Chapter 552 The Decision of the Two Head Coaches
The Philips Stadium was noisy. The Dutch fans who came to the scene were nervous for 45 minutes. They took the time to discuss and rest freely, but their topic was still inseparable from the game. The two teams became two to two in the first half, but they were discussing the goals of Newcastle United.
Sevilla's goal seems to have been ignored by the fans...
In fact, there is nothing we can do. The fans naturally pay attention to the beautiful goal. Compared with the two goals of Newcastle United, Sevilla's goal seems too mediocre. Two goals, the first is Don Jack's half-time world wave in the middle circle, and the second is Don Jack himself who broke through the half of Sevilla's defense with the ball and pass the ball to Owen to make a score. The two goals are really wonderful. In contrast, Sevilla's goals are too 'mediocre'.
Although they are all scores, the fans are obviously more happy to see the 'good ball'.
In fact, for coaches, they prefer to see the former, that is, Sevilla's goal.
It is impossible for a team to completely rely on the performance of a star to win the game. Such a team will certainly not last long. Sevilla's goals are mediocre, but that is the result of their team's cooperation, and the two goals of Newcastle United are 'Jack'. If there is no Jack Don, I'm afraid the current score will be Two is more than zero or more.
Whenever he thought of this, Sones couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
This is the last game of Newcastle United this season. He shouldn't think about this, but Soness has prepared for next season. He can't help thinking about this, and this is what he thinks is the biggest hidden danger in the team. If the team's brunette boy leaves this summer, next season How to play Newcastle United's game?
He is at a loss...
But now is not the time to discuss this. Soness shakes his head and doesn't think about it. The game is the most important thing. Especially in this game, he must lead the team to victory and win the League Cup, so at least the team will be perfect this season.
It doesn't matter exactly how to win.
.........
In the locker room on the south side of the stadium, Sevilla coach Juande. Ramos looked restless. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the team's strategy in the second half of the game.
especially... The team's defensive problems.
If there is no last ball, Ramos may not have a headache at all, because Sevilla has always had an advantage before. Even if the situation is pulled back little by little, the advantage still exists, and on the whole, Sevilla scored two goals, which shows the gap between the two teams.
There is no if...
When Newcastle United scored, Ramos had a headache. The No. 10 boy on the opposite side drove half of the team to defend. There were no three defensive players. It was too difficult to stop that guy, but if more than three players defended, the other players of Newcastle United would definitely have a lot of free time. People are almost inevitable.
"No, we should apply for the game against Newcastle United before the game. We should play 13 people!" Ramos just thought about it.
In his opinion, thirteen people are enough, three to defend the black-haired boy, and the remaining ten are against the ten of Newcastle United. How fair... Now Ramos is completely unsure. Sevilla has performed well this season, but the current situation is a headache for him. In history, Sevilla has never been so close to the European championship. If he has a chance, he will fight for it as much as he can. If he can get a UEFA Cup champion, maybe...
'Juander. Ramos' name will be written into the trophy showroom in Seville!!!
"Honor!"
Thinking of this, Ramos's heart became hot!
He hasn't experienced this excitement for a long time. Now the team is so close to the champion, which is the reason that makes it more difficult for him to make tactical decisions. If the team loses, the championship will pass by Sevilla.
Ramos kept walking, forcing himself to calm down and deal with the current situation.
But how should that black-haired boy defend? In the first half, Sevilla worked hard for the whole half and attacked for 45 minutes in a row, but the No. 10 guy 'flashed' twice and made Newcastle United equal. This difference in goals was really uncomfortable.
For now, other Newcastle United players don't care about Ramos at all, even Michael, who has performed well. Owen, the calm shot in front of the goal still remains in the minds of many fans, but after all, he is an ordinary player, just calm! What he needs is still a good opportunity, so who created the good opportunity?
It's still the 'hate' guy!
'Do you want us to block 11 players in front of the door and drag the game to the penalty shootout?' Ramos suddenly came up with such an idea, which scared him, but he immediately shook his head and gave up, not to mention whether the team can stay until the end, that is, using such a play to drag it to the end of the game, he is not confident in the penalty shootout: defending half and extra 30 minutes will wear away the player's confidence in the game. The chances of losing a penalty are equally high.
"If we could score more goals than theirs..."
Looking back on the first half of the game, Ramos had new hope. In the 45 minutes of the first half, the team could score two goals and draw with the other side. So why can't it continue like this and try to score two more goals? Coach, our final defense was not good, so how to play in the second half? Is there any change in our tactics?"
A group of Sevilla players gathered around Ramos, and captain Navarro couldn't help but ask questions. The half-time break is only 15 minutes. Ramos has been in place for five minutes, and there are only six or seven minutes left. He wants to remind the coach to pay attention to the time.
Ramos looked up and found that the atmosphere in the dressing room was very good. The spirit of the players was very good. Many players looked high-spirited. It seemed that they did not feel much difference and pressure in the first half of the game.
This looks good!
Ramos is more firm in his judgment. In addition, he feels that he needs to add some more encouragement to the players. We played very well in the first half. You all worked hard!" Ramos looked up and said to the players with a smile, "But we must make more efforts to win!" As you have seen, the other side will be tied up in the game with us, and their tactics are suppressed by us! Although they also have two goals, it is just the opponent's personal play of No. 10, which is rare. As a professional player, you should understand the difficulty and luck! There is nothing terrible about the other party. There is a gap between their strength and ours. As long as we work hard, the League Cup champion is ours!"
