The Portuguese and Palmeiras, who are about to start a war, are undoubtedly the two teams most likely to win the championship this season. In comparison, other teams are far behind them in terms of points and strength.

.

In the last meeting with Palmeiras this season, the Portuguese finally lost 2-3 on the away road, so this home game became the best opportunity for revenge. In addition, the two teams

There is now only a two-point difference, which makes the outcome of this game even more critical.

If they win, the Portuguese can immediately get rid of the point difference, allowing themselves to occupy a very favorable situation in the next game, and they can also be more comfortable in arranging their troops. Otherwise, they will lose the hard-won gains.

The top position has been given away again, and the situation of winning the championship will become complicated and confusing. Therefore, this is destined to be a game that neither side can lose, and they will definitely try their best in the game.

At 5 pm on October 9th at the Calder Stadium, the 29th round of the Portuguese home game against Palmeiras officially started at this moment.

The reason why Palmeiras can rise strongly in the league this season is naturally closely related to the coaching of their coach Vanderlei Rosenborg. He has coached many wealthy teams, including the Galaxy.

fleet.

Although they exited this year's Copa Libertadores early and just failed in the Brazilian Cup, as long as they can successfully make a comeback in the league and finally win the championship, it will still be a success for Palmeiras.

It was a successful season.

Palmeiras's offensive ability is also very strong, but if they compete with the Portuguese team, they will most likely lose in the end. In comparison, their defensive ability is quite reliable. So when weighing

After some deliberation, Rosenborg chose a counter-attacking style that was rarely used during the season.

Judging from the situation on the field after the start, Luxenberg's tactical arrangement did play a certain role. At least for a considerable period of time in the first half, it effectively delayed the Portuguese's offensive momentum, and their counterattacks from time to time also failed.

It caused a lot of trouble to the other party.

But it was the away team that scored first. The Portuguese, who had been unable to attack for a long time, caught fire at the back goal. In the 26th minute, Palmeiras midfielder Danilo Neves misdirected a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

In an accidental collision, it hit Jorge's body and was refracted, causing Dyna to be caught off guard and lose the ball.

With this somewhat lucky goal, Palmeiras took the lead in the away game. After that, their confidence in preventing counterattacks became even stronger.

"Vanderlei, are we being too conservative if we continue to play like this? I feel that the Portuguese are actually just like this. I believe that based on the current situation and the performance of our opponents today, even if we change our formation and come back

There is a big chance of winning, and besides, this is the style our team is used to!" Seeing that the coach was still there, the assistant coach of Palmeiras felt a little uncomfortable.

"That goal just now was a fluke, and you only saw some superficial things. The opponent actually didn't use all his strength. Of course, what you said is not unreasonable. It is really not our specialty to defend all the time. It will inevitably fail in the long run.

There will be times of negligence. Just wait, at least let the players deal with the first half first, and in the second half I will consider changing the formation when appropriate." Luxenberg responded.

On the other hand, this situation has no impact on Mourinho, who is famous for his defensive skills. For him, such situations have long been commonplace. His eyes are now focused on Li Zhao

It seems that he is the key to solving this problem.

At this time, Li Zhao was also worried and annoyed about this problem, but the crux still lay with himself. He had no problems in normal offensive and defensive links, but he did not have any problems in the several free kick opportunities that appeared on his own side.

He can grasp it well. The main reason is that he really wanted to successfully use the "Three-Body Meteor" move, but the actual results were not satisfactory, and the success rate may be slightly lower than usual.

"It seems that I am too persistent. If you want to successfully perform this move, you still have to rely on your feelings. If you are not in good condition, you will lose more than you gain. Then lower the difficulty. Maybe it will be miraculous!"

At this moment, Li Zhao suddenly had some insights.

Facts have proved that his conjecture was not wrong. Whether he can score a goal is the most important thing on the football field. As for whether it looks good or not, it is secondary. It will be much easier to deal with the problem after simplifying it.

The Portuguese team once again got a good free kick opportunity in the 39th minute of the game, but this time Li Zhao did not continue to try that trick, but kicked the elevator kick that he is usually best at.

