Solari stood in front of the ball and looked at the situation in the penalty area.
There were three Atletico Madrid players entering the penalty area. Hasselbaink and Baraja attracted a lot of attention, but there were not many people defending Chamot. The Argentine defender had not scored a goal for a long time. Obviously
Yes, the Dutch shooter and Baraja, who scored in the last round, are more threatening.
Although Valencia's defenders have returned to defense, there are still many attackers left in the frontcourt. Lopez and Angulo are both in the front, while Kili and Mendieta are active in the penalty area, ready to attack at any time.
Participate in the counterattack.
In this case, Atletico Madrid's defenders naturally did not dare to press forward. Capdevila, Aguilera, Serena Gamarra and others were defending in their own half, trying to make plans, that is, to attack.
The idea of these players who intervened in the offense...
Baraja rushed to the front point, while Pellegrino and Angonoma were keeping an eye on him, Hasselbaink was dealt with by Carboni and Herard, and Dukic was observing Chamo
Special, Farinos defended Beleron at the front of the penalty area.
"That's it."
Solari thought in his mind that this offensive and defensive state seemed to have been practiced before, and the next point...
After the referee blew the whistle to take the penalty, Baraja suddenly turned around and ran towards the center, while Hasselbaink in the center began to move hard towards the front point. Belle outside the penalty area
Long took two steps back, and their running caused Valencia's defenders to start running with them. For a moment, their attention was focused on the front and middle points, while the defense of the back points was somewhat ignored.
Dukic looked up and observed the ball kicked out by Solari. Not only did he have to mark people, he was also the team's sweeper. Naturally, he had to pay more attention to the ball at this time.
When the ball passed by Solari bypassed the front point and the middle and flew to the back point, Dukic was shocked. When he was about to take off, he found Chamot who was standing very close to him.
I don't know when I had already taken two steps back, but now I accelerated forward, and then jumped high with the help of the sprint!
The two have similar jumping and heading abilities. One jumps on the spot and the other jumps after sprinting. Who can jump higher?
Of course Chamot!
The Argentinian central defender jumped up high with the help of his sprint, then faced the falling ball and overwhelmed Dukic who had taken off hastily, and swung his head towards the goal!
The ball hit Chamot's elongated head, then quickly changed direction and accelerated into the near corner of the goal! Although Canizares made a desperate save, the goalkeeper could not handle such a close header.
What we do is just doing our best and relying on destiny...
Obviously, destiny is not on Valencia's side today.
When the ball flew into the gate of Valencia, the entire stadium became extremely quiet. More than 40,000 Valencia fans were silent, and hundreds of Atletico Madrid fans who came from afar were also silent...
These fans are the most loyal fans of Atletico Madrid - even if the victory in the last round gave them hope, but they are still willing to come to watch the away game at this time, they are really loyal, and they are also attracted by Dick
The fans who were most moved by his heroic words were the fans who were hurt the most after the game started...
If it wasn't inappropriate to leave now, maybe these fans would leave the Mestalla five minutes after the game started without looking back. But even if they didn't leave, they were still cursing Dick for cheating on their feelings.
Until just now...
A goal? Is this a goal? With the first shot of the game, we took the lead!
It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.
"The ball... the ball went in! Atletico Madrid scored with the first shot of the game! This is really... If it is Valencia who scored the first shot of the game, then we don't have any idea.
You will be surprised, but...this is Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid played so poorly before! But they launched a defensive counterattack in front of Valencia, and their defense was so tight, and their counterattack was so sharp!"
"It's so crazy. What magic does Dick have? The crazy attack in the last game, the persistent defensive counterattack in this game... Such two completely different tactics are so thoroughly reflected in one team. If we say
Atletico Madrid is a team that has performed well before and there are reasons, but... they have been winless in ten rounds before, and they are second to last! What witchcraft did this 21-year-old Chinese use? "
If they were facing other teams and defeated the opponent through a counterattack after being suppressed for so long, it might not have caused such a big surprise. However, Atletico Madrid’s opponent was Valencia! They used defense
The scene of the counterattack sweeping Lazio is still vivid in my mind, but Atletico Madrid used an even worse defensive counterattack to score!
Defeating the opponent in their best place and using their best tactics - this is too perverted!
"Well, I think I need to re-evaluate Dick. Being able to achieve such results in Atletico Madrid's second team is not a fluke. Judging from this many games, he is definitely capable of controlling Atletico Madrid... I just
I can say, Mr. Hill, you made a good decision, but it was a little late. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid would not only not have to worry about relegation, but they might be in the European competition area now! But it's not too late,
This young head coach will definitely bring good changes to Atletico Madrid!"
