Real Madrid has always been on guard against Valencia's crazy running tactics, but they didn't expect that this time they would face Valencia's defensive counterattack!
They felt as if Valencia was practicing Tai Chi before, but now Valencia is a high-level assassin. The dagger he handed out shone with a cold light, which was heart-wrenching and life-threatening!
As soon as their eyes were blurred, the tip of the opponent's knife had already stabbed a hair in front of their necks...
Then Vicente put the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet.
Francisco Pavin was also dazzled, Ibrahimovic has broken through him!
Then he just sat down on the ground without even turning around to chase after him...
In fact, Ibrahimovic had no physical contact with him at all. This was a physical collapse caused by a psychological breakdown... He could no longer stand on the court!
After Ibrahimochi broke through, he took a shot. The ball was pounced by Cesar and bounced out.
Before the fans at the Mestalla Stadium could let out a cry of disappointment, they saw their captain, the blond-haired Mendieta, rushing to the goal and kicking the football as it bounced towards him!
Cesar, who fell to the ground, stretched out his hand desperately, trying in vain to catch the football, but...he didn't catch anything, only the air!
Moen stopped explaining from the beginning of Ibrahimovic, but took a deep breath. He was waiting for this moment!
He roared out all the air in his chest!
Such a game is so rare! So rare!
Although Valencia is at home, the advantage shouldn't be that big, but they are now four goals ahead of Real Madrid!
"This is the craziest opening game I have ever seen! Valencia scored two goals in four minutes! Leading Real Madrid by four goals!"
※ ※ ※
In the Valencia coaching bench, after seeing Mendieta score twice, everyone rushed out, cheering and celebrating.
Even winning often is no surprise.
He waved his fists and shouted into the stadium: "Now you can declare that you are men!!"
Four goals ahead of Real Madrid!
Even what he didn't dare to think about when he was coaching Getafe became a reality in the first game in Valencia.
The defending champion, the best team of the 20th century, the most successful football club in the world. Just like that, he was exposed!
※ ※ ※
Bosque looked back at this scene, dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that in just five minutes when Campo was allowed to warm up, these madmen from Valencia could score a goal?!
What happened to them?
Did we take drugs together?!
At this moment, the good old Bosque, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't hold it any longer.
Campo also finished his warm-up, ran back, and was standing in front of him, also turning his head to look at the court, a little dazed.
What happened today?
Real Madrid was beaten by Valencia at the Mestalla and was unable to fight back.
We have so many good offensive players...why can't we see them?
※ ※ ※
In fact, Campo's question is also a question of many Real Madrid fans.
Figo, Raul and Morientes all seemed lost in this game.
In fact, their performance in the first half was pretty good. After halftime adjustments, they also thought about counterattacking in the second half. But just at the beginning of the second half, Valencia gave them a blow... no, two blows!
They were completely stunned.
Now they are standing on the court. Looking at the Valencians running wildly to celebrate, each one looks like a wooden man.
※ ※ ※
Florentino sat on the rostrum. Next to him, Valencia president Oti stood up and celebrated loudly without giving him face.
He knew that Valencia was anti-Real Madrid because they did not want to deal with Real Madrid. And he also knew that the new president Otti was also a staunch anti-Real Madrid activist.
But he didn't expect that this game would give the opponent a huge opportunity!
His face can no longer be described with words like "ugly" or "extremely ugly".
If there wasn't a trace of reason that told him that as the chairman of Real Madrid, he had to be polite, he would really want to get up and leave now.
Ever since he took the position of president of Real Madrid, he has never been as embarrassed as he is now.
The competition is simply a torment for him!
※ ※ ※
Mendieta was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, and his head was still a little dizzy.
I actually scored twice in this game!
And Valencia leads Real Madrid by four goals?
Isn’t this a bit too magical?
But looking at the smiles on the faces of his teammates around him, a warmth arose in his heart. It was so real.
Let him understand that this is not a dream.
But real!
The fans sang in the sky above the Mestalla Stadium.
This scene is as if they have won the league championship.
He turned his head and looked down the field and saw the Chinese man hugging and celebrating with other coaches.
