Besides, looking at Ibrahimovic's angry look, everyone can imagine that Dongchang has opinions...

——

The game restarted and the Swedish team took the lead.

But what surprised everyone was that the Swedish team, which was lagging behind, seemed to have no intention of pressing forward aggressively.

They first made several moves in the backcourt, then advanced to the hinterland of Portugal through cooperation, and then directly found Ibrahimovic with a high ball.

But soon, Fonte and Pepe intercepted the ball and destroyed the Swedish team's attack.

The offensive method is still very simple, and Sweden still invests a lot of energy in defense.

Similar to before, once Portugal's offense reached Sweden's 30-meter zone, it was difficult to penetrate. Initially, it had to pass back and let the backcourt reorganize.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the Swedish team didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. The defense was still very solid, which also made Portugal's idea of ​​​​pulling the Swedish team out to play unable to succeed.

"Why do you feel like they haven't scored a goal? Can't they see the scoreboard?" Assistant Valle laughed, but his smile seemed a bit stiff, "I wonder if that guy is prepared to compete with them."

?”

It's no wonder that Valais was a little frustrated.

God begged me, Sweden’s reaction was too abnormal.

Counterattacking after falling behind is almost a must in the football field, but Pan Yi did not follow the ideas outlined by the Portuguese, which makes people a bit confused as to what Pan Yi had in mind.

Does he really want to win? That's definitely not the case.

But when will he attack? How? The Portuguese are unsure.

If it doesn't work for them, that's great. But if Pan Yi, who has always been famous for his scheming, is wrong, it will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable.

And now, the situation is still controlled by the Portuguese, but they cannot effectively break the Swedish team's defense again.

As the game progresses, the Swedish team in the East seems to be constantly fine-tuning its defensive system and constantly improving some problems in the defense, which makes the Swedish team's defense more and more stable.

That terrifying ability to learn and self-correct!

If we go further east, it will be very difficult for Portugal to break the wrong goal with such a strong attack!

"If he is impatient, then he is not Pan Yi!" Santos was able to squeeze out a smile, "The kid has obviously already made a full set of plans in his mind, whether to score first or lose the ball first.

There should be complete methods for dealing with errors.”

"Then what will they do now?" Valaidu found it difficult to hold back his temper.

Santos looked at his assistant, shook his head and said: "They are not in the lead now, so they don't need to worry. They will just follow him slowly to see what tricks he can do!"

There has been no name in the finals since ancient times, so there is some truth in that statement.

The two teams worked hard to reach the final. Being careful and not conceding the ball is always the first priority. Whether the game is good or not is the lowest priority.

As far as the European Cup is concerned, Spain failed to beat Italy 4:0 in the final, but this was indeed due to Italy's bad luck. Their players were injured one after another, and only 10 people could compete in the first half hour.

In the next two tournaments, Spain defeated Germany and Greece defeated Portugal to win the championship, but the score was 1:0.

The World Cup is similar. In the 2014 World Cup, Germany defeated Argentina 1:0 in overtime. In 2010, Spain still defeated the Netherlands 1:0 in overtime. In 2006, Italy defeated France in penalty kicks...

In other words, in the finals, utilitarianism often outweighs appreciation, which is why the third and fourth place finals in the World Cup are often more beautiful than the finals.

Tomorrow's UEFA Euro 2016 final doesn't look like this either.

If in the 20 minutes from the beginning of the game to the first goal, the two teams were at least as proactive as Portugal in attacking, then in the game that followed, Portugal didn’t seem to invest much.

The troops are on the offensive.

That made that European Cup final look dull, even though a goal had been scored.

Because both sides made it clear that they did not want a stalemate, there would be no such hearty attack.

It's a bit like two people playing Hearthstone. They play very defensively, and then every round they say: "Stack armor, pass!"

That seems a bit boring.

The game had already been played for 30 minutes, and the Swedish team had two shots, both of which were from long range, and none of which were on target.

Portugal only had 5 shots on goal, 1 of which was on target.

And that shot on target was the one where Cristiano Ronaldo scored. From that point, we can see how stalemate and boring the situation in that game was.

"It seems that both sides are patiently waiting for opportunities. The Swedish team's defense is becoming more and more solid, and Portugal's investment in offensive forces has also reduced, which prevents them from continuing to create threats like they did in the opening, so the scene looks a bit

Dull.”

"Well, from the perspective of the fans, this is not the case, but from the perspective of the head coaches of both sides, they are engaged in a fierce battle of tactics and psychology."

"The tactics are there. The Swedish team is currently lagging behind, and their strength itself is at a disadvantage. How Pan Yiqiu makes adjustments and how to equalize the score is what everyone is looking forward to."

"Including Portugal, everyone knows that leading by one goal is not safe, especially leading by one goal against Pan Yi. But at present, Santos does not seem ready to strive for another goal."

