Chapter 265: Take the defensive
"I mean, what would you think if this game ended with a scoreline like this? Will you be satisfied? ”
Philippe Govia asked in a different way, and this time, Little Pan understood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Considering it's an away game and the opponents are stronger than us, we have some initiative, but in the end, it's very difficult to beat them. And, even if it ends in a draw, it's more advantageous for us, so of course I'm okay with this result. ”
Xiao Pan thought about it for a while and finally came to such a conclusion.
"So, do you think, Georges Jesús will accept it?"
Govia asked again, his face smiling slightly.
Well, it's really hard to say, it mainly depends on what Georges Jesús' bottom line for this game is. However, I think Georges Jesús should also be able to see that this game is difficult to play and that it will not necessarily be a good choice to fight hard. So, I guess if it ends with this scoreline, he'll be satisfied. ”
Xiao Pan thought about it again and replied.
"That's right, that's what I thought. After half the game, Georges Jesús must also realize that this game is not easy to play, if it goes against us, it may not be able to get any benefits, it is better to accept such a score and get a draw, which is reasonable. So, I conclude that in the second half, Benfica, will inevitably go on the defensive. ”
Govia made his point of view, and if Giorgio Jesus, who was laying out the main points of the second half for the Benfica players at this time, knew about it, he would have been very emotional - how could his own thoughts be guessed so accurately? Could it be that he is really just a little fox, and the other party is a real old fox?
"What?"
When Benfica's players heard their coach ask them to focus on defense in the second half, they were very surprised, such tactics are obviously different from before, from attacking to defending, and the changes are too great?
The most depressed of this is Aimar, who originally wanted to show his strength in the second half and continue to fight with Chen Jianhao, even if he used luck to create opportunities, he was willing.
But this arrangement of Giorgio Jesus has basically made him lose the opportunity, because at that time, Benfica will focus on the scramble in the midfield, it is difficult to do anything in the attack, and he still has a lot of defensive tasks, want to attack? It's too hard.
However, he did not object, because no one could shake what George Jesus said, so he could only accept it helplessly.
On the other hand, in the Boavista dressing room, Govia did not tell his players that Benfica would most likely be in the defensive position in the second half, and he wanted to hone his players through this sudden change to see how they responded.
The break passed quickly, and when the Boavista players stood on the pitch again and restarted the game, they realized that Benfica had changed.
Seeing that Benfica basically gave up attacking, the burden of Boavista's defense suddenly became a lot lighter, but before they were happy, they found that although the defense was comfortable, the offense was not strong, and Benfica's defense was also very powerful, and Boavista couldn't beat it no matter how he played.
Chen Jianhao is also not good, from the beginning of the second half, he was entangled by Aimar and Luizao, and it was difficult to get the ball. And Benfica's defensive position, he is not good at shooting power, passing one, there is a second, a third, always endless, and the shot lacks enough space and opportunities.
Although Chen Jianhao still tried to shoot twice in the second half, the former hit the crossbar due to the distance, and the latter failed to find the goal due to the dense defenders who hit Almeida's leg and bounced off the bottom line.
Chen Jianhao couldn't score, Boavista's others, of course, couldn't do it, and Benfica didn't attack properly, so the score of 2:2 between the two sides continued until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and it didn't change.
In this way, the two sides played to a draw, and with the results that each was satisfactory, they finished the game. Then in a penalty shoot-out after extra-time, Boavista lost 3-4 to end this year's League Cup campaign. Thankfully, they didn't take the Carabao Cup as seriously as they did in the Portuguese Cup, so the defeat didn't give them much of a psychological downturn.
"Looking forward to the next encounter with you."
"Me too, I hope you won't be eliminated so soon."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Chen Jianhao and Aimar exchanged jerseys and waved goodbye. Theoretically, the two still have a chance to meet this season, but will there be that time?
Benfica and Boavista played out a 2-2 draw, while in the other match played at the same time, Porto and Portugal, who were in third or fourth place, played 1-1, with the former also winning on penalties.
