Chapter 121: Stress (21/136)
Bosque found his forward pressing attack useless against Valencia.
He was surprised.
It wasn't that it was useless, but that Valencia's not-so-named tactics were so powerful.
It's very simple to say, just keep passing and running, and pay attention to the change of rhythm points.
How did it get to the court and be so powerful?
Real Madrid's pressing attack in front of the heart was ready to let them run and run, and then they were scattered.
He got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, staring at the pitch with a furrowed brow.
The situation is not good...... ※※※ The form is still to come.
Real Madrid's players were surprised to find that their white-spooned pressing attack didn't work, and they looked unprepared...... This is a tactic they have been preparing for a whole week. Head coach Bosque studied Valencia's footage over and over again with them to understand their white-spoon tactics and then make countermeasures against Xìng.
They firmly believe that as long as they press so forward, it will soon lead to the collapse of Valencia.
Plus this is the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid.
Valencia is bound to be under tremendous pressure.
But now they realize that they are wrong.
Because it's not Valencia that's under pressure, it's them...... Real Madrid are notoriously harsh, they can mercilessly boo their players and coaches, waving white handkerchiefs at their home stadium and lashing out at their players and coaches simply because the other side doesn't meet their demands. They are notoriously less patient.
In fact, the players of Real Madrid know this, but this time they have experienced it very deeply.
In the first five minutes, Real Madrid did not threaten Valencia's goal, but almost broke the goal with an attack from Valencia.
Ten minutes into the game, they finally had a high-quality shè goal, but it was confiscated by Canizares. Similarly, Valencia's attack once again threatened Real Madrid's goal.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Real Madrid fans found in the stands that the initiative of the game somehow fell into the hands of Valencia!
They were shocked, and then finally booed them uncontrollably!
We all gave you 15 minutes, you played at home, we cheered you on so hard, the media before the game was swarming and saying that you were going to win, why did the game still play like this?
Fifteen minutes o! It's been so long, and not only have you not taken the lead, but you've also given your opponents the upper hand!
Listening to the boos from the stands, although only sporadic and not yet formed, it is already a dangerous signal that the patience of the Real Madrid fans is running out, and if they do not break the deadlock before then, they are afraid that the situation will not be good...... If you're at home, let your fans boo...... That's a shame!
At this moment, the Real Madrid players all felt the huge pressure from the stands.
Florentino went to great lengths to arrange the Copa del Rey final on his home turf, never expecting that the enthusiastic support of the home fans would become a source of pressure for the players...... and he also heard the boos from the stands, although not much, but he knew that this was just the beginning. As long as your team can hold on for a few more minutes, the tide will turn!
Real Madrid had the final at the Bernabeu, and it was humiliating to win, but it was what he expected.
If you want to beat Real Madrid, the best stage is the Bernabeu, and only at the Bernabeu will the odds of beating Real Madrid be greater.
Because this stadium is not only the home of Real Madrid, if it is not done, it will become the grave of Real Madrid.
It's like this game.
Chang Sheng knows that in the Copa del Rey final this season, Iruetta's Deportivo La Coruna defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
He hadn't watched that final, but he thought that Real Madrid's loss to Deportivo La Coruna in so many favourites must have something to do with it.
He watched Real Madrid's game later, but he knew very well that Real Madrid fans were virtuous.
Florentino thought that choosing the Bernabeu would double the combat effectiveness of Real Madrid players?
Then he really miscalculated...... Real Madrid's players became more and more impatient, and when Valencia attacked, they were often too reckless and pounced on it.
When attacking, they also lack the necessary coordination, and the result of too many superstars is that everyone thinks that they are a goal that can determine the game to occupy, and when the football is at his feet, he wants to make a big show of heroism.
Unfortunately, football is a team sport, and such a single thousand may still work against other teams.
But in the face of Valencia, which emphasizes the whole as a whole, these Real Madrid superstars can't do anything about it.
The mad dog tactics are not afraid of the opponent's single thousand. If you really dare to do this, you must let the other party see what is called "the vast sea of the civil war"!
Seeing that the Real Madrid superstars were really single, Chang Shengqian turned around and returned to the coach's seat, sitting on the coach's seat and cocking Erlang's legs.
He really didn't have anything to worry about now.
In this final, from the moment Florentino decided to schedule it at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid lost.
※※※ Real Madrid became more and more disorganized in the game, and there were more and more sporadic boos in the stands.
Sitting next to himself is the president of Valencia, Jaime. The smile on Ottie's face grew, almost as if he had deliberately done it for himself.
The president of Real Madrid FC Florentino. Perez sat in his place, his face very unsightly.
