Maritimo took the absolute initiative on the field, but Gao Yuan's expression became serious.
Because through the onslaught during this period, Gao Yuan found that the opponent's defense line was very strong.
No wonder Yoshikawa Hidetoshi said that the tactics of Red Bull Salzburg and Maritimo are very similar.
It turns out that in terms of defensive organization, both teams have done a very good job.
Dong Lu, a famous Chinese comic football commentator, once famously said, "Defense depends on organization, and offense depends on Mongolia."
Although this remark is biased, it also has some truth.At least it shows that the defensive system can be practiced.
Whether a team is well-trained, one depends on whether the offensive and defensive positioning is coordinated and has routines, and the other depends on whether the defense is orderly.
Compared with the multinational forces on the offensive line, most of the defenders of Red Bull Salzburg are local Austrian players.
These players from the same country have a tacit understanding in terms of language communication, thinking awareness, and playing habits, and their long-term hard training has also made their defenses consistent and uniform.
This line of defense caused a lot of trouble for Maritimo's offense.
The Austrian is of the same origin as the German. He is tall and strong and has excellent header skills. Maritimo's high-altitude ball has no advantage. Whether it is a long pass from the backcourt or a cross from the side, it is easily resolved by the opponent.
Another great weapon of Maritimo is personal direct attack.Whether it's Wang Zi's personal breakthrough, Ronaldo's flash pass at the front of the penalty area, or Vukovic's long-horse dribbling shot, they have always caused great threats in the past.
But Red Bull Salzburg's defense is very layered, and the defense protection among the players is very good. As soon as Maritimo's forward line gets the ball, two or three defensive players will outflank it in a zigzag shape, preventing the offensive players from threatening the goal.
Gao Yuan has played many strong teams in the past two years, but there are really few that can defend so tightly.
Even a top giant like Real Madrid relies more on the personal ability of the players in defense.To put it bluntly, apart from Maritimo himself, Gao Yuan has not seen any team that can forge such an excellent defensive system.
If that's all, Gao Yuan doesn't have to worry too much.
Because football games are affected by comprehensive factors such as physical fitness, mentality, technology, and tactics.The fact that the opponent was able to do a watertight defense in the first 30 minutes does not mean that they can have such intensity in 90 minutes.If the same defensive attention and intensity can be maintained throughout the game, then Red Bull Salzburg will not only be the champion of the Olympic Super League, but will have already won the Champions League!
Besides, if the opponent always only devotes energy to the defense, then the offense will inevitably be weakened. At that time, Maritimo's defense is safe, and he can devote more energy to the offense and pose a greater threat to the opponent.
But the defensive terror of Red Bull Salzburg is far more than that.
In the 28th minute, Maritimo's offense made a comeback.
After passing the ball to the front of the penalty area, J Luo took the ball.
This is close to Ronaldo's area. If you start, you should be sure.
The opponent's defense also realized that something was wrong, captain Ulmer rushed out to intercept, and Lamalio and Welch were separated on both sides to protect and assist the defense.
Ronaldo played very smartly. After making a fake shot, taking advantage of the opponent's slow movement, he immediately crossed to Wang Zi on the side, and then he went forward without hesitation.
Wang Zi didn't stop the ball, and pushed the ball forward. The ball accurately passed through a tiny gap between Welch and Ulmer. The direction, strength, and angle were all perfect.
Although Red Bull Salzburg's defensive line is tight, there are also some gaps, not to mention the high-intensity confrontation under high pressure, and the decline in physical fitness will inevitably lead to a decline in concentration.
But this mistake was fatal!
Ronaldo received the ball in the penalty area, only 5 or 6 meters away from the goal, and only the opponent's goalkeeper Cleninson was in front of him.
For a star of Ronaldo's level, such a shot is as easy as it is commonplace!
As he got rid of the defenders, Ronaldo even had time to adjust his shooting posture, rubbed his outer instep lightly, and the ball flew towards the goal lightly.
Just when Ronaldo was about to celebrate, he found that the ball was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper!
Ronaldo is worthy of being a world-class star, and his reaction is far beyond ordinary people. He saw the point where the ball rebounded, and immediately poked it with his toe, trying to hit the ball through the goalkeeper's crotch!
Under normal circumstances, if the goalkeeper stretches his body to the extreme, his crotch is defenseless!At this time, hitting the crotch ball is the most reasonable choice!
But the opponent's goalkeeper didn't move, still maintained the posture just now, and blocked Ronaldo's stab shot!