The away draw against Benfica, from a normal point of view, should be a more happy result for Boavista, after all, the opponent's strength is much higher than his own, and it is still a game on other people's turf, and a draw is already a very good result, at least in the eyes of outsiders. However, even so, the Boavista players were very unhappy with the result and a little sullen, because this match ended their winning streak and had to start all over again if they wanted to set a better record.
"Cut, what is the defending champion of the Portuguese Super League? What supergiants? What about the strong team, but the result is not to get a draw on their home turf? If they really fight us, the final result will not necessarily be like this According to me, if that is the case, they will definitely lose in the end, and our winning streak will continue, the more I think about it, the more angry I become. ”
On the way back from the away game, the reluctant Edinho da Silva muttered and complained that Benfica's approach in the second half made him look down on him, thinking that if the opponent did not do so, the final winner would definitely be Boavista, and their record would not be suspended.
"Alright, Edinho, don't complain, how many times has this been? Do you want to use this way to pass the monotony of the journey for us? I think, you'd rather see a picture of the third version of the girl than listen to your nagging? ”
Chen Jianhao stopped Edinho da Silva's words in time, otherwise this guy may have to talk for a long time, always listening to a guy whispering in your ear, anyone will be annoyed.
For Edinho da Silva, in Boavista's team, in addition to Philippe Govia, that is, Chen Jianhao can manage him the most. Although Edinio da Silva is many years older than Chen Jianhao, the relationship between the two is like Chen Jianhao is the eldest brother, and Edinho da Silva is the younger brother.
"Oh."
And this time, after Chen Jianhao opened his mouth to stop Edinho da Silva, Edinho da Silva also obediently shut up and stopped talking, but looked at Chen Jianhao with the same kind of resentful eyes, which made everyone laugh, and the depressing atmosphere just now was also slightly eased.
"Although Benfica used this method to keep the draw this time, it doesn't mean that they are really the kind of team that we say we can win, after all, they are big teams, not so easy to deal with. If we can even bully such a team, won't it be all over Europe to run amok?
Moreover, if we take 10,000 steps back, aren't we still not angry? If we are strong enough, even if the opponent puts an iron bucket formation or something, we will poke a hole in it, and if they dare to swing, we can break it, so this is the most powerful means of counterattack, so we should not complain now, but should think about it, if we encounter such a situation in the future, what to do. ”
In fact, there are not a few people in the Boavista team who have thoughts like Edinho da Silva, and this scene also fell into the eyes of Chen Jinwu, in order to prevent everyone from going into a misunderstanding, Chen Jinwu had to take on the position of "political commissar" of the team at this time, and led the team to a right path.
Although Chen Jinwu is the youngest in the team and his qualifications are relatively shallow, given that he is the core of this team, and has an irreplaceable role in the team, and his influence is also the greatest, he is still fully qualified to say such things.
"That's right, instead of complaining about those useless ones, it's better to reflect on it, think about how to deal with this situation in the future, take this time as a lesson, and let our opponents know the serious consequences of doing so."
As the vice-captain, Marco Canela also stepped forward at this time to assist Chen Jinwu in doing such work. In fact, it can be seen from this point that in Boavista's team, Marco Canela is now only the nominal vice captain, in fact, including Marco Canela himself, the vice captain of the team recognized by everyone has become Chen Jianhao. There is no doubt that Chen Jianhao is the absolute spiritual leader of Boavista.
Although this game put an end to Boavista's winning streak, it also gave Boavista's players a timely wake-up call, plus Marco Canela and Chen Jinwu, so that everyone realized that in fact, there is still a lot to do, and now is far from the time to think about what record, at least the team's own strength has not yet reached that level.
Therefore, in the remaining time of the return trip, no one mentioned this matter, and everyone was thinking more about what they should strengthen, so that when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, they can better deal with it, so that they will not be led by the nose by the opponent again, but they have no way.
