Chapter 180 Second Lineup

Spanish media believe that Valencia is a strong contender for the Champions League qualification, in fact, it is already a high evaluation.

In the current La Liga, the strength gap between top teams and ordinary teams is still relatively large. In terms of championship competition, there are only three teams that can really have a chance to win the league championship - Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Madrid. Athletic, "no accident, three teams will definitely occupy the top three in the league", there is only one place left in the Champions League, in other words, Valencia is the strongest of the remaining 16 teams.

"World Sports News" commented on Valencia, "The loss of Mata is not a painful thing for Valencia. With the arrival of several new aids, the strength of Valencia's three lines will not be better than last season. Poor, in terms of lineup, Soldado, Canales and Parejo, three Real Madrid youth players gathered in Valencia, whether they can form the team's attacking triangle is worth watching."

"Canales and Parejo are new to the team and still need to fight for the main position, while Soldado has become an indispensable striker for Valencia. Last season, he scored 18 goals in La Liga. The ball proved itself."

"Also, Argentine midfielder Banega, despite his poor performance in the Copa America, is still at the heart of the attacking team when he returns to Valencia."

The most important thing to mention is head coach Emery, "Emery's coaching ability is trustworthy. As long as there is no problem with himself, Valencia is still the biggest favorite to get fourth in La Liga."

In the new season, Valencia will also compete in the Champions League. The third-line battle will be a test for them. Even the Valencia media admits, "The third-line battle will definitely drag down the team. The record is likely to suffer."

Valencia is definitely not reconciled to being the 'La Liga fourth'. This game has been the biggest focus since the league started, and it has also been regarded as a 'name battle' by Valencia. They hope to use their performance to prove that the team is also the league champion. A strong contender, not worse than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.

There are still a lot of fans who came to the Mestalla Stadium to support. The fans hope to pass the first few rounds, especially the battle with Atletico Madrid, to see what Valencia will have after the summer transfer. what kind of performance.

In the expectation of the media and fans, the game between the two sides is about to start.

Both teams have entered the field.

The media began to talk about the starting lineup of both sides, and it is surprising that Atletico Madrid did not send all the main force.

There is no problem with Diego Costa starting the game, and the other forwards have not played. "Aspen" previously broke the news about Atlético de Madrid's new 433 formation, which is not surprising. The more important thing is that in the midfield, there are three people in the midfield. The combination is J-Rodriguez, Isco and Raul Garcia.

Raul Garcia started nothing unexpected, but Morris was sitting on the bench, replaced by the Colombian star J-Rodriguez who joined the team in the summer.

Another surprise starter was Isco.

Isco performed very well last season, and it is not the first time to play on the left, but Atletico Madrid has a lot of talent after signing. Maurice and Mario Suarez can play on the left, but Maurice and Mario Suarez was all on the bench.

What is Wansheng planning to do?

Does he really want to play against Valencia's midfield with the combination of Isco, J-Rodriguez and Raul Garcia?

The media were surprised.

The Valencia media simply thought it was a humiliation. "That Chinese looked down on Valencia. He even thought that a young player and a newcomer would be enough to deal with Valencia!"

Valencia's media hopes that the team can beat Atletico Madrid, and then see what the Chinese will say.

Amid the discussions, the game between the two teams began.

In fact, the starting lineup of Atlético de Madrid is not bad. Except for the controversial starting of J-Rodriguez and Isco, there is nothing else. Rafael Varane's starting lineup has not attracted the attention of the media. Phil Varane's performance has been stable. In the eyes of many people, Atletico Madrid's back line does not seem to be so attractive.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's bench indifferently.

Valencia is a strong team, but Wansheng believes that there is a gap in strength between the two teams. Atletico Madrid is not last season, and he still needs to consider the team's third-line operations.

Isco, J-Rodriguez and Rafael Varane are indeed not absolute main players, but do you need to start all the main players in the game against Valencia?

Now is a rare opportunity to exercise!

Let Isco exercise, let J-Rodriguez exercise, they need the opportunity to adapt, to get familiar with playing against strong teams, and when they mature, they can narrow the gap between the team's bench and the main force, so that the team's strength In order to be more stable, not like now, as long as Atletico Madrid sends two substitutes, many media will come out and make irresponsible remarks. In fact, the fundamental reason is that there is a gap in the strength and experience of the team's main substitutes.

