Chapter 400: Responsive Center
The responsive center forward is a type of striker that came into being in line with the development trend of modern football.
With the development of modern football to this day, the optimization and updating of defensive tactics and the vigorous development of defensive concepts have made the living environment of forwards more and more difficult, and it is more and more difficult to open up the situation with one stroke.
The team attribute of football determines that scoring goals is not a matter for the striker alone, and the center forward who conforms to the times is naturally born.
For the playful centre-forwards, scoring goals is no longer the focus, their priority is to help the team open up the situation, and in a way, they are the team's "playmaker" type of character up front.
The representative figure is the famous Heskey, and Chelsea's big Olivier Giroud can also be regarded as a playmaker centre-forward.
Lofty can improve Joao's ability, but his style of play and habitual choices are not easy to change.
What Gao Yuan has to do now is to take advantage of the situation and maximize Joao's role as a central striker.
On the one hand, letting other players get closer to him can better play his fulcrum role; On the other hand, at this time in the game, the opponent's physical strength has been consumed, and his attention has begun to decline, so that Pan Xinyue, the "space reader", can play at this time, which can better play Pan Xinyue's characteristics of being good at interspersing and running.
In other words, Gao Yuan's tactics at this time are very clear, the strategic center Joao plays support, the running striker Pan Xinyue moves coquettishly, and the others help to fight and kill monsters.
As soon as Pan Xinyue appeared, she created a killing machine.
Joao took up his position in the middle and used his strong body to protect the ball and attract the attention of several defenders.
He protects the ball and watches his teammates' movements. Suddenly, he squeezed the ball out of the way with his body and went out to the side.
The ball was passed very badly, just past the dragging centre-backs and hit behind the backline.
Pan Xinyue ran more thief, and at the moment when the ball was passed, she inserted it behind the guard line, and did not bring much, and directly kicked the goal.
This pass ran and shot, happening between lightning and fire, as fast as thunder, as fast as lightning, and everyone was stunned for a while, so that the defenders forgot to rush up to block it.
The goalkeeper's save was too late, and everyone watched as the ball rolled towards the goal.
The ball rolls on the turf, but it seems to roll on the tip of everyone's heart, and everyone's heart is thumping as the ball rolls.
Eventually, the ball grazed the post and rolled off the baseline.
"Ah~" The home crowd at Besa Stadium breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas~" The Malimo all let out a sigh.
Boavista coach Vidigal wiped a cold sweat after the disaster, as an experienced coach, he was keenly aware of the wonderful "chemistry" between the new Chinese boy and Joao who played as a center forward.
"Keep an eye on these two guys!" Vidigal roared.
Time is running out for the game, as long as you hold on, you can get a valuable point!
However, Vidigal soon found that it was becoming more difficult to defend.
The opponent's formation was adjusted, and Wang Zi and Pan Xinyue, who were on the two wings, approached the middle. It is said that there are three central midfielders on the left, center and right, but in fact, it is more like three forward midfielders.
They orbit João like satellites, and they are becoming more and more connected to each other.
Boavista can focus on one or two of them, but after the opponent's frontcourt quartet is linked into a close whole, it is difficult to defend, and it can't be all four around them with heavy guards.
And Maritimo's front four are very cunning, and they will work together in a transitional, roundabout way, which adds more difficulty to the defence.
With the cooperation of the front four, Maritimo's attack became more and more fierce, and Vidigal's face became more and more ugly.
The team that suppresses the opponent throughout the game is not necessarily a strong team, because they lack a change in rhythm, and the opponent only needs to defend it tightly, and it may be able to withstand it;
The real strong team is manifested in the change of rhythm, like the waves of the sea, layer after layer, overwhelming and endless. And the offensive rhythm of being fast and slow, tight and loose, makes the opponent more unguardable. Whole network.
There is no doubt that Maritimo are a strong team, not only do they change their tempo, but they also get stronger and tougher as the game progresses.
"Damn, when did Maritimo get so strong!" Vidigal cursed.
In the 81st minute, Maritimo's increasingly fluid attack finally paid off.
Once again, the playful center played the role of a fulcrum.
