SYSTEM: I Want to Be the King of Football

chapter 70

At the weekend, in the 31st round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon played against Belamar on home soil.

The Alvalade Stadium is packed with people.

This was another key fight to reach the league championship, drawing 50,000 Sporting Lisbon fans to watch the game.

In the face of strength, ambition to win, and Sporting Lisbon's home game, Bellamar coach Antonio Sosa unexpectedly put four centre-backs in defence, and his conservative heart was clear.

Sporting Lisbon were impolite with its opponents, and were bombarded from the start of the game.

In the 29th minute, Jardel again opened the team's lead by scoring from Belamar.

This goal greatly inflames the spirit of the Alvalade Stadium.

But then, Lady Luck no longer seemed interested in Sporting Lisbon.

Rodrigo Tello, who returned to the starting lineup, was fouled by an opponent when getting the ball shortly after Jardel scored, and ended up with an injury. Quaresma replaced Tello to form a pair of wings alongside Joao Pinto.

The game was really deadlocked.

Sporting Lisbon's tight defense against Belamar was ineffective.

In the first half, Bellamar coach Antonio Sosa made the first substitution adjustment.

Fari Faye, who is recovering from injury, replaces former Sporting Lisbon midfielder Luis Manuel.

After Fari Faye came onto the pitch, Bellamar formed a double forward, showing his determination to fight to the end.

Four minutes later, Antonio Sosa made another substitution and replaced Brazil forward Marcelinho with right-back Ribeiro.

If it is said that the previous substitution is unpredictable, then the second substitution can be said to be a bad view.

As a result, Boloni made a second substitution in the 54th minute, replacing Hugo Viana with Cristiano Ronaldo, trying to use Ronny to attack and press Bellamar on the right, limiting him. Counterattack on the right.

But in the 70th minute, Bellamar still launched a quick counterattack on the right side.

Ribeiro, coming off the bench, steered the ball into the 30-metre area of Sporting Lisbon and sent a lovely pass through the penalty area. Fari Faye's speed broke at this moment and snatched the ball. A favorable point of view.

Queroga chose to commit the offence without any means, and was sentenced to death by the referee.

Yellow card plus penalty!

Fari Faye calmly took the penalty, and in one fell swoop, he equalised for Belamar.

One on one!

The situation changed drastically.

No one would have thought that this was originally a game where Sporting Lisbon got the winning ticket, but in the end, it was, Antonio Sosa suddenly showed his strength and bravely changed two players in four minutes in midfield, completely breaking the deadlock.

…………

…………

Boloni stood in front of the bench, watching the match on the pitch carefully.

Unlike Setubal, Belamar is typical of Portuguese Super League teams with a more open style of play.

Judging from the series of changes made by Antonio Sosa, he completely gave up the competition in midfield and immediately tightened the defensive line. At the same time, he focused on counterattacking and displayed the strength and might of the attacker led by Fary Faye. Features.

Belamar's style of play has a characteristic, which is a defensive line that is not small, but when returning to defense he retreated very firmly.

As long as the ball reaches the frontcourt, the back line will press up and provide enough support to the middle and frontcourt, but once the ball is lost it goes straight backwards, very firmly.

Sporting Lisbon problems are also exposed, especially on the ball track.

Quaresma and Ronnie were too clingy with the ball, and the midfield didn't move fast enough, which led to many times, Sporting Lisbon began counterattacking from stealing, and when the ball reached frontcourt, it was not as easy as it was, it was found that Belamar had returned to defense. .

Even if it can really create a threat, the four centre-backs from the other side return to their positions, essentially blocking all offensive lines.

At the moment, Boloni really has a happy and painful problem.

When Quaresma and Ronnie were juggling their cool and fancy skills on the field, but they weren't very helpful for the game, Boloni predicted there was something he wanted to rush to beat them.

Can you two stop being so flamboyant?

If you don't pass the other eleven players, you're not happy, are you?

But the problem was that fans at the site liked to see their flamboyant juggling skills, and there was a standing ovation.

The game was too late to start, and there was not much time left for Sporting Lisbon.

The sense of crisis of Boloni is getting stronger and stronger.

The day before, Boavista had beaten Setubal four to one at home. If Bellamar can't be beaten tonight, Sporting Lisbon will be the league leader. The Sporting Lisbon pair have been in the lead for almost a season.

More importantly, Boloni's position will be shaken as a result.

His compatriot Nicule, who was highly introduced, performed poorly and was plagued by serious injuries. If he can't win the championship again, why should Boloni stay?

Thinking of this, Boloni showed a stern expression on his face, turned around, and shouted on the bench.

