Some players usually look good and all kinds of statistics are gorgeous, but once they face stronger opponents, the whole person will lose their fighting spirit.

And some players, the more they face a strong opponent, the higher their fighting spirit will be!

Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly the latter.

As Sporting Lisbon found their vaunted defence vulnerable to Messi, the atmosphere in the team became a bit sluggish, but Ronaldo continued to retreat to the flanks to hold the ball, attacking Barcelona's flanks again and again.

At first, he still wanted to use his speed and body to eat.

Chen Mo was not afraid at all in this regard, but gradually, he found that Ronaldo's running rhythm and cadence under his feet began to change a little bit, no longer a slam, but a very rhythmic emergency stop start, start an emergency stop!

The purposeful steps of Chen Mo made Chen Mo very uncomfortable this time.

"He's breaking down my cadence?!"

With a two-man horse race on the side, seizing the opportunity to shovel Ronaldo's foot ball out of the sideline with a sliding tackle, Chen Mo got up and patted the dirt on his buttocks, looking at Ronaldo who was complaining to the referee, he began to pay attention to it in his heart.

Just like when someone is in military training, it is a crutch that will make the instructor dizzy, habits are something that is very difficult to change, and it is something that accumulates imperceptibly over time.

And the last opponent in his impression who could constantly adjust his behavior habits according to the opponent's movements in the game was Kaka!

Gradually, Chen Mo's defensive pressure began to become heavier and heavier, at first he could go to the midfield to help organize the ball and occasionally step forward, but as Ronaldo continued to change like a chameleon, he began to be unable to take care of it, and even Sporting Lisbon's forward position gradually became active.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked back at Pique, beckoned, and motioned for him to go to the top.

"Oh, after Pique communicated with Chen Mo, his position moved up to near the Lisbon midfielder, and his move should be to cut off the connection between the Sporting Lisbon midfielder and the two wings. It seems that Chen Mo felt a lot of pressure on the side and needed him to go up to help defend. ”

"That's right, Cristiano's impact is very strong, although he has not broken through Chen Mo's defense to cause damage so far, but the purpose of this tactic has been achieved, that is, Chen Mo must focus on the side of the defense."

"That's right. But the core reason for this change of formation is actually not much different from Chen Mo. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

'Cristiano is on the wing, he should be left wing-back, that is, left midfielder and left wing-back. That is to say, his position was not Chen Mo's first defensive priority. You must know that the football field is very wide, don't look at the strong running of many players, covering a large area, but there are no players who can defend the middle and the side at the same time, people are not stupid, you defend two roads by yourself, you have to be dumbfounded when you pass the ball casually, in the game we played when we were children, it is called [plate spoon].

When we talk about a large coverage area, we actually refer to the role of sweeping and co-defense, that is, the defensive player who is in the opposite position does a good job of defense, and then let the player with a large coverage area be responsible for assisting the defense. Just like Chen Mo here, his main task is actually to defend the Lisbon forward midfield, while intercepting Cristiano's passing route and blocking the inward space and fighting for a half-goal, but Barcelona's entire left side defense is weak, whether it is left fullback Dalyan or left midfielder Fabregas, they are all offensive and weak types, and there is no way to defend Cristiano alone, which causes Chen Mo to be exhausted. ”

"That's right, football is a whole thing, and it affects the whole body. The previous games have proved that Lisbon's offensive firepower is not strong, the main reason is that their forward ability is not good, he has a stronger individual ability, forming a threat in the middle, attracting defense, and two wings can be liberated, but unfortunately, the improvement of the player's ability can not be completed in one game or two. ”

The commentary is so rambling that the players on the field who are trying to run hard can't hear it.

Fierce confrontation can make the spirit more focused, and as time passes by the first time, Ronaldo kicks more and more courageously.

He kept retreating to take the ball and attack the side, but unfortunately, as Pique went up to cut off the Lisbon midfield, Chen Mo completely put the defensive focus on the side, he could not effectively get rid of it, and this lone wolf style of play was difficult to boost the morale of his teammates.

