Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 44 Collision Resistance

There is a theory that when Boavista first appeared in the Europa League, the opposing stadium announcers thought they were a "club with weird kits", which made Boavista fans very embarrassed. From a distance, their jerseys look like chessboards standing there.

However, although Boavista has been firmly suppressed by the top three in the Portuguese Super League in the domestic league, it is a team that adapted to modern European football relatively early.

In the late 20th century, Portuguese football clubs have always been more resistant to participating in European leagues. Although it can bring considerable benefits, it also brings more confusion.

Portugal is a European Latin faction. Players pay attention to the skills at their feet and do not like fierce confrontation. This characteristic is still the same until now, but the football style of other European countries is not like this. That kind of highly confrontational style of play is considered "" Daunting", most players can't adapt.

Boavista has few opportunities to participate in European leagues, but since the 90s, they have gradually adapted to the style of European football and have defeated Inter Milan, Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Nantes and other strong teams.

In 1998, the bald coach Jaime Pacheco took over the team, which gradually made Boavista a very aggressive team.

"The most brave team in the Portuguese Super League" is Benfica's opponent today.

Benfica's starting 11-man list——

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Jose Moreira
Forwards: No. 20 Simão Sabrosa (captain), No. 21 Nuno Gomez, No. 11 Dieberson Giovani
Midfielder: No. 7 Carlitos, No. 37 Manuel Fernandez, No. 19 Pereira Iverson

Defenders: Joe Pereira No. 47, Panagiotis Fessas No. 14, Ricardo Rocha No. 33, Luis Miguel No. 23

The starting lineup arranged by the Italian coach Trapattoni directly won the goalkeeper Quim and the 18-year-old central defender Pedro Kerian who performed poorly in the previous game, and at the same time let the Brazilian players who performed well come on the bench. Pereira Iverson and central defender Ricardo Rocha from the Benfica youth academy served as the starters.

However, all Benfica fans who saw this starting list were slightly disappointed.

"Madeira Monster", "Cook Player", "Children's Idol", Cristiano Ronaldo, who has these titles, still hasn't got a chance to start!
These different titles, of course, represent different support camps. A 17-year-old young man, at least in terms of popularity, has surpassed the vast majority of young people, regardless of whether you support it or oppose it, but a short one For many months, anyone who pays attention to Portuguese football will know that Benfica has an unusual character.

Boavista starting lineup -

Goalkeeper: No. 24 Kahatim Feyer

Forwards: No. 7 Cheveni Zemanuel, No. 17 Cafu Simando
Midfielders: No. 28 Joao Paduro, No. 6 George Silva, No. 10 Max Tonetto, No. 66 Thiago Pirel

Defenders: No. 20 Ricardo Cardu, No. 5 Aida, No. 4 Paul Duna, No. 25 Carlos Mihajes
From Ronando's point of view, the two teams on the field are too short!Especially the midfielders, basically all of them are short. Benfica striker Nuno Gomez is 181cm tall, and already has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Looking at Benfica's striker configuration, this feeling is particularly strong. The left forward Simao is 170cm tall, and the right forward Diberson Giovanni is only 171cm.

Ronando clearly remembers that Chinese football players, especially members of the national team, are generally taller than 180 cm, but these players on the field, except for the height of the back line, are barely passable, and the height of other players is an obvious weakness. A team like this, when it comes to the European arena, facing other European teams that are tall and big, they will be restrained to death in terms of height.

※※※

Small!quick!spirit!
Most of Boavista's players on the field are mature players aged 28-29. It is a period of relatively high level of physical strength and skills. Although there are no big-name players, almost all of these players have mixed in the Portuguese League. For many years, it belongs to the old oil.

The average height of their midfielders is about 175CM, which is basically the same as Benfica.

However, the actions of Boavista players on the field are obviously "wild". Their moves are absolutely unambiguous, which is very different from the technical players of Sporting Lisbon that Benfica encountered in the last game.

"Benfica defender #33 Ricardo Rocha dribbles forward and passes to #37 Manuel Fernandez!"

"Manuel Fernandez split sides, looking for right midfielder No. 19 Pereira Iverson! This Brazilian player has balanced skills and can adapt to multiple positions in the midfield. In the last game against Sporting Lisbon, He was ordered to come off the bench when he was in danger, received a pass from the teenager Cristiano Ronaldo, and scored a crucial equalizer. I hope this Brazilian player can also perform well in today's game."

