Midfielder

Chapter 29 It's you who should go

The cheers in the Stadium of Light continued, but the game was about to start again. Although Sporting Lisbon was a little dizzy after being hit by this blow, they didn't want to surrender at the beginning of the game. There was still a lot of time and they still had a chance to score.

But now their expressions were a little helpless. After all, no one had considered that they would lose the ball so quickly in the Stadium of Light. Their mood would inevitably be affected, especially in such an important game, the opponent broke through the door so quickly. Anyone would be a little depressed.

However, the sudden lead has allowed Benfica to take the initiative in the game. Sporting is no longer in the mood to organize the attack slowly. This damn loss of points disrupted their game rhythm. They must strive to equalize the score in the shortest time.

Lin Yi's pass just now broke through the defense of Sporting and woke up these guys. Now no one ignores the black-haired kid anymore. They have all seen the power of the little guy and they don't want to make a second mistake.

After the restart, Sporting Lisbon began to organize an attack. Their three forwards had already entered Benfica's half, and the three midfielders also began to press forward with the ball. If they didn't want to play too passively, they had to fight back with continuous attacks.

They didn't forget that this was Benfica's home court. If they didn't want the opponent to always take the initiative, they had no choice but to overwhelm the opponent in the attack. But Lin Yi's advance put a lot of pressure on Sporting. This kid was like a loach burrowing in the defense line of Sporting.

The existence of this little guy always made Sporting's offense feel insufficient, because he always started to press frantically when Sporting was about to press forward, interfering with the speed of the ball in the backcourt of Sporting in this way. Although he had no chance to successfully steal the ball, such harassment made the backcourt of Sporting miserable.

Lin Yi is like a dagger against the waist of the Atlético team. Although he won't kill you all at once, he keeps stabbing you back and forth. Who knows which one will really kill you? Especially the defenders of the Atlético team, they are always on guard against Lin Yi's sneak attack.

Simao, Cardoso and Lin Yi formed an attack triangle in the backcourt of the Atlético team. Two people were responsible for pulling, one was responsible for passing, and the three people started to run in the backcourt of Lisbon with one point as the axis.

Mourinho's arrangement showed a fatal threat at this time, because the three people changed positions and ran very frequently, and there was no fixed person as an attacker. It can be said that all three of them have the ability to threaten the goal of the Atlético team, which is the most troublesome thing.

Needless to say, the threat that Simao can create, the goal just now has explained everything, and he and Lin Yi are not tall, and the two-pass small-range cooperation between these two guys also created a lot of trouble for the backcourt of the Atlético team.

Lin Yi's footwork has always been the best in Benfica. When he was completely relaxed, he played with the Stadium of Light as if it was a broken stadium behind the church in the small town of Cebatul.

The football was stuck to his feet like glue. Anyone who wanted to steal the ball from his feet would have to pay a huge price, because no one knew what his next move would be. Unless you wanted to be fooled, the best way was to follow him.

The Atlético team now had to guard against this little guy's highly deceptive pass again, and also worry about whether this kid would use his flexible footwork to pass the defender and shoot directly. This dilemma put a lot of pressure on Paito.

He didn't want to feel the same way again. His mistake just now caused the goal to be lost later. Now his psychological pressure was the greatest, especially when facing Lin Yi. He always had to guard against whether this kid would play any tricks on him again.

Although Paito has an absolute advantage physically, the boy's footwork is too fast, especially Lin Yi does not stay in one place. Even if the ball is not likely to be intercepted on his feet, he will pass it out in the shortest time.

Because Mourinho once said to him that all opportunities are generated in sports. Only by letting the football keep rolling on the field will opportunities come to you. Lin Yi knows very well what he should do on the field.

Lin Yi is not naive to think that he can replicate the performance just now. If it is just physical confrontation, everyone here can put himself at a disadvantage. The attack just now was a standard raid.

For physical confrontation, Lin Yi has his own way to deal with such a situation. He quickly transfers the ball and does not let the ball stop in front of him when the opponent is pressing. Even if he dribbles the ball, he moves at a very fast frequency, which keeps the opponent in a defensive posture and cannot rush up rashly.

Even if Lin Yi's breakthrough is not frequent, Paito is still in a passive position in defense. He has a strong sense of psychological oppression when facing Lin Yi. Perhaps that deceptive passing left him a deep lesson.

Paito's cautiousness made him very passive, which forced Athletic's two midfielders Rodrigo and Carlos Martins to come to help him from time to time. This undoubtedly weakened Athletic's offensive power. Lin Yi was like a thorn in Athletic's throat.

Mourinho needs Lin Yi to do this. He has always required his offensive players to rely on their personal abilities to deal with opponents in the frontcourt during the game, especially when they are leading, they must dare to take the ball and dare to make moves.

