Chapter 598 Countermeasures(1/2)
"Maybe this is a good thing?"
Waller did become interested in Mourinho's appearance.
"Didn't Van Gaal mess up the tactic just because of him?"
"A coach with inexperienced assistants will only disrupt the coach's thinking, and it will not leave much time for Porto coach Santos. I think the effect is counterproductive."
"This..." Zheng Zhi choked. What Woller said was actually quite reasonable. There is no use for sharpening a gun in the last battle.
However, the opponent's name is Mourinho. The most important thing is that Santos's technical and tactical style is actually similar to Mourinho's technical and tactical style. Porto's tactical style is also different from Barcelona's tactical style. In comparison, Porto's tactical adjustment ability is stronger and easier to integrate with Mourinho's tactical ideas.
"Boss, Porto's style of play is also a defensive counterattack, which is different from Barcelona."
"Well, I understand. But I think that if they mess up like this, it should actually be more harmful than good. For us, it may be more beneficial than bad?"
...
Waller still didn't believe that an inexperienced assistant could cause any storm. Although he still listened to Zheng Zhi's opinion, he didn't believe in any accidents.
Zheng Zhiming understood that as a player, he could not point fingers at the head coach's arrangement. If he were not the core of the team, Waller might not have listened to him. However, in private, he was not as confident as Waller and left Mourinho behind.
It is impossible not to be careful, even if you remind your teammates.
He kept recalling everything about Mourinho in his mind, and assuming that if the coach of Porto was Mourinho, how would he send troops to set up his troops?
Porto is a bit like the Inter Milan team that year? There are Jadel, Capcho, Deco in the middle, George Costa and Secretario in the back defense, Baia, goalkeeper, right-back and central defender are all the main players in Portugal.
So, can we regard Leverkusen as Barcelona, which was the most prosperous in that year?
If it was Mourinho, he would definitely regard Ronaldinho in the frontcourt as the most important target, so that Ronaldinho would be under key control.
Zheng Zhi began to analyze the problems from Mourinho's standpoint and analyze Mourinho's defense and counterattack. From offense to defense, from defense to counterattack.
...
...
Finally, he started to communicate with his teammates on the training ground.
"Ronaldinho,"
"You have not been excited enough in the last few games. Are you worried about being injured?"
"If you are worried about this or that, then you can't play. The team doesn't need you like this. The left side lacks your breakthrough, and the team's offensive ability has dropped significantly."
He first talked to Ronaldinho.
"I just don't want to be injured in the German Cup or the league..." Ronaldinho stuck out his tongue, "I won't be rude in the Champions League, because this is my real battlefield."
"Cao, you're too shameless."
"This attitude is not professional. As long as we stand on the court, we should do our best, otherwise you will disappoint everyone. I hope you won't back down this time."
"Ha, I just stayed committed to playing the Champions League!"
"Ronaldinho, I have a premonition that the opponent will focus on you in the game. It is not just one person staring at you, but maybe two or even three. They will not let you get the ball comfortably, and they will even use rough fouls to deal with you." Zheng Zhi said seriously, "At that time, you must not be obsessed with someone to challenge them."
"You know what our goal is?"
"I know." Ronaldinho nodded seriously, "I will pass the ball as soon as possible, don't worry."
“But that’s not enough.”
"You have to reduce the ball in the middle and backcourt to prevent the ball from being cut off and they hit a quick counterattack. You have to press the breakthrough point in front of their big penalty area!"
"Once you lose the ball, you must counter-rob!"
"Resistance, do you understand? Even if you act like a person, it is better than not."
"clear!"
"Well, just understand, our goal is more than that!"
Both of them had a glimmer of light because the target was the same.
Similarly, Ribery's side is similar, and Zheng Zhi's explanation is similar, but it is estimated that Ribery's defensive firepower will not be as strong as Ronaldinho's side.
Another concern is of course the line of defense.
Porto will definitely make a big fuss with the central defender combination composed of Novotney and Lucio.
Woller's small tactics are not arranged properly, but Zheng Zhi can communicate with his teammates secretly.
“Partner,”
"The other party has a very fast guy, and I think he must like to find you."
Novotney rolled his eyes immediately, "Why must I look for me? Can't I look for Lucio?"
"He won't give the other party a chance to turn around."
