Chapter Fifty-Six: Ordered Again
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Pan-Ti-Ya-Ni!! Calmly pushing, Valencia's defense line in the 30th minute of the first half, can no longer hold on, announced broken! Bellerón's back-heel pass was very imaginative, and Ayala was caught off guard," said the Deportivo commentator passionately and loudly.
At this time, the Riazor Stadium has become a sea of madness for Laco fans. With the title of Super Laco, resounding throughout the European continent, the name of the home stadium of the Riazor Devils has also spread.
And now in the air of this stadium, it is filled with crazy enthusiasm, and it really lives up to its name as the home of the devil.
However, on the other hand, it is the away battle, the loneliness of the Bat Legion.
Everyone knows that for Valencia it's not just a matter of being down one goal. On top of that, it means they've completely lost their lead in this game, at least for now.
For Valencia, who are good at switching between attack and defense, and playing solid defensive counterattacks, this means that they have lost what they are best at strategically.
"Shit!" Benitez on the sidelines waved his hand in annoyance and shouted.
Obviously, he was worried about it, too. As Valencia's manager, he is perhaps the most aware of the predicament the team is facing.
Playing against Super Laco, Benitez felt his fat cheeks hurt just thinking about it. It's not that I don't have confidence in the players, but it's really professional.
At the same time, the hero and Pellegrino sitting on the bench also looked at each other, and their eyes revealed the same meaning, it was not easy to fight.
There is no shortage of supporters at this time, as do Sousa and Alonso.
"Either way, Valencia now has to accept that they are going to try to get out. At such a time, it is a little too unreal to expect the A Coruña to leave them with a good chance of a big counteroffensive. Sosa said worriedly, and what he said hit the nail on the head.
"That's right, the key now is whether Valencia's defensive line, when the front line needs to be attacked, can withstand the offensive frenzy of Deportivo La Coruna," Alonso on the side also expressed the same opinion.
On the pitch, after the game restarted, Deportivo La Coruna, whose morale was boosted by the goal, did not be conservative, but continued to press Valencia with a frantic offensive to besiege.
Their midfielders, full-backs, and even central defenders are quite restless at the moment, frequently assisting to the front, and coming in from time to time to kick, which is full of momentum, and it feels like Valencia is nothing.
Don't say anything else, but just this momentum, it's dragging a suffocating wildness! Breathtaking!!
In such a situation, the heat of the Riazor Stadium did not drop down after the goal, but intensified, marching towards the boiling point.
However, the Valencia players do not seem to have come out of the blow of the goal just conceded, and they were beaten dizzy by Deportivo La Coruna's strong attack, and the scene was really quite wolf-bèi, and there was no trace of the style of the team that had won five consecutive games in the opening season.
This made Benitez on the sidelines anxious like an ant on a hot pot, constantly pacing back and forth, and occasionally yelling twice into the field to keep the players holding on and keeping their attention.
According to the current situation, he just wants the team to hold on to the current situation, not to be expanded by the score, and put a qiē in the second half for consideration.
The team's dangerous situation on the field also affected the mood of the bench off the field, all of them were not good-looking, not to mention gloomy clouds, at least they were cold and dead.
Among them, only the hero's expression is quite bizarre, slightly different from the others.
Although some of it is strange, it is not that he has no heart and lungs, does not care about and worries about the team, as long as he just can't help the impulse in his body, the impulse that bursts out like a volcanic eruption!
With the rise of Super Laco in recent years, the hero has also longed for this group of Laco celebrities for a long time, and the opponent's crazy offensive football, seeing him, is also as dizzy as other fans.
Now, watching them in such a unforgiving manner, they are pressing Valencia to attack. This fanatical gesture instantly stirred up the aggressive blood in the hero's body! It's even going to boil!
I'm going to play! I want to fight them!
This voice, like a grand bell, rumbled, blasting into the hero's ears and heart, and there was no room for other thoughts and sounds.
Even the team's victory and defeat were safe, and he couldn't care about it for a while. Just staring at those famous Laco generals, their eyes are blazing! You can boil boiling water hot!!
In fact, the hero of this game is really not without a chance, because Oliveira's current performance on the field is really bad enough.
Although this is due to the lack of support from the Valencia midfielder, his almost disappearing transparent human expression is irrefutable.
Although Deportivo La Coruna's attack was strong, Valencia was not without the ability to fight back, and before Pantiani's goal, Valencia also had several counter-attacking opportunities, but Oliveira on the front line did not take it.
Although the Brazilian officially opened the competition in the UEFA Cup, it seems that there will be a long time to wait for his first goal in La Liga.
Looking at the current situation on the field, once Valencia is still unable to open up the situation in the second half, it is inevitable to replace the striker.
So, as a goalscorer who has already scored 7 league goals, the hero is not without opportunities. Even though the news that he has been successfully frozen and banned recently has made a lot of noise, his symbol of surprise in Benitez's heart is still strong.
