20 June 2009, afternoon, Valencia City Stadium.

Levante, who was relegated from La Liga last year, was supposed to be the favourites in La Liga, but as the season draws to a close, the team is currently ranked ninth in La Liga, and has lost hope of reaching La Liga.

But this did not prevent Levante from sniping at China City on his home turf.

It was a match that attracted the attention of fans all over Spain and around the world, attracting more than 1,000 media reporters to gather at the Valencia City Stadium, and nearly 20,000 fans to buy tickets to enter the stadium.

Everyone has only one purpose, to witness the Chinese city team make history.

Gao Han was still very low-key in the chairman's stand at the Valencia City Stadium, but the media and live TV cameras were still keen to find him out of the crowd.

Sitting around him, in addition to his beautiful and touching wife Lin Xia, Armando Marcos, the general manager of the China City team, Carlos Cantarero, the technical director, Jorge Mendez, the famous agent, and Javier Matayana, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Marca newspaper......

In addition to them, even the famous Atletico Madrid stars Torres, Villa, David Silva, Xavi Alonso and Ramos, who were supposed to be on vacation, gathered around Gao Han at this moment, which made all the Levante fans who came to the scene very excited, it was a surprise.

But on the pitch, Levante wasn't as kind as their fans.

The team's offense and defense are relatively mediocre, but the whole team is very balanced, very integral, which has brought a lot of trouble to the attack of the China City team, and in this game they also discharged a 451 formation, containing the visiting team's midfield, making the China City team play very uncomfortable.

In the 28th minute, a counterattack, the forward center forward Sisco headed the ball, and the midfielder Iborra, who is 1.90 meters tall, inserted a header to score the goal, opening the scoring for Levante and breaking the deadlock on the field.

This made the China City team on the pitch look very nervous, and began to launch a crazy counterattack, but with little effect.

As a veteran, Marcos Senna stabilized the team's position at the critical moment, pulled the wild horse of the China City team to death, and warned all teammates that they must not lose their cool in the game, and the more critical the moment, the more calm they must be.

After that, the two sides played a stalemate, with China City pressing down on their opponents but failing to create good scoring opportunities.

"At this time, the most important thing is to stay patient, not to rush, not to mess up. ”

Gao Han sat in the stands, looked at the situation on the field, and said calmly.

Judging from the overall performance, although the Chinese city team is young, it is not inferior in strength in the face of Levante, and even under the tutelage of Pochettino, relying on the overall technical and tactical play, there is a faint tendency to overwhelm the opponent.

In this case, the more detrimental it will be to Levante as the physical energy is consumed.

Therefore, at this moment, the biggest enemy for the China City team is not the opponent on the opposite side of the field, but themselves.

"Marcos, as a midfielder and a veteran in the team, is very calm and plays a very key role. ”

As one of the world's top midfielders and a long-time teammate of Marcos Senna, Xavi Alonso agrees with Marcos Senna's performance, especially after switching to the back, organizing the Chinese City team's midfield in an orderly manner and defending solidly.

It can be said that in the Chinese city team, Marcos Senna can be called the heart of the midfield, and his role is greater than when he was at Atletico Madrid.

The likes of Fernando Torres and Villa are all very much in agreement, and they are all very clear about the quality of Marcos Senna.

'That Falcao was also very good, running out of gear almost every time he was running. 'Villa is very clever and a world-class scorer, so you can see at a glance that Falcao is a good player.

'Boss, if this team had been a little bit more capable of creating chances, the striker would have scored more goals. ”

Torres also nodded repeatedly, "From the beginning to the present, there have been at least three very good chances to run, but there are no teammates to pass the ball to him, which has to be said to be a big pity." ”

Both of the world's top scorers praised Falcao, but Ramos, a youngster on the side, was eager to give it a try.

"Boss, when you get promoted to La Liga, see how I teach him. After saying that, the Spanish international central defender opened his mouth and laughed out loud.

Gao Han agrees with the judgment of several players, and he also knows that the Chinese City team has indeed suppressed Falcao's goal momentum now, and a big reason is the lack of passing ability in the midfield.

Schneiderlin and Ramirez are not creative midfielders, with Marcos Senna playing both offensively and defensively but being responsible for the playmaking process, which makes it difficult for the team's entire midfield to get the ball up front.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is very fast, Diego Costa can run and Falcao can shoot, and in this case, the team's attack will rely more on the two wings Carvajal and Alba to provide assists from behind.

However, in this game, Levante put pressure on the wings, forcing the China City team to not be able to threaten.

"It doesn't matter, watch slowly, the game is not over, it's hard to say who wins and who loses. ”

Hearing Gao Han's unfathomable words, everyone around them was a little surprised, because they had very few or even watched the games of the China City team.

Only Matayana, who was familiar with Gao Han and the China City team, nodded thoughtfully, vaguely guessing what Gao Han meant.

…………

…………

The first half ended at 1-0 and Levante went into the break with a one-goal lead.

