Chapter 158: A Chance to Fight Back
When the Celta players walked out of the dressing room, they were in a very relaxed mood.
It's like their mood in the locker room.
At halftime, Victor. Fernandez praised the team's performance. Although they only led by one goal, the game was not just about the scoreline.
It's dangerous to have a one-goal lead, but you have to look at the game first.
It was clear from the first half that Celta de Vigo were in full control of the situation, they could score whenever they wanted, and if they didn't want Getafe to score, then Getafe couldn't score.
Is there any danger in such a situation?
Even the cautious Victor. Fernandes doesn't think anything will go wrong with his team either.
So at half-time, he was full of spring and the players were relaxed.
In this game, it was enough to rely on substitutes, and the main players did not need to play at all.
Basking in that confidence, the Celta players were completely oblivious to the change in the returning Getafe players.
Of course, even if they are not immersed in self-confidence, it is difficult to spot.
Because the Getafe players in the first half were full of fighting spirit.
Now Getafe's players are still full of fighting spirit, but they still have more confidence. But this faith is hidden deep in the heart and is not easily seen.
※※※
At the referee's whistle, the second half began.
In the second half, it was Celta Vigo who took advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack on Getafe.
They were going to take advantage of this opportunity to score another goal, then the suspense of the game would be completely lost, and the next 45 minutes of the game could be more relaxed.
It's like coming on vacation.
In this wave of attack, they didn't demand themselves with the mentality of the final stage of the first half.
It was the same as the first seventeen minutes of the first half.
It shows that they are really giving it their all and not giving Getafe any chances.
Couldn't Celta, a team that gave it all their all, score another goal in the second half?
Celta's players were full of confidence and they were just waiting to celebrate the goal soon.
But five minutes passed and their attack was goalless.
※※※
Chang Sheng changed his position in the chair, and he watched the team's performance. The words of his own midfielder made a difference, and the players were not only fighting high, but also full of confidence when defending.
And they are tougher, have more physical contact, and of course, after using [Iron Man], the odds of winning physical confrontations are also higher.
There's nothing better than dragging them into the mud and struggling together.
Because the aristocrats naturally hate the quagmire, they are reluctant to stain the upper of their trousers. How can this kind of timid mentality confront Getafe?
Five minutes without conceding a goal, that's just the basics.
Karpin was pushed to the flanks and when he tried to move to the middle, he was met with stiff resistance from the Getafe players, but on the flanks he only had to face two men, Barzaretti at left wing-back and Carlos at the back. Campo.
Everyone else is in their place.
Karping didn't know why Getafe had such an arrangement, but he knew that there would be much less resistance on the flank, and that fools would know what to choose. He broke through and crossed again and again on the wing, and rarely went to the middle.
As a result, Celta's attack is heavily right-leaning, and it will be much easier for Getafe to defend.
Karpin's cross was really good.
It's a pity that McCarthy is not the kind of center-grabbing center with outstanding awareness in front of goal, excellent bounce and excellent headers.
He's a speed player with the explosiveness and physicality typical of an African player, and he's good at dribbling. He would be a good player on the counter-attack, but when used to break down dense defenses, he is obviously not as effective as the team's main striker, Catania.
Catania only moved to Celta de Vigo from Malaga this season and has already scored nine goals in the league and is Celta's top scorer.
Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Catania has been in La Liga for five years and has also acquired Spanish citizenship. During this period, he was also selected by Camacho for the Spanish national team.
He's a typical strong centre-forward, physical, full of power, and he's very good at heading and shooting in front of goal.
Spain's newspaper El Monde Sport called him the "Slaughterer", and he also had the nickname "Crab", meaning that he ran rampant like a crab on the pitch.
The last thing Chang Sheng wants to meet is this Catania, such a powerful center forward, is simply Getafe's natural nemesis.
Because he's a good guy at breaking down dense defenses. Coupled with Karpin on the flank, who kept sending in crosses, Catania was able to show off his headers.
So before the game, Chang Sheng tried his best to deceive everyone, the purpose was to deceive such a behemoth. Sure enough, this time Victor. Fernandez didn't even bring Catania to Getafe at all.