J Luo lost his center of gravity due to his strenuous stabbing and shooting, and lay down on the ground.
Looking from bottom to top, the opponent's goalkeeper with a height of 1 meters is like a god in front of the goal!
"Wow~" A sigh of regret erupted from the stands.
While the fans lamented that Ronaldo didn't seize such a good opportunity, they also lamented that the goalkeeper of the Red Bull Salzburg was really lucky.
But the expert looked at the doorway, Maritimo was on the bench, and the legendary Portuguese goalkeeper Baia jumped up in surprise, screaming: "Perfect K-shaped save!"
K-type save was originally a save action commonly used by goalkeepers in futsal matches.
The essential is that the goalkeeper predicts the shooting angle when facing the opponent single-handedly, and makes a K-shaped action in advance to block.
The so-called K-type refers to the goalkeeper with one knee down.The other knee is perpendicular to it to form a barrier, while the body should be raised with the chest up, and the arms should be opened to expand the defensive area as much as possible.From a distance, the goalkeeper's posture looks like a big English letter "K".
This action is easy to say, but it is not easy to execute.
First of all, the distance between the two legs should not be too large, otherwise it is easy to be pierced by someone, and the hanging knees are suspended in the air and cannot touch the ground, because only in the suspended state can the goalkeeper adjust his posture in time and get up quickly to make a second save.
Moreover, the goalkeeper must have a correct prediction of the opponent's shot, see clearly the area where the opponent is going to shoot, and which foot to use, so that he can decide whether to shrink the left knee or the right knee.
In addition, there are also great requirements for the goalkeeper's stature and courage. Only a tall enough and fearless goalkeeper can stretch his body to the limit and expand the defensive area to the extreme when the opponent kicks.
In recent years, this action originally originated in the five-a-side arena has been increasingly used in the 11-a-side arena.Neuer, De Gea, and Alisson all used this classic saving action to resolve the opponent's striker.
But now, the opponent's young goalkeeper, who is only 18 years old, made a perfect K-shaped save in the face of Ronaldo's shot from close at hand!
This save fully demonstrated Cleninson's comprehensive qualities such as height, wingspan, saving technique, psychological prediction, and ability to withstand pressure.
It's really true that one man is in charge of the other and ten thousand is not allowed to open!
And this isn't the first time Cleninson has made a perfect save in this game.
Before, the home team had blocked several threatening shots in a row.
As the game progressed, Red Bull Salzburg's defensive line was no longer so impeccable, but the young Cleninsen used his own strength to build an insurmountable barrier in front of the goal!
In the 31st minute, Vukovic and Aguilar played an exquisite cooperation, penetrated the side defense of Red Bull Salzburg, and Vukovic made an inverted triangle cross from the bottom line.Cleninson actually predicted the line in advance, and a tiger rushed to intercept the ball halfway.
The accuracy of the prediction, the timely interception, and the ferocity of the save are astonishing and staggering!
In the 33rd minute, Danso sent an exquisite cross from the side. This time Dzeko finally got his body, jumped high, and was about to head the goal.Cleninson flew out from Dzeko's eyes like a big roc spreading its wings, and picked the ball steadily in the air.
Cleninson's explosive power, jumping ability and prediction of the landing point once again amazed the audience.
2 minutes later, Joao flashed open in front of the penalty area and shot a burst.
The ball was heavy and went straight to the dead corner. It looked unstoppable, but Cleninsen, who was like a god, swooped sideways and dragged the ball out of the baseline!
His movements are extremely stretched, and there is an obvious hang in the air.
This guy is amazing!
This is the emotion in everyone's heart.
And Gao Yuan remembered Yoshikawa Hidetoshi's evaluation: This guy has no solution!
A good goalkeeper is worth half of the team. With Cleninsen in front of the goal, Red Bull Salzburg can completely free up their hands and make fuss about counterattacks.
If it's just a good goalkeeper, Gao Yuan doesn't have to worry too much.But this Salzburg Red Bull is an existence that Hidehito Yoshikawa said is difficult to beat.
Gao Yuan believes that the proud Yoshikawa Hidetoshi is definitely not a person who speaks nonsense, and there must be a reason for him to say that.
A team that can score 5 goals in Aufsberg in the Austrian Super Cup can never be just a good defense and a good goalkeeper.
Gao Yuan is faintly worried, when will the offensive ability of Red Bull Salzburg show up?