Everyone close to China City is clearly feeling a little nervous, because this score does not guarantee the promotion of China City in any way, they need to score, more goals.

But after the rematch in the second half, Pochettino didn't seem to have any intention of substitution, still in a four-three-three formation, still the same style of play in the first half, which had already been thoroughly understood by the opponent.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

"How did Pochettino do it, it should be replaced. ”

"yes, it's been sixty minutes, and if you don't change people, it's too late. ”

"What the hell does he think?"

Away from the football field, the players have transformed and taken on the role of head coach to think about problems.

Gao Han smiled on the side, "It's not time yet." ”

"Not then?"

"When's that going to be, boss?"

Xavi Alonso thought for a moment, "Perhaps, it's waiting for the other party's physical exhaustion to be about the same, but are you sure?"

Gao Han gave an appreciative look at Xavi Alonso, the Spanish midfielder who is a bit like Pep Guardiola, a good thinker and would certainly be a good manager if he transforms in the future.

But this time Gao Han didn't answer his question, but asked with a smile: "Harvey, the one you introduced to me before said that he was a young general who is very similar to you, when will the materials be given to me?"

Xavi Alonso saw that he deliberately sold off, and was a little helpless, "That's what my dad told me, I watched him play a game, and I'll send you a copy later." ”

After Gao Han nodded, he asked urgingly, "Boss, are you really sure?"

Gao Han smiled, "There is no absolute certainty on the football field, but sometimes, it is necessary to see the situation and exert force." ”

While everyone was still chewing on Gao Han's words, Pochettino finally made a substitution.

In the 70th minute, the Chinese City team replaced midfielder Schneiderlin and replaced a teenager Mkhitaryan.

The player came on in a more forward position, in the midfield area in the middle of the pitch, while Ramirez dropped back to form a double midfield with Marcos Senna, making the formation look a bit like a 4231 style of play.

And Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Diego Costa are also wide open.

After the restart, China City played significantly more aggressively, especially in the front court, Mkhitaryan became the heart of the team's attack, and frequently got the opportunity to get the ball, but he still seemed to be familiar with the rhythm of the game, and there were a few mistakes, but it was not difficult to see his excellent footwork from a few movements.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that Mkhitaryan came to the fore.

After dropping back to receive Marcos Senna's pass, Diego Costa cut from the right to the middle, but the full-back who defended him stuck to him without giving an inch, so that Diego Costa had no chance to receive the ball and had to pass back to Mkhitaryan who ran out of space to the right in the first place.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mkhitaryan received the ball, he made a direct pass with his right foot, which accurately passed past the opponent's defender and passed directly to the upper right corner of the penalty area, while Carvajal was fighting with the opponent's defender to speed and chase the ball first, stabbing directly to the bottom line, and then catching up with a low flat ball cross.

In the box, Falcao cut in decisively and swept the ball into the goal.

It was a brilliant goal in the blink of an eye, and by the time the fans at the Valencia City Stadium realised it, the ball was in the net.

Gao Han and the others were very excited in the stands, got up from their seats, and applauded non-stop.

"Who's just coming off the bench, this kick is too good. ”

"Isn't it? The pass was just right, just enough for a team-mate to receive the ball and easily cross the ball. ”

"Oh my God, this kind of passing is so high quality, I'm afraid only David can pass it. ”

David Silva was also full of exclamation, "With three players in between, I may not be able to do it. ”

You know, he is considered the best passing midfielder in Atletico Madrid.

On the pitch, after the China City team equalized, Levante began to press on the counterattack, as if intending to suppress the visiting team, but the China City team retreated to the middle line and was heavily defended.

Less than five minutes after the last goal, Levante launched an attack to try to get the ball behind the China City defence, but Alderweireld headed it over the halfway line and landed at Mkhitaryan's feet in the centre circle.

I saw the midfielder pick up the incoming ball, pick the ball past the defender behind him, turn around and quickly start to catch up, drive all the way with the ball, and enter Levante's penalty area, attract the attention of the defender, and pick the back point.

Falcao then cut in, leaped towards the ball, and once again headed the ball into Levante's goal.

Two to one!

In just five minutes, two goals were scored in a row, and the Chinese City team played an offensive spirit.

And after coming on the field, Mkhitaryan, who completely changed the situation on the field and directed two goals by himself, undoubtedly became the most high-profile focus of the game, especially in the eyes of Atletico Madrid stars.

"This guy is a genius. ”

"Oh my god, where did he come from?"

"Boss, he's your Chinatown team's secret weapon?"

"It's great, his sudden appearance caught Levante off guard, and his own strength is fierce enough, he should play the main force. ”

After Gao Han heard this, he was also very pleased.

Whether it is 4231 or 433, one heavy attack, the other heavy defense, Pochettino has always hesitated.

But from this game, after Mkhitaryan came off the bench at a critical moment, this almost open performance is expected to help Pochettino make a decision.

Just don't know how the other games of this round will turn out?
