Chapter 113: Russo
"Well done! Agul! "That's right, that's it! Let these Boca people see how powerful we are! ”
Aguli's interlocking moves showed their power at the moment of contact between the two, and even though there had been obvious improvements in physique, it was still difficult for Santi to compete with Aguli, who was talented in this area, in an athletic state!
How could Santiago, who was so impatient, be willing to watch the ball at his feet being intercepted by his opponent? Seeing this, he desperately tried to hold Agulli back, but such eagerness became a source of excitement for the San Lorenzo fans, who witnessed the weakness of Boca Xiao under the impact of his own tigers.
At the moment when Santo Tiago was "knocked away", the entire candy box stadium fell silent in an instant, and countless Boca fans were dumbfounded and stunned at this moment, while the San Lorenzo people were struggling to wave the flag in their hands and roar with all their strength in Boca's proud home stadium.
"Poor Boca softass, get out of here! Aguli is not something you can mess with!!! ”
The invective on the sidelines was heard for a while, and although the candy box was still surrounded by tens of thousands of Boca fans at the moment, there were huge boos that could not hide it.
"Unbelievable! Santiago was cut off the ball! Such scenes seem to have hardly happened since he returned to Argentina!! This is a fatal blow to Boca Juniors, who have just improved slightly! What's more, in the face of tens of thousands of Boca fans, almost the mountains and rivers changed color, the referee signaled that the game continued, and Aguli did not foul!! “
"The offensive and defensive momentum is reversed in an instant! Before Santhiago could get back on his feet, Aguli swooped forward to dodge the Boca player's attempt to counter-attack and pass the ball out! The offensive and defensive momentum was reversed again in an instant! It was a breathtaking moment! Boca is in danger!! Will they be able to hold off this attack??? “
The ball was quickly transmitted to the feet of the San Lorenzo strikers amid the commentators' exclamations, and the rapid counter-attack almost made it difficult for Boca's forward defence to form an effective interception, and in such a desperate situation, the vice-captain of one of the three central defenders, Ibarra, rushed forward and put a tackle on the opponent with the ball, temporarily blocking the enemy's attack.
However, it is conceivable that this move caused a dissatisfaction from the whole San Lorenzo club, and coach Russo jumped up from his seat with a shot when he saw this, and roared and questioned the referee on duty on the field desperately, completely ignoring the repeated warnings of the fourth official next to him. At the same time, the San Lorenzo players on the field and the fans in the stands made huge waves because of this move.
Of course, Boca, who is sitting at home, will not have the slightest cowardice, not only the fans have regrouped in momentum, but even the players on the field are not left behind, and Riquelme took the lead in rushing up and pushed away San Lorenzo midfielder Ferreira, and roared with his nose against his nose: "What are you yelling at me!! Didn't you see that there Santiago hadn't stood up yet? Didn't you see another player who didn't get up!! You guys are naked fouls! There is no morality at all! “
Of course, even though the Boca players were furious at the opposition's reaction, this time the referee did not skimp on the cards in his pocket, he decisively showed a yellow card to the foul Ibarra, and awarded a very well-placed free-kick on the spot to barely suppress the anger of the San Lorenzo people.
"Damn! What a damn one! “
At this time, seeing the temporary alleviation of the threat, the vice-captain received a yellow card for this, and Santiago, who was still sitting in place and gasping for breath, was extremely guilty and self-blaming, looking at Aguli with his back to him, and there was a jealousy in his eyes. Shengti didn't expect this guy to be so old and spicy, not only making full use of his physical advantages, but also controlling the time of the steal just right.
Such an old spicy made Saintie unable to find a chance to fight back at all, and even pulled his knee joint with a tingling pain because he made dangerous moves in the state of losing the center of gravity of his body, and it was this pain that made Saintie, who had not relieved his breath, unable to devote himself to defense at all.
Hearing the constant boos and insults coming from the stands, Stanti was extremely uncomfortable.
He is a very proud person, and after returning to Ajia and quickly washing away the identity of a loser, although he has changed many bad habits, this pride that has always accompanied him has not faded at all, but has become more intense.
At this moment, he heard the screeching noise, and he tried to get up quickly but it was self-defeating, and he couldn't stand up in two attempts, which made Santi sweat profusely for a while.
