After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

After a 15-minute intermission, the two teams returned to the court.

After the start of the second half, Portugal continued to take an active offensive strategy against the Swedish team.

This is mainly the change caused by the goal at the end of the first half.

Of course, Santos does not want the Swedish team to take advantage of the morale-boosting opportunity after the equalizer to launch a counterattack against Portugal and further dampen the morale of the Portuguese players.

That conceded goal was really terrible!

Everyone knows what it would be like to let the opponent score at this point in time.

Santos managed to make everyone temporarily forget the goal in the locker room.

Of course, in this process, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was injured, also played a big role. He delivered a passionate speech to cheer everyone up and put them into the second half of the game!
At the beginning of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo also changed into a jacket, turned into an assistant coach of the Portuguese team, and stood on the sidelines to direct.

His advice to Santos is also to strengthen the offense!
He wants to win!
Ronaldo wants the team to break through the Swedish team's goal as soon as possible more than Santos, and once again establish an advantage.

As an old opponent of Pan Yi, Ronaldo has seen Pan Yi's various tricks too many times, especially when the game time is nearing the end.

If you don't take the lead, the more time goes by, the probability of Portugal winning will be lower and lower!

However, the Swedish team still stood in a defensive formation calmly after the opening, welcoming Portugal's onslaught.

This led to a situation on the field that looked a bit like a replica of the opening stage of the first half, that is, Portugal was attacking, Sweden was defending, and there was no decent counterattack.

"Now the situation on the scene has become a bit one-sided again. The Swedish team seems to be struggling, but their players are still firmly in front of the goal, preventing Portugal from easily facing the goal. This allows Portugal to play. Chances to score, but very difficult to score."

"It can be seen that the defensive strategy of the Swedish team is also very targeted. For example, when defending Nani, the two central defenders of Sweden will often use their bodies to fight against him, so that Nani's slightly thin body sometimes Can't control the ball well, and it's easy to miss when shooting."

"When defending Quaresma, the Swedish defenders paid great attention to preventing his signature outside instep from playing, often forcing Quaresma to use the reverse foot to handle the ball, which reduced his accuracy and thus It's hard to be a threat."

"Compared with the first half, the Swedish team's defensive system seems to be more reasonable, and the cooperation among the players is also more tacit. It seems that Portugal will find it difficult to find a way to score for a while..."

The commentators can see the situation on the court, and of course Santos and his assistants standing on the sidelines are also very clear.

If they continue to attack inefficiently like this, the Swedish team's defense will only become stronger and stronger, and Portugal's morale will become more and more depressed. In the end, as long as the Swedish team seizes another opportunity, it is likely that Portugal will be the end.

"We can't continue to attack like this!" Assistant coach Valle said beside Santos, "Otherwise it will be very dangerous!"

In world football, countless cases have shown that it is meaningless to bombard with eyes closed, but there are many hidden dangers.

There is a very classic game in the World Cup, which was the quarter-final match between Argentina and Brazil in 90.

At that time, Brazil won all three games in the group stage and easily qualified, while Argentina advanced to the third place in the group. As soon as the two teams played, the Argentine team was completely suppressed.

It seemed that the two teams were not at the same level. The Argentine team seemed powerless to fight back. Under the bombardment of the Samba Army, their defense line fluttered several times.

When the building was about to collapse, goalkeeper Goyechea and defender Ruggieri and others have been persisting. They are all looking forward to something unusual happening to change the situation of being passively beaten.

Until the 81st minute of the game, they waited for that unusual.Of course, this was brought by Maradona.

61380 spectators witnessed the arrival of this magical moment at the Alpi Stadium in Turin.

At that time, Maradona dribbled the ball in the midfield, first realized it in the middle circle and passed Alemão, then dribbled the ball to avoid Dunga's tackle, and then used a fake move to break through Rocha who came from the defense. When two Brazilian players formed a double-team situation, Maradona fell to the ground and passed the ball back to the left. Caniggia, who was unguarded, took the ball and pushed Taffarel to score. .

This pass perfectly embodies Maradona's foot feel, balance and overall vision. This may be the most incredible assist in World Cup history.

In the end, with Caniggia's goal, Argentina eliminated Brazil 1-0 and entered the quarterfinals.

And the final shot ratio was Brazil 22:2 Argentina, Brazil had 2 lintels and 1 post, but still lost...

