Maritimo took the absolute initiative on the court, but Gao Yuan's expression turned serious.

Because through this period of fierce attack, Gao Yuan discovered that the opponent's defense line was very strong.

No wonder Hidehito Yoshikawa said that the tactics of Red Bull Salzburg and Maritimo are very similar.

It turns out that in terms of defensive organization, both teams did a very good job.

Dong Lu, a famous Chinese cross talk football commentator, once said, "Defense relies on organization, and offense relies on concealment."

Although this statement is biased, it also makes sense. At least it shows that a defensive system can be practiced.

Whether a team is well-trained depends on whether the positioning of offense and defense is coordinated and well-organized, and whether the defense is well-organized.

Compared to the multinational forces on the offensive line, most of Salzburg Red Bull's defensive players are local Austrian players.

These players from the same country have a better understanding of language communication, thinking, 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 comes from the same origin as the German. He is tall and strong and has excellent heading skills. Maritimo's high-altitude ball does not have much advantage. Whether it is a long pass from the backcourt or a cross from the wing, he is easily defeated by the opponent.

Dissolved.

Maritimo's other great weapon is his personal direct attack. Whether it is Wang Zi's personal breakthrough, Ronaldo's flash pass at the front of the penalty area, or Vukovic's long-bridge shot with the ball, everything has always been successful in the past.

Can pose a great threat.

However, Red Bull Salzburg's defense is very layered, and the defense and protection between the players are very good. As soon as Maritimo's forward line gets the ball, two or three defensive players will surround them in a zigzag pattern, without giving up.

Opportunities for offensive players to threaten the goal.

Gao Yuan has played against many strong teams in the past two years, but there are really few that can organize such a tight defense.

Even for top clubs like Real Madrid, defense relies more on the personal abilities of players. To be blunt, apart from Maritimo himself, Gao Yuan has never seen any team that can forge such an excellent defensive system.

.

If that was just the case, Gao Yuan actually didn't have to worry too much.

Because football games are affected by comprehensive factors such as physical fitness, mentality, technology, tactics, etc. Just because the opponent can defend without leakage in the first 30 minutes does not mean that they can have such intensity for 90 minutes. If the entire game can remain the same

With the defensive focus and intensity, then Red Bull Salzburg will not only be the Austrian Super League champion, but have already won the Champions League!

Besides, if the opponent always only devotes energy to defense, then the offense will inevitably be weakened. By then, Maritimo's defense will be safe, and he can devote more energy to offense, posing a greater threat to the opponent.

.

But the horror of Red Bull Salzburg's defense goes far beyond that.

In the 28th minute, Maritimo's offense made a comeback.

The ball passed through and reached the edge of the penalty area, where Ronaldo took the ball.

This is close to the Ronaldo area. If you start, you should be sure.

The opponent's defense also realized that something was wrong, and captain Ulmo rushed out to intercept. Ramalho and Welch beside him were separated on both sides to protect the defense.

Ronaldo played very smartly. After making a fake shot, he took advantage of the opponent's slow movement and immediately passed the ball to Wang Zi on the side, and then moved forward without hesitation.

Wang Zi kept playing the ball and pushed it forward. The ball accurately passed through a tiny gap between Welch and Ulmo. The direction, strength, and angle were all perfect. The ball just came forward.

At the feet of Ronaldo.

Although Red Bull Salzburg's defense is tight, there are gaps in it. What's more, in high-intensity confrontations under high pressure, 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, with only the opponent's goalkeeper Kleinensen in front of him.

For a star of Ronaldo's level, such a shot is as easy as a common occurrence!

Because he got rid of the defender, Ronaldo even had time to adjust his shooting posture, lightly nudged the ball with the instep of his outside foot, 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 with his hand!

Ronaldo is indeed a world-class star. His reaction is far beyond ordinary people. He saw where the ball bounced 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 will be undefended! At this time, hitting the ball through the crotch is the most reasonable choice!

But the opponent's goalkeeper didn't even move, still maintaining the same posture as before, and blocked Ronaldo's shot!

J Lo lost his center of gravity due to his efforts in stabbing, and fell to the ground.

