But what's really going on......

'Benfica's backline has been in great form this year and they are not lacking in height. Although Ibrahimovic has subjectively solved the difficulty of physical confrontation, his real confrontation ability is lower than that of Drogba. ”

"He hasn't started to hang up yet, and this kind of high-intensity confrontation could be injury-inducing."

"Coupled with the fact that Benfica has Nuno Gomez as a sparring partner in the team, this backline can better cope with the attack in the middle."

"That's why I'd advise Ibrahimovic to play as many sides as possible."

Joao Pinto also joined the coaching staff in the discussions.

This made Paulo Bento, who is also Portugal's golden generation, envious and hateful.

Pinto, of course, told Trigra everything he had learned at Benfica.

It is precisely because of this that Deng Kai told Ibrahimovic that the team will create opportunities for him to overpower Maniche in the next game.

Isn't Maniche a winger?

Nayibu is also active on the wing.

This is exactly what Ibrahimovic wants.

As for whether Ibrahimovic can play on the wing......

If you ask him to play as a winger like Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, it will definitely not work.

Lukaku later used his actions to show that the "beer belly winger" is unreliable.

But the center on the wing...... Ibrahimovic can still kick it.

What is a wing center?

The usual fulcrum centre-forward, who mainly retreats to the top of the arc of the penalty area to receive the ball, provides a fulcrum between the midfield and midfield, helping the football to get through this area and form a real threat to possession.

Or wait for a teammate's cross from the side in the penalty area, and a long pass to make a direct kill.

Wing centre-forwards do not possess the latter ability, as their area of activity is not in the box, but on both sides.

The area where they achieve the fulcrum role is not in the middle outside the arc of the big penalty area, but on the flanks on both sides.

The team's high ball will be given after they have moved to the wing.

This puts a lot less pressure on the centre-forwards when they receive the ball than they do in the middle, and they are much more relaxed in their handling of football.

However, correspondingly, this requires more of their speed, foot skills, cutting skills, and crossing ability.

That's why Ibrahimovic can be a wide centre-forward, his skills at his feet are no worse than those of a regular winger, and although he can't match Quaresma in terms of speed, he is no less silky.

Although the speed is not as fast as Cristiano Ronaldo, it is definitely not a classic car.

After all, he is young, and he has no meat, and his current speed is not much worse than Drogba.

And Drogba's speed is already a high-speed tank in the center.

……

On October 24, the seventh round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon travels to the Stadium of Light to challenge Benfica.

So far, Sporting Lisbon are at the top of the standings.

In second place is Porto, who have won all the league games so far.

It's just a little bit less on goal difference.

However, Jardel's goal tally is currently the highest in the Portuguese Super League, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo's six league goals and Quaresma's five.

Third is Benfica, who are two points behind Boavista after a draw with Boavista.

A win in this game would see Benfica overtake Sporting Lisbon.

Considering that this season is mostly a war between the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, this game has become a game worth six points!

The Stadium of Light was packed.

In the new season, all the fans are looking forward to a bright future for the club.

In the first five minutes, the two sides fought quite fiercely, and neither was willing to give up possession to the opponent.

Maniche played as a striker, but was extra desperate in terms of strangulation in midfield, and also helped the team win some slight advantage in midfield.

It seems that football is more of a Sporting Lisbon half-pitch.

But in the seventh minute, Mateus suddenly pressed horizontally, teamed up with Deschamps to yin a wave of Benfica's midfield, and completed a steal in the middle.

Sporting Lisbon's front court was still running, and Benfica's return speed was also fast, so there were no good chances.

Mateus only took a look and passed the ball back to Dunkay, without making too many ineffective possession.

Deng Kai, who was pressed to the backcourt by Maniche, did not stop the ball and made a long pass with his big foot.

It turned out that at this time, Ronaldo on the left had completed the exchange with Ibrahimovic in the middle.

Ibrahimovic is running towards the left wing.

When the opponent finishes retreating, it is not easy for a speedy wing player like Ronaldo to get the ball, because if you want him to get the ball, you have to give the ball behind you, and you have to let him run.

When he runs, he has a probability of getting the ball more than 50 percent.

But the opponent has finished retreating, which means that there is not much room left for you to run, and you will break out of the bottom line in two steps.

If you don't give the ball behind you and grab points directly with the opponent, Ronaldo's biggest advantage will be gone, and the probability of getting the ball may only be 30%.

In the same way, to give Quaresma the ball in front of him, the kind that makes Quaresma retreat two steps back to catch the ball, so that the probability of getting the ball can reach 80% on average.

Because he directly looked for Quaresma, Quaresma fought with the opponent, and the advantage was smaller, and the probability of getting the ball was less than 10%.

But retreating to catch the ball, on the one hand, he can pull the opponent out, on the other hand, with his flexibility and skill, after receiving the ball, they may be able to shake the opponent over as soon as they turn around, and then it will be cool and crooked.

So the opponent didn't dare to press too hard, and Quaresma was easy to get the football.

However, Ibrahimovic is different.

Deng Kai's long pass gave a distance for Ibrahimovic to fight with the opponent.

Not near, not far, no need for Ibrahimovic sprints and retreats.

Ibrahimovic jammed Benfica's right-back and received the ball with ease.

The other party was desperately harassing behind him, but the effect was obviously not good.

You say it might be useful for the centre-backs to harass like that, but the full-backs ...... Ibu could only say sorry to the other party.

Leaning lightly against the other, Eevee finished turning.

After two shakes under his feet in succession, he suddenly dialed the ball and crossed.

After Benfica's right-back was knocked away by Ibrahimovic, he didn't go up again to look for confrontation, because it was looking for abuse.

He opened up a little distance, which was beneficial to defend Ibrahimovic, because Ibrahimovic would not be too fast, and as soon as the distance was opened, Ibrahimovic would not be able to pass him.

Even if it's an Ibrahimovic cross, he can block it with confidence, and he can get stuck in front of Ibrahimovic's pass and stretch his leg to block it.

This is the advantage of small high agility players over large low agility players.

The front and back swing of the big man doing the action is too long.

However......

Bang!

The football flew into the big penalty area.

Benfica's right-back was full of horror.

He did anticipate Ibrahimovic's movements.

But he didn't expect Ibrahimovic's legs to be so long!

With the advantage of leg length, Ibrahimovic kicked the football a little further out when his movements were predicted, thus avoiding the opponent's interception.

It's too late, it's too fast.

Ronaldo, who had just stood still in the penalty area, rushed to the front point again with the strength of the opponent's push, and gave the opponent a force confrontation when he left, so that the opponent had no chance to catch up.