Thiago Bones, the commentator of Madrid City TV, shouted loudly into the microphone. He is a famous commentator for Atletico Madrid fans, so it is basically his job to commentate on Atletico Madrid games, and his kind
The obvious tendency is also very popular with Atletico Madrid fans. Now that he is shouting like this, many Atletico Madrid fans watching TV have begun to think that even Bones has said this. It seems that this Chinese is really a top player.
The head coach!
If Dick finds out, he will definitely invite Bones to have a meal... Bones's voice has won him a lot of support!
However, Dick didn't care about this at this time. He jumped up from the coaching bench, then waved his arms like a madman, then turned to face the Valencia coaching bench, and made several exaggerated celebrations in succession.
When Po saw him looking like he was in need of a beating, the veins on his forehead bulged out. He forced himself to control his anger and sat back down in his seat...
The other assistant coaches in Valencia did not have Cooper's self-cultivation. Some people immediately wanted to come out and yell at Dick. As a result, Dick made two gestures and then turned around and hugged Marriner to celebrate.
No chance was given to them...
The Atletico Madrid players on the field ended their celebration. If they were defending with gritted teeth before, now their confidence has greatly increased - don't look at the fact that we conceded a lot of goals before, it was because of tactical reasons! See
No, as soon as the new leader took office, our defense became outstanding! Because we are indeed outstanding! We should be able to successfully avoid relegation!
Leading Valencia and leading Málaga are two completely different concepts. What kind of team is Málaga? It’s just a newly promoted team this season! Although their ranking is much higher than Atletico Madrid, no matter from which aspect you look at it
, probably no one thinks that Malaga is more outstanding than Atletico Madrid, but Valencia is different. This team has always been one of the top teams in La Liga, with a record of four league championships.
Although it is far inferior to Atletico Madrid's record of nine league championships, it is still one of the top teams in La Liga. This season, it performed extremely well in the Champions League and is known as the team in La Liga that is most like Serie A - and now,
They used defensive counterattacks to break down Valencia's goal!
This situation allowed Atletico Madrid's players to begin to fully recover their confidence, and in the following games they used constant and tenacious defense to block Valencia's offense - now Valencia's players know what they are facing.
How troubled they are for teams defending on the counterattack...
It's just that Atletico Madrid's counterattack was not as sharp as Valencia's after all, which also made Valencia less worried in the attack. Finally, before the end of the first half, Valencia's midfielder Mendieta made a beautiful pass.
After a long pass, Lopez received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and immediately started to shoot. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the dead corner of the goal - Molina, who had made many wonderful saves before, also failed to save.
The ball hits the net!
The Valencia fans who finally saw the team equalize the score began to cheer loudly. However, the Atletico Madrid players were not affected too much. They had seen that Valencia did not have much to do with their defense.
way!
When the first half ended, Atletico Madrid's players ran off the field with their heads held high. They knew that their performance in the first half was something to be proud of!
"We did a great job in the first half! We used our excellent defense to prove to Valencia, which has the best defense in La Liga, that as long as we want to, we can defend as well as them! Likewise, as long as we
If we want to, we can successfully avoid relegation and give those who think that our relegation is a foregone conclusion a slap in the face! Yes, this is what we have to do! We have the ability to do these things! Now, tell me,
Do you have this ability?"
After entering the locker room, Dick waved his arms like a madman - now is the time to use his mouth. Atletico Madrid's players have been extremely stimulated in the first half of the game, so there is no need to use your mouth at this time.
Cannon, when will we wait?
Sure enough, amid Dick's roar, the Atletico players who were still immersed in the excitement of the first half waved their fists and shouted: "We have this ability! We definitely have this ability!"
The roar filled the entire locker room. No matter how veterans the Atletico Madrid players are, they are just a group of young people between the ages of 20 and 30. Now the energy, confidence, and arrogance of a young man are already there.
Under Dick's mobilization, everything came out!
Kiko raised his head from the corner of the locker room and looked at his teammates with some surprise - how long has it been since Atletico Madrid's locker room had such a lively atmosphere? It seems that it has been since winning the league and the King's Cup more than three years ago.
We haven't seen this kind of hot-tempered situation since the double championship, right? Antichi's character is relatively stable, Sacchi has an iron fist but no incitement. He will only tell you what to do, and Ranieri's temper is more
It's a little soft... Now, Dick mobilized the last passion in their hearts!
"This head coach is indeed capable...but why doesn't he use me? I still have passion!" Kiko thought helplessly in his heart.
Dick couldn't care about him at this time. Seeing the high morale of the players, he knew that this was a rare opportunity and struck while the iron was hot: "After the second half begins, continue to follow the tactics of the first half, but on defense.
I will be stronger and I will seize the opportunity for us to win this game... Do you believe me?"
"Believe in you, boss!" Baraja shouted first.
"Very good, let's get ready! In the second half, let Valencia know what Atletico Madrid-style defensive counterattack is!" Dick waved his arms fiercely and laughed.
