Chapter 241: Script
Emery is not wrong, Wansheng is for Valencia, only to make adjustments to the formation and personnel matching, the strongest in Valencia at present is the middle, and the left and right sides are not a little bit worse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tino Costa in the middle, Pablo Hernandez and Valencia's top scorer Soldado are all very good players, and most of Valencia's goals in the game also come from the middle, so the middle must be defended well.
Using the method of defending with three central defenders, the team will not be short of people in the middle, and the defense is enough to ensure it.
As long as they can defend the goal and don't let Valencia play in the middle, Atletico Madrid has won most of the games, and the rest is the team's performance, that is, the goal.
――――
Valencia Club President Llorente sat on the podium, watching the game with a calm expression, several cameras pointed over, and his face did not change in the slightest.
Before the game, Llorente spoke arrogantly.
Atletico Madrid supports the media, dismissing that as 'Llorente's madness' – Valencia going to triumph at the Stadio Calderón? Not to mention the current Atletico Madrid, even a few years ago, Valencia did not dare to say such things.
Did Llorente do it on the spur of the moment without a brain?
Of course not.
If Llorente was such an impulsive person, he would not have been able to become the president of the Valencia club of 'power-profit-fight-fierce'.
Before facing the media, Llorente was carefully considered, and as president of the club, he naturally considered it from a different angle than manager Unai Emery.
Llorente needs to think about the overall development of the club.
In June 2009, former Valencia president Vicente Soriano resigned as president under pressure, and before Soriano, chairman Sorensen also resigned due to debt pressure, and then the two sold Valencia shares and also performed a farce of 'hiring a murderer', which ended in Sorensen's arrest.
Llorente was forced to take office, and by the time he took office, Valencia had a debt of 450 million euros.
If it's just high debt, at most deal with the Spanish government and banks, just like the little Hill did for Atletico Madrid, the most important thing is that every year Valencia's fiscal deficit will be in deficit, that is, Valencia's debt is rising every year.
Llorente's most important job in charge is to make the club break even each year.
After Llorente took office, Valencia broke even by playing in the Champions League and selling players, but everyone knows that sooner or later this balance will be broken, and Valencia cannot have good players to sell every year, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to qualify for the Champions League every year.
Valencia are already on the brink of the most dangerous and the team's financial crisis has reached a limit.
When UEFA's 'principle of fair financial competition' is truly implemented, Valencia will even lose its qualification for the Champions League, and at that time, if there is no foreign money to invest, Valencia is likely to declare bankruptcy directly.
That's just horrible!
Llorente didn't dare to imagine it, but he knew very well that if Valencia wanted to rise, it had to solve the financial problem, and the key to solving the financial problem was actually to increase income, and in terms of increasing income, the success of television broadcasting was very important.
Atletico Madrid's televised conference was split, so why not invite Valencia?
Is it because of Llorente's arrogance?
Of course not.
The most important thing is that Valencia still has a two-year contract with Pro Broadcast TV, and even if Llorente is invited, he will only be a spectator of the new TV share contract, just like the president of Real Sociedad.
So the key issue is actually the contract, Valencia wants to increase the share of TV broadcasting, it is impossible to continue to stay in the framework of Pro Radio Satellite TV, so they can only reduce a lot of income, but the contract has been signed, the statute of limitations has not yet arrived, and the only possibility of leaving is that Pro Radio TV will give up automatically.
There are only a few clubs under the umbrella of Pro Broadcasting, and if they are completely squeezed out of the broadcast market by Sky TV, then they will definitely consider giving up the big cake of La Liga broadcasting, after all, no businessman will make a loss-making business.
What does Valencia do as one of those clubs?
The answer is disappointing.
When Pro Broadcasting TV finds that the club they signed is performing poorly, at least not as well as Sky TV's club, they are more likely to consider giving up La Liga TV, or consider selling their signed club to Sky TV.
It's a great partnership.
British Sky TV can monopolize the broadcast market of La Liga, and PRO Radio TV will not lose too much.
So this Valencia challenge to Atletico Madrid is a win or lose, the best is a big win or a big defeat, which attracts the attention of all the Spanish media and European media, Llorente does not want to see a close game, it will not make any sense.
As for the loss of fame that the defeat brought to Valencia...... Isn't there a manager Unai Emery? A real scapegoat!
Llorente never valued Emery.
If Valencia's television bills drop significantly next season, the deficit will become even more severe, and Llorente himself will no longer be able to remain in the presidency, and he will not be able to manage the rest of the people.
――――
Wan Sheng didn't know Llorente's dangerous idea of 'walking a tightrope', but the game in front of him was something that had to be fought for.
Atletico Madrid is full of fighting spirit.
At the Calderón Stadium, with the cheers of nearly 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans, Atletico Madrid took the initiative as soon as the game began.
They are constantly attacking the Valencia goal!
Valencia also played with determination, but their players didn't feel very good, because every time the team pushed forward and attacked, it was difficult to break down the Atletico Madrid defence, and the opponents were constantly threatening.
Not long after the start of the game, the targeted formation arranged by Wansheng has already had an effect.
Atletico Madrid has three central defenders, plus Morris as a midfielder, Atletico Madrid's central defense is like an impregnable wall, and Valencia's central attack is difficult to break into.
Athletic's attack was smooth, with subtle coordination and always getting the ball to a dangerous position.