What's more, Benitez is likely to replace two strikers at that time, and with the involvement of another striker, the hero will not be as limited as before.
The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of halftime.
In the dressing room at halftime, Benitez was furious, and he criticized each of the three lines on the field, just like a crazy Shar Pei, baring his teeth when he saw people.
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire away team's locker room was as solemn as a haze.
"At the beginning of the second half, everyone warmed up, and if anyone couldn't play and didn't want to play, they would give me down as soon as possible, and some people wanted to play."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Benitez said this, the hero always felt that he deliberately glanced at him, and his eyes were full of deep meaning.
That gaze suddenly aroused the irrepressible thoughts in the hero's heart, and instantly became overturned.
"Oh, we saw that Valencia's bench players got up to warm up, and it seems that Mr. Benitez was very unhappy with the team's performance in the first half. This is a signal that whoever does not satisfy his appearance, then he will be replaced. At the start of the second half, Sosa's attention was first drawn by the many Valencia players who were warming up on the sidelines.
"Man, who do you think is the most likely substitute?" Following Sosa's words, Alonso asked casually on the side, with some unexplained anticipation in his tone.
"I think the striker position is the most likely place for coach Benitez to make a move, and as for the candidate, it should be the number 20 Mista who is the most likely." Sosa could see at a glance what his old partner was thinking, but he didn't agree.
"Why, I think Hero, who has scored seven league goals, has a better chance." Before Sosa's words fell, Alonso immediately replied and fought back.
Hearing this, Sosa said calmly: "No one says that Hero is not good, as a young shooter who has just debuted, he is already one of the top in La Liga in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a leader." However, believing that his weaknesses have been thoroughly studied, he can once again become the savior of Valencia, which to be honest, requires a little courage and imagination. ”
Although he didn't say that the hero was completely bad, the faint suspicion in Sosa's tone couldn't hide it.
Not to mention how the two Valencia commentators were arguing again, the second half had already started five or six minutes, but the situation was still extremely unfavorable for Valencia.
At the start of the second half, Deportivo LaCoruna's attack reined in a little bit, maintaining a normal attacking intensity, not as frantic as in the final stages of the first half.
Obviously, this is the deliberate arrangement of Laco coach Iruetta, and it is an obvious signal, if you want to score, take the initiative to attack yourself, don't think I will press it too hard and let you counterattack in vain.
Although Deportivo is not afraid, it can fight against the attack, and it is better to fight against the attack.
Faced with such a situation, Benitez made a quick decision and immediately made a substitution, with Mista replacing Albelda to strengthen the attack.
At the time of the substitution, the hero could feel his gaze, and for a moment he wandered between himself and Mista, apparently hesitating on what to choose.
Seeing this, the hero couldn't help but feel a trace of eager anticipation in his heart, but in the end he got a basin of ice water and poured it on his head.
Obviously, Benitez is not very reassured about the hero at the moment. At least, he felt that now was not the time to put on a hero and make a last-ditch effort.
Regardless of whether Benitez is right or not, the decision he made did not lead to good results, but it was real.
Not to mention, although the number of people increased, Valencia's attack did not improve much, and on the contrary, Deportivo La Coruna used a counterattack to stab Valencia in the heart again.
Aimar's conceded goal in front of the court directly caused this counterattack. After Mauro Silva broke the ball, he did not hesitate and immediately handed the football to the feet of Victor on the right side of the field.
Then he immediately cut inside with the ball and played a beautiful one-two with Belleron in the middle. The consequences of Albelda's downfall are revealed, and Baraja is too lonely and thin to be alone in the middle.
After drawing Baraja's attention away, Victor knocked the ball back to Belleron again. Then, one of the most imaginative players in Spanish football in recent years gave his striker Pantiani a penetrating through ball.
Without stopping the ball, after half turning, it was directly a knock, and it tore apart the center-back combination of Ayala and Marchena in an instant.
As for Pantiani's subsequent goal, it was natural and natural.
At 2:0, Valencia, who was playing away, began to lose more and more control of the scene and slid deeper into the abyss of defeat.
"Idiot!!"
In this way, if Valencia wants to win, there is only one way to attack. But in such a situation, seeing Oliveira in the 65th minute of the second half, another anti-aircraft gun came and wasted a hard-won opportunity, Benitez on the sidelines finally couldn't help but scold his mother again.
At the same time, it also made him finally make up his mind.
"Hero, come here!"
Watching Benitez wave to him, the hero who was still warming up on the sidelines immediately took a step and rushed towards Benitez at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
I'm playing! I'm going to play!!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Listening to the strong sound of his heart beating, the hero only felt that the blood in his body was already boiling at this time! Roll it up!!
Even with it, his eyes are hot at this moment!
It's as hot as boiling water!!
