Chapter 19: The Dominant First Half
At the beginning of the game, Raio brought down the striker of the University of Coimbra with an outstretched foot. In terms of the nature of the action, it is indeed towards the ball, of course, the action is a bit big. This move of Laio is not so much about defense as it is about giving Amesan a dismount, but also a dismount for the entire University of Coimbra. Considering that Laio's actions were not substantially hurtful, and that this was Leiria's home stadium, the referee only gave a normal foul and a verbal warning: "Raio's control your movements, don't force me to play my cards." β
Facing the referee, of course, Railo nodded honestly, indicating that he knew what he said and would pay attention. Of course, the referee also knows that the other party is just perfunctory, and the referee's purpose is to make his position clear - don't go too far, I'll keep an eye on you. When the University of Coimbra saw the referee's decision, they all gathered around it dissatisfied, expressing their dissatisfaction with the referee. In fact, the players of the University of Coimbra also knew that it was impossible for the referee to change the decision, and they just put pressure on the referee so that the referee would not favor the home team in the later matches.
The Leiria fans booed the relentless UniversitΓ© Coimbra players and said that we haven't expressed our dissatisfaction with the referee yet, it's just a perfect defense, what do you want to do, it's on our turf. Florno even said excitedly: "This can only be blamed on that Amaesan is too weak, and our Raio has not made any mistakes." I can see it clearly. "You have to know that he is at least more than 600 meters away from the place of the incident, and God knows how he saw it clearly.
On the sidelines, Mourinho looked calm, and his face did not change at all. On the other side, Mourino turned on an angry face and roared at the manager: "This is a serious foul, at least a yellow card." "Talking and dancing. The fourth official stepped forward and had to come forward to warn him and ask him to go back to the coach's seat honestly. The referee on the field was also a little annoyed by the players from the University of Coimbra, and reached into his pocket, signaling that if I didn't back off, I was going to play my cards. Seeing that the referee was about to make a big move - the Topaz card, the players of the University of Coimbra were scattered.
The game was finally able to continue. These two teams have shown the world the same thing, and no matter how small a derby is, it is a derby. In the first 15 minutes of the match, it was more of a team wrestling match than a football match. Listen to Florano's explanation and you will know the truth.
"Oh, Keelho brought down Andre, the heart of our midfield, and oh my God, he's literally murdering our art football. It's a move worth getting a red card and going straight back to the dressing room to shower. Oh God, the referee only had a verbal warning, did he have a problem with his eyes? β
"Well done Antonio, he cut off Vieira de Mello's through ball and is such a reliable defender. Hey, it's a rude and brutal move, and Amesan takes down Antonio. Look at his pretending innocent face, why is he not going to act in adult action movies, I will choose him as a male pig's foot later. β
The fierce confrontation made the members of both sides slowly forget about the game and began to be more interested in each other's legs. The referee finally couldn't help but show a yellow card to Amesan and Raio, and the scene gradually came under control.
At this time, Lao Lei looked at Mourinho on the sidelines and recalled what he said in the dressing room: "I want you to make as much physical contact as possible with the opposing players in the first 15 minutes to disrupt their pre-match tactical arrangements." Universitat Coimbra is an attacking team, and if we disrupt their attack, we are half the winner. Lao Lei can't see whether Mourinho's tactic has succeeded, but seeing the opponent's head coach's jumping feet, it may have been successful.
Sure enough, although the scene returned to calm, after the opening chaos, the offensive organization of the University of Coimbra was obviously substandard, and it began to gradually lose control of the pace of the game and the midfield. On the other hand, Leiria took advantage of this time to start pressing out and taking control of the situation.
At this time, some fans and commentators who know the ball have also noticed the difference between Mourinho's Leiria. Compared to last season's Leiria, this Leiria team has clearly put more firepower into the attack. With only two midfielders left in the middle, there are three attacking firepower up front to match the strikers. In this regard, Florno took a wait-and-see attitude, saying: "We can clearly see that this Leiria team has increased the number of people in the attack, which was rarely seen in Leiria last season. It seems that Coach Mourinho is very courageous, of course, how effective it is, it will be tested by the game. β
The broadcast commentary of the University of Coimbra directly expressed denial and ridicule. "Is Mourinho a Leiria Benfica? Leiria's attack in front of the University of Coimbra is nothing short of asking for trouble. Mourinho is also keeping an eye on the situation on the pitch, and this is the first test that his Leiria has been subjected to, which is crucial.
In the 30th minute, Leiria finally turned the advantage on the field into a score. With his quick break down the left, Hugo won a corner for Leiria on the left. Laio also couldn't bear to be lonely and came to the penalty area of the University of Coimbra to grab points, saying that Laio still has a good header kung fu. The box was crowded together, and the hands and feet of the players on both sides were not clean. Either you pull my clothes, or I hold my waist to block the other person's movement. The referee had to stop the game several times, get into the penalty area, and tell the players to control their movements. The corner kick was finally delivered.
