The strongest blade in football

Chapter 63 Break the deadlock
"Friends of the audience, this is the Super Sports Channel of the Walloon Region. Welcome to the No.17 round of the Belgian League A, the match between Royal Standard Liege and Lokeren at home."

"Before the game starts, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"For the home team, the lineup is 343. The back line is No. 4 Rocha, No. 17 Camosatu, and No. 19 Sarr. This Brazilian three-centre defense line does not appear often. This game will face certain tests. "

"In the midfield, No. 28 Witsel acts as a single defensive midfielder, No. 6 Dalma and No. 33 Casella act as two wing midfielders."

"It is worth noting that due to the outstanding performance of No. 43 rookie Wang Nuo recently, the Romanian was put in the starting lineup in this game. The position seems to be the midfielder. I wonder if this young man is competent."

"On the front line, No. 10 Camargo and No. 23 Jovanovic are separated on the left and right sides, and No. 9 Mabo Carney is at the front."

"The visiting team Lokeren has the same 442 lineup as in the previous rounds. Janzik and Syrian Malki act as double forwards."

"The midfielder is No. 7 Alvaumeni, No. 6 Theis..."

Wang Nuo made his debut for the first time, and he kept in mind the tactical instructions Boloni arranged for him.

His position is actually not the attacking midfielder. He, Camargo and Jovanovic will intersperse back and forth on a line and exchange positions.

Wang Nuo wants to try his best to grab the second spot in the frontcourt, using a breakthrough to consume the opponent's 36-year-old veteran Olivier Dole, and at the same time attract the attention of another opponent's No. 2 central defender, Yoav Ziv.

After the opening, that's what he did.

Compared with the winger, Wang Nuo received the ball more frequently in this game, but the requirements for him are also stricter.

He has to keep looking around, when to dribble and when to pass.

It is more difficult to break through the new position. Wang Nuo found it very difficult to push forward ten meters by himself. At any time, someone would squeeze over and stretch his legs to try to destroy the ball.

But Wang Nuo usually won't let them succeed, the ball can't be lost under his feet, unless there is a pinch, or at the cost of a foul.

After the start of the standard Liege, the offense played vigorously, and Wang Nuo's excellent performance played a big role.

The position of the 343 diamond-shaped midfielder Wang Nuo is particularly critical, and the overwhelming number of people on the wing is the magic weapon for victory. Wang Nuo also needs to overlap occasionally to increase the strength of one-sided attack.

Jovanovic tasted the sweetness because of this. He got two chances to attack in the first 10 minutes, one outflanking shot over the crossbar, and another shot was crushed by the goalkeeper.

Camargo and Mabokani are not idle at all. Like Jovanovic, they are just unlucky, otherwise they would have already scored goals.

Standard Liege's forward group put a lot of pressure on Lokeren.

Lokeren's coach Jankovic is a decisive person. When he realized that the situation was not good, he directly adjusted the formation on the sidelines, shrunk the defense line, and launched a defensive counterattack.

Lokeren finally got a break.

They threw the young Yanzik in front, and the others moved back as a whole, and the entire defense line became impenetrable.

The game immediately became boring. Wang Nuo felt that the pressure around him dropped sharply, and no one tried to steal the ball from him, but whenever he raised his head, the dense crowd in front of him turned into the opponent's silhouette.

Passing threatening balls is not Wang Nuo's strong point. According to the coach's request, Jovanovic and Wang Nuo immediately switched positions.

Wang Nuo returned to the familiar right road.

Jovanovic is not a good passer either, he is better than Wang Nuo, but still limited.

Therefore, throughout the second half of the first half, it basically became the standard Liege drawing U in the opponent's half.

The winger passes the ball to the midfielder, then to the other midfielder, then to the other winger, or further back, with the defender involved.

Repeatedly.

Boloni let out a foul breath and shook his head angrily.

This style of play doesn't work, he needs to reorganize his thinking.

During the intermission, Boloni came to the locker room. Except for the three defenders, all the midfielders were called to him.

"Everyone, just two points."

