When Dick led the whole Atletico team to the Mestalla Stadium, they were also despised by the Valencia fans. [No pop-ups. 】

Dick is indeed a not very likable person, he has completely offended Barcelona from the beginning, and because the players who lead Atletico Madrid also have a very average relationship with Real Madrid, even against Valencia...... He didn't make a good impression on the other side, at least he had beaten Valencia twice in a row, and after the win, he didn't want to compliment the other party at all, but was complacent, which naturally made Valencia fans quite unaccustomed to him......

So when Dick appeared inside the Mestalla stadium, the Valencia fans in the stands immediately booed Dick.

"Haha, Dick is really an unpopular persona, but that's normal, his style of acting is a bit extreme, and it's easy to offend most people, but for the fans of the team he coaches, they will like him even more because of it......"

"I don't think he cares about that...... You see, he gestured to the stands again, and the louder the boos, the more energetic he became. Actually, personally, I appreciate a manager with this kind of character, but now there are fewer and fewer such coaches, full of energy, there is never a shortage of news, and I think even if the sports media reporters don't like him, they have to thank him for always bringing some news. ”

"That's right, with such a guy, La Liga is also a little more energetic! Haha, but he's really a mad dog, did you listen to what he said in an interview a few days ago? 'Barcelona is back in fourth place? In Chinese terms, it is the New Year, and even the poorest people will have a little good food to eat. Barcelona are starting to rot to the bone, and even replacing Louis van Gaal can't avoid this. I dare to say that Barcelona will probably be difficult to enter the top four this season, does anyone dare to bet on me? I wouldn't mind having a few more people eat up a microphone. ’”

"It's really a guy who offends him, and he never lets go of the other party...... This kind of personality is a bit scary, but according to the people around him, as long as you don't offend him, he is a very tolerant person. This kind of personality is somewhat inconsistent with the character of the Chinese as we know it. ”

While the commentators were talking about Dick, Dick was back in his place—he booed him even louder when he gestured to victory in the stands just now, and he didn't care at all—the hatred of the enemy is the best medal for a warrior—who said that? Dick couldn't remember exactly, maybe it wasn't the same thing, but it didn't prevent him from appreciating this attitude exceedingly.

To make himself famous, Dick doesn't care about stepping on a few people, he won't take the initiative to step on people, but if someone is dissatisfied with him, he will not be polite at all, and he also feels at ease - who asked you to mess with me first? Those who recruit people are cheap, and they have no complaints when they are killed.

Cooper glanced at Dick from a distance, and then sat down in his place, he knew that he shouldn't fight with Dick, Valencia's current background is still a little worse, the league championship is not the time to think about it for the time being, but it is easier to have a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, so Dick should not be his first opponent - but for Cooper, he hates this guy named Dick, because Dick gave him a set last season, and he stupidly got into it, This made Cooper, who had a lot of self-esteem, a little unbearable, and Dick won the first round, which made Cooper even more disliked him......

Anyway, Valencia's results in the second group stage of the Champions Cup are good, and even if it affects the next games, it won't be too much of a problem, so Cooper simply plans to indulge and give Atletico Madrid and Dick a good look in this game - so that they can have a good idea, dear!

It's just that Atletico Madrid's start made him a little surprised, and Héctor started even if he started, he was already the main starter of Atletico Madrid in the first few games, but in the backline...... Marchena replaces Gamarara? What was Dick thinking? Atletico's backline has not been bad this season, and their defensive ability has been among the top in La Liga since the arrival of Claude Makelele and Thuram, which is enough to put the former two Italian coaches Sacchi and Ranieri to shame, but in recent rounds he has replaced right-back and then centre-back......

As a head coach who attaches great importance to defense, Cooper will not easily shake once he has determined the main backline, and the rotation can rotate the frontcourt, but not the backline, which is a very simple truth, because the backline is the most chaotic place, and it is also the most difficult place to form a whole and tacit understanding, but Dick just did this.

Valencia also sent all the main players in this game, Canizares, Ayala, Pellegrino, Angnoma, Carboni, Albelda, Aimar, Keely, Mendieta, Sanchez, Carlou, and the main players at the beginning of the season, Deschamps and Zahovic have been reduced to substitutes, and this lineup is now Cooper's best use.

And before the game, Cooper also told the players - this game is to give it their all - we can't lose three times in a row! That's what Cooper said.

For Valencia's players, it would be a shame to lose three times in a row to Atletico Madrid, who finished runners-up in the Champions Cup last season and finished in the top three in the league. Successful insurance relegation! Even if they bought a lot of people in the summer, they couldn't compare to Valencia! Valencia has gone a lot of people, but it has also added a lot of people!