After Ugo's corner, the penalty area was like a pot of water that suddenly boiled. Ugo's corner kick went to the back post of Laio, who relied on his strong body to squeeze through the defenders who were attached to him and gain a little space to jump. In the face of the incoming ball, he made a beautiful and powerful head-shaking movement, and the ball changed lines over Raio's head and flew towards the near post of the goal. At this time, the young French goalkeeper of the University of Coimbra, Pezze, who was standing at the far post, made a magical save.
In Florno's words: "The 22-year-old French goalkeeper stretched his body like a rubber band and miraculously blocked Raio's header at the near post. β
But then Florno exclaimed passionately: "It's incredible, such a header was blocked by this French goalkeeper." The wait is not over, there is still a chance. It was Ivan, who grabbed the blocked ball in the penalty area before the opposition defenders cleared the ball. SHOT, GOOOOOOOOOOOAL. Fox-like astuteness, Ivan relied on his excellent sense of grabbing points, grabbed ahead of the opponent's defender, and stabbed the door of the University of Coimbra. Well done, our top scorer and of course not forgetting Raio's brilliant header. GOOOOOOOOOAL, this is his first goal of the new season and Leiria's new season. Let's cheer the goal together is -----"
Then the audience erupted in a huge shout of "Ivan". Leiria's players on the field also happily hugged each other in celebration, pressing Ivan who was kneeling in celebration. Mourinho on the sidelines witnessed the goal, and after witnessing the goal, he came to a kneel to celebrate, and the direction of the kneeling was Coach Mourino, who was angry with the players on the field. After seeing Mourinho's celebration, Volino also exclaimed in amusement: "Roar, look at what a handsome kneeling our manager is." Haluha, look at Mourino's face, his pre-match declaration of victory is even more of a joke at this time. The University of Coimbra has no way to fight back, but I have a hunch that maybe we have a very special manager. "Listening to Florno's words, the fans in the stadium also noticed what happened in the dugout, and they all laughed happily, and the fans near the dugout even sang a song that they thought about impromptuly;" Oh, Mourino is the big mouth coach, oh oh his team is to blame for the loss. "God willing, fortunately, Murino, who is in his 50s, is in good health, otherwise he would have to be angry these few moments, even if he looks at his flushed face like this, he knows that he is not lightly angry.
And although Lao Lei also stood up and waved his fist excitedly to celebrate, but listening to the huge shouts of "Ivan, Ivan" in the field, I still felt a little envious in my heart, thinking about how good this protagonist would be if he was himself, but unfortunately he was still sitting on the bench. It wasn't until the players from the University of Coimbra approached the referee that the celebration was too long, and at the referee's signal, the Leiria players ended their celebrations with a sigh of relief.
After the game restarted, the University of Coimbra was not a weak team after all, and it was slowly recovering from the chaos at the beginning. In fact, in terms of offensive ability, the University of Coimbra should still be superior. The situation slowly turned into a stalemate and entanglement, and for a while, neither side could help the other. With home advantage and the momentum boost just scored, Leiria was able to block the comeback of Universitatea Coimbra, and then several excellent counter-attacks made the opposing goalkeeper Peze break out in a cold sweat.
Unfortunately, both Bruno and Ivan failed to capitalise on such good opportunities, with Bruno's shot from inside the box being denied off by the interference of Keelho. And Ivan's counterattack formed a single knife, because of the excessive pursuit of angles, hit the far post and popped up the bottom line. After squandering those two golden chances, Leiria's offensive wave finally calmed down. In this way, the score of 1:0 in the first half was maintained until the end of the first half.
Jose Mourinho applauded his players on the sidelines and was clearly happy with the first half, especially defensively, and did not give the University of Coimbra any good chances. Dissatisfied with the team's cash, Mourino left the pitch before the whistle and headed for the dressing room, and it is conceivable that the players of the University of Coimbra will not have too much time at half-time.
After the end of the first half, in a corner of the stands, Ray's family was sitting among a crowd of Leiria fans. Joseph was still talking to some fans. This is Xiao Ji raised her head and asked Cindia: "Mom, why didn't I see Lei Ma come out to play football, could it be that he was also punished by the teacher and couldn't move?" β
Scia smiled and said, "Rema is on the bench, don't worry, he'll play in the second half." β
"Oh." Mi Ji is obviously not very interested in the game without Lao Lei. She didn't know what these adults who usually seemed calm were excited.
Joseph, on the side, was discussing some of the highlights of the first half with the fans around him, and he was excited.
In the dressing room, Mourinho first expressed satisfaction with the players' first-half realization, signaling that the players should be more proactive in the fight and must grasp the initiative in the midfield. In the second half of the first half, Leiria's grip on the midfield was noticeably weakened, and even with a brilliant counter-attack, it was a deficiency that could not be disguised.
Lao Lei was a little out of the world, thinking about whether he could play in the second half. In the dressing room on the other side, Mourino was furious, and almost every player was scolded by him. "What about your defense, how do you act like a?" "Amesan, I didn't see your attack at all, didn't you play in the first half?"
After scolding, Mourino arranged: "I want you to increase your defense in the second half, and it doesn't matter if necessary. You have to get the midfielder back, understand? β
"Understood." There was anger in his tone......
