Chapter 442: Bright Hole Cards
Unsurprisingly, Porto's attacking focus was still on the wings.
After Luis Diaz's appearance, the attack on the left flank was clearly strengthened.
Boxer Porto's left hand, which was discarded in the first half, can hit a heavy punch again after halftime healing!
I don't know if Conceição recognized Antonio as Maritimo's weakness, or because he didn't penetrate this side in the first half and was a little faceless, in short, he attacked this side in the second half.
Luis Diaz is really powerful, he has some similar characteristics to Telles, they are both extremely capable individuals and can pass on the ability to sudge, the two of you rush to me, you break through me. Partnering together has the effect of 1+1>2.
Coupled with the fact that Shoya Nakajima, who has a strong passing ability, intends to lean over this side and thread the needle for the two of them, the attack power of this combat group has increased geometrically.
In mind, if it were Antonio himself, it would have been difficult to defend either of them, but now he commanded a defensive team.
He is like a general who is in the middle of the dispatch and strategizing, using his years of experience in the battlefield and his ability to read and analyze the game, directing his teammates to either press forward, or retreat, or assist in defense, and weave an invisible and indestructible net on the green field.
In the 48th minute, Porto attacked.
Telles was like a wild donkey in heat, running with the ball all the way, sprinting for a full 30 meters, or under the joint efforts of Wang Zi and Zhou Yong, he had to pass the ball to Shoya Nakajima, who received in the middle.
Shoya Nakajima played the delicate characteristics of the Japanese player's feet, and after getting the ball, he was not in a hurry, and took the ball in a circle, avoiding Joao's close defense.
There was a glaring gap on the right flank, with Mossa Marega already cutting in at the flank.
But instead of passing to that side, Shoya Nakajima shook his ankle and passed the ball to the left front.
Diaz catches the ball and continues to push forward.
There was a sigh of disappointment in the stands, lamenting Shoya Nakajima's wrong choice of attack.
But Gao Yuan looked dumbfounded. He was sure that Shoya Nakajima had observed Marega's movement and knew that it would be more dangerous to play there, but he insisted on passing to the left, because coach Conceição must have told him at half-time to focus on the left wing in the second half.
Gao Yuan didn't know whether to scold the Japanese shaft, or praise them for their strong execution.
But it is this kind of execution that can be called an "axis" that has made Japan's football level grow by leaps and bounds and stand tall among the world's football powers!
Just when Gao Yuan was slightly distracted, Diaz on the field had already dribbled the ball into the danger zone 30 meters from the goal.
He has plenty of options here, whether it's going to keep rushing forward and making a low cross, or he can cut inside and shoot straight at goal.
Fortunately, Antonio did not panic and wrapped around Diaz's side while directing his teammates to defend.
Although Antonio struggled to break the ball himself, he was constantly harassing Diaz. He couldn't look up and observe the situation on the field, and he could only make judgments based on his feelings.
Diaz knew that centre-back Qusay had moved in front of him and that it would be difficult to move forward, so he took a cross-step and flicked the ball towards the middle with the outside of his instep to get to the middle.
But as soon as the ball was flicked out, a black shadow popped out behind him and snatched the ball.
The person who broke the ball was Zhou Yong, and after he broke the ball, he immediately handed it over to Joao in the middle, and then gritted his teeth and smiled at Antonio:
"Big brother, you are really right, he is really going to the inside line!"
"Less nonsense, go on the offensive!" Antonio has a flat face, and he is not useful for the sycophants of the orangutans.
It turned out that in the defense just now, Antonio tried to steal while instructing his teammates to keep an eye on the middle with his hands, and he had already predicted Diaz's intentions.
A few minutes later, Porto made a comeback.
It was the double impact of Diaz and Telles again, Telles took the ball past Wang Zi, attracted Zhou Yong's supplementary defense, and quickly passed to Diaz on the side, Diaz continued to attack, and shook Antonio in the run, but was stopped by Cussey who was supplementing the defense.
couldn't get rid of it quickly, and Antonio came over to help defend it, so he could only pass the ball back to Telles, but Telles was harassed by Wang Zi by his side, just when Telles finally got stuck in his position, and when the ball reached his feet, Zhou Yong took the first step to kill and cut the ball away.
This time, the four-man defensive team, using the two-two combined defense, once again blocked Porto's left flank assault.
In the following games, Porto still used the individual ability of the left side to attack frequently. Telles and Diaz can use their individual ability to get past one or two defenders, and they can also rely on small groups to get to dangerous areas, but the final shot and pass are always interfered with by Maritimo's defensive team.
In particular, Antonio commanded Ruoding, deployed in the center of the defensive line, and played the role of the anchor of the sea.
The general's decisive victory lies not only on the battlefield, but also in the single-mindedness of strategizing and commanding and dispatching.
Maritimo also used constant counter-attacks to put pressure on the opponent's defence.
Compared with Porto, which is stubbornly playing on the wing, Maritimo's attack is more three-dimensional and more abundant, with high balls, low flat balls, long pass transfers, short pass penetration, and various offensive methods bloom more.
But there is also a Needle in the Porto formation. Veteran Pepe inspires his teammates with his fierce defense and exaggerated body movements.
Antonio and Pepe proved with practical actions that "a family is like a treasure", and it also proved MacArthur's famous saying "a veteran never dies"!
That lasted for the first 25 minutes of the second half.
Unconsciously, the game time has come to 70 minutes, and the score is still 0:0, but the scene is diametrically opposed to the score.
Just as the two boxers have reached a white-hot stage, the red-eyed two don't want to beat each other by points, but will not stop until they really knock out their opponents.
I just want to kill each other, or be by them!
At this moment, Gao Yuan really admired his opponent: it is worthy of being the strongest team in the Portuguese Super League, and at this juncture, it can still fight with 6 of his own teams without winning or losing! What a fierce opponent like never before!
However, I still have a backhand!
If at the beginning of the second half, Conceição replaced Diaz and was the first to show his hole cards, Gao Yuan was much more patient than him, and he has endured the killing move until now.
At this time, the time has come, and Gao Yuan finally made a move.
Substitution!
Although Gao Yuan didn't use reputation to improve the player's ability or buy those strange goods, the fruit and Gatorade obtained from the system were still open to the players, so the player's physical fitness was not a problem at all.
Then the current substitution is Gao Yuan's active tactical adjustment!
Jola came on and replaced Vukovic, who was doing well.
Just when everyone was speculating whether Gao Yuan would use Jola to play the front midfield, or transfer Wang Zi to a familiar position after Vukovic left the field.
Gao Yuan gave everyone a big surprise.
From the formation position, you can clearly see that Gao Yuan has changed the formation!
He put on a strange formation that everyone had never seen before!
