Midfielder.

Chapter 409

How terrible it is to let the Portuguese fight back as they please. Perhaps the Russians have a deep understanding, just like the game they lost at the beginning of the qualifying round.

Don't let the Portuguese team control the rhythm at home. This is the slogan repeated countless times by the Russians before the game. They know the lesson of being controlled by their opponents. The score of [-] to [-] is bloody.

At the beginning of the game at the Stadium of Light, a goal was scored at the beginning, and then the opponent began to use unscrupulous counterattacks, which made the Russian team's tough defense line full of holes.

Now this game is replicating the original scene again, the Portuguese scored first, and they also began to gradually control the rhythm of the game on the field, so that the Russians had to follow their own rhythm.

The Russians knew they couldn't hand Portugal the initiative in midfield, but they were a little helpless.

Although their coach was still yelling loudly from the sidelines, "Press! Don't let the other party control the ball!"

The guy's voice was definitely loud, but his roar didn't change the embarrassing situation on the court.

Understanding it does not mean they can do it, just like the current game process, the Russians want to control the midfielder, Karpin, Smertin and the newly promoted Arshavin are all working hard.

They tried to use their strong bodies to contain the Portuguese's cutting and counterattack, but the ideal is full, but the reality is often very skinny. Just like now, they can't control anything.

Karpin can be regarded as a veteran player on the green field. He is better at organizing offenses, but the playmaker of the Russian team can only be forced to return to the midfield to get the ball. What is the threat?
Smertin, Russia's newly-elected Footballer of the Year, no longer has the feeling of being a leader in the Russian Super League. He can only be an engineer in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Said that the engineer is actually a bit flattering Smertin. If he is an orthodox defensive player, he can intercept the opponent's pass once or twice, but now this sad footballer can only run back and forth.

No way, Smertin is also very depressed now. It's not that he didn't run with his life, nor did he never think about intercepting the opponent's pass. Even the dirty work of man-to-man defense has been done by this guy.

However, Smertin's physical fitness is not less consumed, but the effect achieved is pitiful. Many Russian fans are still booing for his poor performance as Mr. Footballer. No wonder this guy is depressed.

I really don't blame these players, including the host who explained the game on the sidelines, I can't bear to blame them. It's really nothing. The Portuguese didn't give the Russians a chance in the midfield.

Passing the ball and running positions, the Portuguese team has fully utilized their flexible skills and skillful running positions. The small-scale cooperation between three or two people is often able to play around with several opponents.

Smertin is a typical example. He is not incompetent, otherwise Chelsea would not have spent a lot of money to buy him, but the midfield constructed by Lin Yi and Deco did not give him a chance to perform.

Especially Lin Yi's performance made Smertin very distressed. This kid seems to have changed his sex today.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Lin Yi seldom took the initiative to break through with the ball like he did in the Chelsea game, except for the assist for the first goal, the kid was passing the ball for the rest of the time.

This is Lin Yi's performance after taking the lead. He seldom dribbles past others on his own initiative, but this kid's passing and flexible running support also caused headaches for the Russians.

Smertin was already very wary of his teammate, but he was more worried that this kid's breakthrough with the ball would mess up his defense, but now it seemed that he was still wrong.

Even if he doesn't need to break through to disturb the opponent's kick, Lin Yi can still dominate the rhythm of the game.

As Smergin had seen so often at Chelsea, Lin Yi's passing could kill as well.

And now it seems that the accuracy of his passing is even sharper than in the Champions League final.

In the past, this kid was still a little sticky to the ball and used to keep the football under his feet all the time. Now all these problems are gone. After receiving the ball, Lin Yi rarely even made a few adjustments to the football.

Almost as soon as the ball reaches his feet, Lin Yi will pass it out immediately, and this kid's choice of passing route has always made the Russian very uncomfortable. Every time he passes the ball, he can find the opponent's weakness.

Fast speed and high accuracy are Lin Yi's first impressions of the Russians. Now those who want to clamor for Lin Yi and the Portuguese team have probably shut their mouths.

Including those Russians who had been singing the national anthem in the stands, they are now completely sluggish.

Unlike the performance of the Russians, the Portuguese team's offensive momentum was very violent, as if they were the one behind in the game, and they were doing everything they could to tie the score.

Especially the players in the midfield, they almost immediately started to counterattack after they missed their attack.

Including Ronaldo and Pauletta, who rarely take the initiative to attack, also began to kick hard when pressing.

For this reason, Ronaldo also received a yellow card for his over-excited anti-grabbing. You can imagine how fierce these guys are, as if they were not afraid of such intense physical contact at all.

This seemed to be a radical change from what the Russians estimated before the game. The Portuguese are not sissy, and they are not afraid of such tit-for-tat physical collisions with their opponents.

