Chapter 447: The Second Half of the League
At Mendes' reception, Gao Yuan met a group of European football bigwigs.
Now he is not an unknown person, and many European football people take the initiative to talk to him and say hello.
There are also managers of several European giants who have sent business cards, hoping that Gao Yuan will consider coaching with them.
And what made Gao Yuan happiest was that Ronaldo actually told him:
"I've been following the team from my hometown and I really appreciate your tactical style of play and the results you have achieved, and I hope that one day, we can work together."
The recognition from the Portuguese football king made Gao Yuan's heart surging.
It turns out that I have reached this height?!
But that's not enough! Ronaldo just said that he wanted to cooperate with himself, I want to continue to work hard, and one day, let Ronaldo see himself, and he excitedly said that he would play under his command!
However, considering Ronaldo's age, I have to hurry up! Remember [Seven or Eight Chinese Network щщщ.78zщ.coм] in one second to read for free without pop-ups!
During the winter break of the Portuguese Super League, Gao Yuan took time to go to Germany and spent a few days with Xiaoxia in a two-person world without shame.
Then I flew to Portugal, transferred to two regions, selected a few good seedlings, and the negotiation team of Yuanshuai Company followed up and negotiated.
The team regrouped and trained for the second half of the league.
Due to the penalties imposed on the inability to register player transfers, only a few players from the first team and the reserve team were adjusted in the second registration after the opening of the league's winter window. The high-potential demons signed by Gao Yuan's "Travel to the Four Directions" still failed to sign up, and could only wait for the summer transfer window to open half a year later.
Therefore, the most attractive change in Maritimo in the second registration list of the Portuguese Super League this season is that the identity of Antonio, the "soul of the team", has changed from "captain" to "captain and coach".
Gao Yuan is also deliberately cultivating Antonio in the subsequent training and games, as long as he is not on the court, he will answer his questions and guide him hand in hand in combination with the game scene.
Just like Li Xiaopeng did to him back then.
In the following days, Maritimo was as Gao Yuan expected, with the deepening of the league, the ability of the players became more and more sophisticated, the cooperation became more and more tacit, the implementation of Gao Yuan's tactical concept became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the team's combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.
If there are still some more or less problems in the first half of the game, then after more than half a year of running-in, the team's problems have been gradually overcome and solved, and it is completely leading the league standings with crushing funds.
In addition, the "top three of the Portuguese Super League" behind him have encountered various problems because they have to be distracted by the events in the European arena and the new players who need to run in the winter window, and they have been thrown further and further away in the standings by Maritimo, who has a full lineup.
Maritimo's odds to win the championship have risen from the bottom to the front, with 1.9 to 1!
Such odds indicate that the bookmaker is very optimistic about Maritimo, and in the eyes of international traders, Maritimo is very champion!
And Gao Yuan's prestige value is also accumulating more and more in the continuous winning, optimistic estimates, if you can win the championship this season, then with various bonuses, you will definitely be able to buy Gao Yuan's long-favorite "nuclear weapon modifier"!
The only thing that can still pose a threat to Maritimo is the "top three of the Portuguese Super League", in order to maintain the dignity of the old powerhouse, the three teams have worked hard to block Maritimo's progress.
Among them, the most disgruntled is Ruben Amorim, the coach of Sporting Portugal.
Although the young marshal has a poor record, currently only ranked fifth in the standings, and even overtaken by Braga, his own position is in turmoil, but he has always been obsessed with Maritimo.
He was a little disdainful of the achievements of Gao Yuan, who was also a young marshal. Think he's just lucky. In the early stage, other teams did not pay attention to Maritimo and were exploited by them, and in the later stage, it was because they did not have to be distracted by European competitions and could concentrate on playing in the league.
Although Sporting de Portugal have also been eliminated in the Europa League, this does not affect Ruben Amorim in the slightest to feel that he has been taken advantage of by Maritimo.
Especially the defeat in the last meeting made the Portuguese young marshal even more angry.
Although the game ended with a 3-1 defeat, Ruben Amorim believed that he had lost to the FIFA virus, rather than being beaten by his opponent.
As he said in his post-match press conference: "I don't think my team is inferior to Maritimo, it's just that we're more affected by the FIFA virus!" I'm looking forward to my next fight with Maritimo! I'll show them what I'm really capable of! ”
Now, the opportunity for revenge is in front of him.
In order to fight the battle of revenge, he even strategically gave up the Portuguese Cup before the game, and was eliminated by Guimaraes, who was not strong.
Burdened with the infamy of being shouted "out of class" by the fans, he also has to play well against Maritimo.
This time he fielded the strongest squad at the Dos Barores Stadium, and the players' form was also maintained well under his deliberate adjustments.
"This time there is no FIFA virus, I want to show you the true strength of Portuguese sport!" Ruben Amorim gritted his teeth.
The game begins.
Ruben Amorim's tactic was to grab the start.
He fully learned the lesson of the first game, when his team was unable to get into the groove due to the FIFA virus, and was dominated by Maritimo, and the whole game did not slow down.
The Sporting players faithfully executed the manager's tactics.
As soon as the ball kicked off, the attacking players rushed towards Maritimo's backline like wolves.
The ball didn't even go back, it went forward.
Winger Rafael drove the ball forward, and the momentum was like a tiger. Rushed for a full 30 meters, and then ...... There is no then.
Raphael didn't notice that he was at a dead end.
By the time he was aware, the ball had been broken by Joao and Danso.
Sporting de Portugal, which was pressing forward with all its might, instantly switched from attack to defense.
"Stop him! Be domineering! Momentum matters! Ruben Amorim roared from the sidelines.
His players had already received instructions before the game, and they must have momentum in the opening stage, even if it is a foul, as long as they show a tough attitude, they will be meritorious!
The defenders are gearing up, waiting for the opponent to come up with the ball, and then give the opponent some color to see.
But unexpectedly, Danso broke the ball and passed it to Joao, who in turn passed it to Zhou Yong, and the ball hit Fonseca on the right side, transitioning from left to right.
Then Fonseca passed to Jora, who in turn passed to Zhou Yong, who in turn handed it to Joao, who in turn passed it to Liu Yun, who cut in forward, and the ball was played back to the left.
Liu Yun did not break through, and passed to Wang Zi in the middle of the road......
In this way, the ball went from left to right and from right to left, and almost everyone in Maritimo touched the ball, but not one of them stuck to it.
The ball swirled around at the feet of different players, not staying at all, as if it were a smooth piece of music, and everyone was a throbbing note in it, just so soothingly, unconsciously pouring the ball into the front court.
This wave of passes lasted two or three minutes, and the Porto players didn't know who to turn to if they wanted to foul.
Ruben Amorim is just as confused as his players: "Isn't Maritimo used to counter-attacking quickly? Why is it that now that I have changed sex, I have also started to pass and control, and the transmission is so smooth! ”
Just when the Portuguese Sporting team was unclear, the ball had unconsciously developed to the front of the opponent's big penalty area.
Without warning, Maritimo suddenly exerted his strength!
The ball came to the feet of Vukovic. Vukovic made a feint to continue passing, but suddenly strode towards the penalty area.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Sporting was not prepared and was deducted by Vukovic with his left foot and another with his right foot.
After that, Vukovic hit the goal!
