Chapter 243 Anti-Offside

Maduro returned to the field, and he told all his teammates about Emery's orders. But his brows have been frowning. He understands what the coach said 'there is no way'. This game has played so far, he knows that the chance is not big, mainly because the team is too passive, but what he doesn't understand is , why the coach insists on dangerous tactics to score goals.

The game is lost.

Victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. Valencia is not the first in La Liga or Europe. Losing a league game, especially a game against Atlético Madrid, which is the first in the league, is not a big deal at all. The game is still in Carl Delong Stadium, even if the game is lost, the media and fans can understand.

But if you lose by a big score, it will be different!

If Valencia loses the game by a big score, Valencia will definitely be dissatisfied and blamed. At that time, the media and fans will be dissatisfied, and they will also say in the report that "Valencia was humiliatingly defeated".

That is unacceptable.

Didn't the coach think about this?

Maduro is very puzzled, but he is just a player, and he can only follow the coach's arrangement when he arrives on the field, but the Valencia players don't know that the club's president Llorente's request for the game is "must win".

Emery has no other choice but to fight hard, at least let Llorente see that he has worked hard.

Once the game restarted, Valencia took advantage of possession and stormed towards the Atlético de Madrid half.

In the face of Valencia's attack, Atletico Madrid's formation also shrunk slightly. Since there is only Morris as a midfielder, the two wingers Kevin De Bruyne and Raul Garcia have to quickly retreat. , to ensure the defensive hardness from the front of the penalty area to the center line.

Atlético de Madrid's defensive backfield is actually not many.

In this game, Wansheng mainly emphasized the defense of the middle. With Morris and two central defenders, the penalty area in the middle can still be guaranteed, and Valencia's strongest offensive is in the middle, as long as the middle can be defended well. , it's almost halfway through.

Valencia's offense ran into trouble, with striker Soldado confined to death.

Soldado is a very important player in Valencia's squad. He just turned 26 this year and is at the peak of his career as a striker.

The Spanish striker, who is in his prime, is an uncompromising "product" of Real Madrid's youth training, but in the star-studded Real Madrid first team, Soldado could not get a stable playing opportunity at all. , In three seasons, his cumulative appearances are only a pitiful 27 games.

This is also ultimately doomed to Soldado and Real Madrid.

Unable to get a chance in Real Madrid for a long time, Soldado could only choose to leave. After that, he played for Osasuna, Getafe, and especially for the two seasons he played for Getafe. Soldado really showed In addition to his talent, he played 66 times, scored 33 goals and averaged an efficiency of 0.5 per game. His outstanding performance made him a representative of the Spanish strikers.

In the summer of 2010, Valencia officially announced that Soldado had joined.

In Valencia last season, Soldado continued his efficiency, scoring 17 goals in 35 league games, which is enough to prove his state ability and stabilize his main position.

In the current Valencia squad, Soldado has a very important impact on the attack.

When Soldado was restrained, Valencia's attack was blocked in front of the goal. Soldado couldn't compete for Atletico Madrid's defenders, and he always failed to receive passes. Even the Valencia commentator admitted, "Atletico Madrid's defense against Soldado was very successful!"

Not only Soldado was defended, but also their core midfielder Banega.

Banega is the core of Valencia's offense. Although his performance in the Argentine national team has been criticized, he is still very good at the Valencia club.

Atletico Madrid made a special arrangement for the defense behind the center line, the purpose is to limit the breakthrough and passing of Valencia in the middle to pass the ball to a dangerous position, so every time Banega wants to dribble the ball, he will be affected by Madrid. Competitive stubbornness.

After failing twice, Banega began to seek cooperation with his teammates, but Atletico Madrid's pressing was very intense, and Valencia passed the ball in a row, and it was easy to make mistakes.

Time and time again, Valencia's attack could only come back in vain.

When it was Atletico Madrid's turn to attack, Valencia started to be offside. This was the coach Emery's advice and Valencia's helpless choice. When most players stepped forward to participate in the attack, the defensive manpower was not enough. It's not enough, they can only limit their opponents by making offsides.

This trick is very effective at first.

Atlético de Madrid didn't know that Valencia was going to be offside. When they saw the opponent's back line pressing forward collectively, they thought that the opponent was going to launch a massive offensive to get a chance to tie the score.