As long as the defensive players dare to make mistakes at this time, then they must not be polite. He requires Lin Yi and Simao and others to learn to find these opportunities that can be used and give the opponent another hard blow.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded the three people in the frontcourt to try to echo each other, if they can go forward, they must not go back, and use their personal dribbling ability to stir up the frontcourt as much as possible, corner kicks, free kicks, whatever they can get.

Anyway, there is only one requirement, that is, the opponent cannot easily launch a continuous wave of attacks in the backcourt, cut off the connection between the backcourt of the competitive team, and let their offensive tide have no follow-up power. As for those guys in the frontcourt, Benfica's defensive players will naturally take care of them.

Let the opponent fall into the quagmire of attack and do not give them the opportunity to organize calmly. Mourinho reminded every defensive player to keep the formation intact and not give the opponent any loopholes to exploit. He needs to make the opponent confused.

Petit and Thiago in the midfield provided a double insurance for Benfica's defense. They not only blocked the offensive of the Athletic team in the midfield, but also used their long passes to find the three-man combination in the frontcourt. The 4-3-3 formation of the Athletic team also became their biggest failure.

In the competition for the midfield, the Athletic team did not take any advantage at all. Although Lin Yi did not retreat easily, the defensive formation of Benfica's seven people had firmly locked the offensive route of the Athletic team. The three forwards of Sa Pinto rarely got support from the team's midfield.

Although the Athletic team had three forwards, all they could do was to grab the footballs that were hung in the crowd, and then either missed or were interrupted by the opponent's clamping. The rhythm of the entire attack has always been very messy and disorderly.

The long shot from the perimeter may be the only chance for Athletic now, but the two layers of protection of Petit and Thiago did not leave much space for long shots for Athletic. On the surface, Athletic has been pressing Benfica to attack, but only they know the real situation.

Ignacio no longer has the heart to continue sitting in the coaching seat. He stood on the sidelines and reminded his players loudly, "Press forward!" We must strive to solve the problem in the opponent's half, and don't let the three Benfica guys create threats on our defense line!

Compared with the now somewhat manic Ignacio, Mourinho seems very quiet. Although he will remind his players on the sidelines, his expression seems more natural, as if everything is under his control. This sense of ease makes Ignacio feel more anxious.

He had already boasted before the game. If he can't win the game, he will be very embarrassed, especially if he can't win this Benfica team with uneven personnel. His good days in Sporting Lisbon are probably coming to an end.

However, his roar did not bring any gratifying changes to Sporting Lisbon. The situation on the court was still stalemate, even a little lingering.

Mourinho had this idea. He would not play any offensive games with his opponent when his team was not well-organized. He just wanted to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and let Sporting Lisbon follow behind him. The rules of the game were set by him.

The lead was an accident for Benfica. Lin Yi took advantage of the opponent's carelessness at the beginning of the game to score this goal, but now Mourinho hopes that the team can find opportunities to counterattack in such defense.

A gap of one goal is never safe. He needs more goals. Mourinho has not forgotten what the opponent said before the game. The opponent's head coach said before the game that he must win again at Benfica's doorstep.

Last time 3:0, Sporting Lisbon once said that they would give Benfica such a score this time, but now it seems that the winners and losers will be reversed this time. Benfica, who holds the initiative, will use their feet to wipe out the shameful score.

Atlético's frenzied attack had no effect. They attacked desperately for more than 30 minutes after conceding the goal, but they could not break through Benfica's defense. Even though they had shot 11 times, only two of them were within the goal frame, and they still failed to create a fatal threat.

On the contrary, Benfica's counterattack was more sharp at this time. Every kick of Simao and Cardoso would threaten the goal guarded by Ricardo. The situation on the field has made Atlético led by Inacio more and more passive.

The most proud person now is probably not Mourinho, who is standing on the sidelines and watching everything on the field, but Villariño, who is sitting in the VIP seat. He is satisfied with the performance of the players on the field. There may be nothing better than this result now.

Although he hates that guy very much, in a game like the national derby, he still enjoys the shouts of the fans. For a chairman who has just taken over the club, there is nothing more meaningful than winning such a confrontation.

You know, Azevedo has never defeated his opponent, but now Villariño has the chance to do it. Maybe those fans should know clearly after such a game who they should cheer for.

This will be the era of Villarino, and those who have left their names here will be buried by his great achievements.

Moreover, Villarinho is very confident about his future team plans. He believes that under his operation, Benfica will definitely regain its former glory in the European arena. By then, he will become the most prestigious club president in Portugal, G14 ? That's absolutely not a problem.

The proud Villarinho showed his smile to many people around him, including Mendes who was sitting not far away and also enjoyed a pig-like smile. It can be seen that Lin Yi's performance has made the chairman very satisfied, and his mood is also very good at this moment. Mendes is considering whether he should raise the issue of Lin Yi's contract with the other party again after the game. Maybe this is a good solution opportunity.

