boom!
Heading forward.
The football hit the ground and bounced into the goal, perfectly bypassing the Benfica goalkeeper.
"GOAL! One to zero!"
"Ibrahimovic plays like a winger! From receiving the ball to passing the ball, Benfica's right back can't do anything to him!"
"Similarly, Cristiano Ronaldo's threat in the penalty area is obviously underestimated! But as his height increases, even compared with centers, he is still at the upper-middle level!"
"This was a successful change of position. Especially Ibra completed the assist directly from the wing. It seems that he is still upset about Maniche's pre-game criticism."
"Triguera and Maxa are indeed very good coaches. They actually design special tactics based on the players' psychological dynamics to help the players prove themselves. This is great!"
"Triguera's ability to teach young players is indeed as good as Wenger's. Of course, this is also indispensable for Maxa's tactical support to the team."
"Only a team with a tactician like Maxa can design so many exclusive tactics for the players!"
"Many people may think that there is no difference between Ibrahimovic and Drogba when they play as centers, but in fact, there are some subtle differences in tactics. Drogba and Ibrahimovic do not use exactly the same tactics."
"In other words, in Sporting Lisbon, every player can have his own exclusive tactics like the core players, and there will be one or even several sets of playing methods that the whole team revolves around you. This is really wonderful! This may also be The reason why the young people they introduced this season have performed extremely well!”
In the 19th minute, Sporting Lisbon made a comeback.
Matthaus directly launched a long pass attack from the central defender position.
Ibrahimovic and Quaresma switch positions and receive the ball on the right.
Benfica's players already know that you can't stop Ibrahimovic from catching the ball when playing on the wing, because Ibrahimovic is very tall and relatively strong, and there is no such thing as a high-altitude ball that he can't catch.
Then Ibrahimovic, who is defending the wing, can only open a little distance.
After he stops the ball and during his turn, try to steal.
boom!
Ibrahimovic made a sudden stop, stopped the football directly on his inward path, and then rushed over.
Everyone was confused.
Not to mention the accuracy and strength control of this kick's continuous stop and pass.
This idea alone is different from ordinary people.
Such a big center, after stopping the ball, he will start to eat you alive, and I will ask you, are you outrageous?
No normal person would think of this.
But Ibrahimovic dares to think and really dare to do it!
Ibrahimovic's burst and absolute speed are excellent, but that is for a fulcrum center.
Compared with wing players, he is probably a little slower than Maniche.
He would never be able to eat it raw at speed.
But since he did this, it means that he is sure...
"Oh! Ibrahimovic took him by surprise and cut inside first, blocking the inside position. Benfica's left back was blocked behind him and could not have any impact on his breakthrough."
"The big center stopped the ball on the wing and cut in quickly. Ibrahimovic seemed to have opened the door to a new world for Benfica's left back."
Beep!
Benfica really couldn't stop Ibrahimovic. In the end, their midfielder came back and knocked down Ibrahimovic from the side.
The referee blew the whistle and showed the yellow card.
And gave a very well placed free kick.
In theory, left-footed players can hit the goal directly here.
But the embarrassing part is...most of Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt are right-footed players.
Ronaldo, Quaresma, Viana, Deng Kai, Ibrahimovic, these players with free kick ability are not suitable for this position.
Quaresma is the only player among them who can use the outside instep to complete high-quality right-footed shots in the left-footed shot area.
boom!
Quaresma went around the football, he didn't touch it.
Football was played by Deng Kai.
They decided to pass the free kick to create more opportunities.
Deng Kai passed the free kick very resolutely.
Not a high ball, but a half-lob.
The arc is very large and the ball speed is very fast.
He circled directly into the penalty area from the right side, flew from the right side of the goal to the left side of the goal, and was even close to being parallel to the goal line.
This leads to the possibility of a goal attack after anyone on this line touches the football.
But that's just theory.
Start from reality.
The players on the right are the first to see the football, but the ball is too fast and they will most likely not be able to react.
So whether they stretch their legs or stretch their heads, they are all done after the football leaves.
Only the players on the left side have more time to react and make a goal-kicking action before the football arrives.
boom!
Ronaldo on the left flew and shot.
Successfully scratched the football.
The football hit the post behind the goal and bounced into the net.
It almost flew away.
"Beautiful! A very fierce tactical free kick!"
"The strength and arc of Deng Kai's kick are too strong. It's not an exaggeration to say it was a shot."
"No one could react except Ronaldo at the end. Even Ronaldo almost didn't touch the football."
"Two to zero! Deng Kai and Ronaldo did not waste the free kick that Ibrahimovic created for them."
"Even against the strong enemy Benfica, Sporting Lisbon played extremely fiercely today!"
"Benfica must do something against Ibrahimovic. Almost all of Sporting Lisbon's offensive threats so far have involved him. His role is obviously not comparable to that of Benfica's Maniche."
"He's just like Nuno Gomez!"
Benfica is obviously aware of this problem.
They then stepped up their defense against Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic's court perception is not that strong, and his foot skills are good, so he did not notice the danger for a while.
Until the twenty-sixth minute.
Ibrahimovic was surrounded heavily and when he wanted to pass the ball, he could no longer pass the ball.
If Ibrahimovic was originally a winger and had the winger instincts of Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma, he actually had a better way to deal with it. For example, bring the football to the sideline and try to win a sideline ball for the team.
Even if the sideline ball is given to others, as long as the opponent's quick serve is blocked, the opponent will not be given a chance to counterattack because of the loss of the ball.
boom!
Ibrahimovic was intercepted by Maniche who was involved in the return defense.
Maniche advanced with the ball and handed it to Gomez after halftime.
Gomez passed the ball back to midfield, turned around and ran.
Benfica made a through ball from the midfielder.
Gomez quickly eats Mateus alive.
Font came out a little late, and the connection between him and Matthäus is very fragile. It is the easiest place to be caught on this defense line.
And a powerful center like Gomez really caught it!
boom!
Gomez dared to complete a long shot before Fonte came out.
Although Schmeichel was well prepared, Font still affected Schmeichel's judgment somewhat.
Moreover, the quality of Gomez's world wave is extremely high.
"GOAL!"
There were loud cheers from the Stadium of Light.
[PS: Everyone in my family is suffering from yang. Tao Zi currently has a fever with a body temperature fixed at 37.5 degrees. She has headache, dizziness, sore throat, fatigue, and muscle aches. I’ve taken a test and it’s not positive yet. It’s possible that it’s just a common fever (if you still have a common fever now). I’ll continue to pay attention tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
But whether it’s positive or not, this fever is really uncomfortable. I sat in front of the computer all day and couldn’t write a few words]
