Chapter 245: Clément-Goool! (3rd Update: Commuter Pass)
"Vicente is injured again, he's really vitreous now." John. Andrews lamented, also regretting Vicente.
Back then, Vicente was a famous 'left-sided celestial' in football, especially in the 2003/2004 season, when Vicente was definitely the mainstay of the Bat Army.
With 12 goals and two assists in 33 appearances in 38 league games, the team's top scorer is second only to centre-forward Mista, who scored 19 goals, and a landmark long-distance run helped the team seal the La Liga title at the Estadio Pizjuán two games ahead of schedule.
In the final of the UEFA Cup, he played against Marseille with Drogba and Butters in Gothenburg, Sweden, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist, leading the team to the top of Europe. It can be said that it was with Vicente's excellent performance that Valencia finally won the La Liga title and the UEFA Cup double that season.
In terms of personal honors, with his amazing performance throughout the season, Vicente was undoubtedly awarded the title of the best player in La Liga that season.
Even Cruyff, the godfather of Dutch football, who has always been discerning, bluntly said: In the 2003/2004 season of La Liga, only Vicente and Ronaldo can be called the brightest stars.
However, the Spanish left-winged angel of Valencia suddenly folded its wings at the most shining moment.
On September 29, 2004, Valencia played Bremen away in the Champions League group stage, and the game went to the 79th minute, just like today's game, it was also in an ordinary side confrontation, Vicente sprained his ankle and was substituted, and Valencia also lost 1:2.
This seemingly ordinary injury is like opening a Pandora's box belonging to Vicente, and it lingers for a long time. Vicente's injury seems to have become a habit, and he only made 69 league appearances for the Bats in four years, although there were occasional bright performances, but in the end they were not the same as the "left-sided genius" of the 2003/2004 season.
……
Ronald. Koeman, grim-looking on the sidelines, motioned for Arizmendi to warm up.
It was unfortunate that a player was injured in less than a minute into the game.
Coman rubbed his cheeks, a little irritable in his heart, he had a bad premonition, which made him even more irritable, shook his head, and drove away this ridiculous premonition: with Valencia's strength, as long as it plays normally, it is not a problem to win this La Liga team, these little accidents are nothing.
Arizmendi is still warming up, so now Valencia can only face one man less.
Valencia's free-kick, Banega stood at the penalty spot, ready to take the free-kick.
The whole Ibiza team, except for Mata, remained in front of the field, and almost all of them retreated to defend the free-kick.
Clement was keeping an eye on Joaquin, but his mind was on the pre-match conversation with the coach.
"Remember my first game in charge of Ibiza?" Fang Jue asked Clement.
Clement's head, how could he not remember, that game was a turning point for Ibiza's season, the beginning of a magical comeback season, and a new life for him Clement.
"You have a lot of work to do today, and I hope you can show the performance and fighting spirit of that game." Fang Jue patted Clement on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The team needs your wonderful performance!" ”
Now, Clement still feels enthusiastic when he thinks of what the coach said, this is the coach's trust in him, the coach means that while letting him do a good job defensively, he must also strive to contribute to the team on the offensive end, and even strive to score goals, which makes him feel deeply responsible.
Clement first glanced at Joaquin, the object he was defending, and then his gaze crossed the center circle and looked straight at Valencia's goal, Valencia's free kick attack opportunity was also pressed hard, there were only two defenders at the back, in addition, their goalkeeper Hildebrand also looked a little relaxed, some away from the goal, and stood near the big penalty line.
At this moment, the coach's bench on the sidelines, Fang Jue also had a serious expression, the biggest pressure on the team in this game is the defense of the midfield, or to put it more bluntly, Clement's defensive task today is very heavy, so he specially found Clement before the game to cheer for this favorite general, it looks good, Clement is the kind of player who is easy to play chicken blood, and if he is excited, he will increase his combat power by 30%.
……
Banega's free-kick flew into the box.
French centre-back Koscielny jumped up and scrambled to push the ball out before Villa.
Then, Alba faced the direction of the goal and came to a barb to clear, however, the football was not kicked far, Joaquin ran over to get the ball, he attracted Clement's attention, and made a gesture to go down, but it was David who came to pick up the ball. Silva.
Clement immediately pounced on David. Silva, meanwhile, Pjanic went to fill his place to mark Joaquin.
Clement on the side to David. Silva exerted some pressure, his movements were fast, Silva who had just received the football did not expect the back of this La Liga team to be so fast, he stumbled under his feet and lost the ball!
"Break the ball beautifully!"
Cheers and applause from the fans dedicated to Ibiza rang out from the stands.
Ibiza fans like Clement very much, not only because Clement is his own person who has been cultivated by the Ibiza Academy, this player is very simple, there is nothing to say about the attitude of the game, he is very hardworking, and everyone knows that Clement is the most obedient player to Fang Jue, this is his own person among his own people.
In addition, there is also the fact that Clement has improved a lot in the past two seasons, and he was originally just a player with a very average talent, stumbling on the bench in the second division B, but, look at the present, the diligent Clement is the main defender of the leading team in the second division, he is the most indispensable moment in Ibiza's midfield, and the importance is even comparable to that of the team's captain Deisler, such a late-blooming inspirational player, how can fans not like it?
After Clemente broke the ball, he looked ahead, at Valencia's goal, and he felt the urge to drop the goal.
"White, here!" Pjanic shouted.
"Huh." Clement, who was still about to move just now, did not hesitate at all, and immediately passed the football over, he knew what his best job was.
……
Pjanic received the ball and knocked the ball forward, Maduro came to intercept, and at this time, Pjanic passed the ball and flew directly to Reus!