As a result, the fans and the media saw that the two sides actually attacked and defended each other, but Atletico Madrid can always create threats, while Valencia's attack cannot play a threatening attack at all.
Over time, the situation changed.
When it was found that the offensive could not find a chance, Valencia was somewhat suppressed.
Atletico Madrid took the initiative.
This kind of game situation reassured Wan Sheng, a smile appeared on his face, and Fan Zhiyi next to him began to analyze the game.
Valencia's defense, in fact, is also doing well, they are targeting the core of Atletico Madrid's frontcourt, before the core of the front court was Morris, then J Rodriguez, and now this position has become Isco.
J Rodriguez started the whole game in a row and needed a round of rest, so Isco fell from the left to the middle.
Whether it is the reporters in the media gallery, the fans in the stands, or the Valencia players on the field, they all have a common opinion, that is, they are not optimistic about Isco as the core of the front court at all.
Isco is a bit famous, but he's still too young.
Not to mention compared to Morris, compared to J Rodriguez, he looks too young and immature, even if Isco performed well before, but after all, he is a new player last season, and he has always been a player on the fringes of Atletico Madrid's main force.
For many people, Atletico Madrid's substitute is actually not bad, but Valencia players don't see it that way, they are also big stars, and they don't care about a Spanish star at all, because when they were young, they were also 'geniuses' and 'new stars' in various countries.
The Valencia players went on defense with contempt.
If the opponent is Morris or J. Rodriguez, they will be very jealous, and the young Spaniard in front of them --
"It's too tender!"
――――
When Isco got the ball again, Pablo Hernandez rushed straight over, intending to take advantage of Isco's instability with the ball and directly cut off the ball and launch a counterattack.
But when the football came, Isco didn't look back at all, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and his whole body tilted to the left.
The action was like to stop the ball with his left foot, Hernandez directly paved it, but what he didn't expect was that Isco leaned over, let the ball behind him, and then twisted his body again, turned his center of gravity, and ran forward to chase the ball.
Hernandez found himself easily blocked by the other party.
Isco easily got rid of Hernandez with a brilliant stoppage and then continued to dribble forward.
At this time, Banega killed from one side.
Banega is not easy to deal with, before the game, Wan Sheng specially told the players to pay attention to Banega, because he is the core of Valencia's organization and attack, seeing Banega rushing from the flank, Isco did not covet the ball anymore, he quickly transferred the ball and handed it to Raul Garcia on the diagonal side.
Banega rushed to Isco's side, and when he saw the opponent pass the ball first, he also stopped, giving up on continuing to defend closely.
Isco didn't stop and continued to run forward to pick up a pass from his team-mate.
Isco is the core of the front court in this game, he has a big offensive task, Isco is not without experience of the core position, last season, he started twice as the core of the front court, and once in the Copa del Rey before, he is not a rookie in this position, and he knows what to do at any time.
Seeing Isco's performance, Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, Wansheng did not intend to let Isco immediately become the core of the frontcourt, for a young player, or should not be given direct restrictions on positioning, compared with his peers, Isco is already quite good, but in fact, he does not have an exact position, before Isco played more on the left side, Wansheng wants to let Isco adapt to the middle of the road, to see what this young man will perform when he leads the team to play against Valencia as the core of the frontcourt.
So far, Isco has done a good job.
Wan Sheng is quite satisfied with Isco's performance, in fact, he also did this to give more options in the middle of the midfield, the core of a team is very important, Atletico Madrid is no exception, before the attacking core was Morris, now J Rodriguez is already competent, but J Rodriguez alone is definitely not enough.
What if one day he gets hurt? What if one day he is not in a good state? What if he plans to leave in the summer?
There are many possibilities in professional football, and Wan Sheng has to prepare more hands, so he asked Isco to adapt to the core position, especially the game against Valencia, which is a very important training opportunity.
Many people are also beginning to find out that Isco is doing a good job in the middle, and he does not have the immaturity of a young man. As the core of Atletico Madrid's frontcourt, in such an important position, he still plays very steadily.
Isco is also very active.
From the back to the front, no matter where the football is, he can always be seen, either he is carrying the ball himself, or he is passing, he constantly runs and pulls the opponent's defense, and every time he goes to the front, he is often just to pass a kick, but this kick is often very crucial, and it is easy for Atletico Madrid to find opportunities and threaten the Valencia goal.
Isco's activity made Valencia feel uncomfortable, they didn't expect that this substitute Ozil played on the left side, and he could play so well in the middle, they wanted to defend tightly, but Isco's range of movement was too large, and they couldn't intercept effectively.
Under Isco, Atletico Madrid's advance was fluid.
At this time, everyone knew that Wansheng put Isco in the middle for a reason, Isco is no longer a newcomer, he can be used as an excellent frontcourt core, compared to J-Rodriguez, Isco also has a big advantage, that is, his physical fitness.
Isco is more physically fit than J Rodriguez, and he has been constantly running throughout the game, covering a wide range of areas, which has added a lot of control to his midfield.
In Isco's constant running, Atletico Madrid continued to suppress Valencia and took the initiative in the situation, Valencia suddenly felt depressed, and many Valencia players thought of the battle between the two teams in the first half, wasn't that the game like this?
Atletico Madrid kept it under pressure and they were a threat of attack...... Then score a goal.
The 'script' still seems to be like this!
By the time many Valencia players thought about it, Atletico Madrid had already played the ball to the edge of the box. (To be continued.) )