With the Portuguese team's offensive momentum becoming more and more ferocious, all the Russians need to worry about is losing the ball again.

And it seemed that there was no way to avoid such a thing, and the Portuguese's offense became more and more fierce.

Almost every Portuguese player passes the ball through Lin Yi's feet. This seems to be the consensus of everyone. It is the most correct choice to give the ball to the kid and let him assign the route of the ball.

You know, the last time Russia and Portugal met, Deco hadn't performed like this.

Now Lin Yi has positioned himself at the core of the midfield without his opening performance. Before the start of the game, Scolari just let this kid appear in his best midfielder position.

But now it seems that Lin Yi has positioned himself as the core of the midfield in advance. Most of the Portuguese team's offense is initiated by his feet, but the effect is indeed very shocking.

No one has counted how many passes Lin Yi sent in the 10 minutes, but the Portuguese fans didn't put their butts on the chairs at all during the 10 minutes, they kept shouting loudly.

Of course, they couldn't just cheer for the first goal for so long. In the past 10 minutes, they were simply enjoying the game. The Portuguese team's offense has completely suppressed their opponents.

Smertin has nothing to say to Lin Yi now, because he really doesn't know what to do with him, so what?He really thought about it, but he couldn't even catch Lin Yi's shadow. That kid just strolled in the courtyard for a while in the opening stage, and he never stopped after that.

Now no one knows the running distance of that kid Lin Yi. Anyway, everyone is watching Lin Yi running non-stop. He seems to have no intention of stopping at all. Even if the ball is not under his feet, this kid's He didn't stop running, and almost kept running through the frontcourt.

This kind of unsparing physical strength is like a sharp sword, which can pierce the Russian defense at any time, and you can't catch Lin Yi at all, so you can only follow him in such a futile way. , Smertin even felt that his breathing had become abnormal.

That perverted guy, I guess Smertin has cursed Lin Yi countless times in his heart now, just because of this little lunatic who plays for the same team, he is almost regarded as an idiot by some fans, such a bad performance, Where is there a little bit of Russian footballer's demeanor?

It is estimated that there are not a few Russians who think the same as Smertin, especially those who predicted before the game that Lin Yi would not start, now they know that they are really an idiot, and their evaluation of Lin Yi will not To change the current passive situation of the Russian team, we can only watch helplessly.

The Portuguese fans are admiring the crazy performance of Lin Yi and the team, but the Russian team, which is determined to win the opponent, can only follow the rhythm of the opponent with a depressed face. Their sad coach is standing on the sidelines, Helplessly watching the team slowly fall into the opponent's trap.

It's a very simple way of attacking. The Portuguese team's offense is not fancy at all, but their precision is terrific. The frequent switching and interspersed running of midfielders and strikers is simply tearing the Russian team's defense apart. It was messy, and the fragile line of defense seemed precarious.

"Is that kid's physical fitness so good?" When Mendes saw Lin Yi running so crazily, he could only ask Faria next to him. One month's reserves can make this kid strong. to this extent?Faria's tone of question was definitely contemptuous.

"If he was a normal person, he would definitely not be like this, but you forgot, he is a little lunatic. During this month, his daily rest time did not exceed eight hours. Other than that, he grasped everything Time to train, and now he has such a performance, it is all in exchange for sweat."

What Faria said was the truth. He didn't increase Lin Yi's training, but that kid Lin Yi consciously competed with himself after training every day, which made him have to adjust his training plan several times, and he dared to Bet, when Lin Yi is in the national team, he will definitely give himself more weight after regular training.

Although Lin Yi didn't say anything to him, looking at the boy's gradually bulging muscles and his darker skin, Faria knew that Lin Yi's performance today was all due to his own hard work. Football is like this. In addition to your talent, you also need to have a desperate attitude.

Otherwise, sooner or later, you will become useless because you have exhausted your talent.

There are too many examples of this in football, and every year one or another genius falls freely.

Lin Yi is talented, and likewise, he is also very desperate. Scolari can also feel this. He often sees Lin Yi running on the court after daily training. Although his training is very simple, it is just some The foundation, but this kind of persistence every day is not something ordinary people can do.

Although Scolari and his assistant coach have told Lin Yi separately that excessive training will damage the body and don't let the muscles be in a state of fatigue all the time, but the kid just smiled in response, and the intensity of the training is still not high. Change, this kid seems to know it all the time.

After observing for a week, Scolari and his coaching staff still gave up such persuasion, because they could also see that the kid's training plan was specially formulated for him, and every time his physical exertion would To the limit, but the speed at which he recovered was astonishingly fast.