"Now the score is 2:2, and I hope the score will become 3:2, 4:2 or even 5:2 in the second half!"
The Sevilla players are excited. Nothing is more trustworthy than Ramos, who led them to a good result. Ramos pointed to Fabiano and said, "Louis, tell me, what do we rely on to win the game?"
Fabiano was stunned, thought about it, and said, "Goal, coach!"
"Goal..."
Ramos nodded, then shook his head and said, "You're right. It depends on the strength of the collective to score a goal!" Football is a team sport. In this sport, the strength of the individual is sometimes insignificant, and the strength of the group is the strongest! And we have group strength, opposite..." He pointed out of the window, in the locker room on the other side, and said, "The opposite team depends on individuals. They may win when they meet other players, but we are a Spanish team, we are Sevilla, and our team strength is the strongest!"
"As long as we insist on playing like this, we will prove again that football is a team sport, not an individual!"
If you haven't experienced the first half of the game, you must be confused when you hear Ramos, but all the Sevilla players understand that Ramos means to let them win with cooperation and defeat the opponent's Super Ten!
The battle of Eleven VS One! No suspense!
No matter how highly Sevilla players think of Don Jack, they don't believe that the other side can beat their team alone. As long as they work hard, the second half of the game will definitely belong to Sevilla!
Ramos rarely boosts morale, but his words made the Sevilla players feel very reasonable. They blushed and shouted one by one---
"The victory will belong to us, coach!"
"We are Seville, and we will win the League Cup!"
"Don't worry, coach, we will win!"
......
"Very good!"
Looking at the excitement of the players, Ramos is also relieved. With morale, he can say anything. Although all the games are fought with strength, morale definitely accounts for a large part of the victory factor. Now Sevilla has strength, unity and morale, so what is it afraid of?
Next, Ramos began to arrange the tactics of the second half.
He played well in the first half of the game. Ramos decided not to change his tactics, and he was not sure about other tactics, so he only gave a single point to the players in details, so that they could do better, especially in defense. Although he was confident, Ramos did not dare to be careless with the opponent's No. 10 defense.
........
Looking at the dressing room on the other side, Soness is also worried.
As Ramos thought, Sones also saw the team's current problems: all the goals depended on the team's No. 10 boy. This is very bad. If Don Jack doesn't have a good performance in the second half of the game, then the team is not going to lose!?
This is a crisis.
No coach wants to put the goal on a single player. Even after such a long time, no one will doubt Don Jack's strength, but his outstanding performance is unstable after all, in case... Soness hesitated, and he was also thinking about how to play in the second half to have a better chance to win.
Generally speaking, Newcastle United must score a goal if you want to win, but the current situation is not the case. Sevilla, a team with a strong Spanish style, has a strong restraint on Newcastle United. The team's attack can play, but the control of football, the team But I can't grasp it. This is the key to the difference between the two teams!
Control the ball!
This is a very serious problem. The other side has been trying to use continuous transmission to control the rhythm. This kind of play can't be played by Newcastle United at present. The backcourt players dare not pass continuously at all. They have no confidence in their own technology. Of course, they want to do this, and Soness is even more confident: in case What should I do if I lose the ball in the backcourt?
It's too dangerous!
Sevilla can't. They are used to this way of playing. With this way of playing, they can control the rhythm of the game!
So the disadvantage is Newcastle United. From the ball possession rate in the first half, it can be clearly seen that Sevilla's ball possession rate is 9%, 18 percentage points higher than Newcastle United Football Team, which is equivalent to Sevilla's possession time twice as much as Newcastle United, so their chances Naturally, it is much more than Newcastle United.
This is the reason for the disadvantage in the first half.
Knowing the reason, Sones has no solution. The team is indeed worse than the opponent in possession of the ball, which is inevitable. He believes that what needs to do now is defense. In terms of the team's goal, there is the team's No. 10, that is, Don Jack. In fact, there is still a guarantee to score, although Sones is not sure about Tang Jie in the second half. Ke can still score a goal like that, but Don Jack is the guarantee of the goal, which no one can deny.
As for defense?
The team that has always been good at offense has to think about defense, which is too difficult.
But there is nothing they can do. They must do a good job in defense, "mainly defense, supplemented by attack!" After thinking for a long time, Sones can only set this game strategy. This strategy has previously proved to be unsuitable for Newcastle United, but the first half of the game has proved that it is not as suitable as Sevilla's attack. Because the team can't organize the attack at all.
"We want to defend..."
In the locker room, Don Jack frowned when he heard this, but he thought about it carefully and agreed with Sonnes's analysis of the situation in the first half of the game.
In itself, the team really can't fight and attack. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to fight alone to attack to score a goal. In the usual game, other players of the team's performance in attack is not bad, at least the gap is not so big.
And now, in the finals, all you need is defense!
Defending to win is not a matter of saying. As long as you can keep it, it is not too difficult for you to score again. In the face of a team like Sevilla, the defensive counterattack strategy is the most correct, not to mention that Chelsea won Barcelona with this strategy last season?
The styles of the two teams are different, but the problems encountered are the same.
What Sevilla doesn't know is that after a midfield, Newcastle United has changed its tactics. Perhaps from this point of view, Sones is more courageous than Ramos. He dares to make a big decision to change his strategy. However, Ramos had to go backwards before the war, and finally followed the original tactics.
This is a gap in itself, but whether it is practical or not depends on the second half of the game.
