One hundred and eighty-six & one hundred eighty-seven
Back on the pitch in the second half, neither side made personnel changes, after all, it was just a Champions League group stage, so there was no need to be too nervous, even if it was a draw, you could still get a point.
But when they came up, the Porto players found it very uncomfortable because they had a little too much on the ball.
Why?
Fernando's tactics are defensive counterattacks, counterattacking in the case of good defense, and being able to get a point is not bad news for the team, and even if you can score, the initiative to qualify for the group stage is greater, so directly sacrificing possession and letting the opponent attack is the most comfortable state in this game.
But now Juventus, who let go of possession and put the ball at the feet of the Porto players, let them start attacking, Fernando's tactical arrangement was completely disrupted, and even the formation could not be maintained as well as in the first half.
This is the adjustment made by Juventus in the midfield, the opponent's new coach asked the players to take the initiative to give up possession, so that Porto's formation attacked, Juventus attack is strong, but there is nothing to do in the case of the opponent's stubborn defense, the same, Juventus is not without a strong player in defensive counterattacks, and he is not afraid to play defensive counterattacks.
This tactic is the experience that the manager of Juventus learned from the Champions League elimination of Barcelona and Bayern last season by Atletico Madrid, and even from the Champions League final last season, Barcelona and Bayern were not without advantages in the Champions League knockout round last season, and even said that it was a comprehensive advantage in terms of data, but it was still eliminated by Atletico Madrid, although there were some unforeseen referee errors in it, but the most fundamental problem was that the game entered the rhythm that Atletico Madrid is most familiar with.
Crazy ball control and pressure on the offense, is able to achieve good results on the field, but Atletico Madrid likes this, their defensive counterattack is very strong, and even in the face of Haoqiang, defensive counterattack is Atletico's tactic, comprehensive pressure will make Atletico Madrid very smooth to get the opportunity to counterattack, relying on such tactics, it can allow Atletico Madrid to get a lot of opportunities in the two-legged game.
And why did Real Madrid win the Champions League final? It's not because of Real Madrid's good luck, nor because Real Madrid's strength is stronger, the most critical factor is that Zidane knows very well that Atletico Madrid's best thing is to defend and counterattack, after the team got a one-goal lead, Real Madrid began to shrink the formation, put on a defensive posture, and let Atletico Madrid take the initiative, and this is the offensive way that Atletico Madrid is not good at, so in the second half of the first half, Atletico Madrid played very uncomfortable.
And now Juventus is using this way to put pressure on Porto, transferring most of the possession to Porto's hands, allowing Porto to take the initiative, resulting in the current situation that although they are superior to Porto, they are actually very passive.
It's been a long time since I've played a positional battle, and against such a formidable opponent, Porto's positional battle really doesn't have the upper hand, and the most important link in the team's midfield, Antonio Contic, looks very restrained in the positional battle.
Contici is not fighting alone on the pitch now, there is a partner standing next to him, in this case, Contic's range of activity is obviously going to be compressed, and after Contic's range of activity is compressed, there is no way to control the rhythm of the whole field in the positional battle, and can only cover his own range of activities, which makes Contici have no way to play at all.
Fernando is very nervous, Juventus's tactics he has seen, but he doesn't know how he should adjust now, the only way to strengthen the level of positional warfare is to replace a midfielder, and then replace an attacker, but the replacement of a back will make the overall defensive level decrease, and if you replace a defender, there will be a lot of people in the penalty area when defending, and the players are likely to misalign with each other, forming a overlapping defensive area, and making the defensive area on the other side empty, which is a dilemma.
As for Juventus, their counter-attack has gradually started, and immediately after the break, they used their players' rich game experience and very strong individual ability to make rapid advances, and soon Porto's back line was broken through and went straight into a very difficult situation.
Vidal scored to give Juventus a 1-0 lead, and Porto suffered the bad news in this game when they were in a passive position across the board.
Juventus simply continued to defend and counterattack, and had no desire to take the initiative to attack, wanting to drag the rhythm of this game until the end of the game.
Fernando gritted his teeth and began to make substitutions, which were replaced by Contic's partner central midfielder, and replaced by the team's new striker who was promoted from the second team, and the more impactful one was Lallani, who was just 17 years old.
Anyway, it has fallen into this passive situation, and the score has fallen behind, it is better to take the initiative to attack, forcibly convert this passivity into the active, put out an attacking formation, and play an attack with Juventus, although it is a bit of a broken jar, but this is already the last resort of the team.
Although Contic's partner is more impactful, his game experience is still lacking, so he needs to share more of the pressure of organizing the attack in the midfield, using his best style of play, the team returned to the 4-3-3 formation, and Sarabio and Contic also stood on the pitch and put on an offensive posture.
Ke Yan sighed, since the team is going to attack, then simply be vigorous and don't stop until the last minute.
Giorgio Chiellini has struggled with injuries at centre-back, and although he has been in good form, he feels he can get past him defensively as long as he has an injury.
It's just that the opponent's head coach is not a vegetarian, seeing that Porto made substitution adjustments, he also directly let Chiellini and Bonucci switch positions, and Bonucci will make the final entanglement against Ke Yan, Bonucci was one of the top central defenders last season, and now Ke Yan has nothing to do in the face of the world's top defenders even if he is strong.
