Chapter 112: Fierce Battle of San Lorenzo
That's right, there's definitely something to follow!
Which of the tactics of a high-level coach like Russo is not interlocking? How could it be possible to give Boca the crowd time to breathe! Knowing this, Santi kept his eyes on the players of San Lorenzo, trying to find clues in their actions so that he could make his own judgment.
Riquelme passed the ball back to Patagoria behind him, but the San Lorenzo players seemed to be on their way, and Batagoria couldn't get their hands on it!! It was an incredible scene! In previous tournaments, Boca Juniors have faced many teams that have used high pressing as a tactic, but none of these teams have ever put Boca under such pressure as San Lorenzo! ”
"The teamwork of the San Lorenzo players was almost perfect! Sure enough, Patagoria conceded the goal! This is an opportunity for San Lorenzo!! ”
The tenacity of the fighting spirit and the ferocious scramble, coupled with the right small area and quick encirclement, allowed the San Lorenzo players to gradually gain the upper hand on the field, while the Boca players were more and more passive.
Coach Ischea on the sidelines also never expected that his painstaking arrangement would be cracked so easily, and the opponent seized the opportunity to use it as an empty crotch to carry out an oppressive attack.
"Was it Russo's order?"
When a trace of such a thought broke through the ground, it spread like a tide to every corner of Ischea's heart, and he couldn't help but feel some panic, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that all his arrangements are expected by Russo? At this time, San Lorenzo's quick attack after the steal also caused Boca's defense to fall into chaos for a while.
"Fast horse winger Ace Wei received a cross after a teammate stealed, and he managed to get the ball in Boca's midfield, which is an extremely dangerous position! Facing Dias's defense, he made a quick stop in the fast march and made a feint, and Dias, who was unaware for a while, thought that Ace Dimension wanted to share the ball, so he immediately made a defensive move, but what he didn't expect was that Ace Dimension passed him with a light buckle of the ball! ”
"Then Ace Wei quickly dribbled diagonally towards the Boca penalty area, Boca without a fullback could not block him at all, and had no choice but to be defended by Paletta, who was the central defender!"
Although Paletta at this time knew that once he attacked, it would mean that a huge empty crotch would be exposed behind him, but the realization was like this, if he didn't step forward to defend, then it would be tantamount to sitting still, so that Ace Dimension could easily make adjustments and shoot, for the strength of this Ace Dimension, Paletta was very clear, he had to put his hands behind his back to avoid handball, and then firmly stuck Ace Dimension to continue to move forward.
Sure enough, as he thought, Ace Wei did not make an attempt to continue to break through after seeing Paletta's reaction, but distributed the ball to Begesio, the main striker Gonzalo, who had been waiting for a long time. Behesio!
The striker, who is eyed by the Red Wolves, has all the qualities of a delightful killer, he is quick, he has the ability to take chances, and he is a consistent, prolific goalscorer.
Begasio took a step forward after winning the ball, and it was this step that allowed him to shoot just beyond Morel's defence. Compared to other Argentinians, Behesio is a scorer who is known for his marksmanship, which does not fit the aesthetics of tango football, so this makes him not loved by the media and fans in Argentina.
But that doesn't mean he's not strong!
Although he had only seen him on TV before, it was only now that Santhiago understood why it was often said that Begasio was an Argentine who could only shoot, and this moment seemed to him not to be a mockery but a sigh. I saw the ball draw a strange arc in the air and fly towards the Boca goal, although the last shot ended in hitting the post, but it still made the coach Ischea and the players on the field shocked into a cold sweat, this sudden dismount undoubtedly told the Boca players that although it is a candy box, their opponent has enough strength and determination to overturn them!
Seeing that the danger was turned into a disaster, Ischea, who breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses and scolded his disciples fiercely, and roared angrily on the sidelines.
Indeed, in this battle of Tianwang Mountain, Boca has the power of the home field, and there is also the unanimous optimism of public opinion, but it is undoubtedly substandard to play like this in the opening 20 minutes! Ischea can understand that the players are nervous, excited, and not in a state, but understanding does not mean that it is allowed! There's no such thing as a one-over professional game, they have to take responsibility for themselves!
In the A-League, where there are only 19 league games per season, there is no chance of making mistakes!
Boca's players counter-attacked amid the roar of Ischea, goalkeeper Garcia drove the ball out, Riquelme calmly took the ball and pushed forward without Bayern players pressing around, and then his previous Santhiago and others also pressed towards the opposition half.
"Riquelme has the ball, it's Boca's chance! Just now, the San Lorenzo people taught the proud home team a good lesson away from home, and this time the feng shui took turns to face Boca's attack, how would the San Lorenzo players react? Will the people of Boca be able to keep their colors alive in the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis?
D'Alessandro wants to step up and steal, oh! Just a little bit! Riquelme narrowly passed the ball out, and the two made some small movements in their hands as they scrambled, but this did not affect the continuation of the game. It can be seen that Riquelme's offensive mood is extremely resolute! He didn't choose to return or dribble! The ball is at the feet of Santiago! ”
"As the heart of Boca Juniors' midfield, a one-kick pass is definitely an extremely smart move and it's clear that Riquelme knows it's not a good idea to stick to the ball at this time! Oh! What a big boo! I was almost overwhelmed in the commentary seat! The fans of the candy box were very unhappy with the small actions of the San Lorenzo players! ”
"Santhiago got the ball and he had to get away with Jonathan who was close to him! Otherwise, the rest of the San Lorenzo players will complete the closing in an extreme amount of time! Let's wait and see how Santhiago performs! ”
The TV commentators were also excited at the moment when Santi got the ball, and now Santi is already a weightlifting player in the La Liga, and his performance can often determine the trend of a game. The commentators understood this, and so did the San Lorenzo fans who were visiting the candy box, and they didn't want their beloved team to be the backdrop for Santiago's excellent performance, so they booed to overwhelm Santigo.
