I don’t know when, but all the players on Valencia’s bench came out.
Vicente, Aimar and others were standing on the sidelines, watching the game on the court nervously, looking very anxious.
When Benitez looked at them, they also looked at the coach, with a hint of pleading in their eyes.
It can be seen that they are all eager to play!
Benitez was suddenly moved by this situation and admired Su Dong's popularity within the team.
Although Su Dong doesn't seem to do much on weekdays, in fact, his popularity in the locker room is very good, which also has something to do with the way he gets along with his teammates.
No one would hate a teammate who is harmless to humans and animals, treats the whole team to a big meal from time to time, and can step up and become the savior at critical moments!
Benitez turned his head and looked at the time. Counting the stoppage time, there should be fifteen minutes left.
Thinking of this, the Valencia coach sighed in his heart: What happened to me today?
"Paco, change!"
…………
…………
Su Dong was on the court and saw the head coach making substitutions.
Both Vicente and Aimar were going to play, which surprised him.
It doesn’t make sense!
Neither player planned to play, so how could Benitez change his mind?
Su Dong was confused. He couldn't guess what Benitez was thinking.
"Su, I'm going down first. If you want to work harder, you can definitely do it!"
Before David Silva left the field, he specially ran to Su Dong to cheer him on.
"Thank you!" Su Dong hugged David Silva.
Soon, Vicente and Aimar both came up.
"Hey, brother, we're here!" Vicente smiled and high-fived Su Dong.
"A goal, a big meal, let's keep accounts first!" Aimar also laughed.
Of course Su Dong has no problem.
Frankly speaking, with these two partners present, he would be more confident.
Valencia's Iron Triangle, this is the team's best performing and most powerful offensive combination this season.
Even if Aimar hadn't been injured frequently after the winter break, Valencia would have won the championship long ago, and Su Dong's number of goals would probably have exceeded the current 34 goals.
"Your mission is very simple, just wait within the shooting range!" Vicente gave a thumbs up to Su Dong and slowly backed away.
Su Dong also gave a thumbs up to Vicente and Aimar from a distance, indicating that he had received it.

…………
Sixty-six-year-old coach Paquito immediately made substitution adjustments after seeing Benitez's substitutions.
Brazilian midfielder Marcos Senna was substituted.
Senna joined Villarreal in the summer of 2002. Although he only spent 600,000 euros, he was a midfielder signing that the club attached great importance to. Originally, the first choice target for the Yellow Submarine at that time was Gil.
Roberto Silva, the two sides even almost signed a contract, but after shining in the World Cup, Gilberto Silva went to Arsenal.
After joining Villarreal, Senna has been the team's main defensive midfielder, and his performance has been remarkable. However, in January 2003, in the game against Real Betis, he only played 44 minutes.
Ended injured.
Knee cruciate ligament rupture!
This serious injury forced him to rest for sixteen months!
The head coach also changed from Floro to Paquito, who put out the fire midway.
After returning from injury, Senna was reused by Paquito, especially in the first three games after returning to the game. Villarreal welcomed Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Deportivo, and Senna performed very well in all of them.
.
Facing Valencia in this game, Villarreal aimed to attack, and Senna sat on the bench.
But now, Paquito feels, Villarreal needs Senna!
…
"See that Number Nine?"
On the sidelines, Paquito asked, pointing at Su Dong.
"I saw it, Su Dong, the shooter king!" Sena replied concisely and concisely.
"That's right!" Paquito nodded, "He wants to score, but we can't let him score because we want to participate in the UEFA Cup next season. These three points are crucial, do you understand?"
"Don't worry!" Senna replied confidently.
"Physically, you and all of us are no match for him, so what I ask of you is to entangle him, cut off all the balls passed to him as much as possible, and don't let him have a chance to kick. If you can do it,
?"
Senna turned his head again, glanced at Su Dong on the court, and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry!"
Paquito doesn't know Senna very well, but he knows that the Brazilian defensive midfielder has always been a ruthless person and doesn't talk much.
He stopped talking and patted Senna on the shoulder, indicating that he could change people.
…………
…………
Substitutions were made almost at the same time as Valencia, with Brazilian midfielder Marcos Senna coming on as a substitute.
Senna, who was only 1.76 meters tall, stood only up to his shoulders in front of Su Dong, who was 1.95 meters tall. This forced him to slightly raise his head to look up at Su Dong, but his eyes were full of provocation.
Su Dong is really unfamiliar with Villarreal's No. 19 player.
This wasn't because he was lazy and didn't understand his opponent, but because Senna really didn't have much information.
