Chapter 42(1/2)
Weekend, Orense, Okuto Stadium.
Although it is a small northwest town with only more than 100,000 people, the football atmosphere in Orense is very strong.
The stands on both sides were full, and the home atmosphere was also the best among the teams in the second league.
The momentum created by more than 5,000 fans is enough to affect the visiting team.
When the home team takes the ball, they immediately cheer, and when the away team takes the ball, they boo ruthlessly, Orense fans are supporting their team in this way.
Our city is very small, but our team is not weak!
Orense's head coach Francisco Soler also thinks so.
Especially after the game begins.
Because he found that the visiting guests did not attack like usual, but instead shrank the defense line.
They are going to guard it!
The game started very dull, with Orense and Atletico Madrid 2 testing, and there was no intention of attacking.
Especially Atletico Madrid's second team, it is even more contrary to the tactic of putting a big push after the start of the three rounds, and instead firmly defends its own half, leaving two forwards in front to harass him.
"They actually want to fight a defensive counterattack?" Soller was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, low-level league teams are no better than top-level league teams. They often only have one lineup, work together to develop a set of skilled tactics, and then form a familiar game routine around tactics.
In Francesco Soler's view, the reason why Atletico Madrid second team wants to attack is because they have to take the lead and take the initiative. By attacking, they can score the best goals, and if they don't work, they can destroy the opponent's rhythm and game plan.
Simply put, let the game be played at your own pace.
But now, Atletico Madrid second team has actually given up on the attack.
This is unreasonable!
Why doesn't he play by the rules at all?
What about the attack after the opening game?
"Maybe they are not sure either!" the assistant guessed.
The two teams scored the same goal. Although Atletico Madrid second team scored more goals, Orense zero conceded, and both sides were equally matched.
But, this is Orensee's home court.
Atletico Madrid's second team plays a defensive counterattack on the away game, which is also a pragmatic strategy.
Soler nodded. There was indeed such a possibility, but he was not sure.
"Do we want to push it out?" the assistant suggested.
Since the opponent is willing to give up the initiative, as the home team, it is very important to adopt more active tactics.
But Soler shook his head, "Wait a minute."
He thinks it's better to be careful.
…………

"Haha, I wonder if it was beyond their expectations?"
Gao Hanzhuo stood on the sidelines and asked Cantalero with a smile.
The experienced assistant also smiled bitterly, "Unexpectedly, for sure, but, how do we fight next?"
Cantalero's idea was just like Soler, and he gave up the opening attack. Atletico Madrid second team gave up the rhythm and game situation to his opponent. How would the team play next?
But this is a difficult problem for all professional head coaches, but not a problem for Gao Han.
Because he has a skill card, and it has three stars, he can increase four stars at any time.
Not to mention that the opponent is Oren, even if he challenges the La Liga team, Gao Han has the confidence to try it out.
In the past, when Gao Han coached Chinatown, the team was too weak, and the opponents he encountered in the game were much stronger than Chinatown, so saving his life was the most important thing in the game.
Because of this, Gao Han attaches importance to attacking and uses skill cards desperately.
But now it's different.
The overall strength of Atletico Madrid's second team, especially after Gao Han promoted players such as Torres, Antonio Lopez and Gabi, and introduced two strong players, Villa and Xavi Alonso, the overall strength of the team is considered a strong team in the second league.
Since this is the case, the skill card can no longer be used casually, and you have to pay attention to skills.
Because the skill card can only last ten minutes!
The old saying is right, good steel must be used on the blade!
Either don’t use it, once you use it, you must maximize the effect of the skill card!
Sometimes, the fist is to retract it to punch faster, more vigorously and more powerfully when punching!
"What should we do now?" Cantalero also frowned, looking full of sorrow.
"They don't seem to have an intention to attack now."
Gao Han turned his head and looked at Francisco Soler in the home team's coach's seat, and smiled.
"Then let it waste!"
"Sweep?"
"Yes, we are away anyway, and we are making a profit in the draw. What are we afraid of?"
Well……
Cantalero couldn't believe it. Is this like what Gao Han said?
Didn’t he always ask the team to be enterprising and to strive for more goals?
"Don't worry, under the noses of more than 5,000 fans, I don't believe they won't fight!"
Even if they don’t push them out, I have a way to ask them to push out!
…………
…………
As the game progressed, Francisco Soler gradually couldn't sit still.
At first he was able to sit upright in the coach's seat, but gradually, he walked outside, and later, he couldn't stand.
Because of excitement!
He felt that he had already noticed the other party's intention!
More than ten minutes have passed, but Atletico Madrid's second team still has no idea of playing.
However, the two forwards of Atletico Madrid second team brought a lot of trouble to Orense's defense.
They cooperate with each other and have outstanding personal abilities. They can always catch an opportunity from time to time and create a threat.
What's even more troublesome is the No. 14 that was dragged behind by Atletico Madrid's second midfielder.
This player has excellent passing ability. As long as two forwards run out of space, he can always accurately pass the ball to their feet, which makes it very difficult for Orense's players to defend.
You are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it!
Even if Soler has confidence in his team's defense, he can't stand the harassment of Atletico Madrid's second team.
What if the player makes a mistake?
OK, even if you take a step back, the team did not make any mistakes. If you continue to waste this, the two sides will be tied. Who will suffer?
The matchup between the two top teams and the visiting team got a draw, it was considered a retreat without any hesitation.
What about Orense, who is the home team?
Soler began to have an idea to win Atletico Madrid's second team, and Orense was the top spot.
But if there is a draw, Orense will still be inferior.
As my assistant said just now, since the other party decided to defend, I should take the initiative.
The fruit of victory that represents three points is right in front of you. As long as you reach out and pick it, it will belong to you!
At this moment, Soler was finally moved!
…………
…………
"Orense finally attacked!"
Cantalero was excited.
Gao Han looked at his assistant with his squint eyes and his mouth twitched, "How happy are you?"
"They're pressing it out!"
"Then what?"
"We should push it out, too."
