There is a dream called football

Chapter 50 A tough opponent

The two weeks of national team matches are a bit long. As the B team, the team not only does not have to endure the FIFA virus, but also gets some rest time.

In the weekend game, the home game against Biranises is a hurdle. The B team is generally not that mature and always goes smoothly. And if it encounters a losing streak, even if Mourinho comes to lead the team in person, it will be difficult.

There is nothing we can do.

The opponents are relatively unique among the 18 teams in the Portuguese Liga, because they are one of the few teams to hire foreign teachers.

The head coach is Van der Geag from the Netherlands. He is a bald man. When he was young, he played as a central defender, so he has relatively strict requirements for defense.

He has not been idle in the past two weeks. He has been studying the Porto team. When giving training to the players before the game, Van der Geag also made very targeted arrangements.

"Fabio is afraid of confrontation. This is a truth that every three-year-old child in Portugal knows. I think as long as we are a little rougher and tougher like our last opponent in Porto, we can get three points here."

"Children, I don't know what you think, but my dream is to be promoted to the Portuguese Super League. Next season our opponent will not be Porto B team, but Porto led by Jose. We will not appear in George

Sampaio Stadium, but go to the Dragon Stadium to play."

The players followed the coach and shouted slogans like Viking warriors, as if Porto's B team had been trampled under their feet.

After the start of the game, Biranises, wearing a white jersey, retreated very deep and formed several lines of defense in their own defensive third zone. Obviously, playing away games, stability is the priority.

There is no need to think about it, Valais knows how his opponent wants to play. After all, the first few games are the best teaching materials for his opponent.

If the opponent's head coach is not an idiot, then he should carefully study the previous games and then imitate them.

"Fabio, have you lost confidence?" Valais was worried.

At home, Porto is leading in possession of the ball, but there are too many ineffective possessions.

After several passes, the ball came to Fabio's feet. Before he could turn his body, the opponent's midfielder hit Fabio's waist.

This is a display of power and must have been deliberately arranged by the head coach.

"Yellow card."

The Porto players were all gesturing at the referee to show their cards, but this time the referee opened the door and verbally warned the opposing players.

Valle was a little angry, but the opponent's head coach was secretly amused. This was indeed his arrangement. Even if he got a yellow card, it was worth it. This was a show of force, and it was aimed at the core of the opponent's midfield. It was equivalent to the battle between the two armies.

Sweeping array.

Li Qiao came over and stretched out his hand, "Fabio, this is the opponent's plan, don't be fooled."

Fabio rubbed his waist, "These bastards are so cruel."

Several tough confrontations forced Fabio to play the ball quickly, so splitting the ball was a good choice.

There are several types of passes.

Passing back to the goalkeeper is the least risky and worst option.

The second is to divide the sides for the full-backs, making full use of the width and width of the field, and generally there are few problems.

The riskiest thing is to pass the threatening ball. If you pass it, you may directly get a chance to shoot. If you fail to pass it, you may be intercepted by the opponent and then counterattack.

As soon as Fabio senses that the opponent is going to cause trouble, he will immediately give Dada the ball and let him run forward with the ball.

Dada dribbled the ball forward, and the opponent's head coach raised his lips. He obviously understood this. He had watched the video of the Porto game, and I have to say that Dada was very fast, and his assists were very sharp, but he also had shortcomings, so

It’s just that the ability to interpret the game is not strong.

In the first five games, there were many times when Dada and Li Qiao ran too hard, and Li Qiao had to make way for him, which was a waste of offensive space.

"Let him take the lead and keep an eye on No. 7."

If Dada carries the ball alone, the only possibility is to lead a blind alley. This is the view of the Dutch coach.

This was indeed the case. Dada looked up and passed the ball to Li Qiao. The intention of this pass was too obvious.

Steal the ball!

Fight back!

What is defense for? It is for the purpose of counterattack, and the better the team is at defending, the sharper the counterattack will be.

After three passes and two downs, the ball reached the feet of striker No. 39 Diawara.

Leaning on Porto's defensive player, the opponent forced a kick directly in the penalty area.

There was a bang.

so close.

The ball missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

The head coach of Biranises was furious. This counterattack had the effect of training, but he was very unhappy that he did not score a goal.

He grabbed the black forward who was running over and said, "Boy, be more determined and you will definitely be able to do it."

*****

Sosa drooped his head. Everything seemed to be a replica of the game two weeks ago. Porto was leading in possession, but the opponent's counterattack was like a knife. At the end of the game, Porto was stabbed three times.

"What kind of football is being played here?"

Sosa was puzzled. The Portuguese national team also played like this, pressing the opponent, tossing the ball around, and eventually sending the ball into the opponent's net. Why couldn't Porto do the same?

"Dad, drink less."

"Forget it, I'd better forget it if I'm drunk. This football is too depressing."

"I'm so depressed that you still come to see me." Lorinda smiled.

Sosa's face turned red and he suddenly pulled up his clothes, "I am from Porto, I am Portuguese, and I love my team."

sweat.

Lorinda simply shut up and stopped talking.

*****

Porto's attack on the right and center failed, and Luis Alfonso on the left got the ball more often.

But his speed is indeed a flaw. He is not slow, but his speed with the ball is average.

As a winger, his left-foot passing skills are really strong, and he can send a curved ball into the penalty area more accurately.

But the problem is that the winger cannot reach the bottom and the passing distance is too long, so the opponent's center back can easily deal with it.

The people under Valais can only be like this, with more or less shortcomings. After all, if they were perfect, they would have been transferred by Mourinho long ago.

After several of Alfonso's crosses were overshadowed, he no longer made any crosses, but leaned towards the center to serve as a connecting point.

However, in the injury time of the first half, the situation on the field suddenly changed and Porto lost the ball.

The opponent had a chance for a corner kick, and the curve ball was hoisted into the penalty area. It was an easy pick, and goalkeeper Sacramento took the ball away, giving the opponent a fatal opportunity. The opponent's player did not waste the opportunity and accepted the gift.

An unexpected goal was conceded, causing the opponent to return to the locker room in a good mood, while the Porto players could only return to the locker room with their heads lowered. This was a depressing 15 minutes.
