"Welcome to the Bosur Stadium, I'm Verbeek! Today on the commentary bench, we have the former Antwerp Meritorious Coach ****** Maius! ”

"Good evening, everybody!"

Maius coached Antwerp in the nineties.

In the 91/92 season, he led the team to a runner-up finish in the First Division, and won the cup that season, allowing him to participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 92/93 season.

Under Meus's leadership, Antwerp made it all the way to the Cup Winners' Cup final.

But in the final, they lost 3-1 to Parma and went home with a hate of it.

At the end of the season, the ambitious Antwerp sacked Meus. However, since the departure of Maius, Antwerp has not slowed down. The two seasons in charge of Meus were their last glory.

"The players from both sides have already entered the game, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides."

Real Antwerp, goalkeepers: 1, Willocks.

Defenders: 2, Cedric, 6, Cisse, 8, Mihem, 18, Dries.

Midfielders: 10, Yu Liang, 24, Suleimani, 16, Biga, 17, Feryans, 24, Darren Gibson.

Forward: 29, Dong Wang.

Moss Gallen, goalkeeper: 1, Patrice.

Midfielders: 14, Osusala, 22, Yassin, 20, David Guntia, 17, Nuku, 26, Patrick Dybala.

Forwards: 7, Kastovich.

"Judging from the starting lists of both sides, they are both midfielders. Want to make a fuss in midfield. Sir, what do you think we should pay attention to in this game? ”

"First of all, Mosgaulen has a lot of players up front, and if you want to contain their attack, you have to reduce their attacking speed. Judging by the starting line-up, Van Ake is well prepared. Of course, this should have something to do with Mosgaulen's early announcement of the starting list! Secondly, in terms of attack, we need to be able to play the ball quickly, avoid getting tangled with the opponent, and have the opportunity to hit the opponent directly behind him. ”

"Okay, Mr. ****** has made it quite clear. So let's watch the game next. ”

……

The visiting Mosgaulen won the tee off in the side pick. Trailing 1-0 on aggregate, they attacked as soon as the whistle blew at the start of the game. Two wide players. Immediately he stepped forward quickly, attracting the defence of Suleimani and Gibson. With the advance of Mosgaulen's players and the retreat of Suleimani and Gibson, there was an immediate gap in the Antwerp midfield defence.

In order to contain Mosgaulen's attack, Van Ake fine-tuned the team's formation, and the overall formation presented 4141.

In midfield, Solmani, Biga, Ferjans and Darren Gibson lined up to form the team's first line of defence. After the retreat of Suleimani and Gibson. There was a big gap between the two of them and the mid lane.

After Osusala, who was dribbling in front of the center circle, tried to break through, he crossed diagonally to the left.

At this point, their left wing-back Joffrey was cutting forward at high speed. When he was about to catch up with the football, he took the ball away with one foot.

"Roar, pretty! Yu Liang appeared in a key position, formed an interception, and saw if there was a counterattack! ”

In this game, Yu Liang played as a single midfielder, behind the four of Suleimani. The main task is to fill in the gaps and sweep them up.

When Suleimani and Gibson retreated, Yu Liang had already noticed two gaps. But he wasn't sure if Mosgaulen would choose left or right, until he watched their left wing-back move forward quickly and the right wing-back dragged at the back, and Yu Liang was on the right side. Then I went straight to the right.

Sure enough, just as he was about to finish the fill-in, Mosgaulen's pass arrived.

After he broke the ball, Mosgaulen's left wing-back Jofrey did not immediately return to the defense, but pressed straight towards him.

After making a feint to pass the ball to the middle, after deceiving Whiffrey, Yu Liang distributed the ball to the right with the outside instep.

Gibson, who had already stepped forward at this time, made a direct pass after receiving the football, and then continued to move forward quickly.

After receiving Gibson's pass, King Dong in the front court immediately knocked on the side, and then quickly turned and stepped forward.

Gibson's speed was not very fast, but his pass was accurate, and after receiving a cross knock from King Dong, he directly penetrated Mosgalen's broken defense.

