Chapter 316 Midfield Adjustment

Due to Kuit's goal in the fortieth minute, after returning to the locker room, the Valencia players did not look very well and looked depressed. It seems that one side has been eliminated!

The atmosphere in the locker room is very dull. Cooper knows what he has to say. The low morale has a great impact on the game. The brave win on the narrow road. The two teams are fighting for the first time. Judging from the first half of the game, the strength is comparable, but the opponent is very cunning. He is too good at the fighter and scored two goals. If the players don't even have the courage and confidence to win the game, the game will be meaningless.

Papa!

Cooper clapped his palm and said, "What are you doing with your head down? The game has only passed half. If we count the game in Mestalla, a quarter has just passed now, and there is still a lot of time. Moreover, if we can score a goal here, then we may become the winner of the game. An away goal is very important to us. A 1:2 score can make We can go home at ease. It was them who were depressed at that time. Think about it, isn't it?

Words are the key to happiness. Cooper's words immediately had an immediate effect. He lost two balls, and Kanizales, who was still wrapped in gauze on his head, first applauded and said, "Yes! Can't we even score a single goal?"

Angulo said, "As long as we can hold the backcourt, we can score goals."

Angloma is an old player. He said coldly, "How can we keep it if you don't put a little pressure on your opponents?"

Cooper patted the old cabinet in the locker room. "In addition to the despicable and shamelessness of the opponent, we were a little passive in the first half. The main reason was that there was a problem with my tactical arrangement. The five midfields discharged by the opponent made us very passive. It was difficult for our counterattack to pass through the opponent's midfield. In addition, the opponent's tactical tone It's very flexible and fast, so that we can't keep up with their pace. We have to make changes in the second half... Well, you can also mention what you have.

There was silence in the dressing room. After a while, the veteran Angeloma said, "I think it's too slod. They have piled up so many people in the midfield. It's difficult for us to quickly pass the midfield. It's not as threatening the long counterattack in the first half, although we will be beaten by the opponent next. A counterattack."

Captain Mendieta said, "The opponent made the most detailed arrangement for our counterattack. We were restricted in every step of passing the ball. The counterattack was very difficult. Their tactics and formation changed too fast. We played very passively. As soon as we got used to their playing style, they immediately changed it."

Cooper coughed and said, "If we only lose one goal, it's okay for us to play defensive counterattacks. Now we have to attack. Don't they hoard troops in the midfield? Then we will hit their front court and directly attack their back defense line. Goal is the first task in the second half, as long as we can get the guest. A goal is a victory. Next, let me talk about the tactical layout of the second half. The door tower is pushed forward and pushed to the opponent's area within 30 meters. The premise is that the two full-backs and full-backs keep a close distance..."

In the locker room of the home team, Alkmaar's players were jubilant and scored two goals in the first half, which was the best start for them, but Jiang Mu still maintained his light expression, leaning on the door of the locker room and watching the players talk and relax. .

After almost seven or eight minutes, Jiang Mu opened his mouth and said, "I think everyone is happy, so let you be happy for a while. Now we are going to remind you. I just heard everyone talking about scoring another goal in the second half, but no one mentioned what would happen if Valencia scored a goal in the second half. Who will tell me that if the final result of the game is 2:1, will everyone still laugh as happily as now?

Jiang Mu's words silenced everyone, because in the two rounds of knockout matches, they first win 2:1 at home. The probability of promotion is similar to 0:0 at home, even lower than winning 1:0 at home. If Valencia scores in the second half and they do not score again, the 2:1 score can only be called a tragic victory.

2:0 Congratulations. Everyone played very well. What I asked, everyone did it. I didn't ask for it. Everyone also did a good job. It's hard to do better than 2:0. But in the second half, we must be careful not to give the opponent a chance to score. We'd rather play a 2:0, not 3. 1. In the second half, they will definitely attack, so we will fight back patiently and low-key. Don't care about face. Winning is the biggest face. In the second half, we should do a good level of defense in our own half. There is no need for intensive defense. Their attack power is not as good as Barcelona. Intensive defense is to give them a chance to make trouble for ourselves. Well, let's continue to rest and prepare for the second half.

Fifteen minutes later, Portuguese referee Batista blew the whistle of the second half of the game, and the game continued!

