Iron Man on the pitch

At the beginning of the second half, Porto indeed gave up the attack and slowly recovered the formation.

This is not because Porto gave up the game. On the one hand, after the attack on the half-time, even after the break, the Porto players still failed to recover their physical strength to a sufficient level.

On the other hand, the head coach of Porto also discovered the current problems of Sporting Lisbon. Although the midfield control is very strong, it is not good to break the intensive defense. Moreover, once the formation is pressed forward and is hit and counterattacked, the midfielder will not have time to return to defense. The unsatisfactory defense line will be shaking against the star striker of Porto.

He calculated that Sporting Lisbon could not focus on playing defensive counterattacks like last season. He also heard a little about what happened inside Sporting Lisbon in the offseason. Sporting Lisbon has already shouted out this season's demand. With the slogan of winning the championship across the board, they will naturally not be satisfied with a small victory of 1 goal.

It seems that Paul Bento was able to shout such a slogan. It is the courage given to him by the young man wearing the No. 7 jersey on the court. A player who is excellent in offense and willing to work hard on the defensive end, and has free kicks and long-range shooting skills. Why didn’t my scout find it?

Under the leadership of Li Ling, Sporting Lisbon's midfield has undergone a qualitative transformation, and the offense and defense ends are more than a little stronger than the first half of last season.

But, if I bypass the midfield, how should you deal with it?

Sure enough, Sporting Lisbon faced the Porto team who had made up their minds to defend, and for a while was like a dog biting a hedgehog, and had no idea what to do.

"João Moutinho made a 45-degree cross, and Roland headed the ball to clear the ball."

"Li Ling made a straight pass, and Ledesson did not lean on the defensive player and was destroyed first."

"Pedro Mendes made a pick-up pass, oh, it's a pity that Li Ling was unable to hit the front part in the face of a double attack."

Alfonso Pereira's commentary was filled with regret.

Sporting Lisbon's attack was fruitless, but Porto occasionally seized the opportunity to counterattack, which made Sporting Lisbon's defense line panic.

"Bruno Alvez cleared the ball with big feet, Hulk gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Carrico, headed the ball." Juan Silva's voice was very nervous.

"Oh no, Falcao controlled the football before Anderson Polga and broke through... It was dangerous. Fortunately Anderson Polga did not lose his position, otherwise the ball would be a one-on-one."

"Sports Lisbon quickly returned to defense, Joao Moutinho came up to attack Falcao, and made a clean and neat steal! Good ball! The young captain once again fought back the ball, and he handed the football to Li Ling, Li Ling slowly advances."

Paul Bento looked at his turbulent defense line, and although he was up and down, he could only grit his teeth and stand firm.

There are two difficulties facing him. One is that after seeing the team's performance last season, the management of Sporting Lisbon has put forward requirements for the team's performance this season, and he also needs a Excellent results to ensure that you are in charge of the national team, so in a match against a strong rival like Porto, you must strive to win the game and win beautifully.

Second, he clearly knows that the key to his great success this season is Li Ling's performance. Through communicating with Figo and others, and he was once an excellent player, Paul Bento understood that Li Ling needed to control the ball more and accumulate as much game experience as possible in order to allow Li Ling to grow rapidly .

Genius players cannot use common sense. Li Ling is the genius who appears in front of him. It is worth the price of a draw for Li Ling's growth. And the greater the player, the more unimaginable strength he is, under such adversity, he will often burst out with miracles.

After about 20 minutes of the second half, the physical fitness problems of the Porto players were alleviated to a certain extent. The most important thing is that the main attack on Sporting Lisbon in the first half of the second half was Sporting Lisbon. The opponent consumed more than them, and the physical fitness between the two sides. The gap is not big anymore.

As the Porto head coach waved his hand to attack, Porto rushed towards the goal of Sporting Lisbon.

Although Sporting Lisbon kicked the opponent in the second half, Porto's occasional counterattacks always cause big trouble for Sporting Lisbon's defenders, causing the physical energy of Sporting Lisbon's defenders to consume a lot, which makes Sporting Lisbon. The team's subsequent defense made a lot of mistakes.

Seeing this, Li Ling changed positions with Joao Moutinho and then dragged the back and protected him.

There is no way, who made Li Ling's height the tallest in the starting lineup? Faced with the sudden attack from Porto, he went from the airLi Ling came back to assist in the three-dimensional strike on the ground, and the air defense effect was the best, which was the most appropriate choice.

However, Sporting Lisbon's 4-5-1 lineup was originally based on defense, so facing Porto's attack at this moment, in addition to the panic when changing offensive and defensive roles at the beginning, he defended without missing a lot after adapting.

After about 75 minutes of the game, Paul Bento took the lead in substitution, replaced the tiring full-back Vukcevic, and replaced a defensive midfielder Adrien Silva, the formation of Sporting Lisbon Although it is still 4-5-1, it actually looks more like 4-4-1-1. Li Ling was liberated and became a single midfielder.

After all, Porto is playing at home, and their scores are still behind at this moment, but after 20 minutes of rest, they are confident that they will win a goal within the remaining 25 minutes of the game. After all, this is only the first round of the league, and it is acceptable to draw, so Porto team does not have much psychological pressure, both the head coach and the player.

"Porto's Alvaro Pereira made a cross from the bottom! Rui Patricio attacked in advance and hit the football with both fists!"

"Raul Mereles and Falcao made a two-pass-one wall-to-one cooperation, and João Moutinho appeared on the path of football and cleared the ball!"

"Falcao's long shot! He missed!"

"Christian Rodriguez also made a long shot. Are you hitting the plane?!"

“The Porto mentality has become irritated, which is not a good sign for them, but it is good news for me.”

"Faced with Hulk's long shot, Miguel Veroso blocked the football with his own body!"

"Now it's the guys in Porto's turn to be anxious! Ah haha!" Alfonso Pereira laughed out loud, and suddenly his laughter frozen, as if it was cut off by life.

"Boat! Bang back! In the 85th minute of the game, Li Ling intercepted the ball from Beluschi's feet and drove straight in!"

"Li Ling and Ledesson also made a wall-to-wave interception, bypassing Bruno Alves' interception!"

"There is no one around Li Ling! This is a one-on-one!"

"Li Ling dunked past the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal!"

"Goal!!!" Alfonso Pereira roared, her anxiety was gone, and the 3:1 score ensured the victory of the game.

"It's hard to imagine that after experiencing such a fierce battle, Li Ling still had such abundant physical energy to drive the ball in the 85th minute of the game, and his speed was still so fast!" Juan Silva was also shocked. You must not read through the information in your hand.

Sporting Lisbon, which led 2 goals, will implement the defense to the end. After surviving the Porto team's crazy attack in the last few minutes, they scored all three points from the away game.
