"Vicente breaks through from the wing...oh, he's so fast! Angonoma is stuck in position. Vicente shouldn't be able to fight against the Frenchman, but he has dexterous speed! Shake out
There is a gap, cross!"
"Jader knocked Pellegrino away in the air and hit the goal! Canizares made a beautiful save, and Ayala immediately made a big kick!"
"Baraja... gained the upper hand in the battle with Zahovic, and Belleron received the ball! He started to dribble forward. Deschamps and Albelda surrounded him at the same time. Belleron passed the ball!
The ball passed between the two opponents and landed at the feet of Camoranesi! Aguilera outflanked him on the wing, but Camoranesi did not pass the ball, but shot directly from a long distance! Unfortunately, it missed!
"
Camoranesi waved his hand vigorously, and then ran back quickly.
Dick looked at his watch. Fifteen minutes had passed in the first half. At this time, Atletico Madrid's offensive was weakening, but Valencia's defense also began to show a tendency to be distracted. This is a normal thing. No player can
If you maintain enough concentration for ninety minutes, if the opponent's attack is still as fierce, you may be able to maintain it forever, but if the opponent's attack weakens, you will inevitably breathe a sigh of relief.
And the first opportunity Dick arranged to score a goal is now.
The place he targeted was not in the opponent's penalty area. Although the opponent's sweeper was changed, with Ayala's ability, his time to integrate into the team will be very short. This is not enough to become a place that can be exploited.
The place is at the front of the penalty area, protected by the midfielder.
Last season Valencia's defensive midfielders were Farinos and Herard. The two of them stayed behind to organize a forward and backward sprint. They were comparable to the defensive midfield combination of Baraja and Belleron in Atletico Madrid's last few games.
Similarly, last season was also the season when these two people were the most shining, and then they started to go downhill one after another. However, it is undeniable that in that season, the midfield combination composed of these two people should have been more shining than most.
Most of the top midfield combinations, but now, these two are no longer there. Cooper has turned the two-person combination in the midfield into a three-person combination. However, among these three, Deschamps and Zahovich are both new arrivals.
Player, Albelda was last year's substitute. Even if there is one more person in this combination, the level of performance and coordination are far from comparable to last year's two-person combination.
What Dick wants to play is to find opportunities in the opponent's center where the opponent seems to have sufficient numbers, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of tacit cooperation and lack of strength. Although Deschamps is the captain of the French national team, he is now thirty-two years old.
At the same time, his condition also declined very quickly. His performance at Chelsea last season was only average. Zahovich focused more on offense rather than defense. Although Albelda will be the mainstay of Valencia in the future, but now
They are still young and inexperienced, so both of them have areas that can be utilized.
Belleron retreated and received a pass from Capdevila near the center circle. He looked up and observed, seeming to be looking for gaps in Valencia's defense. Other Atletico Madrid players were not running as aggressively as before.
, Valencia's midfielders began to rush up one after another to better stop Atletico Madrid's offensive. Invisibly, there were some signs of disconnection between the midfield and the backcourt.
Belleron discovered this keenly. Beside him, Baraja had begun to move forward, attracting Deschamps' attention. At the same time, on the wing, Camoranesi was quietly moving towards the center.
Especially when Aguilera moved forward and attracted Carboni's attention...
Belleron passed the ball at this time!
With a very insightful through ball, the ball flew past Alberda accurately. The young Spanish midfielder fell to the ground to tackle, but still missed the ball just a little bit. The ball flew directly into the Valencia center.
In the gap between the field and the defender, the cross-cutting Camoranesi suddenly accelerated, then stretched out his foot to stop the ball!
"Okay!" Dick couldn't help but waved his hand. Belleron's through ball was very risky - Alberda almost intercepted the ball in the middle. However, how can you get a high profit without risking it? Belleron
This is the characteristic of him. He can send that kind of penetrating pass, but there is a huge risk of the opponent intercepting the ball midway!
However, after success, the rewards are doubled!
Camoranesi received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and then he quickly turned around - this series of actions seemed to be done in one go because no one interfered. Deschamps turned around and wanted to return to defense, but he was far away from Camoranesi.
The distance is a bit far, and there is currently no way to stop Camoranesi from making the next series of actions...
Camoranesi adjusted the frequency of his feet while turning around, and then began to dribble the ball forward. Now he only has two central defenders from Valencia in front of him, and there is Jardel in the penalty area to help him...
Ayala came up to him, Jardel started running in the penalty area and suppressed Pellegrino with his body. At this time, Camoranesi chose to pass the ball, and the ball flew directly diagonally towards
Within the restricted area!
Jardel stopped the ball with the outside instep of his right foot, continued to use his body to hold Pellegrino behind him so that he could not interfere with him, then quickly raised his right foot and fired quickly near the penalty spot!
The ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Canizares's save was still a step late. The ball flew past his hands and then flew directly into the blind spot of the goal!
When Belleron passed directly to Camoranesi at the front of the penalty area, the shouts in the stands suddenly increased by a few decibels. When Jardel received the ball in the penalty area, the sound increased to another level, and finally the ball was
When it flew into the goal, the cheers of the entire stadium reached its peak, and the cheers of countless Atletico Madrid fans poured down from the stands. At this moment, the Calderon Stadium became a holy place for the home team and a grave for the visiting team!
Jadel followed the direction of the ball with his eyes until the ball finally flew into the goal. He immediately straightened his waist, opened his arms and rushed out!
After rushing to the stands, Jardel's right hand raised high in the air swung downwards. As he waved his arm, a huge roar erupted from the stands, collectively chanting Jardel's death.
The name made Jardel feel the pleasure of being admired by thousands of people at that moment...
Dick waved his fist, then raised his right hand high and high-fived Marriner: "Well done!"
Cooper shook his head - he still underestimated Atletico Madrid. The attack just now was relaxed and well-organized. It was definitely not the cooperation between them that had reached this level. It must have been a tactic that Dick had rehearsed in advance.
, and then used the personal abilities of Belleron and others to play such a beautiful offense. Dick adopted a clever way, that is, to try to use the players' personal abilities to get through this running-in period. This style of play is also needed.
It must be luck. Atletico Madrid had bad luck in the last game, but this time... their luck seems to be back!
"This tactic can only be used once."
Cooper stood up with a sneer, and then made a gesture to strengthen the attack on the court - the opponent just scored a goal, and they must slow down at this time, immediately launch a counterattack, and then strive to get the score back. The next step is
A moment of turmoil between the two sides!
After receiving Cooper's instructions, Valencia immediately launched a counterattack. Although it failed to win the Champions League last season, being able to enter the final also allowed Valencia to accumulate a lot of momentum as a strong team. In this way
A good team will not be knocked down by being temporarily behind.
Mendieta has been in excellent form since the beginning of this season. He scored the only goal against Real Madrid in the first round, and he scored twice in the second round to help Valencia completely defeat
Mallorca, he was also in excellent form in this game.
Mendieta is a very strange existence. In the past two years, his performance was ranked first in the world, but he quickly declined after a year. Compared with most Spanish players, his foot skills are not good, but he
His professionalism and tactical execution ability are top-notch. In Cooper's lineup, he can perform at the highest level. However, in other environments, his performance is poor.
Dick knew that Mendieta would fall quickly next, but the current Mendieta was quite unsolvable.
He began to constantly get some opportunities through running. Mendieta rarely dribbled past people, but his passing and running were quite difficult to defend. Even if Vicente returned to defend on this side,
The defense will not be of much help, and Capdevila will find it difficult to guard Mendieta's movement. After Valencia's offensive, Mendieta's threat becomes even greater.
In the 37th minute, it was Mendieta who made a forward move. After receiving the pass from Alberda, he took the ball all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Juan Sanchez in the penalty area.
, Sanchez immediately started to shoot. The ball drew an arc in the air, flew past Molina's hand, and hit the dead center of the goal!
"Valencia equalized the score! Their current offense is indeed better than last season. You must know that facing Atletico Madrid's defense last season, it was difficult for them to find shooting opportunities... Although Atletico Madrid is advancing
There was not much recovery after the ball, but Valencia was able to quickly equalize the score, which also proves how good they are now..."
Dick pinched his nose and remained silent.
He did not expect to win this game like last season. You must know that last season he relied on the help of goal cards to achieve such a miraculous victory, and in this game he won
I hope Atletico Madrid can better stabilize its strong team style. The result is not particularly important. If in the back-and-forth attack, it does not fall behind against a first-class strong team like Valencia, Atletico Madrid's confidence will be
Really built up.
Whether it is sending a large number of substitutes in the first round of the league and the UEFA Cup, or using offense to confront Valencia, these methods can only be achieved by strong teams with sufficient confidence. Dick uses this method to achieve his goals.
In the shortest time, Atletico Madrid has established a strong team style, that is, it can lose, but it cannot lose face - it is completely different from last season, regardless of whether you want face or not, getting points is the most important situation.
.
After equalizing the score through a series of attacks, the two sides began to fall into a stalemate on the court. The midfielders on both sides were very good. Atletico Madrid's midfielder was more technical, while Valencia's midfielder was not.
Lacking top players with outstanding personal abilities, the two sides struggled until the end of the first half, and neither side was able to get too many good opportunities.
"The first half of the game is over, and the score is one to one... Although the score is the same as last season, from the process of the game, Atletico Madrid is indeed much more confident now than last season.
The scene is much better, let’s look forward to the start of the second half!”
