Chapter 215: On the Verge of Collapse (2800)
In the home team's dressing room, the soundproofing is much better.
With the door closed, you can barely hear the noise outside.
Bianchi was encouraging Jorgério Pinto and cheering him on.
He thought Pinto must have been a little frustrated when he was breached so many times by glory in the first half. I don't plan to replace him yet, and he can't waver in the slightest if he stays on the court.
But Bianchi didn't know that Pinto didn't have any frustration, he was now full of rage, and he wished that the second half of the game would start immediately, and then go on the field and teach that bastard a hard lesson!
"If he runs back, don't follow, Ruo Hot." Bianchi said.
Pinto nodded.
"As long as he's not half-time, whatever he does, but as soon as he's leaning in, you've got to get over right away. When necessary, come and be ruthless! ”
Bianchi made a "you know" gesture.
Pinto, of course, does.
With the head coach backing him up, there's nothing he doesn't dare to do.
"It's not the end of the world after a goal down, this is our home field! Nothing is impossible on our own home turf! Our goal has never changed in this game, and that is to win! ”
At the end, Bianchi shouted to all the players to cheer them up.
※※※
After the start of the second half, it seemed to be back to normal - Glory retreated when he was no longer attacking, and Pinto no longer followed him wherever he went.
But in fact, the two sides have never stopped fighting.
Pinto doesn't look for him, he goes for Pinto!
Glory was now deliberately leaning towards Pinto's side.
Even Pinto was surprised by this.
Osvaldo made a slight tweaking to the tactics at half-time in response to the situation of Pinto and Glory.
When passing the ball to Glory, don't pass the ball to his feet.
When he has his back to the attack, don't pass the ball to him.
Instead, wait until he turns and runs forward before passing the ball.
In this way, Glory can directly face the direction of attack, and Pinto becomes a chaser, and at this time it is about speed.
When it comes to speed, Glory is not afraid of anyone.
His team-mates also have faith in him.
In this way, Glory kept retreating, and then quickly turned around and ran.
The teammate then decides whether to pass the football to him or not based on the actual situation.
It's not that every time he turns around and runs, his teammates will pass the ball to him.
But regardless of whether the other Sao Paulo players will pass the ball to Glory, Pinto will also have to run with Glory.
It's an all-out sprint every time!
Pinto felt like his lungs were burning.
He originally thought that after Rongguang didn't retreat to the backcourt, he would be more relaxed and the game would be back on track.
But now look at ...... He was so naïve.
Where is this football game?
This is simply him and Rongguang sprinting in the race! It's a track and field race!
Running like this, he even had the idea that it was better for those São Paulo players to pass the football to Glory than to run so empty, at least Glory had the ball at his feet, and his own back and forth running was still meaningful.
It won't be like now, and he himself doesn't know what the use of him running with him like this is.
The violent switchback run, the full sprint, left Pinto's brain severely deprived of oxygen, the blood supply was insufficient, and he also seemed to lose the ability to think.
Just like this, I ran back and forth again and again.
※※※
In the first 20 minutes of the first half, the Argentine commentator kept praising Bianchi's tactical choice, and it was a stroke of genius to let Pinto, who is good at small movements, deal with Glory.
But now, it's been a long time since the Argentine commentator praised Pinto, or Bianchi's tactical arrangement.
Because even fools can see that Pinto's small movements are useless in the face of Rongguang's super running ability!
What was once a stroke of genius defensive strategy now looks like a farce......
Two people play track and field on the football field!
Boca Juniors' coach Bianchi stood on the sidelines, staring intently at the stadium, his face a little unpleasant.
He had thought that he would solve the problem by asking Pinto not to follow Glory back to the backcourt.
Unexpectedly, São Paulo pushed this strategy to the front court to execute.
And the whole team is consciously cooperating with Glory to do so.
Although the space distance is not as wide as the direct retreat to the backfield, today's glory is not the kind of rookie who doesn't know how to play his speed without a lot of space.
So the distance of the half court is enough for him to play.
Unlike in the first half, this is no longer a move by Glory, but a tactic that should have been adjusted by manager Osvaldo at half-time.
He turned his head to look at Osvaldo, who was also standing on the sidelines.
The Brazilian head coach has won many championships since his debut.
Looks like there really are two brushes......
※※※
Pinto was dragged out again and again by the race against glory.
Although the head coach Bianchi did not give any further instructions.
But Pinto felt he couldn't hold on any longer.
If you continue to play like this, your explosiveness will only last for another five minutes.
At that time, when you face the rush of glory again, you will be no different from waste.
He's going to adjust his strategy himself.