"Single-handed......"

Just as all the Antwerp fans were cheering for King Dong's one-on-one knife, the linesman raised his flag.

"Ah, it's offside, this ball of King Dong is offside!"

Verbeek couldn't believe his eyes, and he kept an eye on Gibson's pass.

"It was indeed offside, and the moment King Dong stepped forward, another defender who was dragged behind by Mosgaulen moved a step forward. It seems that Mosgolen is also fully prepared for this game, and this offside tactic makes up for the shortcomings of their slow turning. ”

See the whole process clearly.

"Yes, yes! In this way, whether Antwerp will continue to fight behind him has become a question for Van Ake to consider! Both sides are prepared and it seems destined to be a good game! ”

Seeing the linesman raise the flag, King Dong sighed helplessly, and then gave Gibson a thumbs up.

After the Mosgaulen goalkeeper kicked off, they continued to try to attack from the wings.

After the opening stroke, both Soleimani and Gibson paid attention to the depth of the retreat when defending, not giving them a lot of gaps. With Yu Liang filling in the gaps behind them, Mos Gaulen didn't get a good chance.

Van Ake still insisted on playing behind, but in Mosgaulen's offside tactics, their counter-attacks also ended in failure.

By the 30th minute of the first half, King Guangdong was offside 6 times.

Of those six passes, Gibson made four passes from the right and Soleimani made two passes on the left. Yu Liang in the backcourt, in these 30 minutes, did not show his accurate long pass.

While the team was on the counter-attack, Yu Liang had been watching Mosgaulen's defense.

It's not big news that Mosgaulen's defenders are slow to turn. In the last leg, they took advantage of Mosgaulen's shortcomings to score.

Obviously, in order to avoid this shortcoming being caught by Antwerp again, they used the tactic of creating an offside position.

Through these 30 minutes of observation, Yu Liang found that the two players dragged by Mosgaulen at the back were not central defenders, but their defensive midfielder No. 22 Yassin and right wing-back No. 3 Charrett. That means their centre-back is above their centre-back at right-back.

"Sure enough!"

After carefully observing the player above the opponent's right full-back position, Yu Liang smiled.

Their full-backs and centre-backs did switch positions, and the reason why they didn't notice it before was that the two players looked alike, with similar heights and shapes, and the same hairstyles.

After determining this, Yu Liang felt that he had a new offensive idea.

After cutting off Mosgaulen's pass, Yu Liang did not divide the side this time, but directly made a diagonal long pass, directly hitting the back of the opponent's "right fullback".

Although Suleimani was inserting quickly, he still couldn't catch up with the ball, and Yu Liang's pass went straight out of the bottom line.

Watching the football go out of the bottom line, Yu Liang sighed in annoyance.

When Yu Liang sighed in annoyance, Mosgaulen head coach Heert, who was standing on the sidelines, became nervous.

The reason why the team's starting list was announced in advance before the game was not that he had strong self-confidence, but that the team did not have too many quality players for him to rotate.

The eleven people on the field now are the strongest lineup he can put together.

He can't fundamentally solve the problem of slow turning of defenders, and can only make adjustments from the tactical point of view. Pull the right wing-back, who turns quickly, to the middle and drag him back. Let the left wing-back, who is slow to turn but has a strong ability to assist, attack boldly. Draw Antwerp to their left and then create an offside play.

This is one of the reasons why he announced the starting list in advance, in order to paralyze Van Ake.

Judging by the first thirty minutes of the game, his tactics worked well.

But no matter how his tactics are adjusted, what can't be changed is the speed of the players' turns. So when Yu Liang hit him on the right side with a long pass, he immediately became nervous. If Yu Liang found out about his tactical arrangement, then everything would be wasted, but if it was just a simple change in the direction of attack, then he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

After watching the team's attack be intercepted by Antwerp again, Haiert nervously looked at Yu Liang with the ball.

After seeing Yu Liang distribute the ball to Gibson on the right, Helt immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That pass should just be a trial of variations......" (To be continued.) )
