I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 70: Ronnie, give me the ball!

   At the weekend, in the 31st round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon played against Belamar at home.

   Alvalade Stadium was crowded with people.

   This is another key battle to hit the league championship, attracting 50,000 Sporting Lisbon fans to watch the match.

   In the face of the powerful, ambition to win, and the home game of Sporting Lisbon, Bellamar coach Antonio Sosa unexpectedly ranked four central defenders in the defense, and his conservative heart is clear.

  Sporting Lisbon was not polite with its opponents, and bombarded from the start of the game.

   In the 29th minute, Jardel once again opened the scoring for the team, scoring Belamar's goal.

   This goal greatly ignited the passion of the Alvalade Stadium.

   But then, it seems that Lady Luck is no longer interested in Sporting Lisbon.

   Rodrigo Tello, who returned to the starting lineup, was violated by an opponent when he got the ball shortly after Jardel scored, and ended up injured. Quaresma replaced Tello to form a pair of wings with Joao Pinto.

   The game was completely deadlocked.

   Sporting Lisbon’s strict defense against Belamar has no effective way.

   At halftime, Bellamar coach Antonio Sosa made the first substitution adjustment.

  Fari Faye, who has just returned from injury, replaced former Sporting Lisbon midfielder Luis Manuel.

After   Fari Faye came on the field, Bellamar formed a double forward, showing his determination to fight back to the end.

   Four minutes later, Antonio Sosa made another substitution and replaced the Brazilian forward Marcelinho with right back Ribeiro.

   If it is said that the previous substitution was unpredictable, then the second substitution can be described as a poor view.

As a result, Boloni made a second substitution in the 54th minute, replacing Hugo Viana with Cristiano Ronaldo, trying to use Ronny to attack and suppress Bellamar’s right, limiting it. The opponent's counterattack on the right.

   But in the 70th minute, Bellamar still shot a quick counterattack on the right.

Ribeiro, who came on the bench, drove the ball to the 30-meter area of ​​Sporting Lisbon and sent a wonderful pass that crossed the penalty area. Fari Faye's speed broke out at this moment and grabbed the ball. A vantage point.

  Queroga chose to commit a foul without any means, and was sentenced to death by the referee.

   Yellow card plus penalty!

  Fari Faye calmly took the penalty, and in one fell swoop, equalized for Belamar.

   One to one!

   The situation has changed drastically.

   No one thought that this was originally a game in which Sporting Lisbon had a winning ticket, but in the end, Antonio Sosa suddenly showed his power and boldly changed two players in four minutes in midfield, completely breaking the deadlock.

  …………

  …………

   Boloni stood in front of the coach's bench, watching the game on the court intently.

   Belamar is different from Setúbal. This is a typical Portuguese Super League team with a more open style of play.

Judging from the series of substitutions made by Antonio Sosa, he completely gave up the midfield competition and directly tightened the defense line. At the same time, he focused on counterattacks and displayed the strength and strength of the forward headed by Fary Faye. Features.

   Belamar’s style of play has a characteristic, that is, the defense line is not small, but when returning to the defense, he retreats very resolutely.

   As long as the ball reaches the frontcourt, the back line will press up and provide enough support to the center and frontcourt. But once the ball is lost, he immediately retreats, very resolute.

   The problems of Sporting Lisbon are also exposed, mainly in the ball lane.

Quaresma and Ronnie are too sticky to the ball, and the midfield is not moving fast enough, which leads to many times, Sporting Lisbon starts counterattack from stealing, and when the ball reaches the frontcourt, it is found that Belamar has returned to the defense. .

   Even if it can really create a threat, the four central defenders from the other side return to their positions, basically blocking all the offensive lines.

   At this moment, Boloni really has a trouble that is both happy and painful.

When Quaresma and Ronnie were juggling their cool and fancy skills on the court, but they were not very helpful for the game, Boloni estimated that there was something he wanted to rush to beat them up. Impulse.

   Can you two stop being so flamboyant?

   If you don’t go over the other eleven players, you are unhappy, are you?

   But the problem is that the fans at the scene like to see their flamboyant juggling skills, and there was thunderous applause.

   The game is too late to start, and there is not much time left for Sporting Lisbon.

   Boloni’s sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger.

Just the day before, Boavista beat Setubal four to one at home. If Bellamar can’t be beaten tonight, Sporting Lisbon will be the leader of the league. This pair of Sporting Lisbon has led the way for nearly a season. To say that is definitely a crushing thing.

   More importantly, Boloni’s position will be shaken as a result.

   Compatriot Nicule, who was heavily introduced, performed poorly and was plagued by serious injuries. If he can't win the championship again, why should Boloni stay?

   Thinking of this, Boloni showed a determined look on his face, turned around, and shouted at the bench.

   "Su, get ready to play!"

  …………

  …………

   "The game has reached the 74th minute."

