Just as Guerrero was playing well on the left and seemed completely unstoppable, the situation suddenly changed.

The 45th minute, the last minute of the first half.

When Guerreiro once again picked up the ball on the left side close to the touchline, he noticed that there seemed to be more Swedes defending him.

It wasn't just right-back Lustig who took up the defensive position in front of him, but Wayne Bloom next to him was the first to get on the line, with the pair standing on his side right and forward, blocking his route to pass and dribble in the middle and forward.

As soon as the two were encircled, Guerrero could only hurriedly pass the ball to the B seat that came over to answer.

But this time, even such a safe horizontal transfer is not safe!

But Larsson, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly grabbed a scramble, grabbed the ball before the B seat, and intercepted the ball.

This is the role of Pan Yi's double-back tactics, that is, after one back waist grabs, there will be another back waist who is always ready to intercept the opponent's pass!

Larsson, on the other hand, had apparently already said hello to Wayne Bloom, had already anticipated Guerrero's passing lanes, and was on high alert next to seat B.

So as soon as Guerrero passed the ball, Larsson quickly got it.

Then, the Swedish midfielder and right-back played a long ball straight forward and forward.

And at the moment when Larsson broke the ball, the Swedish team's trident Ibrahimovic, Isak and Guideti were already the first to run forward.

Portugal's players also rushed back to defend, but only Fonte and Pepe were left behind, so they had to choose two of the players they considered the most threatening, Ibrahimovic and Isak.

But Larsson's pass was in the direction of Guidti.

The striker, who has the stature of a boxer but is equally known for his skill and speed, can be a striker or a winger on both wings, and is most proud of his impact.

Now, he caught a hole on Guerrero's side and was the first to counter offside when Larsson passed, sprinting quickly down the right and finally stopping the ball on the right side of the Portuguese penalty area.

At this time, the Portuguese central defender Pepe, who was closest to Guideti, had no choice, and when Guerreiro could not chase back into place, he could only choose to abandon Ibrahimovic and rush to the sideline of the penalty area, ready to block Guideti's lane.

Otherwise, Guideti, a striker with good shooting skills, is likely to look for a chance to shoot!

At the same time, Ibrahimovic also rushed quickly into the box, looking like he was about to receive Guidetti's cross.

Although he is a lot older, he is not slow at all when it comes to grabbing points.

And his height and weight are there, and he is full of power when he rushes!

This worried Fonte, who also left Isak behind and rushed over to desperately block between Ibrahimovic and the goal, denying Ibrahimovic a chance to face the goal directly.

This is mainly because Fonte also saw that his right-back Cedric had also run back at this time, so he could go and help prevent Isak.

Everyone knows that Ibrahimovic is the most dangerous man in the Swedish team!

And just as Font was in place, Ibrahimovic suddenly made a sharp stop and turned around and retreated in the direction of the penalty.

At that moment, Guidetti also chose to pass!

His pass also crossed most of the box, past Pepe in front of him, past Fonte and to the feet of Ibrahimovic near the penalty spot.

The Swedish striker came to a steady stop at Guideti's oncoming ball and could feel the trailing William Carvalho behind him, the Portuguese midfielder waiting for an opportunity to make a tackle and not let him turn around easily.

This whole process happens in an instant.

After all, Portugal had an advantage some time ago, and it felt like it was about to score, but the Swedish team's sudden counterattack directly tore through Portugal's defense and entered the penalty area.

This made the Portugal internationals very nervous, and their first instinctive reaction was to prevent Ibrahimovic from scoring!

But the Swedish captain stopped the ball, pulled it back, and pushed it sideways to the left.

I saw that Forsberg, who had been deliberately running far back before, was already ambushed at the front of the big penalty area at this time, and did not suppress his speed this time.

He rushed straight up, and the ball was directly a powerful volley!

The Portuguese only then saw the midfielder, who had not been noticed before, and by the time they realised the danger, it was too late.

Because even William Carvalho, the closest player to Forsberg, is probably five or six meters away!

At this time, the only person who could stop Forsberg was Patricio.

The Portuguese goalkeeper also stood up, but Forsberg's shot was powerful and angled.

This is what Forsberg does best in long-range positions!

Patricio made a limit save but couldn't quite touch the ball and it went straight into the net!

"The ball is in!!!!"

The on-site narrator was almost clapping the table and shouting.

And on the TV screen, Forsberg was seen excitedly rushing to the penalty area and running to the captain Ibrahimovic, who had provided him with an assist.

Ibrahimovic stretched out his hand to greet Guidetti, who had a good ball from the right, and motioned for all the players to come over.

The Swedish players hugged each other and then walked to the Swedish fan stands, all of them raising their arms and shouting!

The Swedish fans also erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and many people rushed out of their seats excitedly, cheering loudly for Pan Yi's team.

"It's so unexpected, Sweden equalised in a very passive situation!"

