Chapter 42: Giving back to the other in his own way
Weekend, Ourense, Okutto Stadium. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is a small northwestern city with a population of just over 100,000 people, Ourense has a strong football atmosphere.
The stands on both sides were full, and the home atmosphere was also the best among the teams in the second league that Gao Han had ever seen.
The momentum created by more than 5,000 fans was enough to affect the visiting team.
When the home team gets the ball, they immediately cheer, and when the away team gets the ball and boos mercilessly, the Ourense fans are supporting their team in this way.
Our city is small, but our team is not weak!
Ourense head coach Francisco Soler thinks so.
Especially after the start of the game.
Because he found that the visiting guests did not rush to attack as usual, but shrank the defensive line.
They're going to keep it!
The start of the game was dull, with Ourense and Atletico Madrid both probing, and neither of them had the intention of pressing out to attack.
In particular, the second team of Atletico Madrid reversed the tactics of pressing and attacking after the opening of the past three rounds, and instead held their own half, leaving two strikers in front to harass.
"They're going to fight back defensively?" said Soler, who was surprised.
Generally speaking, teams in the lower leagues are not as strong as those in the top leagues, and they often only have one lineup, a set of skilled tactics, and then a familiar set of game routines around the tactics.
In Francisco Soler's view, the reason why Atletico Madrid II wants to attack is because they want to take the lead, control the opportunity, and through the attack, they can score the best goals, and if they don't, they can also disrupt the opponent's rhythm and game plan.
Simply put, let the game go at your own pace.
But now, Atletico Madrid's second team has given up on the attack.
This doesn't make sense!
Why didn't he play his cards at all?
What about the opening scramble?
"Maybe they're not sure either!" guessed the assistant.
The two teams are on equal points, and although Atletico Madrid II scores more goals, Ourense conceded zero goals, and the two sides can be described as evenly matched.
But, this is Ourense's home turf.
Atletico Madrid's second team plays defensive counter-attacks away from home, which can be regarded as a pragmatic strategy.
Soler nodded, it was indeed a possibility, but he wasn't sure either.
"Shall we press out?" the assistant suggested.
Since the opponent is willing to give up the initiative, as the home team, it is very important to adopt a more aggressive tactic.
But Soler shook his head, "Wait. ”
He thinks it's better to be careful.
…………
…………
"Haha, I wonder if it was unexpected by them?"
Gao Han Zhuoli stood on the sidelines, smiling and asking Cantarero.
The experienced assistant also smiled wryly, "Unexpectedly yes, but, how do we fight next?"
Cantarero's idea is the same as Soler's, giving up the opening attack, Atletico Madrid II is tantamount to giving up the rhythm and game situation to the opponent, so how will the team play next?
But this is a long-standing problem for all professional head coaches, but it is not a problem for Gao Han.
Because he has a skill card, and it is still three stars, and he can upgrade four stars at any time.
Not to mention that the opponent is Ourense, even if it is to challenge the La Liga team, Gao Han has the confidence to fight.
In the past, when Gao Han coached the China City team, the strength of the team was too weak, and the opponents encountered in the game were much higher than the China City team, so in the game, saving life was the most important thing.
Because of this, Gao Han will pay attention to the attack, and will use the skill card desperately.
But now it's different.
The overall strength of Atletico Madrid's second team, especially after Gao Han promoted players such as Torres, Antonio López and Gabi, and introduced Villa and Xavi Alonso, the overall strength of the team is considered a strong team in the second league.
Since this is the case, the skill card can no longer be used casually, and you have to pay attention to skills.
Because skill cards only last ten minutes!
As the old saying goes, good steel is on the cutting edge!
Either you don't use it, and you have to maximize the effect of the skill card!
And sometimes, the fist is withdrawn in order to punch faster, fiercer and more powerful!
"What do we do now?" Cantarero also frowned, looking sad.
"They don't seem to have any intention of attacking right now. ”
Gao Han turned his head sideways, glanced at Francisco Soler in the home team's coach's box, and smiled.
"Then let's spend it!"
"Consumption?"
"Yes, anyway, we are away, and the draw is also earned, what are you afraid of?"
Belch......
Cantarero couldn't believe it, was this like what Gao Han said?
Didn't he always ask the team to be aggressive and strive for more goals?
"Don't worry, under the noses of more than 5,000 fans, I don't believe they don't press out to fight!"
Even if they don't press it out, I have a way to get them to press it out!
…………
…………
As the clock wore on, Francisco Soler couldn't sit still.
At first he was able to sit in the dugout, but gradually, he walked outside, and then he couldn't stand still.
Because of the excitement!
He felt that he had sensed the other party's intentions!
More than ten minutes have passed since the game, but the second team of Atletico Madrid still has no idea of pressing out.
However, the two strikers of Atletico Madrid's second team have caused a lot of problems for Ourense's backline.
They cooperate with each other tacitly, and their personal abilities are excellent, and they can always seize an opportunity every now and then to create a threat.
What's even more troublesome is the number 14 that is behind the midfielder of Atletico Madrid's second team.
