Chapter 355
Portugal's goal seemed to have turned on some terrible switch, and in the following time, the atmosphere on both sides suddenly became delicate.
Although the Angolan players did not feel anything, it was clear that the Portuguese side had noticed something very strange.
"Hey, what is Juan talking to Costinia?"
"I don't know, what else did he just talk to Deco...... To be honest, I'm still a little worried about Portugal's centre-forward, and although Gomez was okay against Angola, who knows if he will be nervous again......
"Actually, I don't think the nerve knife is scary, what is scary is that sometimes the performance in our backcourt is really scary."
"yes, especially Valente, looking eager to try, does he want to shoot......"
"I don't know, ah, you see, Juan is talking to him!"
"Are you trying to persuade him to calm down in the backcourt?"
Many fans whispered, a pair of eyes glued to the big screen.
Football is not in the Portuguese half at the moment, and the Angolan players are trying their best to find a way to get the football into the opponent's half safely, but there seems to be no practical way to do it yet.
And Juan, who is hotly discussed by fans, did say a word or two to many people in the middle of the game.
In fact, he rarely conveyed his thoughts to the players during the game, after all, he was also a head coach, and at this time he opened his mouth a bit of a transgression, and Juan obviously did not intend to be disrespectful to half of his mentor, not to mention that the tactics that Scolari came up with now are quite good, even Juan has to praise a good idea.
Although the 4-2-3-1 formation has been in place for a long time, Scolari has incorporated a lot of Juan's "3-5-2" mentality, which is why he can quickly win a game at the beginning.
Seeing that Angola seemed to be a little burned by the goal, Juan smiled and said something to several players around him, including Costinha, Deco, Valente and Carvalho.
Carvalho is definitely the one with the most mixed feelings.
At the beginning of last year, Juan led Deportivo La Coruna met Chelsea in the Champions League, and what happened after that is clear to everyone...... To be honest, Carvalho never imagined that there would be a time since when he would be able to play alongside Juan as a teammate.
After experiencing his chill on the sidelines, it was especially magical to see him running over on the pitch to say something serious at this moment.
“…… That's it. Juan blinked after speaking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Not really, but I think the tactic you mentioned is a little familiar." Carvalho blinked, trying to focus.
At this moment, Angola are still in their own half, and they cannot cross that line alive or dead.
It's been about 20 minutes since that happened, and it's not that the Angolan players don't want to cross over, it's that Portugal's front line is too ferocious.
With Juan, the best interceptor, in the back, and Costina, Valente and others running to the front from the back to support, Angola is indeed very cautious.
At least the ball should be safer with them, right?
So Angola began to prepare a bus very recklessly, ready to let the Portuguese players stare at themselves.
In fact, technical teams like Portugal and Brazil are most afraid of counterattacking defense, and the opposite side is like a turtle shell, just move it, but if you can't move, you will be very aggrieved.
Obviously, neither Scolari nor Juan can afford this to happen, this is the first game, and who doesn't want their first game at the World Cup to get off to a good start?
So Juan began to use his brain, and after consulting Scolari's opinion, several players whispered to each other, and this obvious appearance of action shocked many people, showing a look of interest.
"Is this Juan Díaz trying to make trouble again?"
"Hahaha, come on, I like to watch troubles the most!"
"To tell you the truth, I like it too!"
Juan did want to make trouble, and his idea was very simple.
A technical team like them is most afraid of encountering all kinds of turtle shells, which is true, especially since many teams can't beat through a defensive counterattack, making their opponents feel all kinds of grievances...... For example, Chelsea, they are a good player, and this kind of defensive counterattack is put on the face of many team managers who vomit blood in their hearts.
Even many people began to joke, generally calling this wave of turtle shells simply "persuasion to retreat".
What is "persuasion to retreat"?
Don't attack much, or even don't attack at all, just take a group of people here to defend, organize defense, intercept, organize defense, defense...... Such a reincarnation of tactical play.
