Extraordinary coach

"Attack!"

"Counterattack!"

"This is our home court, attack with all your might! Don't hold back, it's frustrating."

Seeing Nice taking over and attacking, Thessaloniki fans couldn't help but want the home team to attack.

But in a game, how can fans just shout a few words and then attack?

The players on the field of Thessaloniki wanted to attack, but they really couldn't do it.

The high pressure of Nice's frontcourt pressing brought them too much pressure. And the offensive threat of Nice made them a little breathless.

Thessaloniki occasionally attacked half the field, but rarely shot. Even if they could shoot, it was often a long shot with little threat.

This situation made Thessaloniki play very passively in the early stage of the game. There was no trace of the high spirits before the game.

Their head coach Ivic couldn't sit still. Only ten minutes into the game, he was already standing on the sidelines, anxiously directing.

"Keep it steady. Hold the ball and organize the attack."

"Shimilot, pay attention to controlling the rhythm first."

"Keep your eyes on defense, be aggressive, Illio!..."

With Ivic's command, Thessaloniki began to change. Although they still couldn't play a threatening attack, they did play aggressively.

When Salah got the ball on the right, he was about to break through when he was directly knocked down by the Thessaloniki defender.

This disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Nice team, and at the same time only received a verbal warning from the referee.

After seeing the players start to play aggressively as he requested, Ivic sat back in his seat with satisfaction.

In his opinion, with aggression, the unfavorable situation on the field can be gradually reversed. Ivic wanted to applaud the player who violated Salah.

This foul was clean and neat. Aggression, that's good!

"This foul is of great tactical value. Salah is the offensive core of the Nice team. If he is allowed to carry the ball, the threat is too great."

"This can interrupt their offensive rhythm. At most, it gives them a set-piece opportunity."

"It's no big deal. Anyway, our team is afraid of other things, but not set-pieces. High-altitude balls are our advantage."

"I think so. While many players from the Nice team are pressing forward, as long as we defend and counterattack, it will definitely be a good opportunity."

The Thessaloniki fans in the stands didn't care much about giving Nice a set-piece opportunity. They didn't think it would be a threat.

And this time, Salah took the penalty for the set-piece opportunity that they didn't care about. He directly made a 45-degree cross and hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

By the way, Thessaloniki is indeed a team with strong high-altitude ability. The average height alone exceeds 183cm, and there are really tall people in the entire penalty area.

But among the tall and strong men of the Thessaloniki team, Balotelli jumped high and shook his head like a lion, overpowering the 192cm tall Malezas next to him.

"Bang!"

Balotelli's powerful header instantly made the ball hit the goal. The Thessaloniki goalkeeper didn't even have time to react.

GOAL!!!!!

One to zero!

Nice is leading!

"Yeah, Balotelli, a beautiful header!!" The people on the Nice team immediately became excited.

Sun Yi sat there and clapped happily. Then he smiled and showed a finger, "The first one."

"Oh, SHIIT!!"

"Isn't it our strong point to defend against high balls?"

"What's going on? So many people are watching, Malezas is so tall, but Balotelli still won the header. It's really speechless!"

The Thessaloniki fans in the stands felt so depressed.

And their head coach Ivic was even more depressed. He slammed the chair with a look of resignation.

"Damn! This luck is on their side."

High-altitude balls are their advantage, but this time they fell behind in headers. Ivic was really depressed. And falling behind, even by just one goal, was obviously unacceptable to him.

He immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly.

"Press forward. All of you press forward. Don't shrink back. Don't give them the initiative."

"Stay aggressive, not only in defense, but also in offense."

Aggression is a good thing on the court.

Being able to play aggressively, whether in defense or offense, often puts the opponent at a psychological disadvantage. It allows a team to suppress the opponent in momentum.

Ivic's requirements are actually very good. Unfortunately, he overestimated his players.

With Nice clearly having an advantage in strength, Thessaloniki can only maintain its aggressiveness in defense.

As for offensive aggression, forget it. Nice's high-pressure pressing is more aggressive. It was difficult for Thessaloniki to organize an attack.

Without offensive aggression, it was difficult to create a threatening attack.

With defensive aggression, the number of fouls continued to increase.

When the game reached the 30th minute, Thessaloniki once again violated the ball holder of Nice on the wing.

However, this time it was not Leon Lahe, but Pléa on the left.

The set-piece opportunity on the left was given to Seri.

Seeing that Nice had this set-piece opportunity again, Ivic immediately came to the sidelines and shouted: "Keep a close eye on everyone. Don't give them the chance to head the ball again."

The Thessaloniki fans in the stands were not too worried.

"Last time we were careless, this time our players are obviously more careful. As long as we focus, we will definitely have an advantage in headers."

"I believe that Nice's set-piece this time will not be too threatening."

As soon as the voice fell, Seri took the set-piece.

Seri has always been a player who scores with long passes in Nice. He often uses long passes to help his players score goals in the game.

This time, Seri's long pass also worked.

The cross he kicked was flat and fast, and it flew into the penalty area around the bend. Then it was Balotelli again, who once again overpowered Malezas and another defender in the crowd and gave a lion's head shake.

Another "bang."

The goalkeeper could only watch the ball hit the far corner of the goal. Once again, the goalkeeper felt the bitterness of being out of reach.

GOAL!!!!

Two to zero.

Nice expanded its advantage.

The people of Nice cheered again. Dio couldn't help but say: "Yeah, Balotelli again, and his header again. He is really the big baby of our Nice team. His head is getting more and more valuable now. I can't help but want to go up and kiss his head."

And Sun Yi still smiled and clapped, then showed two fingers.

"The second one!"