   "Sporting Lisbon made the last substitution adjustment. Boloni replaced the No. 8 player Barbosa with No. 36 Soto."

   "This is a signal to strengthen the offense."

   "Sporting Lisbon now has three young players under the age of 20 on the court, all of whom have performed well this season."

"Especially No. 36 Su Dong, he is only seventeen years old. In the last round of the away game against Setubal, he played for 40 minutes after coming off the bench, one pass and one shot, which turned the game around. "

   "Bologny also has high hopes for Su Dong, betting on him the last and most precious opportunity for substitution."

   "I wonder if he can continue his outstanding performance in the previous round?"

  ……

   Unlike the previous round against Setubal, this time Sporting Lisbon changed into a four-four-two formation after Su Dong played.

   But in the double forward, Su Dong and Jadel still have a clear division of labor and cooperation.

   Su Dong's position is more rearward, and his range of activities is also larger. The main task is still to act as a fulcrum, and to connect the midfielder and the striker, while supporting the advancement of the two wings.

   At the tactical level, Sporting Lisbon has also retreated a bit more.

   On the one hand, it is to ensure the stability of one's own line of defense and to guard against counterattacks from players such as Fary Faye. On the other hand, it is also to make Bellamar press more forward.

   Antonio Sosa also immediately adjusted his tactics, and Boloni’s substitution did not have an immediate effect.

   Su Dong tried several times on the court, but the effect was not obvious.

   But he still maintained his patience, constantly running around, constantly responding, and constantly looking for opportunities.

   "This kind of competition is about consumption."

   "Don't look at the situation can't be opened, but in fact, the opposing guards have been tossed enough by Jadel, Ronnie and Quaresma, and they consume a lot of physical energy."

   "There are still more than ten minutes, after playing, you must patiently look for opportunities and try to make a rush."

   This is the focus of Bologna's face to face with Su Donger just before going on the court.

   The greater the consumption, the easier it is for technical actions to lose shape, and the easier it is to make mistakes.

   Su Dong executed the head coach’s intentions well.

  His running is very active, and Belamar's players dare not give him a chance to get the ball, so the defender can only be forced to follow Su Dong to run, which is even more terrible for the opponent who is already expensive.

   Pontes once gave Su Dong a vulgar but vivid analogy on this issue.

   "It's like a person eager to go to the bathroom. When do you think it is the most unbearable?"

   "The answer is, the closer you are to the bathroom, the greater the probability that you can't help it."

   "This is human psychology."

   "The same reason, the more difficult the game, the easier it is to make mistakes at the last minute. This is natural."

   "So, the closer it comes to the last moment, the more critical the player's willpower and the substitute players become."

  ……

   entered eighty minutes, Bellamar also made a substitution.

   This time they replaced a striker, obviously still wanting to attack.

  Sporting Lisbon fans at the scene also felt the stalemate of the game situation.

   Time is passing bit by bit, and all three substitutions have been used up. As a result, the situation on the field still has not improved. This has caused fans to worry about whether the game may be tied?

   So, fans began to cheer for the players.

   Boloni also stood on the sidelines, constantly encouraging the players, while calming their emotions and asking them to be patient.

   The players also showed anxious mood~www.NovelMTL.com~ Mistakes started to increase, which is not a good sign.

   After eighty-five minutes, the 50,000 fans on the scene had no thoughts. They no longer paid attention to the goals of Quaresma and Ronnie, because they were worried about the team's offense and the result of the game.

   will not be really flattened, right?

   The players are also getting anxious.

In just three minutes, Sporting Lisbon’s Diogo and Paulo Bento won the cards one after another, Bellamar’s Ribeiro and substitute forward Demetrios also won the cards one after another, which shows that the two teams All of the players started to be highly nervous, and they all tightened their nerves.

   Eighty-eight minutes... Eighty-nine minutes...

Bellamar once again completed a steal in the midfield. Defender Felipe suddenly jumped in and grabbed the ball from Ronnie. He quickly dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack. Farri Faye and Dmitrio The two attacked at the same time.

   Same as before, the entire back line was directly pressed near the center line.

   Su Dong originally planned to pick up Ronnie, but this time he went back to defense all the way.

   When he returned to the 30-meter area, Andrey Cruise in the penalty area had completed a defense and blocked the ball directly.

   Ronnie had just been chasing all the way back, and on the left side of the penalty area, he grabbed a clearance ball from Andrey Cruise.

   As soon as the ball stopped, Bellamar’s counter grab arrived.

  The defender Felipe who came up pushed Ronny to the sideline and tried to grab the ball again.

   Just when Ronnie was hesitating what to do, Su Dong ran over in time and raised his hand for the ball.

   "Ronnie, give me the ball!"

   As soon as Su Dong shouted, Ronnie passed the ball out of the tacit understanding.

   And Belamar’s other central defender Cristiano has already been behind Su Dong.
