Chapter 90: Getafe's Defensive Counterattack
,
Córdoba finished 12th in the league last season, which is considered mid-table, with no worries about relegation and no hope of promotion. Judging from this ranking, it would be thought that Cordoba must have been fighting in the second division for a long time, unlike Getafe, who have been promoted from Group B of the second division.
But in reality, they, like Getafe, were promoted from last season.
It is also a promoted horse.
Cordoba have a much better fate than Getafe, having just been promoted and finishing in a decent 12th position. Getafe, on the other hand, had to fight for relegation all season and came close to relegation.
So even if he was once promoted, Cordo, from the players to the fans, has reason to look down on Getafe.
What about away from home? Didn't we beat them away from home last season?
Cordo launched a fierce attack on Getafe.
At first, they were just tentative, but then the offensive became more and more fierce.
All Córdobans thought they could score goals quickly.
But it backfired.
Ten minutes passed and Getafe's goal was solid.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the score on the big screen did not move.
Twenty minutes passed and the score remained unchanged, but Córdoba had to slow down because they were tired......
Attacking for 20 minutes is very physically demanding, and even if you are a professional athlete, there is no guarantee that they can maintain a high tempo for dozens of minutes.
Many of Córdoba's players have shown signs of a significant decline in physical strength.
They gasped and looked at Getafe's goal in dismay.
I can't figure out why they still can't find the back of the net against Getafe.
In last season's game, it was because they chose to take the initiative to avoid it, but what about today?
Or is it actively avoided?
※※※
'Getafe's defence was solid and completely flawless. This is the quintessential winning style. In Spanish football, which advocates attack, he has raised the banner of strict defense. Although it has been criticized by many people. I think it's not good-looking and negative, but the effect is really good. With this set of tactics, they managed to survive relegation in ten league rounds. Now facing the onslaught of Córdoba, who finished twelfth last season, their backline has not conceded a goal......"
The commentator, Claspoo, was talking endlessly when he saw the monitor screen in front of him appear in front of him, and the Getafe coach's seat was hereby written.
Obviously, the game director also knows that Chang Win is the most crucial person in this team.
After the sale of Pieneda, this Getafe has not had any outstanding stars.
Whether it's Vic, or Keku, or Gimenez, Canizares, these people are not very famous.
Even fools can see that this Getafe team is emphasizing the whole.
"Young Chinese coaches always win. He is only 28 years old this year. It's too young, and a lot of people are still playing at this age. Even as a coach, he still has experience in a ladder team, but he became the head coach of Getafe's first team by chance. When he took office. The whole world is not optimistic about him. But in the end, he handed in a perfect answer sheet that left all the doubters speechless! It only took nine league games for him to lead the team to relegation! ”
"Now in the new season, judging by the 20 minutes of play, he has done a very good job, and the team's defense is a better level than last season......
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Chang Sheng in the camera and yawned!
Even the experienced Chryspoo had a short-circuit in his head in an instant.
He didn't know what to say about it.
Didn't Chang Sheng sleep well yesterday?
So all the spectators who watched the game in front of the TV saw such a strange scene - Chang Sheng yawned in the picture, and it was as if the TV was silenced. Claispow's commentary also came to an abrupt end.
※※※
"Heh-" Chang Sheng raised his head and yawned, he didn't hide it.
Next to him, assistant coach Rudy, who was staring intently at the court. Gonzalez couldn't help but turn his head to look at him: "I was so nervous, so you didn't sleep all night yesterday?" ”
"You're nervous." Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, "These twenty minutes of the game are too boring, and Córdoba's attack is not so sharp......"
Córdoba scored forty-six goals last season and finished in the middle of the second division in the entire league. It's not top-notch, but it's definitely a lot.
At least more than Getafe's.
Although only six more balls...... That's a lot too.
"It's always right to be well prepared before a race." Manuel. Garcia also joined the conversation.
"Of course, of course." Chang Sheng nodded. "I'm just a little disappointed."
"I'm so happy." Manuel. Garcia said with a smile, "It shows that our work over the summer is worth recognizing, and all the hard work has paid off." I wouldn't say we defended the best in the second division, but at least we could be at the top. Often, I think I've now come to appreciate what you call the importance of defense. While 95 percent of Spain's teams are talking about attack, it's true that defense is more important. Last season's game in Getafe, I would never have dared to talk to the manager so easily. ”
Chang Sheng said twice, and then he felt that he couldn't continue to sit in the coach's seat, otherwise he would really fall asleep. Then he could become the first manager in world football to fall asleep while directing his own team's matches.
So he got up from the dugout, then walked to the sidelines, squatted down, pulled a stick of grass from the ground, and put it in his mouth.
It's just that defense can't do it, and in the end it has to fall to offense.
Louis. Garcia didn't start this game, but the team's attack was smooth.
If he continued to play like this, he felt that it was only a matter of time before he scored a goal.
