Chapter Eighty-Four: Confronting Peron
After establishing an early advantage, Boca Juniors' players did not take it lightly and continued to attack in an effort not to give their opponents any respite.
Everyone is an old rival, I don't know how many times I have played, of course, I know that the Estudiantes de La Plata team is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they can always stabilize the middle of the La Liga, which is a stable result that even Boca can't do, and if you want to do this, how can you do it without a few hands?
Sure enough, in Boca's opening onslaught, Estudiantes de La Plata conceded a goal, but the defence was still solid, and it did not show the defeat that Boca fans were expecting, and then they quickly stabilized their position and launched a counterattack under the organization of Veron. Compared with traditional South American players, Veron has a strong physique and strong running ability, and as a midfielder, he has a very good vision, and he is good at distributing the ball through long passes.
It was under his mobilization that the entire Estudiantes de La Plata team was very active in the counterattack, and did not rigidly pursue a routine, and the various counter-attacking methods made the Boca defense line full of dangers, and it was difficult to really eliminate the danger.
Seeing this, Saint-Tiago immediately rushed towards Veron, who he had met in Serie A, when Veron was on loan from Chelsea to Inter Milan and had long since lost his prestige. However, his super passing ability and shooting skills still left a very deep impression on Santtiago, and at the same time, the Serie A players' defense of Veron is also fresh in Santiago's memory.
It's very simple, it's a highly targeted rush, one can't do it, two people!
Veron's ability to get away from the ball at his feet is not top-notch, and he can easily be limited when it comes to pressing, so he often needs a player of similar ability to play alongside him, which is not possible with Estudiantes de La Plata. Therefore, Saint-Tiago, who is familiar with all this, will not care what kind of criticism he will attract from the media once he fails to rob, for him, a good opportunity to face Peron head-on is a good opportunity that cannot be missed! Playing against such a bigwig player of the same type is the best opportunity to improve yourself!
After approaching Peron, Santhiago did not rush to get off his feet, but kept observing Veron's demeanor and foot movements, trying to make judgments from these details.
But in the face of Veron's weightlifting, he was unable to defend most of the time, and only occasionally succeeded in breaking the ball, of course, even this made Veron himself frightened enough! It was in this situation that a few minutes later, the two faced each other again in the enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of fans, and the fans did not expect that Boca would be firmly controlled by Riquelme in this game, and Santhiago stepped forward to fight with Veron, but such a fight was enough to make people addicted.
After the first few encounters, Saint-Tiago also has a new understanding of today's Veron, barely passing the speed like himself, and dribbling is to throw out a lot of his predecessors. After all, he is also a figure who has become famous in the league, glorified in Serie A, and worked hard in the Premier League.
Santhiago could only entangle with Veron while moving with Veron, trying to make it impossible for Veron to get rid of himself and break through easily.
The kraft-like defense was uncomfortable for Veron, but he responded to the situation for a long time, using a rush and stop to unravel the physical contact between the two and use small movements and pulls in a small area to give himself enough space to deal with the Santhiago defense.
"Huh? Veron faced Saint-Tiago again, and he still didn't choose to share the ball with his teammates at the first time, what kind of considerations did he have? This is not his usual style! ”
Unlike the eyes of the fans in the stands, many commentators who know the technical characteristics of Veron are very puzzled at the moment, Veron and San Tiago are undoubtedly roughly the same type of players, they are different from Riquelme, they do not eat the ball, they both pursue the fastest offensive and defensive transitions, improve the team's speed. So it's very rare to see it on the field right now!
Saint-Tiago also felt about this, but at the moment he didn't have time to care about so much, he was already sweating like rain, even if he did his best every time he faced Veron, but Veron was still able to throw himself away with his unpredictable foot movements and skills.
The most unfortunate thing about Santo Tiago is that Veron's action is actually very simple from the perspective of the onlooker, which also makes the visiting fans booing at Santiago, but only Santiago himself knows how unbelievable Veron's actions are! He firmly believes that the two of them can change places, and under the same conditions and the same body movements, he can't do it at all! Santi also thought that no one would be able to do it!
At this moment, after pulling out enough distance, Peron immediately made a series of bicycle movements, for this action Santiago is naturally very familiar, at the moment he stared at Veron's right foot, he is familiar with this action, he knows that the breakthrough of cycling is the key to the sudden change of rhythm, he is confident that if Veron just wants to pass himself so easily, it is impossible.
How could it be so simple for Peron to think? As an Apennines with a masterful footwork, Veron certainly does not lack imagination.
Indeed, as Saint-Tiago judged, Peron changed his rhythm in an instant and was ready to break through, only to see that Veron's right foot moved to the inside of the ball when it fell, and this action was immediately captured by the waiting Saintie, who immediately stretched out his left foot and moved in the direction of the next moment Veron's ball to seal the rolling route of the ball, and he thought he had sensed Veron's thoughts at this time!
But what he didn't expect was that Veron actually used the outside of his right foot to rub the ball with the outside of his right foot at the moment of change, instead of using the outside of his instep to arc to push the ball as he thought! This kind of ball is very strict in the control of the power of the feet and the control of details, the slightest carelessness will make the ball bounce away, and the sudden change has a great impact on the knee joint, he did not expect Veron to use this trick.
Are you watching a personal video reel?
No, I'm the backdrop!!
When Saintie came back from the shock, the ball that Peron had already picked up flew past his shoulder, and at the same time Veron had already rushed out from his other side!
"A wonderful ball split! He always brings us such a dazzling visual impact and enjoyment! This is Beron! South American Footballer of the Year, Juan Sebastián Verón! Seeing Peron's breakthrough, the commentators in the commentary seat did not hesitate to praise their words at all, and praised Veron's running figure endlessly.
And at this moment, Veron quickly distributed the ball to his teammates who were advancing with him immediately after passing San Tiago, and the panic attack was terrifying!
If you ask the South American team Estudiantes what they do best, they will say that they are attacking around Veron, and when you ask Estudiantes de La Plata what they are best at attacking, they will definitely sigh and say in a depressed tone: "Long pass and hang!" ”
