Chapter 324 Independent

Mendieta's fake fall and got a yellow card aroused the anger of the Valencia players. They then launched a more fierce attack, and Alkmaar's patience and had the opportunity to attack quickly. Although only Ronaldinho and three players on the front line launched the attack, the three of them broke through with the ball in addition to Tomasson. His ability is very strong. Although Robben is young, his speed and fast change of direction. The tormented Valencia defender is miserable, especially Ronaldinho. After letting him take the ball and turn around, no player can block it. At least two players need to defend, otherwise you must use it. The rules are to solve this counterattack.

Valencia scattered a lot of troops in defense and was not so smooth in attack. Valencia under Cooper played so smoothly, often sweeping Barcelona and Real Madrid, mainly because his front line can hold the ball, players can come out of the back, and the organization and creation ability of Mendieta in the middle.

Angulo on Valencia's front line is originally from the midfield. This gentleman withdraws the ball and takes the ball, breaks through with the ball, makes the ball, and shoots. He is used as half a midfielder. When countering, he can decide whether to divide the ball or break through according to the situation on the court, or control the ball and wait for his teammates to come up, and then organize it. Attack! Coupled with the good breakthrough and speed of the two-winged Ililie and Kiligonzález, the tacit cooperation of the three is often able to play a very clever cooperation. On the back, both Falinos and Alberda are players with outstanding physical fitness and broad vision. Mendieta also often withdraws to help them play the ball. Valencia plays Naturally, it is hand-made, so that the opponent can't defend against it.

However, today's Alkmaar has made a special deployment for Valencia-style defensive counterattacks. The backcourt shrinks the defense does not give three forwards space, undertakes defensive tasks on the front line, harasses Valencia's backs, and does not give them the opportunity to easily take the ball.

Alkmaar's first task in this game is not to score goals, but to prevent Valencia from scoring goals, so striker Tomasson also has a defensive task. His task is to grab at a high position and block the speed of Valencia's backcourt, although Jiang Mu did not stare at Valencia's back like he did with Barcelona's Guardiola. But Valencia's back is not as strong as Guardiola. If a player harasses him, the ball will not be so sharp.

Since the beginning of the game, Valencia felt very uncomfortable. Their original defense was like mercury. Even if they played against Real Madrid and Barcelona, it was difficult for their opponents to stop their attack. However, in this game, they were not like swimming fish in the water, but like falling into the mud. Running horse, it is difficult to take a step, the pass is not smooth, the service is difficult, and the Dribbling is blocked. In short, their attack just can't be played.

In a blink of an eye, 20 minutes have passed the game. Valencia's number of shots was 4, all of which were long-range shots and headers. There was only one shot in the goal. This was a long-range shot by Mendieta, but it was soft and weak, and it was still very straight. It was easily obtained by goalkeeper Cesar.

Alkmaar, who played a defensive counterattack, only had one less shot than Valencia, but two of the three shots were in the penalty area of Valencia, and a long shot was also quite threatening. If it is more threatening in the first 20 minutes, who should score more, then it can only be Alkmaar.

In the face of this situation, Cooper is very anxious. His goal is to score a goal in the first 30 minutes, at least one goal in the first half. This is the bottom line. If they can't score in the first half, they are basically sentenced to death with no hope.

Cooper's football philosophy is holism. He said, "What I need is a united and forging ahead team. The most important thing for this team is not to lose collective consciousness and will under any circumstances. Playing well does not mean meaningless 70,000 disks, but to have an effective attack and the same line of defense."

"Attack! Move forward boldly!"

" Press it! Keep pressing!"

Cooper stood on the sidelines, waved his arms and roared loudly. Now he can only let the players attack regardless of the danger. The danger of not scoring is the biggest danger. At this time, being scored by the opponent is immediately shot, and if he does not score is postponed execution. There is no difference between the two. Of course, Cooper chooses to let go. A hand fight.

Under Cooper's command, Valencia's players began to fight for their lives in about 20 minutes. They all pressed near the midfield and pushed Alkmaar's striker to the middle circle, leaving only one goalkeeper Canizares in the backcourt to catch the ball.

Of course, this is extremely dangerous, but there are many benefits. In this way, Alkmaar's high front court is gone. The ball is basically carried out in Alkmaar's half, and the attack is more direct. Basically, there is no need for the excess of the backcourt and midfield. Even the central defender can take the ball directly. Launch an attack in the restricted area of Alkmaar.