This kind of scene is one-sided, bombarded indiscriminately but failed to score a goal. In the end, the opponent succeeded in a counterattack. It is often because the dominant side is too violent, blindly trying to attack, pressing the opponent too tightly, causing the opponent Played a defensive state.

On the one hand, the more defensive the better, the other side will become more and more anxious, just thinking about eating the opponent in one bite, and it is easy to make omissions in one's own defense.

If there is a star player on the opposite side, such omissions will be more likely to be caught by the opponent.

90 Argentina has Maradona, and now Sweden also has Ibrahimovic!So it must not be taken lightly.

Although the Swedish team's goal in the first half was not scored by Ibrahimovic, his assist seems to have the shadow of Maradona's assist of the century! ——Although it’s not very enjoyable to watch, at least it’s done like a general!
The Portuguese team obviously has to consider how to deal with this situation now.

Hearing Valle's words, Santos also nodded.

Of course he understands.

Once encountering this situation, usually experienced teams will choose to relax their offensive, retreat, and let the opponent press out to play.

There is a saying that is true, if you want to hit your opponent powerfully, you have to retract your fist first, and then hit it hard, that will be more powerful, otherwise, it will not hurt the opponent at all.

But he also understands that Pan Yi's team is like a spring, if you let go, he will bounce back.

The Swedish team's defense is definitely not the kind of bus in the true sense, but to achieve a dynamic balance through the active running of the players.

If Portugal loosened their grip on the ball, Sweden would immediately bar their fangs and bite the Portuguese hard.

Just like the counterattack in the first half, Sweden obviously took advantage of the Portuguese team's loopholes to play. If they are allowed to play like this again, maybe the Portuguese team's defense will be destroyed.

In fact, as far as Portugal's current defense line is concerned, although they are all stronger than Swedish players in terms of ability, except for Pepe, the others cannot be said to be the world's top players.

Moreover, these four players were gradually combined in this cup and became the current starters. There are also some problems in the tacit understanding of cooperation.

The Swedish team's goal in the first half, isn't it a defensive leak?
Santos chose to focus on offense, but to some extent it was also to cover up the fragility of this defense line.

"You can pull the formation back a little bit, but you must strengthen the counter-attack on the spot. Don't let our opponents control the ball easily!"

Santos said, then glanced at Ronaldo.

At this time, it is obviously most appropriate for the spiritual leader of the Portuguese team to convey the latest tactical instructions, and Ronaldo is obviously happy to do so.

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded at Santos, and then immediately shouted at the field: "You guys! Don't rush to press up, let them come over! If you lose the ball, immediately fight back, don't let them take the ball for more than a second!"

As Real Madrid's top scorer, Ronaldo obviously understands what a team needs most in a counterattack.

Since the Portuguese team is now the main offensive team, the defense line is pressed very high, and a lot of troops are invested in the offense, so the Swedish frontcourt players are also actively participating in the defense, so as not to form a numerical disadvantage.

And once they switch from defense to offense, these frontcourt players need time to move forward.

At this time, if the Swedish team succeeds in intercepting the ball in the middle and back, someone needs to take the ball forward first. This person will often be the midfielder Wayne Bloom or Larsson, which is to give the trident in front Time to make pressure.

At this time, if the Portuguese team makes a quick and high-intensity counterattack against Sweden's midfielder, there is a high probability of grabbing the ball and killing Sweden's counterattack in the cradle.

After all, it is not easy to control the ball itself under the high pressure state of the opponent's intensive on-the-spot counterattack;

If you still want to observe the running position of the counter-attacking players in the frontcourt, and then pass the ball smoothly, there are too few such players.

It can be said that players who can do this are definitely masters. Maybe De Bruyne and Modric can do it.

But the Swedish midfielder has few players who can really hold the ball.

In terms of body, Wayne Bloom is very good, but his ball handling skills are not fine enough, and he is easy to lose when he is under tight pressure.

Larson can run very well and has a fast propulsion speed, but he also has this problem, and his feet are relatively average.

Fosberg's skills in handling the ball are good, and he has enough passing vision, but the problem is that his physical confrontation is too weak, and once he is closely marked and impacted, he will soon lose the ball.

Therefore, Santos's strategy is still very reasonable.

As a result, Sweden's ball speed was immediately affected, which made the Swedish team's counterattack very difficult.