"Pereira Iverson is an experienced player. He is 29 years old. He signed with Ligue 20 Bordeaux at the age of 5. He began to move to European football and played for France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Germany successively. He is characterized by his height Strong, energetic and strong impact, it is a good supplement to Benfica's technical midfielder. Last season, Pereira Iverson played for the Ligue [-] Nice team and scored [-] goals. Help the team stabilize in the middle reaches of Ligue [-]..."

The name of the commentator of the Stadium of Light is Roy Gomez. He is fatter. Because he has the same name as Nuno Gomez, he was given the nickname "Hamburger Gomez" by the fans.

Burger Gomez looked very excited today, not only because of Benfica's good results, but also because he has taken a long vacation.

The last Benfica home game was on December 12 last year, almost a month ago. As the commentator of the Stadium of Light, Hamburg Gomez was much more comfortable than the commentators of some small clubs. It is this commentator's salary that can allow him to live a good life, and many commentators are part-time jobs and must find other jobs to survive.

In the whole of Portugal, there are only a few large cities with relatively high living standards, and the income levels of residents in many small places are much lower than the European average.

Therefore, Hamburg Gomez cherishes this job very much, and will try to prepare as much as possible before each game to make the commentary more vivid and interesting.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the Portuguese Super League is usually not very fast. The players hold the ball for a long time, and they will choose to pass back if they cannot find an offensive opportunity. In such a game, if the commentator just follows the rhythm of the game, it will often make people Feeling cold, so Hamburg Gomez will introduce some player information interspersed.

Pereira Iverson scored a goal in the last round of key games, of course Hamburg Gomez must take care of it and take the opportunity to tout it.

However, at this moment, an accident happened on the field!
Boavista midfielder No. 6 George Silva rushed up and made a clean tackle, knocking Pereira Iverson to the ground with the ball!

"Beep!"

The referee on duty hurriedly blew his whistle to stop the game and ran up.

"Oh! How barbaric! Boavista is the Hammers of Portugal!"

Hamburg Gomez complained dissatisfied: "After coach Jaime Pacheco took over, the style of this team is too rude! I hope Pereira Iverson is fine! It is said that Benfica coach Giovanni Mr. Trapattoni once said to the media that the team has a heavy task in the second half of the season. The league, Portuguese Cup, and Europa League games all need to go all out. At this time, the health of every player is very important. important!……"

Ronando, who was sitting on the bench, frowned slightly, carefully observing the changes on the court.

As a half-hearted fake fan, he often watched European games when he was in China, but at that time he often watched the Champions League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Premier League. As for the Portuguese League, he rarely watched it. In Portugal, especially after joining Benfica, I watched more game videos.

Ronando's overall feeling is: I'm glad I came to the right place!

At this time, Ronando is a typical player who is afraid of close pressing and fierce pressing. This is similar to most Chinese domestic players. Play it out, but if the opponent is aggressive, you will be nervous and make mistakes in the middle of the rush.

Isn't Ronando a talented player who is tall, strong and has strong anti-collision ability?

Physical strength and physical resistance are not the same thing at all!

With Ronando's current ball-handling ability, which is at the level of the ordinary Portuguese League, if he encounters a fierce press like Boavista, he can play 200% of his own strength, which is not bad. The level is definitely not enough for him to play well in the Portuguese Super League, unless he uses the "three-second God" to let himself play 300% or [-]% of his own strength, so that he can completely abuse his opponent.

However, Ronando's three seconds need to be used at critical moments, how can he just waste it?

"Wow! Don't make a fool of yourself if Boavista intercepts me like this?"

Ronando's scalp was a little numb...

On the court, the two teams have similar offensive styles, both of which focus on technical floor-flow play. Players on the court will show some fancy footwork from time to time, which makes their respective fans applaud. In contrast, Benfica The players have better skills and have some advantages.

However, in terms of defense, the difference between the two teams is a bit big.

The players of the home team Benfica mainly rely on running positions, judgments, and precise kicks, while the visiting team Boavista’s playing style is more aggressive. Their players like to press close to the body and are good at using their physical advantages to take advantage. They are more confrontational than Benfica. three points.
