Chapter 332: Weakness of Being Caught
In the stands
The game hasn't started yet, and the fans are eating snacks and drinking drinks and chatting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The monkey looked at the "fat fan group" behind him and said to Yu Debao: "It's going to be the New Year, and in such a big battle, the fan group is not half of the original." ”
Yu Debao was not able to enter the squad today, but he still came to Porto, in addition to watching the game, he spent the Spring Festival with Gao Xiaodong, Monkey and others.
Yu Debao said: "Most of them are waiting at home to watch TV. ”
Monkey said: "It's not bad to be able to support Xiaodong in front of the TV, I remember one year the national football team was also the Chinese New Year's Eve game, CCTV repeatedly said that fans may be entangled in the Spring Festival Gala and the national football game to watch, in fact, they are too self-inflicted, fans do not watch either." ”
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "The Spring Festival Gala is the same as the national football team, it is becoming more and more impossible to watch, it turns out that the Spring Festival Gala is supported by Lao Zhao's sketches, and now Lao Zhao will only fry cold rice." ”
The monkey said: "The national football team still wants to find Xiao Dong to support it, you see the five local coaches who are running for the head coach of the national football team, and in the campaign plan launched, they unanimously stated that they want to form a team with Xiao Dong as the core, regardless of whether Xiao Dong is willing to join or not." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Qiang's face was a little ugly, and he said: "NND, originally this was Gao Bo's idea, hoping to use Xiaodong to boost the popularity of the national football team, but I didn't expect the other four campaign coaches to draw gourds in the same way, and they all said that they wanted to build a team with Xiaodong as the core." ”
Xiao Le said: "This is good, no matter who becomes the head coach of the national team, Xiao Dong can be selected." ”
The monkey said: "Sister Xiaole, in our country, who can be selected for the national team is not the head coach alone. ”
Chen Qiang said: "Yes, there is a contradiction between Xiaodong and the Football Association, because the position of the chairman has not yet been decided, and the voice of the fans calling for Xiaodong to enter the national team is getting stronger and stronger, and the major vice chairmen have acquiesced to Xiaodong's entry into the national team, but the five candidates have done this, I heard that the people of the Football Association are very angry and think that Xiaodong is forcing the palace." ”
The monkey sighed: "I didn't expect it to become like this, is the chairman of the Football Association confirmed now, Mr. Chen." ”
Chen Qiang said: "Seven or eight out of ten are the vice chairman of the sheep, and it is estimated that it will be announced in early February." ”
At this time, the players from both sides came out of the locker room, and the scene erupted into a tsunami-like shout, and the opposite side could not hear the speech clearly, and the monkey and Chen Qiang cheered with the fans.
After the cheers subsided, the on-site commentators began to introduce the line-ups of both sides, and focused on introducing newcomer Falcao to the fans," ...... Colombian Tigers also started, he can be regarded as the strongest newcomer in the Portuguese Super League, came to Porto to play six games, he scored 6 goals, the efficiency is higher than the high and small winter during the Rexos period, today Sporting Lisbon will definitely defend him tightly, let's see if the Tigers can be powerful again!"
on the field
After Porto and Sporting Lisbon exchanged flags and crests, the game finally began with a whistle from the referee.
Porto, who are playing at home, hope to be fully successful in one game, and today put on a 433 attacking formation, with Hulk, Falcao and Risandro playing forwards, Gao Xiaodong, Meleles and Fernando playing in the midfield, and launched a fierce attack on Sporting Lisbon in the opening game.
Although Sporting Lisbon also came to the Dragons Stadium with the purpose of winning, they still have a clear understanding of the strength of the two sides, Bento put on a solid formation of 442, fighting in the midfield, trying to steal from the midfield and then attack the Porto penalty area, because this is the easiest way to score goals.
After the opening, the two sides battled fiercely in midfield, with each looking to open the opponent's goal first.
While Porto's front three have the physicality, speed and skill, Sporting Lisbon's players are very focused on their defence, with people ready to help in addition to one-on-one marking.
The defense of Gao Xiaodong is more tight, except for Veloso's special marking, everyone else pays attention to cutting off Gao Xiaodong's passing lines forward and to both sides, forcing Gao Xiaodong to pass back.
