Chapter 813: Is There a Mistake?
That's not going to work! ”
"You must restrain him, you must follow him, otherwise it will be too dangerous!"
"It's not a way to always follow......"
"But what else can be done? You have to keep up, at least one person to follow, try to limit him, don't let him run around! ”
After Zhen Shaolong helped Real Madrid complete the goal, Valencia immediately quarreled at the back, and they attributed the reason for conceding the goal to not always close to the defense, giving the opponent enough space to start before the opponent broke through to complete the goal.
"That's their tactic!"
"Despicable stratagem!"
Valencia summed it up and felt that Zhen Shaolong's running around was a tactic developed by Manuel Pellegrini to disrupt their backline.
This tactic is also despicable.
A player running around is not despicable, but Zhen Shaolong's running is irregular, making it difficult for them to restrict, and the key opponent is the most threatening player, and they have to devote a lot of energy to deal with it, which feels a little despicable.
Of course.
Despicable just because they can't help it.
If they were to do it with other players, they would have concluded, "This guy is sick, right?" Leave him alone! ”
That's the reality.
In fact.
Zhen Shaolong's hard running is just his own will, and it has nothing to do with Real Madrid's overall tactical play, and it is impossible for Pellegrini to formulate such chaotic tactics.
He doesn't care about any tactics at all, he just hopes to run more to increase the progress of the task, and if he has the opportunity, he will shoot on goal, in terms of the strength of the two sides, as long as the opponent involves the energy to keep an eye on him, it will definitely drag down some of the defensive energy, and for Real Madrid as a whole, the benefits will definitely be greater than the harm.
That's enough.
In the process of Zhen Shaolong's mission, he didn't want to drag down the team's game.
Others don't know about the system mission, they think Zhen Shaolong did it on purpose, Valencia thinks it's Real Madrid's tactics, and Real Madrid thinks Zhen Shaolong has become harder.
Pellegrini sees it this way, "In the last game, in this game, Zhen Shaolong has been running a lot. ”
"Most of the runs didn't work, but they did hold back the opponent's defensive energy."
"It's rare!"
"It would be nice if Zhen Shaolong could maintain this kind of effort, his running would be more regular, and the effect on the whole would be greater......"
Chileans are constantly analyzing.
Even if it's just a disorderly run on the field, the effect is very obvious.
After the game restarted, Valencia no longer dared to let Zhen Shaolong run around, and they had to continue to send people to keep an eye on them.
Sometimes it's a person.
Sometimes it's two people.
When there are defenders to defend the players, other players also constantly pay attention to the direction of Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong alone involves too much energy, and it also makes the other midfielders of Real Madrid suddenly feel less defensive pressure.
They are relaxed.
This relaxed environment also quickly translates into advantages.
In the 41st minute of the game, Gago cut into the middle to complete the shot, the football was saved by goalkeeper Moya, and Guti followed up to complete the follow-up shot, helping Real Madrid to score the second goal.
"0 to 2!"
"Real Madrid have a two-goal lead away from home!"
There was a lot of noise in the stands all around, Valencia fans were not satisfied with the team's performance, Real Madrid were indeed a strong team, but Valencia played too depressed at home.
Defense, defense is not done well.
Attack, so far there is no gain.
Valencia's players also want to play well, and defensively, their energy was dragged down by Zhen Shaolong, and it is normal for them to perform poorly.
Meantime.
Defense also takes on offensive energy.
Zhen Shaolong attracted a lot of defensive attention, which also led to frequent emergencies in Valencia's defense, and some midfielders had to retreat, and the attack could not keep up.
Valencia's midfielders are the most frustrating, they find that there are frequent holes in the back, and they have to retreat to participate in the defense, but the attacking end cannot quickly keep up.
Their retreat also led to a very much suppressed formation, with most of the attacks having to rely on counter-attacks.
"It can't go on like this!"
Valencia coach Unai Emery furrowed his brows and stared at the game on the pitch with some disappointment.
He was disappointed in himself.
Unai Emery is still a newcomer to the world of coaching and few people outside of Spain know about him.