In the end, such a blow worked, and he successfully deceived the opponent's goalkeeper who was accustomed to his previous free kick kicks, and evened the score in one fell swoop.

This goal effectively boosted the morale of the Portuguese players, and they continued to use this momentum to suppress the opponent's firepower during the rest of the first half. And at the end of the first half,

In the injury time period, the Portuguese successfully achieved a lead in the score.

The goal scorer was Wang Ziyi, and he himself is just like Wu Xia Amon. Through diligent study and hard practice, he got rid of the "rough technique" label at the beginning, and now he can also rarely play some technical skills. After Gao Hongyu's ball passed to

Behind his feet, Wang Ziyi actually used Marseille's pirouette to pass the two opponents, and then used the "flying meteor" shot he learned from Li Zhao to score his 19th goal in the league this season.

.

Although he can't compare with Li Zhao, who scores a lot of goals, he can barely be regarded as the second place in the team's scorer list this season. In the Brazilian top scorer list, Wang Ziyi also ranks fifth.

.

From taking the lead to being tied and then falling behind, it was a big blow to the Palmeiras players. The second goal just conceded was naturally related to their mental laxity in defense. And with Mourinho

Rosenborg was very good at keeping up with the opponent's moves. He quickly adjusted the players' emotions through a series of training sessions during the halftime break, and after returning from the second half, he adjusted the formation to a normal offensive and defensive balance.

type.

This arrangement also had a good effect at the beginning of the second half, which made the Portuguese team unable to adapt for a while, and the opponent equalized the score in the 53rd minute of the game.

The goal was scored by Alessandro, who came on as a substitute for Palmeiras. He slipped in front of the goal after rushing into the opponent's penalty area. He originally got up slowly and was about to rush back.

But good luck also came at this time. A long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area by the Palmeiras midfielder was bravely rejected by Dana, but it happened to hit Alex.

Sandro, so he succeeded in picking up the leak.

Although it seems that both of Palmeiras' goals were suicide attempts, who can say that luck itself is not a part of strength.

However, Palmeiras' luck seems to have been almost used up. Although they still had several good opportunities in the following time, they were unable to seize them again. On the other hand, the Portuguese adapted to their opponents.

After the rhythm started, they were not given a better chance, but it was obviously not easy to break through the visiting team's door in turn, so the two sides fell into a stalemate.

However, the cruelty of the derby in the same city also made both sides make a lot of moves on the field. Time passed slowly like this. When the game entered the 80th minute, the players from both sides had already received a total of 2 reds and 5 yellows. In terms of red cards,

Each side had one, and most of the yellow cards were concentrated on the away team. Fortunately, there were no injured people, but the endurance of both sides has almost reached the limit. If there is further loss that is too large, it will be more than the gain. This is also

The consensus of both coaching staffs.

If the game ends with a draw like this, Palmeiras can reluctantly accept it, but the Portuguese side may not, especially in such a frustrating way.

"Luck will not always be on one side. I believe that as long as we continue to fight, our luck will eventually come." Mourinho is very open-minded about this.

The outcome of this game is indeed of great significance, but to put it bluntly, it is just one of the key games in the 38 rounds of the league throughout the season. It does not mean that you will definitely win the final championship after winning it. There is only one final game left in the league.

There are still considerable variables in the 9-round situation. So whether we can win or lose at the last moment depends more on luck.

As the Portuguese player who can most determine the direction of the game, Li Zhao is always looking for any chance, but he has never succeeded in regular ground penetration. However, the balance of fate still favored him, and during the game

In the 88th minute, the Portuguese once again got a free kick in an excellent position, and this may be his best chance, just because he felt that his mysterious state seemed to be coming back.

Li Zhao didn't hesitate at all, and the speed of his kick this time was also extremely fast. The football drew an arc that defied physics in the air, and then, under the incredible gazes of others, it moved in the opposite direction to the opponent's goalkeeper.

It went to the other side of the goal and finally fell into the net.

3-2, the Portuguese took the lead again. Although Palmeiras did not give up in the last few minutes and launched several counterattacks, they failed to change the score again. And Li Zhao also relied on
Chapter completed!