"It seems that Cooper realized that he had made mistakes in tactics, so he adjusted Valencia's lineup. Mendieta's position was more forward, and the two full-backs also began to assist frequently. Although Valencia did not fall behind in the first half, Valencia had to attack in terms of score. For them, falling behind 0:2 will make them very uncomfortable at home. Even if they fail, they can accept 1:2, or even 3:1, and they will never accept 2:0. "

"Oh, Alkmaar, who leads the score has also made changes. Their formation continues to shrink backwards. Except for the striker in the opponent's half, everyone else has returned to their own half, but Alkmaar's formation remains very good. It seems that they are going to fight against Valencia with defensive counterattacks. If in the end He died under the defensive counterattack he was best at, and Valencia also died. The Dutch commentator didn't say anything at all.

Cooper used the tactics of defensive counterattack, which embarrassed Real Madrid and Barcelona in these two seasons, and now he has finally tasted the pain of his opponent's defensive counterattack.

Alkmaar's players are very young, with good physical strength and active running. The impact of the counterattack is very strong. Once they get the opportunity, the players in the front court will immediately press out and carry out a large-scale, all-round counterattack against Valencia from the two sides and the middle, so that Valencia has to return to the whole line.

It was only five minutes in the second half. Because of Valencia's big attack, Alkmaar has hit them several counterattacks. Although Valencia is also good at defensive counterattacks and does a good job in defense, they have to run back from the front court to defend. This physical consumption and psychological fear also make every All Valencians felt panicked.

Although Alkmaar played a defensive counterattack, the Alkmaar fans in the stands did not stop cheering. The defensive counterattack did not meet the aesthetic views of Dutch fans, but Alkmaar is an alternative. They are lonely and nameless. They have repeatedly created miracles. They entered There are a lot of balls, even if it is a defensive counterattack, it is interpreted by them, which makes Jiang Mu shape the supreme prestige in the minds of the fans. No matter what kind of lame tactics Jiang Mu plays, it can be accepted by Dutch fans. If he were another head coach, even a world-class famous coach, he would have been stimulated long ago. The Dutch fans booed!

Valencia's strong attack did not receive the effect expected by Cooper. They are used to defensive counterattacks and often score goals, so they are a little overestimating their attack power. In fact, their set does not work for Alkmaar, because their middle penetration is familiar to Dutch players, their side The attack is the same as that of Dutch football, but their penalty area lacks a strong center. It is difficult to pose much threat to Lucio and Ismail, which makes Alkmaar's defense seem to be comfortable, but Valencia's attack seems to be only futile, which makes Valencia fans more and more desperate.

In the 55th minute of the game, Alkmaar got another chance to fight back.

This time, Alkmaar's counterattack was more concise and smooth. Van Bomer, who was responsible for the conversion of offense and defense in the backcourt, received a steal from Lucio and directly rubbed the ball over the intercepted Valencia player to find Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho played more easily and played better after 2:0. In a difficult situation, he actually passed the ball to Kuite with a pad on his back.

This pass is a magic stroke. Even Falinos, who is not far from Kuit, is unprepared and can only watch Kuite's easy pass.

Tomasson, who made Valencia fans unable to sit at ease, appeared at the most important place for the first time and took the football forward, which once again formed an opportunity to go to the meeting alone.

The atmosphere in the stands immediately became tense. Both Alkmar fans and Valencia fans held their breath and waited uneasily for the result of the counterattack. If the goal was scored, Valencia was basically gone. Whether they scored or not, there was little hope of reaching the finals.

Cooper and Jiang Mu, as well as the fans in the coaching and bench, knew that the ball was important. At this time, they stood up nervously and couldn't help walking to the sidelines, staring closely at Tomasson with the ball.

Tomason's high-speed diskette wants to get rid of the two defenders that are chasing behind him, Jukic and Pellegrino, but because Alkmaar is counterattacking at half-time and the distance of counterattack is very long, Tomason's speed with the ball must be slower than running in the air, so the distance between him and the centre-back is getting closer and closer.

Tomasson heard the breathing behind his back and the shouting "be careful" of the fans in the stands. When he was in a hurry, the ball was a little big.

At this time, the alert Canissares saw the opportunity. He quickly went out of the penalty area and destroyed the ball before Tomason was about to control it again.

Ah!

Alas!

The sky above the Dehot Stadium was echoed by the sighs and exclamations of the fans. A good opportunity was lost, Valencia escaped from death, and the next game was still very difficult for both sides.
