Chapter 62: Savior
Bolo, born in Bilbao in northern Spain, trained at Athletic Bilbao from an early age. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After becoming a professional player, he once got the opportunity to play in La Liga at Athletic Bilbao, but his performance was not ideal, and then he moved to teams such as Osasuna and Hercules, and they also advocated a power confrontation style of play.
This allowed him to accumulate quite a lot of experience in physical confrontation.
In his first season at Rayo Vallecano, he swept the backline of all La Liga teams with his strong physical fitness, and helped Rayo Vallecano be promoted to La Liga with nine goals in 24 games.
After entering La Liga, his threat has not diminished at all, and his tactical role has been further amplified by Juan de Ramos, although the result of 10 goals in 32 games seems to have declined a little, but he is the arrowhead of the team's forward line and is crucial.
After two years of cooperation, he admires the coach Juan de Ramos very much, and the two have a tacit understanding.
The manager's adjustment on the sidelines, he immediately understood.
Isn't it just to get rid of the opposing team's central defenders?
I'm doing it!
He remembers very well that in the first leg, he teamed up with Bolic to ravage both of Atletico Madrid's central defenders, and this one will be the same!
This time it was Elias on the right who picked up the ball and landed down the middle.
Bolo kept looking up at the ball, his body moving.
When he saw the line of the incoming ball and judged where the ball would land, he rushed forward quickly.
But at this moment, suddenly the body seemed to hit a wall, oh, there was a sense of shaking when it hit the wall, but this time it didn't.
That's a mountain!
Bolo couldn't believe that he had been knocked backwards.
Who is it?
Look up at the Atletico Madrid centre-back, the number four centre-back, Millsad Ibic!
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international made a steady leap to clear Rayo Vallecano's cross.
In an instant, there was a sigh from the entire Rayo Vallecas stadium.
What a pity!
Bolo stared hatefully at the landing Ibic, he felt that he must have been caught off guard just now before he was knocked out of the way.
Again!
Soon, the ball flew over again, still in the middle.
This time, Bolo stuck the position in advance, firmly blocking Ibić behind him, and he was nine out of ten!
But just when Bolo thought he was winning, he felt a sudden surge of force behind him, which pushed him to stumble forward involuntarily, and by the time he reacted, Ibić had already jumped up again and cleared the ball with his head.
If it was said that he didn't pay attention for the first time just now, then this time, he was really knocked away!
Oh my God, is this guy a monster?
Again!
This time, the ball from left-back Mingo was a bit high, and the two of them judged the landing point at the same time, and jumped high at the same time.
But when the two of them jumped at the same time, Bolo felt that he was suppressed and couldn't jump high.
On the other hand, Ibic next to him behaved extremely violently, jumped very high, and directly shook his head with a lion to clear the ball again.
After landing, the Bosnian international turned around and retreated as if nothing happened.
Oh my god, what the hell did this guy grow up eating?
In the first round, I didn't see him behave so violently!
Did he take drugs?
"How did you do that?" asked Bolich as he approached, not without reproach.
Rayo Vallecano's tactics now are to play with the dominance of the centre-forward in the middle, steal the ball and then threaten it.
But now, Bolo can't grab the ball several times in a row, and the attack must be frustrated.
Not only that, but after Atletico Madrid cleared the siege, they began to plot a counterattack.
Ibic's header fell to Xavi Alonso, who diverted a diagonal cross to find Villa in front.
The Spaniard was really fast and had a very good technique, and after receiving the ball, he hit a counterattack directly and went straight into the penalty area.
But when the last cross was about to go to Torres, he was predicted by the goalkeeper and made a decisive attack to clear the siege.
Although he failed to score, it also made Rayo Vallecano break out in a cold sweat.
This counterattack is sharp enough!
"That guy seems to be on drugs today!" Bolo gasped for air.
He found that against Ibic, his physical energy was depleted very quickly.
"Wouldn't you?"
He is also an international player of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and he is a teammate of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, and he often competes in training, but he does not feel that Ibic's physical fitness has reached this level.
"If you don't believe it, I'll try it if you go up again!" Bolo was very upset with his teammate's tone.
The two are now teammates and partners, but they are actually a bit of a rivalry, and both want to compete for the title of the team's number one center.
Bolo hit a wall by himself, and when he heard the tone of his teammates, he naturally encouraged him to go.
Bolic also knew, but he didn't take Ibic seriously and went straight away.
"Hi Millsard. ”
"Hello, Elvi. ”
"You did a good job just now, and you actually leveled Bolo, but now, it's my turn, you be careful!"
Ibić was also quite shocked in his heart, he just obeyed the head coach's arrangement, specifically grabbed the first drop point of the opponent's side cross, and fought the opponent's center, but he didn't expect to win several times.
