Chapter 360 The Gap
Chapter 360 The Gap
"Milito is off" This is Cagliari's third shot since the opening, and only 6 minutes have passed.
"Strong suppression" After the start of the game, Cagliari showed strong strength. In these 6 minutes, PSV Eindhoven only took the ball across the half-court once, not to mention shooting.
Through these 6 minutes, Eindhoven felt the strength of Cagliari. Before the real contest, Eindhoven felt that Cagliari might be good, but he was definitely not much stronger than himself.
But now, the players of Eindhoven have the most intuitive and profound experience. The team in front of them may have been in the middle and lower reaches of the league or even the secondary league before, but at this moment, they are very strong.
Hiddink is an experienced coach, and he made a lot of arrangements before the game, but even so, he still underestimated the strength of Cagliari.
No.12 minutes, Eindhoven ushered in their first shot in this game, a long-range shot from the veteran Cocu, after receiving a return pass from Hesselink, Cocu directly bombarded the goal.
Petr Cech took the long-range shot firmly, and then Cagliari launched a quick counterattack and attacked. Facing Eindhoven, Li Yi once again chose to use offense to suppress his opponent.
Although the tactics are the same as the captain Juventus in the first round of the quarter-finals, the effect is completely different. Compared with Juventus, Eindhoven is indeed weaker.
Although there are some very good players in the Eindhoven team, in fact these players are also good, far from being able to compare with the Juventus players.
So after the start of the game, Cagliari took the absolute initiative. In No. 14 minutes, Cagliari ushered in another shot, an inside cut from the wing.
Valbuena broke through Lee Young-pyo with the ball from the wing, then cut inside, then entered the PSV penalty area, and then shot hard before the defensive player could react.
Gomez, the Brazilian goalkeeper reacted very quickly. Gomez, who just joined PSV this season, quickly impressed Hiddink with his outstanding performance, and firmly occupied the position of the main goalkeeper.
From the opening game to the current performance, Gomez's performance is indeed good, and several shots from Cagliari were resolved by Gomez.
But if the team's defense has been relying on the goalkeeper, it will not be far from conceding the ball. After all, Gomez is not Petr Cech, and the Brazilian goalkeeper is still a long way from the top goalkeeper.
Soon, Cagliari also verified this point. The game came to No. 203 minutes, Ribery received a split from Montolivo, and then the French broke out and directly threw away Park Ji-sung, who was retreating and defending.
In Eindhoven, Lee Young-pyo and Park Ji-sung are the absolute main players. In addition to relying on Guus Hiddink, the performance of the two is still quite good, otherwise these two will not both enter the Premier League.
However, Park Ji-sung is now facing Ribery. It is no exaggeration to say that Ribery is already one of the best players in today's football and is about to enter the ranks of superstars.
The main reason why Ribery cannot be called a superstar is the limitation of Cagliari. There is a superstar who is not in a wealthy family. As long as Ribery transfers in summer, he is an out-and-out superstar and can enjoy the highest salary in today's world football.
As the only top league team in Sardinia, Cagliari is not without the opportunity to be promoted to the giants, but the chairman of the club does not have enough financial resources and ambitions.
Bouma wanted to stop Ribery, but in the end he could only become the background board for the Frenchman to break through, cross-cut and rush into the penalty area. Ribery didn't mean to stop at all.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLGoal scored No. 204 minutes of the game, Cagliari scored the first goal of the game."
"Assists from Ribery, the Frenchman rushed into the penalty area with the ball and attracted Alex's attention, so that there was no defense around Milito." Facing this opportunity, Ribery made the most sensible choice.
In the stands, when the city was in a frenzy of celebration, Li Yi on the sidelines was not excited, because he had a premonition that he would not have to wait too long for a goal.
This is a crushing of strength. From the beginning of the game, Li Yi felt that there should be no suspense in this game, and Ribery's goal now proved this point.
Li Yizi, at this moment, Li Yi can be completely sure that Eindhoven is really a soft persimmon, of course, even if the opponent is a soft persimmon, Li Yi will not take it lightly.
On the pitch, the game started again soon after the celebration. Eindhoven wanted to counterattack and retaliate. However, under the supervision of Li Yi and the high morale after the goal, Eindhoven's counterattack did not cause any waves.
On the contrary, Cagliari seems to want to rely on this goal to go all out. Facing such a strong attack from Cagliari, Hiddink on the sidelines decisively changed his tactics.
Since it is total attack and total defense, the defense must not be bad. Hiddink led the Korean team to the semi-finals. In addition to the shamelessness of the Koreans, Hiddink himself played a vital role.
Hiddink has already considered this point in this game. As an experienced head coach, he will definitely not die with one tactic in a game.
Defensive counterattack, as Cagliari became stronger, Eindhoven began to retreat, so it also withstood Cagliari's attack to a certain extent.
In the following period of time, it was difficult for Cagliari to actually send the ball into PSV's penalty area. In terms of long-range shots, Cagliari seems to have no luck today.
Conte, Ribery and Montolivo all shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball failed to really threaten PSV's goal.
Cagliari failed to really threaten Eindhoven's goal in the following time, and similarly, Eindhoven failed to threaten Cagliari's goal.
Although Cagliari uses offense instead of defense, in fact Cagliari's defense line remains quite complete, and even the three lines are very tightly connected.
Hesselink is not that kind of speed forward. This Dutch striker is a typical center forward. Although he has good skills, his height of 1.9 meters has brought him many restrictions.
It is said that Hesselink came to Eindhoven as Ruud van Nistelrooy's replacement. After the king of the penalty area moved to Manchester United, Eindhoven bought from Twente.
However, the first few years in Eindhoven were not good, and it was not until this season with Kežman's departure that he really became the core of the striker.
In the end, the score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the first half. Both sides failed to score in the second half of the first half, but the scene of the game was not ugly.
Last night I was thinking about squatting in bed for a while, but I overslept