Ke Yan licked his lips, the coaches on both sides are simply fighting on the court, obviously the other party, the head coach he doesn't know yet, is a chess master, after all, it seems that he has a lot of coaching experience, and it seems that he has won a lot of championships, and Fernando is very inexperienced, no matter what tactical adjustments Fernando makes, the opponent's head coach can find a way to crack it in the first time.
In this game, there is really no hope of taking the initiative to continue.
2:0, the final result of the second half, the opponent's counter-defensive counterattack tactics were very successful, on the one hand, it suppressed Porto's tactics, and at the same time tested the current team's counterattack ability, so that the opponent's head coach can have more hole cards in the games later in the season.
After Porto's substitutions, Ke Yan and Contic were undoubtedly the brightest performers on the pitch, but their performances did not match the rhythm of the game, and after working the pitch for so long, it didn't work at all, and the game was still lost.
However, Ke Yan's several breakthroughs really made Juventus fans break out in a cold sweat, and Contic's midfield control was also discovered.
The first game of the Champions League group stage has ended, and now the first game of the Champions League for Porto has ended in defeat.
The players thought they had enough quality to go further, but when they really stood on the European stage, they realized how deep they were wading into the troubled waters, even if they were able to dominate most of their opponents at home, but at the end of the day, they were still too young.
"Ah, it's hard for me to go home, I can't win, it's just too difficult for this game." The man before Porto who was yelling to welcome everyone to Turin complained on the plane, and his teammates laughed as he looked at him with a boyish face.
Everyone didn't expect to win at Juventus Stadium beforehand, so even if they lost this game, they didn't take much of a hit, and the atmosphere in the team was relatively relaxed.
Ke Yan looked at Contic and smiled helplessly, this game is not good for the overall strength of the team, Contic's personal ability is still okay, if there is no Contic in the midfield in this game, I am afraid that more goals will be conceded.
However, for Ke Yan, when he came to the European arena, he could learn too much, Ke Yan, who used to think that his retreat position could have a good effect, now he doesn't think so, in front of the overall better team, no matter how much he retreats his position, he can't help the team a little, sometimes, teamwork is much better than individual ability.
For Fernando, the team needs to adjust too much, and the team that has finally stabilized has become a little restless again because of the defeat of two strong teams in a row, and even the overall tactics that they have to determine need to be adjusted again, and the overall strength of the team is basically not a strong team.
The team's youngster Lallani, although very impactful, is not enough for Fernando to admit that he can play a role on the pitch, and in this regard, Lallani is not the best choice for Contic's partner in the team, and Fernando needs to continue to look for a good midfield attacker in the player market.
"Alas, I lost." When he got home, Ke Yan said embarrassedly to Joseph that Joseph's work was a bit busy, and he watched most of Ke Yan's games through live broadcasts.
"I know if you lose, you won't lose, and it feels like you can't beat Juventus anyway." Joseph said very calmly, "There are still many games ahead, just do your best." ”
"By the way, you said that Donald had something to do with me, what is the matter?" Ke Yan asked, "I didn't go to the game this time. ”
"I've given you a whole operations team." "He got some high-level university graduates in Porto and set you up an operations team, and he said that there are some things that he can't do all by himself, after all, he's still in Madrid, and he can't come here all the time." ”
"What do I want this for?" Ke Yan was a little puzzled, "I'm also playing football here." ”
"You don't understand that, do you?" Ke Yan shook his head, "You are also a somewhat famous player now, there are at least some of your fans in the world, your news must be known to them as soon as possible, let the fans in the world know, and some things cannot be discussed by him alone, and more importantly, if you have any bad news, your operation team must deal with it." ”
"I don't understand these things, but if he thinks it's necessary, let him do it, after all, he seems to have a lot of players on Madrid." Ke Yan scratched his head.
"Well, that's right, he just told me that when you're back, he'll take you to the studio to meet your operations team, he's still there, but he'll have to go back to Madrid in a short time." Joseph said to Ke Yan.
"Studio?" Ke Yan was a little puzzled.
"Yes, he recruited several people, and he couldn't give them any name, so he set up a studio, let them get a formal job title for the time being, and also rented a few offices in an office building for them to work." Joseph explained, "Of course, none of this is with your money, it's with his money. ”
"His money? Shouldn't I be asked to pay for this kind of thing? After all, it's my own operations team," Ke Yan asked.
Joseph smiled, "Are you stupid?" Didn't he earn his money from you? Do you know how much money you have right now? ”
"I don't know." Ke Yan shook his head, he now plays football training every day, and he really doesn't have much impression of his income or something, Joseph is very clear about this kind of thing, because Ke Yan's bank card here is bound to his mobile phone number at that time, if there is any running water, then Joseph will be reminded as soon as possible.
"You have signed a sponsorship now, plus your salary, your bonuses, you can earn more than half a million euros a year, you know?" Joseph said.
"I went to more than 500,000 euros, isn't that more than 5 million yuan? I'm so rich now? Ke Yan was a little surprised, his income had become so much unconsciously?
"It's all that you've worked the pitch for, but it's not a lot of money for a professional player, and it's another way of saying that you're not very well-known right now, and you have to keep working hard, you know?" Joseph patted Zhou Zimu's head and said to him.
"Of course, I don't have any worries anyway, and all the energy of my body can only be put on football." Ke Yan laughed. (To be continued.) )
