Chapter 326 Bold Replacement
After the start of the second half, Valencia showed a different mental state from the first half. If the first half was hard work, the second half was desperate.
Valencia played a defensive counterattack under the leadership of Cooper, but they were not rude. They were the defensive counterattack of the technical flow, relying on fast and efficient, but in the second half, Valencia changed. They became a fierce and rough team. Although the tackle did not leave the ground, they did not close their feet, and the backs were small. There are more legs and ankles, and the small movements of pulling hands are also continuous.
In the second half of the game, the total score led by 4:1. In the face of fouls that may hurt people, Alkmaar's players inevitably think a little more, because Valencia may go home after playing this game, but Alkmaar still has to play the finals. As a player, who doesn't want to stand in his dreams. On the field of the UEFA Champions League final, if you are injured, you will definitely miss this final. At this time, the young players have a little selfish thoughts, and they are a little timid of stealing and driving the ball, not as brave as before.
Meet the brave on the narrow road
Valencia and Alkmaar are very close in strength. Valencia also has a home advantage. Alkmaar's timidity, Valencia's possession rate, cross rate and number of shots immediately slip up.
In the third minute of the second half, Valencia took a steal in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot.
Ilie's forced grab made Martens make a mistake in passing the ball. The ball was not sent to Van Bomel's feet and was intercepted by Mendieta halfway.
At this time, Mendieta finally showed the role of an organization's field, swinging past Van Bomel, who was eager to grab, and then calmly pushed his foot bow and gave Cobra Ilie a straight plug.
Direct oblique insertion
The cobra Ilie is like a viper that launched an attack. It started in an instant, surpassing Martens, who was still regretting his mistake just now. Before Lucio intercepted, he pushed and shot. The ball was not strong, but the angle was extremely tricky and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Illier's shooting time is very small, so he can't exert force, but the position of his shot is a little inside the penalty area line, and the push shot is quite a dead corner of the goal, and the difficulty of saving is also quite large.
At this time, Cesar showed the potential of a future world-class goalkeeper. He flew to save almost without any reaction time, but blocked the ball before the ball was about to cross the line, and then Riser kicked the ball out of the sideline.
Jiang Mu was very dissatisfied with the defense of these few minutes, but he didn't have time to express his dissatisfaction to the players. At this time, the opponent was about to send an out-of-bounds ball to attack.
The ball was thrown directly into the penalty area like a grenade. The ball was pushed out by Lucio, but the distance was not far. The power of throwing the ball by hand must not be as powerful as kicking, and it was also weak when relieving the siege.
The ball fell in front of Alberda. The defensive midfielder also did offensive work at this time. He pulled out his foot and shot angrily, and the ball roared straight to the goal.
This kick has reached a high level! The goalkeeper Cesar had to make another wonderful save before he made a long shot. However, the landing point fell to the foot of the Valencia player again, and the ball was hung into the penalty area again. This time, he was finally grabbed by Valencia's players. Unfortunately, Angulo's header was far away from the post.
After the end of Valencia's attack, Jiang Mu immediately issued an order to captain Van Bomel, asking him to warn his teammates not to dodge, to boldly fight with their opponents, and replace whoever dodged.
Jiang Mu's order played a role. Under the roar of captain Van Bomel, the players fought actively, and the game scene immediately became full of gunpowder.
Because Valencia has not scored yet, they are more impatient and move more. Captain Van Bomel is also fierce because he wants to set an example for his teammates. In the fifty-fifth minute, Valencia launched a fierce attack, and the midfielder Alberta suddenly inserted the ball. Under the interference of the defensive players, Alberda dribbled the ball a little bigger. Van Bomer and Valencia's midfielder Alberda tackled the ball at the front of the penalty area at the same time, but bumped into each other. Alberda and Van Bomer did not close their feet. As a result, the ball unexpectedly rolled to Angulo's feet, and Angulo took the opportunity to pull the ball in. The net.
1:0
The stadium in Mestaria is full of joy. Although this goal is a little late, it still gives Valencia fans great hope, because they can eliminate Alkmaar as long as they score two more goals. It used to be an illusory thing, but now it seems to have some hope.
What makes Valencia fans and players happier is that Alberda did nothing about the collision just now, while Van Bomel was hit and his thigh muscles were strained.