In terms of performance, he feels that he is the same as usual, but today he seems to be very excited, his body seems to have endless energy, his mind is very clear, he predicts the ball, how to grab the best position, how to squeeze his body with the opponent, and when to jump, he has a special feeling.
He didn't know exactly why.
But after a few battles, he also began to gain self-confidence.
Faced with the provocation of his teammates in the national team, Ibic smiled happily, "Then come on!"
He has long wanted to kill this compatriot who often ravages him in national team training!
Bolic didn't say much, he saw that his teammates were ready, and immediately took the lead, stuck the position, and carried Ibic with his body, ready to receive the pass from his teammate at any time.
He's experienced, because every time he does it, Ibic can't get rid of him.
But who knows, this time, Ibic's strength has become greater, his body has become stronger, and he has become more athletic, and when the ball flew over, under his pressure, he easily went around and carried him behind him.
Bolic was taken aback and tried to regain his position.
But no matter how he pulled, Ibic didn't move, and suppressed him behind him.
The ball arrived, but it was Ibic who grabbed the point!
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international flicked his head and the ball bounced off the front.
Rayo Vallecano plays four-four-two, with a double midfield configuration, and the front of the big penalty area is basically based on the diagonal insertion of two full-backs, or the back insertion of two midfielders.
With Juan de Ramos adjusting, Michel and Elias on the flanks, and Gbedo and Bosch before they could press up, there was a brief vacuum on the edge of the box.
Xavi Alonso is unmarked!
The ball flew in and Xavi Alonso unloaded it safely.
Up front, the two forwards, Villa and Torres, are ready to sprint.
Xavi Alonso didn't hesitate and picked up his right foot and played a long pass.
All the fans in the entire Rayo Vallecas stadium were stunned and stared at the ball in the air.
On the grass, Villa and Torres were like two sharp arrows, quickly penetrating the Rayo Vallecano defence, driving straight into the goal.
Rayo Vallecano's goalkeeper is American international Casey Keller, who has a high level of ability and quality, but has always played in the Premier League, and the two seasons of transfer to Rayo Vallecano have not been satisfactory.
Confidence is his greatest strength and the reason why he has been able to perform well in the Premier League.
But when he came to Spain, his flaws were vividly exposed.
Especially this time.
When he saw a long pass from the back of Atletico Madrid, the ball went over the backline, and the two Sheets strikers came at such a fast pace, his first reaction was to attack!
With a strong sense of self-confidence, he made a decision in an instant.
But halfway through the attack, he suddenly realized that Torres, who bore the brunt of the attack, was too fast.
But at this time, it was impossible to retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and rush again.
But after all, it was still slow.
Torres leaped high to meet the ball before he did, and a header was deflected past Kathy Keller and into the back of the net behind the American goalkeeper.
Villa quickly cut in from behind, met the ball, and easily pushed the shot!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!”
Rayo Vallekas is completely fryed!
After Villa sent the ball into the goal, the referee's whistle blew instantly, and the Spanish teenager opened his mouth wide in excitement and couldn't believe it, but soon he was hugged by Torres who flew at him.
Wow Ka Ka !!!
In the stands, Paulo Futre, Hill Jr. and Cerezo all rushed out of their seats at the same time to see Torres assist Villa's goal, looking at the pitch in disbelief and then screaming.
"I know, I know, he never disappoints, he never disappoints!"
Paul Futtre was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently!
Hill Jr. and Cerezo were also stunned to look at the Atletico Madrid players who were celebrating wildly on the pitch, and then looked at the sidelines, but the head coach Gao Han seemed to be very calm, just high-fived his assistants in celebration.
"Oh my God, it's a goal, it's finally a goal!"
From 0 to 2 to 1 to 2 now, the process is too long.
After Torres and Villa celebrated their goals with their teammates, they ran to the sidelines together and hugged head coach Gao Han.
This scene made the management triumvirate in the stands very touching.
Both of them were brought in and cultivated by Gao Han, plus Xavi Alonso and Antonio López, as well as Gabi, who is now captain of the second team, and Pablo on the bench, these players will be the future of Atletico Madrid.
When Gao Han decided to sell Pino and Cubillo and bring in Villa and Xavi Alonso, everyone thought he was crazy and unacceptable, and even almost coerced him with resignation.
But now, it's they who saved Atletico Madrid!
What about Pinault?
At Sporting Gijón, you can't play at all.
What about Cubillo?
I went to Real Sociedad and played as a substitute, and my performance was terrible.
But Villa and Xavi Alonso have become the saviors of Atletico Madrid!
These two deals, value, so much value!
"He told me that bringing in Villa would be the proudest move of me, the technical director, at Atletico Madrid!"
Paul Futrey shook his head, "I didn't believe him at all, who would believe such nonsense......?"
Looking back, what Gao Han said and did was fulfilled!
Hill Jr. and Cerezo were equally emotional.
"He's a ...... Amazing guy!"
"Who's to say it isn't?"