In addition to being more targeted defensively, Sporting Lisbon is also very decisive in fouling, as soon as Porto is a threat, they will immediately foul, preferring to give Porto a free kick rather than let Porto play the attack.
Apparently. The smooth sailing Porto's preparation for this game and determination to win this game are not as good as the away Sporting Lisbon, they are a little higher than Sporting Lisbon, still playing at home, but the game played for half an hour, Porto did not have the upper hand in terms of field and statistics.
Ferreira's face on the sidelines grew more serious, he knew it was definitely a tough fight, but now it looked like he was underestimating his opponent's determination.
Hulk and Falcao played as wingers today, but Falcao preferred a central striker position close to the penalty area, and he often habitually ran to the middle, often overlapping with Rjandro in the middle, and leaving gaps on the wings.
This is often the case when playing against weak teams, but the opponent's slow speed of passing and receiving the ball makes it difficult to seize this gap in Porto, but Sporting Lisbon is the top team in the Portuguese Super League, and it is very important to give them such a chance.
In the 35th minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon cut off Hulk's cross from the edge of the penalty area, and their left-back Abel had already cut forward when Falcao went to the middle, and immediately ran for the ball.
Veloso passed the ball to Vukčević before Gao Xiaodong made a swoop, and Vukčević passed diagonally to Abel.
Sporting Lisbon midfielder Jose Moutinho was also well prepared, quickly pulling wide and attacking Porto's right flank with Albert.
At this moment, it was too late for Falcao to return to the defense, and Porto right-back Sapuruna had to face the attack of Abel and Moutinho alone.
Sapuruna was originally a tall central defender, slow, slow turn, and then was attacked by two people, and was instantly cleaned, Moutinho along the bottom line into the penalty area, in the face of Alves's defense, the ball was passed backwards to the front of the penalty area, at this moment the fullback Abel has cut to the edge of the penalty area, he hit the ball, the ball is on the outside instep, drawing a strange arc to fly to the far corner of the goal.
Heldon had already blocked the near corner, but he didn't expect the shot to fly into the far corner, and he could only stand there and watch the ball go into the net.
1:0
Sporting Lisbon took the lead.
The fiery dragon stadium instantly quieted down, as if a huge basin of cold water had been poured on God's head.
Sporting Lisbon began to celebrate wildly, and it was a wonderful feeling to be able to score in the stadium of their arch-rivals.
Sporting Lisbon coach Paulo Bento excitedly ran more than ten meters along the side of the pitch, and at this moment he saw the dawn of victory.
Porto coach Ferreira's face darkened, it is very fatal to concede the ball first in a strong dialogue, the three strikers in front are not very good defenders, if they are counterattacked by Sporting Lisbon, it will be difficult to play in the following games.
Ferreira knows that Falcao likes to run in the middle, as a veteran coach who has been coaching for decades, he knew after a week that Falcao was suitable to play center, but Risandro has always been the first choice for a center forward, Falcao just came to play center, let Risandro play winger, Risandro is definitely unwilling, so Ferreira can only let Falcao play winger.
Judging from the previous game, the effect is not bad, you can score goals when you run to the middle, and you can keep up with the defense, but I didn't expect to face a strong opponent for the first time, and this gap was caught by the opponent.
Porto's on-site commentator was harshly critical of Porto's performance: "From the beginning to the present, Porto did not play resolutely enough, not fierce enough, did not give it their all, the players just looked hard and looked like they wanted to win, and the opponent played him as if it was a knockout game, the result was definitely different...... In addition, Falcao is not an all-round player like Gao Xiaodong, he can't play winger, let Falcao play winger, it's better to let Lisandro play winger, or play double forward, play the original 4312 formation, three forwards who are not in good shape, let whoever is on the bench ,......"
Whoever is not in good shape will be allowed to play as a substitute, the commentator said so, and the fans thought so, but they all forgot that the performance of Porto's three forwards in front of them was very good, and it seemed a waste to let anyone play as a substitute, so Ferreira put out the lineup of three strikers.
