At the referee's whistle, the Portuguese Super Cup officially began, and after kickoff, the players on both sides began to run, just like the soldiers in the ancient war were carrying out the orders of the marshal, putting on a variety of strange formations to make tactical arrangements.

In this game, Fernando still used the 4-3-3 formation he is most familiar with, Contic served as the team's single striker, and Sarabio was the same as Ke Yan, sitting on the bench and waiting for his chance to play, Fernando did not want Sarabio to play, and the reason was different from Ke Yan's, the reason why Sarabio sat on the bench was because if the game was brought into extra time, Fernando would definitely let Ke Yan play, If Sarabio had already played ninety minutes on the pitch by then, then by the time Ke Yan came on the court, Sarabio's physical strength would probably not be able to support him and Ke Yan to cooperate.

The ball belonged to Sporting Lisbon from the beginning, and from the opening minutes, Sporting Lisbon's tactical arrangement was no different from last season's Portuguese Cup final.

However, Fernando did not play all the cards in his hand, with Coyan and Sarabio being two excellent cards, and a younger, more impactful left winger sitting on the bench and not playing.

The young left winger, who is not known to him, is a new signing brought in by Porto this season, his name is Marco, he looks tall and physical, and surprisingly, he is not slow.

The new signing doesn't know where Fernando got it, but Fernando's intention is obvious, which is to make up for the shortcomings of Ke Yan, a center forward, who may appear on the field at any time.

As a winger, Marco's figure looks more like a high school striker, and although Ke Yan is a center forward, he looks like a technical playmaker or winger, Ke Yan can play a miraculous role on the field, but in some cases, the gap left in the penalty area after Ke Yan retreats must be filled, or the height that Ke Yan does not have, and some people need to fill it, although these Sarabio can also do it, but in the end, Sarabio's height is still not tall enough, The overall level of headers in Porto's attacking line was very low.

And Marco can solve this problem, although this problem will not be able to get the result until Marco actually plays, but Fernando's assumption is undoubtedly very correct.

After a holiday break, the whole Porto team looks very high, but in the end, there is still no way to compare with the competitive state of Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon has finally recovered the strength of the giants after several seasons of decline, and now Sporting Lisbon is a very competitive team in the whole of Portugal.

But Fernando doesn't believe in this evil, no team will be so strong that they don't lose a game, now they just need to do a good job of defense first, the team's current offensive combination has lost its previous power, this is something that Fernando has long been aware of, Lucas's state is up and down, the three players in the front line can't be perfect when implementing Fernando's tactics, maybe when Fernando first came, such a forward combination can play a super level, but now the honeymoon period has passed, The three of them clearly did not meet Fernando's requirements for an attack.

It is already inevitable that the forward combination will change dynasties, it is only a matter of time.

At the end of the first half, both sides were still unproductive, and Sporting Lisbon had a couple of good attacking opportunities, but they faced Casillas, who was in the second spring of his career, and with his near-peak form, Casillas helped the team to defuse the danger in front of goal on many occasions.

"It was so uncomfortable in the first half, I couldn't organise a fluid attack, and I really didn't know what to do on the pitch." As soon as he arrived in the locker room, Contic complained to Ke Yan that he was the starting striker, the team's only offensive organizer, and he was a technical striker, he rarely ran a wide range on the field, so his physical strength is not too much to worry about, but even if he doesn't need to run much, every pass on the pitch today can't be passed in place, you can't say whether Contic is not in good shape today or the three players in the front line are not in good shape, but on the field, it looks like he is simply kicking on the field.

Fernando didn't say much, just warned the attacking players in the front court to use their eyes to observe the movements of their teammates and try to make every pass is enough, in fact, Fernando is not surprised that the game has been played to such an extent, and even he has planned to let the game go in this direction from the beginning.

Ke Yan didn't know what to say about Contic's complaints, he didn't know what Fernando was thinking, and he was also very chilled when the game was played like this, because the team looked like it could be scored at any time, Ke Yan sat on the bench and watched the team's attack become like this, and he also wanted to play, but he had no place to play with no enthusiasm.

Back on the pitch in the second half, Ke Yan still walked directly to the bench, Fernando did not let him warm up at halftime, so he understood that Fernando did not plan to let himself play for a while, he sat on the bench, ready to receive Fernando's instructions to play.

But now it's really difficult, Ke Yan doesn't even want to sit on the bench to watch the game, he wants to wait until he should be on the bench to get out of the locker room, and go straight to the game, nothing else, but this is not allowed, even if he suffers again, he has to sit on the bench until the moment he plays.

However, the real hard time came, in the 57th minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon scored a goal, this goal, undoubtedly a real bad news, there are more than 30 minutes left in the game, they have to fight for the rest of the time.

Fernando squinted at Ke Yan, thought about it carefully, shook his head, turned to Sarabio, and said to him: "Warm up, get ready to play." ”

In desperation, Fernando can only make a substitution adjustment first, Ke Yan is still not stable on the field now, and he must wait a little longer to let Ke Yan play! (To be continued.) )
