Cordoba's final ranking last season was twelfth in the league, which was considered mid-table. They had no worries about relegation and no hope of promotion. Judging from this ranking, one would think that Cordoba must have been hanging around in the second division for a long time, and it is with Hertha.
Fei, a newly promoted team who came up from Group B, is different.
But in fact, like Getafe, they were promoted last season.
Both are promoted horses.
Córdoba's fate was much better than that of Getafe. They had just been promoted and ended up in a good position of twelfth. However, Getafe had to fight for relegation all season and was just a hair away in the end.
Downgrade.
So even though they were once promoted, Cordo, from players to fans, had reasons to look down on Getafe.
How about the away game? Didn't we beat them on the road last season?
Cordo launched a fierce attack on Getafe.
At first they were just testing, but then their offensive became more and more fierce.
Everyone in Cordoba thought they could score a goal soon.
But things backfired.
Ten minutes passed and Getafe's goal was impregnable.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the score on the big screen didn't move at all.
Twenty minutes passed, and the score still did not change, but Cordoba had to slow down the pace because they were tired...
Attacking for twenty minutes consumes a lot of physical energy. Even professional athletes cannot guarantee that they can maintain a high rhythm for dozens of minutes.
Many Cordoba players have clearly shown signs of physical decline.
They gasped and looked at Getafe's goal in astonishment.
I still can't figure out why they still can't score Getafe's goal.
In that game last season, it was because they chose to actively avoid it, but what about today?
Or actively avoid it?
※※※
"Getafe's defense is impregnable and completely safe. This is a typical winning style. In Spanish football, which advocates offense, he has raised the banner of strict defense. Although he has been criticized by many people. I think
It’s not good-looking and negative, but the effect is really good. With this tactic, they successfully avoided relegation in ten rounds of the league. Now facing the pounce of Cordoba, which ranked twelfth last season, their defense has no
Lost the ball..."
The commentator Crespo was talking non-stop when he saw a message from the Getafe coach's bench appearing on the monitor screen in front of him.
Obviously the game director also knows that Chang Sheng is the most critical figure in this team.
After selling Pineda, Getafe no longer has any outstanding stars.
Whether it's Popovich, Kaiku, Jimenez or Canizares, these people are not very famous.
Any fool can see that this Getafe team emphasizes the whole.
"The young Chinese coach is always winning. He is only 28 years old this year. He is too young. Many people at this age are still playing football. Even if he is a coach, he still has no experience in a echelon team, but
By chance, he became the head coach of Getafe's first team. When he took office, the whole world was not optimistic about him. But in the end, he handed over a job that left all doubters speechless.
Perfect answer! In just nine rounds of the league, he led the team to successfully avoid relegation!"
"Now in the new season, judging from these 20 minutes of the game, his work is very effective, and the team's defense is even better than last season..."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Chang Sheng yawning in the camera!
Even the experienced Crespo's brain suddenly short-circuited.
He didn't know what to say about this scene.
Chang Sheng didn't sleep well yesterday?
So all the spectators watching the game in front of the TV saw such a strange scene - Chang Sheng in the picture yawned like a boss, and it was as if the TV had been muted. Crespo's commentary also
Stopped abruptly.
※※※
"Haha——" Chang Sheng raised his head and yawned loudly, and he didn't hide it.
Next to him, assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez, who was concentrating on the court, couldn't help turning his head to look at him: "You were so nervous, so you didn't sleep all night last night?"
"You're the one who's nervous." Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, "This twenty-minute game was just too boring, and Cordoba's offense wasn't that sharp..."
Cordoba scored 46 goals last season, ranking in the middle of the entire second division. Not top, but definitely a lot.
At least it's more than Getafe's.
Although there are only six more balls... that's still a lot.
"It's always good to be well prepared before a game." Manuel Garcia also joined the conversation.
"Of course, of course." Chang Sheng nodded. "I'm just a little disappointed."
"I feel very happy." Manuel Garcia said with a smile, "This shows that our work over the summer is worthy of recognition, and all the efforts have paid off. I dare not say that our defense is second-tier.
The best among them, but at least it can be among the best. Chang, I think I now realize the importance of defense you mentioned. Although 95% of the teams in Spain are talking about offense, defense is indeed more important.
Important. During the Getafe game last season, I would never dare to have such a relaxed chat with the coach."
Chang Sheng hummed twice, and then he felt that he could not continue to sit on the coaching bench, otherwise he would really fall asleep. Then he might become the first person in world football to fall asleep while directing his team in a game.
Head coach.
So he stood up from the coaching bench, walked to the sidelines, squatted down, pulled a piece of grass from the ground, and put it in his mouth.
Just defending is not enough. In the end, it still comes down to offense.
Without Luis Garcia in this game, the team's offense went smoothly.
If he keeps playing like this, he feels that it will only be a matter of time before he scores a goal.
