Chapter 256: The proof of the abandoned babies

"What a wonderful first half."

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Sans breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Garcia and said, "After all, it was an old fox, and he quickly controlled his emotions.

Garcia was a little regretful, but he still maintained his demeanor: "It's a pity that I can't tie for the championship, otherwise it would be even more unhappy if I win the championship."

"Yes..." Sans laughed hypocritically - I'm afraid that fools would believe such words...

"We performed very well in the first half, but after the lead, what are you doing? They actually grabbed the first place in the penalty area twice in a row! I really don't believe that your reaction was so slow! Well, maybe I shouldn't be too demanding, but in a game like the Champions League, if you don't demand yourself, it's going to hand over the championship and victory to our opponents!"

In Valencia's locker room, Cooper scolded the players sternly but not fiercely. Of course, he criticized the defenders' performance in the last few minutes and did not blame the overall situation - after all, Valencia's performance in the first half was not bad...

After seeing the players nod, Cooper relaxed: "Real Madrid's tactics are very successful today. To be honest, I didn't expect them to apply defensive counterattack to this point... Although their defense is not as strong as ours, there are many people who can participate in the defense, and our offensive ability is not very good... In the second half, don't be impatient, attack patiently, try to attack as fast as possible, pay attention to return to defense, don't give them a chance to counterattack, if they want to use counterattack to deal with us, then we must speed up the pace of our offensive and don't give them a chance to counterattack! After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, hand it over to Tiger or Claudio as soon as possible to launch a counterattack, don't press the defense line, once Real Madrid gets the ball, we must quickly return to defense, players in the frontcourt must counterattack on the spot, and defenders pay attention to the first place. In this game, we must not reveal more flaws than them, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Valencia's players answered in unison.

Cooper nodded, gave the players a good rest, and then sat alone on the side and began to ponder.

The difficulty of this game was much greater than Cooper thought.

Real Madrid's configuration is indeed better than Valencia. At least in addition to counterattacking, they are also very good at positional battles, because they are used to pushing the attack. There are high points like Morientes in the frontcourt, strikers like Anelka with excellent technical speed, Raul also has a very good sense of smell in the penalty area, and there are also good players on the wing road such as Carlos and McManaman. This is the biggest reason why they can score goals with a suppressed offense in the last stage of the first half.

What about Valencia? They lack centers and have few methods for strong attacks. Apart from long shots, they can only rely on Tiger's personal breakthrough.

But no matter how outstanding Tiger's breakthrough is, in football games, it is not enough to rely on one person's breakthrough alone...

"Next season, I must buy a better center forward! Increase the offensive ability of positional battles!" Cooper thought to himself.

Of course, next season is not the time to consider now. It is too late to regret not buying a center with strong impact, so Cooper can only put the rice on the pot.

Just when Cooper was having a headache, Tiger pulled Mendieta and chatted.

In the first half, he found that Mendeta's performance was average. Maybe it was because of psychological pressure. Tiger knew that it was not enough to rely on himself alone. Lopez could only harass under the opponent's strict defensive system. Mendeta's long shots and responses outside the penalty area will be a very important part.

"Gezka, I remember you had a lot of food before you set off, why did you look so powerless?" Tiger said to Mendieta with a smile.

He didn't use too much voice. Mendieta was the captain, and he also wanted to save face...

"Stop laughing at me, Tiger, yes, my performance in the first half was indeed not very good... This is what people who have never played in the Champions League finals are like this." Mendieta smiled bitterly.

"Hey, man, listen to me." Tiger wiped his hippie face and began to say to Mendeta very seriously: "You have to know that when I participated in the Champions League final last season, I was so nervous... I have said these words, but do you know which team I played for before going to Manchester United?"

"It seems to be a League One team." Mendieta has also heard of Tiger's past. After all, the English media has strong hype ability...

"Yes, Preston is also the team I debuted. But two years ago, I was not in the League One team, but in the League Two team, Preston. In fact, I was a gold medal in Preston at Preston. At that time, I was a reserve member of the League Two team, Preston... At that time, I was twenty-one years old." Tiger smiled.

"Hey, are your team blind? A player like you can't even play first-team matches in the English League Two?" Menditta shouted in surprise. He really didn't know this. Although he knew that Tiger was from a low-level team, there were not many such players, especially in English football. Because there are too many professional teams in England, there are only three professional teams in four levels, and other leagues are only professional at most.

"It's not that they were blind, but that I was really bad at that time." Tiger smiled and said, "I was so skilled at that time, and it was good among English players, but I was too cowardly at that time and didn't dare to fight against the opponent physically. I fell down as soon as I saw the opponent's direction and I wanted to run... That's right, it's just a coward who is afraid of physical contact. You know, in English football, players who dare not physically contact are useless."

"So that's how it is." Mendeta understood a little. English football is different from Spanish football. If Tiger was born in Spain, he might have received more attention. However, Mendeta was already attracted by Tiger's words at this time and wanted to know what happened later.

"Later, there was a bastard in our team who always liked to bully me. I was afraid that he would die... You know, I am a mixed Chinese and always suffered some discrimination. In addition, I was timid, so I ran away when I saw him, and he bullied me more and more. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that I might as well die if I was bullied like this. So when he bullied me again, I was going to fight him. Even if he was taller and stronger than me, I would still chew off a piece of meat!"

