Chapter 14 Familiar formula, unexpected teamwork

Porto U17's final match in the Triwizard Tournament comes two days later against Benfica U17.

That's a really talented superteam.

The first brother of the Portuguese youth training!
Genius of geniuses!

Coach Simon felt a little nervous, even though he now has the super trump card of Martin.

After all, football is a team sport.

After all, individual efforts cannot be compared with the team.

However, the existence of Martin can increase the probability of the team winning to a new level.

Dominating the entire right flank means that the team's tactics and formation positions can be greatly adjusted.

In addition, Martin's aura of being the one who is the only one in charge will also bring strong self-confidence to the players.

How much a person achieves depends more on whether his heart is strong enough!

With Martin, the confidence of the team members has also been greatly increased!
But then again, whether it can play a role depends on Martin's specific performance in the game.

Once the momentum starts to turn the entire right lane into its own back garden, the whole team will be greatly motivated.

Beating Benfica U17 will be easy!
After Simon explained the tactics of the game, he put his right hand on Martin's right shoulder and said solemnly: "Martin, the most critical point of whether we can beat Benfica U17 lies with you. If we can completely restrict the left attack of Benfica U17, we There is no doubt that you will win, do you have the confidence to do it?"

Martin turned his head and looked not far away, where is the base camp of Benfica U17.

Among these players, only Renato Sanchez, Ruben Dias and Gedson Fernandez are familiar.

None of the others had an impression, which means that none of them could be kicked out in the end.

At the age of 16 and 17, the three hopeful stars who are highly expected by Benfica fans look very young, and only Renato Sanchez has a maturity beyond his age (he looks older).

"Certainly confident."

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked down at the captain's armband worn on his left upper arm, and nodded with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he impassionedly asked his teammates loudly: "Do you have the confidence to beat Benfica U17 here?"

"Of course!"

Felix, Ricardinho, Madi Queta and three Diogo and other players shouted in unison.

Simon looked at Martin with more and more satisfaction, not to mention gradually fulfilling his talent, and showing strong leadership.

If he regains his former vigor earlier, he is now the backbone of the U19 and even U23 teams, and may even be promoted to the first team like Ruben Neves.

On the other end, the Benfica U17 players didn't pay much attention to the Porto U17 players, even though Maffei defeated the Portuguese Sporting U17 in this stadium three days ago.

Benfica's youth training has been recognized as the number one in Portugal in the past few years, and various championship titles have won soft hands.

The players are honored, and they are the proud sons of heaven, geniuses among geniuses, and have the capital of arrogance.

After explaining the tactics of the game, head coach Herder Cristovao cheered the players with applause, and said: "This team has lost to us for eight consecutive years. I firmly believe that after the game, it will be nine. Streak!"

"victory!"

The players shouted in unison.

……

Benfica U17 sent the strongest lineup in theory. Except for the goalkeeper Fabio Duarte who is weaker than Diogo Costa, the other three lines are stronger than Porto U17.

433 formation, with Portugal U17 national youth main defender Ruben Dias in the backcourt, and his partner Diogo Cabral is quite stable.

There are also Diogo Mendes and Renato Sanchez in the midfield, and Gedson Fernandez, Eddie Semedo and Jota Jr. charge forward and destroy the city.

If it is the former Porto U17, there will definitely be great scruples.

Now with Martin giving them enough confidence, everyone wants to give the pretentious Portuguese youth training best U17 youth team a blow in this stadium!
Martin served as the captain and walked at the forefront of the team.

Then there is the most common handshake part of the game, which means that friendship comes first and competition comes second.

But the arrogance of the Benfica U17 players made the Porto U17 players feel a little uncomfortable.

It is also true that the confident Porto U17 has greater determination to defeat the mighty Benfica U17.

"beep~"

The whistle sounded, and the 2014 Triwizard Tournament U17 Championship, the match between Benfica U17 Youth Team VS Porto U17 Youth Team officially started.

Porto U17 took the lead in the kick-off, and the head coach Simon formulated an offensive routine with Martin as the core before the game, which was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The passing speed is not fast, and the movement between players is very frequent.

Benfica U17 players are indeed geniuses, but it is difficult for players of this age to have 100% tactical discipline and are easy to be led by the nose.

Held knew that Porto U17's offense mainly relied on Martin + Felix, and the starting point of the offense was also on the right, so he also formulated corresponding defensive tactics before the game.

However, the players' defensive positions will always shift back and forth with Porto U17's offense, inadvertently exposing fleeting defensive gaps.