"That is in line with Santos's characteristics, so he wants to be stable. Since he can beat Wanli 1:0, why do he want to score more goals? Therefore, he is also willing to maintain the status quo and start a fight with the Swedish team."

"At that time, they wanted to see which side could be more patient, or which side would take the initiative to change their tactics..."

Just as the on-site commentator was talking, the scene gradually began to undergo some changes.

When Portugal's left back Guerrero took the ball and advanced again, Wayne Bloom, who had been the first to intercept, did not appear where he should have appeared.

That caused Guerrero to see an opportunity after dribbling the ball and pounce directly on Swedish right back Lustig, and the two competed on the wing.

But because Portugal's offense has always been very cautious and there are no players to respond, this directly leads to Guerrero's hasty cross.

Behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's forward line had no high point at this time, and the cross was easily destroyed by the Swedish team's center back.

Soon, the ball was controlled by Portugal again, and then the ball reached Guerrero's feet.

The Swedish team seemed to be consciously guiding Portugal to start attacking on the left, which meant that Lustig was stationed on the right. Guerrero also began to be very active on the left, and Portugal's central players could not cooperate with it.

, are also inserted frequently.

That scene made the neutral fans in the stands excited for the first time, and it finally turned out to be something good to watch!

Although it was not a missed attack, one of the warriors finally took out Gorehowl and started killing people!

The Portuguese fans are also very happy. After all, the team's offense has improved now. If they can score another goal like they did in 20 minutes, the championship will be guaranteed!

Some Swedish fans looked worried.

One goal behind, and the wrong side is gaining momentum again. Is this the end of Sweden's dark horse journey?

But what they didn't know was that it was not Pan Yi's "conspiracy".

He wanted Portugal to press forward again, so he deliberately let go of the defense on the right to activate the attack on Guerrero's side.

Guerrero can defeat Cancelo and a strong player like Coentrao can occupy the main position in the Portuguese national team. Of course, he has two skills.

In those few seasons, he played for Lorient in Ligue 1. He basically started every game and played the entire game. It can be said that he was an iron man.

Due to his outstanding performance, he was bought by Dortmund of the Bundesliga during the European Cup and has officially become a member of the Hornets.

In a normal timeline, Guerrero also performed very well in Dortmund. He played 224 times for Dortmund, contributed 40 goals and 50 assists, won 2 German Cup championships with the team, and was also selected into the Bundesliga's best team of the season.

It is precisely because of that performance that he joined Bayern Munich in June 2023, and his career has reached a higher level.

In the current Portuguese national team, Guerrero is also relied upon very much by Santos, and the left wing he is on (originally Cristiano Ronaldo is also on the left wing) is not the focus of Portugal's offense.

Now, Guerrero was in the east of Pan Yi's "play hard to get", and he was eager to kill for a while, and he somewhat forgot about Santos' instructions.

Guerrero was charging at the beginning. After creating several opportunities but failing because his teammates in the middle didn't follow, everyone began to follow Guerrero's lead.

Later, Guerrero became more active, and his Portuguese teammates began to actively intervene to cooperate with his offense, and the threat of shooting began to increase.

Of course, under normal circumstances, when head coach Dong Dong sees his players not following his own arrangements, he will often remind Yi Dong on the sidelines, but when Santos saw this, he did not say anything to stop him.

After all, he really didn't know what kind of medicine Pan Yi was selling in that gourd!

In addition, the coach has a very good idea. It is really not safe to lead by one goal. If the players are in good condition now and take the opportunity to score another goal, it will be better.

So he also acquiesced in that behavior.

After all, football games are a bit different from rugby, or even basketball, which have rigid tactics. In many cases, personal performance will overshadow the coach's tactics.

For example, the Argentinian team's tactics cannot always include "Messi, I will dribble the ball past him three times before shooting or passing the ball"? But of course the coach is also happy to see that when Messi has a flash of inspiration.

The same goes for Santos. He now hopes that the players will play well and then give Sweden a heavy blow!

Now, Pan Yi's "Italian chain defense" is getting better and better. Although Portugal's firepower is concentrated on the left, Sweden's defense is also very solid.

Guerrero rushed several times on the left, but he was unable to really open up Sweden's defense.

Whether Portugal can maintain its offensive and ball possession rate, the defense begins to press forward again, and the offensive becomes more and more fierce.

The time has entered 40 minutes, and the half is almost over.

The Portuguese players all thought of taking advantage of the initial period to strengthen the Yidong offensive. It would be best if they could score more goals. If not, they could also suppress the Swedish team's fighting spirit and morale.

But just when everyone felt that the Swedish team was becoming more and more dangerous and Portugal was unlikely to score again, the Swedish team finally launched a truly meaningful counterattack!
Chapter completed!
