Chapter 143: The Great War between Spain and Portugal
"After the rain, you must drink some brown sugar ginger soup, I will send you the recipe, and you ask your family to prepare some."
"It's the easiest thing to catch a cold after this rainy day."
"I don't have anything on my side, there might be a tactical meeting later."
"Okay, thank you for your blessings, I'll definitely do my best."
As Deng Kai hung up the phone affectionately, Ronaldo pinched his nose on the side and imitated Deng Kai and Hathaway's tone: "I have a tactical meeting later, you go and rest first, vomit ......"
Deng Kai's backhand is a slipper.
"You dare to say that there is nothing between you?" Ronaldo threw the slippers back.
Deng Kai smiled: "It's just a normal and polite greeting. Someone called, I can't hang up right away, right? That's not my style either. β
Veloso happened to come out of the dormitory at this time: "Kai, I just called you, why did you hang up immediately after I said my name?" β
Ronaldo looked at Deng Kai, who was a little embarrassed, come, I'll listen to your quibbles.
"I'm sorry, Veloso, but your beginnings are hard to convince me that you're not a scam." Deng Kai spread his hands and repeated the first words that Veloso said after answering the phone, "Kai, can you lend me some money?" My dad seems to have gone to play at another club, and I can't contact him because my phone bill is down. β
"Help me recharge my expenses, and I'll pay back double in the future!"
Ronaldo looked puzzled: "Is there something wrong with this?" β
Deng Kai was incredulous: "My God, your level of anti-fraud is really hard to make the fraudsters in northern Myanmar unimpressed." You should really go through some anti-scam knowledge, otherwise you will be cheated sooner or later. β
Deng Kai then charged Veloso a thousand euros.
Veloso was dumbfounded.
This...... I don't need that much.
"Remember to return it twice." Deng Kai said that he would never miss out on this kind of business with a 100% return on investment.
After communication between Veloso and his father, it was learned that Benfica's first-team captain and main right-back Antonio Veloso transferred to Porto.
That gave Benfica a punch.
There are three giants in the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, and Benfica.
In fact, the top players are also flowing between the three families.
This has also led to repeated quarrels between the three clubs over player transfer issues.
No one wants their players to be on the side of their rivals next season.
Antonio assumed the title of betrayer of the team for his son.
This touched Veloso very much.
"I will definitely repay my father with the best performance on the court!" Veloso was moved to tears.
Deng Kai also cheered for their father and son: "Come on, Veloso, you have to try to get into the Portuguese national team before your father retires from the national team. β
"In this way, you are a rare double international player in world football, and you are a father and son soldier!"
Deng Kai said it easily.
But this sentence was firmly remembered by Veloso.
He was so motivated to find the real motivation to play his first kick in addition to loving the accident.
Afterwards, we went to a tactical meeting.
Violante brought in Trigra to help.
They analysed Spain's Under-16 quality and style of play in detail.
It was concluded that Spain's passing had to be stifled.
"We only have two options, either we can defend and play this game with a draw." "Or press all over the court, grab a start, and then crouch. β
Not to mention Portugal U16, even if it is a real Portuguese national team, it is impossible to press another team for 90 minutes.
There is no team in this world that has this kind of fitness.
But Deng Kai expressed concern about this tactic: "The Spanish players have good passing skills. Their midfield combination is all from Barcelona and they are very well connected. β
"Most of the rest of the players are from Barcelona or Real Madrid."
'It's okay to want to keep the whole game, but you need a specific defensive plan.
Trigra said, "For example? β
Deng Kai: "For example, we can combine pressing and crouching. You've just shown the results of BarΓ§a's youth team this season, and most of their games have come with their first goal in the second half. β
"It shows that they met with stubborn resistance, but in the end, the other side still didn't hold on."
'I think it has something to do with the fact that they give them too much space to carry the ball.
"When the football is in their half, we should squat and not be pulled out easily. Ensure the stability of the midfield and the back. β
'But when they take the ball past the half, our midfielders should take the initiative and increase the tempo of the confrontation and the ball and put pressure on them.
"Let them either pass back or concede the ball. We can't give them the environment to handle football easily in our half, otherwise they can penetrate our whole defence with clever passing. β
Deng Kai's words gave Trigra a concrete entry point for his squatting tactics.
Violante then had a careful analysis with Trigra and then came up with a set of half-court pressing tactics.
By actively pressing the defense in their own half, they can limit Spain's attack.
Defensive, but proactive.
This is very different from a traditional squatting pit.
Subsequently, the team also practiced this defensive tactic.
There are quite a few questions.
Because players who actively press are essentially out of position, this means that if they can't get the opponent to pass back or complete the tackle, then the opponent can catch their loss of position.
Therefore, other players should make up for this loophole to a certain extent.
Violante, meanwhile, highlighted fouls and encouraged everyone not to be afraid of yellow cards.
But at the same time, players who receive yellow cards must control themselves and never receive red cards.
β¦β¦
June 23.
On the eve of the Spanish-Portuguese war, the Spanish team was interviewed.
The young Barcelona star Andres Iniesta has the style of a big man: "We have absolute confidence in our midfield, we will control the tempo of the game and be the dominant players in the game. β
"We have the patience to hunt the Portuguese team slowly."
"We have a lot of experience in the league and that's what we're good at."
"Which players are we worried about in the Portuguese team?"
"Quaresma, he's an absolute superstar, and no one doesn't take him seriously."
'Cristiano Ronaldo is also a problem and there could be some threats to his speed.
"Deng Kai is a very good midfielder, but it is difficult for a midfielder who does not have football at his feet to play to his full strength, and he is not in our range of concerns."
However, when the game actually started, it was discovered that Iniesta was completely lying.
Because when Deng Kai finally managed to hold the ball, Barcelona midfielder Arteta put down Deng Kai for the first time.
Deng Kai is obviously the most feared player in the Matador Army.
