When Reyes dodged Capdevila with a light movement, the cheers of the Valencia fans were immediately remembered in the stands.
For more than 20 minutes before the first half, Valencia's attack on the right was almost paralyzed because Capdevila's performance here was too eye-catching.
Now I didn't expect Reyes to get rid of him so beautifully, so everyone naturally cheered louder to make Capdevila sick.
The cheers fell on Reyes' ears, and he thought it was the encouragement from the Valencia fans, so his confidence surged and his dribbling rhythm became much smoother.
After Capdevila was broken through, Deportivo's defense also responded quickly.
But they didn't press Reyes immediately.
Instead, he stuck to the center and left the wings free for Reyes to dribble.
Anyway, Reyes' performance in the previous cross was very average. He asked a left-footed player to pull to the right to cross. The Deportivo players couldn't understand what the head coach of Valencia was thinking.
Reyes was stunned for a moment when he saw the smooth road ahead.
Why don't those people come up to defend themselves? Aren't they afraid of themselves?
But the next second when he saw who was sticking to his defense in the penalty area, he reacted.
They are leaving the wing empty for themselves, allowing them to dribble the ball down. At the same time, Capdevila is chasing back. Once he catches up with them again, they will fall into the same situation as before.
And if they see Capdevila being breached and rush out in a swarm, they may actually give him a chance.
This is a clear sign of looking down on people!
Reyes is a bit shy and introverted, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, or that he doesn't have any youthful spirit.
He was also angry that the other party looked down on him so much. He wanted to prove his ability in front of these people and let the other party know how ridiculous the mistakes they had made were!
So he didn't continue to press the ball, but suddenly used his right foot to dunk the football to the inside, cutting inside!
Deportivo's players really didn't expect that Reyes would leave the empty wing and not break through, but cut inside and take the initiative to find the goal!
When Deportivo's center back Naibert saw Reyes coming to the goal, he naturally couldn't back down, so he went to meet him.
As an experienced central defender who has been the main player in Deportivo for a long time, he has a set of experience in dealing with such a ball.
That is to never make a move and force Reyes outside.
As long as he is no longer in the penalty area, his threat is much smaller.
The experienced Naibet rushed forward and defended closely, preventing Reyes from finding a better breakthrough opportunity.
Reyes had no choice but to walk out with Naibet's push.
What was originally intended to be a direct stab into the person's heart has now become a slash on the person's skin.
The extent of the damage is completely unparalleled.
※※※
Seeing that Reyes was forced out by the experienced Naibet, Deportivo fans breathed a sigh of relief. Capdevila, who returned to the defense, also breathed a sigh of relief - if the ball was lost, it would be
It's your own problem.
Last season's main left back, Romero, was still eyeing him on the bench at this time. Although he had temporarily stolen his main role, his foundation was not as strong as Romero's. If he was not careful, he might be squeezed out again.
In terms of fame and experience, Romero completely beats himself.
This season, he took advantage of Romero's injury to become the main player. This main position was still hot, so he naturally refused to give up just like this.
Now that Reyes has been squeezed out of the penalty area, this crisis is finally over...
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
※※※
When Ibrahimovic and Angulo saw Reyes being squeezed out of the penalty area, they began to run diagonally, hoping to cooperate with Reyes in a through-cutting movement.
But at this time, Reyes didn't even have them in his eyes.
Because in the process of being kicked out of the penalty area by Naibet, Reyes suddenly thought of the gesture he waved before Chang Sheng.
Maybe this is an opportunity to cut inside?
As soon as this thought appeared, I couldn't hold it back any longer.
The idea of giving it a try became stronger and stronger.
In the end, he ignored everyone and only saw the goal.
Then he lifted his left foot during the lateral dribbling.
Reyes used his left foot to touch the ball many times during lateral dribbling, pushing the ball away to avoid Naibert's steal.
So when he swung his left foot here, Naibert didn't take it too seriously.
At this time in world football, there were still very few tactics in which a player on the left would run to the right, or a player on the right would run to the left and then focus on cutting in and shooting.
Most of the time, the left-footed player is on the left and the right-footed player is on the right.
If you want to cut in and shoot, you should cut in from the wing you are good at and hit the goal from a small angle.
It is not common for players who are not good at football to move exclusively here and then cut inside to shoot.
So even the experienced Naibet did not expect what Reyes would do next...
※※※
Ibrahimovic and Angulo were both cutting and running. In order to hide themselves, they did not dare to raise their hands to signal for the ball.
But Deportivo's experienced defense still reacted, pressing forward to prevent offside.
Angulo was already offside, only to realize that the football had not been passed.