In the forty-third minute of the game, Barcelona scored another goal.

Messi won the ball on the right flank, easily passed the defender one-on-one and then chose to cut inside, attracted three defenders on the right side of the arc and plugged it straight through from a tight angle, the ball passed under the crotch of the Sporting Lisbon centre-back, and the forward Cesc Fabregas slapped the horse to the goalkeeper and finally pushed the far corner to score.

"Goal! Another goal! Forty-third minute of the game! Barcelona scored another goal to overtake the score! The goal was scored by Barça's No. 8 - Cesc Fabregas! This kick he pushed very calmly and directly, without giving the goalkeeper a chance! ”

"Eh, Sporting Lisbon is difficult, their proud right side blast was completely cut off by Chen Mo, and the frontal defense can't withstand Barcelona's offensive firepower."

Towards the end of the first half, Barcelona scored another goal, and Ronaldo completely exploded emotionally, his arms and five fingers were tensed, his hips were topped, and he opened his mouth and roared loudly at his teammates.

The words are not good, it can be seen that the emotions are already very tense, Chen Mo doesn't like to make trouble, and he didn't stimulate him further, but there is a different player in Barcelona, Pique, who ran forward from the backfield and was about to celebrate, passed by Ronaldo's side and smiled and said "yes".

This time directly made Ronaldo angry to the point of exploding, and rushed up to fight with Pique.

The situation on the field changed abruptly, a group of people were still celebrating in the frontcourt, Pique and Ronaldo in the back court went head-to-head, and the Sporting Lisbon bench immediately rushed onto the field and surrounded Pique!

"What do you want to do?!"

"Looking for death?!"

Chen Mo, who was halfway through the run, immediately rushed into the crowd when he saw this, Pique was carrying a yellow card, he knew that he couldn't make trouble at this time, and immediately separated Pique from the crowd. At the same time, the referee and the Barcelona players also rushed in.

"Oh my God, what's going on? Suddenly it became a full martial arts! ”

"It's over, Pique might be going to eat cards now! Oh! Referee Marlin has a card! Look. Oh! Cristiano yellow card, Pique yellow card!! A yellow card for a Sporting Lisbon substitute! Oh my god, the marlin showed three yellow cards straight away!! ”

What does Peake think?!! He's got a yellow card on his back now!! Oh, my God! Now Barcelona is going to fight with ten people! ”

The sudden change caught everyone off guard, and Coach Joseph immediately rushed to the fourth official and roared, with an angry expression of protest, but it was useless, but because the words were too intense, he also received a yellow card!

In just a few tens of seconds, four yellow cards!

The fans were dumbfounded, Pique was still looking for the referee to explain, Chen Mo put him away and waved his finger at the referee at the same time, indicating that this conflict was provoked by Ronaldo first, and on the other side, in the group of Sporting Lisbon, watching Pique get off the field angrily, Ronaldo couldn't control his excitement when he stood in the crowd, and a smile was hooked on the corner of his mouth!

"Now Barcelona is in trouble! It's only the first half before the stoppage time, there is one less, and he is still a defender! ”

"The slow-motion replay came, and this time it was really Pique's provocation first. Eh, the child is still too impulsive, and the situation is obviously very good, so why do you want to provoke others. ”

"Yes, at this time, what you have to do is to boil frogs in warm water, not to stimulate others, you must know that some players don't have much fighting spirit, but they are provoked by you, but they are high-spirited, and your game is not easy to play."

'This Cristiano is really smart, he also got a yellow card, but he is an attacking player and this yellow card is nothing. Pique can be regarded as paying the price for his youth, you must know that the football field is the battlefield of peacetime, and you have to face not only the strength of the opponent, but also the psychological tactics of the opponent! It's all part of football! ”

"Eh, you're right, let's see how Barcelona responds with one less player."

There are two more chapters to come.
