Fox in the Penalty Area

Alvara's organizing midfielder is Brazilian player Eli. Although he is not a national player, his strength is still outstanding.

His partner Luca Bloom is a defensive midfielder and Swiss international.

One is responsible for organizing the offense, and the other is responsible for the defense. The division of labor is clear. Most of the time, they cooperate tacitly and operate well.

The two of them are an irreplaceable partner in Alvara's midfield.

Even if Xia Xiaoyu comes on as a substitute, he can rarely shake the positions of the two players.

Either helping Bloom defend, or going to the wing to serve as a full midfielder.

He also served as a playmaker, but that was without Eli on the court.

If Eli is on the court, the responsibility of organizing the offense has to be given to him.

It is absolutely impossible for Xia Xiaoyu to be responsible for organizing the offense.

But this time, head coach Queta clearly told him to let him organize the offense...

What about Eli?

Eli pushed forward and became a shadow striker.

He is closer to the goal and does not need to organize the offense, but is only responsible for shooting and scoring.

As a Brazilian player, Eli certainly has good scoring ability.

This was Queta's desperate move when his team was two goals behind.

At this time, you often cannot stick to a certain formula.

Pushing Eli to a position close to Tramed's goal, and then handing over the task of organizing the offense to Xia Xiaoyu, a jack-of-all-trades, is an approach that breaks the mold.

This is also because Queta plans to risk his life.

It doesn't matter what he does, as long as he can score goals.

There are more than twenty minutes left in the game. If you give it a try, maybe you can still play.

If you still stick to the old rules, you are really screwed.

Of course, what Queta thinks is that it would be best to equalize the score at home. After all, there is a strength gap between the two sides.

The score is two goals behind again, and there is not much time left...

But if they can't even get a draw in the end, Queta hopes that the team can get a goal back and lose the game 2:3, which is better than 1:3.

If they are only one goal behind, they will go to Tramed's home court in the second round, and Alvara still has to catch up.

If you are two goals behind, your chances are slim.

Even the players themselves don't believe it, and it's even more difficult for him, the head coach, to make them truly perform miracles.

※※※

Xia Xiaoyu shook his head left and right on the court, observing the situation.

Before taking the field, head coach Queta told him to organize the offense.

So now he has to face this game with an offensive organizer rather than a panacea mentality.

After coming to Alvara, there were not many opportunities to actually play as a playmaker.

Occasionally, when he was running desperately on the court and fell to pieces trying to prevent an opponent's attack, with his face covered in mud and grass clippings, he would secretly ask himself:

What brought me to Alvara?

Is it to use his weak body to fight opponents on the court like a sapper?

Or is it just like a reading pen, running to wherever you need it?

Such days were so long that Xia Xiaoyu thought he would forget what it was like to be an organizing midfielder.

Until he stood on the court at this moment, shouldering the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense.

He looked to the right, and the right winger Lesinho dropped deep because he needed enough space.

So although he is a forward, now he is more like a winger.

On the left is Ghana winger Abduyo Dauda. He did not retreat as deeply as Lesinho on the other side. He even reached the penalty area and formed a formation with the team's center Dejord Igor. A double striker.

So now on the left is the team's left back Nathan Shea. He presses up from the back line and becomes a left midfielder or even a left winger.

In addition to the two strikers in the front and center, offensive midfielder Eli is roaming behind them, adding to the level of offense. He's there, either scoring goals directly or supporting Igor and Dauda with his passes.

Looking further around, we see the team's defensive midfielder Luca Bloom. He is mainly responsible for protecting himself before protecting Eli.

After scanning back and forth several times, Xia Xiaoyu basically figured out the current situation on the field, and even remembered the positions of his teammates.

This is the situation.

Next, Xia Xiaoyu will have to consider how to organize an attack.

Tramed, who was leading 3:1, did not shrink back and set up the bus in the last minute.

They are a Premier League giant, and facing Alvara, who is weaker than themselves, it is not their style to set up a bus.

But they don't attack non-stop like Leeds City.

Tramed still slowed down the pace and made some defensive moves.

It's just that Alvara can't press him outside Tramed's 30-meter area to pass back and forth and control the ball at will.

When Xia Xiaoyu tries to push the ball forward, he will immediately feel the pressure from Tramed.

Therefore, after coming on the field, Xia Xiaoyu mainly stayed in the midfielder position, using medium and long passes to transport projectiles forward, and at the same time using short passes and relentless running to connect with the people around him.

But after playing like this for about ten minutes, the effect was not good.

Alvara's offense still failed to threaten Tramed's offense.

After observation and analysis, Xia Xiaoyu concluded that the positions and routines of Alvara's offensive players in the offense were basically figured out by Tramed.

If you just attack the opponent in such a rigid manner, the result will not change.

As a defender, they like this fixed routine the most.

The team's offense must change.

But how?

Xia Xiaoyu thought about how he played as a deep-lying midfielder with the national team and the Olympic team.

Sometimes you have to move forward decisively and take risks!

※※※

Alvara pressed forward again, and Tramed shrank into his own thirty-meter area.

There are five people on the back line in the penalty area, and they are responsible for guarding Alvara's four offensive players: Igor, Dauda, ​​Eli and Lecinho.