"A sharp counter-attack from Sweden tore apart Portugal's defence. Guidetti managed to defy offside on the right and then orchestrated the attack from the edge of the box, passing to Ibrahimovic, who used his body to keep Fonte and William Carvalho at bay and draw the attention of the defence and create a chance for Forsberg to cut in on the left. ”

"The Swedes were very fast and well prepared for the opposition's defence. Looking at this goal, I even have a feeling that Pan Yi has been executing his counterattack plan since the Swedish team took the initiative to expose the defensive holes on the right side, let Wayne Bloom get close to the middle, and lured Guerreiro to press the attack. ”

Amid the cheers of the Swedish fans all over the field, the big TV screens and live broadcasts on the pitch were replaying the whole process of the goal just now.

'It was a beautiful goal, but we could see that Wayne Bloom and Lustig's flanking strike against Guerreiro was crucial to Sweden's counter-attack.

"After the pinch, the Swedish team forced Guerreiro to pass the ball to seat B, but Larsson on the other side kept following the defense, which also led to the success of this break."

"The trident runs in three directions at the same time when it goes forward, which further stretches Portugal's only defensive strength apart and finally creates a lot of space for Guidetti to get the ball."

"From the whole process, the Swedish team's counterattack was premeditated, arranged, and the timing was very well controlled, as if it had been carefully calculated. That's why I feel that Pan Yi almost pinched the characteristics of Portuguese players to arrange and arrange this counterattack. ”

Then we saw that Guidetti didn't cross and Ibrahimovic didn't go up front, but opted for a delicate combination. Guideti passes to Ibrahimovic, who draws the attention of the defence and passes to the unmarked Forsberg! ”

"Before that, almost no one noticed Forsberg's presence, because he was still walking slowly and didn't look ready to participate in this attack."

"Coupled with the fact that Sweden's attack has only relied on three strikers before, Forsberg is more involved in defense, which also paralyzes the Portuguese team's defenders."

"And so we saw Forsberg's well-prepared, well-powered long-range shot!"

When he said this, the on-site commentator was full of praise.

"It's almost a textbook fightback. I can't put it more than perfection to describe my praise for Sweden's counterattack. ”

"This is definitely not the on-the-spot performance of the Swedish players, but a premeditated arrangement and arrangement by Pan Yi!"

"This counterattack made Portugal almost impossible to resist, and every step and detail was aimed at Portugal's disadvantage. This is a classic counter-attack case that should be enshrined in football textbooks! ”

Shortly after the Swedes returned to the pitch after their celebrations, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

'It wasn't the best 45 minutes, or to put it mildly, the first half was a bit dull.

"If it weren't for the two goals, it would have almost been a contest for the most dreary final in the history of the European Championship."

"But this kind of dullness contains a very high tactical duel. The managers of both sides are secretly brewing and preparing for the attack, and they are both patiently looking for holes in the other. Once they take their chances, they will unleash a thunderous offensive that will catch their opponents off guard. ”

"Portugal's goal was aimed at the holes in the Swedish team's defensive organization, and Pan Yi's relatively new defensive system was obviously not very mature, so Portugal took advantage of the Swedish team's problem to make a fuss, seized the opportunity, and took the lead."

And Pan Yi's tactics in this game looked conservative, and even when the team was behind, he didn't mean to turn defensive into offense. But as it turned out, he knew it in his heart. ”

He probably knows that if Sweden is forced to play against Portugal, he is likely to fall into the trap of the opponent's counter-attack. After all, even if Ronaldo has been injured and left the field, the speed and quality of Portugal's attacking front court are still guaranteed. ”

And Pan Yi's weak defense made the Portuguese rush to attack, wanting to expand the score again, so as to completely kill the game. Then the Swedes showed us what it means to be precise and deadly in a counterattack. ”

"It's the ultimate in tactical literacy, the whole process seems to be very calculated, and everyone executes it perfectly on the pitch, as if it were a delicate machine."

"Perhaps, in the eyes of many fans, this first half was mediocre and dull. But with this wonderful counter-attacking goal, I can declare that this half of the game alone is worth the ticket price! ”

'I feel like the second half will be more exciting because Portugal shouldn't have dared to draw with Sweden and then take a penalty. It can be seen from the penalty shootout against the German team that Pan Yi's intelligence work is as accurate as a prophet! ”

"So, Santos will definitely find a way...... Uh, now let's go through an ad, see you later! ”

The TV screen switched from the scene and the live broadcast room to the advertising screen, and all kinds of beauties appeared:

"Estee Lauder Star Three-Piece Set, Make Beauty Forever ......"

"Where will life lead you? What is travel? A trip is not a trip, nor is it just a vacation. Louis Vuitton, help you enjoy a new life every day......"

"A diamond lasts forever, and a diamond lasts forever. De Beers, witness love and marriage for you......"