Not only that.

Since the position of the Swedish team to take the ball forward is often in the midfielder, and being intercepted here is undoubtedly a test for Sweden's defense.

Although the Swedish team can quickly retreat to form a defensive system with five backs and prevent the Portuguese team from further penetrating into the penalty area, Nani and Quaresma on the front line still got a lot of shooting opportunities.

As the game situation improved, Santos' face also became better.

But he still secretly praised Pan Yi.

The tenacity and resilience of this Swedish team are too good!
Considering that their staffing is really average-otherwise they won't be unable to hold the ball when they are forced by Portugal-it's even more difficult.

It can be said that Pan Yi is definitely the biggest contributor to the Swedish team's ability to enter the final and reach its current level.

But when Santos was thinking and looked at Pan Yi involuntarily, he found that Pan Yi was as calm as ever and didn't panic at all.

"Stabilize the defense first, I don't believe that the Portuguese can always maintain this high-intensity oppression!" This is what Pan Yi just said to Arteta.

On the court, tactical considerations can be said to be all-round, not just from one angle.

You use high-intensity pressing to make the Swedish team make mistakes, but at the same time you have to pay a price, that is physical fitness.

If everyone is an iron man, then every team will definitely start running crazily from the first second of the game, because this can effectively create a situation where local players play more and play less.

In this way, the per capita running distance of players will definitely increase sharply, to 15 kilometers, 20 kilometers...

But this is obviously unrealistic, just like it is impossible for someone to run 100 meters at a sprint speed of 1000 meters.

Therefore, every oppression tactic also has its time limit.

And Pan Yi believes that his disciple can survive this period of time, he has this confidence!
Then, you can enter "Pan Yi time".

He then used his last trick by substituting!
-
Sure enough, after entering the 70th minute, Pan Yi took the lead in making the first substitution adjustment of the game.

He replaced Guidetti with Durmaz!

The latter performed very well in today's game, but because of his active pressing and returning to defense, some physical problems have obviously appeared.

Durmaz's speed and counterattack ability are excellent, and he can adapt to sprinting back and forth to suppress Portugal's wing.

But this is still a relatively unexpected substitution.

After all, Durmaz, a winger of Turkish-Syrian descent, did not play many games in this European Cup, and only started in the third group match against Belgium.

Anyone who knows this Olympiacos player knows that this should be due to Durmaz's running ability.

He will sometimes appear in the midfield position in the club game. Although his defensive ability is average, it is through his relentless running ability that he wins the favor of the coach.

And he can also play the position of winger at the same time, so that he can reduce his weakness and give full play to his advantages, allowing him to strengthen the defense of the wing.

However, Durmaz is more used to playing as a left winger, so Pan Yi moved Isaac to the right, so that Isaac's speed and body can also cope with the impact of Portugal's left winger Guerrero.

But on the Portuguese side, Santos also responded quickly.

He replaced Guerrero with Cancelo!
This is mainly because Guerrero, as Portugal's main attacker, is indeed a little tired after 70 minutes of fighting.

Another very important reason is that the Swedish team's defense on his side is really impeccable, and Guerrero's spirit seems to be smoothed out.

In this case, it would be better to replace him with the fresh blood Cancelo.

Although Cancelo is a true typical offensive strong and defensive weak, he is fast, has excellent skills at his feet, is very capable of passing people, and has plenty of physical fitness. He is a real defender with a knife, and he can go left and right.

When Portugal has been unable to attack for a long time, it should be a good choice to let Cancelo give full play to his own characteristics to attack Sweden's defense.

"After 70 minutes, both Sweden and Portugal made a match-up substitution. This can also be seen as another confrontation between the two coaches Pan Yi and Santos at the tactical level."

"Judging from the second half of the game, the two coaches restricted each other's tactics to the core. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult for anyone to easily break the deadlock on the field. Therefore, they both want to replace each other. Let's change the situation."

"It's just that it is still difficult for Portugal to break through Sweden's defense. It feels like they lack a fulcrum in front, just like Ibrahimovic did in the Swedish team."

"When Ronaldo is still on the court, his excellent header ability can help the team gain air dominance, which is actually very important for Portugal."