I have made a big mistake because of my own failures, and I see that my teammates are lining up in the human wall but are unable to participate, what a torment this is!
"Santy! You okay? You okay! “
Just as Santiago was in trouble, Palacio suddenly walked up to him and stretched out his arm to Santiago.
"Uh, Rodrigo? Uh, of course! I'm fine, thank you! To be honest, Santiago didn't expect that Palacio would take the initiative to ask him about his injuries and pull himself up when Riquelme was busy directing the platoon wall, which made him feel a little moved from the bottom of his heart, but then his eyes burned after he got up again.
What are you sighing for? Isn't that exactly what Boca is? The tenacious Boca has always had an unyielding will, from carrying the first district after leaving River Plate, to now the face of the Continental League, Boca has never walked alone!
Santo Tiago, whose eyes were firm again, gave Palacio a very surprised feeling in an instant, but after a while, Palacio did not have time to look at Santo Tiago anymore, because soon San Lorenzo player Monsegues took a free kick, and this extremely tricky, high-quality free kick actually drilled through the gap in the human wall formed by Boca's generals and went straight to the goal.
Thankfully, the Boca goalkeeper reacted in time to save the free-kick and keep the goal safe.
After restarting the goal, Santiago, who felt pain in his leg, quickly regained his vitality in the game, and the Boca players gradually became accustomed to the small range of San Lorenzo players and high pressing, and the passing at their feet became more and more skillful. San Lorenzo coach Russo was very sorry to see this scene, seeing that there was not much time left in the first half, he could only paced helplessly, and finally stomped his foot hard, turned his head and walked into the visiting team's dressing room.
Originally, Russo's tactics were very arranged, and he once suppressed the strong Boca Green Chinese New Year's Eve in the famous Candy Box Stadium, but helplessly, it seems that the current Boca team has been favored by God, and the chances of the two teams that should have scored were saved by Boca. In this way, Boca, who had almost no achievements in the attack in the first half, was able to draw with San Lorenzo, which made Russo so depressed and almost vomited blood!
You must know that no matter which of these two scoring opportunities, as long as you successfully score a goal, then San Lorenzo can be said to be able to complete complete the complete suppression and firmly control the game in his own hands, so that the victory will enter the hands of Boca steadily.
It's unbelievable that Boca survived both times and went into halftime with a draw, and when they recovered, it was easy to imagine what kind of danger San Lorenzo would face in the second half!
Therefore, Russo, who expected this in advance, did not dare to make the slightest concession, and after returning to the locker room first, he arranged the tactics for the second half on the tactical board in full swing, and when the players arrived, he explained them one by one, not letting go of any details. In this regard, although the San Lorenzo players guessed that the tactics would change, they were still surprised when they returned to the locker room, because they did not expect that the head coach Russo would attack and defend, and he would defend with all his might!
However, Russo is very majestic in the San Lorenzo team, and although the players have quite disagreement with his requirements, they will not disobey in the slightest, and they all keep it in mind and carry it out one by one.
To have a unique coaching style in Argentine football, Russo is indeed very versatile. After the start of the second half, Boca really launched an all-out attack, after the first half of the decadence has gradually adapted to the San Lorenzo style of play, they completed the lineup change in the midfield, the yellow card of the vice-captain Ibarra was decisively replaced by coach Ischia, changed the three central defenders to four defenders, with Riquelme and San Tiago as the core to launch wave after wave of all-out attack.
It is worth at this time that the players of San Lorenzo suddenly woke up and looked at the black-faced coach Russo on the sidelines in surprise. It's a miraculous trick! It was precisely because of this sober arrangement and the strong teamwork ability of the San Lorenzo players throughout the second half that San Lorenzo survived the wave after wave of attacks in the candy box, and finally ended in a 0-0 draw.
After the game, the soaking San Lorenzo players did not dare to stay longer, and soon left quickly under the selective gaze of their own coach, they did not know why they held on to the draw in the second half, and why Mr. Russo was so dissatisfied, and could only leave as quickly as a child who made a mistake.
Of course, they didn't know why Russo was so upset, because in Russo's opinion, the match should not have ended in San Lorenzo's victory, and the draw was just a temporary plan of last resort!