He could already tell that Cordoba's players were a little discouraged.
Based on the experience of ten league games last season, he knows that this is a good time for our team to score goals.
Now it depends on whether the people in the frontcourt can seize the opportunity.
In this game, Popovich replaced Luis Garcia as the left winger.
Chang Sheng relies on his speed.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Carlos Campo make a tackle in the backcourt. He scooped the ball away from the opponent's ball carrier. Although he was not able to control the ball himself.
However, the football still rolled to the other side and was picked up by another defensive midfielder, Senna.
After getting the ball, Senna kept the coach's tactical requirements in mind.
When switching from defense to offense, the defensive midfielder must be decisive and quick when receiving the ball. As long as the opportunity is right, he will not hesitate to pass the football forward. The target? Naturally, it is Charles Steas!
Senna immediately made a long pass, and the football flew from the air to high center forward Charles Tias in front.
※※※
The team has always been defensive before, in addition to defense, it is defense.
As the only center in the Getafe team who is not required to return to defense, Charisteas is a little depressed because he can only watch his teammates frequently appear in the TV broadcasts from the front, envious and anxious - when will he be able to defend?
It's your turn to appear on TV!
At this moment, he saw Carlos Campo shovel the football down. Then Senna next to him ran over and controlled the football.
A summer of hard training showed its value at this moment.
As soon as Charles Steas saw Senna taking the ball, he immediately reacted - the team was going to counterattack!
A chance for me to show up!
Charesteas roared excitedly in his heart, but he still didn't forget what he should do.
He quickly ran to where the football landed.
Of course, the opponent's central defender also saw this placement.
At this time, the competition is purely about physical fitness.
But at this point... Charlie Steas is very confident!
I must let the entire Spanish football world know my name, Charles Teas!
He raised his head to watch the ball, then jumped high on the spot!
※※※
Cordoba's captain is 33-year-old Juan Carlos Mandia, who is also the team's main center back. On many occasions, his rich experience has benefited the team a lot.
But this time, he found that his rich experience could not help.
Because this is simply a battle that has nothing to do with experience!
As soon as he jumped up, he was pushed aside by Getafe's No. 9 big man and lost his position!
With his center of gravity completely lost, he looked up and found that the opponent had flicked his head and threw the football to the right of the defensive zone, to the opponent's left!
The two landed almost at the same time. After landing, Juan Carlos Mandia was still staggering and embarrassed, but Charisteas had already turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.
This is Getafe's counterattack!
And it looks like they are going to succeed!
The old captain turned his head and looked towards the wing, hoping that Getafe's wing players would not be able to get the ball under the pressure of his teammates.
To his slight joy, full-back Javier Ruiz was pressing towards Getafe winger Popovic.
But the next second, his eyes suddenly widened!
Because he found that Popovich had no intention of controlling the ball, he directly sent the ball diagonally forward!
At this time, Cordoba's wing is empty!
The full-backs have moved to the ribs to defend Popovich. The wings are naturally empty!
※※※
The football didn't roll very fast on the turf, but it still went straight to the bottom line.
If no one can catch up with the football, then the ball will roll directly out of the baseline. Maybe this is a failed attack by Getafe?
No!
The narrator Crespo exclaimed: "Italians!"
A figure running at high speed appeared in the camera. That was Getafe's Italian left-back Balzaretti!
Everyone's attention was attracted to him. The Italian was seen sprinting along the wing, and finally caught up with the football before it was about to leave the baseline. Then he did not stop the ball and adjust, but directly came in while running at high speed.
A very difficult cross!
The football drew an arc in the air and went straight to the back of the goal!
Previously, the attention of the Cordoba players in front of the goal was attracted by Balzaretti's running. When their eyes moved back along with the football, they were surprised to find a figure in front of them.
The tall figure is leaping up!
"Angelos Charisteas—"
Crespo roared in a long voice.
※※※
Chang Sheng stood up from the ground. He still had a grass stem in his mouth, but he didn't care to chew it.
He just looked at Charisteas rising into the sky.
At that moment, he seemed to see this figure in Portugal four years later, leaping high, the lion shaking its head, and then... a myth was born!
At this moment, the same myth is about to be born!
This is Getafe's first game of the new season, and the promotion legend of a top-notch football team will begin from this moment!
※※※
Charesteas had no opponent at all, because when he jumped in the air, none of Cordoba's players jumped up. They could only stand on the ground, looking up at the Greeks in the air.
.
It was beyond their expectation that such a big man could have such excellent jumping ability...
Charles Steas faced the flying football and shook his head like a lion!
There was a muffled sound and the football hit his forehead.
Then the football flew directly towards the goal.
Cordoba goalkeeper José Ramon had no reaction when facing Charesteas' goal and watched the football fly into the goal he was guarding...
“goooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
Amid Crespo's roar, Alfonso Perez Stadium boiled! (To be continued...)
