Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 6 Disadvantage, Tactical Change

Wang Pu and his teammates had already felt the strength of the professional club echelon in the group stage.

High confrontation, fast pace, it was a suffocating feeling, making you dizzy.

Not to mention the professional club echelon at the knockout level.

Standing on the court, it can be seen that the players are still very nervous.

The two central defenders looked serious, and the winger Jim checked his shoelaces over and over again.

"Beep"

The game officially started.

Rio Ave played a 4213 formation, which is also their common formation.

Rio Ave's No. 10 took the ball and made a long diagonal pass to the left winger, who accelerated and waded past the Eagles' right wing who had not yet landed in defense.

The bottom cross, Rio Ave's strong center forward jumped high, the ball hit the crossbar, and the Eagles escaped.

After changing sides, Rio Ave formed a siege on the Eagles.

Familiar half-court offense and defense, using headers and long-range frequency to threaten the Eagles' goal.

Brue's deployment was completely unopened, the formation was flattened, the strikers could not receive the ball at all, and there was no way to talk about counterattack.

Rio Ave obviously conducted a detailed analysis and research on the Eagles, focusing on Wang Bo's defense. As long as he got the ball, at least three people would grab it.

The core was locked, and it was reasonable that the Eagles' offense was paralyzed.

Here it comes again.

Rio Ave's No. 10 received the ball on the right side and hit the Eagles' left side with a big diagonal line. The ball fell accurately at the feet of the forward left winger and shot.

1-0, the Eagles' gate was still lost.

Two minutes later, the opponent's high center forward rode the Eagles' central defender and smashed the ball into the goal again.

2-0, the first half of the game ended.

Being pressed down for a first half, and losing two goals in a row near the end was a huge blow to morale.

During the halftime break, the Eagles players were breathing heavily and drinking water. The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

Wang Po was the first to break the silence. He picked up the tactical board and said, "I think we need a strong center forward to stand in front of me, using his body as a bridgehead to protect the ball and buy time for us to deploy the formation. Jim will be in the center position, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

Bruce on the side nodded frequently. Apart from Wang Po, there was no second contact point, which was their Achilles' heel.

Rio Ave seized this point and made a fuss.

At the beginning of the second half, Bruce replaced the high center forward.

Wang Po's tactics can indeed get back some ball rights when the midfield control is insufficient, but this tactic has never been practiced. He has no idea what the result will be, so he can only gamble.

Two goals are not enough to satisfy Rio Ave's appetite.

Crazy attack in the penalty area.

The two back midfielders of the Eagles strengthened the restrictions on Rio Ave's No. 10 midfielder, and for this, they paid the price of a yellow card.

Counterattacked.

The set-piece of Rio Ave was cleared by the Eagles defender.

Wang Po got the ball and immediately fell into a tight encirclement. He passed the ball through his crotch to the center forward who retreated to the front midfielder position.

Rio Ave's back midfielder was very experienced and held the Eagles center forward to prevent him from turning around.

The big center forward who took the ball with his back to the goal passed it to Wang Po who was advancing, and the latter rushed forward with the ball.

The central defender blocked Wang Po's forward attack route, and behind him was the back midfielder who was chasing back to defend.

He raised his leg, kicked his foot, and made a big diagonal transfer. The ball reached the feet of the attacker Jim, and he made a big trip to the bottom line of Rio Ave. Before the opponent's full-back and B2B back midfielder formed a circle, he passed the ball to the penalty area.

The central defender rushed to Jim on the side, and the door in the middle was wide open. Jim passed the low triangle ball to the small penalty area line.

Wang Po, who was attacking from behind, did not adjust and shot with his left foot to score a goal.

2 to 1.

The attacking trio, Wang Po, the center forward, initiated the attack and the center forward was the fulcrum. He controlled the ball with Wang Po as the axis. Wang Po moved forward, passed the ball, Jim dribbled the ball, made a reverse triangle pass, shot, and the ball went in.

The process was concise and clear. It took 30 seconds to break through Rio Ave's defense.

The players of Rio Ave, who were scored a goal, were unwilling to give up. They decided to teach the other team a lesson.

Kick-off.

Rio Ave's attack became more fierce. The core of the center forward No. 10 performed very prominently and actively. Facing the defensive players of the Eagles, it was like entering an empty space. If it weren't for the goalkeeper's heroic state and high-level defense, the score gap would definitely be widened again.

Fortunately, the Eagles' boys withstood the pressure.

After the goalkeeper hugged the opponent's B2B and inserted a long shot, a powerful hand-throwing ball was handed to Wang Po. Rio Ave switched from offense to defense, and the defense was empty. Only one back waist and one back line were left, and the ball was accelerated.

The back of Rio Ave rushed over.

Wang Po paused, accelerated, and used the change of rhythm to pass the opponent. Facing the full-back of the back line, he accelerated straight and made a cross from the bottom. The center forward who rushed over made a diving header and the ball hit the goal fiercely.

2 to 2.

Only fifteen minutes into the second half, the Eagles, who were beaten without any chance of fighting back in the first half, actually equalized the score.

Are you sure this is not a dream? It's too magical.

The result was unacceptable to the players of Rio Ave. The head coach waved the flag and replaced all three forwards at once, leaving no way out. This was a life-and-death posture.

The Eagles team, on the other hand, performed more and more skillfully. They adapted to Rio Ave's crazy attacks and were united in purpose. They fought for every ball and every inch of land.

In the 85th minute of the game, Wang Po snatched the ball from the opponent's core No. 10 player and made a long pass to Jim who was lying in ambush.

The black cheetah once again showed a bloodthirsty and brutal scene. The speed crushed the opponent's right back and made him suffer. Jim had a lot of defensive skills, but he was full of talent. He cut into the penalty area, leaned against the opponent's central defender, shot at a small angle, and the ball went in.

Overtook.

2 to 3.

Jim ran excitedly and took off his shirt to celebrate.

His teammates rushed forward and pressed Jim on the grass, screaming and shouting wildly. The air was filled with the smell of surging hormones.

The always steady Blue also ran like a big kid to join the celebration team. For this, he was warned with a yellow card by the referee.

There was no time left. With a hasty long shot from the core player of Rio Ave, the referee blew the final whistle.

The game ended, the Eagles advanced to the quarterfinals, and the miracle was not over yet.

Wang Po, who made two assists and one goal, was selected as the most valuable player on the spot, and the prize was a can of fresh beer.

The yellow foaming beer exuded a refreshing malt aroma.

The players of the Eagles held the can and enjoyed Wang Po's spoils.

Blue even performed a bottle blowing at the end, oh, no, can blowing.

The atmosphere of the team was good.
