Chapter 199: Geniuses are not good at things

After the start of the game, due to the tactical reasons of both sides, Rongguang soon had a face-to-face with Roberto Carlos.

When Independiente Medellín attacked, Roberto Carlos crossed the halfway line and made his way to the front.

Naturally, his teammates will support his attack.

Bedoya passed the football directly to him.

"It's coming!"

On the sidelines, assistant coach Mauro couldn't help but lift his heart.

This kid has been training for a week, what kind of performance can he have?

After getting the ball, Roberto Carlos looked up at the glory that stood in front of him.

Because he wanted to play against him in the game, Roberto Carlos specialized in studying the glory in detail.

He was surprised when he heard that Rongguang had only learned football for less than a year and a half.

Unexpectedly, this player, who is now attracting attention in Europe, has only been studying football for a year and a half. How is it possible to produce such a professional player in such a short period of time?

He didn't believe it, he thought it was a nonsense made up by the media to make the glory look more legendary.

This kind of thing is common, and the most common is "when so-and-so can't walk, he can already play football", in order to show that he is really talented.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what he has done in the past, it's enough that he's his opponent now.

He's a great player on the offensive side, but on the other hand, he really sucks defensively......

There are few cases of successful defense.

The counter-attack against the Blue Cross was not a ...... It wasn't any defense at all, it was just a non-stop run, and he was in the driver's seat.

And the real defense can be said to put itself in a passive position.

In passive defense, Glory has not had many successful examples.

From this, it is concluded that this player is not good at defending.

Now he is lying in front of him, as if he wants to defend himself?

Roberto Carlos snorted.

Just looking at his defense, it is simply full of flaws and loopholes......

Football is not martial arts, but if you don't pay attention to anything, there are flaws all over your body, and there is no flaw.

In Roberto Carlos' opinion, it is simply too amateurish to integrate such a defense.

His center of gravity was not pressed, and his feet were too floating.

All you need is one acceleration yourself.

However, out of respect for the opponent, it is better to be serious.

Roberto Carlos dribbled the ball straight to glory.

As he approached glory, he suddenly changed direction and was about to go inside.

The center of gravity of Glory turned, but Roberto Carlos buckled the football back and overtook it from the outside!

Breakthrough!

Glory has been left behind him.

Fortunately, the distance between Glory and Gabriel is reasonable.

After the glory was breached, Gabriel immediately made up for it, using his rich defensive experience to force Roberto Carlos to slow down, and the glory rushed back to complete the encirclement of Roberto Carlos.

※※※

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work......" Mauro shook his head.

Glory's defense is just too amateurish......

What if you stop standing in the position? Haven't you been so easily passed by the other party?

"He's too easy to shake." Attacking coach Rocha also said. "No way, it takes experience, and what Rong lacks the most is experience."

Cruise heard what his colleagues were saying, and he didn't say anything.

At this time, he is not easy to speak.

He could only set his eyes on Rongguang, hoping that Rongguang could compete for strength.

※※※

Medellín Independiente's head coach Carrera clenched his fists when he saw Roberto Carlos pass the glory so easily.

Roberto Carlos' breakthrough proved his tactics right.

Defensively, that rookie in Sao Paulo is their breakthrough.

As long as Carlos keeps breaking through and putting pressure on him, he will collapse sooner or later!

Well done, Roberto! Just kick it like that!

※※※

Roberto Carlos, although surrounded by Glory and Gabriel, tried to slip between the two men.

His feint deceived Glory, the encirclement of the two people revealed a crack, and seeing that he was about to break through, Gabriel decisively fouled and pulled Roberto Carlos down!

The referee's whistle sounded, and he ran over to Gabriel to give a verbal warning and gave Independiente Medellín a free-kick on the wing.

This free-kick is out of the way and can't hit the goal.

But for Independiente Medellín, it's a good opportunity.

Because this position is equivalent to a close-range corner.

They can cross from the wings, and in the box there can be a 1.9-meter-tall centre-forward......

Sure enough, at the sight of this set-piece, captain Cheney became nervous, and he shouted in front of the goal: "Look at their number nine!" ”

The number nine is Serna, the main center of Independiente Medellín.

At 1.9 meters, he stands out from the crowd in Sao Paulo's penalty area.

He is even two centimeters taller than Sao Paulo's goalkeeper Cheney.

And Lugano, the central defender who is responsible for marking him, is only 1.85 meters tall, and he is completely unable to compete with Serna.

This free kick is dangerous.

※※※

Glory and Ricardinho stand in front of the line of people.

Gabriel dropped back into the box to help defend.

Glory was a little depressed because it was his mistake that caused the free-kick.

