Chapter 426 Encountered Stubborn Resistance
In the third round of the league, Maritimo is about to embark on the first away trip of the season.
They will be a guest at the Bessa Stadium in Porto to challenge the Boavista team.
Boavista is a typical veteran team whose ancestors were rich.
He is the only team in the Portuguese League that has won championships in Portugal A, Portugal B, and Portugal C.This point, even the top three Portuguese Super League have not done it.
Of course, it's not that Boavista is better than them, but because the top three in the Portuguese Super League have not been relegated, so they don't have to play in low-level leagues.
The last time Boavista won the league championship was in the 2000/2001 season, and the current Portuguese Super League was founded in 2002, which means that Boavista won the last national league championship before the Portuguese Super League.
However, since the establishment of the Portuguese Super League, the championship has been monopolized by Porto and Benfica, and Boavista's results have been lackluster.Especially in recent years, the record has been declining all the way, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the previous Maritimo team for the relegation spot.
In the first two games of this season, Boavista tied for two consecutive games and accumulated 2 points, ranking only 11th in the standings.
The outside world is unanimously optimistic that Maritimo, who has strong morale, scored 3 points in the away game and continues to lead the standings.
However, Gao Yuan is not so optimistic.
By watching Boavista's game video, he found that this is a very tenacious defensive team.
The reason why they did not win the first two games was mainly because their offensive power was not strong, but their defense was well organized, and they even drew 0:0 against the mighty Sporting Portugal.
In the away game, play a team with a very tenacious defense and an urgent need for points.This game is not easy to play!
In addition, subjectively, Gao Yuan does not think that his team has achieved perfection.
The first two games were really good, but it was based on the advantage of the home field, and it was based on the fact that the opponent didn't know him very well.
In terms of hard power alone, in fact, the current Maritimo does not have the ability to crush all opponents.
On the one hand, the tactics still need to be further implemented. Although the players have absorbed the tactical concepts quickly, after all, the time is still short, and they have not fully mastered the details and changes;
On the other hand, in terms of the staffing of the lineup, the team actually still has shortcomings.
Especially the center position. Although Dzeko has arrived in the team, his body has not fully recovered, and he has not understood the team's tactical philosophy. Gao Yuan dare not use it rashly for fear of disrupting the tacit understanding that the team has just established.
In the current Maritimo formation, there are many daggers and daggers with good skills and fast speed, but only a battering ram is missing.
This also laid a hidden danger for the team's attack.
In this away trip, after repeated weighing, Gao Yuan did not take Dzeko who had just arrived with the team, but left him in the base to resume training alone.
This was actually a gamble. Knowing that the opponent might defend intensively, he left the battering ram at home.However, Gao Yuan also has self-confidence. He feels that his own system and players' abilities are sufficient to deal with possible complicated situations.
As soon as the starting players from both sides stood on the field, Gao Yuan realized that what he was worried about had become a reality.
The opponent formed a 5-4-1 formation.
It seems that the opponent coach Vidigal's thinking is very clear, that is, to put down his body, play steadily, not to win, but to be undefeated.
And Gao Yuan's starting lineup was 4-5-1.
Goalkeeper: Niu Gensheng
Defender: (from left to right) Danso Antonio Cusaibarella
Midfielder: Joao Zhouyong Joe Ravukovic Liu Yun
Forward: Wang Zi
Pan Xinyue, who had performed well before, was placed on the bench because Gao Yuan had predicted that the opponent might put up an iron bucket formation before the game, and Pan Xinyue, who was good at running, would not have too many opportunities.
Since Pan Xinyue did not play, this lineup is actually a no-front lineup. It seems that Wang Zi is at the forefront, but he often retreats to the midfield to participate in the organization of the attack.And once he retreats, Vukovic, Liu Yun, and Jorah on the forward line will take turns to move forward, using their different characteristics to kill the opponent.
Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, flowing water does not rot, and the pivot does not rot. The most ideal state is that the entire midfield and frontcourt are constantly changing positions like a trickle, so as to achieve the goal of winning without a front.
Of course, these are ideal states. In actual matches, as long as the opponent is not muddled, they will try their best to prevent you from easily succeeding.
In this game, Maritimo's water flow attack was met by the opponent's dam-style defense.
Boavista's defensive line is very dense, with 5 defenders, double defensive midfielders, and two full-backs are also actively recovered to participate in the defense.It was like a wall of sighs lying in front of Maritimo's attack line.
The opponent is heavily stationed in the backcourt, and Maritimo's best counterattack cannot be played; the small space is very densely populated, and there is no room for short pass penetration.
Maritimo players can choose to dribble, but after one, the second is quickly posted, even if the second can be passed, the third is already there.
Can't rush, can't pass in, can't get rid of it, Maritimo's smooth offense in the previous two games can't be played.
If it is in DB, the very tacit understanding of the Gaojiajun teenagers will immediately choose, open up space, use the width of the court, mobilize the opponent's defense, pass from the side, and the center will make a lore.
But Maritimo is not DB, there is no long-distance scheduling of a midfield organization master like Xu Yifan; there is no crossing master like Qiu Feng who sends long passes like precise guidance; the most important thing is that there is no powerful center like Alfonso to rule the sky in the penalty area.
In desperation, Maritimo hit the wing a few times. Although it took great effort to form a cross, whether it was a bottom pass or a 45-degree explosion, the ball was easily resolved by the opponent's tall defender.
As time went by, Maritimo, who was unable to start the game, became more and more unsatisfactory, and the more he played, the more anxious he became.
The two magic weapons they are proud of, physical fitness and technology, both have advantages, but they can't solve the problem.
The Maritimos can still rush, grab and fight, but the opponents are all huddled in the half court, trading numbers for space, and not running around with you. No matter how good your physical fitness is, you will not have an advantage.
In terms of various skills, the Maritimos are still delicate, the ball is stable, the dribbling is sharp, and the passing is accurate, but it is useless, there is no room for shooting, and no matter how good the ball is, it cannot change the score.
The faces of Xu Kai and Wu Qian were so gloomy that they could almost drip water.These two are die-hard supporters of extreme football in terms of physical fitness and technology. In their minds, if their football style is practiced to the extreme, they can solve all problems.They also traveled across the oceans to prove their football philosophy.
But today, they were actually taught a lesson.It turns out that some things on the football field cannot be solved by physical fitness and technology; football is complicated, and there is no one-size-fits-all formula that can solve all problems.
There is a saying in the art of war: If you can't attack for a long time, you will lose the city.
As the game time passed, the players' mentality also began to become impetuous.Mistakes began to increase, and it was not uncommon to see all kinds of volleys and nonsensical abruptness.
高远看着佩里纳蒂递过来的比赛实时数据分析：射门比3:15，射正比1:4，控球率32％：68％……
Looking at the statistics that seemed to lead the way, Gao Yuan couldn't help frowning.
Of the 15 shots, only 4 were within the range of the goal, and most of the rest were wavy shots, which shows that the players' mentality is already very impetuous.
The ball possession rate seems to be possessed, but most of them are invalid ball possession. Inappropriately handing over the ball to the opponent and letting the opponent attack, how can there be space to create a threat?
In terms of personal data, Vukovic actually hit 7 shots, but only shot once. Is it a bit too much confidence now?Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is troublesome, I have to talk to Su Yi later, and let him pay attention to the standard of psychological treatment!
and also……
In short, Gao Yuan has a headache. In this half, many problems have been exposed, and he has to hurry up and find a solution.
Just when Gao Yuan was thinking hard about the countermeasures, the referee's whistle sounded, and the first half of the game was over.
It seems that I was busy during the intermission!
