Chapter 424: The Last Moment

Commentator Giorgio Ricardo said excitedly: "At the Stadium of Light, to be able to force the giants Benfica to use the tactics of five defenders, in a sense, Maritimo has won!" ”

However, for Gao Yuan, he doesn't want to just win in a sense, he wants to really win!

Time is running out of game, so keep attacking!

Practice has proved that the tactic of "feints on the wingers and combines the side and the middle" is effective, so this tactic is resolutely implemented at the last moment!

Feed the ball to wing-back Danso, who runs through the wing. But he found that Benfica's defensive space had become smaller.

Benfica not only changed the formation to a back five, but even the overall formation was compressed back.

On Danso's path, there are still three defenders, Tavares, who has been abused for most of the half, Almeida, who has been newly introduced, and Pizzi, who has retreated very deeply!

Yes, even the mid-length core Pizzy was taken back and did the dirty work of defense.

The front was blocked, and Danso had to pass the ball to the middle and hand it to Wang Zi's feet.

But Wang Zi didn't have a good line to play this time.

The opponent's backline is now full of people, some are pressing, some are retreating, some are following people, some are defending in the area, and there is no room left.

Benfica are a well-trained Champions League powerhouse, not only strong in attack, but also well-organized defensively.

Fortunately, Wang Zi's feet are very neat, the ball is pulled back and forth between his feet, so that the opponent can't figure out the line of the ball, and he doesn't dare to rush up to grab it, he looks up to observe the position of his teammates while holding the ball.

When he habitually went to find Pan Xinyue's location, he found that Pan Xinyue was entangled by the opponent's back, Frank Saiwei.

Obviously, after conceding the ball just now, Benfica coach Giorgio Jesus gave a death order, and he must keep an eye on this coquettish Chinese every step of the way, as long as the referee does not blow the whistle, even if he goes to the toilet, he has to squeeze in a squat pit with him!

This Serbian veteran has far from being comparable to Pan Xinyue's previous opponents. Pan Xinyue is a ballless player, and now she is entangled by a strong opponent, and she will not be able to get rid of it at all for a while.

There was no way, Wang Zi could only pass the ball back and reorganize the attack.

In this way, the cycle was repeated several times, and the ball could not penetrate at all, and the old path of "back - left side - middle side / right side - back pass back side - left side ——......" could only be repeated again and again.

As the minutes ticked by, Maritimo seemed to be in possession but couldn't make a threatening shot. And Benfica also cowered in their own half and couldn't get out.

The situation on the field was at a stalemate.

The cameras on the field keenly captured an interesting shot of Takato and George Jesus looking anxiously at their watches at the same time, while the time on the electronic scoreboard in the background was 82 minutes.

Time is running out for the people of Maritimo.

Gao Yuan decided to take a gamble and make one last substitution.

Pan Xinyue replaced him with a sweeping midfielder, Jean Cleber.

Giorgio Ricardo in the studio exclaimed: "In the last moments of the game, Maritimo's Chinese head coach Gao Yuan once again made an incredible adjustment. He replaced a striker with a defensive midfielder! Isn't he ready to win? ”

Nuno Gomez calmly analyzed: "There should be other adjustments, let us take a closer look, Mr. Gao Yuan's strange moves in this game are stacked, I believe this time there is also a deep meaning." ”

Sure enough, everyone quickly found out the clue, with the emergence of a new defensive midfielder, Joao in the original midfield position, pushed to the front line, and Dzeko formed a double center forward.

"It turns out that Gao Yuan used Joao as Fellaini!" George Ricardo exclaimed.

'Joao has played as a centre-forward before and it worked well, he has the height, he has the strength and he can compete for headers. At the last moment, I must have smashed the ball straight inside! Nuno Gómez noted.

Indeed, the best and last resort to break down a dense defense is to smash it with a header.

Gao Yuan formed the twin towers on the front line, but the key to whether he could head the ball was not in the twin towers, but whether the shells could be delivered in.

The burden of transporting the shells still rests with the wingback Danso.

Danso burst on the side, crossed the ball, the quality of the ball was good, the twin towers in the middle of the penalty area were outflanked, and he was about to top the ball, but Diaz was the first to clear the ball.

"It's a little bit off!" George Ricardo exclaimed.

"Stick it up, prevent it!" George Jesus yells at the team.

Sure enough, when Danso got the ball again, Tavares played with his life and stuck in front of Danso, not giving her a chance to cross with his feet.