Ricardinho pulled Glory, motioned for him to move closer to him, and then said to him, "It's not a big deal, Glory. Everyone has what they're good at and what they're not good at, and it's over when you blast him with what you're best at. Remember, offense, only offense is the best defense! ”

Glory nodded.

But he still felt haunted that he had let Roberto Carlos shake off so easily.

Bedoya kicked the ball into the box and Serna leaped high to head the ball into goal, but Lugano couldn't stop him......

Thankfully, Cheney picked the spot and judged it right to tip Serna's header over the crossbar, which prevented Independiente Medellín from taking the lead just three minutes into the game......

However, he still gave a corner.

The threat of a corner is the same as this free-kick, it is a set-piece up front.

Fortunately, this time, Independiente Medellín's corner did not really threaten the goal of Sao Paulo, and Serna took the ball high.

※※※

The telecast gave another replay of Roberto Carlos' breakthrough just now, and the Colombian commentator was excited: "Look at the speed! Roberto Carlos' speed is beyond what Rong can do! He is our Colombian Roberto Carlos! ”

I have a lot of respect for Roberto Carlos.

And Bueno, the Brazilian commentator, also feels that defense is really not what Rong Rong is good at.

"Defending is just making a cameo once in a while, so let's attack well......"

He believes that São Paulo, who are playing at home, should be able to take the initiative of the game quickly and suppress Independiente Medellín.

But the game didn't go in the direction he envisioned.

In the space of ten minutes, the visitors Independiente Medellín had less possession than Sao Paulo, but they had more dangerous shots on goal than Sao Paulo.

This has a lot to do with Medellín's independent tactical play.

Compared to those opponents São Paulo have faced before, Medellín Independiente have a more concise style of play.

Most of their players shrank up at the back, not giving space to the Sao Paulo front trident.

The attack, on the other hand, relied on long passes, or directly to Serna's head, allowing him to use the header to cross it down, then split it and then fold back to the front.

Either that, you just hit the two wings and give it to the wide players to cross.

In this regard, Medellín Independiente left-back Roberto Carlos has a very high degree of tactical freedom, and although he is a left wing-back, he can rush all the way to the 30-metre zone of the opposition when attacking. Anyway, he's fast, he's in good shape, and sprinting back and forth doesn't make a difference to him.

So his side is also a key offensive direction for Medellín Independence.

Glory has already passed this Roberto Carlos three times.

Like Rocha said, he was too shaky......

After the third pass, Roberto Carlos crossed the ball to Lugano and gave Medellín Independiente a corner.

This upset Lugano. He wouldn't want to give a corner if he could......

But Serna has been putting pressure on him behind his back, leaving him with no choice but to push the ball straight out of the line.

He didn't dare to go in the opposite direction, for fear that he would ferry the football to the opponent, which would make an own assist......

After landing, the bad-tempered Lugano shouted at Glory: "Don't be so amateurish!" Don't see the other person make a move, just follow it! That's all a lie! Can't you see that?! ”

Gabriel was also reminding Rongguang, but in a much better tone than Lugano: "Keep your center of gravity down, keep your eyes on the football, don't care what he does, just watch the football." If you are really not sure, then let him take it with him, and follow him all the time, and he will naturally lead to a dead end......"

Rongguang frowned, he felt that what these two defenders and teammates said was so complicated, what is only staring at the ball, don't look at the feet, it's easy to say, how to do it? He had no idea at all.

A week's training was all used to practice defensive positions, and as for how to defend one-on-one, Glory had no contact at all. Because the coaches don't think they need glory to face Roberto Carlos one-on-one.

Because with Rongguang's current defensive ability, if you want to succeed in one-on-one defense, let alone Roberto Carlos, who is fast, it is difficult to put anyone in it.

Rather than wasting time on this, it is better to hope for the whole.

No one expects Glory to cut off Roberto Carlos' ball directly, they hope that Glory can cooperate with Gabriel and other teammates to cut off the opponent's ball.

As a result, I didn't expect that Rongguang now has the biggest problem in one-on-one defense in the game......

※※※

'Maybe we should teach him to defend one-on-one instead of position...... At his speed, he can learn a little more in a week, right? Off the field, assistant coach Mauro said with a frown.

Osvaldo shook his head: "There is no point in talking about this now. If not, then let him abandon his defensive duties and concentrate on attacking......"

It's really frustrating that the well-prepared tactics have encountered big problems from the beginning......

After all, Glory is an offensive player, and it is still too difficult for him to defend...... Is it?

But I don't know what the road is for, Osvaldo just feels a little unwilling.

I just want to look forward to what he will do in the face of this extremely difficult situation for Rongguang?
