23 Tactics decide the game
Fifteen minutes of intermission passed quickly.
The players of the two teams also adjusted their mood and returned to the Morombi Stadium.
Sao Paulo fans continued to sing the tricolor anthem, in their opinion, the Argentine only had three shots in the first half! They just got ahead by luck.
"Camby, let's not be too aggressive at the beginning of the second half." Leon said to Cambiasso when he came out of the player channel.
"Oh? Leon, what's the matter? Why did you remind me like this?" Cambiasso became more and more curious about the tactics installed in Leon's brain. Why does this guy know so much? Always be able to predict the enemy's opportunity?
"Because in the second half of the game, in order to speed up the rhythm of the game, Sao Paulo gave their core Kaka room to play, and they will definitely take the initiative to recover and wait for our front line to press forward. The characteristic of Kaka is that it is in the counterattack, after the two teams' front line is opened. Give him a breakthrough opportunity. In the second round of the semi-final, the Bocas were too aggressive after a 2-0 lead on the total score, and then they were kicked out by Sao Paulo for a quick counterattack. Therefore, if Sao Paulo** us take the initiative to step forward in the second half , we'll pass the ball in the backcourt, don't be impatient, it's them who are impatient now, not us." Leon said with a smirk at Cambiasso.
"Uh, if we play like this, what if Sao Paulo presses up?" Cambiasso asked suspiciously, why can't the opponent reclaim us but can't attack?
"It's good for them to press up! Isn't counterattack also our specialty? Camby, this is the final. If this is a friendly match, I don't mind having a confrontation with them to see who is the king of offense in South America, but This is the final, and the final has a final style of play. In my opinion, I would rather we only score this one goal in two games and win the championship with 1-0, rather than thrilling 4-3, 5-4." Leon He waved his hand and said.
"Okay, partner, anyway, I'll listen to you!" Cambiasso nodded, Leon was always able to predict the enemy's opportunity, and this time, Camby believed that he was definitely not surprised.
...
"Well, the River Plate team played too relaxed, right?" At the beginning of the second half, the Sao Paulo team took the initiative to withdraw their own line.
Their head coach is not an idiot. He also knows that if he wants to play Kaka's characteristics, he must give Kaka space.
But in the first half, the river bed gave Kaka too little space.
So in the second half, Sao Paulo had to create his own space.
However, the River Plate team, which has the title of the king of offense in the A-League, disappointed Sao Paulo. It was almost five minutes into the second half, and the River Plate had no intention of attacking at all. Passing the ball back and forth...
If the pass is wrong, retreat across the board, anyway, just don't attack.
"Damn it! You bastard Argentines! Well, if you don't attack, we will attack!" The head coach of Sao Paulo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately adjusted the team's tactics. He signaled the Sao Paulo team to press forward across the board!
He didn't believe it anymore, and he couldn't crush the riverbed even if he attacked.
But at this time, the defenders of River Plate smiled, because Leon had told them that the Brazilians would play like this. Man, only the unknown can be frightened, but the known things can be dealt with calmly. Calm.
Therefore, even if Sao Paulo's offensive is raging, the River Plate team can always resolve it one by one.
When Sao Paulo's offense was suppressed by the River Plate's defense, the River Plate's several wonderful counterattacks also began to make the Brazilian lose sight of one thing and lose another!
The voice of the Morombi Stadium was loud, but it could not interfere with the performance of the visiting team River Plate.
Leonwell is like a reassurance in the midfield. When his teammates are forced, he will always appear in the sight of his teammates for the first time to respond. When the Brazilian breaks through the defense, Leon will always be there. The position chooses the right tactical foul to slow down the Brazilian's attack...
Moreover, Leon's foul actions are not big, and he is not within the dangerous range, and he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, which makes him not get a single card despite many fouls...
Kaka completely lost his way, and Sao Paulo could only use a long shot to let the River Plate goalkeeper stretch his muscles. And because the River Plate players are in a good position, most of Sao Paulo's long shots are blocked...
The unfavorable defense makes Sao Paulo always eat the counterattack of the river plate. Once or twice is fine, but when the number of times increases, Sao Paulo's attackers can't attack with peace of mind.
This made it impossible for Sao Paulo to turn the advantage into a victory even though it had the advantage.
The inability to attack with peace of mind has greatly reduced the quality of Sao Paulo's attack, while the quality of the River Plate's counterattack is getting higher and higher.
Had it not been for the amazing explosion of the Sao Paulo goalkeeper in the second half, it is estimated that the River Plate team may have locked the championship in advance.
A cost-effective one to zero.
Under Lionwell's careful planning and scheduling, he used his teammates reasonably, and with the trust and dependence of his teammates, he achieved the results he wanted.
"Although I lost to Kaka in the individual duel, I won the team duel." Leon laughed in his heart.
At this time, Ciciro couldn't help but ran out: "Nonsense, Xiaoqiuzi, you also won the individual duel, Kaka is too young now, you control the overall situation, but he can only affect the local area, so personal You also won the duel."