The four people on the avant-garde line are blocking the thirty-meter line. They will face Xia Xiaoyu and Bloom directly.

After Xia Xiaoyu passed the football horizontally to Bloom, he continued to observe the positions of both sides and analyzed it in his mind.

He saw that Dauda and Igor were at the front. They were both in the penalty area, almost standing next to Tramed's central defender. If he passed the ball directly to them, it would basically be nothing. significance.

At the same time, Eli and Lessinho are positioned slightly further back, at the top of the penalty arc, with Eli in the middle and Lessinho slightly to the side, on the right rib.

Therefore, among the four players in Tramed's forward line, midfielder Connor Kirk took two steps back, approached Eli, and was faintly stuck in front of Eli.

This is to prevent Alvara from passing the ball to him when he is on offense.

After all, he is Alvara's offensive midfielder and is responsible for organizing the offense. It is a normal choice to leave it to him.

The remaining three people are lined up in a row, but the distance between them is relatively far, especially Luo Kai on the right. After exchanging positions with Barea in this defense, he is far away on the other side. , one person stared at Lecinho and Alvara's right back Ibrahimba at the same time.

And he is also preparing for a counterattack. If Alvara's offensive advancement is blocked and the ball is intercepted, he will immediately rush forward, engage in the counterattack, and hit the huge space behind Alvara's right back.

Xia Xiaoyu put everything he saw into his mind. After quickly analyzing it, he caught a glimpse of Bloom planning to pass the ball forward, probably to Eli.

He quickly made gestures and shouted at the same time, trying to stop Bloom from doing this, because this intention was too obvious!

If he could see it himself, how could Connor Kirk not see it?

Passing the ball like this is equivalent to passing the ball to Kirk's feet!

"Don't……"

Before he could finish his words, Ricardo Barea stepped forward to put pressure on Bloom, and the Switzerland international passed the ball.

Just for Eli!

But as a defensive midfielder, his passing accuracy is slightly less when under pressure.

In addition, Kirk saw through his intention, Captain Tramed took a step forward, stretched out his foot and blocked the ball!

The football popped up and rolled toward the center. Tramed forward Pap Bonnet, who was at the front, saw the football rolling over and started to get the ball.

But Xia Xiaoyu moves faster!

Almost as soon as the football was blocked by Kirk, he moved sideways and rushed out.

He and Bonnet were both pursuing football at the same time!

"Bloom made a mistake in passing the ball! Xia Xiaoyu!"

It's impossible to control the football while competing with Bonnet.

So Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to control the football at this time. He kicked the ball before Bonnet stretched out his foot, and took advantage of the situation and poked the ball to Lesinho who was diagonally in front of him!

怆愯瘽璇达纴鐩铓嶆湕畇簲扉涔︽涶濂界敤镄刟pp锛屽挭鍜阒呰hurt

Rush and pass, all in one go!

Bonnet missed the opportunity and almost collided with Xia Xiaoyu.

Eli also turned around to grab the ball, but he was a little slow and missed it.

But this time he retreated, he pulled Kirk out.

After receiving the ball, Lecinho quickly passed the football forward diagonally and passed it to Serbian high center Dejord Igor on the line of the penalty area.

After passing the ball, Lessinho started to move forward again and rushed towards the penalty area.

Luo Kai ran back to the penalty area behind him.

But after just two steps, Luo Kai suddenly realized something was wrong. I had ignored Xia Xiaoyu!

Just when Luo Kai was thinking this, Igor, who had his back to the goal and was held up by Tramed center back Scott Wilson, did not pass the football to Lesinho, who was running diagonally towards him. Instead, pass the football back directly!

Luo Kai braked suddenly and turned around, and saw that Xia Xiaoyu had reached the position where Lesinho was just now and received the ball!

He couldn't care about anything else for a moment, and directly attacked Qiu Qiu and Xia Xiaoyu!

"Igor will do it again, Xia Xiaoyu!"

Luo Kai scooped up!

Because Xia Xiaoyu kicked the football first and gently poked it away!

Then he jumped up and crossed over Luo Kai's legs.

Luo Kai could only lie on the ground and witness this scene, but could do nothing...

After walking past Luo Kai, Xia Xiaoyu looked up and quickly observed the goalkeeper's position and found that he was standing slightly forward, so he stopped dribbling the ball and directly raised his right leg and shot with one kick!

He just hung the door!

The cheers above the Lisbon Arena suddenly increased at this moment, as if they had seen the football flying into the goal.

Tramed's goalkeeper Tom Walker saw the football flying high from outside the penalty area, hurriedly retreated, jumped back while retreating, stretched out his arms to pounce on the ball in the air!

He succeeded!

His hand caught the ball!

But he was not completely successful, because he only touched the ball when he was falling in the air, and he was already at the end of his strength...

He didn't lift the football over the crossbar, and he couldn't knock the football far away.

In fact, it is not easy for him to touch football.

After the football was blocked by him, it fell to the goal.

Walker fell to the ground and struggled to get up, trying to make a second save.

That's too late!

Lessinho, who had just made a diagonal pass into the penalty area, hit the ball with his horse and pushed towards the falling football!

The football flew into the goal before Walker's hands!

The Lisbon Arena burst into cheers as Alvara got a goal back!
