Chapter 538: League Cup Final (3)

This foul is too obvious, as long as you are not blind, you can see that there is no need to justify, Koller just wants to give Dortmund a chance to not lose the ball, he knows that if Belleron passes, the ball will definitely be there, and now the penalty Dortmund can still be prevented.

Valencia's first penalty taker was assigned to Mendieta by Vincent, and when it came to the final, Valencia could not afford to miss that lead, Mendieta took a deep breath and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.

Lehmann did make a save and went in the right direction, but he didn't touch the ball.

At 1:0, Valencia took the lead in the first half thanks to a penalty.

Although it was a penalty, Valencia did a good job of making a series of passes and chances before making the penalty, and if it hadn't been for this penalty, Valencia would have produced a goal in the open battle this time.

Leading is a good thing, no matter how you lead, this time Mendieta knocked Fan Shang to the ground after scoring a goal, this situation has not been much recently, because Valencia has scored too many goals, if he keeps doing Fan Shang like this, before the end of this season, Fan Shang will go to the hospital.

But in this final, Fan Shang admitted it, it doesn't matter if there is more time like this, he can definitely hold on.

To be honest, this year's Valencia is really smooth sailing, from the first game against Real Madrid, Valencia has hardly encountered any setbacks this year, consecutive victories, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Deportivo these rivals to win the championship, and in the League Cup is the same all the way to the green light, that is, even the quarterfinals, and Inter Milan and Feynod can be said to be very smooth.

So far, in the most important game, Valencia has taken the lead again, and this year has really been a smooth year for Valencia.

"Hopefully this game will go as smoothly as before!" Fan Shang thought in his heart.

After the game started again, Dortmund once again crossed from the two wings to the middle, as before, there was no way, their whole year routine was like this, it was impossible to change much for a final.

And the fast Amoruso will appear most of the time in counterattacks and leaks, and Jankoller will always be the protagonist of positional warfare.

Today, the aura of the protagonist of Jankohler is invalid, with the villain Dellas, Jankoller's height of 202cm has become a joke, and he can't grab a header with empty height.

Another point, Fan Shang admires Summerer very much, just now after their defensive stalwart Coral came off the field, Sameer did not make a substitution, that is to say that now Dortmund on the field, only Warnes is a genuine central defender, Summer's is betting, he hopes that Dortmund can score as soon as possible.

In fact, Fan Shang also saw that when it was really time to defend, now Dortmund's captain Ruit will return to the position of central defender, but in this way, his physical consumption is very large, and one person can be used as two people.

There is another thing that Fan Shang also slowly observed, although Rosicky was put on the side by Summer, but except for the opening cross, he played very awkwardly at other times, and Ricken in the middle played very awkwardly, Sameer actually changed the position of these two, because Sameer studied Valencia's defense and hoped to put the best offensive players in the weakest link of Valencia's defense, that is, the wing.

However, Rosicky did not perform any more in the opening attack, and in the 30th minute of the first half, Summerer switched the positions of the two backs back, although Rosicky's role in the middle will be limited by Valencia's two backs, but the side is somewhat active.

In the 35th minute, Dede crossed from the side, Dellas and Jankole did not reach the ball, and Lucio at the back post rushed to destroy the ball before Amoruso.

In the 41st minute, it was Dede and Everton again, and with Rosicky's response, it was somewhat active. This time, Everton wanted to cut inside, but he really thought too much, and before he could enter the penalty area, Ayala shoveled the ball out.

Although the Argentine defensive backbone has not made much effort on the air ball this season, he has been trained to be pure in the ball with broken feet and the selection of card positions.

In the 45th minute, Valencia passed the ball into the penalty area after continuous passing, and Valencia's strategy to play in the box was the same as Dortmund's, which was also a high ball.

Because Toney's height advantage is also obvious, the current two central defenders, Ruit and Warnes, are both only 185 tall, and Tony is a behemoth in front of them.

Tony jumped up this time and prepared to head the goal, but Ruit and Warnes also jumped after Tony, hoping to interfere with Tony.

In fact, Tony had already foreseen the movements of the two defenders when he took off, so Tony didn't shake his head in the air, but just gently lowered his head and used his head to unload the cross.

Toni and the ball then landed almost at the same time, and when the ball bounced, Toni pressed forward and made a second stop with his chest, at which point the two centre-backs had just landed.

Ruyt, who had not yet stood firm, felt a strong force on Tony leaning towards him again, and Tony also knew that Ruyt was 37 years old, and at this time the two central defenders were in front of him, and it was obvious that Tony should lean towards him.

Leaning towards Ruyt, using him as the axis, he turned outside, dodged Warnes' outstretched foot steal, clinged to Ruyter, and finally completed the one-to-two attack with his left foot.

It's Toney's standard center forward who turns around and shoots after stopping the ball with his back, this set of Tony is already familiar with it, and this time the action is very coherent, Ruyt's physical strength itself is almost overdrawn, and he can't withstand Tony at all, and Warnes is standing in the wrong direction, and he can't do any defensive moves across a Ruyt.

This left-footed shot Tony shot without interference at all, such a shot has been completed thousands of times in training, no matter which goalkeeper is standing in front of the goal, there is basically nothing to do about this kind of shooting, and Lehmann is the same today, after Tony shoots, Lehmann has no reaction, the distance is close, the ball is fast, and the power is large, and any of these conditions can not make a save.