There is a bit of a resignation to this tactic, which means that they just need to huddle in their own half of the court and let the players of the opposing team keep attacking and attacking, and they will not move.
In a game that sometimes counts overtime for more than 100 minutes, this style of play is obviously enough to preserve one's physical strength, and it can also consume a lot of physical strength on the opposite side, forcing the opponent to voluntarily give up the victory of the game - seriously, generally the opposite side has no physical strength when it comes to the end, and then these people will attack again, which can be said to be the most disgusting way of playing...... This is also the reason why Mourinho has always had a group of opponents who have been so aggrieved that they can only stare dryly.
The Angolan side obviously also wants to engage in a wave of "persuasion and retreat" to grind to the end of the game, and their thoughts Juan can also guess.
- But if they want to do this, they also have to weigh whether they are hard enough.
If they were hard turtle shells like Chelsea who were good at this style of play themselves, Juan might still be dignified, but ......
Angola came up in a 4-4-2 attacking formation.
It's not good for them to put the bus at this time, right?
Juan didn't think it was good anyway, so the bad water in his stomach began to boil again.
At this moment, Carvalho said that Juan's tactics were somewhat familiar, and Juan did not deny it, blinking: "You just say that you can't come." ”
"Of course!" Carvalho said without hesitation, and then hesitated again, "But is this really okay, if there is no one left in the backfield......"
"It's okay, there's Ricardo in the back." Juan grinned at him, turned and ran away, the last sentence slowly dissipated in the wind, Carvalho was stunned, shook his head and smiled: "It turns out that the familiarity is ...... here"
What did Juan say?
He only threw out a sentence lightly: "What's more, they will never have a chance to come to the back again." ”
And why does Carvalho sound familiar?
In the 04-05 season, Chelsea, who cut all their opponents in the league and cut vegetables very neatly, met Deportivo La Coruna, who was also invincible in La Liga, in the Champions League.
It was two tough games and Chelsea ended up in the last 16.
And at the time, Juan Díaz used such a tactic!
When I was on the court, I still remember the turbulent waves in my heart when I saw the players on the opposite side rushing like a tsunami, and even when I watched the replay later, I could always recall the horror of the opposing army.
And now, according to Juan...... It seems like you want to be a part of this great army?
"Interesting," Carvalho's eyes flashed, smiling, "it's so interesting!" ”
Obviously, he wasn't the only one who thought so, and although they couldn't say a lot of specific things about the formations and tactics that Juan used during the game, they were still very clear about the power of it.
At the thought that they might have to blend in later, several people were heartbeats and shortness of breath, and their eyes unconsciously glowed.
Juan looked at the situation in front of him, and Angola were still very cautious back and forth, looking like they were going to stay in their own half of the field, not taking into account that they were the side that was behind by a goal at this time.
But in fact, Juan can still understand it, they want to recharge until the last time to fight.
But can Juan do what he wants?
Of course not.
After greeting the players around him, he took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked fixedly ahead, and took a step.
Normally, such a formation will have a midfield maestro in the middle of the field, leading all the players in the backfield except the goalkeeper to rush forward, pulling out a blockade line, and also compressing the space on the opposite side.
His best team has been Fernando Redondo or Juan Belerón at home in the past, and of course, there is now an additional Rui Costa to replace Redondo.
And in the Portuguese national team, the one who is the initiation center, is him.
Juan took a deep breath.
He hadn't been so nervous in a long time.
It was a noisy stadium, but the sound seemed to fade away in his ears, and he could only hear his heart beating strongly, sending the blood that was entrapped in energy along the blood vessels to all parts of his body.
The people around him all showed a somewhat excited expression, looking at Juan without blinking.
There was some commotion among the fans in Portugal, and they clearly felt that something was not usual.
The Angolan fans were wide-eyed, not knowing what was going to be done on the other side, but there was some trepidation in their hearts, as if something was going to happen.
Only the Angolan players were unaware of what was happening, and that's probably what the authorities were talking about.