He was born into a family of goalkeepers, but his playing career was not great, playing as a midfielder as a player, playing for Real Sociedad, Toledo, Athletic Flore, Leganes and Lorca.
In 2004, Unai Emery retired as a coach.
In just four years, Unai Emery has established himself as one of Spain's most promising coaches, leading Almeria to their first La Liga debut and putting on a spectacular 2007-08 season.
The media predicted that Almeria would be relegated in 20th place, but by April, the club had largely managed to relegate and finish the season in eighth place.
Almeria was able to succeed in their first La Liga competition, thanks to Unai Emery, who scored more than 40 per cent of his goals from set-pieces, showing that his set-piece tactics were quite good.
Unai Emery's success in coaching Almeria attracted the attention of Valencia, who accepted the offer to take the reins of Valencia.
His coaching was not a success.
Valencia finished sixth in the league last season, but with Valencia in an economic crisis, a huge change at the top and a major change in the squad, it is acceptable to finish sixth in the league.
Unai Emery is well aware that for a manager to be successful, he must continue to work miracles.
This season.
Unai Emery is aiming to lead Valencia to a top-three finish in the league and he will be aiming to keep three and fight for two, but just over the halfway point of the season, he knew it would be impossible.
Barcelona are doing too well.
Real Madrid are even better than Barcelona, and their results are so good that they don't make sense at all.
Compared with Barcelona and Real Madrid, other La Liga teams seem to exist in two worlds.
Unai Emery can only move down to third in the league, but he still hopes to do something, such as playing against back-to-back Real Madrid.
This is the last chance.
Unai Emery has studied Real Madrid in depth, developed a set of defensive methods against Zhen Shaolong, and emphasized the way to beat Real Madrid, "score more goals than Real Madrid!" ”
It is impossible to limit Zhen Shaolong, it can only be said that if he minimizes his play and takes into account the gains of attack, he will have a chance to beat Real Madrid head-on.
But.
Now Unai Emery finds that his strategy has failed.
He was disappointed.
Real Madrid is still second with a two-goal lead, and the key is that Zhen Shaolong's running is too chaotic, and the players on the field don't know what to do.
Unai Emery was frustrated that he didn't know what to do.
That's where the disappointment lies.
"Could it be that Valencia really can't beat Real Madrid with Zhen Shaolong?"
"Is it a lineup problem?"
"Maybe the squad has a lot to do with it, but no team is invincible, let alone a player."
Unai Emery pondered.
The first half was over.
Valencia failed to score, but Real Madrid also scored just two.
From this point of view, Unai Emery's tactics were also successful and did not give Real Madrid too many chances.
Unai Emery also noticed that, but he couldn't be happy because it was too difficult to equalise when he was two goals down.
Now he is competing more with himself, hoping to find a way to deal with Zhen Shaolong.
Halftime.
Unai Emery came up with a passive temporary response, "Changing the defense, constantly changing the defense, the closer ones defend first, our defense covers all positions, we don't give the opponent a chance. ”
"Also, don't follow him for a long time, let him run!"
"As long as he is far away from football, he doesn't have to follow it all the time, Real Madrid rarely passes from afar, so you have to be rational in the game, and you don't have to spend energy in vain."
Unai Emery's response is to say it in detail, telling the players how to do it rationally, instead of following it irrationally, consuming a lot of physical energy in vain, but it must be a palliative treatment, and they still have no direct restrictions.
The other side.
The atmosphere in the dressing room at Real Madrid was good, and most of them were talking about the first half.
Granero focused on touting Zhen Shaolong, "As long as Zhen keeps running, we will definitely win!" ”
"That's right!"
"Zhen's running has the greatest lethality!"
"It's hard for them to keep up!"
C-Ronaldo sat in the corner, listening to the discussion of his teammates, and was in a very uncomfortable mood, and the conflict between him and Pellegrini was already open in the team.
It's all covered in the media.
He didn't want to admit to his conflict with Pellegrini, but he knew that as long as he didn't compromise, Pellegrini wouldn't let him play.
