Dick was satisfied with his performance in the dressing room.
Although those words were brief, they made the players who were already in a state of being extremely easily bewitched ignite their blood. Just like the president's speech in "**Day", although it was full of American arrogance and arrogance,
However, it does sound exciting! This is the effect you want!
It is necessary to strengthen the defense in the second half. If Valencia takes the lead, it will be difficult to deal with the next step. Valencia will definitely have to strengthen the offense, because Atletico Madrid's performance in the first half has proved that they have almost no counterattack.
As long as Valencia can take the lead, there will be nothing left for Atletico to rely on!
This is also the reason why Cooper decided to attack aggressively in the second half. He cannot be defeated by Atletico Madrid here. Otherwise, when the Champions League semi-finals begin, Valencia needs to be distracted by the top four positions in the league, which may affect the Champions League.
Although Valencia is strong in terms of results, it does not have the strength to advance on two fronts at the same time. In comparison, the Champions League championship is a little easier to win - just keep winning, no need to look at other people's eyes.
act.
Cooper is also an ambitious head coach. From Mallorca to Valencia, this is a leap. If he can achieve good enough results in Valencia, bigger giants are also beckoning to him.
Now, he is about to remove this insignificant stone in front of him and tell the young head coach - Want to avoid relegation? Yes, but boy, Valencia is not your team to score points!
After the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions. However, Valencia's offense became more fierce and fierce. They began to use various methods to surround Atletico Madrid's defense, while Atletico Madrid recovered again.
Let the opponent besiege your own gate and use all means to destroy the opponent's attack.
The power of fighting spirit is endless - although it is impossible for an amateur team to defeat a behemoth like Real Madrid with fighting spirit alone, Atletico Madrid's players are not bad in strength. They are also top professional players. Now they have
Fighting spirit, with the correct tactics and the will to defend as one, facing Valencia who also broke out with a top offensive level, Atletico Madrid still had no fear at all, constantly using various methods to block the opponent's attack, using their feet,
Use your chest, or even your face - in short, use anything else except your hands to block the opponent's shot!
Seeing the players on the field working so hard, the hundreds of Atletico Madrid fans had long forgotten their previous verbal criticism of Dick, and each one of them began to cheer for the team they supported. Although there were only a few hundred people, they
But the voice can often be revealed tenaciously from the suppression of more than 40,000 Valencia fans!
This shows how much effort the Atletico fans at the scene spent shouting!
And Dick's actions on the sidelines also make people feel infinitely passionate. Every time he completes a successful block, he will dance and celebrate, and all kinds of swear words pour out of his mouth: "That's it, shovel them!"
That's right! Well done! Stop him, no matter what method you use, good!"
So much so that the broadcast cameras frequently featured Dick, especially when Chamot blocked Angulo's shot with a desperate flying block. Dick, who was originally squatting on the ground, jumped out of the lawn like a toad.
He jumped up and waved his fist in the air: "Well done! In front of our solid defense line, all attacks will be smashed to pieces——"
So much so that the referee had to come over and warn him: "Sir, please don't be too loud on the sidelines, otherwise I will be able to warn you even though you have not crossed the coach's activity area."
"I understand, sir, I am too excited. You should understand that this is a symbol of a man venting his emotions...I will not do it next."
After a few nonsense words, Dick needed to thank Pedro for teaching him. He is now able to communicate with the coaching staff, players and referees fluently...
Then Dick turned back to his position and waved to Juninho.
"Paulista, you should go on the field next... Do you know what you should do on the field?" Dick whispered to Juninho.
"The area connecting Belleron and Hasselbaink...I will complete the assist, boss." Juninho said with a promise.
"Very good, you can't win the game just by relying on defense. I don't want to just get one point... Get ready to go on the field. Replace Leal. Your position is the attacking midfielder. Do you understand? We don't necessarily need two full midfielders.
."
Juninho laughed, and then rushed out - sure enough, he didn't let himself play the position of a full midfielder... A five-man midfielder with a right midfielder? It's interesting.
When Cooper saw Juninho warming up, he frowned - this guy still wants to fight back? However, Juninho is indeed a bit difficult to deal with on the court. After all, his skills and breakthroughs are quite outstanding. It needs to be
Strengthen your defense against him.
So when Juninho came back from warm-up and Dick said a few words to him and was about to let him play, while the ball was dead, Cooper also called Angonoma, who was closest to him.
"Go tell Carboni to focus on Juninho, and it doesn't matter if he makes bigger moves. The Brazilian has just recovered from injury. Do you understand? Be careful with his breakthrough. He may disrupt all defenses when he breaks through.