But how could Stanti, who has already been tempered by the home of Europe's major hells, be moved? In such an almost suffocating atmosphere, he can still show the level of dominating the game, not to mention now, there are still tens of thousands of Boca fans who support him!
Facing Jonathan, Santi flicked the ball with the instep of his right foot, and the whole person moved.
Jonathan, who officially joined the San Lorenzo football academy at the age of 14, has just been promoted to the first team of San Lorenzo this season with his excellent performance, as a tough defensive midfielder, he is a versatile player in Mexico, and this is precisely the reason why San Lorenzo coach Mikel Russo promoted him to the first team, originally as a young player he did not have the qualifications and strength to start in this game, but the injury of the main midfielder gave him the opportunity to start.
Faced with his peers, Saint-Tiago, who far surpassed his peers in strength and fame, he was determined to put on a good show. However, although the dream of becoming famous is extremely desirable, not everyone can achieve it. The reality is often cruel, although the two are the same age compared to Stanti, Jonathan is not only a little immature, he is much worse.
The so-called four secrets of a defensive player: take a deep breath, lower your weight, spread your legs, and pull in. The first three Jonathan did a remarkable job, but he couldn't do it at the last point, because Santiago rushed over with a simple ball in the face of his defense, and even Jonathan didn't have time to react! This frustrated all his ideas.
At this time, Saint-Tiago quickly accelerated after passing Jonathan, he knew that he was able to break through Jonathan so easily more because the two met for the first time and Jonathan was eager to make results. But if you underestimate the San Lorenzo team because of this, it will undoubtedly be the rhythm of death.
Winning the ball from his own half, he burst into the San Lorenzo half with his own rare high speed, except for Jonathan, who had already passed, and there were Aguli and Ferreira in an area in front of him, and he watched the movements of the two while silently guarding against the defenders who could appear behind him at any time. Strictly speaking, this is not a fast attack, and the two San Lorenzo players in front of them are not ordinary people, and it will take a lot of trouble to break through, but now Boca's weakness is that he does not have the opportunity to enter the positional battle! So Santhiago is not ready to stop, but is ready to threaten with all his might.
Seeing that his physical strength was exhausted, Saint-Tiago, who had made up his mind, simply gradually reduced his speed, but his center of gravity did not let go, on the contrary, his toes rose slightly and rushed towards Aguli.
And the experienced Aguli saw Santiago's intentions at a glance, and he didn't have any fluctuations in his heart at this time, because he knew that no one could get past him, and even if there were, that person would have to take a bite of dirt!!
Aguli, who only returned home two seasons ago, has enough confidence to say this, he has long served for CSKA Moscow, but he is a figure who surprised the Russians at the beginning, and the powerful physical confrontation ability hidden under the Argentine's face is his most feared weapon, and Santhiago does not know this at this time!
However, in the face of such a defender, even if Saint-Tiago did not know the details, he naturally would not be stupid to rush up and wait for the tackle, he was about to get closer, he suddenly changed direction, pulled the ball to the left, and then slammed the ball out, trying to rely on the sudden acceleration to pass Aguli.
"San Thiago easily passed San Lorenzo teenager Jonathan! It's really smooth! I have to say that although the status of the two in their respective teams at this time is very different, and their reputations in South American football are also very different, the two are indeed real peers!!
What choice will Santhiago make next? You know, it's Tiger Agul! No one dared to provoke him on the pitch, no one! Even if it's a candy box! In the frenzied voice of the commentator, everyone could hear his superstition about Agully, and the San Lorenzo fans who were present also shouted wildly when they saw this scene, "Knock him over!" him! Agul, him! "Agul, don't let him pass!!"
At this time, Aguli also showed a cruel smile, he was not surprised to see Saint-Tiago's actions, this player who is known for breaking through is a conspiracy if he does not break through! And at the moment when Saintie changed direction, he also moved, but unlike the previous teenager Jonathan, Aguli's physical fitness and reaction are at the top level of the current Saintie, he directly and strongly resisted and then pushed Saintie to the side, and at the same time made a steal with his feet.
Despite all the preparation and physical adjustment, Saint-Tiago was almost knocked out under this shock, but fortunately he stabilized his body in time to avoid embarrassment. However, at this time, Agully's pressing also arrived, and this timing was just right, just when Sainti had just stabilized his body and had no time to control the ball at his feet!
For San Tiago, Aguli is very clear, although he is proud but does not mean that he is arrogant, as a player who has worked hard in Russian football for many years, Aguli has studied this current extremely popular king of the Aglia League for a long time after his return.
Boca's only eye-catching "signing" this season is also one of the key players in this strong conversation, Santilago has gorgeous foot skills and feints, and he is good at eating defenders, but his disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the thin body gives him a soft confrontation ability. Faced with such a situation, Aguli certainly will not let go, he defended specifically for these two points in the scramble at this time, while squeezing Santhiago with his body, so that he lost the initiative to break through while the center of gravity is unstable, and then took advantage of Santi's unstable foothold to make a sudden tackle.
Aguli is confident that as long as he doesn't give Santhiago a chance to make a foot move, he is more than capable of stopping him without fouling!!!
