Chapter 329: Equal

As soon as the game began, São Paulo showed their style of football.

They don't move forward very fast, the ball is at the feet of each player, and they are used to taking a few strokes, which is rare in modern football, where there is an emphasis on wholeness and speed.

If there are two or three people in a team who play like that, it will definitely disrupt the overall rhythm of the team; But if everybody plays like that, the rhythm is the same.

The ball is moving slowly under the players' feet most of the time, but that doesn't mean they can't get up.

In fact, almost every one of São Paulo's stars has a strong individual ability, ready to burst forward with the ball or deliver a scalpel-like through ball at any time.

It is this sudden change in rhythm that is the easiest to catch the opponent off guard when listening to thunder in a silent place.

What's more, they also have Pato in the front line.

The former winner of the "European Golden Boy Award" was once seen as Pele's successor. Although he is now in his 30s, he is far from the heights he had hoped for, but he is still the most expensive player in São Paulo. His speed, agility, flexibility and creativity are the key to the team's pace change.

In the 17th minute, Sao Paulo played what they do best.

After a number of touches from several players, the ball found its way to the feet of defender Hernanes.

Hernanes, nicknamed "The Prophet", took the ball in the midfield, seemingly unremarkable and took a few left and right strokes, but in fact he has been observing the movement of his teammates.

Suddenly, without warning, he suddenly took a long pass, and the ball flew precisely behind the DB defence.

Striker Pablo Felipe was already waiting for an opportunity to fly towards the ball's spot.

But DB's defense line is not vegetarian, and Kusey in the 3 central defenders is dragging last, playing the role of protecting the defense in the center.

Judged the landing point of the ball in advance, and before Felipe, he jumped high and cleared the ball with a header.

The ball was pushed out, but the second drop was prejudged by Pato.

The ball was pushed to Pato's feet, and he unloaded the ball and assaulted it in one go.

Ricardo rushed to block, but Pato was running at high speed when he suddenly pulled the ball and shook it over Ricardo.

Not even the speed of running slowed down in the slightest.

Another centre-back, Batur, rushed over to help the defence, fearing that Pato would use his nimble body to pass again, so his center of gravity was kept low.

Defenders can lower their center of gravity to avoid being deducted by the opponent to the greatest extent, but it will also slow down the defender's start and not be able to keep up with the opponent's sprint.

Pato, who has traveled all over the world, saw Batur's flaws at a glance, his body swayed slightly, and it looked like he was about to smash the ball, but it was actually a feint, and he suddenly rushed forward with the ball.

Batur was not known for his speed, and when he started with all his strength in a startled, he was already slow and was left behind by Pato.

At this time, Kusay, the lagging central defender who was responsible for protecting the defensive line, had already rushed over and stood firmly in front of Pato.

With Cusai in front of Pato and Batur and Ricardo behind him, it looks like there is no way to escape.

However, Pato was running at high speed when he suddenly knocked the ball to his heel.

This shot surprised everyone, and the ball passed under the crotch of Ricardo, who was chasing back.

Broken!

The DB back trio knew something was wrong, because the three central defenders were all attracted to Pato and had no defense against the others!

Sure enough, there was an empty space in the middle of the penalty area.

Sao Paulo striker Everton da Silva arrived and slotted the ball away.

It was a completely unguarded shot that was like a penalty, pushed from a very awkward angle, and hung straight into the top right corner of the goal.

The ball is in!

The 80,000-capacity Morumby Stadium is boiling instantly!

Sao Paulo fans shouted and roared with excitement. Since the regular season, their home team has been trampled under the DB and cannot turn over, which has caused them to accumulate depression throughout the season.

In their minds, it's not that Sao Paulo is not as good as DB, but the damn format determines that opponents in the same group can't compete directly, so the team has never had the opportunity to defeat the opponent one-on-one.

Now, at the end of the season, in the final game, São Paulo can finally give DB some color to see!

After conceding the goal, Gao Yuan was a little annoyed and roared loudly on the sidelines.

It's not that he can't accept conceding a goal, but he's a little angry that the team didn't organise the overall defence.

The reason for adopting a 3-5-2 formation is to take into account the opponent's sharp attack and worry that the defense line will be penetrated, so 3 central defenders are used.

Now the three central defenders are on the field, and it is true that Pato did not form a direct attack, but the back and two wing-backs did not recover the protection in time, and were exploited by the rest of the opponent.

The ball, the midfielders and the wing-backs all have an unshirkable responsibility.

However, in the two-legged format, conceding a goal away from home is not the end of the world, the key is to score a goal.

DB's strategy on the road is to defend and counterattack, and although there are holes in the defense, the counterattack is not bad.

According to the pre-match deployment, Gao Yuan focused his attack on the two wing-backs.

In this game, DB's two midfielders, Zhou Yong and Caen, are both defensive players, and the forward He Xiaoke is more like a finisher than a playmaker.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of connecting the front and back fields and delivering shells for the offensive line fell on the shoulders of Liao Lei and Shao Jie.

DB's counter-attacking principle in this game is to play "fast".

The general process is as follows: a midfielder or defender makes a tackle, then quickly hands it to two wing-backs, who quickly push the ball up front and then seek to link up with the front trident to complete the shot.

This minimalist attacking routine is very much in line with the concise and fast overall approach of modern football, and is in stark contrast to the cumbersome and slow attacking rhythm of São Paulo.

In the 32nd minute, Zhou Yong and Caen worked together to "close the door", steal the ball at the feet of the opponent's midfielder Neves, and then quickly split the sides, and the left wingback Shao Jie got the ball and strode forward.

Because it was the stage of switching from attack to defense, Sao Paulo's formation was a little scattered, and the defenders were reluctant to foul easily, so Shao Jie was able to advance a distance of about 30 meters.

Advance from your own backcourt to the opponent's frontcourt.

At this time, the opponent's right fullback Alves intercepted Shao Jie's body.

Facing the once best right wingback in the world, Shao Jie didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly passed the ball to He Xiaoke, who was receiving in the middle.

As soon as He Xiaoke got the ball, Hernanes posted it.

The salary of the "prophet" when he played in the Super League that year was 9 million euros, and He Xiaoke did not play in the Super League for a day. However, this does not affect He Xiaoke's fighting spirit and performance, as the "back wave", he has the consciousness of shooting the "front wave" to death on the beach.

He Xiaoke pulled the ball with a V-shaped ball on the bottom of his foot, avoided Hernanes, and after dodging the gap, he quickly stuffed the ball forward diagonally to Jola.

At this moment, the ball has come to the front of the big penalty area.

This is Chora's favorite area when he is good at dribbling.

He has plenty of options in this area, whether it's dribbling, pushing deep, finding a combination and even shooting straight at goal. It is really a wide sea with a fish jumping, and the sky is high for birds to fly.

I saw Jora's body swaying, and the plum blossoms under her feet were flickering among the defenders, and soon she was like a loach that came out of the cracks of several defenders.

The veteran Juan Fran saw that the situation was not good, and rushed over to help block it.

But after all, he is a 35-year-old veteran, and he is no longer the courage of Atletico Madrid's iron guard, and although he worked hard, he was a step slower after all, and after completing the breakthrough, Jora shot the ball straight into the net.

The ball is in!

The score was tied at 1:1.
