Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 53: Equalizing the Hornets

Bortmund, led by Aubameyang, has a strong front line.

Although Benfica's defense was very precise, it sounded the alarm under the opponent's tacit and skillful cooperation and Aubameyang's terrifying speed.

"Duang, duang, duang"

In just 10 minutes, three goal posts made Benfica's goal in a state of panic.

The cheering at the home stadium of West ** was soaring, and Dortmund's offensive frenzy was also wave after wave.

Facing the high-pressure tactics of the Hornets in the frontcourt, Benfica's central defender's weakness in passing the ball in the backcourt was infinitely magnified.

The hasty clearance handed the initiative to Dortmund.

This is one of the most dangerous ways to lose the ball.

When the central defender gets the ball, it means the team gets the ball. At this time, the team's formation will rebound, expand, and start the offensive posture. Once the ball is lost, the defensive players are not in the defensive position, the defense line is not built, and it is impossible to organize a strong and effective defense.

The main shooter Aubameyang is a super striker who is killing all over the Bundesliga.

He will not easily miss such a good scoring opportunity.

He accelerated with the ball, ate the rough full-back who rushed up, cut into the penalty area, and changed direction after the fake move, which caught the central defender off guard. He raised his foot and shot, and made a beautiful arc ball, bypassing the defensive player and hanging directly into the dead corner of the goal.

10 degrees.

Facing this perfect arc ball, the goalkeeper of the Benfica team was far behind and watched the ball enter the net.

1 to 0.

Benfica lost the ball.

The Wis** Stadium was boiling.

The fans sang loudly, completely igniting the passion in the players.

The rapid and enthusiastic drumbeats are the drums of the Hornets, and the offensive frenzy continues.

One goal is obviously not enough to satisfy the fanatical Dortmund goal.

Score another one, this is the goal of all Dortmund fans and players.

Losing the ball is acceptable, but what is unacceptable is this easy way of losing the ball, which is too amateurish.

Mano on the sidelines was furious, and he directly replaced the central defender who made a mistake.

It is only a temporary solution, and the high-pressure tactics are aimed at your weak ability to pass the ball in the back line. Even if you replace a central defender, Benfica still cannot solve this stubborn problem.

Mano's brain turned quickly, and after a while, he made a decision that countless people found incredible.

"Wang Po, you go play as a central defender."

At the same time, the formation of the Benfica team also changed.

The familiar 541 formation means the failure of Mano's starting lineup.

Compared with the previous 541 formation, the difference in this game is that the extra central defender in the back line is Wang Po, who was born in the midfield and is less than 1.8 meters tall.

Even for professional football players, there is a huge gap between the defensive technical movements of offensive players and those of pure defenders.

Throwing Wang Po to the back line is also a helpless move.

Mano hopes to use his midfield attributes to break the opponent's high-pressure frontcourt, so that the offensive organization will undoubtedly drop a level.

Under the tight team lineup, Mano can only use this method of robbing Peter to fill Paul to make up for the team's shortcomings.

How much improvement this change can bring to Benfica is unknown!

This is a risky move. After all, Wang Po's back position means the complete fall of Benfica. If the effect is not good, Benfica will be in a bottomless abyss and unable to turn over.

Already behind, Mano decided to gamble.

After Dortmund took the lead, the attack frenzy became more and more fierce, and every offensive organization showed a very mature, constantly looking for loopholes in Benfica's defense.

Almost every time it hit the penalty area, it could cause danger or form a shot.

"Woo woo"

Aubameyang's powerful shot came with a rapid whistle, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

The Gabonese international missed the chance to score twice, and regretted holding his head with both hands.

At this time, there were only 5 minutes left before the end of the game.

The goalkeeper of the Benfica team put the ball in place and prepared to kick it out. Seeing this, Wang Po pressed his hands down, indicating to steady the rhythm and give him the ball.

"Beep"

A whistle sounded, and the referee urged the goalkeeper to kick the ball.

The ball was kicked out and given to Wang Po at the top of the penalty area. The moment he received the ball with his back, there were Dortmund forward players around him.

With the power of the home court, Dortmund was very aggressive, leaving only one central defender and one full-back in their backcourt. They had enough manpower to press Benfica's back line on a large scale, in a large echelon, and with great intensity.

Logically speaking, it is a taboo to continue holding the ball when you have your back to the goal. The first choice should be to hand the ball to the player facing the goal and let them handle it.

However, in this game, Benfica's defenders were already scared by Dortmund players.

Seeing them coming like wolves and tigers, their calves were already weak, the ball was hot under their feet, and they didn't dare to hold the ball too much. Most of them would kick the ball without thinking.

Wang Po's purpose of setting up the back line is to solve the opponent's frontcourt pressing and solve the problem of easily losing the ball.

Wang Po chose to take a risk, knocking the ball with his heel and turning around.

Such a superb move on the back line caught Dortmund players off guard.

No one thought that Wang Po would use such a move.

Wang Po turned around and accelerated the ball, and his technical moves facing the goal were more relaxed.

Facing the attack from Dortmund's midfielder, Wang Po changed direction and accelerated.

Two more Dortmund defensive players came up. Judging from the opponent's posture, they were rushing towards them.

Wang Po did not dare to take it lightly, and based on the principle of self-protection, he chose to pass the ball to Gomez who was connecting in the middle.

Suddenly, Wang Po's pressure dropped sharply and he chose to attack forward to create more passing opportunities for his teammates.

After receiving the ball, Gomez kept knocking Wang Po back with the ball.

An advance amount was given.

Wang Po accelerated and ran wildly, racing against the opponent's defensive players.

In terms of speed, Wang Po had the advantage, accelerating in a short period of time and opening up half a body gap with his opponent.

The focus of Dortmund's defensive formation began to tilt towards Wang Po's wing.

Wang Po's personal pressure on holding the ball suddenly increased, and he transferred his kick to Jim on the wing.

The cheetah reappeared, and black lightning slid across the West End court.

Danger.

Dortmund's central defender is no match for Jim in terms of speed. In this case, there is only one option for Dortmund's defensive players, foul at all costs.

Fast, too fast.

Jim was well aware of the opponent's purpose. He quickly passed the ball with his big foot and accelerated the ball on the original basis. The Dortmund center back could only eat the dust and watched helplessly as Jim entered the penalty area.

Push with the arch of your foot and the ball goes in.

The away team Benfica equalized the score in the final stages of the game.