Otherwise, the winner will worry that the opponent will see that the momentum is not right in the second half and let Catania come up and attack the Getafe goal.
Although McCarthy will later sound more famous than Catania, he is still a hairy boy who has just turned twenty-three.
He worked as a cold bench in Celta for half a season, and his form is no longer as brave as it used to be.
His first-half goal was typical of McCarthy, but Celta's attacking routine in the second half didn't suit him.
Celta Vigo looked fierce but could not really threaten Getafe's goal.
Chang Sheng glanced next door.
Victor. Fernandez sat in the dugout like himself, unable to see his specific expression. But looking at the way he crossed Erlang's legs, he was obviously not worried that his team would not be able to score.
It's true that once a decision is made, it won't be changed casually......
Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze and began to look at the court.
No matter how much Celta try to attack, but when they find that they can't score goals, they will put in more troops. When the time comes, they will certainly pull up two full-backs at the back to assist in the attack.
At that time, it was a chance for his side to fight back.
[Iron Man] is used in defense, and [Counterattack Sharp] is used in offense.
Although the system stipulates that offensive and defensive skills cannot be used at the same time. But rules are dead, people are alive. There is no clear rule on whether a skill like [Iron Man] is an offensive or defensive skill, but it can be used both offensively and defensively.
Getafe's tactics are mainly defensive, and [Iron Man] will naturally play a greater role in defense. So you can also use it as a defensive skill.
※※※
Ten minutes later, Celta still failed to find the back of the net despite Getafe's increasingly tough defence.
The relaxed expressions on the faces of Celta's players began to dwindle.
They realised they needed to put in more if they wanted to score.
At this time, Victor. Fernandez also got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.
When Chang Sheng saw this scene, he knew that the opportunity he was waiting for was coming.
Sure enough, Victor. Fernandes waved, whistled and waved again, and two of Celta's full-backs began to step in to provide assists.
Celta's two full-backs are Juanfran on the left and Velasco juan_velasco on the right.
This is the workhorse configuration of Celta.
Both full-backs are quick and good at assisting.
Naturally, the two of them did not play in this game.
However, the two full-backs who came off the bench were also fast and good at assisting.
It's just that there is a gap with the main force in terms of specific strength.
The difference in quality between Celta's main lineup and the substitute lineup is still obvious.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been relegated just because they played in a Champions League.
Because they don't have two sets of lineups that can be handled, whether it is the domestic league or the Champions League, they can only rely on one set of main lineups to survive, and in the end, it will collapse completely.
That's exactly what we want to take advantage of.
When he saw Fernandes give instructions and the two full-backs really started assisting.
He also got up and left the dugout and walked to the sidelines.
He didn't make any gestures, and he didn't shout loudly.
He's just standing there, but every Getafe player who has their eyes on him knows it.
It's time for us to fight back!
※※※
In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Celta went on the attack again, this time with both of their full-backs pressing up to support their own attack.
In the first half, they also used this series of attacks to finally blast away Getafe's goal in the 17th minute.
Many Celta fans now see Celta attacking again, and they start to wonder if they will also score two minutes later this time.
If Celta leads Getafe by two goals, then the suspense of the game will be completely lost.
Many Celta fans were already cheering for the goal.
The football was in the attack, as usual, handed to Karpin. He was the absolute heart of Celta's game. All offenses, football has to pass through him.
The difference is whether he chooses to dribble the ball himself or pass the ball out.
This time Karpin chose to dribble and rush on his own.
He's still on the side of what he's used to.
Barzaretti had few assists in this game because Karpin was on his side and all his energy was on defending Karpin.
Don't look at Karpin is now reduced to playing as a substitute at Celta, but Barzaretti does not dare to take it lightly. When Karpin made a name for himself in world football, he didn't know where to play in the mud......
Because of Karpin, he had very few assists in this game. At half-time, Tsunamo told him that he still had to try to get more assists in the second half, and that Barzaretti was an important part of Getafe's attacking system, and if he didn't go up, Getafe's counter-attack would not be so sharp.
He's a game-breaker!
Barzaretti now put his attacking mind aside for now and focused on defending Karpin.
Leaving him and Karpin head-to-head, it would be almost impossible for him to beat the seasoned veteran.
