Section 146 Young Battlefield (Part 2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 At this moment, the Zaragoza team faces a difficult choice: continue to attack and seek to continue to expand the lead, or retreat to the half and use defense to limit the opponent's attack? If it were Depor last year, this choice would be simple.

Just retreat and defend. For an older team with more competitions, the younger and lighter Zaragoza can intimidate the opponent without hesitation in defense, even with injuries, and limit the opponent's midfield and forward play.

The creativity of the field allows the opponent to get lost in his own intensive defense.

However, there was a young man younger than them active in the Depor team, Rey, who was under 17 years old, so Zaragoza's coaching staff hesitated and did not make timely adjustments. But after a few hesitations,

Within minutes, Depor actually scored again!

This time, it was an attack jointly launched by Victor and Pablo on the right. They advanced to the right side of the front court with a two-two. Instead of continuing down the line, they passed horizontally along the line of the penalty area to the slightly empty center. And this time

Wang Ai on the left saw the opportunity and started running toward the baseline with the opponent's defender, trying to open up a gap for the pass.

The two threats of the ball just now made Zaragoza very wary of Wang Ai's cross. His move caused the opposing players to follow him and run towards the baseline. As a result, Belleron, who had just received Victor's cross, was unable to do anything.

Someone was marking him, he pushed the football with the arch of his foot and crossed the line of the penalty area. At this time, his speed had picked up and his pace had been adjusted in place. The final result is self-evident: Deportivo won the ninth in the second half

Minutes later, Belleron scored two goals to equalize the score.

The excited Beleron jumped up and pounced on Victor, Pablo and others, and then hugged Wang Ai who came running. This time, although Wang Ai did not touch the ball, he used his off-ball movement to mobilize the opponent's formation, giving Bailey a

Lélon's attack in the middle created an opportunity. Now Belleron doesn't care much about what the national team coach thinks of him. With his thin body, it is impossible to turn into a standing midfielder, at least in the short term.

And he is almost thirty years old... Instead of painfully entering into an impossible self-transformation, it is better to give full play to his own advantages and develop his own characteristics.

If the national team doesn't want him, there's nothing he can do about it. Belleron thinks very clearly that if he sacrifices his own characteristics, even if he joins the national team, he can only be a substitute. Instead, he can use his own characteristics and have the possibility of being used as a surprise player.

Among Depor teammates, Rey's experience best proves this point. He has no physical advantages, but he can establish himself in the national team, and even in Depor, a strong team in La Liga. He relies not on the "warrior spirit" required by the Basques, but on

This is his specialty, and the "forced" head coach has to use him.

David Villa looked blankly at Belleron in the celebrating crowd, and then at his own coaching bench. Originally this was supposed to be a conversation between young people, but why did the old guy jump out unwillingly?

What should we do next? Continue the attack?

This time, Zaragoza no longer hesitated. Seeing that Depor's morale was boosted, if we played against each other again, our opponents might start scoring goals against us. So, the head coach waved his hand, and Zaragoza fully

Retreating, their purpose is to drag the old guys who are young and older in frequent matches into overtime!

Irueta also noticed this and frequently gave instructions to the team on the sidelines, asking the players to resolutely resolve the battle within 90 minutes.

Deportivo attacked aggressively, even attacking without any worries, because the opponent's sharpest arrowhead, the "gourd", had already retreated to the half-court to participate in the defense. The inexperience of Zaragoza's youth army was also exposed.

He came out, which did not create a minefield for Depor in the backcourt, but allowed the experienced veterans to concentrate on attacking with confidence and boldness.

The half-time attack and defense battle became the theme of the last half hour of this King's Cup final. Zaragoza was filled with smoke and dust in the half-time, and everyone was on their backs. Fortunately, Zaragoza's young people moved relatively cleanly, and Depor's stars were not too nervous.

He was very angry, so he was almost never shown a red or yellow card. The two sides were in a struggle between organization and destruction, offense and defense. Relying on their young body and strong fighting spirit, Zaragoza dragged the draw into the second half of the second half.

Forty minutes.

During this period, Wang Ai's performance was a little relaxed. Compared to the sweaty Hornets, he didn't even sweat much. After coming to the ball, he worked hard to help his teammates or directly transition, and did not show a strong desire to attack. Seeing that

As the game was about to end, Zaragoza's delaying strategy was about to succeed, and when the players' fatigue surged up like a wave, Wang Ai knew from Belleron's hint: The time has come!

In the 41st minute of the second half, Belleron took the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area. This time he resisted the collision of the opponent behind him. Although he staggered a little, he still did not lose the ball. At this time, Wang, who had been "invisible" on the left side of the court,

Ai suddenly ran over to receive the ball. Belleron pushed the ball, and Wang Ai, who was running at high speed, took the ball to the right. Wang Ai's sudden movement out of the lineup attracted the defender behind Belleron, and he

The moment he moved his body and released the pressure on Belleron, Wang Ai twisted around and passed back behind him while running. Belleron got it first. Faced with another central defender stepping forward to intercept, he did not stop the ball.

The ball was passed to the right again, and was received by Wang Ai who came forward with understanding.

At the same time, Belleron did not stop. After the football was passed, he stepped directly to the side of the opponent's central defender. At this time, Wang Ai, who received the pass from him, did not stop the ball and crossed with his right foot.

The pass was pushed and the football was in place.

Belleron tiptoed to meet the incoming ball. The ball had not yet crossed the goal line, but the smile on his face was already blooming.

Thousands of Depor fans on the court shouted "Ah" in unison, and the whistle sounded almost simultaneously with the referee's effective whistle.

Belleron opened his arms and pounced on Wang Ai, and the two excitedly jumped up and hugged each other in mid-air. This was a wonderful cooperation between the two most creative players in Deportivo's frontcourt. In less than ten seconds,

Continuous passes, from outside the penalty area to the goal line, turning the densely defensive Zaragoza defense into nothing, especially the three or four defenders in the middle, who were simply flown by the two of them smoothly.

The frequent passing of the ball without stopping makes the player dizzy.

Intensive defense? Set up a bus? As long as two players with superb footwork and tacit cooperation are enough! Irueta on the sidelines held his chest high with his hands behind his back.

In the last few minutes, Zaragoza launched a crazy counterattack, and the frustrated young people launched a vented attack, but just when they showed their fangs, Deportivo smashed them back with a stick.

It was Wang Ai again, and Belleron again, and it was another exquisite cooperation between the two, which almost replicated the successful scene of the last attack, but this time, the opponent's lineup was sparser. Although the player marking Wang Ai knocked down this

A 16-year-old boy, but he had successfully completed the pass before falling down.

After passing the ball, he didn't even look at it. He laughed and looked up at the Spanish night sky. Then he heard the fans' shouts of "Ahhh", the referee's whistle and Belleron's running footsteps.

Voice.
