In the game against Tondra, Gao Yuan fielded a pure substitute lineup.

Even Maritimo own fans are unfamiliar with these players, who are usually outside the 18-man squad.

The only one who can be familiar to everyone is the veteran Aduris.

The Spanish striker, who has been retired for half a year, but is still "old and ambitious", has gradually recovered to the level before retirement under Gao Yuan's tutelage.

He has made three appearances in all competitions this season, totalling 78 minutes and scored a goal.

One goal in 78 minutes is also amazingly efficient!

However, considering that he is over 40 years old, there are doubts about his form and ability to continue fighting.

But that's Maritimo's lineup, a veteran with a bunch of kids; A former European striker with a group of unknown substitutes.

The consensus prediction is for Maritimo to lose by at least two goals.

Tondela, who is fighting away, is also gearing up, sharpening his knife, preparing to take advantage of his illness to kill him and slaughter the new king of the Portuguese Super League.

On match days, there were a lot of banners and slogans in the stands at the Dos Barres Stadium.

In Chinese and Portuguese, it reads, "Love you when you win, love you when you lose", "If you win, you will be crazy together, and if you lose, you will carry it together", "No matter if you win or lose, we will always support you·····

These slogans are inexplicably tragic, and it seems that even Maritimo fans do not think that with such a lineup, they can win the game and begin to comfort their home team in advance.

But once the game started, Maritimo fans found that their team was not as bad as they thought.

Although they are all substitutes, these players are carefully selected, and they have experienced competitive elimination before remaining in the first team.

The fact that they can stay in the first team speaks volumes about their quality and potential.

Just like the little brother of the first team of the five major leagues, who went to the lower leagues, became a big brother who called for wind and rain in a blink of an eye, for example, Yan Linas, who could not play famous in Arsenal, changed his nationality and changed his Chinese name called "Li Ke", so that he could easily play the Chinese Super League and enter the national team.

Secondly, they are well-trained in technique and tactics.

Although they are substitutes, their daily training subjects and requirements are the same as those of the main team. The quality of training for the team is on full display. These substitute players played well, attacking and defending, and played in the same mold as the main players.

Of course, in terms of individual ability at this stage, they will definitely not be able to compare with the main players, and it can even be said that they are more than one level behind. But it's already a surprise to be able to play like this!

In the first 35 minutes, they resolutely played the opponent's counterattack according to the tactical arrangement of Gao Yuan, on the premise of solid defense. It had a very good effect, and several counter-attacks caused a lot of threat to the opponent's goal.

If the main players were there, those few chances would probably have been taken and they were already in the lead.

But there is no if in a football game, if the ball does not score, it is not scored, and the difference is one foot, one inch and one centimeter, and it is not considered a goal!

And on the green field, there is a rule, if you can't grasp the opportunity, you are likely to be punished by fate.

After 35 minutes of play, the players' concentration began to drop as their physical exertion increased. The originally tight and interlocking line of defense began to appear a little bit of a gap.

If it is the main player, they can use their super individual ability to make up for these small holes, but the strength and experience of the substitutes are still much worse.

These tiny cracks are always present in the backline and can cause catastrophe at any moment.

As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill.

Gao Yuan was keenly aware of these loopholes, and he also reminded his players loudly from the sidelines.

But after all, the ball is played by the players, and the coach can only play a supporting role, and the player's ability cannot be reached, and the coach is in vain no matter how anxious he is.

The game was about to come to an end in the first half.

Tondela suddenly had a surprise.

Tondela plays a long ball into the Maritimo box.

Maritimo's defender's header cleared the ball and the ball went right to the feet of the opposition Serbian foreign Mane just outside the box.

Mane is near the top of the arc of the penalty area, which is a very good position to open his bow and shoot straight at goal!

Maritimo's young backline panicked, forgetting the principles of defence in a fit of urgency, and rushed over to block Manne's shot, regardless of the overall position.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan chuckled in his heart, knowing that it was going to be bad!

He was about to shout a shoutout to the players, but as soon as he spoke, the cunning Mane was already shaking his ankle and passing the ball!

He made a very covert diagonal pass into the box, where Cape Verde striker Patrick was waiting, just offside!

Patrick catches, adjusts, hits!

This kind of close-range shot is really no reason for a Portuguese League scorer to shoot off.

Patrick's powerful performance was so great that the goalkeeper didn't have time to react at all, and the ball flew into the top corner of the goal!

0:1

Playing away from Tondera, they take the lead!

Narrator: "GOA~~~~~L!" Patrick! He helped Tondela score! Although we all knew before the game that Maritimo's full bench was not enough to deal with the Portuguese Super League, they stubbornly held on for most of the first half! It's a pity that a small defensive hole at the last moment ruined their previous efforts! ”

At the same time, Wen Jun, who had returned to China for vacation and was staying up late to watch the game, hammered the bed board hard.

This bunch of stupid people, how can this ball be so defended! Basic defensive principles!

On the other side of the world, Kusai was also watching the game, and he couldn't help but shake his head at this defense, if he was there, this ball would not be a threat at all! The substitutes are still inexperienced!

Antonio, who was on the bench, stood up and asked Takato, "BOSS, let me play!" Someone has to command the backline! ”

He is now a player and assistant coach, although he was also called up by the Portuguese national team this time, but Gao Yuan did not give him a holiday, but let him learn to coach the team.

He is also the only experienced player on the current Maritimo bench.

"No" Takato shook his head, "Antonio, you've already participated in several important matches before, and now you're physically tired and need to rest!" Besides, it's more important for the team that you watch from the sidelines and learn to direct the game. ”

"But what if the back line is messed up and the score is expanded again?" Antonio was a little anxious.

"It's okay, we won't lose!" Gao Yuan said confidently.

Shortly after conceding the goal, the first half was over.

As expected, Maritimo, who played purely as a substitute, fell behind; But unexpectedly, they behaved so tenaciously and played so well!
