Chapter 060 Inexplicable Substitution

During the halftime break, head coach DeRozan made tactical adjustments.

"Now that we are leading by two goals, we can shrink our line appropriately in the second half. Controlling the rhythm is the most important thing," DeRozan said.

Then he made another substitution adjustment, replacing forward Gilberto Sosa, who had an average performance in the first half, and replaced him with midfielder Bruno Lima. The formation was also adjusted to a 4321 Christmas tree shape.

The person who best used the 4321 formation is naturally Mourinho. It evolved from the 433 formation. The changes are mainly reflected in the frontcourt. One forward comes forward, but he is not the team's main offensive point. Two

The winger is the core of the offense. However, this formation also has high requirements on the overall strength of the team. It requires the speed of the two wingers to be fast enough, otherwise it will easily cause a disconnect between the offensive line and the midfield. And although it is a defensive formation,

But if the defensive midfielder's ability is not good, there will also be problems on the defensive end.

But Figo raised questions. He believed that this formation was not suitable for the current strength of the Portuguese team, and he preferred to use the 4231 formation, which was also the typical formation of the Galaxy Battleship when he was at Real Madrid.

The 4231 formation is a relatively popular total offense and total defense formation. The basic configuration is four defenders, two defensive midfielders, three attacking midfielders and a single forward. It is extremely concealed and flexible. First use the single forward as a pillar.

To rely on, and then use the hidden killers behind him to attack, it has the effect of a sudden attack. Of course, the requirements for the midfield organizational ability are also relatively large, which is the key to testing Li Zhao.

However, DeRozan still insisted on his arrangement, and everyone had no choice but to comply with his wishes in the end.

After the start of the second half, the offense and defense of both sides completely changed. The Portuguese team changed from an active offensive side to a passive defensive side.

But as Figo expected, with the Portuguese's unbalanced strength, it is indeed difficult to bring out the role of this formation, especially the lack of personnel in the midfielder position, which drags down the pace of the whole team, but in fact

It failed to play an effective defensive role.

In the 52nd minute, Pipiko of the Pibasikara team broke into the front of the Portuguese penalty area and was tripped by Moises, who also received a yellow card.

The Pibasicara team got a free kick opportunity from a good position. The opponent's midfielder Ferreira's free kick shot was slightly higher than the lintel.

Just when the Portuguese team was thinking about how to organize a counterattack, the referee's whistle sounded. He signaled that the ball would be severely punished because the Portuguese team members who lined up in the wall before the whistle just started. In response, the visiting team

This side can only accept it helplessly.

Ferreira's second free throw was of very high quality and very fast. Goalkeeper Lauro didn't even react and saw the ball hit the upper right corner.

1-2, Pibasicara team regained a victory.

Although this conceded goal seems normal, it also reflects the team's tactical and defensive problems on the other hand. Defense without offense is not a complete defense. But no matter what, this result is irreversible. And this goal

It also greatly boosted the morale of the Pibbasikara team, making their offensive even more intense.

Although Li Zhao wants to launch a counterattack, it is very difficult to retreat in such a situation. After all, he is not an alien Ronaldo, and he cannot solve all problems by himself. Moreover, even Ronaldo,

It is also impossible to maintain that state for a long time without the support of teammates.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhao's time with these teammates is still short. In addition, this can only be regarded as his third game since coming to Brazil, and the cooperation between them cannot reach the level it should be.

But despite this, Li Zhao still tried the effect of his strong attack with the ball. After kicking the ball near the center circle, he sprinted forward quickly and crossed the opponent's first line of defense in one fell swoop. At this time, he

However, the position is further forward than the forward.

In addition to Li Zhao, the team's midfield controller and organizer, Henrik is also very capable. He sent a high-quality through ball that accurately landed at Li Zhao's feet after passing two opposing players.

With no teammates coming to support, Li Zhao could only try to break through on his own. He used a big pendulum movement to pass an opponent player in front of him and then continued to break through. At this time, the opponent's help defender also came over. He was not afraid.

When the opponent makes a move, it would be more troublesome if the opponent is firmly stuck in position, and in a blink of an eye the opponent will pass in front of him.

The road ahead was smooth, and Li Zhao couldn't help but quicken his pace, and soon reached the edge of the penalty area. At this time, two more defenders came over to attack, but Li Zhao did not flinch, but faced him directly.

When the opponent in front was about to take a shot, Li Zhao cleverly pulled the ball aside, and then passed the first player with a Marseille spin. The second player was still some distance away from him. If Li Zhao was allowed to pass, he would be

It would allow him to form a single sword, so he chose to put a shovel.

Li Zhao has encountered many tackles before. However, his senses are excellent, so most of the time he can skillfully dodge such attacks. Basically, few people can succeed. This time too, he

He actually jumped up with the ball between his legs, narrowly avoiding the opponent's flying tackle. After landing, he had already formed a one-on-one confrontation with the goalkeeper. Facing the goalkeeper, he chose the far corner of the goal, and the ball passed under the armpit of the goalkeeper who was lying on the ground.

The pass went down and into the goal.

1-3, the Portuguese once again established their lead.

After scoring the goal, Li Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, finally turning the situation back to his favor. But then DeRozan made another substitution, using another midfielder, Carlos Correa.

Li Zhao was replaced.

This substitution surprised Li Zhao himself. There was no problem with his physical strength and he was in good condition. Maybe if he worked harder, he could make the situation more favorable to his side, but now that the signs have been raised,

He can only obey the arrangements.

"Why did you replace me? I am in good condition and there is no problem at all. You should know that if I am on the court, I can play a greater role." Li Zhao asked DeRozan after he came off. He was not

Questioning his tactics, but he was still a little dissatisfied with this substitution.

"The advantage is enough now, so there is no need to take risks. Moreover, if your performance is too outstanding, it will easily attract retaliatory fouls from the opponent. This can be regarded as a kind of protection for you. I believe that there is a two-goal advantage.

It's not difficult to hold on to this win," DeRozan explained.

"Okay, I hope you are right, but to be honest, I don't like your way of operating." Li Zhao said.

Everyone on the Portuguese side thought that the game was settled, even Li Zhao thought so, but the actual situation was far beyond their expectations.

Without Li Zhao, the Portuguese team's strength on the offensive end was also greatly reduced. As a result, there were problems in offense and defense, and it became an embarrassing situation where the front and back were disconnected. In fact, from the moment Li Zhao came off the field, the team had already

He was completely passive and was being beaten, and he was also a bit weak when facing the enemy. This scene also made Li Zhao and Figo shake their heads.

However, DeRozan only has the last substitution spot left, which can only be used at a critical moment, so we can only hope that the players on the field can do their best to hold on. Unfortunately, the development of the situation is very difficult.

Soon they were slapped in the face again.

In the 65th minute, a huge hole appeared in the Portuguese's defense, and their continuous mistakes finally cost them the goal.

Ferreira made a long pass into the Portuguese penalty area. After the defender made a mistake in clearing the ball, the ball went directly to Danilo's feet. After a slight adjustment, he shot furiously. Fortunately, goalkeeper Lauro responded in time, but

But he threw the ball and let it go. The ball went in the direction of Danilo. After he caught up again, he easily pushed the ball into the empty goal and succeeded.
