Chapter 440: Don't Attack

Although Valencia was reluctant, on the field, the majesty of the referee was the greatest, and they could only reluctantly accept the result. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Benitez also showed some anger on the sidelines just now, although he saw that Sneijder's goal was not offside, but he still had to put pressure on the entire referee team in his own way, which was a common trick.

However, after the game restarted, Benitez did not let the team strengthen the attack, he studied Notts County very deeply, usually Notts County's first goal can open their goal account, use the momentum after the goal to destroy the opponent, if the opponent is eager to attack and equalize at this time, then it will definitely be beaten by Notts County, scoring one after another.

Therefore, his instructions to the players should still be to stabilize the defense, pay more attention to the defensive intensity of the midfield, and only need to wear away the momentum of Notts County before they can consider counterattacking.

However, Benitez was still very worried at this time, and he was not worried about conceding the goal, what he was worried about was that Baraja received a yellow card because of his lack of calmness.

All along, Valencia has two time bombs in the team, which can explode at any time, one is the central defender Marchena, this is a mallet, although the defensive ability is excellent, but always reckless, maybe when he can cause some trouble in the backline, and the other is the defensive core Baraha, this reckless man is a powder keg, one point will explode, as if just now, obviously there is nothing to do with him, he actually took the initiative to apply for a yellow card, isn't this full of support!

It's only been a long time since the game started, and Baraja's defensive ability may not be able to play in general, and the best thing to do now is to let Albelda share most of the defensive pressure, while Baraja focuses on attack, so that the impact of Baraja's yellow card can be minimized.

Sure enough, not out of his expectations, Notts County's offensive after the goal became more violent, like a storm, even if Valencia's defensive ability is the best in the whole of Europe, but it still feels like the trench coat in front of the goal is fluttering, as if it can be destroyed at any time.

Stubbornly repelled the onslaught of Notts County, the Valencia players felt that their physical strength was exhausted by this moment of hard work, and the huge mental pressure was definitely something they could not normally feel.

And at this time, they are also rejoicing, fortunately Benitez emphasized this stage of the defense, otherwise they would have attacked stupidly, and at this time the goal did not know how many holes would be poked.

In the ensuing period, the two teams were back in midfield and with Notts County clearly dropping back a short distance from both lines, it was as if a spring was accumulating power when they were already ahead, and once Valencia put more effort into attacking, it would be easier for them to catch the holes in the Bats' back.

In fact, Benitez's strategy in this game is to use the team's proudest defense to strangle Notts County's attack throughout the field, and he is confident that he can stifle Notts County's attack, and once the game is dragged into a penalty shootout, then Valencia has a chance to win.

In fact, he is well aware that Notts County are no worse defensively than Valencia, and their attack is much stronger, and their only way to win is on penalties.

But what he never expected was that the team was just a tentative attack, and the old Notts County seized the hole to score, which means that Valencia has lost its strategic meaning in this game.

Even if Valencia attacks aggressively in order to equalize or even overtake the score, not to mention whether it can score or not, after all, Notts County's defense is not vegetarian, and Valencia's own back line will inevitably have gaps and holes, wouldn't it give Notts County more opportunities?

This in itself is a very contradictory thing!

But it's too late to say anything now, it's them who are behind in the score, there is no essential difference between losing one and losing a few, if you want to win, there is only one way to attack.

Seeing that the game had entered a scorching state, Benitez began to arrange his troops to create an offensive.

Loew is very willing to see this, the two sides in the midfield hard fight is not in the interests of Notts County, now Notts County lead the score, any other way, it is more efficient than a desperate midfield.

As soon as the Bat Legion's offensive posture changed, Notts County immediately changed with it, and the three fronts retreated a little again, which was their favorite way to control the space more effectively and leave enough space for the fast attack.

Because the team's most creative attacking midfielder Aimar did not play, although Valencia's attack was huge, but the attack that could really hit the Notts County goal was not there except for crosses, and more often relied on Baraja and Albelda's long-range shots to threaten the Notts County goal, which did not hurt much.

Once Notts County launches a counterattack after breaking the ball, it can directly make Valencia's defense busy, you know, Notts County is not a simple counterattack, their investment in the fast attack can even reach 5-6 players, even if the first wave of counterattack fails, it is likely to take advantage of the numerical advantage to form a second wave of offensive.

This period of time was the most difficult time for Valencia, the offense could not open the situation, the defense was still leaking everywhere, and the most important thing was that the score behind made them extremely anxious.

This state of affairs continued until the end of the first half, and Notts County patiently played around with Valencia, and when everyone thought that the first half would end like this, no one expected that there would be an accident at this time.

Starting left wing-back Leyton Baines' pass was miraculous to Valencia's Angullo, who had been sleepwalking on the pitch throughout the first half, and he didn't expect the ball to suddenly reach his feet, and after a slight adjustment, he found that the Notts County player had pressed over and quickly hit the ball into the box.

The trajectory of the ball was a bit high, no one touched the ball at the front point, Westman jumped high at the back point, but did not exert power under Vicente's small movements, and wanted to clear the ball with a header, but in the end he accidentally pushed the ball into the penalty area.

David slammed up from the coach's seat, as if he had a premonition of what was going on.

It can't be so weird, right?

Valencia striker Mista received the ball unmarked, and in an instant it became a one-on-one momentum, and the eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on Mista and Diego López.

Don't attack!

David secretly shouted in his heart. (To be continued.) )
