326 defeat the Bat Legion

After scoring a goal, Blackburn's attack became more and more fierce.

For a while, Valencia's defense, known as the steel defense line in La Liga, was shaky. Even Cooper on the sidelines didn't expect it. Even strong as Real Madrid and Barcelona can't pose such a strong threat to Valencia's goal so easily.

But this hillbilly team from England, from the English countryside, can have such a strong offensive ability.

Cooper is very dissatisfied. Not dissatisfied with Valencia's defense, but dissatisfied with Valencia's counterattack.

Pressed by Blackburn's momentum, Valencia completely lost the momentum of counterattack.

There is no counterattack but only defense, which is not a normal team. Only a solid defense and counterattack can really make this team successful. Now Valencia has been attacked by Blackburn and has become only defensive, but unable to fight back.

Cooper knew that if it went on like this, he would definitely lose the game.

Now that a goal has been lost at home, if it ends like this, the away game will be difficult to play.

Cooper found an opportunity and seized Mendieta. Tell Mendieta that the game can't continue like this. In fact, Blackburn has a lot of loopholes now, especially the midfield and backfield and the frontcourt are completely disconnected. This is a space that can be used.

It's just that Valencia was stunned by Blackburn. I couldn't find the empty space, so Cooper pointed out the empty space to Mendieta now.

After Mendieta came on the field, he really took advantage of this empty space. This is because of the space left by Miku and Deke behind. Mendieta's ball control skills are indeed very good. And the front Amar also comes to help from time to time.

But George didn't respond at all to their use of this space.

When he cut off his team's attack and defense, George already knew that there was this space when he switched between attack and defense. It's just that Blackburn's defensive system is very complete, so as long as they can't attack in a short time, the players in Blackburn's frontcourt can come to support at any time.

This is a time difference.

If Valencia can break through Blackburn's goal before the frontcourt player comes back, then everything will be fine. Once they can't take advantage of this time, the Blackburn frontcourt players will also participate in the defense. At that time, Valencia's opportunity will be lost.

After all, George is a coach who emphasizes all-attack and defense.

Even Klose, Pires, Duff, and even Miku have to go into defense. Even if their defense is a show, it can affect Valencia's attack.

Both sides are playing time difference.

George believes that Blackburn's midfield can withstand Valencia's defense. But Cooper has to break through Blackburn's defense in this short period of time.

For the rest of the first half, both sides ended in this glue.

In the second half, George did not change this style of play. When attacking, only a few people in the front court were responsible. The players in the back will not go up at all, but when defending, the players in the front court have to defend back. Of course, they won't play their own defense in the front court like Burnley did. They still need to leave some physical attacks.

Therefore, the space in the middle still exists.

But George is not afraid. George, who has already scored an away game, is very confident. Even if Valencia scored a goal, it doesn't matter. As long as he can continue to score away goals, it is still beneficial to Blackburn.

Cooper can't do it. He is in a hurry. Even a one-to-one draw at home is a very bad result. It must be very difficult to go away from home. Therefore, he can only attack.

Both sides have had a chance in this way. It depends on who catches it first.

Unlucky, Valencia was the first to seize this opportunity.

Eleven minutes in the second half, Valencia made a quick counterattack. Aimar handed the ball to the Mendieta next to him and ran to the right. It looks like it's going to pass two, especially the previous Deco and Maclelei. Pires on the right side hasn't come back yet.

However, Mendieta did not give it to Aimar, but a very secret direct pass, to Juan, who was wandering on the left. Sanchez. This is a Spanish native player, which is characterized by relatively fast speed.

Mendieta's pass is just right, just right for Sanchez's start.

Sanchez started, and Ferdinand followed firmly. Don't think that Ferdinand is only 23 years old, and he is still very young among the defenders. Especially in the position of central defender, it is still a young defender. But Ferdinand's experience is very rich. It has been four years of experience in the Premier League.

The most popular in England are excellent center players and fast forwards.

Therefore, Ferdinand still has a certain ability to deal with them. Instead of stealing, he followed back, giving Sanchez a chance to enter the penalty area and have a chance to shoot. Sanchez saw Ferdinand's sophisticated defense and did not continue to rush, but gently picked it up and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Carru and Blanco grabbed the ball together.