!”
The big black Angonoma nodded, quickly ran onto the court, then called the left back Italian Carboni and told him Cooper's arrangement.
After Juninho came on the field, he chatted with Belleron and Baraja for a while. Soon, Baraja moved a little to the right to protect the right wing, while Belleron stood with Serena.
In a parallel place.
"Baraja protected Belleron on the right and invested more in defense... Want to succeed in counterattack with just two people? Unless Juninho is Maradona." Cooper sneered in his heart.
"It doesn't look good when you smile. Why are you laughing there? You won't be able to laugh anymore!" Dick cursed in his heart.
After Juninho came on the field, Valencia's offense was slightly restrained - after all, the Brazilian's personal ability is also well-known. He scored more than ten league goals in Atletico Madrid in the first two seasons, most of which were
It's the kind of wonderful goal that passes through several people on his own. When such a person comes on the court, who knows if he will suddenly go crazy and catch the ball, then go all the way to the penalty area in a place that doesn't seem to be a threat and then push the ball.
Break the door?
Therefore, when Juninho is on the court, the opponent's defense must be more careful, which will naturally put less pressure on our defense...
After being cautious for more than ten minutes, seeing Juninho passing the ball quickly on the few occasions he received the ball, Valencia's defenders felt a little relieved. For Carboni, he
He was not worried about Juninho's passing, but worried about Juninho's breakthrough. At this time, he just focused on Juninho's possible receiving breakthrough - he waved at other teammates.
I wave my hand to signal you to attack boldly. I will be the one to deal with Juninho!
The strength of this Italian defender is still worthy of the trust of his teammates, so soon, the Valencia players began to continue to attack fiercely, trying to take the lead, and then they can incorporate the game into their most accustomed way of playing.
go.
"Hold it, hold it!" Dick shouted in his heart like a military commander. He knew that this moment was critical. If he accidentally allowed the opponent to score a goal, the game would basically be over.
…
Fortunately, he has told the players many times about this situation, and the players also know that this is not the time to relax, so there are no cheating words on the court, such as "We are about to win, it's okay to relax" and the like.
Instead of thinking, "There is still a long time before the game ends, we just draw!"
With a good attitude, even if there is not necessarily a good result, there will be a good result.
Under the continuous pressing and interception of Atletico Madrid players, Valencia's offense did not play a very good role. They were constantly intercepted and attacked by Atletico Madrid players in various ways. They also tried their best.
Method, but Atletico Madrid's defense is very strict about long-range shots and penetration from the front of the penalty area, and they lack the threat posed by a strong center in the penalty area, which makes it difficult for Valencia's offense to hit Atletico Madrid's penalty area -
—Of course, this is also due to the fact that Atletico Madrid's defense is now starting to take shape.
Under such a defense, Valencia's offense began to become a little impatient, and the players in the backcourt also began to press forward more - Dick secretly clenched his fists, if he could have a good opportunity now
If...
The 79th minute of the game.
After Valencia's offense began to become impatient, a serious mistake finally occurred.
In fact, Atletico Madrid's counterattack did not put too much pressure on Valencia. If Valencia was a team good at suppressing offense, then they might not have exposed their flaws, but they are not good at suppressing the ball.
The team has only made one mistake until this moment, which means they are in good shape now...
Farinos intends to go straight into the penalty area in the middle. His idea is right. If Lopez takes the ball in the penalty area and directly faces Atletico Madrid's two central defenders, with his speed and dribbling ability, it is very likely to create a
Good opportunity.
However, his intention was a little more obvious. Gamarra arrived first, rushed to defend before Lopez could catch the ball, and raised his foot to intercept Farinos' pass!
After stealing the ball, Gamarra didn't hesitate at all. He immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to Belleron who was responding at the front of the penalty area. Belleron took the ball and turned around, and then immediately went straight into the frontcourt!
The ball flew to the top of the center circle like a scalpel, and the person receiving the ball there was Juninho!
This pass was completed the moment Belleron turned around. While turning around, Belleron discovered Juninho's running position through his excellent sharp vision and ability to pass the threatening ball. When the ball came from
When Hérad and Mendieta passed between them, Juninho had already gotten rid of Carboni's defense through a lateral run, and then received Belleron in the center circle near Atletico Madrid's half.
Pass!
"Good opportunity!" Dick stood on the sidelines and his eyes lit up. Now Hasselbaink has begun to move forward. Pellegrino and Dukic are not very fast. If Juninho
If he could deliver a well-timed through ball... would he let me down?