"Once there is a chance to ferry the header in the frontcourt, it can form a bridgehead in the opponent's penalty area. Once the bridgehead can withstand the opponent's defense in front, the teammates behind can immediately follow the fulcrum on both sides. Spread out quickly, form and plug into the attacking echelon."

"Obviously, Nani and Quaresma on the Portuguese striker can't do this. I believe Santos himself is very clear about this."

"So in the face of the Swedish team's attack like a copper wall, they seem powerless, and now they even have to fear the opponent's counterattack, which must make Santos feel helpless."

"Will the Swedish team take advantage of Portugal's prolonged attack and start a counterattack? Now that the game is approaching 80 minutes, are we going to usher in an overtime match or even a penalty shootout..."

While the on-site commentator was talking, the fans and everyone in the stands suddenly saw that on the Swedish team's bench, Kjellstrom left and went to the sidelines to warm up.

This immediately caused an uproar among all the Swedish fans in the stands.

"The Swedish team is going to make a substitution!" The on-site commentator also shouted in surprise, "We saw that Kjellstrom was warming up on the sidelines. Is Pan Yi planning to substitute him?"

This is not only the doubt of the on-site commentator, I believe it is also the doubt of everyone.

That is, is it feasible to hand over the task of breaking the deadlock on the court to Schelstrom?
The 34-year-old former Arsenal player has already passed the peak of his career, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play in the Swiss league now.

At the beginning of this European Cup, although he was used by Pan Yi as the main force, he was replaced after only half of the game, and then officially became a substitute.

This also shows that his current physical condition can no longer meet Pan Yi's tactical needs that require high-intensity running and defense.

But now, when the European Cup has reached the final and 80 minutes have passed, Pan Yi wants to replace him. What is going on?
If you take into account Durmaz who was brought on just 10 minutes ago...

It's even more confusing.

Whether it is Durmaz or Kjellstrom, they are all players who played less time before, but Pan Yi wants to replace them all at such a critical moment in the game?

Even the most loyal Swedish fans can't help but be confused at this time.

At this time, Pan Yi knew it well.

He actually didn't want to drag the game to overtime more than Santos, and wanted to end the battle within 90 minutes.

After all, this Swedish team is not Chelsea. They have not undergone long-term physical training, and they do not have the physical reserves like Chelsea.

In the case of always guarding against death, the physical fitness of the Swedish team may even be consumed faster than the Portuguese.

If it really enters overtime, uncontrollable factors will increase, and in the end it can only be decided by God, Buddha, or wizard...

And for the last ten or so minutes of the game, even the veteran Schelstrom is good enough.

What Pan Yi likes about him is mainly because of his ability to run without the ball, coupled with his excellent technique, delicateness, passing and control can meet the needs, and he has a good level of kicking the ball, which guarantees the success of organizing the attack. Rate.

Schelstrom's career highlight moments were spent in Lyon, and in the Lyon team that won consecutive Ligue [-] championships, he was the real core midfielder!

And he scurry around like a strong loach on the field, he doesn't suffer from hitting people, he can still run after being bumped, and he won't let the team's defensive ability drop too much in a short period of time.

He also has a strong shot stunt. On the eve of the 2006 World Cup, his strong shot on the training ground even injured his teammate and the main goalkeeper of the Swedish national team, Isaacson, which caused the latter to miss the World Cup. a match.

Letting him go up and form a "double bombardment goal" with Forsberg can also provide a good offensive idea in the current relatively passive situation.

Taking a step back, Kjellstrom is still a very good penalty shooter even if he really got to the penalty shootout...

"After you go up, pay attention to holding the ball, and then always pay attention to the running positions of Isaac and Durmaz on both sides, and look for them whenever you have a chance..." Pan Yi gave the final instructions to Schelstrom.

Kjellstrom's body is not as good as it used to be, but at least his skills are considered fine in today's Swedish team.

And he has advantages that other midfielders don't have, that is, his ability to run without the ball and accurate passing ability become more and more astute as he accumulates experience.

Or it can be said that Kjellstrom has always been a very comprehensive all-round midfielder with excellent coordination awareness and off-ball running.

Otherwise, how could he be favored by Arsenal, which pays the most attention to technical ability?Didn't kick it out there though.

During a throw-in, the referee whistled for a substitution on the sidelines.

No. 9 Schelstrom came on the field and replaced the main midfielder, No. 16 Wayne Bloom! (end of this chapter)