With Blanco defending Caru, this ball should not be too dangerous. Although Karu took the lead in the ball, there was not much threat to the ball under the interference of Blanco. But... "... Karu, above the head... this goal, this goal. Kudichini is a big mistake, a mistake to cooperate with the defender.

Everyone is inexplicable about this ball.

It turned out that when Sanchez passed the ball, it was not only Caru and Blanco who competed for the ball. Even Kudichini stepped forward, but he slowed down. I couldn't get the ball. When I saw Caru and Blanco, I hesitated and didn't move forward.

Therefore, Karu's head ball is soft, although it is soft.

But the ball is also heading towards the goal. And because at this time, Kudichini did not stand in the door, but jumped out and didn't get the ball. So the whole goal is empty. Therefore, the top of the head without any threat turned out to be a goal.

Even George was furious on the court.

How can this kind of ball be lost?

For the first time, George felt that there was something wrong with Kudichni. Especially not decisive. This ball should be said to have no need to attack, but since it has been attacked, it should be like a tiger. Instead of halfway out, and hesitating.

Kudichni... No wonder he was later robbed of the main position by Cech. There is something wrong with the judgment. This ball should fully trust its own defender. And after the attack, even if you know it's wrong, you should have no hesitation.

Misjudgment? Indecisive?

This is a taboo for goalkeepers.

Kudichni's performance this season is actually very good. However, in some competitions, Kudichni's hesitation and misjudgment have also appeared many times.

But George was not in a hurry. One-to-one, Blackburn still has an advantage.

It's still Cooper who is in a hurry now. Sure enough, Cooper was not satisfied with one-to-one at all, but let the team continue to attack.

George is waiting for a loophole in Valencia's defense. When Valencia fought back defensively, their defense looked very solid. But once they attack, their defense line will definitely not be supported.

Not only George is waiting, but Miku in the midfield is also waiting.

After Valencia scored, they were very strong. Miku is not so easy to receive the ball in the front court, but Miku has no indication. I've been waiting and observing. Unconsciously, Valencia's entire offensive system moved forward.

However, after all, they are a team from defensive counterattacks, and none of the four people in the back line participate in the attack. I have always been very vigilant.

But Miku still found it.

The rear of Valencia is not as calm as it is. The two full-backs who were continuously attacked by Blackburn had physical problems, although it was impossible to see it from the outside. But from their footsteps, Miku still found it accurately.

Valencia's two centre-backs are in a stable position, and Klose's defense is also in place. It's a little difficult to think from the middle. But the side road?

The game continued. After a minute and a second, no one could break the door.

It was not until the 82 minutes of the game that Miku in the frontcourt received a long pass from Blanco.

After Miku got the ball, he still passed the ball under the interference of Baraha. It went to the left.

Before Miku passed the ball directly to Pires's feet, and then the breakthrough on the side was completely handed over to Pires. But this time Miku's pass went directly to the back of Angeloma. Because Valencia stepped up the attack, in order to maintain a certain distance between their three lines, although the defender line remained cautious, it still pressed forward.

This space is enough for Miku and Pires.

Don't look at the speed of Pires. It's not fast, but it's definitely not slow. It's enough compared with Angloma. At the moment when Miku passed the ball, Pires and Angeloma ran to the ball together. There is no doubt that the old thing about Angloma is revealed.

It can't keep up with Piret at all. After Piret got the ball, Valencia's defense was very tense. Because the first goal was caused by Pires's breakthrough.

Ayala and Perigrino stood still, not giving Pires a chance to shoot, but also looking at Cloze in the middle. Baraha looked at Miku firmly and didn't allow Miku to insert a shot back.

Pure dribbles the ball in a small space, with Angloma in the back and Ayala in the front. But Pires was not in a hurry. With a pocket of his left foot, the ball came out from the middle.

"...Pyre... He passed it to the left side of the penalty area... Who is this! Riese! Riese is plugged in! Shoot!"

Speaking of Valencia's right attack is completely different from the left. On the left is Keeley. Gonzalez, but on the right is Aimar and Mendieta taking turns. But after all, they are not authentic right-wingers, so the pressure on Riser is limited.

The honest Riser entered the backcourt with Pires taking the ball in the whole game.

Riese's back plug made the Valencia defender unable to defend against the surname. In the face of the ball passed by Piret, Riser shot fiercely with his left foot.
