Extraordinary coach
Chapter 58 Balotelli's Power
The game had already started, and as Sun Yi worried, Marseille mainly focused on Sarr's attack.
Marseille's strongest point was their right side (i.e. Nice's left side), where Towan and Zambo were both.
Their attack along the way was very strong, and Nice had a hard time resisting it. Once Marseille formed an offensive on the wing, their final pass would give priority to Sarr's defense.
Sarr's lack of experience made him look very strenuous when facing Marseille's striker Gomis. C+ versus B+, the gap is too big.
The most dangerous thing was that less than five minutes into the game, Sarr had a header, which gave Gomis a chance. Fortunately, Terry made up for the gap and blocked Gomis's shot.
It can be said that this was the biggest crisis that Nice had after the opening.
And Sarr felt a little guilty about it. But Terry comforted and encouraged him softly.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yi was very happy and felt that he was right to bring Terry to Nice.
"Sar is now the focus of the opponent's attack. I'm worried that he can't bear it. Maybe we should consider alternatives." Dio said to Sun Yi with some concern.
"Your concerns are reasonable. But with Terry here, I believe they can hold on. At least it seems that there is no problem for the time being. In fact, the key to this game is to see how our offense is done." Sun Yi stared at the field and said slowly.
"It's still very difficult!" Dio said worriedly.
It's really difficult. Marseille's defense is very good. They play regional defense and are very well integrated. In addition, they obviously made arrangements against Salah, which made Nice's offense encounter great difficulties.
Even though Salah has strong personal ability, he was still restricted by the double-teaming of two people.
Salah's performance was affected, and Nice had to come more from the left and the center. But the abilities of other people are much worse, and they have no advantage over Marseille. This makes Nice's threat not great even if they have the opportunity to come out.
This situation also makes Nice slightly worse than Marseille from the scene.
As the game progressed, Nice showed some disadvantages in terms of creating opportunities and shooting.
Worried that the team's desire to attack would be suppressed, Sun Yi came to the sidelines and asked the players to continue to maintain the offensive. At the same time, he also asked the full-backs to participate in the attack more and make more crosses.
With the increase in the number of crosses in the attack by Nice, especially the 45-degree crosses, the number of times Nice attacked Marseille's penalty area also increased. But it seems that the effect is not good for the time being.
Seeing this, Nice fans have an opinion.
"The full-back came up to make a 45-degree cross, which has no effect on Marseille. They have a way to defend this kind of pass. Moreover, Balotelli is not particularly good at competing for headers. Doing this is not smart."
"And this approach is also easy to cause a big loophole in the defense because the full-back can't go back after coming up. If caught, it will be dangerous."
In the game on the field, Nice organized an offensive again after a hard defense.
After they passed the midfield, they quickly handed the ball to Salah's feet. When Salah encountered obstacles while trying to break forward, he passed the ball back.
In response to Salah's pass back, Ricardo Pereira, who rushed up from the right, did not stop the ball and directly kicked a 45-degree cross.
"Hey, here it comes again. Do you think Balotelli is a high-altitude bomber?" Seeing this scene, many Nice fans were a little disappointed.
But as soon as they finished speaking, they saw Balotelli jump high, and then, under the double-team of two defenders, he shook his head hard at the flying ball.
"Bang!" There was a sound. The sound was so loud that it must have been kicked with a foot.
When the fans heard this sound, the ball had already made a net in the goal.
The fans were stunned at first, and then cheered in surprise.
"Ah!! Goal! Goal, goal!"
"Balotelli scored, and he scored with a header!"
Amid the cheers of the fans, Balotelli came to the sidelines coolly and celebrated to the fans. After the celebration, Balotelli also pointed at his head with both hands. It seemed to be saying, look, this is the power of my Balotelli's header.
"This header is beautiful!" Teammates rushed over one after another, and Pereira and others laughed and touched Balotelli's head one by one.
"Be careful, don't break my headband." Balotelli nervously protected the headband.
"Haha..."
After having fun with his teammates for a while, Balotelli ended the goal celebration. Then he followed his teammates and walked back while constantly adjusting the headband on his head.
"Balotelli's header is really beautiful! This is the first time I have seen him score such a beautiful header."
"Yes. This header is really beautiful. The road over there is really big. It feels like it was kicked with his feet."
"I didn't expect Balotelli's header to be so powerful! Is it because he wore a headband today?"
The fans who finished celebrating the goal also began to talk excitedly about Balotelli's header goal.
"What happened? Why did he hit the ball even though two people were attacking him? Can you please stop being distracted and concentrate?" Marseille coach Garcia came to the sidelines and pointed at his head with both hands and shouted at the field. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the goal. He thought that the defenders did not defend Balotelli well enough.
"..." The defenders Hubokan and Duria who were scolded by Garcia looked helpless.
It was not that they were distracted. It was that Balotelli's header ability seemed different from what they knew. It was much stronger than they imagined.
"Keep an eye on their full-backs. Don't let them kick the ball easily again."
"Attack, we must strengthen the attack."
"..." Garcia began to command the team to press forward and attack after yelling at the defenders.
Compared with the somewhat angry Garcia, Sun Yi seemed much more relaxed. After celebrating Balotelli's goal with everyone, he was already sitting on the bench with his legs crossed.
Do you know the power of Balotelli's header now? It's a pity that your response was too late.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Balotelli's header ability to be so strong. I don't know why his header suddenly became so strong." Dio beside him was still immersed in Balotelli's goal.
After listening to this, Sun Yi couldn't help but raise his mouth. He felt proud in his heart: Isn't this all thanks to me? With me here, Balotelli will surprise you many more times in the future? Wait and see, maybe it won't be long before you see a real Super Mario!
