Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 64
But before he changed his tactics, Rimini had already scored, and it was Zhang Yuan who scored.

In the 28th minute, Rimini central defender Degan was forced to pass a long pass under the pressure of the opponent. The ball flew very far and went directly to Genoa's half-court penalty area. De Rosa and Matt At the same time, he ran to the landing point to compete for the top, but today's Matri is a bit magical. De Rosa and him have failed to compete for the top of Matri several times, and this time is no exception. Arrived, but he failed to hit the ball back to Zhang Yuan accurately under the interference of DeRosa, but it was a bit off. Zhang Yuan and Krishna fought for the ball. , Hooking the ball back into his control range, stretching his feet a bit long, causing him to lose his balance a bit. Facing the approaching Clichyto, Zhang Yuan must either be intercepted by Clichyto, or he was caught by Clichy Toto hit the ball, so he chose to shoot forcibly. The right foot that hooked the ball didn't even land on the ground. He slammed the ball with the outside of his foot. But it didn't draw out of shape. The ball crossed an arc and went into the goal over the outstretched hand of Genoa goalkeeper Rubinho.

Zhang Yuan fell to the ground. Whether the ball can be scored really depends on luck. Before shooting, he had no time to check the goal and the position of the goalkeeper.Efforts were not in vain, Rimini finally reproduced a dawn.

He stood up, clenched his hands into fists, let out a roar of "fuck!", yes he said dirty words!Matri, who was closest to him, rushed over and jumped into Zhang Yuan's arms. He raised his arms and cheered. Scoring this goal was just a simple cooperation between Matri and Zhang Yuan. Ricciutti and Moscaldelli on both sides did not participate in this attack at all. 1:0 means that as long as Rimini scores another goal, Genoa can be eliminated. It means that Rimini, who was basically dead before the game, has a higher chance of surviving. There are more than 60 minutes left in the game, right?
When Zhang Yuan shot, most of the players on the bench for Akori, Martini and Rimini had already stood up. When the goal was scored, everyone rushed to the sidelines, cheering and applauding to celebrate !The few fans of the visiting team holding the Rimini flag on the field were boiling. The first goal was just the beginning, and there was still a chance, everyone thought so.

Akoli also thinks so. In today's tactical arrangement, he didn't take the risk of attacking with all his strength, but gave the main task to the four-man combination in the frontcourt. In fact, the two still have a relatively large defensive task, and they must be able to run up and get back. So in fact, the focus of the attack is still on Matri and Zhang Yuan. Matri under his command?His task on the court today was to compete for the top, and he did it very well!As for Zhang Yuan, he is really a genius, Akoli sincerely lamented that he seized an opportunity that was not an absolute opportunity.The goal was beautiful!
Gasperini seemed a little annoyed, he just planned to change his team but the opponent scored first, which made him blame himself for not being faster.

At the beginning of today, he made up his mind to attack. Two full-backs and two midfielders stood in parallel. The midfielder can provide more support to the frontcourt, and the midfielder must be higher, but Rimini's long pass style completely disrupted his deployment. Now that Genoa is behind, do we need to make other adjustments?
Gasperini thought for a while and decided to make adjustments as he had just thought. Adalton withdrew from the midfield to play the attacking midfielder, and Coppola played the back midfielder who was dragging behind, specifically marking Zhang Yuan, which was equivalent to a formation Adjusted to 352 to strengthen the pass control of the midfield. This is his plan just now. The reason for not making additional adjustments is that although Rimini leads 1:0, they still have to score another goal to eliminate Genoa and take the initiative. It is still Genoa. One of the purposes of his plan is to strengthen the defensive strength and nail Zhang Yuan to death. He is the most dangerous. Although Matri is very perverted today, Zhang Yuan lost the ball after the change. Matri might not be in that much trouble.The second purpose is to play midfield possession again. In the early stage, the ball is frequently passed to the three strikers. This gives Rimini too many opportunities to launch long passes. After the ball, they immediately launched a long pass attack. The more they lost, the more they launched, and they couldn't go on like this.

After Genoa changed formation, they started to pass in the midfield again like last game, and they didn’t play penetration easily this time, mainly because they were afraid of losing the ball and giving Rimini a long pass. In fact, the 352 formation, the defense There is still a big gap on both sides, and if the forwards on both sides fail to return to the defense in time, it is very likely that a big mistake will be made.