He has already seen that the players of Córdoba are already a little discouraged.
Based on his experience in 10 league games last season, he knows it's a good time for us to score.
Now it's up to the frontcourt to see if they can take their chances.
In this match, Vicky replaced Luiz. Garcia plays left winger.
Chang Victorious uses his speed.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Carlos in the backcourt. Campo a tackle. Tackle the ball of the opposing dribbler. Although he was not able to control the ball himself.
However, the football rolled to the other side and was picked up by another midfielder, Senna.
After winning the ball, Senna kept in mind the manager's tactical requirements.
When switching from defense to offense. Take the ball at the back, be decisive and fast, as long as the opportunity is right, do not hesitate to pass the football forward, the goal? Naturally, it's looking for Charlie Steias!
Senna immediately made a long pass, and the ball flew through the air towards the high school striker Charleste Steas who was in front.
※※※
The team has been on the defensive, except for the defence and the defending.
As the only center forward in the Getafe team who does not ask for a return to defense, Charlie Steas is a little depressed, because he can only watch his teammates appear in the TV camera in front of him, envious and anxious - when will it be his turn to appear on TV!
It was at this time. He saw Carlos. Campo shovels the ball down. Then Senna, who was next to him, ran over and took control of the football.
A summer of hard training showed its worth in this moment.
As soon as Charlie Steas saw Senna get the ball, he immediately reacted - the team was about to fight back!
Lao Tzu's chance to show up!
Charlie Steias yelled excitedly in his heart, but he hadn't forgotten what he was supposed to do.
He quickly ran to the spot where the ball landed.
Of course, the opposing central defenders naturally saw this landing point.
At this time, the competition is pure physical fitness.
At this point, though...... Charlie Steas is very confident!
Make sure that the whole of Spanish football knows my name Charlie Steas!
He looked up at the ball and jumped high on the spot!
※※※
The captain of Córdoba is thirty-three-year-old Juan. Carlos. Mandia, who is also the team's main centre-back. On many occasions. His wealth of experience has benefited the team a lot.
This time, though, he found that his vast experience couldn't help.
Because it's a battle that doesn't have to do with experience!
As soon as he jumped up, he was pushed aside by the big nine man from Getafe and lost his position!
With a complete loss of gravity, he looked up and found that the opponent shook his head and threw the football to the right of the defense area, the opponent's left side!
The two landed almost at the same time. Carlos. Mandya was still stumbling and Charlie Steas had turned and rushed into the box.
This is Getafe's counterattack!
And it seems. They seem to be going to succeed!
The old captain turned his head to look down the wing, hoping that Getafe's wide players would not be able to get the ball under pressure from their team-mates.
To his delight, full-back Javier. Ruiz is pressing on Getafe's winger Vic.
But in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened!
Because he found that ** Vic did not mean to control the ball, he directly sent the incoming ball diagonally forward!
And at this time, Córdoba's side is empty!
The full-backs have all gone to the ribs to defend the *** vic. The side road is naturally empty!
※※※
The ball didn't roll fast on the turf, but it still went straight to the baseline.
If no one can catch up with the football, then the ball will just roll off the line, maybe this is a failed attack by Getafe?
No!
The commentator Clespo exclaimed: "Italians! ”
In the camera, a figure running at high speed appeared, it was Getafe's Italian left-back Barzaretti!
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, only to see the Italian sprint along the flank, finally catching up before the ball was almost off the line, and then he didn't stop the ball and adjusted, and went straight to the high-speed run to make a difficult cross!
The ball arcs in the air and goes straight to the back of the goal!
The attention of the Córdoba players in front of the goal was attracted by Barzaretti's wild run, and when their eyes moved back with the football, they were surprised to find that in front of them, a tall figure was jumping!
"Angelos. Charlie Steias—"
Chryspow snuffed out, his voice hissing.
※※※
Chang Sheng stood up from the ground, he still had a stalk of grass in his mouth, but he didn't bother to chew it.
He just looked at Charlesteau as he soared into the air.
At that moment, he seemed to see four years later in Portugal, this figure also jumped high, the lion shook its head, and then ...... A myth was born!
At this moment, the same myth is about to be born!
This is the first game of the new season for Getafe, and the promotion legend of a ** silk team will kick off from this moment!
※※※
Charlistias had no opponent at all, because when he jumped in the air, none of the Cordoba players jumped, they could only stand on the ground and look up at the Greeks in the air.
It was really unexpected that such a big man could have such a good jump......
Charlie Steas greeted the flying football, a lion shook his head!
There was a muffled bang, and the corner of his forehead hit the football.
Then the ball flew straight to the goal.
Córdoba's goalkeeper Jose. Ramón reacted to Charlesteauas and watched as the ball flew into the goal he was keeping......
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
In the roar of Claispo, Alfonso. Perez Stadium is boiling!
