Chapter 102 is no problem

Although a goal was conceded, for Irueta the game was not yet at the end of the mountain.

After all, it's a two-legged knockout round.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose on the road, it's the goals scored and the goals conceded.

Deportivo La Coruna, who have already conceded a goal, do not need to panic, because even if they end up losing this game, as long as they have a goal, they will still have the advantage when they return to home.

For example, even if Valencia scores another goal and the score becomes 2:0, as long as Deportivo scores a goal and the score is 1:2, Deportivo will still have an advantage when they return to their home stadium. They only need one more goal at the Stadio riaço to squeeze out Valencia on away goals 2-2 on aggregate.

So conceding a goal doesn't panic Iruetta, what makes him frown is that this game is always about scoring goals, but how to score goals?

Bellerón was confined by the opposing team's Marchena and Albelda.

While Deportivo have others, Belleron is an important player in breaking down dense defences.

If he can't play, Deportivo can't break through the opponent's goal.

And to get Belleron to play, it's difficult.

Valencia seems to have been prepared by Jīng's heart, just a Marchena makes Belleron very painful, not to mention that there is a fierce Albelda next to him, Valencia is not a tough guy in vain, and in terms of toughness in defense, he is not much worse than Marchena.

Seeing this, Irueta turned to look at Chang Sheng next door.

The Chinese coach, like him, is also standing on the sidelines.

He'd just celebrated his goal and now looked like he's not going to get enough of it, waving his fist and giving a thumbs up on the pitch.

When he saw Valencia's starting line-up for this game, he also wondered why the winner would put Baraja and Pep Guardiola, two players who had only been in the team for two days......

Now he understood.

Marchena's goal in this game is only one, and that is to completely freeze Belleron! In the race, Marchena can do nothing else, just run with Belleron, no matter where Belleron is or what he does, Marchena is like a maggot with a bone, inseparable.

The other midfielder, Albelda, is responsible for the team's defense in the middle, doing what a normal midfielder should do.

In this way, it not only froze Belleron, but also ensured that the team's defense in front of the central defenders would not be torn apart by Belleron.

It's a win-win-win......-win

In such an important game, the young Chinese coach dared to make this decision to sacrifice a back to completely destroy the opponent's offensive organization, and the young Chinese coach had quite good courage.

It's no wonder that Getafe's little-known side has thrived from his injury, while Valencia can be top of the league again.

The level of this Chinese seems to be higher than everyone thinks.

At least Irueta couldn't do such a thing.

Originally, the midfielder arranged two backs, and they had to be careful of the opponent's offensive breakthrough, and they wanted to build a wall in the midfield. He was better off and pulled out a midfielder and let Marchena deal with Belleron......

Irueta thought about what she would do if she were to deal with her Belleron.

He thought that the opponent's midfielder would be more ruthless on his Belleron. Just like what Marchena is doing now.

But he didn't expect Marchena to be so inseparable, and he really did it wherever Bellerón went.

This has left Belleron unable to play at their normal level at all.

On the pitch, there were two people who were completely out of the game, and they were Bellerón and Marchena.

Marchena was out of the game and had little to lose to Valencia, even if they had one man less. But they paid the price of one less man, and the result was the destruction of the entire attack of A Coruña.

For a matchup, they traded one person for the entire Deportivo team!

Irueta admits that Chang Sheng did it ruthlessly, but it worked well.

Because I'm really out of line.

After thinking about it, he only thought of one way, which was to divide the ball into the wings and give it to the wide players to force the cross.

Then let the mid lane stock of Diego. Tristan and Roy. Ma Kai has two people to solve the problem. In particular, Mackay is very good at heading, even if it is so simple and rough, he has room to play. Irueta observed the opposition's two centre-backs, with Ayala and Carvalho both being short in height, and that's what Deportivo La Coruna is looking for.

Tristan's header is a little worse, but his off-the-ball run is good and he is good at finding opening.

That's all there is to play now. As for Deportivo La Coruna's flamboyant football, and Belleron's "Zidane of Spain", Irueta can't take care of it now.

※※※

Valencia's players ended their celebrations and returned to their own half.

They deliberately went around to a place closer to the coach's box, and Chang Sheng applauded and whistled on the sidelines, encouraging them and praising them.

When he saw Reyes in the crowd, he shouted, "Reyes! Reyes! ”

Reyes turned to look at him again, a smile of excitement on his face.

"Well done! Then just kick like that, when you think it's time to break through, break through, when you want to cross, cross and don't hesitate to cut inside shè door! You have to be confident, even in the first division, you are the best! ”

Reyes nodded vigorously, feeling kind and enjoying the manager's foul language.