He needed help.
Carlos. Campo ran over.
Two-on-one was the norm for Getafe defending Karpin in the first half.
No one thinks it's a big deal.
No one noticed Carlos either. After Campo ran over to help defend Luis. Garcia did not return to Carlos. Campo's position to fill in.
Louis. Garcia was still parked on the wing, no one was paying attention to him, and all eyes were on Calpin and the area around him.
Celta fans were excited when they saw this scene, and Karpin was about to put on a one-on-two show again!
※※※
Karpin is a seasoned veteran who is often prone to being willing to trust his experience. Especially when dealing with young people, this sense of superiority in experience will be stronger.
Barzaretti and Carlos. Campo, one twenty and the other nineteen, in front of the thirty-two-year-old Calpin, was simply too young.
Although the opponent's body is better than his own, Karpin is confident that he can get rid of the opponent by using his technique, and will not give the opponent a chance to make physical contact at all.
Young people are always more reckless, as long as they make a slight feint, they will rush over, and then they will be easily flashed by themselves.
Thinking of this, Calpin made a gesture to pass the football out, intending to deceive Carlos. Campo retreated, loosening the encirclement he and Barzaretti had built up and providing Capping with a breakthrough.
He didn't do that in the first half.
This time, however, he clearly underestimated the Getafe players who had received a winning power bonus.
Carlos, who gained infinite strength and confidence from Chang Sheng. Campo did not retreat, but took a step forward and rushed forward.
Karpin didn't expect that the other party would advance instead of retreating!
He hurriedly pulled the ball back with his foot, intending to retreat to avoid the opponent's collision.
But at the same time, Barzaretti on the other side also moved, and he pounced on the other side of Karpin.
It was right on the route that Karpin intended to retreat.
When Carlos. The moment Campo crashes into Calpin.
The Iron Man skill played its part.
Although Karpin is not stunned in terms of physical confrontation ability, he can't overpower the system!
With the help of the [Iron Man] skill, Carlos. Campo directly knocked the opponent crookedly, and it was not fouled, it was a beautiful and reasonable collision!
I have to say that Karpin's technique is really excellent, even if it is taken by Carlos. Campo has stumbled and has not yet lost control of the football.
The ball is still at his feet!
Barzaretti rushed up and tried to break the ball.
With his center of gravity unstable, Karpin pulled the ball to the inside of his body and dodged Barzaretti's kick.
It's a very beautiful escape, and then he just needs to take the ball forward and get out of the gap between the two of them to make a breakthrough.
But the age gap made it impossible for him to do this.
Carlos, who is thirteen years younger than him. Campo quickly adjusted his center of gravity and pressed his body against him again.
He just relied on his physical advantage to press on Carl step by step.
Young people are responsive, flexible, and strong.
He's got Carl Ping!
Karpin didn't expect Carlos either. Campo's reaction was so quick that he immediately pounced.
This time he could no longer maintain his center of gravity, and Barzaretti was just as quick to follow.
Sandwiched between two youngsters who were a decade younger than him, he finally lost possession and fell off the touchline.
Falling to the ground, he opened his arms to complain to the referee and the linesman who was close at hand.
But no one paid any attention to him, because Carlos. Campo and Barzaretti did not make any hand movements from beginning to end, and they collided reasonably, purely using their physical strength and age advantage, and thus defeated Calpin, who was much stronger than him.
Watch Calpin fall to the ground in embarrassment under the blows of Campo and Barzaretti, and then ask the linesman for help, but the linesman ignores it.
Chang Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Karpin's name was thunderous to him.
But it doesn't matter how powerful you used to be, how famous you were, and how powerful you were. In the face of time, they are all floating clouds. The elderly Karpin, no matter how famous he is, can only raise his hand and surrender in the face of two young nobodies.
Heroes are in the twilight......
※※※
Chang Sheng only sighed slightly in his heart, and quickly focused his attention on the game itself.
Cut off the ball at the feet of Karpin, Carlos. Campo handed the football directly to Luis, who was also on the wing in front. Garcia.
Barzaretti, on the other hand, ran forward with his head in disregard.
Both full-backs rushed up and it was a great opportunity for them to counter-attack!