The number of times the ball was passed to Alkmar's penalty area. The bottom passed, the diagonal pass, the 45-degree angle pass, long-range shot, rushing, the ball flew in the Alkmaar's penalty area, was pushed out, kicked in again, kicked out again, and passed in again, but under Alkmar's tight defense, Wa There is no way for Lencia to score a goal, because the space to get up and jump in the penalty area is too small at this time. The personnel are so dense, and the time to react to the players is too short. Even if you can react, you can't guarantee that there is room for shooting. There are so many people in front of the goal, Valencia's players must be the fastest time. The shot, and just through the seams, requires good luck and character.

If Valencia has strong centers such as Vieira and Morentes at this time, even if there are strong strikers such as Drogba and Klose, the goal will be easier to score, but Valencia only has players like Ilier, Angulo and Kiliganzález, and they will only get Killing people with a dagger, he can't swing a huge hammer.

Huang Jian, the commentator of CCTV Channel 5, said, "It's cruel to Cooper at this time. They can see the opponent's goal, but they can't get the ball in. There are Sanchez and Glad on their bench, but they don't even have a strong center. At this time, the alien Ronald It's useless to do more. What they need is Vieri, Drogba. What makes Cooper more painful is that there are two strong centers on Alkma's bench, Drogba and Klose. They can only look at the court dryly, but they don't have a chance to play.

For Cooper, it is true. He misses the center very much now. Next season, he thinks that whether Valencia has money or not, he must buy a center to let go, so as not be able to score when he encounters this kind of iron barrel array.

Valencia's big attack did not make Alkmaar's players panic much. He dealt with the opponent's attack in an orderly manner and then counterattacked calmly. Now, they still have two and a half chances to make mistakes. The opponent must score at least three goals to eliminate them, which is a prerequisite for Alkmaar's calmness and self-confidence. Just like walking on the edge of a cliff and walking on a wide road, people's mood must be completely different.

When the game reached 30 minutes, Valencia still did not score, which means that Cooper's plan failed before the game. Their bottom line was to score in the first half. At this time, Valencia's attack was more crazy, more desperate, and his movements became very big. It seemed that they were not The La Liga team is the Premier League team.

However, Valencia's fierce attack still did not get a goal, but in exchange for Alkmaar's sharper counterattack.

In the 32nd minute, Alkmar's defender Lucio headed the ball, and the ball fell in front of Robben. In front of the red-eyed Alberda, the ball passed the top of Alberda's head. Alberda reached out to catch Robben, but Robben flashed like a fish to avoid Alberda. , move forward quickly, hit the ball with the forehead, and hit Valencia's half like the wind. Now there is no one in Valencia's half, and the defenders are standing in the middle circle. To kill is to face the goalkeeper.

Robben's speed was so fast that he passed the back Alberda. Right-back Carboni didn't have a chance to foul. The space was so large that Robben dribbled the ball very fast. The ball seemed to stick to his feet, dodged left and right, and swayed Caponi to the ground. Then Robben rode the dust and went straight to the penalty area of Valencia.

At this time, Valencia's fans are completely desperate. This is not because they only have one goalkeeper in the backcourt, but because Alkmaar, in addition to Robben with the ball, Tomasen also follows up as fast as possible. The two strikers have formed a double ghost racket situation. Valencia is already nine dead. A lifetime.

Robben is like a run-deed Mustang, galloping in the half of Valencia. He carried the ball from the side to the center of the penalty area, but only Tomasson followed closely behind him. Behind Tomasson were the defenders Jigkidzi and Peregrino.

There was a dead silence in the stands. Both Alkmaar fans and Valencia fans know that this is a goal that determines life and death.

On the bench and coach bench, players and coaches from both sides also stared nervously at the court to see the performance of Robben and Canizares.

Canizares is the last line of defense of Valencia at this time. His battlefield is in the penalty area. The experienced Canizares is very clear, so he did not steal like a defender, but kept retreating. He has retreated to the restricted area more than ten meters away from the front of the penalty area.

Robben also hit the penalty area at this time. Canissares was originally retreating, but at this time, he suddenly retreated to advance, quickly attacked, and came up to attack Robben's foot.

At this time, Robben has three choices. He can shoot, pass Canissares, and pass the ball to Tomasson. But by this time, Robben has forgotten the existence of his teammates, and he only has the goalkeeper and goal in his eyes.

Pluck the ball, pass!

Robben made the worst choice, and he chose the goalkeeper.

The strongest of Canizales is the single knife. He is short and reacts quickly, and he fished the ball out of Robben's feet in an instant.

Luo himself passed, and the ball was gone.