Maduro pounced on Reuss again.
Reus reached out and volleyed the ball to Pjanic, who came to pick it up, and Maduro pounced on Pjanic.
Pjanic crosses the ball diagonally and Juan Mata takes the ball.
Maduro pounced on Mata again.
He's so angry now, he feels like a monkey, being played around by the Ibiza, and what makes him angry the most is that the rest of his teammates don't come to help with the scramble, they're all cutting forward, and they seem to be waiting for him to launch a second attack after he breaks the ball?
Damn!
These guys think that if they have the name of 'Dutch Vieira', they are really Vieira?
Juan Mata dribbles forward.
Finally another Valencia player came to intercept and Canela came up to defend Mata.
Juaquín came up to defend with Juasler and with his back to goal, he passed the ball from between Joaquín's legs to Reus, who was moving closer to the middle.
Banega finally stopped watching the show, and he rushed up to defend Royce.
Reuss then knocked the ball across to Pjanic.
Maduro breathed a sigh of relief, finally relenting and pounced on Pjanic again.
Pjanic poked the ball on his toe and passed the ball to Deisler, who was retreating.
By this time, Ibiza had advanced to an area of about thirty meters from Valencia's goal.
……
For a while, Ibiza's players made such continuous inverted passes outside Valencia's penalty area, and Valencia's players couldn't even touch the ball.
This is a great shame for Valencia, who were La Liga champions a few seasons ago.
There was a huge boo from the Valencia fans in the stands.
The Ibiza fans were excited, the whole team was in good shape today, and the most intense thing for them was the confidence of the boys.
Valencia's goalkeeper Hildebrand watched the Ibiza man kick back and forth outside the penalty area, he was nervous, he kept staring with wide eyes, just watching the football pass from here to there, back and forth, he was a little dizzy.
"Press out! Advance the line of defense and press it out! Hildebrand shouted, "Broken ball! ”
The goalkeeper's instinct tells him that it is really dangerous to let the opponent just keep reversing the ball, because you can't predict when the opponent will suddenly attack, or how to start the attack, is it passing, straight stopping? Diagonal plugs? Or is it a sudden acceleration? Or is it a sudden long-range shot?
This is a lot of psychological pressure on the goalkeeper.
Whoever could break the ball and kick it out of the danger zone.
Clement dragged behind Ibiza's attacking group and was in charge of the most important line of defense before the team's backline.
At this moment, Clement looked at the smooth passing of his teammates, and his heart was itchy, and he also wanted to participate, but he knew that his skills and passing creativity and vision could not be compared with Deisler and Mata, and he had a clear understanding of himself.
He was always on his toes because if Ibiza made a mistake in his pass or was cut off, Valencia would launch a counter-attack, and all Clement had to do was to organize the defence as soon as possible and provide a defensive barrier for the backline.
What itched in his heart was that he was also dizzy from behind, and what he was thinking at this time was that he went up and kicked it like that, and then scored, and everything was quiet and perfect.
Of course, it's just an imagination.
Just as he was so eager to kick the hanging door at a long distance, he just thought about it.
At this time, Clement was ashamed of his lack of ability, he knew that the coach expected a lot from him, expecting him to become a player who could both attack and defend, but he did a decent job defensively, and the offensive end was really not good.
……
At this moment, Alaba's assist came forward, and Mata made a gesture to pass the ball to Alaba, but suddenly picked the ball into the box.
Lewandowski picked up Valencia veteran Elgra and completed a difficult half-turn volley against the falling football.
Hildebrand, who had long been vigilant, got down on his knees and struck the football out with a movement similar to playing volleyball.
Deisler got ahead of Banega and gave the ball to Mata, who knocked it out to Pjanic.
"Clement!" Pjanic passed the football to Clement behind him, and he ran forward himself, shouting Clement's name at the same time, which meant that he was going to hit a wall-hitting match.
Then, Pjanic, who had just picked up his gear, saw the ball fly over his head.
"Is this a big deal?" Pjanic's first reaction was this.
Wrong!
Seeing that the ball speed was very fast, and an arc flew directly in the direction of the goal, Pjanic was stunned, this is a shot?
"Who told you to shoot?" Pjanic muttered unpleasantly, but of course, he only muttered quietly.
Clement is not good at shooting This is recognized in the team, Pjanic didn't know that when he was in the La B League, when it was the coach Fang Jue's coaching debut, Clement even had two goals, of course, even the veterans who have experienced the La B League in the team are no longer because of that brace and think that Clement is good at shooting, and since then for more than a year, Clement has not scored again, although it is also related to Clement's main defensive work, but, Everyone can also see that this guy really took shit luck that time.
Pjanic's eyes widened then as he saw the ball in a beautiful arc in the air, perfectly bypassing the attacking and defending players in the box, and finally, bypassing the hands of Valencia goalkeeper Hildebrand, almost against the inside of the post, and slamming into the net.
This is......
Scored? …… Hoo!
……
The huge Bernabeu Stadium was quiet at this moment, and then there were huge cheers and noises that exploded! In the midst of the frantic roar of the GOL, Clement stood still, stunned, as if he was also stunned by his own shocking long-range shot.
Then he began to run, run.
He rushed to the dugout, and he wanted to thank the coach.
However, halfway through the run, Clement made a sudden turn and ran past the coach who seemed to be ready to hug him, and then continued to run, running to the camera lens on the sidelines, and the excited man yelled at the camera, "Lilika, dad scored, dad scored, did you see that?" ”
Lilica is his precious daughter.