Seeing that the opposite side did not take the initiative to carry the ball through the half, Juan showed a bright smile and said softly: "Since you don't want to come over now...... Then you don't have to come over after that. ”
Seeing Juan slowly running forward, the players behind them lit up and moved with them.
"What are the Portuguese players going to do?" The on-site commentary sighed and was a little confused.
It's really a very confusing thing.
In fact, in general TV broadcasting, where the football is broadcast, the camera is broadcast everywhere, so Hu actually Juan in the backfield for a while has not been completely noticed by everyone - or rather, it should have been quiet at the beginning, but Angola in front of him has put on a strict defensive appearance, which is really boring.
If the scene is boring, the director will start looking for other interesting things.
For example, the reaction of the managers on both sides at this time?
Or a sensational figure?
Obviously, Juan is such a character, so when he hooked up with others, he was also photographed on TV, and many people were stunned and almost jumped: "What is Juan Díaz doing, is he talking to those friends in the backcourt?!" ”
"Portugal's front court is so good that you can be idle at the back?" For a moment, the eyes of many powerful people flashed, and at the same time they looked at a small red dot on the court that was obviously the leader.
The flaming red jersey, white numbers and letters seem to be clouds in the sky.
Number 23, Juan Díaz!
Of course, Juan didn't know that he had been noticed by the outside world at this time, and of course even if he knew, he wouldn't care, after all, he had long been used to being noticed, and he had long been used to ignoring all this.
At this moment, his heart was like water.
The Angolan players were a little surprised to see the men in the Portuguese half actually coming here.
God's situation?
What do they want to do?!
Don't they want their own backcourt?!
Ricardo, who was standing at the back, was obviously stunned, he stammered and looked at his empty restricted area, and he wanted to cry without tears.
"Anyway, it's better to leave someone down for a chat......" Ricardo's mutters were not reached in Juan's ear, and at this moment he was observing the situation in Angola, very cautiously.
These black players in Angola are all scared to death when they run, but fortunately they are not very good in possession or dribbling.
And it's still very breathless.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be full of hope because he was bullying himself with a large army and feeling that he had hope, Juan rushed up to intercept and grab the ball without saying a word.
Joke, he's a little devil, his master is the big devil of Argentina, ruining people's hopes or something, this is their obligation!
Seeing Juan rush straight up, the few players who had been at the level of him were a little stunned, but they soon accelerated so that they could keep up with Juan's footsteps - in fact, Juan had already predicted that they would be in such a situation.
Seeing that their backfield was suddenly ready to rush forward one by one, the Portuguese players were stunned for a moment, but soon, Juan's voice sounded in their ears.
"Attack forward!"
Well, since he's said so, what else?
Run.
Angola was bewildered by this turn of events.
They never thought Portugal would do such a move!! Isn't it said that it is a technical team and the offense is strong and the defense is weak, or is it that now the team is starting to break the jar and fall, and the offense is strong and the defense is weak, so they let themselves go and rush up directly with a wave of people?!
A glint flashed in Scolari's eyes, Ferguson in the stands nodded with relief, Guti was a little dazed, and could only pat the arms of the people around him: "Fair, what is Juan doing here?" ”
Redondo, who was once the core of this formation, was silent for a while and spoke, his voice full of nostalgia and laughter: "Regain its glory." ”
It is indeed a return to glory.
Juan rushed in with a group of people, and everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon the faces of the Angolan players changed dramatically.
"Pass the ball!!"
"Transfer the ball!"
"Don't let him get close!"
Many people had such thoughts in their hearts at the same time, but it was too late.
Portugal's number 23 swept over like a ghost, and the ball that had been controlled at Avaca's feet and ready to pass at any moment disappeared.
Avaka opened his mouth, but before he could be stunned, the crisis in Angola was coming!
Juan didn't even look up at the ball after holding the ball at his feet, and sent it straight to his right back.
Deco, who received the football, was stunned and showed a crying and laughing expression, but it seemed that he wanted to return the ball, and Juan waved his hand and pointed directly in other directions.