When Glory retreated again, to the midline, he found that he did not have the appendage Pinto behind him.
Hey, can't you run?
Glory laughed.
Running with me?
You're a hundred years early!
Since there is no Pinto behind him, Glory doesn't have to rush back and turn around.
He slowed down and São Paulo's attack returned to normal.
※※※
"If you can't run...... assistant coach walked to the sidelines, Bianchi said.
Bianchi nodded, indicating that he understood.
This result was something he didn't expect before the game.
He couldn't have imagined that the rookie would choose to drag down Pinto in the way of track and field competitions, and solve this "small action master" who was helpless for other players!
He was considering whether to replace Pinto.
With Pinto's physical strength, he obviously couldn't hold up until the end of the match. In the process, he could no longer pose any threat to glory. When he stays on the pitch, he loses one person to his team.
So it's better to replace him.
He tilted his head to the assistant coach and said, "Let Sebastian go and warm up." ”
The assistant coach nodded and took the order.
※※※
When Pinto returned to the backcourt and stopped running with Glory, he felt his lungs feel much more comfortable at last, and although it still hurt a little to breathe, the burning sensation that almost burned his whole body was gone.
Here he rested, waiting for his strength to regain before going to the trouble of glory.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a man standing up on the bench of Boca Juniors, Sebastián Batagria, who was the team's midfielder!
At this time, the head coach asked him to warm up...... Is this what to do?
Pinto suddenly realized that time was running out for him to find trouble with Glory.
Generally speaking, players warm up for five minutes and are ready to play.
So......
He glanced up at the big screen, which showed the time of the game.
Sixty-seven minutes into the game.
I only have five minutes to do so. At the age of seventy-two minutes, I should have been substituted.
Five minutes......
The amount of accumulated power should be selected in these five minutes to choose the best opportunity to release it at once!
He already knew what he was supposed to do in those five minutes.
Since I'm going to get down, I'm going to get you down before I get out!
Either way, it's going to get you down! And you won't even be able to participate in the next game!
Isn't that what I'm starting for?
That's my calling!
He set his sights on the rookie, who was still quite far away.
You kid, it won't be long before you get complacent!
※※※
"Batagria went to warm up." In the dugout in São Paulo, assistant coach Mauro also noticed the situation over there.
"That's good news." Mauro continued.
Osvaldo nodded in agreement.
Now Osvaldo is no longer worried that Glory will be frozen by Pinto's small movements, but that Glory may be injured by Pinto, who jumps off the wall.
This player has a bad record, don't try to find any sportsmanship in his deep mountains.
If he is stimulated too hard by the glory, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make any radical moves.
If Bianchi were to replace Pinto, Sebastián Batagria would be better than Jorgerio Pinto in terms of defensive ability alone.
But it's all open guns, but Pinto, which is a hidden arrow.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
Pinto's departure was of course good news for São Paulo.
They don't have to worry that Glory will be inexplicably scrapped in the game, and if Glory misses the next game due to injury, Sao Paulo really can't say whether they can win the Copa Libertadores.
※※※
With only five minutes to go into the warm-up, Pinto was hoping for the first time that Sao Paulo would be able to lay siege to Boca Juniors.
Otherwise, if Boca Juniors had been besieging São Paulo, how could they have a chance to deal with Glory?
However, it backfired, and during this time, it was Boca Juniors who were besieging São Paulo.
Sao Paulo played a defensive counterattack, and Boca Juniors were not willing to lose the game like this, so the attack was fierce.
Pinto was so anxious when he saw this.
If he still can't complete the task by the time he is replaced, then his performance today will be simply disastrous.
And without his own containment, maybe that kid can still score!
How he wanted to tell his teammates out loud - let them attack! Let that number thirteen get the ball, don't stop him! He's mine!
By the time the game entered the 70th minute, Pinto had only two minutes left.
At this time, Boca Juniors' successive offensive waves finally came to an end, and Sao Paulo fought back.
Pinto got excited.
He licked his lips like a wolf smelling blood.
His eyes were fixed on Glory, and he saw Glory quickly advance from the backfield. He began to pray in his heart that the players of São Paulo would be able to hand over football to glory.
Give it to him, give it to him, give it to him......
Pinto meditated in his mind.
His prayers seemed to be heard by God.
Ricardinho, who was on a quick counter-attack, really passed the football to glory!
Pinto's spirits froze, and then he started to start, running towards the route of the glorious run.
He didn't intend to meet the glory directly, so he would definitely be passed by in one face.
He ran out of an arc and approached Glory from the side.
At the same time, there was a huge boo over the Candy Box stadium, it was the madness of the Argentine fans!
They smell danger!