Danso could only make a feint of crossing, and then rushed forward, relying on super explosive power, shook off Tavares, and was about to cross again, but found that Almeida was blocking the cross line again, and had no choice but to rush forward.

When I got rid of those two nasty guys, I found that I had come to the bottom line, and if I didn't pass again, I would go out of bounds, and the third defender also came up and could only pass hard.

But the cross certainly didn't work well, as the ball grazed the third defender and changed the line and didn't pose a threat.

"It seems that Maritimo's wings were strangled to death," Nuno Gómez judged.

As the minutes ticked by, Maritimo frantically tried to make a fuss on the wing, but under the strict defense of the opponent, he repeatedly hit a wall.

It didn't take long for stoppage time.

Just hold on for three more minutes and Benfica will win.

Although the scene was very passive and the play was extremely difficult, a win is a win.

The stands at the Stadium of Light boiled like boiling water in a pot. Fans on both sides were anxiously cheering and cheering. Even more anxious than Maritimo and Benfica fans are the Sporting de Portugal fans, who dare not imagine how Benfica will scream in front of them after they win.

Maritimo attacked from the wing again.

In line with the concept of "perfection is perfection", Maritimo was determined to take the wing-back's attack to the extreme, and now he has made no secret of it, which is to blatantly hand the ball to Danso.

Danso dribbled with the ball, crossed his left and right feet in the middle of the march, passed Pizzi, who was not very strong in defense, and dribbled into the opponent's half.

But the ironclad line of Tavares, Almeida, Ruben Diaz and others awaited him like an open pocket.

There was no time, Dan Suo gritted his teeth, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and preferred to go to Tiger Mountain.

Danso, who rushed into the opposition's encirclement, dodged around the defenders, but did not lose the ball, but there was no chance to cross with his feet.

Suddenly, Danso saw an opening in the gap and passed the ball to the feet of Wang Zi in the middle.

It's a combination of sides and sides again!

It's just that Benfica was also prepared, and several players quickly surrounded Wang Zi.

The best option is to pass back, but that means that the attack is in vain.

"Do it yourself!"

Wang Zi, who hesitated slightly, seemed to hear the shouts from the sidelines. He couldn't figure out if it was his hallucination, because under normal circumstances, in such a noisy environment, it would be impossible to hear the coach's shouts from such a distance.

But Wang Zi no longer hesitated, he decided to give it a try.

He leaned slightly to the side, made a feint of passing the ball backwards, and quickly dribbled forward when the opponent was a little relaxed.

This time he was as quiet as a rabbit, and suddenly he started as fast as lightning, swept past the bag of the two players, and met the third defender head-on, Wang Zi had long legs in the depths, pulled and turned under his feet, and his body rotated 360 degrees, which was a Marseille maneuver!

There is a successful pass!

Wang Ziping, who had connected the three of them, tore a gap in the other party's net.

He's in front of the penalty area and can kick the goal.

But Wang Zi was advancing at high speed, but he had been observing the situation on the field with the corner of his eye, but he saw that there were players coming towards him from all directions, and there was a chance that his direct shot would be blocked.

Wang Zina's brain when he was admitted to Tsinghua University worked as fast as a precision computer, and he made the best choice and passed the ball to the left front.

Before passing the ball, he didn't have time to observe the situation on the left flank, just made a judgment based on his feelings.

Pass the ball yourself, and the rest is up to Danso! He's in great shape and he'll be able to catch up!

Sure enough, Dan Suo understood and rushed out of the encirclement like a bolt of lightning.

This time, by surprise, he shook off all the defenders around him and got the chance to cross calmly.

Watch, kick, cross!

The ball arced like a rainbow and flew straight to the middle of the penalty area.

Dzeko and Joao, two big men, rushed desperately towards the landing point.

Double ghost knock on the door!

It's Dzeko who grabbed the point again, dive bombing!

A powerful header flew into the corner of the goal!

2:2, the score was equalized at the last moment!

At the moment of the goal, in the stands, the expeditionary force of Maritimo and the cheering phalanx of Sporting de Portugal erupted in thunderous cheers.

The majority of Benfica fans, who occupy the Stadium of Light, were silent.

Sanchez, the veteran coach of the Portuguese national team in the VIP box of the Stadium of Light, instructed his assistant next to him: "The next national team training camp, recruit Danso in!" Portugal has a new engine again! ”
