There is a dream called football

Chapter 55 The core is played out

It was a bit unexpected to lose the ball. The opponent's offensive midfielder Miguel's shot hit the defensive player and bounced to the feet of forward Teixeira.

Teixeira took the ball just in front of the goalkeeper, pushed with the arch of his foot, and easily scored.

An accidental loss of the ball broke the balance, and the Porto players were a little frustrated.

The assistant regretted: "Unlucky."

Mourinho laughed: "When you give your opponent too many shooting opportunities in front of the penalty area, it will only be a matter of time before you lose the ball."

However, after conceding the goal, Porto became alert and sped up their attacking tempo.

After Alfonso got the ball from the wing, he handed it to Fabio with the intention of creating a triangle. He continued to run forward and Fabio was able to deliver the ball to him.

Fabio took the ball and paused for a moment. When he was about to pass the ball, the opponent's defensive player had already blocked him.

"The ball was not conceded, which is progress, but the ball was released too slowly, which is a flaw." Valle thought in his mind.

There seemed to be no goals conceded in this round, but the key was Fabio's meal. With this meal, Porto's attack came to an abrupt end.

The game has reached the stalemate period that every game encounters. A 90-minute game can be divided into many time periods. Sometimes the pace is slow, sometimes the pace is fast, just like long-distance running. Even the fastest-paced Premier League is like this.

.

After Benfica had the ball in hand, they hoarded a large number of defensive forces in the middle. Porto could only use their wings.

This is the reason why modern football emphasizes wing attack. Only when the wing attack is active can it be possible to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Alfonso once again got the ball on the left. It was impossible for him to force the ball down. He was not the great Saint Bale.

He glanced at the middle and pushed the arch of his foot.

Or seek triangular cooperation.

"Don't worry, Luis, I won't let you down this time." Fabio thought to himself.

but……

Soon he discovered something was wrong. Although the ball was coming in his direction, it was passed behind him.

"Is your footwork so bad?"

I glanced sideways and saw that there was someone behind me.

Li Qiao!

right!

The target of Alfonso's pass is not attacking midfielder Fabio, but Li Qiao who swims to the center.

After passing the ball, Alfonso continued to run forward. Any fool knew what Porto was doing, the simplest direct pass and diagonal pass.

Benfica's defensive players dug in like a pocket, and they were ready to use the same tactics they used to deal with Fabio to deal with Li Qiao.

But unexpectedly, Li Qiao did not stop the ball, but flicked the ball directly with his instep and passed it to Alfonso's running route.

Dumbfounded.

Why is it different?

Mourinho was already drowsy in the stands, but suddenly his eyes lit up, "It's interesting."

Li Qiao's pass was so clever that the defensive player couldn't close the door in time. Alfonso took the ball from the ribs and broke through directly.

He glanced at Ivanil in the middle, and then volleyed directly into the far corner because he felt that the forward seemed to be offside.

Another unexpected one, the goalkeeper fell to the ground to make a save, and the ball scraped against the grass and rolled towards the far corner of the goal.

If you look at the ball mark left on the lawn, you will find that it is a straight line segment, which shows that Alfonso hit the ball with great force.

The ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

The home fans of Porto roared and the cheers spread for a kilometer.

"Beautiful, I discovered him, I discovered him..." Uncle Sosa patted a few strangers, and shouted to them regardless of whether they listened or not.

"Did you discover Luis Alfonso?" someone wondered.

Uncle Sosa shook his head, "No, I discovered the kid who assisted. Can't you see that the key to this goal is a flick of his outside instep?"

"Haha, we still think Alfonso who scored the goal is stronger."

Sosa angrily said, "Guys who don't understand football."

Lorinda patted her father and made a shut-up gesture, "Dad, this is a public place. It's very embarrassing for you to be like this."

sweat.

"Daughter, they really don't understand football."

Lorinda put her hands on her hips and said, "Shut up and watch the game."

*****

On the court, after a simple cheer, the game continued. The head coach seemed very calm, although he was feeling very excited inside.

At this time, the only unhappy person in Porto was Fabio. In the attack just now, as the team's attacking midfielder, he was completely left alone, which was very embarrassing.

The game continued, and what was even more embarrassing was that his teammates were more willing to give the ball to Li Qiao. It was like a vote within the team, and the vote was the football under everyone's feet.

This once again proves the saying that the core of the football field is played.

Valle saw it clearly, and his assistant Gomez said calmly: "Why don't we move Fabio to the wing and let Li Qiao play as an attacking midfielder."

"It's no problem for Li Qiao, but Fabio's speed is too slow. He is not a wide player."

"That……"

It's hard to say these words, but everything goes without saying.

Valle was embarrassed to say that Mourinho in the stands was outspoken. He smiled at the people around him and said: "Do you think it's cruel? In one game, the team changed its core."

"Haha, it's indeed cruel. If you want to blame it, blame it on your own lack of strength."

Mourinho moved his butt and adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position. "Of course he still has a chance. If he can't prove himself within three games, then he should leave during the winter break."

On the court, his teammates surrounded Li Qiao, because it is not easy to throw the ball to him. As long as he runs, Li Qiao will be able to pass the ball nine times out of ten, so his efforts will not be in vain.

Benfica had a period of sluggishness after conceding the goal, but they were a strong team after all, and they soon regained control of the game.

At the 35th minute of the first half, Benfica got a free kick opportunity on the right side of the penalty area. Miguel, who took the penalty, curled the ball into the penalty area.

In the small penalty area, six or seven people flashed in front of the goalkeeper. No one touched the ball, but the goalkeeper was stunned. When the ball appeared in his sight, it was already only one meter away from the goal.

In this way, Porto unexpectedly conceded a goal for the second time in this game.

As soon as the ball was thrown, Valle cursed. His luck was a bit unlucky. After all, the speed of the ball was very slow, but the route was very weird. In fact, anyone who touched it might have gone out of bounds, but so many people missed it.

.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 1-2, with the home team in front.

When he was off the field, Li Qiao realized that he was a little embarrassed. He was very involved in the game and would not think about his friendship with Fabio. He was just a pawn on the court.

But now he realizes that he seems to have robbed Fabio of the core of the team.

In the players tunnel, Li Qiao patted Fabio and said, "Can you say a few words?"