I have only been with the team for two months, but I have already brought such earth-shaking changes to the team...
Regardless of his final coaching performance, just such an emotional game is probably enough for him to leave a place in the history of Valencia Club, right?
Although the season has just begun, Mendieta is already hesitating whether his decision to leave was right.
This is only the first game. By the end of the season, where can Valencia go and what scenery can they see under the leadership of that person?
He was used to doubting it, but he couldn't help but start to look forward to it...
What a contradiction!
He shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
※ ※ ※
Unable to wait a second, looking at Pavin's devastated look, Del Bosque gave up his plan to catch Campo and said directly to him: "Go up and replace Pavin. Play as a central defender. You know what to do."
How did you do it!" Then he slapped him and pushed him out.
When the Valencia players celebrated the goal, Ivan Campo finally came on the scene and replaced Francisco Pavin, who had been complained about by commentator Moeen for more than 50 minutes.
The Valencia fans were born to have a grudge against Real Madrid. As if they didn't think Pavin was hit hard enough, when Pavin came off the field, they collectively booed in the stands.
Sure enough, Pavin's head hung lower.
Chang Sheng laughed when he heard the boos.
He feels that he and the Valencia fans really have a tacit understanding...
※ ※ ※
Del Bosque stepped forward, took the initiative to hug the frustrated Pavin, and then said in his ear: "Don't worry, Francisco. This is your first La Liga game. You have done a good job, you know you
Our opponent was last season’s Champions League runner-up!”
Now he can only try his best to improve Valencia to prove that Pavin's failure is not so complete.
As if he couldn't hear it, Pavin numbly accepted Del Bosque's hug, and then returned to the bench numbly. He sat down numbly, looking ahead numbly, his eyes dull.
Bosque looked back at Pavin's lost look and could only sigh.
He really didn't expect that a game would bring such a big blow to Pavin... If he had known this earlier, maybe he would rather offend Florentino than let Pavin play.
He feels extremely guilty now.
He also felt guilty for not discovering the winning strategy earlier. If he had known that Florentino would target Pavin from the time he provoked him before the game, he would have stepped forward to help Pavin reduce the pressure.
Wen faces tremendous pressure alone...
Unfortunately, it's too late now...
※ ※ ※
Pavin left the game, Campo came on, and Real Madrid's defense immediately returned to normal.
The change in effect is immediate.
As a central defender, Campo has gradually become marginalized, but now his defensive ability is still outstanding.
In the second half of the 9900 season, Hierro was injured, and Real Madrid's defense was very problematic, no matter how the combination was combined. In the end, Del Bosque had to use Helgra to hold back, while Campo and Karanka protected the defense.
The formation of five defenders was used to consolidate Real Madrid's defense, and the results were miraculous.
In fact, Campo was gradually marginalized precisely because of Pavin.
In history, Pavin was not beaten so quickly that his true colors were revealed.
After a process, Pavin established himself in the Real Madrid first team, and he showed his talent. Campo was completely pushed to the bench. It was during the winter break of this season that Real Madrid seriously considered
Sold Campo back to Mallorca.
Now, this game may be a turning point in Campo's fate, but there's no guarantee.
※ ※ ※
I saw a substitution on Real Madrid's side.
Chang Sheng also immediately made substitutions.
He replaced Ibrahimovic with Villa.
Since we have already led by four goals, this game means we have won. But Chang Sheng did not give up the idea of continuing to score because of this. He must beat Real Madrid thoroughly and let them think of this game in the future.
During the competition, even my rectum felt unbearable pain.
After Pavin left the field, Campo's defensive experience seemed to be ineffective, so allowing Ibrahimovic to continue attacking may not have much effect.
If it were Villa, his flexible movement might help the team score goals.
After Ibrahimovic came off the field, Chang Sheng gave him a hug, patted him on the back and praised him for his great job.
Fully demonstrated his love and attention to Ibrahimovic.
Chang Sheng's biggest problem in Valencia is that he doesn't have any direct descendants of his own, because he didn't bring anyone from Getafe.
In order to cultivate his power within the team, he naturally can only focus on the players who have recently joined the team. As for those old players, there is really no way to win. Valencia players and Getafe players
But it's different, everyone is considered a star.
