesn't have many options.
Bang bang!
Simang was a fried ball, moving forward in the penalty area, easily passing Fonte, without even stopping for a second.
One second before Terry, he was Simon, and the next second he was Fonte's dull face. He couldn't help but collapse.
This is... too fast, right?
Why don't you hold on for one more second?
You are making me feel very uncomfortable!
You are a man!
What’s one second?
boom!
Simao faced the attacking Schmeichel and calmly shot low.
Schmeichel's movement when he got off the ground was very standard, but he was a little slow, causing the football to miss ahead of time.
"GOAL! Simang! Simang scored the go-ahead goal against his old club!"
"As expected of the former prince of Sporting Lisbon, he seemed to have a halo when facing this team. Today Simao played like Figo... Oh, let's not mention Figo in front of Barcelona fans.
Simao played like Rivaldo today, sharp and sharp!"
"Two to one, Barcelona successfully reversed the score after falling behind for a short time. Sporting Lisbon's players were a little stunned. Especially Fonte, the two goals conceded were directly related to him. His defense was too fragile and he was in trouble at the first touch.
break!"
"This is the normal level for young players in the Portuguese Super League. They are all Cristiano Ronaldo, Deng Kai, Quaresma, Viana, Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Terry, Barzagli, Pepe and so on.
Such a genius is really abnormal."
"Rehhagel has previously said that Sporting Lisbon is a dream team with many talented players, and any head coach would like to coach such a team."
"But now it seems that Fonte has single-handedly dragged the ceiling of this team from the clouds to halfway up the mountain. He has proved that not all the young people on this team are super geniuses, but also ordinary people."
"For a moment, I don't know whether to say that Fonte is weak and is holding the team back. Or that he is strong and can bring down an entire talented team with one person!"
Not only Barcelona, but also the commentators and some fans saw Fonte's amateurism.
The first half ended shortly after this goal.
Barcelona's players are in good spirits.
Rivaldo is communicating with Overmars. Rivaldo means to let Overmars cut inside to avoid fighting Barzagli and directly attack Fonte.
Kluivert is also talking to Simao, Gerrard and others.
After Guardiola encouraged his defensive players, he looked at Deng Kai with a smile.
Everyone knows that Guardiola's smile is innocent.
"It's a bit of a pity. If the first half had ended ten minutes later, I feel we could still have scored." Guardiola patted Deng Kai on the shoulder and mocked Laman.
Deng Kai silently said in his heart, "I'm not angry. Indeed, as a rotation player, you can initiate two attacks. Your performance is really good. It's hard to believe that a player like you has been sitting on the Barcelona bench for a long time... Oh, ha,
The captain’s armband is back too? I remember it seemed to be on whose arm in the previous games?”
Guardiola's face froze, he turned and walked into the players' tunnel, cursing MMP in his heart!
Damn it, too much information is not good either.
This little bastard actually found out about his substitution.
Many times, it's not that the players themselves can't accept substitutes, it's that the public opinion environment is too bad, and there are always villains who want to gloat around.
Guardiola didn't even think about who made the taunt first.
…
During the halftime break, Maxa deliberately walked to the back with Deng Kai. He asked Deng Kai in a low voice: "Kay, Fonte's performance in the first half was a bit bad. I feel that Barcelona will stare at him in the second half."
"If we want to win, maybe... what do you think about replacing Font?"
If Font were here, he would probably doubt his life.
After all, this is his mentor Mr. Maxa.
He actually gave up on himself?
He actually sold himself out for glory?
Deng Kai thought for a few seconds: "It doesn't mean much. Marcos and his team are not much higher than Fonte, but their cooperation with Terry and Barzagli is obviously not as good as Fonte, so it's a tie."
"And in fact, this Barcelona team is very difficult to guard. Overmars, Simao, and Rivaldo are all super masters of counting people. Even Kluivert has very good footwork.
.”
“It’s better to focus on the offensive end than to work hard on the defensive end.”
"Quaresma was in good shape in the first half. As long as we can keep going back and forth, we may not be unable to catch up."
Maxa nodded repeatedly and quickly wrote down the key points that Deng Kai said so that he could communicate with Triguera later: "By the way, should we try the double tower tactic? Their backline is not high enough..."
This is definitely not what Maxa meant. It was probably what Triguera said to him during the first half of the game, and he remembered it.
This guy doesn't produce tactics, but he is definitely a top-notch tactical porter, and he is very good at pretending to be a fox.
Deng Kai shook his head: "It's not the time yet. This is just the first round. We don't need to go all out. The double tower tactic does have advantages on the offensive end, but the lack of a breakthrough player will make it more difficult to pass the ball in the midfield and will also change the situation."
To increase the defensive pressure on the back line, don’t try it easily until the last moment.”
"After all, our opponent is Barcelona. Any small mistake we make may lead to a total loss."
Maxa suddenly understood and made an astonished expression.
But in fact, when he and Trigla discussed this conclusion before, Trigla proposed a plan on his own and rejected it for this reason.
Maxa's expression was the same then as it is now.
Congratulations, he is professional.
The second half of the game begins.
At the beginning, Sporting Lisbon did not immediately start to attack as everyone expected.
But almost five minutes later, when everyone thought that Sporting Lisbon was preparing to defend and play steadily, Deng Kai looked directly at Matthäus and Viana began to press.
Gerald Lopez faced a press and quickly returned the pass.
However, Deng Kai rushed towards Guardiola before he could pass the ball back.
Guardiola is the core of this Barcelona defense.
Guardiola watched football and thought of several ways to get rid of Deng Kai.
However, before the football reached his feet, Deng Kai put down his shovel and hit the football ahead of time.
Then he knocked Guardiola down.
The referee knew that some people would have doubts about this encounter. He immediately crossed his hands to indicate that Deng Kai had not committed a foul.
Guardiola was sitting on the ground with his hands in the air, shouting "why".
But Deng Kai didn't tolerate Guagua. He got up and caught up with the football. He turned around and handed the football to Viana, and then rushed forward.
When he passed by Guardiola, he gave Guardiola a special look, and the level of ridicule was far more egregious than what Guardiola did to Deng Kai at the end of the first half.
Guardiola is so angry!
One stood up and wanted to pull Deng Kai away.
As a result, when Deng Kai gave way, Guardiola was left empty-handed and staggered to the ground again.