Deco glanced over and narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to know Juan's thoughts......
At this moment, the football forum has exploded, and the World Cup section is constantly being swiped.
"Juan's personal style!!"
"Yes, yes, did you see a pass from him, Deco and Figo? It's like waltzing in stride...... Looking at the appearance of both Juan and the Portuguese players at this time, it is clear that they have seized another opportunity, and Angola has lost the ball unjustly. ”
Or so we can say it now...... Angola lost the ball. ”
Almost the next second this sentence jumped out, a big comment swiped up.
“goooal!!!!”
Portugal's second goal went off the beaten track.
Their large army pressed on the border, and the pressure on all of them obviously gave Angola a certain shock, disrupting their rhythm and pace at the beginning, and in the same way, Juan did not go directly to kill for sightseeing.
He had to leave with something.
Juan couldn't help but smile as the ball shifted from Deco's feet to Figo's side.
Whether the Portuguese captain is "old and strong" or is too old to continue playing for the team depends on this wave.
And Figo lived up to expectations and gave everyone a big surprise.
It was only a matter of a blink of an eye that the football went from Juan to Deco's feet and then to Figo, and the last second it was still at the feet of the Angolan player, and that second it was already outside the opponent's small penalty area.
With so close to goal and no one to defend yet, Figo now has nothing to face but the goalkeeper.
In such a state, can't he shoot successfully?
Of course not!
“gooooal!!! Luis Figo! Our captain went to the next city to lay the foundation for the victory! The commentator was very excited, and he felt as if he was about to see a new record set at this World Cup.
It's only been so long, and Portugal have already scored two goals!
"Angola, it's a pity...... They did a great job. The commentary was very regretful, and his partner raised his eyebrows and was very unconvinced: "It's only been half an hour, and there are at least 60 minutes left in the game!" Who knows if Angola will be able to reverse ......"
"Reversal?" The narrator smiled, "If that's the case, should we make a bet?" ”
"Bet on what!" The partner agreed.
"Just bet...... Can Portugal play a very impressive scoreline? The narrator smiled.
"I can't." His partner glanced at him, then looked down, "Speaking of these Portuguese players, the game is a game, and the celebration is a little too long!" ”
"They're just excited." The commentator snorted and looked at the Portuguese players below and smiled.
His partner also smiled: "Why don't we discuss what the bet is?" ”
"No hurry, no hurry." The narrator smiled.
For the rest of the day, the commentator's partner couldn't laugh a little.
Portugal started their crazy goalscoring journey like a plug-in, and it wasn't until the half-time whistle that everyone stopped and looked up at the scoreboard in a dream.
Portugal 4:0 Angola.
1:26, Gomez.
24 minutes and 13 seconds, Figo.
35:06, Cristiano Ronaldo.
42 minutes 57 seconds, Juan Díaz.
Portugal have already scored four goals and it was only a first-half time that had passed.
At half-time, even the Portuguese players were a little amazed, and a pair of eyes kept looking at Juan's body.
Didn't he just come up with a bad idea, and then everyone helped to do it?
How do you do it and turn it into a goal?
And that way of playing is amazing!
- Valente and Figo, who were originally from the Deportivo team, didn't have any special performances, after all, this is something they have to practice every day, and if they can't have such a great ability, they will be blind.
At halftime, the commentator coughed lightly, and his partner was silent at this time: "Angola was beaten by Portugal...... I showed that I was able to pass half the game, and ah, I was put in...... Then I basically couldn't pass half the time, and I was into it again, and then I was basically too lazy to get out of the penalty area, and I was still in...... It can be said that the African dark horse was pressed to the ground by the southern European team for 45 minutes, and I wonder how they will perform in the second half? Let's wait and see! ”
…… We'll see what a ghost!
Many people scolded such a sentence in their hearts at this moment.
It's all going on to this point, is Angola Liverpool upper body or Deportivo possessed? It's good that they can score a game-saving goal! 166 Reading Network
