Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 100 Transmission
Today, Porto's two wingers, Ricardo Quaresma and Herder Postiga, are Porto's two impact arrows. They have a slightly different position from Benfica's Simao and Ronaldo, but The effect is similar.

It can be said that the performance of these four players on both sides will directly determine the outcome of the two teams.

Of course, the Portuguese team's frontcourt formation is not rigid. The country's central and frontcourt players all have a distinct characteristic. Fans often see the two Portuguese teams constantly entangled with each other on the wing, either left or right. Relatively, there are not many attacks in the center, which are generally only used for ball possession and transfer.

※※※

At 20:45, at the whistle of the referee Moras, the game officially started.

In fact, as the game progressed, fans of both sides discovered an interesting phenomenon. Both teams put their main attack direction on the left side of their respective teams, and used the center as an auxiliary.

Benfica's left side is Simao, he is of course the first main attack point, and Ronando supports in the middle.

Similarly, among Porto's two wingers, No. 10 Ricardo Quaresma's skills are superior to other players. He is also the team's first offensive point. · Cunha is used as a support, while Hélder Postiga on the right uses his speed and impact to grab the neutral position, waiting for a pass from his teammate and rushing into the penalty area to shoot.

Similar playing styles and similar technical and tactical levels made the two teams fall into an evenly matched battle from the very beginning.

"The left winger No. 20 of the visiting team Benfica, Simao Sabrosa, easily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and No. 6 Francisco Costinha stepped forward to intercept. This is a contest between a pair of national team teammates!"

"Francisco Costinha is the pinnacle of Porto's defense. He is often used as the first barrier to intercept the opponent's offensive core. This player is decisive and fierce with accurate judgment. He is tall and long-legged, which is indispensable for Portugal. A great defensive midfielder, he was one of the main defensive midfielders of the Portuguese national team in the European Cup in 2000 and 2004, and he was also a loyal servant of Porto in the glorious period of 2003~2004."

"Simão Sabrosa made a quick stop and change direction! The experienced Francisco Costinha was not fooled!"

"As a partner of the national team, Francisco Costinha is very familiar with the small captain of Benfica. He is one of the few players in the Portuguese Super League who can effectively restrain Simao Sabrosa one-on-one. "

"Benfica #22 Cristiano Ronaldo coming up! #18 Nuno Maniche defending him!"

"Simão score! Ronaldo... oh! Hitting the wall two to one... Instead of trying to dribble past the defensively strong Nuno Maniche, Benfica's No. 22 Ronaldo chose to push the ball. See Come on, this young player is not too confident in his skills at his feet, he just plays a synergy in the middle..."

The commentator of the Porto Dragon Stadium, of course, would not be polite to a rookie like Ronando. When he saw that Ronando was afraid to dribble, he immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Ronando didn't care about this, he didn't even frown.

Of course, Ronaldo is not afraid of the former Benfica captain "Madman" Maniche, but thinks that good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. First observe the strength of Porto, find the opponent's defensive weakness, and then make a sudden effort. Anyway, the game time is limited. In 90 minutes, there are plenty of opportunities to attack. For the first attack, of course, Simao should test the waters. This is also to avoid ignorance of Porto, making big mistakes, and putting himself in a passive position.

On the court, Simao received a push from Ronando, rushed past the defense of veteran Francisco Costinha, and approached the upper right corner of Porto's penalty area.

Then, facing Porto's right back No. 3 Peter Emmanuel's attack, Simão passed the ball to the inside of the penalty area, where it was forward Nuno Gomez.

However, when Porto's defense line is very complete, it is difficult for Nuno Gomez to grab a suitable shot. After he stopped the ball, he was pressed by Porto captain No. 2 Jorge Costa. The body shifted Nuno Gomez's center of gravity, and another central defender No. 22, Jurcas Setaridis rushed forward and destroyed the ball.

Benfica's first attack failed.

This attack is a good illustration of the strength comparison between the two teams. Benfica has two great attackers who have the ability to attack the opponent's penalty area. However, Porto's defense is very stable. Their back line and midfielder cooperate closely. It is difficult to be completely penetrated.

Offensive and defensive changes, Porto also launched an attack from the left. No. 10 Ricardo Quaresma took the ball across the half, and suddenly made a long pass to South African striker No. 77 Benny McCarthy. Benny McCarthy was double-teamed by the retreating Fernandez and centre-back Ricardo Rocha and could only pass the ball out. Hélder Postiga tried to run into the penalty area after receiving the ball, but it was already done. Ze Roy, who was ready, rushed to interfere and used a tackle to destroy the ball.

