"Tsk, Scolari's coaching style has not changed at all, using ubiquitous small actions and fouls to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and strengthen the defense, and then relying on the free play of several stars in the front court and a flash of inspiration to complete the attack......" After the players on both sides left the field one after another and the game entered the halftime break, Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the VIP box, couldn't bear to be lonely and began to comment on the tactics used by Portugal in the first half," Although Scolari's style of play has largely ruined the spectacle and fluidity of the game, it has to be said that this set of tactics is indeed quite suitable for Portugal now. If Portugal were still in the pursuit of flashy spectacle as before, they might have been overwhelmed by Italy's quick counter-attack, and where else could they be as deadlocked on the pitch as they are now? ”
Although due to Romario's relationship, Zhuang Mingge is not very interested in Scolari, but I have to admit that after Big Phil took office, he still brought many positive changes to Portugal, such as tough defense and more efficient attack, as well as more emphasis on tactical discipline and so on. These changes brought by Scolari to Portuguese football have made Portugal, which often drops the chain at a critical moment, even stronger, and officially become a force to be reckoned with in European football!
You know, before Scolari took charge, the achievements of the Portuguese national team, with the golden generation as the main team, in international competitions can be described as extremely dismal. Except for Euro 2000, which was really amazing to reach the semi-finals, the rest of the time was basically playing soy sauce (failed to qualify for the group stage of the 02 World Cup, fell to the Czechs in Euro 96 and stopped in the quarterfinals, and the 94 and 98 World Cups did not even enter the finals), which basically did not impress the fans. After his arrival, Portugal won the European Championship runner-up and the World Cup fourth.
Even in Eusebio's time, Portugal did not achieve so many honours at international competitions. Scolari's ability is evident from this.
Despite this, the fans' assessment of Scolari is still mixed. The reason is simple, because many of the unconventional tactics used by the head coach in the game have been despised by many. For example, in the first game of the 02 World Cup, Turkey was sent off because of a wonderful performance by Rivaldo, which directly led to the successful reversal of the Star and Moon Army by Brazil with one goal first; The sky-breaking red and yellow card battle with the Netherlands in the 06 World Cup made Basten's young and vigorous orange team return home in the round of 16......
Overall, at the national team level, Scolari is indeed a very good manager, and his coaching style and management methods are also very suitable for a team like Portugal, which is more than flashy but not tough. On the other hand, Scolari is not suited to coach a big-name club where there are more stars and a much lower tolerance for a manager than he did when he was in the national team.
After all, the contact time between players and coaches in the national team is quite limited, even if some players are dissatisfied with the way the coach governs the team, there are any contradictions and generally endure it, even if it comes to the big year at most, it is more than a month to train together, and most players will not fall out with the head coach under the temptation of the big game. In the club, the players and coaches meet almost every day except for the off-season and the national team break, and the probability of conflict is naturally much higher than when they are in the national team.
It's like when you go to school, most people will have some conflicts or conflicts when they get along with their classmates on weekdays, and occasionally they will fight on impulse, but when you attend a class reunion after graduation, you generally don't think about these unpleasant things, even if someone occasionally makes a break at the party, it will not affect the atmosphere. In the next opinion, the state of the players in the national team and in the club is basically the same, in the national team tends to be more tolerant, and in the club there is a bit of a retribution.
Now let's get down to business, after the fifteen-minute half-time break, the players from both sides who are back on the pitch are back in a fierce battle of attack and defence. The Italian players, who had recovered some of their strength, launched several attacks after the start of the second half, but under the endless small movements and targeted fouls of the Portuguese players, Italy's attacks were rudely interrupted by the opponent as soon as they formed a threat, and failed to pose enough threat to the Portuguese door.
Although it relied on compressing the backcourt space and foul tactics to resist Italy's attack, Portugal's attack also did not face the dilemma of not being able to open the situation. As Portugal's first choice up front, Pauletta almost squandered a full half of his scoring chances in the first half, and that situation did not improve in the second half.
Despite this, Scolari has no intention of replacing Pauletta. Because the Brazilian coach knows in his heart that Gomez and Postiga on the bench will only get worse. Pauletta just wasted these opportunities because of the technical characteristics, and it is estimated that these two will have to play stealth directly on the field.
The reason why Scolari did not achieve the same great success as he did in the six years he coached Portugal in the South Korea-Japan World Cup was mainly because Portugal has never had a powerful attacking combination like the 3R, so that Scolari's tactical routines could not be used to the fullest.
To say that Scolari is also quite unlucky, when he first coached Portugal, although he caught up with the tail of the golden generation, the front line was full of second-rate goods like Pauletta Gomez Postiga, who were not good at fighting tough battles, which led to Portugal's defeat in the 04 Euro Cup and the 06 World Cup; In the 08 Euro Cup, it was difficult to wait for Ronaldo to grow up, but the midfield regressed seriously due to the retirement of the golden generation and the aging of other key players in the team, and the new generation of Anderson and Nani are the main ones who are young again, which led to a further decline in the overall strength of Portugal and completely fell out of the ranks of the first-class teams in Europe.
This European Cup semi-final with Italy can be said to be the best proof of Portugal's lack of front. Despite Italy's tight defence, Pauletta was given plenty of chances under the lead of the Portuguese midfield, consisting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Costa and Figo, but unfortunately, with the likes of Nesta, he was unable to turn those chances into much-needed goals for the hosts.
In this way, as the minutes passed, the game began to enter the white-hot stage, but the score remained unchanged, and the 0-0 score still shone on the big screen of the Alvalada Stadium, quietly waiting for someone to step up and rewrite the number.
