"Don't worry, everyone. We still have a lot of opportunities in the second half. As long as we can perform well and don't let them disrupt the rhythm, we can win this victory. Anyway, what we need to pay attention to in a while is the following.

Point..." Before the coach even entered the lounge, Su Maozhen took the lead in analyzing the precautions and requirements for the second half with the players. He was also very involved. It wasn't until he noticed the difference in the players' expressions that he realized that he was currently standing

Hiddink behind him.

"Uh, Gus~, you haven't been listening, have you?" Su Maozhen said with a guilty conscience. He was still a little afraid that he would steal the spotlight from the coach.

"It's okay. I just came here. I wasted some time because I chatted with my old friend Tite. But what you said is very good. Don't be afraid of being wrong. Keep it up. There will be a day in the future when you need to face it alone.

These questions." Hiddink responded, and the full name of Tite in his mouth was Adnol Leonardo Bacchi, who is the current coach of the Corinthians team.

Although Tite's reputation may not be obvious on the world-class stage, in Brazil and South America, he is definitely a meritorious coach worthy of admiration.

Although his playing days were short and he retired at only 27 years old, he also played for three clubs including the Portuguese.

The subsequent coaching era will be much more glorious. He has won almost all championships including the Brazilian League, Brazilian Cup, Copa Libertadores, Cup Winners' Cup and even the Club World Cup, and will be the best in his coaching career.

Most of his time was dedicated to Corinthians.

As if he understood what the players were thinking, Hiddink continued: "It seems that Tite is determined to win this year's league championship. At least they are doing very well so far and are very stable. The final champion is likely to be them."

.We may be able to temporarily surpass them and rise to the top position, but due to various factors, the ups and downs of performance are inevitable, and being ranked in the top three is already a good result."

"Gus, do you want to express some other meaning?" Su Maozhen vaguely felt that there was something in his words, but it was not quite the same, so he couldn't help asking.

"Don't think too much. What we should consider now is how to win the current game." Hiddink gave him a suggestive look, but did not respond directly, so the next topic returned to the formal discussion.

.

The second half of the game started quickly, but the situation was not as smooth as they thought. Corinthians coach Tite obviously made adjustments according to the situation again, and the effect was very obvious. The Portuguese's originally good offensive was blocked.

The opponent was advantageous in containing it, and their backcourt also encountered a strong impact from the opponent. The situation may reverse again at any time. Fortunately, the performance of the defense was stable enough afterwards to ensure that the goal was safe for the time being.

From this point of view, Hiddink has really encountered a difficult opponent, and naturally he will not give in, let alone let this situation be discovered. Looking at his thoughtful look, you can tell that it is

A new response method was brewing. However, the situation on the field suddenly changed at this moment.

In the 54th minute, Luciano's casual shot from the periphery unexpectedly hit the target. The ball he shot changed course after hitting Diego's outstretched calf, and headed towards the upper right corner of the goal. To this kind of expectation,

Even the best goalkeeper would have a hard time stopping the ball from a different line, so the ball went in inexplicably.

1-2, the Portuguese were once again facing a situation of lagging behind, which made the players feel angry. Thinking about their defensive performance after today, but luck did not seem to take care of their side as the home team, always in a certain situation.

At this moment, an uncontrolled unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

"Don't always think about letting your teammates complete the final blow. Maybe you are not the strongest in a certain skill, but no one in the team can match you in terms of overall ability, so you have to stand up for yourself at critical moments.

He even took the initiative to charge forward." This was a brief speech given by Hiddink after he called Li Zhao to the sidelines after losing the ball.

Immediately afterwards, he also made a substitution, replacing Harik with Henrik. His physical fitness had seriously declined, and his role was also very limited because he was under the focus of the other party's care. With Henrik,

After the midfield combination of Ronaldinho and Hu Jinghang, Li Zhao will also be pushed further forward to form a new brotherly striker with Wang Ziyi and Leonard.

After returning to the court, Li Zhao, as the captain, also promptly gathered the players to clear their minds: "It's still too early. Throw away all the unnecessary baggage and ideas. Only by working hard can we equalize or even overtake."

Hope. If we still have to worry about it at our home court, what should we do if we encounter a worse situation in the future? Come on! I believe we can do it."

Li Zhao's words still had a certain effect. With his cohesion in the team, it was different. At least when facing the opponent again, the Portuguese players became more daring to make moves, and the offense gradually opened up.

