Chapter Ninety-Four: What's There to Be Afraid of?

Updated: 2013-04-02

As soon as Dick said this with a fist in the dressing room, the Atletico players let out a strange howl like a wolf - Dick led the team in no traditional way, and he could barely say what way he used...... That's a management model similar to that of a gangster group, using an iron fist and a non-dictating approach to the management of the team, anyway, if you don't follow my rules, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat, and if you want to blow up, you will get rid of me, and outside the stadium it is like a bastard Jianghu to talk about righteousness, giving benefits...... To put it bluntly, it's like forming a gangster to form a whole team. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

At least preliminarily, the cohesion of Atletico Madrid's team is now condensed, which is related to the strength of Atletico Madrid's dressing room, the old Hill has introduced a large number of players and sold players, so that Atletico Madrid's first team personnel flow is quite frequent, and it is naturally impossible to establish any strong forces to come out, Dick came with a fierce air after he became the owner, only a small circle of players without big forces naturally cannot be compared with Dick who has full control of the team, In addition, Dick sold 12 players in one go and brought 10 players in the summer, which made the team completely reshuffle.

Looking at the Atletico Madrid players who were howling loudly, Dick nodded with satisfaction, the tactics of the last game did not work very well, presumably Valencia did not expect that he would continue to use the tactics of the previous round, although Cooper's coaching level is high, but his on-the-spot command ability is not particularly good, he still belongs to the kind of old-school coach, that is, according to his own ideas to create a tactical mold, and then use the most suitable players to fill in, which he is somewhat similar to Wenger, What is better than Wenger is that his tactics still have certain changes, and what is worse than Wenger is that his overall view is not as good as Wenger - so Wenger has been able to do the position of Arsenal manager for more than ten years, and Cooper has never recovered after the failure of Inter Milan.

After the players had gone out, Dick brushed his mind again and felt that nothing was missing, and then walked out of the dressing room.

When he walked into the tunnel, perhaps by coincidence, he ran into Cooper head-on......

Looking at the other man's gray hair and thin face, Dick laughed slightly.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Cooper." The two looked at each other for a moment, and Dick was the first to speak.

"It's a coincidence." Cooper is not a man of words, he replied very simply, and then made a gesture - you please first.

Dick was not polite, and walked towards the player's tunnel first, and when he saw him leave so simply, Cooper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and walked up.

He is also reluctant to walk out of the tunnel with Dick, who is the home of Atletico Madrid, and Dick's popularity is so high right now that he is bound to be greeted with huge cheers from the Atletico fans when he appears on the sidelines – what does he look like next to him?

And at this time, Cooper was also depressed in his heart, he originally thought that Dick was likely to return to the previous two-center tactics, such as removing Baraja in the midfield and letting Cruise play, but Dick continued to use four or five, which caught Cooper a little off guard, and this Dick always seemed to play cards out of common sense.

So, when the Atletico fans cheered, Cooper quietly walked from behind Dick to his position, and then sat down silently, waiting for the game to start.

In this game, Valencia's starting lineup is similar to that of Atletico Madrid, and it is also a four-five-one formation, and Angulo's absence due to injury made Cooper only send Juan? Sanchez as a single striker, behind him is Zahovic, on the wings are Keely and captain Mendieta, behind them is the new season of the French national team captain Deschamps and local teenager Albelda, the back line has not changed, Carboni and Angnoma two elderly fullbacks are still starting, only Ayala replaced Djukic's position, and Pellegrino partnered with the central defender, and the door is still guarded by the Spanish international Canizares.

There are actually a lot of highlights of this game, Zahovic performed well in the European Championship, he also played against Spain in the group stage, the Spanish national team happened to use Belleron to start in that game, and it was a collision by Zahovic that caused Belleron to be injured in the game, so that Dick had to let him rest for a while before and meet the next big battle in the best condition - if it wasn't for Valencia in the third round, Dick wouldn't have hidden Belleron, It's not just about seeing how the game would have been without Belleron, it's about preparing for the game.

For Belleron, it was also a personal battle for revenge.

In the summer transfer market, Atletico Madrid and Valencia both bought a famous defender from Serie A, but Thuram mixed quite well in Serie A, while Ayala mixed more sluggishly in Serie A, whether it was in Napoli or Milan, did not perform very well, and now they have come to La Liga at the same time, what kind of play they can have, which is also a highlight.

Because of Deschamps, Vieira, and Petit, the French national team did not take Makelele away in the European Championship, and now facing the captain who has just withdrawn from the French national team, what kind of performance will Makelele, who has just entered the French national team?

