Chapter 442: One Less Person but Not Passive
?
Due to the lack of one person to fight, Notts County could not continue to be unrestrained, and the formation was compressed to 441. Sneijder moved to the left, and only Villa was in the front.
Valencia has always been afraid of Notts County's attack, but now that there is one less person on the opposite side, they don't have so many concerns. After sorting out the order, they began to attack in an orderly manner.
For La Liga teams, passing control can be described as a housekeeping skill. Even if Benitez's Bat Legion defends the top in Europe, he will never forget the most basic things in his bones, even if there is no top organizer, Can pass the ball still looks like it.
From the fierce competition between the two sides for the midfield in the first half, to the fact that Valencia can easily control the midfield in the second half, there is only a gap between them.
Seeing the team being so brave, the Valencia fans in the stands are about to climax. They don't care if their opponent is missing one person or not, even if the opponent only has one goal left!
Of course, Valencia's offensive is very strong, but there is a lack of commanders who lead the way. The midfield transfer is smooth, but when it comes to the dangerous area, it is difficult to create opportunities from the front. Only Vicente, the winger, is on the side. Lu makes a fuss, or inserts a long shot in the midfield.
Although Notts County is passive, Valencia has invested heavily in the attack, which means that the defense behind it is empty, and Notts County's counterattack is also very effective.
Therefore, from the perspective of the scene, Valencia has the advantage of possession, and various statistics have risen. It seems to be completely suppressed, but people who really understand the ball can see that Valencia has not taken too much advantage from the situation. Offensive data on both sides is equal.
In the 65th minute of the second half, it was not Valencia who took the lead in making a killing, but Notts County, who had one less person to fight.
After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Alonso found Robben with a long pass. Peter Pan could be regarded as getting the space to run. On the right, he dashed a hurricane and smashed into the area near the penalty area. De outflanked the shot, and the ball looked like it was going to get into the goal, but it hit the goal post accurately at the last moment, which made the players of Notts County regret for a while.
Valencia's players also broke out in a cold sweat. In the hot weather, they felt that their backs were cold, and they were afraid. If the goal was really scored by Notts County, then Valencia might really want to. Totally passive.
Benitez is more anxious than the players. The team's offense is messy and he has no good way. He can't go into battle and teach the players how to play!
So, his eyes turned to Aimar, who was also anxious on the bench.
The Joker has been recovering from injuries, although he returned to the team before the game and participated in the team's joint training,
But Valencia knows that Aimar's injury is not good, and letting him sit on the bench is more of a strategic consideration to stabilize the morale of the army, but if he can be excluded, then it is best not to play Let him play.
But in the current situation, Valencia lacks a creative midfielder, and there is no more suitable candidate than Aimar. Baraja and Albelda are both offensive and defensive midfielders, but when it comes to creativity Strength, and the top front waist is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away!
After thinking about it, gritted his teeth, and finally Benitez let Aimar go to warm up, and in the 70th minute of the game, let Aimar replace Ruffit, Aimar hit the middle, Angulo was in the position Moved to the right lane.
The appearance of the clown Aimar has made Valencia's offensive threat rise sharply. Even if it is not the top midfielder, in this era, Aimar can still rank in the forefront. Created a huge threat to the defense line of Notts County.
In the 76th minute of the second half, Aimar grabbed the ball to attract Alonso's defense, and then went straight to the ground. Vicente received the ball near the bottom line on the left and knocked across the middle. Joe Hart's fingers crossed.
In the 81st minute of the second half, Valencia made a comeback, and Aimar got the ball again, but when everyone thought he would continue to feed the ball for his teammates, he suddenly started in place to get rid of Alonso's defense, and then in the big game. A long shot from the penalty area line, the ball went straight to the dead end of the goal.
At this time, Joe Hart, who likes big scenes, broke out. His good physical fitness made him take off powerfully and stretched out his figure. When the ball was about to go to the goal, he looked at the ball and lifted it off the crossbar.
Although he fell and was embarrassed, after Joe Hart got up, he still got the unanimous approval and encouragement from the big brothers in the first team. This guy was born for big scenes.
Although Loew was also admiring Joe Hart's save, the team's passive situation after Aimar came on stage made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
So Loew made personnel adjustments, Mascherano replaced Sneijder, Kaka replaced Villa, the team's formation became a 432 trapezoidal position, and once again sacrificed three midfielders Tactics, Kaka and Robben, the two fastest counter-attack points, are left in the front.
Mascherano's mission is very clear, that is, to use his airtight defense to mark Aimar to death. Mascherano will not be merciful because he is an Argentine fellow.
As for Robben and Kaka in the frontcourt, as long as there is a chance to counterattack, one person alone may be able to create enough commotion in Valencia's half-court. Now the two of them cooperate to make Valencia's defense even more. restless.
In the battle of wits and courage with Benitez, Loew was not at a disadvantage. Although he is not good at adjusting on the spot, this time is the time to test the true strength of the two teams.
After the adjustment, the situation of the game changed immediately. Aimar was no longer comfortable with the ball. Mascherano showed his ability to see, so that Aimar could not carry the ball, nor did he pass the ball. Line of sight and space, martial arts abolished more than half.
As a result, Valencia's offensive threat has declined, and Notts County's counterattack opportunities have also increased. Robben and Kaka, two players with super combat ability, stirred up Valencia's half-court. The wind and rain made waves, even if they didn't score a goal, the Bat Legion had to see part of their focus on counterattacks.
The scene stalemate once again, although in the eyes of ordinary fans, this kind of game scene is not beautiful, but people who really understand the ball know that this kind of game is more valuable.
The game went on until the 83rd minute. Once again, Benitez was dissatisfied with the situation and adjusted the personnel. The defensive midfielder Sissoko played, but unexpectedly topped the striker position.
This tactic, Loew looks very familiar, because before Klose joined, he often used this tactic!