Although after changing their style, the Portuguese generally had more advantages on the field, it has not yet turned into a goal. Time passed little by little, and after the game entered the 80th minute, the score still did not change. The three of them still had no change.

The new striker formed was sharp enough, but it was still a little short of scoring.

Among them, although Wang Ziyi's powerful shot is accurate, it does not have much skill. Although it is a nightmare for most goalkeepers, it is not impossible to resolve. Some experienced goalkeepers have the ability to use skill to unload the force.

The ability. Corinthians goalkeeper Ochsa is exactly like this, but in addition, his wingspan also makes his coverage area larger. Although Leonard's ball angle and skill are good, it lacks a little power.

Such a ball was also blocked by him. Oshisa's performance at the beginning of the second half today can be described as extraordinary and brave, and even made Li Zhao feel a little abnormal. At least his performance in the first half was also very good.

, but definitely not to the level of almost perversion like now.

"Pass the ball to me!" Li Zhao hasn't used his skills for a long time, and he didn't even consider using them in some of the more important games before. After all, this is unfair to others, but now he still cares about it.

Not so much anymore. Taking advantage of an open space, he asked Leonard for the ball on the other side, and immediately activated his skills the next moment.

Corinthians' No. 13 defender Fulujian originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal the ball, but he didn't expect that Li Zhao's speed had accelerated so much. In an instant, he had got the ball ahead of him, and then he used a bicycle kick.

The action was passed, and then only the opponent's goalkeeper Oshisa was left in front of Li Zhao.

Seeing Li Zhao getting closer and closer to him, Oshisa, who was still a little complacent at first, was no longer calm this time. He felt an extremely dangerous aura coming towards him. After a moment of hesitation, he decisively abandoned the door.

And Chu tried his best to block all possible shooting angles of the opponent. In fact, he almost did it.

At this moment, Li Zhao's dominant foot swung greatly, and Oshisa also subconsciously reacted.

"No, this is a fake move!" Out of the last trace of caution in his heart, Oshisa reluctantly pulled back at the last moment when he was about to make a move. Although his judgment was right, it was already too late. Li Zhao had already

The moment he reacted, he adjusted his posture, and then used his other foot to kick the ball to his other side, passing through his side and into the back goal.

2-2, the Portuguese finally equalized the score in the 88th minute of the game. But Li Zhao's goal was not over yet, and he wanted to take advantage of the momentum to pursue the victory.

As soon as the time entered overtime, Li Zhao made a comeback. What's interesting is that the situation this time was the same as before. It was still the same fake shot, but this time Oshisa didn't get hit again, and his reaction was better than before.

Quick, keep moving towards the target.

"Aren't you fooled?!" Li Zhao was not surprised when he noticed that the other party did not make the same mistake. On the contrary, he showed a devilish smile on his face and continued his progress.

Seeing the two getting closer and closer, when Oshisa was preparing how to hold the ball, Li Zhao changed direction again, so the opponent had to move accordingly. But Oshisa followed closely and responded quickly.

It was so fast that Li Zhao changed directions twice and was unable to get rid of him.

But that doesn't mean there is no way. With the blessing of his stunts, his perception of time around him has reached the extreme. And the two consecutive changes of direction have made Oshisa's pace a little disordered. This is what Li Zhao is waiting for.

A moment later, when he changed direction again to reveal the space between the opponent's legs, he stuffed the ball through the middle and successfully penetrated the goal again.

3-2 also became the final score, and the Portuguese struggled to win the opponent at home.

"Congratulations on winning this game, but this is only temporary. Today we just lost to Richard's last-minute burst, but he cannot continue in this state forever. As long as you relax, we will return to the top of the list.

There are many people coveting this position, but the final winner must be us!" After the game, although Tite congratulated Hiddink, his words revealed that he was determined to win this year's league championship.

manner,

Hiddink could only smile in response to this. It was not that he did not want to fight, but the actual situation and goals did not allow it.

Another strong contender for the top spot, Palmeiras, ended in a draw in this round, so the Portuguese finally had a rare chance to reach the top again. But perhaps Tite’s words were really true. In the next 20th round of the league, Portugal

When they challenged Santos away from home, they failed to extend their victory again.

Li Zhao's performance in this game was very average. At the last moment, he relied on Wang Ziyi's header to get a draw at 1-1. Corinthians won again this round, so the top spot was ranked first.