The player's passing ability was excellent, and he was always able to get the ball to the feet of the two strikers as soon as they ran out of space, which made it difficult for the Ourense players to defend.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!
No matter how confident Soler is in his team's defense, he can't stand such harassment from Atletico Madrid's second team.
What if a player makes a mistake?
Okay, even if you take a step back, the team doesn't make mistakes, and if you continue to consume like this, the two sides are tied, who will suffer?
In the matchup between the two top teams, the away team got a draw, which can be regarded as a complete retreat.
What about Ourense, who can be the home team?
Soler began to have the idea of winning the second team of Atletico Madrid, with Orense at the top of the table.
But if it is a draw, Ourense will still have to be subservient.
As his assistant just said, since the other party has decided to defend, then he should take the initiative.
The fruit of victory, which represents three points, is right in front of you, as long as you stretch out your hand, pick it, and it belongs to you!
At this moment, Soler was finally tempted!
…………
…………
"Ourense has finally attacked!"
Cantarero was excited.
Gao Han squinted at his assistant, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "What are you happy about?"
"They're pressing!"
"And then?"
"We should press out too. ”
"Fight against each other?"
Cantarero didn't say anything, but that's what he meant in his eyes.
Attack against attack, what's the matter?
Sitting on the two major scorers, who is afraid of whom?
"It's not time yet!"
"Isn't it time?" Cantarero didn't understand.
Gao Han turned his head sideways and looked at the old man in his fifties in front of the home team's coach's box.
"Soler is a very careful old fox, and although they press out, as soon as we move, he immediately retracts and plays the defensive counterattack that they do best. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Han looked at Cantarero, "It's not that you don't know how difficult Ourense's defense is!"
It's an honest saying.
Ourense's defense is really tough, and they started off on counter-attacking.
"Aren't they the best at counter-attacking?"
Gao Han's eyes narrowed, "Hehe, let's fight their defensive counterattack today!"
This is called giving back to the other in his way.
Cantarero was taken aback, and then it dawned on him.
With Ourense's initiative to attack, Atletico Madrid's second team has gradually exposed its own weaknesses.
That's the centre-back and the right side!
Originally, during the Zambrano period, the main lineup that dominated the West League has fallen apart this summer, and all four main players of the entire back line have left, which has directly led to a serious shortage of people in the back line.
Before Gao Han took over the team, the team also promoted and brought in several defenders, and later Gao Han promoted Antonio López and Raul Camara from the second team.
The former is firmly in the main force, but Kamara is too young and not enough, and the potential is only one hundred and thirty, even if he really cultivates to the limit, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in La Liga.
It's not a good deal to use skill cards on this group of players!
"Sergio. ”
"Huh?"
"Go back and ask the scouting department for a piece of information, the two positions of central defender and right-back, need to be strengthened. ”
Sergio Garcia nodded in agreement.
The transfer market has long been closed, and even if it is to be introduced, it will have to wait at least until January, when the winter break is the time for transfers.
But for now, let the scouts investigate and prepare.
Gao Han now has a transfer budget of two million euros in his hands, and it is enough to fill the vacancies of these two positions.
…………
…………
On the pitch, the attacking Orense tasted the sweetness and began to put more pressure on the Atletico Madrid II defence, while the back line of the Sheets became more and more stormy, especially on the right side.
Soler straightened his back on the sidelines, and he had a hunch that he was getting closer and closer to the goal.
It's just a little bit close!
But at this time, Gao Han took advantage of a dead ball opportunity, walked to the sidelines, called the right central defender and right back Kamara over, reprimanded him fiercely, and adjusted the team's defense.
When the two return to the court, the Samsung Defensive Card and the Samsung Confrontation Card are immediately thrown out.
Two skill cards are activated at the same time, activating the effect of the combination card of the Iron Wall.
The results are immediate, faster than anyone else!
The right side of the originally stormy Atletico Madrid II team has become solid after a sideline adjustment by the head coach, especially when he saw the vigorous performance of the two players of the No. 3 central defender and the No. 18 right-back, Soler was stunned.
But he didn't believe in evil!
After many years of coaching, his rich experience told him that this was unreasonable and there must be a problem!
As a result, Ourense continued to strengthen his forces and attacked the right side of Atletico Madrid's second team.
Paradoxically, the stronger Ourense's attack, the better and more solid the Sheets' right centre-back and right-back will be.
It was as if the two of them had been reborn in an instant!
Soler couldn't figure it out, and even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure it out.
But just when he was distressed, Gao Han once again used two-star assault cards and three-star attack cards against Villa and Torres, forming a combination card effect that improved by leaps and bounds, and started Ourense's counterattack.
Soon, Ourense finally made a mistake.
Atletico Madrid's second midfielder Xavi Alonso managed to break the ball and quickly handed it to Gabi.
Gabi took the ball and went straight forward, Torres retreated to receive the ball, turned and passed diagonally behind him.
Villa was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through Ourense's defense in an instant, receiving the ball and smashing straight towards the goal.
There is no suspense, the gourd baby broke the door with a single knife!
1 to 0!
