Chapter 059 Fighting Santa Fe Again
In this game, Li Zhao did not do the parachute stunt he did in the last home game. The key is not to let it become a habit. To a certain extent, this can indeed attract popularity, but it is not consuming himself.
.
In fact, it is not a complete give up. Li Zhao will still do it in some situations of great commemorative significance in the future. As for the scale, it is entirely up to him to judge.
As for letting other team members try skydiving, forget it. That was Li Zhao's idea when he first owned this aircraft company, and he has long since given up on this unrealistic idea.
In this Copa Libertadores match, the Portuguese still arranged a 433 formation, intending to give the opponent a powerful start at the beginning.
Different from the previous game, this time Leonard directly entered the starting lineup. The final starting lineup was goalkeeper: Dana; defenders: Diego, Gil, Rodrigo Cayo, Jorge; midfielder: Ronaldinho,
Li Zhao, Hu Jinghang; frontcourt: Leonard, Wang Ziyi, Harry K.
Compared with the same period last year, the number of Portuguese fans has increased rapidly, almost more than tripling. Until now, this upward trend has not slowed down. The moment they saw the players coming out, the fans in the stands were
They burst into continuous applause, and their enthusiasm naturally inspired the Portuguese players.
After the start of the game, the Portuguese showed great initiative, and they had a very large advantage on this familiar venue. And Santa Fe also felt the bitter consequences of the exchange of advantages this time, and they were not originally strong in terms of strength.
They had the advantage. However, they had already prepared for this, so they adopted a defensive counterattack after the opening, which also kept them in a state of being suppressed on the field.
In the 3rd minute of the opening, Li Zhao used his personal ability to pass several people. After attracting the attention of several defenders of the opponent, he transferred the ball to Harik in the neutral position. The latter started at high speed and threw away the pursuers, successfully gaining the goal.
It was a chance for a single shot. But his handling of the final shot was a bit poor, and he missed it by just a hair.
Although it was a pity that he failed to score, the Portuguese continued to work hard and got another excellent opportunity in the 7th minute. Leonard's pass near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area was blocked. Fortunately, the ball was passed by him again.
After getting it, the adjusted pass accurately found Wang Ziyi.
After the latter stepped in, he jumped straight towards the right goal, but the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and struggled to drag the ball over the crossbar. Although the attack failed, he still won a corner kick.
The next corner kick was handed over to Ronaldinho, but his corner kick this time had an unexpected reward, and he scored directly.
The ball seemed to fly high and then fall backward, but at the last moment it turned a strange corner and flew into the upper right corner of the goal under the astonished gaze of everyone. Faced with such a magic ball, Santa Fe
The goalkeeper was helpless.
1-0, the Portuguese took the lead, which was a good start.
Conceding the ball prematurely also completely disrupted the Santa Fe coach's original plan. If it was a knockout match, he would have to take a big gamble now, but under such circumstances, he
There was some hesitation.
In terms of points, they have won all three previous games. Even if they lose today's game, it doesn't matter. At most, the top spot will be returned to the Portuguese. It will not have a big impact on their promotion, and they only need to win in the remaining games.
A draw in two games is basically stable, so there is really no need to work too hard.
In view of this, he still chose to continue to defend against counterattacks. Of course, if there is a chance, he will counterattack in time. Even if there is no chance, at least the loss will not be big. For this reason, it will definitely not work if he does not concede too many goals. After all, the goal difference is still
very important.
Hiddink obviously saw this. Since the opponent is not in a hurry, there is no need for him to push too hard. Steady control of the rhythm is the best way, which not only saves energy but still controls the initiative on the court.
.
Santa Fe's defensive ability in the backcourt is indeed not bad, otherwise the Portuguese would not have missed a goal in the last game, although there is a certain degree of moisture in this.
The Portuguese side continued to attack, but Santa Fe's defense was very tenacious. Many times when it seemed that they were about to break through, they even resorted to fouls to stop their opponents. Even Li Zhao was violated many times. For this reason, Santa Fe
Of course, the Philippine players also took cards, but in order to prevent the opponent from scoring goals, they did not care. Fouling, which kills the enemy by one thousand and hurts oneself eight hundred, although it cannot solve the fundamental problem, can still play a big role.
, otherwise it wouldn’t have become a common trick used by both sides on the football field.
As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate, and until the first half was about to enter stoppage time, the two sides still maintained the score. But just when the fans thought that the first half of the game would be over, Santa Fe launched
A successful counterattack.
This raid still caught the Portuguese team's slack at the last moment, and Santa Fe's backcourt drove directly to the front. After Moreno successfully countered offside, he got a single chance. Facing a tight formation waiting for Dyna, he calmly pushed the ball.
The far corner of the goal was won, and this ball brought the scores of the two teams back to the same starting line.
"Everyone performed well for most of the first half, but they lacked some luck in scoring goals, but they made mistakes in the final stage. Moreno on the other side is a dangerous person, so the defense must be focused.
Okay, you have to do a good job of marking people and double-teaming. I don't mean to blame you when I say this. I know everyone has tried their best. But as long as you are on the court, you can't relax mentally.
Especially at the end of the game, we have to grit our teeth and persevere. It is often the easiest time to lose the ball at this time. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate mistakes, we can at least minimize our mistakes.
At the beginning of the second half, we will continue with the previous tactical play. There is no problem with our thinking and we hope that everyone will not be affected." After making a general summary, Hiddink emphasized tactics and will.
"There is a situation that everyone can pay attention to. Although we have not scored a goal for the time being, the opponent's number of fouls is obviously more than ours. This is actually more advantageous for us. We can definitely use this in the second half.
Create more free kick opportunities. If they still use fouls to solve problems directly, sooner or later they will not be able to hold on. If we stick to it, I believe the final victory will definitely belong to us!" Assistant coach Su Maozhen also added some valuable content.
.
Hiddink nodded, confirming his statement, and finally said: "Of course, I hope everyone will properly protect themselves when fighting, don't stick to the ball too much, and move the ball out in time if they feel trapped in a double team.
, after all, we still have a long way to go!
There are many loyal fans watching today, so your performance is not only for me, but also to be worthy of the club and them, do you understand?"
"Understood!" The team members all responded in unison, and at this moment they regained their confidence.
"They want to hit us with just one goal. Obviously they are overthinking it. It's not a big deal if they lose the ball. It's just a matter of winning it back. Are you right, Brother Zhao?" When he came out of the player tunnel again
Wang Ziyi said.
Li Zhao nodded thoughtfully, and then his eyes lit up and he said: "I have an idea! In this way, we still use the old plan. If we are lucky enough, maybe we can regain the lead at the beginning of the second half."
After he stated his plan, several Portuguese midfielders and frontcourt players also responded.
Chapter completed!