"You turned around a little slowly. That Capjo must like to swim on your side. Porto's counterattack is quite sharp. Once they have played the top shot and counterattack, they will definitely find a way to find a breakthrough on your side."
"Don't worry, I will block his sprint route before he starts!"
"I hope so~"
Zheng Zhi smiled and then started chatting with Lucio, "Lucy, Jadel is also a Brazilian player. I believe you have a certain understanding of him, right?"
“I know very well!”
Lucio nodded seriously.
"He claims to be Ronaldo's third substitute, but unfortunately he is rarely recruited into the national team."
Jadel won the European Golden Boot Award with 38 goals in 1998, but this almost godlike figure has almost no foothold in the Brazilian national team. Even Ronaldo's substitute, he can only rank in the third place. The first is Edmunddo, the second is Elber, and the third is him...
In fact, he was selected for the Brazilian national team under the age of 20 in 1993 and won the 1993 World Youth Championship held in Australia with the team.
However, Jadel was not valued by the national senior team. Not only did he not participate in the World Cup, he also performed mediocrely in a limited number of national team matches, representing the Brazilian national team 10 times and scoring only 1 goal. But this tragic player does not mean that he is not strong, but that the Brazilian national team's forward is too strong. He has proved himself in the Portuguese Super League and has thrown an olive branch to him by a large number of clubs.
This year, it is very likely to win the Portuguese Super League best scorer for three consecutive times, and even win the European Golden Boot Award again...
The Brazilian has scored 50 goals in 45 games!
What is this concept? Even if Ronaldo is dragged out, it may not be...
"He is a terrifying goal-scoring machine, he is an all-round killer! He can score goals in any way." Lucio was obviously very afraid of Jadel's name, and was well-known.
"Well, you're very prepared for this."
"So you have to stare at him."
"The boss's layout is not as detailed as you do. Are you worried that you are too worried?"
"Porto...maybe it's completely different from what we imagined." Zheng Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Emerson. There was another guy who had to be careful.
"Rosa,"
"When we take turns to attack, once the opponent turns from defense to offense, if anyone gets closer to No. 29, he must go up and follow him as soon as possible."
"Oh, I know, Brazilian, but I don't have much fame."
"Yes, I don't have much fame, but I'm very strong. His style of play is actually somewhat similar to yours, simple and unpretentious. You are strong on the defensive end, he is strong on the offensive end, maybe... he has a more balanced offense and defense?"
Deco was indeed unfamous when he was in Brazil, and the big clubs didn't look down on him at all, but now Porto is playing very well. If he followed Mourinho later, he would become the world's top midfielder.
"What?"
"Zheng!"
"It's too much. How could he be better than me? Am I not omnipotent? I'm just an outstanding performance in defense covers up my offensive talent!"
Emerson was dissatisfied.
"You really insulted me. I am already a member of the Brazilian national team. Which onion is Deco?"
Zheng Zhi's comparison hit Emerson's self-esteem. He followed Brazil to the World Cup at the age of 22, and he was wearing the No. 11 jersey! Deco, one year younger, almost no one is interested in Brazil. Now Zheng Zhi says Deco is more offensive and defensive than him?
Anyway, he is quite unhappy now.
"Rosa, you can tell if you fight on the court. Well, if you want to prove that you are better than him, show your skills!"
“Emerson:…
...
...
Porto first held a pre-match press conference at 3 pm on Wednesday. Head coach Santos attended with the team's No. 1 star Jadel.
Santos kept praising Leverkusen.
"In my opinion, Leverkusen is the strongest team in Europe this year. Look at how many strong teams they have defeated so far. In contrast, Porto has been relying on luck to this day. They are too strong and have almost no opponents. The players in the team are all talented, like an endless mine to be mined."
"Porto has little chance in front of them."
"But although our chances of winning are very small, it does not mean we will sit and wait for death. We will contribute a drifting offensive battle here, and we will try our best to win away goals!"
"We have the best attacker in Europe, yes, it's the one next to me. Before this game, he had scored 50 goals, and he was not in good shape in Europe. If UEFA hadn't set the Portuguese Super League goal coefficient to 1.5, he would have won the Golden Boot Award again. Of course, he is now at the top of the Champions League scorer list with 10 goals, which is enough to say everything."