The wings of Vicente and Camoranesi, one Spanish and one Argentine, Valencia's two wings, Mendieta and Keehly, are also a Spaniard and an Argentine, and even the remaining one in the midfield, whether it is Baraja or Albelda, is the kind of young midfielder who runs aggressively against excellent ......

In terms of midfield, the two sides are very close, and such a confrontation has also made a lot of interest from quite a few neutral fans.

"Valencia should still have the upper hand in this game...... Although they lost in the first round, but in the face of Real Madrid, losing a goal away is nothing, and then Valencia beat Mallorca 4-0, Mendieta scored three goals in two games, showing excellent form, Keely and Sanchez also scored, Valencia's offensive level this season is much stronger than before, although Atletico Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup, but they unexpectedly lost to Valladolid in the last round...... In terms of form, Valencia should have the upper hand, although it is Atletico Madrid's home stadium, but Atletico Madrid is likely to usher in a tough battle! ”

"With Dick's character, I think he's going to play a counter-attacking game at home...... I think he's very good at leading the team, but this manager, despite his youth, has the mentality that no matter what means he uses, as long as he can get the best result, it's enough to be honest, and to be honest, that mentality I hate, because he's the kind of manager who doesn't mind having his players on the pitch for 90 minutes if he only needs one 0-0 game to qualify. Although he bought a lot of people in the new season, the $23 million for Thuram and $15 million for a defender who is not yet a France international are enough to prove that he values defense. With that mentality, he's likely to try to win with a draw as a minimum. This tactic surprised Atletico last season by beating Valencia away at home, but Cooper must have been prepared after suffering a loss, will he be fooled again? It seems unlikely......"

Before the start of the game, many commentators commented like this, especially when they got Atletico's starting list and knew that Atletico Madrid continued to use the tactics of 451, and even made such a judgment, but when the game started five minutes later......

“…… Atletico seem to be attacking in full force? That's a bit of a surprise! ”

Cooper frowned, and glanced at Dick standing on the sidelines from a distance, with a look of disbelief on his face - I'm still thinking about how to break your iron bucket formation, you bastard dare to press up and attack?

Dick watched from the sidelines - why wouldn't I dare to press up and attack? López is gone, although Sanchez is also a dexterous striker, but he is not the kind of striker who can bring great lethality with a wide area, and Thuram's speed is not slow at all, at least after Thuram joined, the Atletico Madrid backline is not so afraid of fast strikers - no matter how fast it is, it is faster than Ronaldo in the 98 World Cup? Ronaldo was stared at by Thuram, not to mention Sanchez!

In terms of the wings, Valencia's two wings are not fast, Kieley's running ability is very strong, but the absolute speed is average, Mendieta has a large range of activities, and the speed is not fast, last season's Valencia's counterattack in addition to relying on López's speed, more scoring tools are inserted by Gerard or Farinos's back row, and now Atletico Madrid's midfielder has one more Makelele who can intercept the opponent's pass to block the opponent's attack, and you are afraid that your Valencia's counterattack can hit the sky?

If Vicente had gone to Valencia as he had done historically, Dick would have been a little jealous, but now that Vicente is under my command, what should I fear?

Last season, I used to defend because I had so many defenders and midfielders at hand, and I couldn't stop Valencia's counterattack without dense defense, but this season my ability to prevent the opponent's counterattack has increased, while your Valencia's counterattack ability has decreased, why don't I dare to attack with you?

I became a grandson last season because I didn't have any chips on hand, and now that I have chips, of course I'm going to play stud with you!

In Dick's sneer, Atletico Madrid's attack on the field, like a storm crashing on the shore, frantically rushed towards Valencia's defense!

After Belleron's long-range shot skimmed the crossbar, Cooper also stood up with a tense face and then made a gesture to the field.

"Defend for the time being! Resist their attacks first! ”

Cooper has also been doing Valencia's adjustment for a long time, although Valencia now has more newcomers, but after all, Valencia's framework last season is still there, and it will be much faster to integrate into it, after he made this gesture, Valencia's players immediately began to understand, defend first, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack!

After doing that, Cooper sat back down - yes, I didn't expect you to play this kind of crazy attack at home, but if you want to use this to beat us, you have to score before the attack goes down, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is a little difficult to do, and when your offensive momentum goes down, it will be our chance to fight back!

Dick glanced at it from afar, then turned his head.

Mr. Cooper, after taking it back, it's not so easy to play it out again!