The game fell into a stalemate. No matter how effective Akori's long pass tactics are, there are fewer long pass opportunities, and the natural threat is weakened. Genoa has the advantage in the midfield, and his organizational ability and pass control ability are stronger than Rimini. Rimini can only defend passively now.

Akori is hesitant in the face of this situation. He is afraid that the opponent will catch the gap, and the defense and offense are restricted to a certain extent. It is difficult for him to be one goal away.He basically spent the last 20 minutes of the first half in hesitation, and Rimini ended the first half with 1:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Akori still did not make any adjustments, and he was still hesitant. During the intermission, he praised his players and encouraged them to continue to do so in the second half. What to do?Doing a good job of defending and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack is easy to say, but in fact it means letting the frontcourt guys figure out their own way, as long as they can catch it once, it will be fine, and the defense must not be relaxed.

Gasperini made fine-tuning. He didn't dare to press too much in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, he made up his mind to take advantage of the opening to attack, so after the game restarted, Genoa didn't care about Zhang Yuan's speed at all. Rimini's life is difficult because the three lines are pressed at the same time, because Rimini's two midfielders still choose to actively attack instead of recovering, leaving a certain gap for Genoa, who just started to play midfield penetration, side The penetration of the road led to two consecutive dangerous situations in Rimini's defense line. Once, Divayo was pulled down from behind by Digan Borgia outside the penalty area and was awarded a free kick. Leon's direct shot hit the beam again. When it came out, Handanovic burst into a cold sweat. Another time, Adalton, Diwayo and Figueroa played a three-person short-sighted cooperation at the front of the penalty area. Danovic bravely blocked the bottom line.

On Rimini's side, due to the relatively strong organizational ability of the opponent's midfielder, it is difficult for Rimini to grab the ball in the pass and control, and the chances of getting the ball in the frontcourt are limited. Or Zhang Yuan, not to mention the accuracy, once Zhang Yuan takes the ball, the opponent will use foul tactics to prevent Zhang Yuan from bringing or passing the ball, even if he pays a yellow card. Far has received a yellow card.

After 10 minutes of attacking, Genoa still failed to score. Gasperini ordered his players to recover the formation and start to play possession. Genoa’s Cristo had already received a yellow card. If you get a yellow card again, you will only end up in the game.

At this time, Arcori made a substitution adjustment. Cristiano replaced Borgia. He is an organizational midfielder and his defensive ability is not good, but Akori needs him on the field to try to control the operation of the team, although so far Pagano's main task is defense.Borgia was given a yellow card by the referee just now, so the defense will inevitably shrink. After all, Rimini would be even more hopeless if there is one less person, and now Genoa is holding the ball in the midfield. Rimini To interrupt the opponent's rhythm, the only way is to press fiercely, and fouls are also one of the necessary means. Therefore, Akori replaced Cristiano in the matchup to maintain enough pressure on Genoa on defense.

Taking advantage of the substitution, he said to Cristiano: "Domenic, after you come on the field, tell everyone how long the pass was to hit Zhang Yuan. Criscito already has a yellow card, so he won't foul Zhang Yuan too much! "Actually, what he meant was that you just play Zhang Yuan's point, and try to make Krishto foul as much as possible, and it's best to end Krishto.

With this instruction, Rimini will always pass long balls to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan is indeed not good at heading the ball, but it does not mean that he is afraid of scrimmage. 1.8 meters tall, not too short.Cristo is much taller than him, but it doesn't mean that height can determine everything. There are also many short central defenders. How tall is Cannavaro, and he is still the World Footballer!

Therefore, in this kind of competition for the top, Cristo won a lot of balls, but Zhang Yuan could occasionally win the ball by grabbing the position. Zhang Yuan is not the best actor, otherwise the possibility of the referee sending off Cristo will not be ruled out if he does a performance.

Gasperini discovered Rimini's intentions, and quickly made adjustments, so that Cristo, who played on the right center back, and De Rosa in the middle, switched positions. There is no one who has reached the level of Krishna, so I chose to keep Krishna on the court as much as possible.

However, when the Rimini players saw that Cristo switched to the middle, they immediately started long balls to find Matri. Matri is in good form today, although he is not as tall as Cristo, but he is not behind in the fight for the top. wind.

DeRosa is a veteran with rich experience, but his speed and agility are not as good as that of Cristo, and even worse than that of Zhang Yuanlai. This is why Gasperini arranged for Cristo to defend against Zhang Yuan and DeRosa to fight. The reason for dragging the centre-backs.
