Chapter 336: The end of Sporting Lisbon is the Westphalian Stadium
But then again, Kluivert, the opener of the modern centre-forward, also really has a hand in heading.
In the seventeenth minute, Overmars challenged Barzagli on the wing.
His dribbling was even sharper than Quaresma's, and he changed direction directly and easily to eat Barzagli raw.
Barzagli is extremely capable of tackling one-on-one, but the downside is that he is the slowest to turn among the three centre-backs. He's not the best option on the right flank, he's very awkward.
As a central defender, he has a little bit of passing skills, and his tackling ability is not perfect.
As a full-back, the steal was played perfectly, but the shortcomings of the slow turn were exposed.
In fact, the two-centre-back system of a back four is more suitable for him to play, but Sporting Lisbon cannot change the formation for him alone.
After Ovemas got past Barzagli, he made a lovely cross before Didier Deschamps could make up for it.
Kluivert leaps high, he is a little shorter than Font, but Font is completely unable to jump in front of his strong body, and can only give some vague influence.
Bang!
The ball was slightly over the crossbar and was just 10 centimeters away from the goal.
Kluivert shook his head and looked at Font.
Font also noticed Kluivert's eyes, and then blushed.
They both knew what each other meant.
Kluivert: This centre-back turned out to be the weakest link in Sporting Lisbon's defence! Just hit him!
Fonte:! They found out I was the weakest one at the back, what should I do? Kai Shao save me!
Yes, it's that outrageous.
What many consider to be the most important position in the backline, centre-back, is indeed the weakest link at Sporting Lisbon.
This is the "perfect plan" that Trigra and Marksa have studied for a long time and finally come up with.
As we all know, Fonte was one of the five tiger generals behind Deng Kai of the Sporting Lisbon academy team that year.
Later, he followed Deng Kai to join Moreirense to compete in the Portuguese League, and now he is the first fan of the team.
After many teams, Font and Deng Kai inherited a solid revolutionary friendship.
Purely from the point of view of strength, the original two central defenders in the Sporting Lisbon team, Marcos and Facundo, are not weaker than Fonte, forget it, to be honest, slightly stronger than Fonte.
And even if they are not considered, having Pepe replace Fonte and then switch places with Barzagli is the best solution for this team's backline.
But the key is that Font can't help but start.
Fonte is a banner and a sign of respect for Deng Kai within the team.
What is the premise for Deng Kai to take the initiative to retreat for the team to let players such as Viana and Quaresma have better room to play?
It's he who can feel absolutely respected in this team.
The givings are all mutual.
If the team wins Fonte and does not respect Deng Kai's hidden privileges in this team, then Deng Kai will definitely not continue to compromise on the court.
At that time, the conflict between him and players such as Viana and Quaresma will erupt.
And without him, Mateus and Deschamps will not be so comfortable at the back, and the team's defensive strength will also decline.
So although Fonte is not important at all, it is important to let Fonte start.
Fonte's Kaifan tactics proved to be successful.
But for the sake of harmony and respect, the team also has to take the risk of being targeted by the other side.
However, Deng Kai obviously noticed this, and he began to consciously let Deschamps appear more in the central midfield, and he was slightly to the right. Reducing Deschamps' area of responsibility relieves Deschamps' pressure and improves Deschamps' protection of the area in front of Fonte.
In the 22nd minute, Deng Kai passed the ball back to Deschamps, and then pulled the side by himself.
Quaresma retreated to receive a pass from Didier Deschamps and cut inside directly on the right rib.
Forcing Barjuan to abandon Dunkai and shrink inward to prevent Quaresma from passing and bursting straight into the penalty area.
Bang!
Quaresma did the same, and in the middle of dribbling the ball in the front, he suddenly flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot and gave the ball to Deng Kai on the wing.
Both of the outside instep kings have a weird split-edge ability in this position.
Bang!
Deng Kai faced the football directly and crossed the ball without stopping.
This kind of "anxious" way of dealing with it is not allowed by the vast majority of teams.
In the case of space and time, the quality of passing the football steadily is at least two or three gears higher than passing the ball without stopping.
What's more, it takes time for teammates to run a lot of times.
Of course, there are also very few team cores who are qualified and capable of playing this kind of spiritual football, which makes the attack suddenly accelerate.
These details are all points that can reflect Deng Kai's real team status.
Inter Milan fans, who have previously shouted that Viana is the absolute core of Sporting Lisbon, have a hard time noticing this kind of detail, or deliberately ignoring it and only seeing what they want to see.
"Deng Kai crosses from the side! The processing is very simple and fast, but the accuracy is ......"
"Football gives a lot and Drogba in the middle of the middle can't get football. Viana, who came in from the middle lane, couldn't catch up, and if Deng Kai waited for a while and then passed it, Viana would be a threat at this point. β
"The pass was big, and the ball went straight to the back post...... De Boer was at the back post and he was going to confiscate the ball this time, he ...... Cristiano Ronaldo! β
"Cristiano Ronaldo is so fast! He actually rushed to the position! β
"Cristiano Ronaldo jumps high! De Boer was careless, he wanted to control the football directly, not clear the ball, so he didn't jump. β
"It's too high! Ronaldo's abdomen pressed De Boer's head, and De Boer had lost the ability to jump! β
"He's not jumping at all, he's just taking off!"
Bang!
Cristiano Ronaldo took off at the back point, although the angle of the shot was not large, but the victory was that goalkeeper Reina had just turned his head and had no conditions to save.
Swish!
The soccer ball flies into the goal.
Ronaldo and De Boer fell to the ground at the same time, but the young Ronaldo turned over and yelled at De Boer: "Roar!! β
His chest was high and proud, like a rooster.
De Boer was still a little confused, and he didn't quite come to his senses.
In addition, Drogba, Viana and other players came to celebrate with Ronaldo for the first time, but he had no chance to find Ronaldo's stubble.
βGOALοΌοΌοΌβ
"Cristiano Ronaldo breaks the deadlock for the team! The dark horse is really going to be black to the end! β
He roared at De Boer, which avenged De Boer's previous yelling at him!
"It was also Cristiano Ronaldo's 10th goal in this UEFA Cup! He has now surpassed his teammate Deng Kai and is the top scorer in the UEFA Cup! β
"He jumped too high! There was a haze over Barcelona as Ronaldo hovered over them in a bomber! β
"CD Connection! Breaking through the goals of Inter Milan, Kaiserslautern and Barcelona one after another, this youth storm continues to rage, is it really the Westfalen Stadium, the venue for the final of the UEFA Cup? β