But while Mendes was thinking about this issue, the score on the field changed again, and the fans cheered again.

When the first half was coming to an end, Athletic's frenzied attack still had no results, but Inacio's roar still drove them to press forward.

However, this pressing style of play did not give them any space to control the ball, but it caused loopholes in their defense. This is the price that must be paid for blind offense.

Thiago intercepted Rodrigo's pass at the moment when the opponent was pressing forward. With the opponent's overall formation moving forward, Thiago's pass directly found Simao, and the rush from the wing has become This guy has done the most in this game, and this time is no exception.

Mario Sergio had already stepped aside to prepare for an assist, but now he was embarrassed to find that the ball had passed over his body and hit behind him, and Simao once again started to advance from his defensive area, that crazy Speed ​​was once again on the wings.

Now Sporting Lisbon only has two central defenders and a goalkeeper in the back. Mario Sergio, who is desperately chasing back, can't stop Simao's breakthrough pace. Now Sporting Lisbon has to face a fatal impact.

Lower base, cross. This time Simang's dribbling route goes directly to the baseline, instead of solving the problem by cutting inside like the first time, because Cardoso in the middle has already outflanked Simang's pass. Finding him immediately, Cardoso still hit a beautiful header under the attack of two defenders, directly hitting the gate guarded by Ricardo.

Quick reaction, Ricardo's first reaction speed may be the fastest in Portugal. He barely made a sideways save and let his fingertips touch the football. The force of this touch was enough to deflect the damn shot from the target.

When several people in front of the Athletic team were still entangled, the football had been hit to the edge of the penalty area by a side attack from Ricardo.

But Inacio, who was standing on the sidelines, had no time to cheer for Ricardo's wonderful save, because the danger had not been eliminated. There was a guy wearing Benfica No. 20 who was rushing towards the landing point of the football, although there were still people behind him. Followed by a Paito in hot pursuit.

But Inacio could clearly feel the sweat on his palms. When the two men kicked the football almost at the same time, he even closed his eyes in despair because he saw clearly where the football was going at the last moment. At this time, Ricardo had not yet gotten up from the ground.

Lin Yi almost risked being directly kicked by Paito and hit such a shot in the air. When he fell from the air due to the collision, Lin Yi saw the shaking of the net and Ricardo's reluctant The outstretched palm also heard the cheers erupting from the entire stadium.

"The ball went in..." This was Lin Yi's only thought as he rubbed his head, but he didn't want to lie on the ground now. He wanted to celebrate crazily and celebrate the goal in a stupefying way.

The first thing Lin Yi did after getting up from the ground was to take off his team uniform, and then ran wildly toward the stands of the Stadium of Light, without giving his teammates a chance to pounce on him and hold him back.

Mourinho waved his fist hard at the moment Lin Yi scored, because the goal was so clean and neat that he didn't give his opponent any chance at all. This kid's sense of catching opportunities has also begun to change. Getting sharper and sharper! At this moment Mourinho no longer cares whether he is leaving here, because the black-haired boy will definitely survive in the football circle, and he will succeed!

This is enough for Mourinho. Lin Yi is a diamond polished by him. Now that he sees him shining, he has no regrets.

Lin Yi's celebration looked a bit crazy, but Mourinho did not stop a player from venting his emotions after scoring a goal. He just took off his clothes. It was no big deal. It was not like he was not wearing anything underneath, and it was not a full body. They're all naked, it doesn't matter.

But when he saw clearly what Lin Yi wrote on the underwear inside the team uniform, Mourinho was stunned. Not only was he stunned, this picture was spread on the big screen, making the entire Stadium of Light Everyone inside who saw this scene was stunned.

Because two lines of words were clearly written on the underwear in thick black pen, "Villarinho, it's you who should get out!!!", and Lin Yi was pointing at the fat pig sitting on the rostrum. , raised his middle finger high, his voice couldn't possibly reach that far, but several teammates catching up from behind could clearly hear what he was saying loudly.

"Villarinho, you're just a bastard!!! Get your butt off the seat, you fat pig!!!"

Mendes could feel the muscles on his face showing signs of stiffness. His hope, which was still burning just now, was now extinguished.

From the corner of his eye, he could already see Villarinho slamming his fist on the armrest of the chair, and his livid face was almost distorted, eh. . . this. . . What an unexpected celebration. . .

(Second update... I'm actually quite diligent, you say, right? Keep asking for clicks, collections, and recommendations~~~ I'm correcting a small mistake myself. Ricardo probably didn't join the competitive team until 2003. , but I can’t find the goalkeeper in 2002. Is this going to be Yao Ming?
