Chapter 36: Isco and New Aguero

Isco, whose full name is Francisco-Romain-Aracon-Suarez, was born in April and has just turned 18 this year.

In the summer, Atlético de Madrid struggled with Valencia and Málaga in order to win the Valencia talent.

But Wansheng didn't care at all.

Just like the current game with Valencia, without Isco, the two teams are still rivals, and Valencia will still try their best to defeat Atletico Madrid at home.

Therefore, there is nothing pleasant or unpleasant among competitors.

Importantly, Atletico Madrid got Isco.

Wansheng still attaches great importance to Isco. Isco is young, but he is quite stable and technically excellent. In the previous three rounds of the league, Isco only played against Athletic Bilbao. , came off the bench once, and the performance was nothing special to say, but nothing went wrong.

In this game against Valencia, Wansheng gave Isco the opportunity to start the game, because Isco was a player of the Valencia youth team before, and the game can be regarded as Isco against his old club.

Isco was also excited.

Isco was in the Valencia youth team before and has not participated in a game on behalf of the Valencia first team. That is to say, this is the first time Isco has played in La Liga as a starter.

Isco is still looking forward to the game, because Atletico Madrid's opponent is Valencia.

Before the game, Isco had thought about it a lot, but Wansheng reminded before the game, "Don't strive for any good performance. For you, the most important thing is not to make mistakes..."

Isco remembered this sentence.

Isco still respects Wansheng very much, just like other young people in Europe. Isco is very clear that this young Chinese coach has his own way of training players, so his reminder is also very good. Importantly, he soon understood the reason. For young players with little experience, the biggest purpose of entering the top league is to absorb experience so that they know how to play. They want to perform too much, but instead Mistakes are easy to make.

Therefore, Isco's mentality is still very stable, and he also hopes that he can have a stable performance.

From the beginning of the game to the present, Isco's performance has been quite calm. He has no special contribution in attack, but he has done a very good defense and did not make any mistakes.

He is also satisfied with his performance.

Atlético de Madrid is a 4231 formation, with Isco and Asuncao partnering with a double midfielder.

Although the lineup is a 'double midfielder', in Atlético de Madrid's 'B-TF' system, the player's sense of position is very weakened, and there is not much difference between the midfielder and the midfielder, especially in terms of offense, the midfielder can also run. Look for opportunities before reaching the penalty area.

This is the running system Wansheng has developed for the team.

The position of the players is not fixed, but the movement of the players will also affect the whole. For example, Isco will move forward, and Assun will pull back a little to ensure the stability of the team's overall formation in the third line.

Isco has been working hard to ensure that he does not make mistakes, and soon he adapted to the game and gradually his performance became more stable.

Isco and Asunsang have two midfielders. The positions of the two are similar. Asunsang is still an old teammate, but Isco has made a greater contribution than Asunsang in defense.

As an 18-year-old teenager, Wansheng is already quite satisfied with such a stable performance.

However, genius always shines!

When Isco got used to the game, he also gradually began to contribute to the team's offense.

Atlético de Madrid attacked several times in a row, and Isco participated in it. Although it was just a pass or an auxiliary run, the increase in the number of steps forward was also a growth.

Asunsang saw that Isco often came forward, so he simply pulled behind.

Both of them are defensive midfielders, so they definitely can't go forward together. Asongsang is an old member of the team. He is over 30 years old and doesn't need to fight for anything, so he doesn't care if he can give young people more opportunities. , especially he knows that this kid from the Valencia youth army is valued by the new coach.

So Isco plugged in more often.

However, compared to Maurice, Ozil, Raul Garcia and the most obvious Diego Costa in the frontcourt, Isco's performance is still very bleak. He is not so famous, and he is mostly only attacking Plays a 'passing' role, so many people don't pay attention to Isco, and only the Valencia media who 'hate' Atletico Madrid for taking their 'new talent' will pay special attention to Isco, but At most, they would say, "Isco started, but he hasn't done much so far..."

But for many young players, no performance is actually the best performance, because they have become a qualified member on the court.

It was under such circumstances that Isco found an opportunity.

Valencia's defense is very tight, they are still a counter-attacking team, when they drop back, they perform well, or it can be said that when they are suppressed by Atletico Madrid, their performance has turned out to be better. .