"That's right, that's what we should do!" Mendeta was born in Basque, and the people there were always strong people. Like Catalonia, they always wanted to separate from Spain. This can be seen from their team Athletic Bilbao who didn't accept players outside of Basque. These words from Tiger were considered to be in Mendeta's heart, but he also began to worry about Tiger, wondering if this young man would be beaten even more: "What happened later?"

"As soon as I was hard, he became soft, haha!" Tiger laughed: "When I saw that I wanted to eat people, that guy ran away with his tail! Now I knew that those guys who looked very fierce were actually a bunch of soft balls! Later, he wanted to use fouls to deal with me on the training ground, but I flashed over and used his skills to make him dizzy! Then I was not afraid of physical confrontation, so I played better and better, helping the team to advance to two levels in two years, and finally being spotted by Manchester United... Last season was my first time playing in the top league and the Champions League, yes, that was it at that time."

Tiger changed his story. Although he knew that it would not have been possible to accomplish such a miracle without the appearance of the main god space and Lin Danda's help, no matter what, it basically conforms to the facts - Tiger, who lacks fear, is becoming more and more brave on the field and is worthy of his name - Tiger, Tiger!

"Even so, you are very good. After all, the gap between the League Two and the top league..." Mendita shook his head and said sincerely.

"The game is like this, there are only so many opponents... They sometimes look very strong, but when you are not afraid of them, you will find that they are actually just like this. Not only are the players and the team opponents... What's wrong with the Champions League final? The final opponent is not an alien universe team! Isn't it Real Madrid? We meet twice in the league every year! Are they very good to us? We have not won them! Putting aside the halo of the Champions League final, is there any difference between this game and a La Liga? No! Gezka, how many La Liga games have you participated in? Do you still lack experience in playing La Liga? Since it is not, what are you afraid of!"

Tiger's words reached Mendita's ears, and they were very thunderous.

"Yes, isn't the opponent Real Madrid? Even before this season, when Tiger didn't come, Valencia didn't fall too much against Real Madrid! What's more, we are in such a good state and performing so well this season, what's there to worry about?"

Thinking of this, Mendita immediately felt enlightened.

"Tiger, you're right! Let's teach Real Madrid a lesson in the second half! Let them think about how we taught them a lesson at the Bernabeu last October!" Menditta laughed and said loudly.

"It's right! Captain! Isn't it Real Madrid?" Lopez also shouted loudly. He was next to Tiger and Mendita just now. He heard the conversation between them in his ears. Like Mendita, he also felt a sudden enlightenment!

Seeing Kili defending himself, Salgado is still confident enough - he was originally a right winger and he is also good at attacking. After changing to a right back, he changed from an ordinary winger to a full-back with both offense and defense!

Even Kili's defense is good, but an attacker wants to defend himself? What a joke!

Salgado ignored one thing, and Kili was never an attacker who only knew how to attack...

Several breakthroughs were blocked by Kili. Salgado controlled the ball in surprise and passed the ball helplessly to Redondo.

Redondo dribbled forward, and his forward insertion has always been one of Real Madrid's weapons to break the deadlock. Even if Tiger can interfere with him, he will not be able to cut off his ball - Redondo has confidence in this.

Breaking through the middle is not a good move. Tiger is just like defense, Farinos is better at organizing, while Gerard has a yellow card. Valencia's defense in the middle is actually a bit weaker than the defense on the flank!

However, Farinos came up immediately, and Mendeta rushed over from the back to defend. Just as Redondo was about to pass the crowd, Farinos suddenly tackled and knocked Redondo to the ground with the ball. After falling to the ground, the unlucky Redondo tripped by Mendeta, who could not hold back...

Now even Redondo became a little angry. After he stood up, he pushed Dom Dieta. Dom Dieta was a little apologized, but he pushed him and became angry. The two immediately confronted each other on the court...

The referee's whistle rang desperately before pulling apart the two captain-level figures on both sides. In order not to intensify the conflict, he did not show a yellow card, but warned the two - this was also a decision made by the two because they were not originally a player who liked to cause trouble...

This warning calmed the two of them. Redondo also hugged Mendieta for a moment, indicating that he would not hold grudges.

Affected by this conflict, Real Madrid's next attack did not have much threat. Anelka's shot from a small angle missed, and Canisales immediately passed the ball and kicked it out!

Farinos took the ball and turned around, and passed it directly to Kili before Raul came to press. Kili saw Lopez pulling the side and then stuffed the ball directly.

Lopez started running on the left side with the ball, while Tiger and Mendieta began to sprint!

After rushing to the front of the penalty area, Tiger stopped and turned around, then made a gesture to Lopez - passing the ball over at a high altitude!

Valencia rarely passes high-altitude balls in the frontcourt because they don’t have high points - Lopez’s header is also average. However, during the break, Tiger told Lopez that if you have the chance to pass high-altitude balls, you can try it!

Although I don't understand, my trust in Tiger made Lopez pass an accurate high-altitude ball without hesitation.

Tiger jumped up with his back to the goal - Tiger, who has always preferred ground attack, has ignored it himself - his heading attributes are now more than 200 points! According to the division in the main god space, generally the better central defenders in the top league have only so many heading skills!

Kalanka was suppressed by Tiger in surprise, and then almost watched Tiger grab the first point, then topped the ball towards the front of the penalty area!

Menditta rushed up, and at this moment he had only one thought in his mind, which was to hit the ball in!

Facing the ball that Tiger pushed down, Mendieta directly swung his right foot while running - ate my shot! This is the proof of the abandoned babies!