Before, C-Ronaldo felt that Real Madrid would definitely need him, but now he found that he was thinking a little simple, Zhen Shaolong's performance was too dominant, Sevilla and Valencia could not threaten Real Madrid, and Pellegrini naturally would not compromise to let him play.
The most important thing is......
When he encountered such an embarrassing situation, Zhen Shaolong not only did not 'help' him, but tried his best to perform on the field, so positive that it made people vomit blood, which also led to Real Madrid seemingly being able to easily defeat the opponent.
And then.
Manuel Pellegrini is probably about to forget about him.
"This won't work!"
C-Ronaldo gritted his teeth, thinking about it and thinking that if he continued to persevere, he would be hurt by himself, and he would have a conflict with the manager, what good end could he have?
His goal is to be the best player!
As halftime drew to a close, C-Ronaldo finally couldn't help it, and he took a deep breath to find Pellegrini.
The two walked out of the room together.
All the players of Real Madrid are staring at the door, they know what Cristiano Ronaldo is going to do, it must be to solve the conflict with Pellegrini.
Higuain suddenly excited, "I guess Cristiano will apologize." ”
And then.
He looked at Gargo sympathetically, "Maybe you're about to go, but ...... It could also be the whole game, you score a goal and the coach won't necessarily replace you. ”
Higuain said so, and his tone was a little gloating.
Higuain and Gago have not had a good relationship lately, and they can only maintain 'superficial' friends at best, and the reason is still on Luciana.
After Higuain and Luciana broke up, he would also follow Luciana's news, and then he knew that Luciana had met Gago.
This is actually quite normal.
There are few Argentines in Madrid, Luciana and Gago can be called friends, and after breaking up with Higuain, it is very likely that they may be in a bad mood to complain to Gago or simply inquire about Higuain's current situation.
But......
Higuain can't stop thinking about it!
Gago's eyes on Luciana had been eyeing him before, and it sounded very angry when they met him after breaking up with him.
Although Gago explained that he was just meeting, he said a few words politely, and emphasized that he had seen through Luciana's plan, and the other party was deliberately meeting with him to disrupt the media's public opinion and get higher exposure and increase fame.
Think about it.
Luciana and Higuain announced their breakup, and then became close to Higuain's teammate Gago, which is full of gossip charm and will definitely be hyped by the media.
Higuain can understand, but he feels awkward in his heart.
Even if it is relatively unlikely, he will still be suspicious!
In short, Higuain taunted Gago when he had the opportunity, and Gago thought that he was very generous and ignored him.
Finally.
Pellegrini and C-Ronaldo finished talking and returned to the dressing room, and everyone clearly noticed the joy on C-Ronaldo's face.
The second half came.
The players from both sides returned to the pitch and the referee's whistle announced the start of the game.
Valencia stepped up in the second half and were clearly looking to get the job done, and if they could score a goal, things would have changed and they would have had hope of an equaliser.
Real Madrid was a little flustered, probably because they didn't expect the other party to attack so fiercely.
In the 49th minute, Valencia reached the edge of the penalty area with a wave of attack, and Ramos fouled the opponent for the ball.
David Silva almost broke Casillas' 10-finger mark with a direct free-kick.
Five minutes later.
Valencia came in and played a beautiful game down the flank, with David Villa running quickly and firing a straight shot from the edge of the box into the far corner.
1 to 2!
Valencia recovers a goal!
"The ball went in—"
“Goooooooooooooooal! Villa! Villa! Villa! Villa ......"
The match commentator shouted a lot of Villa in a row, and also expressed his inner excitement, everyone felt that Valencia had little chance, but Villa helped Valencia regain hope.
Sidelines.
Pellegrini watched Valencia's celebrations, took a deep breath and decided to make a substitution.
C-Ronaldo, above.
Higuain, down.
Higuain, who was walking back, almost vomited blood when he saw the number of the substitution, and he asked Zhen Shaolong next to him, "Is there a mistake?" How could it be me? ”
Zhen Shaolong nodded definitely, "It should be a mistake." You can go over and give a reminder. ”
"Yes!"
Higuain nodded solemnly and ran over.
C-Ronaldo gave him a big hug with joy.
