The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

Chapter 28: Signs from the Portuguese National Team; Mario Trying to Steal Amorim's Number

No mushrooms needed.

There's no need for sunflowers.

One half

Mario successfully planted the red flag on top of the flagpole next to the castle and won the highest reward.

Having received a huge reward, Ines collapsed onto the Simmons mattress with her hair disheveled.

The Super.M printed on the back of the number 22 national team jersey perfectly demonstrates the strength of this promising young talent.

With his head resting on the cushion on the bed, Mario took out his phone to check the training camp notice sent to him by Portugal's head coach Bento.

As for why Ines knew this?

The answer to this had already been found in previous interrogations involving torture.

The downside of Apple's suite of products is that devices at home will receive the recall message simultaneously.

Therefore, to celebrate even more, Ines went straight downstairs to the store, bought a jersey, and had Super Mario's name printed on it.

Although wearing the oversized battle suit and breast claws felt great, Mario remained secretly wary.

Sharing passwords between couples can easily lead to secrets being leaked!

The disappearance of the red dot on her social media private messages proves that this woman is quite curious.

Fortunately, Mario is a good young man who is against marriage, and he can simply enjoy the services of Ines, who is spontaneously engaging in a frenzy, without having to bear any moral burden.

Spending a little money and borrowing some exposure resources is possible, but becoming the hostess is completely impossible.

Mario isn't as foolish as Wang Shi.

At any time, the most important thing for a man is his career, the resources and power he holds.

After touching the hair of the victor's pendant beside him, Mario, in a state of slumber, focused his attention on the news article on his phone screen.

Comparing the timing of the text message with the time it was published, it's likely that his stunning performance in the Champions League hat-trick played a significant role.

Portugal actually suffered a severe shortage of football talent during this period.

Who is the midfielder wearing the number 10 jersey?

Amorim, whose total transfer fee in history is 100 million euros!

That's right, the coach who would later be constantly adjusting the pieces on the tactical board in the rain, only to be fired by Manchester United in the blink of an eye.

...

Mario, who is successful at both the club and national team levels, isn't even considered a big name in this news story.

The headline list only features Ronaldo and Nani, but considering that Pepe, Coentrao, and Moutinho are also unknown, Mario felt a bit better.

Just wait, from now on, the name Mario will be at the very beginning of the title!

Portugal announces World Cup qualifier squad: Ronaldo and Nani lead the way, with three key Real Madrid players.

On October 5th, the Portuguese national team announced its latest World Cup qualifying squad.

Real Madrid's three stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, and Coentrao, continue to lead the team, with Nani providing attacking support, and Porto's rising star making his debut in the squad!

Portugal's national team will play Russia away on October 12, and then host Northern Ireland in Porto on October 16.

Both matches were 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

Goalkeepers: Patricio, Eduardo, Beto

Defenders: João Pereira, Miguel López, Bruno Alves, Pepe, Neto, Sereno, Coentrao

Midfielders: Veloso, Meireles, Moutinho, Amorin, Mikael, Mario

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Varela, Postiga, Piz, Oliveira, Eder

- [Haha, that reminds me of that meme! "I have no obligation to pass the ball to Ronaldo," and now Mario is actually in the national team!]

- [Don't spread rumors, this is the media taking things out of context! Mario only said that as a midfielder, you need to read the game, not that you have to look for Ronaldo for every ball!]

- [Cristiano Ronaldo: I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already getting impatient? It's good to let newcomers experience the national team atmosphere.]

Super Mario is finally going to play for his country! Cristiano Ronaldo, are you ready to be his wingman?

-【You bunch of rebels, can you even tell the difference between the major and minor kings?!】

- [After Napoli's failure to pass the ball, now Ma has also failed miserably. It's really tough for Ronaldo to lead Portugal!]

- [The midfield partnership between Mario and Moutinho is the most anticipated part of this national team squad update; their combination play after coming on as substitutes in the Champions League was incredibly inspired!]

When the two of them are on the field together, Moutinho has to drop back, and their defensive solidity is too poor. Unless the opponent is very weak, they seem unstable!

Enthusiastic netizens are considering Mario's place on the national team, while Pereira is in his office thinking about his nephew's tactical arrangements.

As the team's latest contract-renewed rising star, coupled with his stunning performances in the last two games, Mario will undoubtedly earn a starting position in the next match.

How can we better integrate my nephew into the team within the existing 4-3-3 system?

When Mario was a substitute, he only needed to consider maximizing the offensive threat, but after becoming a starter, it's no longer as simple as before.

On the tactical board, the number plates for Fernando, Gonzalez, Moutinho, and Mario kept moving.

The young players, whose defense is a concern, can only be locked into the attacking midfield position.

Therefore, Fernando and Gonzalez will have to work hard, taking turns on the field and running tirelessly to cover as much defensive area as possible.

Moutinho can drop back to become the playmaker in the backfield and create threats with long passes, or he can position himself alongside Mario to orchestrate attacks together.

With the midfield personnel finalized, Pereira began refining the details in the tactical manual.

The goalkeeper increased short passes to Moutinho's feet.

The right-back should reduce his forward runs to ensure safety on Moutinho's side.

The left-back position expands the width of the attack, opens up space on the left flank, and creates a strong side for the team.

Like a domino effect, Pereira's constant adjustments are aimed at integrating the entire team to maximize their benefits.

In his vision, Porto will achieve a dual-core linkage between the front and rear.

Moutinho can take over possession in front of the defense, using his vision and long passes to bypass the opponent's midfield defense and directly find the main players or wingers in the attacking third.

Mario, meanwhile, positioned himself up front, focusing on receiving the ball in the dangerous area between the opponent's midfield and defense, then turning to launch an attack.

This perfectly avoids his weaknesses in defense and physical confrontation, maximizing his creativity and long-range shooting.

When Sandro boldly makes a run down the wing and draws away the opposing right-back, it creates space for James Rodriguez to cut inside, or provides a long-range shooting opportunity for the main striker making a forward run.

At the same time, the young Otamendi needs to shoulder more responsibility and protect the defense by filling in gaps across a wide area.

The most important thing is the positioning of Fernando and Gonzalez: when Moutinho plays deep, their task is to sweep and intercept across a wide area, becoming an absolute barrier in front of the defensive line and making up for Moutinho's defensive shortcomings.

As a powerhouse in the Portuguese league, Pereira believes that such changes should be effective in the league.

It's perfectly reasonable for the dominant team to play an attacking style of football.

Pereira's mind was already conjuring up a series of attacking strategies.

Martinez receives a long pass from Moutinho with his back to goal, then passes the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, where Mario follows up with a long-range shot or a second play.

Varela cut inside from the right wing, drawing the attacking focus to the right side, and then quickly passed the ball across to the weak side, where Jackson, James Rodriguez, and Mario formed a three-man attack.

Excellent, excellent!

Furthermore, adjustments can be made for different teams!

Looking at Sporting Lisbon, their opponent in the sixth round of the league, on the schedule, Pereira smiled slightly.

[Mario, you've got your chance, don't let it slip away!]