Attitude is everything, and it may be that Lin Yi's state and his integration with the team made Scolari decide to give him the main position. You know, the price Scolari will pay for this decision is very likely It is to let Figo, the former boss of the Portuguese team, sit on the bench for a long time.

But now it seems that such appearance is worth it. Scolari was a little worried at the beginning of the game, but all this seems to be unimportant now. The kid has used his actions to become the commander on the field. Everyone They are all competing around him, obeying this kid's orders.

However, after nearly 10 minutes of non-stop running, Lin Yi is also a human being, and he can feel the fiery feeling in his chest, but he doesn't want to stop before breaking down the opponent's defense. For him, this is For his own game, he must grasp the pulse of the game from the very beginning.

One to zero?That's not the purpose. If you want to kill the opponent, you have to continue to work harder. The Russian team is just stunned by the Portuguese's combination of punches. They haven't forgotten whose home field it is, and they will react after they react. To counterattack, what Lin Yi had to do was to kill them completely.

Smertin was still chasing behind Lin Yi, maybe he wanted to rely on his familiarity with Lin Yi to help the team defend, even if it could slow down the kid's attacking rhythm, because he knew very well that if so Keep going, your team will lose the ball sooner or later.

But before Smertin could really stop his little teammate, Lin Yi had already acted one step ahead of him. After oppressing the Russian team's defense for nearly 10 minutes, Lin Yi once again drove at high speed from a place more than 40 meters away from the goal. Starting, he who has never chosen to break through with the ball, suddenly made a change.

Originally, Lin Yi was going to send a through ball to Deco, but the midfielder of the Russian team approached Deco at this time, as if he was ready to steal the ball directly. In such a moment, Lin Yi gave up the through ball. The intention of passing, a light ball on the outside of the foot, and at the same time winking to Deco.

After all, he was a partner before. Deco was very familiar with Lin Yi's pass. He made a fake move to turn around after catching the ball to attract the Russian player behind him, but Deco didn't Instead of stopping the ball, he sent it straight forward in the direction that Lin Yi had started.

An accurate and extremely fast pass, combined with Lin Yi's high-speed start, almost instantly, the defensive players in the midfield of the Russian team were left behind by Lin Yi, and the unlucky guy Smertin was even more so. Deke blocked the way, trying to keep up with Lin Yi?It was really a dream.

The Russian team's already messy defensive line was completely disrupted by Lin Yi's breakthrough this time. The two central defenders were about to pounce on Lin Yi at almost the same time. For them, being mentally tortured by this kid After waiting for a long time, now maybe I just want to put him down hard.

But before the collision of these two Russian hunks killed him, Lin Yi took the first step to poke the football out of his feet. He raised his head to observe, and suddenly poked it with his toe.

The football ghostly passed between the two hunks. Although the two guys got what they wanted and bumped into Lin Yi, the goalkeeper of the Russian team wanted to scold her, because those two idiots not only failed to stop the football , It even made the Russian team leak two opposing players from the penalty area.

Ronaldo and Pauletta's double ghost hit the door. When the Russian fans saw this scene, I don't know how many people covered their eyes with their hands. The distance between them was less than six or seven meters, even if they were 1.9 meters away. He's tall enough to lie down in front of the goal line, and he can't block the opponent's shooting angle at all.

In the end, this sad goalkeeper could only watch Ronaldo's calm kick. He didn't even make a save. Such a distance and shooting power, unless God is wearing this clothes, otherwise it will be blocked at all. Unable to stop, he could only watch helplessly as the football plunged into the net.

Two to zero! After Ronaldo scored a goal, he didn't do any crazy act of taking off his clothes to celebrate. He just turned around and looked at Lin Yi who just got up from the turf. He stretched out his hands with excitement and roared loudly. , "Damn it, I knew it, you must be able to pass the ball over!"

Lin Yi looked at the roar of his old opponent who had been competing with him for a long time, and he put a smile on his mouth, "Next time I will never pass the ball to you kid at the risk of being kicked and broken by the opponent, grandma, After you scored a goal, you didn’t know to come over and hug me, and you still stood there and yelled.”

Guess Lin Yi regretted it after saying this, because it wasn’t just Ronaldo who jumped at him, but a group of beasts galloping towards him. Seeing this scene, Lin Yi even felt that it was Chelsea’s group of beasts. It appeared again, sir, it turns out that all animals in the world are of the same virtue!
When Ricardo came over to have fun, a Portuguese reporter pressed the shutter and left a classic photo of stacking arhats. The stacked group of guys now looks like a complete team, and The boy who can command them is being suppressed by them.

Only his right hand was still slapping on the turf, er, if the kid hadn't raised his middle finger at that time, maybe the effect of this photo would definitely be considered perfect, but now. . .
