Chapter 413: Equalizer

The unexpected conceded goal did not disrupt Maritimo's attacking rhythm.

In fact, everyone predicted the difficulties of this game before the game.

Who is the opponent? That's Portuguese sport! One of the top three in the Portuguese Super League.

Not to mention that it is still on the opponent's home turf.

What if you are behind 0:1, it is already a surprise to completely take the initiative on the field.

Now keep the onslaught!

Sporting Portugal, which has taken the lead, further recycled the formation and took the initiative to give up possession. This is the smartest way to play when you are not physically fit and in poor condition.

Hoarding heavily at the back, minimising attrition as much as possible and looking for opportunities to counter-attack did give Sporting a respite.

However, the fans of the José Alvalad Stadium were not happy with the passive situation, with whistles and boos ringing from all corners of the stands.

The home coach Amorim's face didn't look good because he was ahead. Before, he thought that the unexpected goal would give his players a shot in the arm and discourage the opponent at the same time, but he didn't expect the opponent to be unmoved, and his own players were still half-dead ghosts.

"Damn, the FIFA virus seems to be very infectious this time!"

Fortunately, the first half was almost over. When it comes to halftime, I must be full of firepower, scolding, and wake up this group of guys!

In the following period, frequently raising his wrist to look at his watch became Amorim's signature move.

And the TV camera also noticed this, and from time to time gave the Portuguese young marshal a close-up of his watch.

So much so that the TV commentators joked: "Did Amorim just endorse the watch product?" Don't forget to advertise your watch during the competition! ”

Amorim is in such a hurry! The opponent's indiscriminate bombardment frequently threatened their own goal.

If it were Maritimo in the previous rounds, it would probably not be much to face the strict defense of opponents at the level of Sporting de Portugal, but now it is different, the team already has a battering ram in the team - Dzeko!

This is also Dzeko's first league game since joining Maritimo.

In the face of tough battles, Dzeko showed the qualities of a top-class high school striker.

Not only can you take the ball in the area, but you can also press the top when you cross from the side. When the opponent's backfield is down, he is also actively grabbing at the expense of physical strength, and even occasionally puts on a wonderful performance of taking the ball out of the goal.

It can be said that Dzeko's ability is top in the Portuguese Super League, and even in the face of opponents of the level of Sporting Portugal, he is still an inexplicable existence.

"Dzeko is 34 years old! It's only 1 year younger than me! Other Maritimo players are not afraid of the FIFA virus, why is this old guy also alive! Amorim cursed inwardly.

However, although Dzeko is fierce, he seems to have forgotten his door boots in Madeira. Under the entanglement of the Portuguese Sporting defenders, Dzeko's goal was always a little bit worse, either out of the goal, or too square, and the ball was confiscated by goalkeeper Maximino.

Finally, amid the boos of the home fans, Amorim waited in fear for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game when he went to work.

With a nonsensical own goal, in the first half, Sporting temporarily led Maritimo 1:0.

At half-time, in the home team's dressing room, the Amorim "hair dryer" was turned on to the maximum gear.

"Damn, you guys have no shame! What it was like to be crushed by the children of Maritimo on their home turf! I know you're tired, but isn't Maritimo tired? They have just finished participating in the national team training camp! I think you're a bunch of lazy people......"

For the entire 15 minutes, Amorim used almost all of his own players to spray his own players, and there was little adjustment in terms of tactics.

It's not that Amorim doesn't prioritize, but rather than technical and tactical skills, it's more important to motivate the players to be motivated and motivated.

Besides, there is nothing to adjust tactically, with the current physical and mental state of his players, it would be good to be able to hold on, and Amorim does not expect them to play any beautiful attacks.

In the same way, Amorim believes that the opponent has little room to adjust, and facing the bus, it is nothing more than smashing the ball inside.

That Chinese kid should be at a loss now!

The second half of the game begins.

Sporting Portugal still played in the first half, taking the initiative to give up possession, shrinking the backfield defense, and not giving the opponent room to attack.

But Maritimo's style of play seems to have changed slightly.

The team is no longer so quick to attack, but has a lot more possession in midfield.

"It seems that the other party's physical fitness has also reached a bottleneck, and the speed has slowed down! Hehe, looking at the momentum of the first half, I thought your physical strength was unlimited, but that's it! Amorim thought with some smugness.

What made him feel even more relieved was that he didn't spray in vain, and his players seemed to have mustered up some courage, and they began to run and fight actively.

If you continue to play like this, as you fall behind for a longer and longer time, the other party will definitely become more and more anxious! And their own team will become more and more handy and comfortable.

Amorim seems to have seen that the scales of victory are already tilting in his favor.

But he didn't expect that it was precisely because his players were active that a huge crisis was rapidly approaching.

In the 66th minute of the game, Maritimo's core player Wang Zi took the ball in the midfield, still unhurried and seemingly idle.

If it was in the first half, the Sporting Portugal players who were not actively running would not pounce, but would lazily stand in their positions and defend their defensive areas, and at most only one player would come up to disturb them.

But because they were scolded for 15 minutes at halftime, the Portuguese sports players who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood rushed towards Wang Zi very actively.

Wang Zi is also a master of the arts, in the face of the four players rushing from all directions, he was not in a hurry, pulled the ball at his feet and stepped on the ball, flashed and moved in the crowd, twisting and turning, the ball not only did not lose, but he found a vacancy, and suddenly stuffed the ball out of the pile.

Thanks to Sporting full-back Acuña and defender Eduardo. Da Silva was involved in the scramble, so there was an opening in the left rear of the defence!

After the ball was stuffed out, Jora, who was lying in ambush, understood it, rushed out, and caught up with the ball near the baseline.

Sporting's defenders were left far behind, and Chora even had time to stop the ball and watch calmly.

If you change to the former "Maverick" Jora, she will definitely rush to the district with the ball with her head. But now Jola has strengthened her overall situation and passing awareness a lot under Gao Yuan's tutelage, and has understood the importance of passing timing.

This time he made the right choice, only to see that after he raised his eyes to observe, he immediately got up and passed the ball to the back post.

Although there are many defenders in the area, Dzeko's ability is extraordinary, as conspicuous as a towering tree that suddenly grows out of a small bush.

Dzeko was caught between two defenders, plucked onions on dry land, jumped high and got to the ball first.

"Bang" rushed to the top, and the ball smashed into the opponent's goal.

The score was tied at 1:1!

Dzeko scored his first goal in the Portuguese Super League!

Amorim's face was extremely ugly, and when he saw this man, who was only one year younger than himself, galloping on the green field, his heart was very pantothenic.

Damn it! Is it that you retired too early? Or Zheko's body is too perverted! Why did he not receive the effects of the FIFA virus at all?

Amorim couldn't figure out the answer to that question, but he knew that after the equaliser, the next game would be even harder!
