Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 319

In such a critical battle, the Portuguese team conceded a goal first in the 14th minute of the away game!

Portugal's defense can't be said to have made any serious mistakes. Every player is dedicated. Even when the Russian midfielder Igor Titov catches the ball and shoots, Anderson Deco has already chased him. Only a little bit can prevent the opponent from lifting his foot.

The style shown by the Russian team today is: Lingxiu!

Not only are Andrei Arshavin and Marot Izmarov two short technical players who are very dexterous, but the other Russian players in the frontcourt, although not short in stature, except for the top In addition to the strong body of the center Korzhakov, the right midfielder Villaledinov and the midfielder Igor Titov are all players of the type of Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs. Slender and dexterous in movement.

However, it was such a weak attacking combination of the Russian midfielder and frontcourt, who used their flexible movement to penetrate the Portuguese team's defense at once!
In this goal of the Russian team, the top star Andrei Arshavin played the most critical role. After he knelt down on one knee, he passed the ball, causing all the Portuguese defenders to lose their way to block the ball. A wide channel for Igor Titov's shot went straight to Portugal's goal.

"Long live Russia! A great country! A great team!"

"Mr Zidane of Russia! Igor Titov!"

"The new Tsar of Russia! Andrei Arshavin!"

The more than 8 fans in the Luzhniki Stadium all shouted in ecstasy. This is really an unexpected surprise. The last time the Russian team was beaten by the Portuguese team in an away game, it was a complete defeat. The team, from the coach to the players, was beaten to pieces.

However, the Russian team, who returned to the home court, seemed to be protected by the gods. They opened the game with an extremely tough posture and succeeded in a strong attack. How can this not make people happy?
Compared with the Russian players who were caught in a frantic celebration, everyone in the Portuguese team was shocked beyond words.

"How is this possible? Is this damn Eastern European country possessed by God?"

Portuguese coach Scarari spread his hands and opened his mouth wide. This look looks a little silly. The chubby Brazilian old man originally looked like a wealthy restaurant owner. Fortunately, his eyebrows are slightly hanging, which makes his face He seemed a bit ruthless, otherwise he was just a kind-hearted fat old man.

Scolari turned angrily and kicked hard at the upright next to the bench.

"boom!"

Ronando, who was sitting on the bench chair, obviously felt the chair under his buttocks tremble violently from the kick.

Depend on!What's the use of using these chairs and uprights to vent your anger?

However, Ronaldo now has a strong ability to judge the game situation. He can see that Scolari has no other choice but to be angry. This conceded goal has nothing to do with the deployment of the Portuguese back line. Coralie could not achieve the goal of strengthening the defense line by substituting or adjusting the defense line.

Portugal's back line is far more capable of defending against ground offenses than defending against strong offenses in the penalty area, and the Russian team just took the opportunity through ground penetration.

If we must say that there are omissions in the Portuguese team's defense, it is that the central defender Fernando Meera is too tall. Fernando Meera, who plays for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, is 190cm tall and has a burly physique. The highest point on the back line, but the consequence of this height is that his mobility is slightly insufficient.

Fernando Mera on the field today feels a bit tasteless, because the center of the Russian team, Korzakov, is a "short" with a height of only 180cm.

Korzakov, 23 years old, plays for Zenit St. Petersburg. He is Andrei Arshavin's closest partner. The two have been the striker partner of this St. Petersburg team since 2001. The two grew up together. They have experienced glory together. In 2003, they teamed up to make this team the runner-up of the Russian Super League. The team's performance dropped slightly last year, ranking fourth, but the two scored 24 goals.

However, Korzhakov is definitely not a top striker. His biggest advantage is his excellent physical fitness. is bad.

In Russian football, Korzakov has a lame nickname "the frontcourt shit stick".

Because Korzhakov's "first kick technique" is very poor, just like Ronaldo, it is difficult to get the opportunity to stop and shoot under dense defense, so as long as he encounters one-on-one defensive ability and fast frequency The central defender can basically declare disappearing.

The absolute speed of Portuguese central defender Fernando Mela is not fast, but he is fast enough. He is more than enough to defend Korzakov. Due to his height and weight, Fernando Mela’s defense ability is weak. In the Russian team’s In that goal, if Fernando Meera had moved a little faster, he might have been able to block Igor Titov's powerful shot with his body.

Although he knows Fernando Meera's weakness, what can coach Scolari do?