He cursed Reyes in his mind, saying that he would have known better that he would not have passed the football over in the first place! What a good intention, no reward! When you lower your head to dribble the ball, can you look up at the situation around you? You are dribbling sideways like this.
It’s useless!
While cursing, he turned back to look at Reyes, but was stunned.
Because he saw Reyes's raised left foot hit the football hard!
With a bang, grass clippings flew into the air, and the football drew an arc, dragging a white afterimage and flying towards the... far corner of the goal!
※※※
"Reyes—!!!"
Moen shouted in a long voice.
As he roared, the football bypassed goalkeeper Molina's fingers in the air and flew straight to the far post of the goal.
It didn't hit the goalpost, but scraped against it... and flew into the goal!
When the football rubbed against the net, Molina even heard the sound of friction between the high-speed rotating football and the net.
He didn't need to look back to know what the sound meant.
“Reyes—goooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
Moen took a breath and then roared in a longer voice.
And with his roar, the entire Mestalla turned into an erupting volcano!
※※※
Angulo, who was still secretly criticizing Reyes just now, was immersed in dribbling the ball without knowing that the ball was passed to him. When he saw this scene, he was stunned.
He maintained a weird posture, turning his head and looking at the football in the goal.
The ball...went in?
Valencia just takes the lead at home?
He felt that his brain was not enough.
But soon the cheers from the stands woke him up.
So he didn't care that he was secretly cursing Reyes before, turned around and rushed towards Reyes with open arms.
"Boy, you did a great job!"
He shouted wildly and rushed forward.
There are other Valencia players like him.
They also flocked to Reyes who scored the goal, so that before Reyes could react, he was surrounded by his teammates and pushed to the ground.
Everyone's mouth grew bigger and roared to their heart's content, venting their joy and excitement.
※※※
"Valencia takes the lead at home! In the 31st minute of the game, Valencia 1:0!"
Chang Sheng rushed out from his seat with his arms raised high, then ran back, threw himself into a trap, and was hugged head-on by other coaches.
Being able to take a 1:0 lead at home shows that they have a good start.
And everyone can see the scenes of the previous game, Valencia has the advantage. This goal is only a matter of time. They are full of confidence in winning this game.
There is another reason why Chang Sheng is so happy, and that is that Reyes' performance makes him happy.
This kid... finally scored!
※※※
"Reyes! Jose Antonio Reyes! This is the first official goal he scored for Valencia this season! He transferred to Valencia at the beginning of the season for four million U.S. dollars.
Rencia, he plays as a substitute more often. But his goal in this game may open a new door for him!"
One of the private rooms was filled with laughter and laughter.
That's the Reyes family.
"Well done, son!!" Reyes' father raised his arms and shouted.
And Reyes' mother began to recall how much Reyes' goal bonus was stipulated in the contract...
Reyes' agent is also very happy. After all, the better Reyes performs, the easier it is for him as an agent to make money.
Half a season after arriving in Valencia, Reyes is still blank in statistics, with no goals and no assists.
This kind of performance makes people worried, worried that he will not even be able to play as a substitute.
Well now, his goal is very beautiful.
With this goal, it can be said that Reyes' strength and talent are proved to some extent.
Now I hope Valencia can give him more opportunities.
It's not an option to always come on as a substitute...
Reyes was not transferred to Valencia just to play as a substitute. He still has to succeed here, otherwise he might as well stay in Sevilla.
※※※
When the football flew into the goal, Capdevila's relaxed expression disappeared.
He didn't expect that Reyes, whom he underestimated, could kick such a ball!
The ball bypassed goalkeeper Molina, with a large arc, and was actually pocketed within the goal frame...
Should I say that boy is lucky?
Or should I say that I have bad luck...
Capdevila seems to have seen Irueta's black face and Romero's sneer on the bench...
Why are you so unlucky?
No matter how outstanding your performance was before, no one would remember it. It only takes one mistake to be remembered forever!
That Reyes, why did he suddenly have an incision?
Didn't he see that he had been squeezed out of the most dangerous position?
Seven years later, when Capdevila was playing the main role in the Spanish national team, he was already accustomed to his teammates in the Spanish national team frequently cutting inside and shooting far away.
There are also many world waves born.
But in his mind, what impressed him most about this offensive method was Reyes' kick.
Because he discovered that if he puts a left-footed player on the right wing, even if he can't pass the ball, he still has such powerful power...
※※※
No matter how upset Capdevila was there, no matter how ecstatic Reyes was.
It is a fact that Valencia leads Deportivo La Coruna 1:0 at home.
Irueta should seriously consider whether his team can still escape from Mestalla. (To be continued.