From the very beginning of the game, Valencia launched a pressing attack, and their current midfield can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, Albelda, Keely and Mendieta are all quite capable players, plus a brilliant Aimar, this midfield lacks any elements, and their backline has always been able to give them a lot of confidence, which also makes them more bold and stronger in pressing attacks.

Atletico Madrid has been stable from the beginning, Dick said before the game, we don't need to be in a hurry in this game, now it's Valencia who is anxious - we can't win the league title, but the top four are still stable, and Valencia? If we lose again, maybe we won't be able to get the top four, so it's going to be them, not us, who are in a hurry.

In this mood, Atletico Madrid's players were not in a hurry at first, but based on the midfield and the opponent was entangled, their midfield defense ability is not bad, Camoranesi is also an attacking midfielder who can run, his style is quite fierce, in the Mexican league once shoveled people to retire, with him retreating, Atletico Madrid's midfield defense is also a lot stronger, and the presence of Jadel and Vicente also makes Valencia's players have a lot of concerns when attacking.

Kalou met Marchena's defense in the penalty area, and the Norwegian striker was a little stunned, because he was not well targeted by Thuram in the first leg, but this time he saw a new person, and his confidence came back - Thuram is the world's top central defender, and there is nothing to be ashamed of being targeted by him, and now with a new person, it is not solved in minutes......

It is natural for Kalou to underestimate Marchena, because he is more than ten centimeters taller than Marchena, and he seems to have the upper hand in strength, but he ignores one point, although Marchena may not be much older than him, but he is not bad at all in terms of experience, he played more than 60 games in Sevilla in the first three seasons, of which 32 were played in La Liga, and what about Kalou? Before this season, he had only played for half a season in the Norwegian league, but in terms of experience and mentality, he was far inferior to Marchena!

Opponents do have the upper hand on Kalou, but when his teammates try to pass the ball to him, Kalou will find that Marchena will always appear in a place where he feels uncomfortable, although he can still rely on his height advantage to get the ball, but he can't directly pose a threat to Atletico's goal, as for trying to pass the ball to his teammates? Thuram is always there for his passing paths.

After ten minutes passed, Cooper on the sidelines frowned, Valencia's advantage in the midfield was not large, so many times they relied on high-altitude balls to create opportunities for Kalou, but although Kalou fought for a lot of first landing points, but the second landing point was completely controlled by Thuram - he had to admit that Dick's change was very top-notch, because if Gamara and Thuram were still partners, Gamara would not be able to control all the second landing points so perfectly, Because his reaction and physical fitness are worse than Thuram's, Thuram can't completely control Kalu, after all, Kalou's height is here, Atletico Madrid is not much worse in controlling the first landing point, but it is much stronger in controlling the second landing point, which is invisibly equivalent to a lot stronger defense!

"This guy's pre-match preparation is really troublesome." Cooper couldn't help but admire Dick a little, although this is just a small change and a small trick, but what is revealed from the middle is Dick's excellent tactical sense and sensitivity, this is a talent, this young man can create the current results, it is indeed not a fluke.

However, Cooper has not made any changes, and now that the game has just begun, Valencia's attack may not have any chances, not to mention that Valencia's players have always been very patient under his tutelage, and they will never risk giving Atletico any chance to counterattack.

Dick also frowned on the sidelines, after watching for five minutes, he was not worried about his team's defense, but he was a little worried about the attack - Valencia is very solid, their back line is almost not rushed, the four defenders are in good order to form a complete defensive line, and the occasional assist is also a long shot and a long pass Carboni inserts the assist, Angnoma is very solid in his area, but he is afraid of Vicente's speed.

"If this continues, we may have to suffer a lot of losses in terms of attack." Dick thought silently in his heart, but he was also not worried, playing with a team like Valencia, he just couldn't be in a hurry, he needed to be patient, he told the players not to be anxious before the game, because Valencia would be more anxious, and he couldn't mess up first.

"Then let's spend it first, and see which of us can hold our breath better!"

Ten minutes after the first half, Atletico Madrid launched a threatening attack, Belleron received a pass from Makelele and made a one-two with Baraja, and then passed the ball to Jadel under Albelda's defense, Jadel took the ball at the edge of the penalty area and forced to turn and pass, under the interference of Pellegrino, he dialed the ball to Camoranesi who was inserted before Ayala came up to make up for it, Camoranesi grabbed the ball directly before Carboni and curled the ball into the far corner, The reflexive Canizares flew up and saved the ball with one hand.
