"Hello everyone, hello everyone. This is the Stade de France, and now it's the Champions League final of the 99-00 season that is being broadcast live for you. The match was played by both clubs from La Liga, Real Madrid and Valencia. ”

"The starting line-ups for both sides have come out, so let's look at the starting line-ups for both sides. Real Madrid's goalkeeper is the young Casillas, with Carlos, Campo, Elguera, Karanka, Salgado in the backline, Raul, Redondo, McManaman in the midfield, and Morientes and Anelka in the front. ”

"On Valencia's side is goalkeeper Canizares, at the back line is Carboni, Pellegrino, Ayala, Angeloma, in the midfield, in the midfield, Makelele, Gerrard, Mendieta, López, Angullo, and in the forward line is Jankole."

With the referee's whistle blowing, the Champions League final has finally begun. Rist had wondered how Benitez would deal with Real Madrid and what kind of approach he would take. Although Rist is only an agent, after all, he has been in football for nearly 30 years and has his own views on some tactics. But when the game started, Rist realized that he was still a layman. I really can't guess what these famous marshals think about. Of course, it wasn't just Rist, but the entire group of people who followed the game was taken aback.

Rafael Benitez is a recognized defensive coach in La Liga, unlike many Spanish managers. Valencia were able to make it all the way to the Champions League final, and everyone thought it was the defense to blame. Although the matches against Lazio and Barcelona were all big wins, no one thought that it was because Valencia's attack was done well. On the contrary, everyone knows that it is a defense that is well done.

Benitez's game was won by defending on the counter-attack. No one cared how Benitez was before. Benitez is known from Estemadura to Valencia. Of the two clubs, Rafa Benitez has been able to stock up a strong defensive midfielder in midfield and then counter-attack whenever the opportunity arises. That's what the routine is.

Therefore, when Valencia's starting list came out, everyone understood it even more. Take a look at the players in the midfield, the double back combination of Makelele and Gerrard, and the front court is Mendieta, López, and Angulo. It's exactly the same as when we played Barcelona, it's a complete clone of that game. The moment he got this starting lineup, Bosque breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, compared to Valencia's sudden change, it was the original style of play that Bosco could grasp better.

Because he has carefully studied the match between Valencia and Barcelona. There is also a countermeasure on how to deal with Valencia. Barcelona's attack was so fierce that they didn't care about the opponent's counterattack at all. Bosque has learned this lesson and is ready to grind Valencia first.

That's how it is understood. But after the game started, Benitez suddenly gave everyone a huge surprise, a surprise that no one expected. When the game started, Valencia didn't play the way they used to. It's about suddenly moving forward. Then start grabbing the ball in the midfield. A style of play that no one has ever thought of.

"Redondo, he gave the ball to McManaman. McManaman gave the ball back to Redondo, Gerard, and Gerard came up. ”

Moving forward defensively is a very dangerous way to play. This is especially true for a vintage car backline like Valencia. For example, Angeloma is already thirty-five years old, and Carboni is also thirty-five years old. They can also play as a regular full-back in Valencia, mainly because of their excellent positioning and experience.

But in terms of physical condition, they are no longer as good as when they were younger. The explosiveness and speed are completely at a disadvantage. Therefore, once the defense line is moved forward, their position is the biggest vulnerability. Carlos, Anelka, and McManaman on Real Madrid's side all have speed and jishu. Once play their speed. This place simply can't be resisted.

So no one thought about it. Benitez would have chosen such a risky style of play. As long as it is a slightly normal coach, he will not choose such a risky style of play. Of course, it can scare everyone else. Of course, even the opponent was scared.

Redondo is a very elegant midfielder. As a midfielder, his jishu is excellent and his passing is also very beautiful. But even he didn't expect that as soon as he got the ball, the Valencia player slammed into the grab. Gerard came up at once, and fortunately Redondo Jishu was excellent.

Faced with Gerrard's pressing, he smashed the ball with his left foot. It's kind of a preliminary shake over Herard. But Gerard is also a talented player, how can he be shaken by him twice. Therefore, it was also pasted. Redondo really couldn't get rid of Gerard directly, so he handed the ball to Raul, who came to pick it up. Raul was also forced to have little to do after getting the ball, so it was handed to Anelka next to him.