It's not that easy to fool someone who is a star player.
You must first cultivate pro-self forces within the team as quickly as possible. You must rely on newly joined players.
Showing goodwill to Ibrahimovic is one thing, letting Villa play is another.
※ ※ ※
After Villa came on the field, Valencia's tactics remained unchanged and were still the "mad dog" style of play.
But the good times didn't last long.
Soon Baraja was injured in a scramble and fell to the ground. From the way he was clutching his leg in pain, it could be seen that Baraja was seriously injured this time...
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that his main back was injured.
He quickly called Guardiola back while he was warming up.
Guardiola is going to play, but his role is not to defend.
Even now, I have no intention of defending despite being victorious.
He will continue to attack and score goals.
So what he said to Guardiola was: "After you go up, control the football and rhythm and continue attacking!"
Guardiola then came on as a substitute, replacing the injured Baraja.
When Real Madrid saw that Baraja was injured, they thought they had a chance, because Baraja's injury would reduce the toughness of Valencia's midfield defense. In this case, they could at least score a face-saving goal.
ball.
But in fact it is not at all what they imagined!
After Guardiola came on the scene, Valencia's defense in the midfield became less rigid. But their ability to control the midfield became stronger!
What is the best defense?
attack!
What is the best defense?
Control the ball!
After Guardiola came on the field, he took over the command of the team's offense and defense. He was responsible for controlling the rhythm of Valencia's "mad dog" tactics.
This is no problem at all for him.
Because the "mad dog" tactic is actually derived from Barcelona's tikitaka tactic. Guardiola has been playing this kind of football since he was at La Masia. For him, how to play this kind of football has long been integrated into his blood.
.
So after he came on the field, Valencia's midfield control not only did not decline, but actually improved!
In addition, as Real Madrid's old rival, he is naturally very motivated when playing against Real Madrid. He does not need any mobilization for winning. Even if he is wearing Valencia's jersey, he feels that he is still a Barcelona player. He defeated Real Madrid. It's like
Barcelona beat Real Madrid the same way.
After Valencia firmly controlled the midfield, Real Madrid's offense was blocked again.
Valencia's offensive continues unabated.
With Pavin off the field, Valencia's offense became more patient. They kept turning back. If there was a chance, they would pass to the goal.
Without a chance, the ball was passed back immediately, and the football finally fell to Guardiola, allowing the Barcelona core wearing a Valencia jersey to reorganize the offense.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, with a posture of "I am anxious for you to death".
Slowly grinding out with Real Madrid.
How could Real Madrid allow them to grind slowly...
They are going to score a goal!
So this formation got closer and closer as we fought, and the more we fought, the more we scattered.
In the end, they were all fighting on their own.
The personal abilities of Real Madrid's stars are indeed outstanding, but this also makes them sometimes overconfident in their abilities...
They seem to think that they can become the heroes of the team. Once the ball reaches their feet, they rarely pass the ball.
What is the threat of such an attack?
Chang Sheng looked on with a smile on his face.
Real Madrid is simply doing itself a favor by playing like this...
※ ※ ※
Even when the Valencia fans were satisfied with the 4:0 score, Valencia showed their dagger again near the end of the game.
This time it was a pass from Guardiola, and the ball went directly over the heads of Real Madrid's defenders and then fell into the penalty area.
The erratic and flexible Villa appeared at the ball's landing point like a ghost. Then, when Campo raised his arm to indicate that he was offside, he fired a shot, and the ball flew into the goal guarded by Cesar without any suspense...
…
"5:0!! 5:0! 5:0! Five! Five goals! Incredible game! Incredible game! The opening game of the 2001-2002 season! It was so exciting and surprising! Who would have thought that defending the title
The champion Real Madrid was completely beaten by Valencia in the away game!" Moeen roared at the top of his lungs.
This time, even Valencia's own fans were stunned...
Just let Moen's hoarse voice float over the Mestalla Stadium.
And in the silence, the Chinese man in front of the coaching bench suddenly made a move.
I saw him raising his right hand high, spreading his fingers, and making a slap gesture!