※※※

When the game resumed, Deportivo La Coruna continued to attack, and they did not lose the courage to continue attacking because of this conceded goal, on the contrary, they attacked harder.

Obviously, this was indicated by head coach Iruetta.

The two wings kept getting the ball up and sending all sorts of high balls in front of Valencia's goal, which were then handed over to the two strikers inside to fight for the top.

But at this time, they saw why Valencia was able to reach the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons by counterattacking defensively......

Valencia's centre-back pairing, previously with Manuel Pellegrino and Djukic, was replaced by Ayala and Djukic, or with Manuel Pellegrino.

Of the three, only Pellegrino is the tallest, with a height of 1.93 meters and a good air defense ability with a header.

But he is only one person after all, and the height of Ayala and Djukic around him is only one meter and seven, and as a central defender, such a height is definitely not good for air defense.

But Valencia's air defence is very good, and they rarely concede high balls.

In addition to Pellegrino, Ayala and Djukic both had good headers.

And Valencia have a whole set of practices for defending high balls.

Especially after Chang Sheng's coaching team, he knows that his two centre-backs are short, and whether they are good at heading or not, the opponent will put the idea on top of the heads of these two defenders.

So Valencia's air defense starts from the midfield, all the way to the wings, and finally in front of goal.

In front of the goal, in addition to the two short central defenders who bounce out of the sè and also have a header out of the sè, goalkeeper Canizares has also appropriately expanded the space of movement, and he uses his height and ability to control the ball in the air to frequently attack and intercept the opponent's crosses.

With such a three-dimensional defense, Deportivo couldn't blast Valencia's goal through the air corridor!

※※※

Against a counter-attacking team, if you press all the way and can't break through the opponent's goal as soon as possible, then you may face a very scary thing......

That's the opponent's sharp counterattack!

Chang Sheng put Vicente and Reyes on the wing, so that when Valencia counterattacked, Deportivo couldn't catch up at all!

In terms of quick counterattacks, Valencia has experience, often wins and experience, and the two sides together are definitely a strong combination of one plus one is greater than two.

So when Vicente scored a goal against Deportivo La Coruna in the 43rd minute, it wasn't too surprising......

Because this goal was already doomed as early as when Deportivo besieged Valencia's goal for half a day without success.

"Vicente! 2：0！ Can I say the suspense is over? Not because of the scoreline, but because of what we saw. Deportivo LaCoruna's attack came to a complete halt and they were only able to send the ball into the back of the net with a simple and brutal cross from the wing, and then expect Diego. Tristan and Roy. Ma Kai and the two of them hit the big luck like buying a lottery ticket, and crashed into a two-ball ...... Their tactics were completely restrained by Valencia's defensive counter-attacks! Belleron had been missing from the pitch for more than ten minutes, and Marchena was like his shadow, following him every step of the way...... How come no one in Spanish football has discovered that Marchena has the talent to play as a central midfielder? His much-criticized brutality has now become a weapon to successfully freeze Belleron! ”

Moen was unsparing in his criticism of the underperformance of Deportivo La Coruna, praising Valencia.

Mestalla has long been in a revelry.

And Deportivo La Coruna, from the coach to the players, all had a deep face and did not say a word.

It was a big blow, they really didn't expect Super Laco, who was third in the league, to be beaten to the ground in Mestalla!

This reality is somewhat beyond their imagination and acceptable limits.

They came with the ambition of taking a win away from home, but they were beaten in the head and have not recovered until now.

If Belleron's problem is not resolved, Deportivo La Coruna will not be able to do anything after only 45 minutes of the second half.

※※※

That's right, in the second half, Deportivo still couldn't find a way to attack, so they contracted their defense, hoping to lose fewer penalties, lose 0:2 away, and still have a chance to reverse the opponent when they return home.

But if you lose 0:3, 0:4, the hope is very slim.

Valencia, on the other hand, has always believed in the principle of "beating the water dogs, and Fiepharai should slow down".

Chase after A Coruña.

As soon as Chang Sheng saw Irueta shrinking his defense, he immediately waved his big hand, and Valencia stopped defending and counterattacked, but played the mad dog tiki-taka.

After Belleron was replaced because he had no role in defense, Chang Sheng also replaced Marchena and replaced him with Pep Guardiola, who was on the pitch and did not contribute much to the team's attack, but when Guardiola came up, it was different. Valencia was like flipping a switch and immediately switched to attacking mode.

When Marchena came off the field, Tsuneki took the initiative to reach forward and hold Marchena.

"Jīng Cai's debut, Carlos."

Marchena's smiling eyes were almost gone, and he was very happy.

He was sure once again that his coming to Valencia from Benfica was the most correct decision he had made in his life!