"One is that you have to stay back. Lokeren has to leave some depth in the rear so that we can make a better impact. We need to lure the enemy deep."

"Second, compared with the damn U-shaped pass, try more diagonal long passes, use the width of the court, and speed up the tempo!"

"In the second half, we may not be able to take the lead immediately, but at least we have to improve. Don't be afraid of losing the ball and have the courage to break through to create opportunities. We must wake up the Santas in the audience!"

What Boloni said was true. In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Wang Nuo saw someone dozing off in the audience.

This was almost impossible before.

The team must cheer up!

At the beginning of the second half, the players of Standard Liege quickly implemented Bologne's request.

Standard Liege lowered the pressure, allowing the opposing full-backs to dribble forward and only make some interceptions near the halfway line.

In the first few minutes, Lokeren was still suspicious and did not invest any troops.

But after a few more minutes, they let down their guard and resumed the style of play they had just started.

Wang Nuo no longer has two, three or more defensive players in front of him, he can finally run around the court, and even the air is cleaner.

It didn't take long for him to wait for a good opportunity.

Defender Thrall's oblique long pass across the half court flew towards Wang Nuo.

At first, Wang Nuo felt that he couldn't catch it, and the pass was too deep, but the opponent's full-back ran towards the landing point, and Wang Nuo felt that he should also join in the fun.

Anyway, he was full of strength, and he ran as vigorously as he did in the first half.

No. 3 full-back Mumtaz touched the ball, Wang Nuo chased it and was blocked behind.

But Wang Nuo couldn't let him off lightly. This was a good opportunity. As long as Mumtaz couldn't turn around, Wang Nuo could squeeze him all the way to the bottom line.

Mabokani and Camargo understood, and immediately pressed forward. They are both clever ghosts.

Camargo stood at the top of the arc of the penalty area, preventing the opponent's central defender and midfielder from going to help, while Mabokani ran between the goalkeeper and Mumtaz first, cutting off his final passing line.

Then Mabaokani outflanked Mumtaz from the side.

Loughren's entire backcourt suddenly became tense, and the spectators on both sides of the stands immediately made a commotion.

The Santa hats were thrown aside, they expertly pressured Mumtaz, whistles, chaotic yells, all kinds of noises that made people sound nervous.

Mumtaz didn't know whether he was forced by Wang Nuo to have nowhere to go, or the audience put too much pressure on him. After a stalemate with Wang Nuo for three to five seconds, he made the most helpless choice for a full-back.

He half-turned his body from the outside, ready to kick the ball to Wang Nuo, destroying the baseline.

But as soon as he raised his foot, Wang Nuo was ahead of him and poked the ball.

The two lost their center of gravity at the same time, fell crookedly to the ground, and then got up almost simultaneously.

The football rolled to the side, but it was closer to Wang Nuo. In terms of explosive power, he hadn't lost to anyone yet.

Taking control of the ball with a stride, Wang Nuo cut in along the baseline.

Camargo and Ma Baokani quickly outflanked the goal.

Faced with the opponent's goalkeeper blocking from a small angle, Wang Nuo did not choose to be reckless. He swept the ball into the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

Camargo hit the ball with a low shot, and the football rubbed against the post and rolled into the net.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Standard Liege took advantage of Lokeren's mistakes in the backcourt and broke the deadlock!"

"It's Wang Nuo again! It was his aggressive pressing up front that created the chance!"

"In the 68th minute, the score was rewritten to 1-0!"

With the goal, Du Frasen was instantly ignited, and the "Santa Clauss" tore off their disguises and reincarnated as the most fanatical fans, sending out deafening cheers.

Camargo pointed to the sky, picked up a wallet, and first thanked God.

Then, he rushed to Wang Nuo and gave him a hug.

The teammates ran over to celebrate one by one. This goal came at the right time. Otherwise, after 75 minutes of the game, the physical fitness of both sides will decline, and it will be hard to say whether they can score all three points at home.

Camargo scored the goal and was in the most emotional moment. After celebrating, he shouted to everyone around him.

"One more, kill the game!"
