Chapter 534: Small Victory

Even though the full-backs kept an eye on Mendieta, Mendieta, who was now completely free, still relied on two changes of direction to open up a passing opportunity.

Mendieta quickly stuffed the ball into the middle, Toni was sandwiched between two central defenders in the middle, this cross was very difficult to grab, but Toni did not choose to grab the shot directly as usual, but stretched out his long legs, and actually passed the ball back to Mendieta before the central defender.

This kind of operation is the first time Deportivo La Coruna has encountered it, how can he still pass the cross back, the most annoying thing is that Mendieta really continued to run inside after the cross was completed, this time Toni pad him back, he is not in an offside position.

At this time, Deportivo La Coruna's goalkeeper, two central defenders and the full-back who followed Mendieta just now, all four eyes were on Mendieta.

Mendieta has one line to shoot at this time, and several lines to pass the ball, and now Valencia is a pass-based team, and this opportunity to pass the ball is basically a pass.

Today's Mendieta choice is of course Valencia's style now, Mendieta passed the ball to Toni again with three defenders pressing up at the same time.

This time, Toni didn't need to make any unintentional return passes, and shot directly, almost an empty goal, because it was when Toni shot that goalkeeper Molina's attention was still on Mendieta's body, and he had time to turn around to save.

1:0, Valencia was attacked by Deportivo a few more times, and successfully relied on a few passes to destroy Deportivo Deportivo's defense.

Vincent felt that Tony's choice this time was really eye-catching, to be honest, this kind of cooperation had never been practiced in Valencia's training, but this Tony's flash of inspiration, coupled with Mendieta's off-ball running, created this somewhat unexpected goal.

This routine may be a good way to open a breakthrough in some stalemates in the future, and it is necessary to think about this unexpected method in the future, so that the team can come up with some unexpected cards when the opponent is in trouble.

Irueta sighed deeply on the sidelines after watching this goal, at the beginning, De Giaminha's performance did give him some confidence to beat Valencia, but first Vincent's restrictions on De Jaminha, coupled with Valencia's goal, Irueta was already a little pessimistic about this game.

If Vincent knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give him a credit, it seems that until now, Valencia has hardly lost the game with the first goal this season, so the best result for Deportivo in this game is a draw.

Irueta wants to adjust, but Deportivo doesn't have a midfielder who can hold the ball now, De Jaminha is the person, but Willy will always drop a lot when De Jaminha is closely guarded.

This is a common problem for many Brazilian players, who need a space to show their delicate skills, and in such a fierce confrontation in Europe, their performance is often greatly reduced, the most obvious is Denilson, the dribbling king has stumbled in La Liga.

Irueta is not thinking about how to win this game, but where to find a player who can hold the ball in the midfield, and this season Deportivo should be in the rankings, and if you want to win the league next season, you must have one or two players like Aimar and Belleron who want Valencia, who can hold the ball, pass the ball, and pass people.

However, Irueta also knew in his heart that if he asked Valencia to buy it, even if he could buy it, it would be a high-priced purchase, and he would need to travel to Asia this summer, and then to South America.

The head coach Irueta has given up, and the players of Deportivo have nothing to fight for, if you want to say which Deportivo players are the most depressed in the game with Valencia, it must be Deportivo La Coruna's strikers, Valencia is not very tight on their defense, but Valencia's control of Deportivo La Coruna's midfield can be described as cruel, not to mention shooting, these strikers will not have more than two hands to get the opportunity to pass the ball in the penalty area.

Valencia still wants to score another goal in the rest of the game, but Irueta replaced Dejaminha, Mackay and other attacking players in the second half, and replaced some defensive players, which is also to save Deportivo LaCoruna's face.

With that in mind, the final score of the game was 1-0, with Valencia relying on Toney's goal to win a narrow home win over Deportivo La Coruna and extend the gap between the two teams to nine points.

And really as Deportivo La Coruna expected, Real Madrid caught up after winning Osasuna in this round of games, and they are also 9 points away from Valencia, but the disadvantage in goal difference is only in third place in the league.

Or Irueta has the foresight, otherwise Valencia will score three more goals, then the second place in the league will not be Deportivo La Coruna, it will be replaced by Real Madrid.

Although the second and third places in the league can enter the Champions League next season, Deportivo still wants to beat Real Madrid, after all, Deportivo still has a big heart.

After this game, there are only three rounds left in the league, and as long as Valencia gets one point in the three rounds, the league title will definitely be Valencia's.

According to Vincent's plan, they must win the title on their home turf, and now there is a chance that the next game will be Valencia's home game against Espanyol, and as long as they don't lose, Valencia will be able to celebrate the team's league title two rounds ahead of schedule on their home turf.

Vincent announced something directly after the match against Deportivo La Coruna, "You can't rest now, we will play Espanyol here next week, there may be some of you who don't know the importance of this game, Didier will tell them about it." ”

Deschamps stood up at this time and analyzed the situation to the players, and these people understood what Fan Shang meant when he said that he couldn't rest.

Then Fan Shangyou spoke, "Starting tomorrow, we will have a week of closed training, you will have to live in the club this week, and I can let you rest more at other times, but at this critical moment, you must cheer up." ”
