Chapter 17 Illusion~)(1/2)
Being led by such a nonsensical goal is completely unacceptable for Botafogo.
So after the game started again, they launched a fierce offensive against Sao Paulo's goal, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.
It can be said that Glory's goal angered them and made them lose their minds.
Moreover, it is not only Botafogo's players who have lost their minds, but also Botafogo's head coach Levi Cupi.
His tactical arrangements before the game were very well arranged, which can be seen from the fact that Sao Paulo did not have a good scoring method at home in the first twenty minutes of the game.
In particular, it has curbed the vertical breakthrough of Glory and relieved the team's goal a lot of defensive pressure.
In the first half of the year, his team also successfully defended Glory in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship. He believed that he had successful experience in curbing Glory, a rookie, and finding strategies to deal with him didn't require any "branching his brains" at all.
He has a complete set of mature and complete methods to deal with this rookie.
But what he never expected was that this rookie actually used a lucky pass to tear open Botafogo's defense line and broke his carefully constructed defensive strategy!
He thought of all possibilities, but never thought of luck!
Maybe it was because he didn't expect that Rong Guang would be so favored by the goddess of luck...
If such luck proves that his efforts are in vain, his countermeasures are jokes, and he will never accept them!
So at this moment, even he himself lost his mind.
You must give the bastard some color to the novices so that he knows that you can't go too far on the court by relying on luck!
At this time, he completely forgot what this rookie is best at...
※※※
The team logo is a white five-pointed star in a black shield. Botafogo is a traditional strong team in Rio State. A five-minute attack completely suppressed Sao Paulo.
The fans of Botafogo who followed the team to the Molonbi Stadium also shouted loudly to cheer for their team.
The team's performance gave them hope to quickly equalize the score.
This made them shout very enthusiastically.
The situation is very good!
But under this great situation, there is a hidden crisis...
In the 27th minute, Botafogo won a corner kick through two consecutive shots.
The two consecutive shots were very threatening, which made the fans of Botafogo in the stands feel unprecedentedly high. This corner kick also made them make a lot of noise.
It seems that they can equalize the score in this corner kick.
The corner kick was quickly taken out.
Just when Botafogo fans looked at the football flying in the air with expectations, hoping to finally see the ball in Sao Paulo's goal, the football was hit by goalkeeper Cheney, who was attacking!
When I saw the football fly out of the penalty area, Botafogo coach Levi Cupi on the sidelines finally woke up! Isn’t this the quick counterattack that Sao Paulo is best at?
That rookie's speed...
So he rushed to the sidelines, waved his arms desperately into the field and shouted: "Go back——defense!! Quick!"
The Botafogo players on the court also reacted.
The football played by Cheney flew towards Ricardinho. Botafogo's player Tulio hurriedly posted it, preventing Ricardinho from turning around easily or passing the football calmly. The best result is of course to intercept the ball and attack directly, but this hope is very slim, so as long as Ricardinho can be forced to pass back, it is considered to be completed.
Meanwhile, other Botafogo players ran back regardless of the scruples - they were returning to defense!
They all remembered that there was a track and field athlete on this court!
Isn’t the huge space in the backcourt just prepared for him?
※※※
Seeing that Botafogo's players returned to defense like a tide, Cafuri nodded approvingly: "Bottafogo's players have not lost their minds yet. At least they are not pushing the press, but quickly returning to defense - this is the right way. Because Sao Paulo has Rong, Rong's speed is too suitable for counterattack after this set piece! Now their defenders have quickly retreated to the half. If Sao Paulo wants to fight a quick counterattack, they will not be able to get up."
Ricardinho took out the football under Tulio's press, and the entire Sao Paulo team advanced forward.
But Botafogo's return to defense this time was indeed very fast - they almost ran back with great effort, and everyone raised their speed to the limit.
Finally, they all retreated before St. Paul attacked.
When the Sao Paulo players advanced to the center circle, the most important Botafogo players were already on the verge of their own defensive position.
Seeing that there was no near-shot counterattack, Ricardinho was in a hurry to pass the ball.
Just reorganize the attack and advance slowly. If you don’t have a chance, you will pass it back and never take risks.
Anyway, they are the ones leading the way now, so they have no reason to worry.
He saw Rong Guang retreating slightly from the front midfielder and asking for the ball.
He passed the football over.
Although Rong Guang's kick just now had luck, this assist still allowed him to regain the trust of his teammates, and Ricardinho would naturally be willing to pass the football to him.
The football just fell to the feet of glory.
Glory did not catch up with the rolling football, but turned around and bypassed the football. In this way, he did not have to stop the ball and turned around, and directly completed the turning and adjustment movement.
Now he is taking the ball in the offensive direction.
His eyes naturally fell to Botafogo's goal thirty-eight meters away.
※※※
Seeing Rongguang being forced to turn around and catch the ball, he turned around and faced three complete lines of defense.
Botafogo's head coach Levi Cupi re-scored his relaxed smile.
If it were a little later and Glory would have received the ball, it would definitely not be the case now.
Then I will never be able to laugh.
Fortunately, the glory now is no longer threatening - Levi Curpi definitely doesn't believe that glory can have another lucky fortune.
※※※
In fact, Rongguang didn't think about assisting again.
Two assists are equal to one goal. With such a simple addition and subtraction, Rongguang can still be calculated even if he only has an elementary school degree.
Assistance is definitely not as much money as scored!
He wants to score a goal!
In order to avoid the "accident" just now, Rongguang does not intend to pass the football to Fabiano this time.
He now has to face Botafogo's entire and complete defense line alone, and without the help of his teammates, he must do it alone.
He drove the ball towards Botafogo's defensive player.
His speed is very fast, not diminishing at all!
If this continues, he will soon meet Botafogo's defensive player.
He can pass the ball, or do he want to do it himself again?
Will the straight ball as sharp as a scalpel still appear?
In the stands, many people in front of the TV suddenly became nervous.
※※※
The first person to defend the glory from the front is Edgar.
However, he did not rush to pounce. In order to deal with Glory, each of them has his own position. Just defend within this position. Never pounce too early, otherwise he will use the space behind him.
Isn't this the first goal lost? The small space behind Fernando was allowed to take advantage of Rong Guang... But Edgar still didn't believe that Rong Guang did it on purpose, it should be just a coincidence. He was frantically furious by the pressing of two people and stabbed him casually. He originally wanted to score the ball in an individual way, but he didn't expect Fabiano to appear there.
The cautious Edgar did not go up, but waited in his own position.
Head coach Levi Kupi, who saw this scene on the sidelines, nodded and was very satisfied with the performance of his players.
Before the game, he analyzed the sharpest vertical breakthrough of Rongguang to everyone, telling them that Rongguang’s biggest weakness is that it can only make vertical breakthroughs, which means that although his breakthrough speed is fast, it is just a straight line. By analyzing all the goals videos of Rongguang, you can clearly see that all the straight lines are all, and there is basically no change in the middle.
What does this mean?
It means that Rongguang will no longer change direction when dribbling the ball at high speed!
So as long as he is stuck in his way and does not give him enough depth to break through, the breakthrough of glory will hit a wall and then end abruptly!
Cooper is very confident in his arrangements.
He believes his players know what to do.
He is now waiting for the glory to hit the invisible wall in front of Botavo's penalty area.
※※※
Seeing that the distance between Glory and himself was getting closer, there was still no intention of slowing down.
Edgar lowered his center of gravity and stared at Glory and the football under his feet, ready to go.
At worst, it’s just a collision with him!
Anyway, he must not score a goal!
To be continued...