This must have been a good opportunity for a through ball, and the referee whistled continuously for offside.

Atlético de Madrid didn't take it seriously at first, and it was normal to be offside twice occasionally, but consecutive offsides were unusual.

"Valencia is deliberately offside?"

Wan Sheng turned his head to look at Valencia's coaching bench and used offside to limit Atletico Madrid's attack to support Valencia's continuous offensive. Emery is really capable of thinking of this method.

For Valencia, who was almost in a desperate situation on the field, it was almost like a stroke of genius.

but……

Even if dead wood survives, it needs a lot of luck to continue to survive. It needs enough sunlight and nutrient-rich soil. If one condition is not met, the fate of dead wood is doomed.

Wan Sheng smiled.

Atlético de Madrid will not cooperate with Valencia to create conditions, but should seize the opponent's weakness and smash the opponent to death, so that the opponent has no chance. To be sure, Valencia did not practice offside in a targeted manner. Although they may be no strangers to this defensive play, they still have very few opportunities to use it. After all, in La Liga, Valencia is strong enough to beat most teams, and Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid are three. In the game, the team should also stabilize the defense and seek counterattacks, instead of using dangerous offside tactics to support the attack. In short, offside is a hasty adjustment made by Valencia. Maybe it will work at the beginning, but the game is so For a long time, they are not so adaptable and skilled, and then there will always be problems.

All Atletico Madrid needs to do is to seize the opponent's problems and find opportunities to be able to finalize the decision.

The next thing the team has to do is very simple, that is, go to the through ball more often. The more through balls, the more chances of Valencia's offside 'problem'. Even if there is only one mistake in ten times, it will become fatal. question.

As long as Atletico Madrid keeps trying, there will always be opportunities.

Atletico Madrid are not in a hurry, because they are leading and Valencia's offensive is also good, but they are not a big threat. To break Atletico Madrid's goal, it takes not only time, but also luck.

So Wan Sheng walked to the sidelines again and called Morris' name. Morris looked over here. Wan Sheng pushed forward with his right hand and stood with his left hand sideways. Morris immediately nodded to show that he understood. .

Wansheng's gesture means 'more straight plug'.

In the next game, Atletico Madrid slowly regained control of the ball and continued to fight with Valencia as before. Valencia was also very cautious. No matter how Atletico Madrid passed the ball, their defense focus was to follow the ball. go.

Atletico Madrid's three forwards, Raul Garcia, Isco, and Kevin De Bruyne, also began to run forward. Their positions are behind the forwards, and they can plug in at any time to assist, but the most critical of them is The point is Diego Costa's retreat. Diego Costa is the top player. Most of the offsides were Diego Costa before. As long as he can successfully retreat, he is likely to directly react. Offside succeeded.

Diego Costa himself has a hard time judging the best time to retreat. This time is in the hands of Morris. As long as Morris observes the best time, he sends a signal to Diego Costa, Diego Costa. - Costa would suddenly drop back and pull the position back, and the Valencia defender would pull out, after which the other players could push the ball forward.

This is an attacking routine Atlético de Madrid often trains.

When Diego Costa retreated, Valencia's defensive players followed, which was a very important step in the offense. This means that Valencia will have one less defensive player, most likely a central defender. By then, the pass will be successful. The ball-handlers are rarely confronted with cryptic defenses, and of course, they don't have to follow, so Diego Costa will be left unmarked.

Diego Costa is unmarked, which is even more terrible than the success of Atletico Madrid's through pass. He takes the ball in an unguarded dangerous position and can rely on his own ability to kick a very threatening shot. Or dribbling the ball directly to create a threat, that's what Valencia wants to see.

In short, Diego Costa is very important in the entire attacking road, but in fact, Diego Costa is also a sacrificed role. As long as he does not fall offside, other teammates can pass the ball. It is necessary to pay attention to Morris all the time during the entire attacking process, and also need to keep running to attract the attention of the opponent's defense and create opportunities for other teammates to plug in. The most important thing is actually Morris's control of the attack, so it is said that , Morris is the core player of the team. He is sharing his work with his teammates step by step, but many of them are not well done by other players, even J-Rodriguez. Morris can only continue to shoulder heavy responsibilities, hoping that his teammates can grow up slowly. (To be continued ~^~)