There is nothing wrong with losing a goal. Valencia needs to score two more goals if she wants to turn over, but Van Bomel's injury is a problem for Jiang Mu. If Gattuso is injured, Jiang Mu can directly replace him with Enger, but Van Bomel also has the function of transporting the ball from the back court to the front court, which can't be done by Enge. And Gattuso can't complete it. After getting on Enge, it is very difficult for Alkmaar's ball to be transferred to Ronaldinho's feet in the front court. Unless Ronaldinho retreats sharply and comes to the front of the penalty area, the front waist is used as the back waist. Milan's Pirlo has been used like this by Ancelotti, but Alkmaar Without such a long tradition of counterattack, you can't learn it at once.
So Jiang Mu thought about it again and again and finally decided to replace Van Bomel with veteran La Yi.
"Van Bomel was accidentally injured and his opponent scored a goal. Alkmaar was forced to replace him, but Jiang Mu was not a defensive midfielder, but a veteran Layi who organized the attack. This is a bold substitution. The veteran Layi has not appeared in the Champions League for a long time because of his age and physical strength, even if He seldom appeared in the league, but now he appears in the most intense and intense semi-finals. Jiang Mu's courage and courage are really amazing.
Jiang Mu's decision not only shocked the fans and commentators, but also the veteran La Yi. At that time, he was just sorry and sighed by Van Bomel's injury. He didn't expect Jiang Mu to prepare him to play.
"Coach, do you call me?"
"Yes, Layi, now the team needs you. Go up and use your experience to help me hold on to these last dozens of minutes. We have encountered difficulties.
La Yi nodded with surprise and joy, and immediately began to change his clothes and run a few laps on the sidelines. For old players in their thirties, it is necessary to warm up fully, otherwise they are more likely to get injured.
Alkmaar played with Valencia for three or four minutes in the situation of one less person, and it was even more dangerous in the penalty area. Mendieta did not have the fierce Van Bomel's follow. He behaved like a master. He commanded in the midfield, like a leisurely walk, often a straight plug and A cross on the side road made Alkmaar busy for a long time.
At this time, the veteran La Yi finished warming up. He suddenly whispered to Jiang Mu, "Coach, the opponent's morale is strong and has the intention to hurt people. We want to survive this period of time, but we don't want to get hurt. I think there is only fraud."
Jiang Mu's eyes have been staring at the court, as if he didn't hear what La Yi was saying, but he patted La Yi's shoulder heavily. Brazilian players are all old and oil. La Yi, a player who doesn't know how many years he has been playing in football, is the best among them. He immediately understood what Jiang Mu meant. This kind of thing is just Do it, but he can't encourage him as a coach.
Although Jiang Mu was very calm, and it seemed that the goal had no impact on him, in fact, the goal still made Jiang Mu a little worried.
Valencia has to score at least two goals, but as long as Valencia has another goal, the mentality of the Alkmaar players will immediately become very nervous, and once the players are nervous, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Jiang Mu must not let Valencia score another goal, or he must score another goal, so as to ensure that the situation of the game can be controlled.
Lai's appearance did not attract enough attention from Cooper. He was a little strange, but at this time, Cooper did not think that an outdated Brazilian veteran could reverse the situation of the game. He still asked his players to show the fighting spirit and never give his opponent a chance to breathe.
And this is indeed the best opportunity for Valencia, because Alkmaar's central defender combination is already unstable and can only be scored by Valencia until now. It mainly depends on the support of two midfielders. Now Van Bomer is injured and changes an attacking veteran, Valencia. It will definitely be much better than when Van Bommel was present.
However, after Layi came on the court, he told Ronaldinho what he meant, and Ronaldinho told Lucio, and then the whole team understood what to do.
Next, Valencia's players and coaches began to have a headache. They tried to deter Alkmaar with fierce killing tactics, but Alkmaar fought against fake falls. As long as Valencia's players shoveled fiercely, whether they shoveled or not, they must fall down, shouting and long. I don't have time.
The referee Hauge also has a headache. He doesn't know whether the Alkmaar player is injured or not, because the Valencia player's movements are very big and his expression is very fierce. It seems that every move is going to kill people, so he can only keep whistling and let the team doctor play, so that the rhythm of the game is completely gone. Continuation, sometimes like constipation, sometimes like diarrhea, Valencia originally wanted to hit the iron while it was hot and score another goal, but now the rhythm was all disrupted, and she was so angry that she shouted, but there was nothing she could do.
The commentators on the communication table also held their own opinions. The Spanish commentators saw Alkmaar's players being carried down from the stadium on a stretcher, and soon became lively on the court, angrily condemned, "It's ridiculous! It's so unethical! This is a fraud. It's really a shame for Dutch football to do such a promiscuous behavior in order to win.
But the Dutch players said: "Spanish players are rude like Premier League players. Every move of them is like trying to waste a player's career. They are terrorists on the court. It is reasonable to deal with terrorists in any way."