After a series of offensive preparations, Estrela, who attacked the left flank, unexpectedly received the football and dunked the ball back.

From the corner of the eye, I noticed that Benfica's U17 defensive center of gravity was completely tilted to the right.

Including the left back, left central midfielder and left forward are all attracted to the center or right, which means that the defensive left is almost wide open.

Martin, who was originally on the same level as the defense line, pressed forward quietly, but when he saw the football was passed to Estrela, who was in charge of dispatching the long pass, he decisively started.

"Pay attention to the defense on the left!"

Head coach Herder suddenly noticed that the Porto U17's familiar offensive routine was suddenly offered and blurted out.

His voice was loud enough, and there were no tens of thousands of fans shouting violently like a tsunami, so the players on the field could hear it clearly.

How can a person's movement speed be confused with the movement of a football?
Estrela sent a more accurate wide-range diagonal long pass in the attacking left rib.

"Hmm~ The pass was good this time."

Considering that Estrela's long pass is not particularly stable, Martin followed up at full speed after judging the long pass with a certain amount of advance.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

However, it is impossible to prevent it.

It was too late for Benfica U17's Dutch left-back Flympong to come out to defend, and Martin still had enough time to observe his teammates' running positions while running.

Before the game, Herder mentioned that Martin and Felix were connected. When Martin could not be defended, captain Ruben Dias focused on Felix.

However, Martin didn't want to go to Felix at all. He knew that Benfica U17 must have a coach who watched the last game against Sporting Portugal U17 and would impose restrictions in this game.

Offensive routines are dead, but people are alive!

If the perimeter offensive personnel are too far away from the goal, the defense will naturally be neglected. It is too late to wait until the offense is substantiated before moving.

Martin made a small mistake in raising his leg to stop the ball while running, and the distance to stop the ball was more than one meter farther than expected.

Fortunately, Frimpong is a little far away, so the impact is not too great.

Coincidentally, it is the unexpected opportunity brought by the slightly longer stopping distance.

At the same time, he shook Frimpong, who was pulled out to defend.

Observing for a second longer, Martin saw that Felix's running position completely attracted the attention of the two central defenders, Ruben Dias and Diogo Cabral.

Madi Queta, who has limited future achievements, made a conscious stop and turned a corner, handing over the middle of the penalty area to Felix.

Martin probably guessed Madi Queta's intentions.

Turn to the far end of the restricted area!
This is Xiao Hei's habitual running habit displayed on the training ground.

With a firm idea, Martin swung his right foot without hesitation, and the ball touched the inside of the instep.

The kicked football rose up from the right, and flew over before Frimpong, who hastily pulled out to defend and was shaken, was in place.

The football flying into the air passed two meters in front of Ruben Dias, Felix and Cabral with an obvious instep arc from outside to inside.

The tall Ruben Dias looked at the ball and tried to stretch his legs to reach it, but he didn't touch the football.

Goalkeeper Duarte looked at the football as it moved, and was shocked.

Oops!

It was too late for right-back Ricardo Mangas to get close to Madi Queta, and he could only watch helplessly as the opponent completed a kick...

Cross.

Madi Queta is very self-aware, knowing that the high probability of swiping his left foot at the left front of the small penalty area will result in an anti-aircraft gun.

So it was rare for him to be smart for a while when he was physically fit. He used the arch of his left foot to pass the football that fell to knee height horizontally to the penalty spot.

Half inverted triangle pass!
No one thought that Madi Queta would pass the ball with a certain shooting angle, and everyone froze in place.

Ricardinho's ghostly presence is where the pass lands.

I saw him adjusting his step while running, supporting his body with his right foot, and pointing towards the ball with the tight arch of his left foot.

Goalkeeper Fabio Duarte looks at the football changing direction and heading towards the bottom right corner of the goal (GK perspective)...

Just as his body was getting ready to hit the ground, the football quickly swept towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Almost rubbing against the inner edge of the left goal post (from the perspective of the attacking side) and crashing into the snow-white net...

Martin, who sent the cross, had already thought that Madi Queta would fire anti-aircraft guns with a high probability, and even thought that the probability of hitting was extremely small to complete the goal.

Unexpectedly, he saw Ricardinho and stepped into the middle of the penalty area...

This ball... the pass is so damn beautiful!
The head coach Simon did not expect such a beautiful goal. None of the offensive tactics formulated and practiced before the game had such a goal.

The performance of the players on the spot is really good!