Maritimo made a long pass from the back, and Joao relied on his outstanding positioning ability to stop the ball on his chest at the edge of the penalty area and hold the ball with his strong body on his back.
At this time, Boavista's defenders all knew about Pan Xinyue's threat, so they focused on Joao who was holding the ball and Pan Xinyue who was wandering.
But unexpectedly, Joao played the ball back to Vukovic, who responded.
Vukovic fronted the goal, although a little far from the goal, but his feet were hard and counted in his range.
Vukovic was about to fight, and the Boavista players knew that it was powerful, and rushed forward to block it.
I don't know if Gao Yuan's reminder at halftime played a role, Vukovic did not shoot hard, but took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to Wang Zi next to him.
Wang Zi's ability should not be underestimated, and the defenders hurriedly rushed over to grab him.
Boavista's defence has been mobilized into disarray.
Wang Zi did not stop the ball, but directly used the outside instep to smooth the ball, and the ball flew forward over the defender's head.
On the other side, Pan Xinyue, who was temporarily forgotten because of chaos, suddenly killed.
Broken!
Boavista's people were shocked, and they were beaten again!
The Boavista goalkeeper did not hesitate this time, and attacked the ball directly, this time it was a pick-up pass, not far from himself, and it was very difficult to stop the ball, and he bet that Pan Xinyue might not be able to stop the ball first.
As long as it stops a little bit, the ball is its own!
However, just when he was about to get to the ball, Pan Xinyue made an unexpected choice.
He didn't wait for the ball to fall, but headed it straight into the air towards the goal.
Straight to the door! You don't have to stop the ball, so there's no problem of bad stopping.
The goalkeeper didn't have time to turn around to chase after him, and could only watch as the ball flew into the handleless goal.
0:1
After 80 minutes of fierce battle, Maritimo finally broke the deadlock.
Under the guidance of Joao's central striker, Maritimo played a fluent front four, mobilized the opponent's defence, and finally completed the fatal blow.
The ball was like a basin of cold water, poured on Boavista's head, like a deflated ball, and the momentum was severely hit.
And their head coach Vidigal was extremely excited, watching the boiled duck fly, and the 1 point to his mouth was about to be lost, who could stand it.
Vidigal roared loudly on the sidelines, scolding the players for a bloody scolding, and his body language was also extremely rich, with various gestures and sign language like the seal in Naruto.
Under the coach's drive, Maritimo, who had been defending almost the entire game, finally began to press the attack.
Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan sneered: It seems that the score of this ball is more than 1-0!
The number of defenders at the back has been reduced due to heavy pressing, and striker Joao has been given more space to manoeuvre.
The space is bigger, and the more options he has.
In the 87th minute, Maritimo played a quick counterattack again, and three passes and two passes reached the feet of Joao.
This time, the playmaker had only one defender on his side.
Just when everyone thought he would return the ball to his teammates again, he suddenly changed direction with a heel knock, followed by a half-turn, and passed the defender!
This time again, it was beyond everyone's expectations, doesn't this kid like to pass the ball back? Why did you suddenly change sex?!
No one has stipulated that the strategic center can't solve the problem by himself!
Although the defender who was passed by him was surprised, he was not flustered, he knew that although this kid had good skills at his feet, his speed was slow and his explosiveness was average.
Now there are still more than 30 meters away from the goal, and I can catch up.
However, Joao surprised again, after completing the pass, he did not rush forward with the ball, but took two steps forward, leaving enough running distance, opened his bow and arrow, and shot with his feet!
The ball roared like a heavy cannon into the corner of the goal, and although the goalkeeper tried to save sideways, it was still a step too late, and the ball went straight into the net without a trace of spinning!
According to post-race measurements, the heavy gun reached a speed of 145 km/h!
The moment the goal was broken again at the Besa Stadium, it was strangely quiet for a moment, no one expected that in the face of a single knife, he actually hit a long shot, and he played so beautifully!
Only Gao Yuan smiled proudly: Don't forget, although Joao has been transformed into a striker, his template is Ballack!
Barak's heavy artillery is back in the rivers and lakes! Also completely killed the game.
In the end, Maritimo defeated Boavista with two goals and won three consecutive victories!