Leon smiled at Cicero: "It seems that you are the only one who understands me, Cicero."
"That's a must!" After saying these words, Ciciroro also drilled back into Leon's inner world.
...
The one-to-zero result was obviously not what Sao Paulo wanted. The home loss forced them to go to the Monument to fight their backs a week later.
Perhaps their only hope is for River Plate to expend some energy or physical strength in the weekend league in order to win the spring league championship.
After the game, Kaka also found Leon to exchange jerseys, "Last time you took my national team jersey, this time I'm going to get your club jersey."
Leon took off his jersey and exchanged it with Kaka, "If we can meet in the World Cup, I will give you my national team jersey."
Unexpectedly, Kaka shook his head, "No, I don't want to meet Argentina in the World Cup. You guys are the favorites to win the championship."
"Haha! Ricardo, is this your compliment to Argentina, or did you throw a smoke bomb on purpose!" Leon said, looking at Kaka with a smile.
Kaka waved his hand: "Who knows, the result will be known only when we meet, but Leon, I will not give up. In the next game, I will definitely win the championship trophy at the monument."
Leon nodded, "I'll wait and see, Ricardo."
After the two shook hands, they went to find their teammates.
"Damn it, Leon! You are amazing! How did you know that Sao Paulo would play like this?" Ortega felt more and more aware of this after listening to Cambiasso explaining Leon's command and dispatch to him. Brother Albertini, Redondo II, who are alive and well!
Ortega, who has worked with Redondo in the national team, also knows that that guy is simply a computer that cannot make mistakes...too accurate.
"Guess!" Leon's answer caused him to be severely beaten by his teammates.
Tell you to pretend!
And the iron man Carlos Babington shook his head with a smile. You must know that when we shook hands just now, the coach in Sao Paulo, Brazil kept praising Carlos Babington's tactics.
In fact, Carlos Babington didn't arrange any special tactics! Hasn't South American football always been as simple as offense and defense...
Tactics are also offensive tactics, how can there be so many defensive tactics.
These defensive tactics are entirely because the teammates trust Leon to stand in those positions that Leon said, and it is precisely because they trust Leon that they can achieve such good results.
Maybe I should go abroad to learn advanced football tactics. Football is improving, and modern sports will undoubtedly pay more attention to tactics.
South American football cannot rest on its laurels, only by integrating with European football can it go further.
...
It is said that when the River Plate team returned to Argentina, they were greeted by many River Plate fans!
The third Copa Libertadores in team history is just around the corner!
For River Plate, the No. 1 giant in the A-League, the reason why their No. 1 is often said by the Boca people is not worthy of the name is because the South American Libertadores Cup has been won too little.
But now, as long as they can win the third South American Copa Libertadores championship and defeat Sao Paulo who defeated Boca to win the championship, it will undoubtedly consolidate their status in Argentina.
"Leon, you did a good job! Come on, the next two games will be championship contests, I hope you can keep adding new honors to the honor book!" My agent Mendes said after returning to Argentina Also sent a blessing.
Amy, that proud Boca fan, has now been taken to training by Mendes. It is said that after Fatty Barry knew that his daughter was going to be the press officer of the noble son of River Plate, the old River Plate fan was said to be excited at night. Sleeping from ear to ear.
...
"Good Leon! Congratulations on winning again." As soon as he opened the door, it was his gentle fiancée...
Ya Li has already prepared dinner for Leon, and enjoying Ya Li's loving feast, Leon also feels that he is on the right track.
Just when Leon was feeling the beauty of his life after his hard work, he received a phone call that surprised him.
Argentine coach Bielsa's phone call!
"Hello, Leon, I'm Bielsa, I want to make a long story short with you, I watched some videos of your game against Sao Paulo, I feel that your physical condition should be fine, so I hope you are in the second Join the national team immediately after the game on the 17th, because we have two warm-up matches on the 29th and 1st, and I consider letting you play for about 15 minutes in the second half of the game on the 29th, and on the 1st I will arrange for you to start the warm-up match." Bielsa is indeed a lunatic, an attacking lunatic, and he speaks so directly, without sloppiness at all.
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Bielsa." Leon agreed.
"Well, so be it." Bi! Bielsa hung up the phone quite quickly!
Beside Leon, Yali asked curiously: "Whose call is it? Leon, what made you so happy?"
"Belsa's phone call, he said, let me go to Asia to join the team immediately after finishing the club's game." Leon smiled and pinched his fiancée's face.
Ya Li also smiled happily, "Good Leon, come on!"
"That's a must!" Leon smiled and said that his cheap father Grondona also sent a text message after the game between him and Sao Paulo...
Of course, there are concerns and greetings inside, and Grondona is also suffering. There are sons who cannot recognize each other, so they can only support silently behind their backs...
Well, being famous is not necessarily a good thing!
