Chapter 1431 Double-edged sword

PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

PS3: I would like to thank my book friend "Tianyuan Hanqi" for the reward.

"I'll pull it, why did Robben practice this move now?" Seeing Robben scored a goal that was considered a world-class wave, even Zhuang Mingge was shocked by the reality in front of him. "We probably have trouble next. Robben's goal has greatly improved the morale of Lazio. If they use this momentum to create an offensive wave, even our Fiorentina's defense line would probably be difficult to resist."

In Zhuang Mingge's memory, Robben's trick to force inward and shoot in the far corner was only developed after he was troubled by injuries and had to seek transformation. He finally achieved great success in his time at Bayern Munich. How could he appear in this world so many years ahead of schedule?

Zhuang Mingge, who has never had any experience as a player, and is not a talented star like Robben, certainly wouldn't know that for Robben and Ronaldo, developing such a move is actually not a difficult thing. The only question is whether they have the patience to practice this move well enough.

Generally speaking, stars like Robben have developed a new move or offensive weapon that can greatly increase their threat on the offensive end, but the most serious thing is that Robben's direct arc shot after cutting inward is exactly matched with his technical characteristics, which can almost be said to be very perfect!

Unlike traditional wingers who rely solely on speed and explosive power, Robben made breakthroughs more with changes in speed, agile running and delicate dribbling techniques. He rarely overtook unreasonably, which made defending him a very difficult thing. Therefore, when Robben, who is used to using his left foot, appeared on the right and successfully combined his breakthrough that was extremely difficult to defend in one-on-one situations and the inward shooting, the Dutchman's threat on the offensive end immediately increased a lot!

Unlike Zhuang Mingge who was worried in the box, Mourinho on the sidelines was still very calm at this moment, and calmly directed the Fiorentine players on the side. He could not see that the team's lead had shrunk to only one ball: "Andre (Pirlo), tell Daniele (De Rossi), next time, you should pay more attention to the left defense. Robben is not something Christian (Zivo) can handle alone. I need someone to help him double-team defense at that time, and you must never give him a chance to form a one-on-one situation on the wing!"

"But boss, if we do this, our defensive power in the middle will become weak." Since the game has not started again, Pirlo still has some time to discuss some issues he is more concerned about. "Drogba and Ronaldo are also very threatening players on the offensive end. Is it really okay for us to empty them like this?"

"Believe in my judgment, Andre." Mourinho knew very well about Pirlo's concerns, and knew that double-teaming Robben would inevitably relax his defense against Robben and Drogba to a certain extent, but now, he must make a choice. Otherwise, Zivo's side would definitely not be able to defend Robben's inward cut shot. "Although Robben contributed a lot of assists and had a very broad view of passing, he still seemed a little too unique on the court. Only when he could solve the problem himself would consider passing. Therefore, as long as we can grasp the scale of double-teaming, he felt that as long as we work hard, he could get a chance to shoot, Drogba and Robben would never get much pass from Robben. In this way, our defense line became safe..."

Players of Robben's style, if they are used well, they will be the world's best winger or even top superstars, and if they are not used well, they will trigger the fuse of the team's conflict. Although Mourinho is not very clear about this, the Portuguese coach who is good at analyzing and grasping the opponent's weaknesses can still find some clues based on Robben's series of performances in Lazio this season.

The timing of the end of Mourinho and Pirlo's conversation was just right. Before the referee could come over to warn the two, Pirlo returned to the court. Mourinho also made an apologetic gesture to the referee, indicating that he had no intention of delaying the game.

So, after the game restarted, Lazio, who tasted the sweetness on Robben's side, did continue to attack from the right side of the court as Mourinho expected, trying to find a breakthrough in this area, and recovered the gap between the two teams with only one ball before the end of the regular match time of 90 minutes.

As Pirlo was worried, Lippi was indeed planning to let Robben's main attack attract Fiorentina's defensive power and create scoring opportunities for other players. Of course, if Fiorentina is not fooled, then Lazio can directly use Robben's super personal ability to open a breakthrough on the right, and maybe he can use the same trick to tie the score again.

The reason why Ronaldo, who is equally outstanding in ability, is mainly because compared to Zivo, Zambrota, who is responsible for the right defense of Fiorentina, is much more stable and has richer experience. Therefore, even if the Brazilian elves can match Zambrota, they will spend a lot more time and energy than Robben's side. What Lazio lacks the most now is the extremely precious game time.

However, what annoyed Lippi was that at this critical moment, Robben's Mavericks' attributes burst out again inappropriately. Faced with the double-team defense of Fiorentine players, Robben did not choose to pass the ball to Drogba and Ronaldinho who had already run out of the position for two consecutive times, but insisted on dribbling the ball into the inside. As a result, he forced his foot to shoot twice and once broke the ball and flew out of the baseline, without any substantial threat!

Seeing this scene, Lippi had to sigh and thought to himself that Robben is indeed a double-edged sword. If you kick it smoothly, you can indeed make any team tremble. If you don’t have a smooth foot, you can even cheat your people to death.