The conventional attacks of both sides ended in failure!have equal shares!

In fact, this is also the reason why it is difficult to play well in the Portuguese Super League. The offensive routines of the two sides are very similar. Unless one player suddenly has a flash of inspiration, otherwise, the opponent's back line has long been ready. It is very difficult for Song to get the chance to hit the goal with his kick.

Under normal circumstances, two Portuguese Super League teams with similar strengths will grind slowly in this way, waiting for the opponent to lose their temper, or a sudden unexpected opportunity to cause a big change in the situation on the field before they will be disrupted. This regular offensive rhythm allows the game to enter a more intense stage.

This is a painful fact. To a certain extent, the Portuguese Super League is a Chinese Super League game with a higher technical level.

There are often wonderful performances by players on the court, but the actual effect is not good. It belongs to a relatively slow-paced league.

However, all of this is on the premise that there is no such thing as Ronando. With Ronando, a guy who can shake the rhythm of the game with a fist at any time, this game will not be so monotonous...

In the stands of the Dragon Stadium, the fans moved their eyes to the two players on the field from time to time.

Benfica's Ronaldo, Porto's Hélder Postiga.

I have to say that the media hype is a shortcut for a player to become popular. Of course, this is a double-edged sword. The media hype you will put you under a magnifying glass. Whether you play well or not will be magnified. Times, in today's game, apart from the overall trend of the game, the biggest thing to watch is undoubtedly which one is better between Ronando and Elder Postiga.

These two players have their own characteristics. Their most suitable position may be to play as the first striker. However, due to insufficient qualifications, Ronaldo cannot compete with Nuno Gomez, and Elder Postiga cannot compete with the South African striker. Benny McCarthy, so, both were second best and located elsewhere.

Judging from the previous games, Ronando's performance was significantly better than that of Herder Postiga, but today's situation is a little different.

"Come on Elder! The blue dragon will win!"

"This is the Dragon Stadium, Benfica's Ronaldinho must be deflated! He can't get past the madman Maniche's defense, he is no match for the madman!"

"Benfica people, save your energy to deal with the Europa League opponents! Don't waste your energy!"

No matter what the Porto fans think in their hearts, they must support the home team Porto. Those slightly drunk fans kept cheering for the home team.

For today's game, both sides are actually a tired team. After half a month of double matches in a week, the players on the field cannot play very intensely. From the perspective of Porto fans, the biggest possibility is that the home team will win with a weak team. An advantage wins, and at worst it is a draw.

Why do you say that?
Because Porto's defense is more stable, the double midfielder with outstanding ability, and the excellent back line are the key to Porto's good at fighting tough battles. As long as Benfica can't break through Porto's difficult double midfielder, it will be difficult to really pose a threat to the goal. Numerous facts have proved that only relying on Simao's breakthrough on the wing, the effect is not very good.

※※※

In the 15th minute of the first half of the game, in a slightly calm game, a huge boulder was suddenly thrown down, causing a huge wave!
Benfica's right midfielder No. 19 Pereira Iverson suddenly dribbled forward with the ball. At the same time, Nuno Gomez quietly moved to the right. This change happened suddenly, and the fans in the stands even Didn't notice this change.

In other words, the Portuguese team's playing style is very different from the major European leagues. They don't pay much attention to the interception strength of the midfield. The defense strength before the center line is very weak, and the defense focus is within 35 meters of the goal. Therefore, in matches between two Portuguese Super League teams, it is often seen that players from both sides compete within a range of 30 to 35 meters from a certain goal.

Pereira Iverson passes the ball forward, and Nuno Gomez catches it and moves toward the baseline.

At this time, a red figure suddenly entered from the middle of Porto's restricted area at high speed!Ronando is here!
Ronando was used as Benfica's transmission. His back row can quickly change the rhythm of the game!

"Benfica No. 22 Ronaldinho suddenly goes forward...he is very fast! Be careful of this player's goal in the penalty area! It is said that two months ago, Benfica coach Giovanni Trapattoni took a fancy to this player Famous player, because of his superb sense of goal in the penalty area, especially his header!"

The narrator's reaction was quick. He caught a glimpse of Ronando sprinting, and immediately screamed in shock.

In fact, there is no need for the commentator to remind, Porto's defenders have already discovered the changes in Benfica, except for No. 18 Nuno Maniche who followed behind Ronando, and Porto captain No. It was blocked in Ronando's running route in advance.
