DB's trouble stems from inconsistency in thought.

There is a famous saying on the football field: The most dangerous score is 2:0.

Because after leading by two goals, the team is prone to pride and complacency, and may lead to reversal due to relaxation and slackness.

According to statistics from authoritative institutions, the final winning rate of the team that leads 2:0 in the game is not as good as that of the team that leads 1:0.

In the knockout match in the two-round match system, this conclusion should be corrected as: the most dangerous score is 2:2 away.

Because holding two away goals in hand is definitely a huge gain. And it is still a draw at the moment. If the game ends here, the balance of victory will be tilted towards the away team!

But in fact, the game is not over yet. The home team who is forced to the dead will rush to attack the visiting team with all their might.

The visiting team will fall into the quagmire of inconsistent thoughts.

Some people want to defend, stop when they see it is good, and then resolve the battle when they return to home;

Some people want to attack, and they will make a big move to completely defeat their opponents on the away game;

But more people are hesitating, watching, thinking repeatedly, weighing, and worrying about gains and losses...

It is precisely the inconsistency in thought that leads to indecisive tactical execution, which ultimately leads to passive and confusion in the scene.

After the score equalization, the DB team's effective wingback propulsion tactics were unable to be played again.

The wingbacks in the 3-5-2 formation have tactics that require very high requirements for two full-backs.

When defending, they are full-backs; when attacking, they are full-backs, or even wingers.

But now, the score was tied 2:2, and the enthusiasm of the two wingbacks on the set was greatly weakened. But they did not want to give up offense completely and simply act as guards to defend. Under this mentality, their position was neither up nor down, hanging in the "mid-air", which was not very helpful to both offense and defense.

The DB team's tactic in this game is to rely on two wingbacks to assist, just like the team's two wings. Now the two wings are no longer working, and the team cannot fly.

So, in the last ten minutes of the game, the DB team played poorly and the scene was completely at a disadvantage.

Members of the DB coaching team all saw the problem, but they did not agree on the solution.

"The scene is a bit passive. Should I take Shao Jie and Liao Lei back first and stabilize the defense?"

Baalista reminds Gao Yuandao with concern.

"You can't stop! At this time, it's time to attack! The opponent is at the end of his strength, and he will push forward regardless of the emptiness of the rear. If we can steal one and win the game at this time, it will be much easier to play at home!"

Han Peng put forward different opinions.

"You mean to play against the opponent? What a joke, this is Sao Paulo! What if you lose the ball when you attack?" Balista retorted dissatisfied.

"So what about St. Paul! Are we still trampled on the regular season? We are afraid of two away goals in hand! Losing is not the end of the world. There is still a chance to return to home court, but if we score another one, we will completely defeat them! If you don't fight, how can you know you can't win?" Han Peng also argued excitedly.

“······”

Two straightforward guys were fighting each other, but Gao Yuan, the "highest decision-maker", looked gloomy and silent.

This scene seems familiar!

Last season, in the FA Cup final, he and Fabio had such a fierce argument, and they were reluctant to give in to each other. But the team's coach Li Xiaopeng was unable to make a decision for a long time.

At this moment, Gao Yuan finally realized Li Xiaopeng's mood at that time.

As aides, others can stand from their own perspectives and put forward their own opinions. Anyway, they don’t have to make their own ideas. The head coach is the one who makes the decision in the end. They just need to stick to their own opinions.

But the head coach is different. Any decision he makes is the final decision and affects the overall situation. If he is not careful, the team will be in a desperate situation. How could he not walk on thin ice and be in the abyss?

Of course he can choose to defend the game, which is the safest way. But he is unwilling to give up. Hundreds of millions of domestic fans are paying attention to this game, and scouts from countless professional clubs in Europe are also watching him command. Do you have to choose a conservative draw? Do you want to be as mean as other domestic coaches?

But if you attack, what should you do if you lose? The good situation will be in your own hands!

Between the gains and losses, Gao Yuan hesitated.

So, he made a mistake that countless coaches had made before: he decided to wait a little longer.

As for what he is waiting for, he himself doesn't know.

This is actually a "ostrich mentality". When encountering difficult problems, leave your destiny to God to decide, and you are just waiting negatively.

"Xiao Gao, in this situation, the worst decision is that there is no decision! If you can't even make a decision, the players will only be even more inconsistent." Liu Jindong reminded from the side.

Gao Yuan sighed, "Wait first, I will observe the situation on the field."

Liu Jindong wanted to persuade him something, but he finally held it back and just shook his head slightly.

For more than ten minutes, it was fast, but it was very slow. Every minute and every second seemed to be painful. Gao Yuan watched the game in his eyes, but his mind was a battle between heaven and man.

The desire for offense overwhelms the defense, and the idea of ​​defense gains the upper hand again.

The players on the DB's field also frequently turned their attention to Gao Yuan on the sidelines, hoping that their leader can give everyone a guide as usual.

However, no clear instructions were obtained.

Finally, Gao Yuan and DB paid the price for their hesitation.

At 87 minutes of the game, Sao Paulo was still advancing slowly.

El Nanes, Neves, Everton, and Felipe used their best tide to get rid of the ball, stop and play, and gradually penetrated the ball into the front of the DB team's penalty area without anyone noticing.

The ball came to Pato's feet again.

Pato's style of playing football is different from others. His talent is stronger, and his years of playing football in Europe have also made his style more concise and direct.

It can be said that he is the team's transmission. When the ball hits his feet, the running speed suddenly accelerates.

The DB defense team obviously failed to adapt to the changes in rhythm.

Zhou Yong, who was defending him, was overwhelmed by a crotch.

Then Pato was running at high speed and suddenly pulled the ball down, and a Marseille swing passed Batul who was resting on defense.

But there is Kusai in front of him.

Facing Kusai's airtight defense, Pato could no longer rush forward and could only walk around Kusai like the rest of the team.

Bring the ball to the bottom line in the penalty area.

Kusai was extremely strict in his eyes, making him unable to break through or shoot.

So Pato had to choose to pass the ball. When Pato brought the ball to the near bottom line, he suddenly made a "flower-arranged foot" without any warning. His left foot was extremely hidden behind his right foot, passing the ball to the back point of the goal.

When the three central defenders received the middle of the penalty area, the two full-backs should be responsible for protecting the two wings.

Specifically on this side is Liao Lei’s defense range.

But Liao Lei was a little slower because of his defensive hesitation, and was taken a step ahead by Felipe and blocked him.

Liao Lei is 1.7 meters tall and Felipe is 1.84 meters tall. He was snatched in front of him again. Liao Lei had no choice but to witness Felipe pushing the ball into the net like a big roc spreading his wings.

3:2

St. Paul overtakes the score again!

Damn it! Gao Yuan kicked the mineral water bottle on the sidelines with anger.

He was angry with himself! It was his indecision that caused such a result!

Is it really the fate of Chinese coaches to lose their chains at critical moments?

After being scored a decisive goal by his opponent, Gao Yuan seemed to be hit by a loud slap in the face, completely awakening him.

Attack! Attack quickly!!!

However, it was too late and there was little time left for the game.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

Due to Gao Yuan's on-the-spot command mistake, the DB team was unfortunately killed at the last moment of the game and lost the first round of the game.
Chapter completed!