Anelka's transfer to Real Madrid shocked the entire European football world, and his reputation in European football at that time was almost comparable to that of those princes. But in this year, his performance is very average, and it can even be said that it is not at all worthy of him. If he hadn't done well in the Champions League semi-finals, he wouldn't have started in the final. Anelka tried to turn after getting the ball, but found that Makelele had been following him, so he had to pass back again.

But a good genius has fallen at Real Madrid. It should be said that in Real Madrid, he was suppressed by those superstars. So he chose the safest way to get the ball back again. It's a pity that this is not Anelka's style of play, Anelka's best thing is his jishu, speed, breakthrough, and shooting. His pass was soft and liliang.

"Anelka, return pass...... Liliang is small, and Herard gets the ball. ”

Valencia's overall pressing style of play is very unaccustomed to Real Madrid players. They were supposed to control the pace of the game at Bosque's request, but unfortunately they were ruined by Valencia before they could control it. In fact, this time is also a very good opportunity for Real Madrid. Once they get the ball, it's easy to tear through Valencia's defence with passing and pace.

However, Real Madrid, who did not respond in time to Valencia's changes, could only give up such a good opportunity and gave Valencia a chance. After Gerrard cut off Anelka's return ball, he immediately went into attack. Herard handed the ball to Mendieta in front of him and continued to run forward.

Redondo has the most tasks in Real Madrid's squad. He has to defend and organise attacks, but he is also powerless against Gerard and Mendieta. In addition, the ball was a mistake in Anelka's return pass, which caught Redondo off guard.

Mendieta, give the ball back to Gerrard. Herard passes! ”

Real Madrid play with three central defenders, with Salgado and Carlos on the wings nominally full-backs and coming up to assist during the game. When defending he was back at full-back. Therefore, Real Madrid's defensive midfielder seems to be Redondo alone, but when Redondo is unable to defend the opponent, Elgra will rush up from the back position and take on the role of a central midfielder. It's Real Madrid's defensive play.

That's how Elgra came up when Gerard was dribbling the ball. Instead of tangling with Elgra, Gerard made a direct through pass into the box.

"Jankoller, Jankoller got the ball in the box. Karanka is defending Jankoller, who leans on Karanka. Jankoller, shoot! ”

Because of his height of two meters and two, Jankoller is not very fast and explosive. It's a huge disadvantage and the reason why he can't be Ibrahimovic. But again, his body is liliang very sufficient. When Gerard passed the ball, Jankole was in an offside position, but because of his slow speed, he was quickly stuck in the position by Karanka.

Karanka was on top of Jankoler in the back, denying Jankoler a chance to turn. Jankole is very recognized by everyone as a tactical center forward, because people like López, Mendieta, and Gerard can score a lot of goals this season, all relying on Jankoller's cover. However, Jankoller's own goalscoring ability is questionable in Spanish football.

Most of Jankoller's goals came with headers. It was a set-piece header or a header after a cross from two wings. Jankoller rarely scored with his feet in athletic battles. So Karanka didn't defend head-on, but held the inside to keep Jankole from having a chance to turn and face the goal. Forced Jankohler to pass the ball to other players.

However, after Jankohler was held back by Karanka, he used his body to force Karanka all the way back. Then instead of passing the ball back as they thought they would, all of a sudden they shot straight with their left foot.

On the left side of the six-yard box, it's hard to shoot from that position. Not to mention a tactical center like Jankoller who scores very few points, even those top strikers don't shoot directly from this position. Because the success rate of shots in this position is too low, and there is a defender like Karanka defending.

But Jankole was very decisive and shot straight at goal.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"The ball shot beautifully, and it shot suddenly. Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas was completely unresponsive. One to zero, one to zero. Jankoller has scored few goals for Valencia this season, but in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, he suddenly had a surge in inspiration. There was a goal against Lazio in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, a goal against Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and now another goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League final. ”

"1-0, in the seventh minute of the game, Valencia led the opponent 1-0 thanks to Jankoller's goal. Valencia have the upper hand in this Champions League final. (To be continued......)