——

The Swedish players were clearly still basking in the joy that followed the goal.

As soon as they walked into the locker room, they began to discuss one by one.

"Guidetti passes beautifully, the captain makes the ball beautifully, Forsberg shoots even better!"

"Haha, the Portuguese are stunned by us. The boss is awesome, and this set of tactics designed works well! ”

"yes, when the boss told us to keep defending, I thought I misheard. Unexpectedly, the Portuguese really couldn't bear it, so they still took the initiative to attack. ”

"I see, after Ronaldo is gone, there is nothing to fear about the Portuguese team."

"Yes, this championship is ours! We will definitely be able to bring the trophy back to our homeland! ”

However, such a heated discussion came to an abrupt end after Pan Yi pushed the door in.

Originally, they thought that the leader would praise them a few words when he came in, but looking at Pan Yi's expressionless face, they knew that they were thinking too much.

Sure enough, as soon as Pan Yi opened his mouth, he was:

'We didn't play well in the first half.

Then, the locker room immediately became quiet, and in the end, only Pan Yi's words remained:

"We just equalised, we didn't take the lead, we didn't win the title, what are you so optimistic about?"

"History tells us that even if you are three goals ahead, you can't open the champagne at half-time, let alone even if we are even?"

"Do you think the Portuguese team is weaker than us, or are we so strong that we are invincible?"

"In the second half, it was the real test for us! Now that we scored the equaliser, it only makes them more motivated, it also makes them more aggressive and aggressive, which is a test for our defence, for our counter-attack! ”

'So, who can guarantee that we won't be scored by them in the second half, or that we will score against them?'

In the face of Pan Yi's questioning, the players were silent and speechless.

Indeed, Portugal's attack was no joke.

In the first half, when all the Swedish players felt that their defense was solid, they were forced to dig a bloody hole by Portugal, and the opponent scored a crucial goal from under their noses.

The Swedish team's equalizer was also after a long period of entanglement, taking advantage of the opponent's psychological changes, and then using a sophisticated cooperation to score.

In other words, the two "guarantees" at both ends of offense and defense that Pan Yi said, no one dares to pat their chests to do it.

"Guys!" Pan Yi clapped his hands again at this time, reminding everyone to pay attention, "But don't worry too much." In the second half, as long as we stay absolutely focused, stay fully engaged, and make sure that we execute all the tactics that I have arranged, we can still do it, okay? ”

This is the strategy of Pan Yi, a master of psychology.

After frustrating the arrogance of the players, then giving encouragement, and then starting to lay out the tactics for the second half.

In doing so, the players will not be "complacent" because of a goal, so as to relax their requirements for themselves and the vigilance of the Portuguese team.

At the same time, it also gives the players enough confidence to know that as long as they focus on the game and concentrate, they can still achieve the desired results!

This can also allow the players to have a higher degree of acceptance of the tactics arranged by Pan Yi in the future, and finally reflected on the field, which is better execution.

At this time, the players were in high spirits, and they all replied in unison: "Okay, boss! ”

In the first half, Pan Yi's adjustment and command were the key to the team's equalizer, which the players knew better than anyone else.

Therefore, they were also convinced that Pan Yi could lead them to defeat Portugal, provided that everything was subject to Pan Yi's command and arrangement.

'At the start of the second half, I didn't ask you to put in the counter-attack, the first thing we had to do was to continue to make sure we were consistent defensively.

Pan Yi began to deploy in front of the tactical board: "Especially after the opponent cuts from the side to the middle, the conversion of our defensive system must be fast, and Larsson and Wayne Bloom in the back position must pay close attention to the team's defensive transition and provide adequate protection." ”

"Everything we did in the second half was based on the premise of a solid defence, and all of you have to remember to me that if we let Portugal score again, then we will be in danger!"

"On the basis of a solid defence, our counter-attack continued with our first-half strategy. Once the ball is broken, whether it is facing a defender or holding the ball with your back, you must hold it as much as possible before passing. ”

"But you must remember that the first consideration after breaking the ball is to protect the ball, don't be easily broken! Don't think that the threat of counter-attacking will drop when Ronaldo is off, in fact, Quaresma and Nani's movements are more unpredictable and more difficult to defend. ”

"Of course, there is an advantage to Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from the pitch, which is that their ability to compete for the top in the air will be greatly reduced. That's when our centre-backs can focus more on the ball at their feet. ”

'But because their two strikers are very flexible, the centre-backs and wing-backs have to coordinate well and stay in position to avoid being blown up by a single soldier.

"Also, when you defend Quaresma, you have to be careful to prevent his right instep shot, and you have to ...... from your position"

The players listened attentively and took it to heart.

After being reprimanded by Pan Yi, where did they dare to relax in the slightest?

And, within them, there's a vision that drives them to stay 100% focused.

Because, whether you can create history and become a hero supported by the people of the whole country depends on these 45 minutes!