Atlético de Madrid also had a headache in the face of Valencia's strict defense.

Several frontcourt players were marked one by one, and it was difficult for Atletico Madrid to find opportunities near the penalty area. They could only pass the ball to drive Valencia’s defense to find good opportunities.

Then Isco plugged in.

Valencia didn't pay much attention to him. For ordinary players who are 'not a big threat', they just defend normally. As long as the player is not in a dangerous position, they will mainly use a fixed formation and will not send special people to mark.

Isco was treated like this, which made him a lot easier.

Then he received a pass from Ozil and distributed the ball to Raul Garcia on the other side.

Raul Garcia was entangled by Joaquin, poked the ball out and handed it to Isco again.

Isco glanced left and right. He wanted to pass the ball out, but there was no good position. Diego Costa and Maurice were both marked, and Ozil was a little far away from him. Do you want to pass back?

Isco thought.

At this time, Valencia midfielder Banega forced over.

————

Banega is an Argentine player from Boca Juniors. After Christmas in 2008, he landed in La Liga to join Valencia. At that time, Banega's transfer fee reached a high price of 18 million euros.

Banega signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the "Bat Legion".

During his two-and-a-half seasons at Valencia, Banega has become familiar with everything about the team, and of course he has seen Isco in the youth team.

The club's talents were poached, and there was a lot of uproar in the summer, but in fact, the Valencia first-team players who "know the inside story" didn't care at all, because they all knew that Isco was not a real talent.

"If Isco is really talented, why can't he get into the Valencia first team?"

That's the key.

Valencia does not value Isco, but because of Atlético de Madrid, Isco was hyped as a genius, but in fact, even if he continues to stay in Valencia, he will not be reused.

Going from the youth team to other teams is the choice of many professional players. Isco is just one of them, and it is not a big deal at all.

Banega, like other Valencia players, doesn't think Isco is really talented, the news is just hype.

So now in the game against Isco, Banega seems confident.

Banega didn't want to steal the ball directly, but just wanted to force Isco to pass the ball. Valencia's defense is very tight. As long as Isco passes the ball, his defensive task is completed.

With that in mind, Banega pasted towards Isco, who kept swinging back and forth with his ‘rich experience’, as if trying to grab the ball to put pressure on Isco.

Many young players who have just played for the team will be very nervous. Banega believes that as long as he presses like this, it is enough for the boy in front of him to feel nervous and choose to pass the ball.

At this moment, no one cared about the collision between the two at all, and almost everyone thought that Isco would definitely pass the ball.

So Valencia players, pay more attention to the defense of other Atletico Madrid players.

But Isco did not choose to pass the ball!

Isco made another unexpected move - he stabbed the ball with his toes!

Banega was stunned!

The next moment he saw the football pass between his legs, and then the young boy in front of him rushed over from one side.

"Being over? Wearing a crotch?"

Banega was stunned in disbelief for a moment, enough for Isco to successfully jump over him.

"Dangerous! Isco! He shook Banega!"

The commentator at the Mestalla Stadium, apparently familiar with Isco, called out Isco's name and then gave a nervous exclamation.

Banega had already reacted, but it was too late to turn around.

Isco successfully jumped over Banega and dribbled the ball to the edge of the box.

Valencia is aware of the danger!

David Navarro immediately gave up his defense of Diego Costa and rushed towards Isco, but he had no idea that Isco would be so decisive.

Just as David Navarro ran over, Isco chose to pass the ball, and he pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area with his right foot.

The football rushed past David Navarro and rolled directly in front of Diego Costa!

"Danger!"

The on-site commentator was useless to signal the danger. In the face of such a good opportunity, Diego Costa made a volley to the ball.

Without giving goalkeeper Cesar any time to react, the ball flew into the goal against the left post.

“Goooooooooal!!!”

"Goal scored! 2-0, Diego Costa! Atlético de Madrid leads the home team Valencia by two goals away!"

"Isco's perfect performance allowed his teammates to find opportunities, and Diego Costa, the striker that Atletico Madrid bought back in the summer for 6 million euros, is simply the new Aguero... No, he is better than Aguero. Guerro is even better..."