Looking from the bottom up, the opponent's goalkeeper, who is 1.96 meters tall, looks like a god in front of the goal!

"Wow~" A sigh of regret erupted from the stands.

While the fans regretted that James Ronaldo did not seize such a good opportunity, they also lamented that the goalkeeper of Red Bull Salzburg was so lucky. He defused James Ronaldo's two consecutive must-goal shots without even moving!

But for those who know the rules, on the Maritimo bench, the legendary Portuguese goalkeeper Baia jumped up in surprise and exclaimed: "Perfect K-type save!"

The K-type save was originally a save action commonly used by goalkeepers in five-a-side football matches.

The key is for the goalkeeper to predict the angle of the shot when facing the opponent's one-on-one shot and make a K-shaped movement to block it in advance.

The so-called K shape means that one knee of the goalkeeper is down. The other knee is perpendicular to it to form a barrier, and the body should hold up the chest and raise the head, open the arms to try to expand the defensive area. From a distance, the goalkeeper's posture

It's like a big English letter "K".

This action is simple to say, but not easy to execute.

First of all, the distance between the two legs cannot be too large, otherwise it will be easy for someone to penetrate the crotch, 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 two attempts.

save.

Moreover, the goalkeeper must have a correct prediction of the opponent's shot, clearly see the area where the opponent is going to shoot, and which foot to use, so that he can decide whether to retract the left knee or the right knee.

In addition, great requirements are placed on the goalkeeper's stature and courage. Only a goalkeeper who is tall enough and fearless when the opponent kicks off can stretch his body to the limit and expand the defensive area to the extreme.

In recent years, this action, which originally originated in the five-a-side field, has been increasingly used in the 11-a-side field. Neuer, De Gea, and Alisson have all used this classic saving move to resolve opponents.

Striker's single sword.

But now, the opponent's young goalkeeper, who is only 18 years old, made a perfect K-type save when faced with Ronaldo's shot from close at hand!

This save fully demonstrated Kleininsen's height, wingspan, fighting skills, psychological prediction, pressure resistance and other comprehensive qualities.

It’s true that one man is the one who can block everything!

And this is not the first time Kleinensen made a perfect save in this game.

Previously, he had blocked several threatening shots from the home team.

As the game progressed, Red Bull Salzburg's defense was no longer so impeccable, but the young Kleininsen single-handedly built an insurmountable barrier in front of the goal!

In the 31st minute, Vukovich and Aguilar played an exquisite cooperation and penetrated Red Bull Salzburg's wing defense. Vukovich made a cross from the bottom line in an inverted triangle. Kleininsen predicted it in advance.

On the line, a tiger pounced and intercepted the ball halfway.

The accuracy of the prediction, the timely interception, and the ferocity of the save were astonishing!

In the 33rd minute, Danso sent an exquisite cross from the wing. This time Dzeko finally got a position, jumped high, and was about to head the ball towards the goal. But Kleininsen was like a roc spreading its wings.

, flew out from in front of Dzeko and picked the ball steadily in the air.

Kleininsen's explosive power, jumping ability and prediction of landing point once again amazed the audience.

Two minutes later, Joao stepped out of space in front of the penalty area and fired a shot.

The ball hit hard and went straight into the blind corner. It seemed unstoppable, but still, Kleinensen, who seemed to have divine help, swooped sideways and dragged the ball out of the baseline!

His movements were extremely stretched, and there was an obvious lag in the air.

This guy is amazing!

This is the emotion in everyone's heart.

And Gao Yuan remembered Yoshikawa Hidehito's evaluation: This guy has no solution!

A good goalkeeper can hold up half the team. With Kleinensen in front of the goal, Red Bull Salzburg can completely free up its hands to make trouble on the counterattack.

If only the goalkeeper was excellent, Gao Yuan actually wouldn't have to worry too much. But this Red Bull Salzburg team is one that Hidehito Yoshikawa says is hard to beat.

Gao Yuan believed that the proud Hidehito Yoshikawa was by no means a liar. There must be a reason for him to say that.

A team that can score 5 goals against Ofsberg in the Austrian Super Cup cannot only have good defense and a great goalkeeper.