The only thing that is certain is that the Brazilian defensive midfielder is very active and hard-working in defense. He is very difficult to deal with despite his size. More importantly, he not only knows how to defend, but also has good organization and passing abilities.
Seeing Senna walking directly in front of him, Su Dong smiled bitterly in his heart.
It seems that Paquito wants to completely seal himself off!
The two central defenders are close to each other, but that's not enough. Another defensive midfielder is needed.
It's interesting to say that Villarreal's two central defenders are not tall.
Coloccini, a rookie central defender from Argentina, is 1.84 meters tall. After joining AC Milan, he has been on loan. He has played for Alaves, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, and performed well.
Another central defender, Alvarez, is only 1.8 meters tall, but he came from the Barcelona youth training camp. He can be said to be the commander of Villarreal's defense and the backbone of Villarreal's outstanding performance this season.
Marcos Senna is the shortest and has the smallest background. The transfer fee is only 600,000 euros. He was previously unknown. Even if he performed well against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, it was nothing more.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Does Paquito want to use the human sea tactic?
I'm not tall enough, how many people do I need to make up?
But soon, Su Dong realized how difficult Marcos Senna was.
…
Villarreal's defense in the middle was not high enough. In order to restrict Sudong, they strictly restricted high balls from the wing.
After Su Dong finally received the ball from Aimar's feet, Marcos Senna rushed forward.
The first time the two came into contact, Su Dong used his body to fend off Marcos Senna, but soon, the Brazilian midfielder came close to him again.
He is not tall, but his movements are fast and flexible, and he has many movements with his hands. Anyway, it is a close fight.
Su Dong really couldn't find a chance, so he could only pass the ball back to his teammates and reorganize.
When he looked at Marcos Senna again, he realized that the Brazilian's body was not outstanding, and he was even a little short and thin, but he had a very tigerish temperament all over his body.
Anyway, I just want to fight with you!
One of us must get down!
Either you beat me until I can't get up, or I can fight you to the end!
He looked tough and confident, but at the first contact, Su Dong realized that this guy was very difficult to deal with.
…
Sure enough, in the next few contacts, Senna basically got close to him immediately. The two central defenders seemed to be assisting him in defense, and it was difficult for Sudong to take advantage of Senna.
His advantage is still very obvious, but when he is unable to hit the ball from the wing, he can only catch the ball through the ground, which greatly limits Su Dong's performance.
Encountering a difficult close defender with two central defenders eyeing him, Su Dong could hardly stand alone.
But game time waits for no one.
After Aimar and Vicente came on the court, although they worked hard to create opportunities for Su Dong, Villarreal's defense was also very well organized. The two players, let alone playing for Su Dong, were both playing for themselves.
It's hard to perform well.
Senna's active performance made Su Dong very curious.
This kid doesn't look like an ordinary player. Whether it's his style on the field or his personal abilities, he is very popular with the head coach. Why is he not famous?
Even in the zero-0 draw with Barcelona, Senna's name was mentioned briefly, and inattentive fans would not notice this strange player at all.
"This boy is not simple!"
The more difficult the opponent was, the more excited Su Dong was.
He likes to face strong enemies!
…
The game time passed by minute by second.
Valencia's frontcourt attack was slow to open up the situation, and Villarreal's counterattack failed to create a threat.
The game was fierce and fast-paced, but neither side could create any surprises.
Especially after the time entered the 85th minute, Villarreal became even more determined to hold on to the end.
Su Dong was still constantly looking for opportunities despite being closely monitored by his opponents.
He expanded his range of activities, ran with all his strength, and even lost track of time.
He would keep running until he heard the whistle blow.
He kept running like this, sometimes to the left, sometimes to retreat, sometimes to the right...
Vicente took the ball on the left and tried to break through Belletti, but failed.
Aimar took the initiative to move over to respond, and Su Dong also ran to the left along the line of the penalty area.
After receiving the pass from Vicente, the Argentine midfielder glanced ahead and quickly sent a straight pass to the left side of the front edge of the penalty area.
This pass happened to be on Sudong's running route, but Senna was also chasing after him. Coloccini in the penalty area also followed, and there was Alvarez next to him.
The three of them seemed to form a triangle defense formation.
Aimar's pass happened to pass in front of Senna, and the Brazilian defensive midfielder didn't even think about grabbing the ball. He still had to get close to Su Dong immediately, just like he did several times before.
He entangled Su Dong so that he couldn't turn around, so he naturally passed the ball back.
Senna and Coloccini attacked from behind. Su Dong had expected this, and he had also tasted the power of their combined attack. So this time, he did not choose to stop the ball, but used the heel of his right foot to knock it back.
Aimar's direct pass hit him directly behind him.
His burly body also stopped suddenly and turned around at the same time!