If Fernando Meera is replaced with a central defender with a wider running range, it will definitely be a big trouble when the Russian team gets the frontcourt positioning ball!
※※※

Ronando, who was on the bench, became restless and fidgety.

According to coach Scolari's arrangement, he will almost come off the bench in the second half, so he can only watch from the sidelines now.

The Portuguese team still did not play smoothly on the court, and they had more opportunities than the Russian team in terms of offense, but these opportunities seemed to be far from scoring goals.

Like their frontcourt players, the Russian team's defensive players are veterans leading a group of young players.

The team captain and midfielder Alexie Smetin is the oldest player in the team. The 30-year-old Alexie Smetin is known for his flexible pace and fierce tackles. Defensive midfielder, once played for Lokomotiv Moscow, Bordeaux and Chelsea. Although it was difficult for Alessie Smetin to find his own position in Chelsea's famous midfielder, he was loaned to Portsmouth in the 2003-04 season , who have been loaned to Charlton this season, are important midfielders for their teams.

The main central defender Sergey Ignashevich, 26 years old, a big man with a height of 190cm, is a teammate of the Berezutsky brothers and plays for CSKA.

In addition to these two big brothers, the Berezutsky brothers are 23 years old this year, and the goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev is younger, only 19 years old. The three of them are also from CSKA. Aleksandr Anyukov, 23, right back from Zenit St. Petersburg.

Such a defense line, logically speaking, must have insufficient experience, at best it has been strengthened on the basis of CSKA Moscow's defense line.

However, under the leadership of the Premier League player-level captain Alessie Smetin, this young back line has shown the characteristics of being fierce and able to run, playing very tough, just like the CSKA Moscow back then, tough The defensive and intense physical contact made the Portuguese players suffer.

"Portugal attack from the left, No. 11 Simão Sabrosa is flanked by two Russian players!"

"Pass the ball!...The center is outflanking the star Anderson Deco, who plays for Barcelona in La Liga. This dexterous player has stronger physical confrontation ability than his appearance...Russian captain No. 25 Alessie S. Meijing stuck close to him... On the 17th Igor Titov returned to the defense and intercepted the ball behind him!"

"Portuguese team No. 20 Andre Deco forcibly dribbled the ball across the penalty area!"

"No. 14 Vasily Berezutski! Headed the ball in front of Portuguese striker No. 9 Pauletta!"

"Little Berezutsky has done a great job! In this kind of high ball competition, the No. 180 Pauletta, who is only 9cm tall, is not dominant. The Portuguese team can easily get opportunities by delicate ground penetration, and find kickers through sports battles." On the contrary, if you play high balls indiscriminately like this, you can only send the ball to the opponent's feet!"

The leading score made the Russians so proud, and the commentator at the Luzhniki Stadium was full of confidence.

If it was normal, if the commentator of the Russian stadium dared to use a critical tone to evaluate a big star in La Liga and Barcelona, ​​he would definitely be ridiculed countless times. However, in today's scene, no one would laugh at the commentator. ignorance.

The current Russian coach Valery Gazaev's team strategy is obviously very successful.

Zenit St. Petersburg's forward line + CSKA's back line + mixed midfielder, except for the front line, the veterans sit in the middle of the midfield and back line, and then arrange a group of young generals who can run and rush to guard the left and right. These players They are also teammates who often play football together. They are very familiar with each other and have a very high tacit understanding.

Such a Russian team has a slight lack of offensive fluency, but the combat effectiveness that each line of defense can produce cannot be underestimated.

The Portuguese team is in a hard fight!
It's hard to attack, but it's also hard to defend! …For example, Deco’s pass just now, of course he knows that teammate Pauletta has a very small chance of receiving the pass under the tight defense of the opponent’s central defender, but if Deco does not pass the ball in time, He would fall into the double team of Alessie Smetin and Igor Titov, so he had to do it.

In general, the midfielders of the Portuguese team are using technology to grind against the steel defense of the Russian team.

This is like "water milling" kung fu, what is important is to slowly grind out opportunities. It is difficult to see the Portuguese team play a powerful offensive in such a situation.

Therefore, as the game progressed, the Portuguese team, which was behind by one goal, was gradually pushed into a very subtle disadvantageous situation. If they insisted on onslaught, the back line would be in danger, and it is obviously even more impossible to recover properly. Facing the huge danger of being overtaken by the Slovak team, that is hell...