He now feels that as long as he plays against Valencia, his face will definitely not look good.
Why is that?
While Florentino was still thinking about it, Valencia on the field attacked again.
It was still the mad dog tactics that asked Real Madrid to press in the front, and then smoothly passed the football to the opponent's 30-meter area.
Every time football is passed here, Real Madrid fans start to worry.
In fact, they were not worried at first, but when Valencia almost scored in the first attack, many Real Madrid fans saw Valencia's attack hit the 30-meter area, and they began to be nervous involuntarily.
And as time went on, the Valencia offensive increased, and there were more and more people with such concerns.
This time, it's no exception.
The Real Madrid fans who were sitting in the stands watching the game from the top saw it clearly.
When Valencia's attack reached the 30-metre zone of Real Madrid, they were able to score as many as seven goals, as if they were in any place.
Real Madrid's defenders, on the other hand, looked awkward.
When the ball fell to Ibrahimovic again, Hierro was still clinging to his opponent.
Campo wasn't around, though. All into the back insertion of the worried Valencia.
Real Madrid suffered a loss because of the last league game, and in this game Real Madrid paid special attention to Valencia's back insertion.
Ibrahimovic took the ball, tried it and wanted to break through on his own.
He thought of the manager talking to him alone the week before the game.
He still remembers the look of surprise he felt when the manager said his mission for the game.
Because, this time, the head coach did not let him cover his teammates, but let him be a battering ram.
"Well, in this game, your job is to score. The Real Madrid players will think that you are a guise to attract their attention, but the real trick is actually the other way in the back. I guess you wouldn't mind giving them a surprise, right? ”
Ibrahimovich was frightened and only knew how to nod.
"That's good." Chang Sheng smiled. "Your endowment is the reason why I am willing to pay you eight million dollars to bring you here from Sweden. But you must know that no matter how good you are, it is meaningless, because it is your strength, not your potential, that determines your achievements in this industry. Now you need to bring out your potential and turn it into strength. ”
Ibrahimovic continued to nod.
Now that I think about it, at that time he was patronizing and nodding, which was very inferior...... Now, this inferior image should be reversed, and he wants to let Chang Sheng see his strength!
Hierro noticed that Ibrahimovic wanted to turn around, so he pressed harder and stopped Ibrahimovic from trying to do so.
Ibrahimovic found that if he turned on the spot, there really wasn't much he could do with the experienced centre-back.
So he passed the ball back to Aimar.
Seeing Ibrahimovic pass back, the object was indeed Aimar, and nothing else, Real Madrid was obviously relieved. It's not that they look down on Aimar, it's because Aimar didn't have a back-in, and it's a simple backpass, not something back-and-wall tie-in.
After the pass, Ibrahimovic ran into position.
He didn't run into the box, he didn't pull laterally, he ran back and ran to about the same line as Aimar.
By this time, the football had already come full circle.
And then it fell to Ibrahimovich.
This time he didn't receive the ball with his back to the attack, he was facing the attack head-on, and the difficult Hierro was not by his side. Because he had already dropped back into midfield and was worried about being pulled out of the box, Hierro didn't come out with him.
Of course, it's not that Ibrahimovic doesn't have a single Real Madrid defender around him.
Right beside him, Elgra was eyeing him.
When Mendieta passed the football to him, Elgra rushed up as well.
Ibrahimovic pushed Elgra with one hand to prevent him from sticking to it, and reached out with his right foot to catch the ball.
But the ball didn't stop, Mendieta's pass to him had a strong spin on itself, and Ibrahimovic stopped the ball with the outside of his instep, but the ball hit his foot and spun and bounced.
A complex sound rang out from the stands.
The main component is the sound of the Real Madrid fans breathing a sigh of relief and their white spoon laughter.
They were happy that their team was out of danger again, while also laughing at Valencia's players to play a blow at them.
In the midst of this laughter, Ibrahimovic exerted his left leg, his body slammed forward, and shè towards his unstopped football!
※※※When Ibrahimovic stopped the ball wide, Tsuneki thought that the attack was over. He didn't have much to be annoyed or dissatisfied.
You can't expect every attack to threaten the opponent's goal, or even every attack to be successful.
Ibrahimovic pulled out in order to avoid Hierro, which was already a good attempt.
So Chang Sheng was indifferent to Ibrahimovic's mistake.
But when he saw Ibrahimovic suddenly rush towards the football, it was as if something was flashing in his head, but it was so fast that he couldn't tell what it was.
But his instincts made him feel familiar with Ibrahimovic's move, as if he had seen it there a long time ago.
