Chapter 481: Tiki-Taka
Valencia started the second half like a different team, and no matter what happened to Barcelona, Valencia began to attack Barcelona with the tradition of Barcelona.
Although Vincent didn't tell the players now, he does look like Tiki-Taka now, except that Barcelona like to pass the ball into the goal, and now Valencia tries to send it into the air as much as possible.
To be honest, Toney's height and weight have absolute suppression in La Liga, and Barcelona has always liked to use a tall and mobile central defender, Toney's presence is painful for them, De Boer is not in the national team to defend high-altitude balls, and in the Dutch team there is Stam.
Now Valencia doesn't care about anything else, just desperately smashing Tony, once or twice De Boer and Puyol can use their bodies to control Tony's bounce, but there are always times when they can't take care of it, and they can't ignore Valencia's two backs, they have to take care of it, so the opportunity to distract Tony will come.
In the 57th minute, Angulo had already broken through to the corner of the penalty area, but did not continue to cut inside and shoot, but still kicked the ball into the air.
Tony wasn't ready for the ball in the first place, he thought Angulo was going to shoot or cross. However, Toney was not ready, and De Boer and Puyol were unlikely to be prepared, so the ball flew unexpectedly towards goal.
Toney, De Boer and Puyol are all a little slower, but at the same time they are at the point of recovery, and now it's up to who can touch the ball.
This time the reaction was so hasty, De Boer and Puyol didn't have time to use any idle Tony jumping movements, just as the two raised their feet and ran back to chase the ball, Tony was different from them, and his legs jumped forward vigorously.
The two men who ran back were certainly not as fast as they were in the air, and by the time the two centre-backs were in place, Toney's head had already made contact with the incoming ball.
Then flew towards the goal, by the way, there was actually another person who grabbed the ball just now, that is, the goalkeeper of Barcelona, this kind of half-deep ball as a South American, Bonano chose to attack, but the price of this attack was that he was too close to the ball and could not react to Tony's leaping goal.
The second goal was so generated, but Toney collided with Bonano after the ball, although the goal was scored, but Toni did not celebrate, this time both were hit lightly, and then De Boer and Puyol did not hold their feet and pressed on the two of them, so that the injuries of the two players were even worse.
Fan Shang didn't have time to celebrate, and hurriedly asked the team doctor to go up and take a look, while he waited anxiously on the sidelines, Toni is important to Valencia, if the fulcrum in the penalty area is lost, Fan Shang's entire offensive system will be overturned, substitute players Alonso and Zhikic can occasionally replace it, if Toni is injured for a long time, Fan Shang will really be passive.
Just thinking about it, a substitution gesture from the team doctor made Fan Shangru fall into the ice cave, and the matter was really careless, and Tony was really injured.
There is no way for Fan Shang to let Diego. Alonso warmed up, and then Valencia made two substitutions in a row, Diego. Alonso replaces Toney and Abidal replaces Djukic.
Although Alonso is also a good center forward, he is a little far from Toni in terms of deterrence, especially in the face of Barcelona's backline, Toni has some advantages with his physical ability, Alonso's height and weight are not as bounced as Toney, so he was eaten to death by Barcelona's two central defenders.
Fan Shang is now worrying about why he didn't write Zhikic in the bench lineup, so 2 meters tall, can scare Barcelona.
However, Vincent also anticipated this situation when he made a substitution, so he had already told the captain Albelda in advance to solve the problem, and now Alonso is only left to play a diversion role, anyway, Barcelona will not let a center forward be unmarked in the penalty area.
Fan Shang's instructions were to let the four attacking players in the midfield look for opportunities to shoot as soon as they enter the penalty area, and stop looking for the top of the head of the center forward, who is no longer hard enough.
So Mendieta and Angulo strengthened their in-cut shots, while Belleron and Aimar often went to the side to assist them to break through in the penalty area, and the position of the long-range shot was usually Albelda, and Baraja was a little behind, after all, Valencia's defenders are not many now, and Baraja still has to take care of it.
However, after all, it has been training and playing with the support of the center forward, so now it has been changed to not have to pass the ball to the center forward, which makes these midfielders really a little confused.
Barcelona's attack in the second half turned into a counterattack because of Vincent's request to Valencia, and several of Valencia's midfielders in the second half firmly controlled the midfield under Vincent's request.
In the 70th minute of the game, Barcelona also made two substitutions, first replacing Gabri with Reziger and then replacing his compatriot Giovanni with Roshenbach.
By the 75th minute, Barcelona's defense was under too much pressure, so they made another substitution, replacing Anderson with Saviola, so that Barcelona became a 532 formation, and Lexach's substitution made Fan Shang very incomprehensible.
From Fan Shang's point of view, Barcelona has always been going to attack before, and was scored two goals but did not have to retract to defend, if Fan Shang will definitely continue to change the frontcourt players, even if he concedes another goal, he will score a face-saving goal.
In the 80th minute, Valencia also made a third substitution, Vincent replaced Aimar with Tovding, Valencia besieged Barcelona for so long to no avail, and Vincent was also ready to let the team retreat, after all, Barcelona has now strengthened its defense, and then tried hard to chisel in Vincent felt that it was a little more than worth the loss.
Both teams on the pitch were indeed a bit tired, and all they had to do was spend the rest of the game time. Especially Barcelona, if they still wanted to play in Valencia's goal before the substitution, after the substitution, Barcelona's heart was completely discharged, and they directly broke the jar and started a single battle.
Kluivert began to play with the ball from the midfield, but his long drive only lasted more than ten meters before Ayala intercepted, and Enrique was the same, and it didn't take long for him to break through with the ball before he was stopped.