In this game, Ozil is the most eye-catching in the Atletico Madrid lineup. When Maurice did not play, he was the team leader and the captain on the field.

Ozil played at left-back, but in the 433 lineup, he was almost a left-forward.

When the game between the two teams started, Ozil also became the most-named player in the media. The left flank he led gave Valencia's defense a headache.

Isco is also one of the participants in the left attack, but Ozil is more of an individual player, not because he likes individual performance, but because he and Isco are difficult to cooperate with.

This situation also made Wan Sheng frown.

Wansheng glanced at the stadium and knew the reason. In fact, the problem of cooperation between the two was mainly caused by J-Rodriguez in the middle. Maybe he emphasized too much on the core position of J-Rodriguez, and the Colombian performed a little too much. He is too conservative, and plays very little in the offense. He mostly works as an offense-defense transition player, and he is more of a drop-back defense.

This guy has a problem playing!

Wan Sheng saw the problem, checked J-Rodriguez's state evaluation, and found that he was a little out of shape.

This is obviously a mental problem.

If you have personal ability, you must show it. Too much emphasis on J-Rodriguez has affected his performance.

Without the support of J-Rodriguez in the middle, it is simply impossible for a left midfielder and a left forward to have a straight-forward coordination.

Despite the unsatisfactory performance of J-Rodriguez, Atletico Madrid scored the first goal. It was in the 23rd minute of the game when Ozil dribbled the ball and made a cross to the right.

Raul Garcia followed with a long shot to help Atletico Madrid score.

1 to 0!

Atlético de Madrid ahead!

Valencia fans are disappointed to see the football fly into the goal, they don't want their favorite team to lose the game at their home.

Some fans began to shout cheers, the talkers were cheering for Valencia.

The Valencia media also thought to themselves, hoping that Valencia players could perform better.

The Valencia players may have received a signal from the fans and the media that after the restart of the game, they were very active on the offensive end, putting a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense.

In the 37th minute of the game, Valencia played a subtle cooperation. Banega, Pablo Hernandez and Canales fell on the left side. After Canales made a long pass to the penalty area, Pia. Thie followed with a header and sent it into the goal guarded by De Gea.

1 to 1!

The Mestalla Stadium was full of cheers, and the local fans were extremely excited and relieved to see Valencia tied the score.

After that, Valencia continued to attack, with the power of scoring goals, they even had an even match with Atletico Madrid.

The Valencia media said excitedly, "This is Valencia, and they are also the top team in La Liga! Even if the opponent is Atletico Madrid led by Wan Sheng, Valencia is not weak at all!"

"Wansheng looked down on Valencia, and even played against Valencia with a semi-substitute lineup at the Mestalla Stadium, but now, this Chinese should regret it, Valencia is not easy to deal with!"

————

Valencia is not easy to deal with?

Wan Sheng doesn't think so.

Now there is only Atletico Madrid's 'second-line' lineup on the field. If Maurice is replaced, the team's offense and defense will immediately rise to a higher level. This is the importance of core players.

Of course, he wouldn't do it.

In this game, Wansheng is going to give J-Rodriguez a chance. After all, Maurice is old, and he can't always insist on the whole game. Atletico Madrid needs J-Rodriguez to grow up quickly.

Now that J-Rodriguez's performance is not qualified, Wansheng knows what to do at halftime.

After the first half, the two sides competed for each other and fought fiercely, but in the end neither side scored a goal. At the end, the score was still 1-1, and the players of the two teams returned to the locker rooms.

Wan Sheng had been waiting in the locker room for a long time.

After all the players came to the locker room, Wan Sheng talked about the problems in the first half of the game, and then about the second half of the game. He didn't talk about the performance of individual players, but just talked about what to do as a whole.

After talking about the whole body, Wansheng let the players rest freely and found J-Rodriguez alone.

J-Rodriguez was a little nervous.

He kind of knows what the coach is looking for him to do. Compared with Morris's performance, he is indeed a lot worse.