"Su, get ready to play!"

…………

…………

"The match has reached the 74th minute."

"Sporting Lisbon made the last substitution adjustment. Boloni replaces No. 8 Barbos with No. 36 Soto."

"Sporting Lisbon now has three young players under the age of 20 on the pitch, who have all performed well this season."

"Especially Su Dong No. 36, she was only seventeen years old. In the last round of the away game against Setubal, he played for 40 minutes after coming off the bench, one pass and one shot, which changed the game."

"Bologny also had high hopes for Su Dong, betting on him the last and most valuable opportunity for a change of players."

"I wonder if he can continue his outstanding performance in the previous round?"

……

Unlike the previous round against Setubal, this time Sporting Lisbon turned into a four-four-two formation after Su Dong played.

But on the double front, there is still a clear division of labor and cooperation between Sudong and Jadel.

Su Dong's position was more backward, and his range of activity was also greater, his main task remained to act as a pedestal, and connect the midfielders and strikers, while supporting the progress of both wings.

At the tactical level, Sporting Lisbon also retreated a bit.

On the one hand, to ensure the stability of the self-defense line and guard against counter-attacks from players like Fary Faye, on the other hand also to make Bellamar press more forward.

Antonio Sosa also soon adjusted his tactics, and Boloni's switch was not immediately influential.

Su Dong tried several times in court, but the effect was unclear.

But he kept his patience, kept running around, constantly responding, and constantly looking for opportunities.

"This kind of competition is about consumption."

"Don't look at the situation can't be opened, but in fact the opposing bodyguards have been thrown enough by Jadel, Ronnie and Quaresma, and they've consumed a lot of physical energy."

"There are still more than ten minutes, after playing, you have to patiently look for opportunities and try to make a rush."

This was the focus of Bologna's meeting with Su Donger before going into the field.

The greater the consumption, the easier the technical action loses its shape, and the easier it is to make mistakes.

Su Dong executed the head coach's intention well.

The run was very active, and the Belamar players did not dare to give him the chance to get the ball, so the defender could only be forced to follow Su Dong to run, he said, which is even more terrible for opponents who are already expensive.

Pontes once gave Su Dong a vulgar but stark analogy on the subject.

"It's like a guy who really wants to go to the bathroom. When do you think that's the most unbearable?"

"The answer is, the closer you get to the bathroom, the more likely you can't hold it."

"This is human psychology."

"The same reason, the more difficult the game, the easier it is to make mistakes in the last minutes. It's natural."

"So, the closer to the last moment, the more critical the player's and substitute's will becomes."

……

Entering the eighty minutes, Bellamar also made a change of players.

This time they changed a striker, obviously still want to attack.

Sporting Lisbon supporters at the scene also felt the deadlock at the match.

Time went on little by little, and all three substitutions were up. As a result, the situation on the ground has not improved. This made the fans worried whether the match would draw?

So, the fans started cheering for the players.

Boloni also stood on the sidelines, continuing to cheer on the players, while calming their emotions and asking them to be patient.

The players also showed anxiety ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Error started to increase, which is not a good sign.

After eighty-five minutes, the 50,000 fans on the scene were gone, no longer paying attention to Quaresma and Ronnie's goals, because they are worried about the team's offense and the result of the game.

Won't really be flattened, will it?

The players are getting nervous too.

In just three minutes, Diogo of Sporting Lisbon and Paulo Bento won cards one after another, Ribeiro of Bellamar and substitute forward Demetrios also won cards one after another, this shows that both teams. All the players started to get very nervous, and they all strained their nerves.

Eighty eight minutes ... Eighty nine minutes ...

Bellamar once again completed a steal in midfield. Defender Felipe suddenly jumped in and snatched the ball from Ronnie. He quickly dribbled and counter-attacked. Farri Faye and Dmitrio both attacked at the same time.

Just like before, the entire backline was instantly pressed near the halfway line.

Su Dong originally planned to pick up Ronnie, but this time he returned to defense.

When returning to the 30-meter area, Andrey Cruise in the penalty area successfully completed the defense and immediately blocked the ball.

Ronnie had just chased deep into the back, on the left side of the penalty area, and snatched an Andrey Cruise clearance ball.

As soon as the ball stopped, Bellamar's counter-attack arrived.

Defender Felipe who came pushing Ronny to the edge of the field and tried to seize the ball again.

Just when Ronnie was hesitating on what to do, Su Dong ran in time and raised his hand to grab the ball.

"Ronnie, give me the ball!"

As soon as Su Dong shouted, Ronnie passed the ball out of stealth understanding.

And Belamar's other centre-back Cristiano has been behind Su Dong.
