Chapter 260: Defensive Counterattack
On Mallorca's side, from the time Getafe scored the third goal, the players on the pitch were stunned as if they had been hit by petrification magic.
And off the field, there was also a mourning on the bench.
Many people were staring at the pitch with their heads in their hands and blank eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The third place in the first division this season will be played by a second division team like this......
Even if they are successfully promoted, they are already considered a first-class team, but they are at most a promoted horse, and they are promoted horses who have not brought in reinforcements to strengthen their strength. Is there any promoted team that doesn't bring in reinforcements after promotion? A promoted horse that is not recruited is a second division team, a second division team, even if they are league champions, no matter how strong they are, how strong can they be?
They couldn't accept the fact that they were led by two goals by Getafe.
Coach Aragonés doesn't have the leisure to sit on the sidelines. There are at least fifteen minutes left before the end of the game, not counting injury time.
He had to do something. It's a very bad situation to be two goals down, but you shouldn't give up until the end of the game.
The solution is simple, it is to continue to attack Getafe's backfield and break their offside trap with anti-offside.
It's a big deal, a desperate and crazy rush, and he doesn't believe that he can't break through Getafe's offside trap at the last moment. Even if it is filled by people, this trap should be filled?
So when everyone else was beating their chests, he called out to the captain Ngonga, and gave him a good lecture.
Ngonga then returned to the pitch with a solemn face and conveyed the manager's latest instructions to the team.
Eto'o heard it and jumped to the ground.
He knew that Getafe's tactic was a good opportunity to make the most of his speed. But always falling into the offside trap makes him very unhappy.
Now he's going to pay back this unhappiness tenfold!
"Just pass the ball forward! I'm sure I can get it! The Cameroonian, who is very confident in his speed, clenched his fists and said.
※※※
Just as Maloka was starting to teach Ngonga in person, Chang Sheng was doing the same thing, and he stopped Luis. Garcia, tell him what to do next, and then tell him to go up and tell his teammates.
Louis. Garcia had no doubts about the regular-winning adjustment, turned and ran back to the court.
Everyone has celebrated the goal and is running back. He caught up.
"I often say, let's play defense and counterattack next!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood. The coach is going to hold on to the win.
The whole team worshiped Chang Sheng. Naturally, no one was talking nonsense, and they all nodded to show that they understood.
They are very familiar with defensive counterattacks, and they don't need anything to be told by the coach.
If you say turn around, you can turn it. It's a lot easier than they play tikitaka tactics.
After all, they have been using this tactic for a season, and they are very proficient.
So when the game restarted, Mallorca rushed to break down Getafe's offside trap with a fierce attack, only to find that there was no offside trap for them to break......
In front of them were the rapidly recovering Getafe players, who huddled within their 30 metres, leaving no room for Eto'o and Luque.
Looking back, even a centre-forward like Mista has retreated to the centre circle and defended aggressively in midfield.
This is different from their previous tactics!
I was stunned for a moment. They just reacted that Getafe is shrinking the defensive line and is going to play a defensive counterattack!
yes, they're two goals ahead, and they're really entitled to shrink the defence......
The problem is that they have shrunk their defenses, what are we going to do?!
A group of Mallorca players were stunned.
Aragonés put them in an offside position. How is it reversed now?
※※※
Aragonés was also stunned.
He really didn't expect that Tikitaka, which Getafe had brought for seventy-five minutes, would suddenly defend and counterattack, and he was resolute and decisive, not dragging his feet at all......
He was shocked - it was a very correct and timely adjustment, knowing that there was a huge hole behind the back line that could be exploited by the opposition's anti-offside. So the line of defense was directly contracted...... Aren't you trying to counter offside? I'm not going to be offside! Look at how you guys are reversed!
A manager who is not yet thirty years old, and his on-the-spot command of the game is so decisive and sharp, that Aragonés really wonders if his opponent is really under 30......
Many professional players may not have such a ball quotient at his age.
Only then did Aragonés realise that he was facing a tricky opponent in this final.
It's a pity that when he realized this, it was a little late.
Otherwise, he should have been more prepared......
He should have thought that Chang Sheng would not sit still and would definitely make some changes......
Now, Aragonés is a little helpless in the face of the stubbornly defending Getafe.
The veteran coach, who has been a coach in Spanish football for 27 years, can't figure out how to recover the decline.
Everyone is playing defensive counter-attacks, and they must be well aware of the threat of defensive counter-attacks.
If Getafe plays a full ninety minutes of defensive counter-attacks with his Mallorca, he will be confident of taking them out. But with only fifteen minutes left, and the game was two goals down, Mallorca's morale was crumbling, and the opponent's stubborn defense at this time was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
※※※
Then Chang Sheng sent Charlie Steias, who had been claiming to be injured before, to replace ** Vic, who was diligent in the game.
This also dashed Mallorca's last hope of a comeback.
After getting into Charlesteauas, Getafe recycled, shrank in front of goal, and drove straight forward when he had the chance, just as Mallorca did with them. But unlike Mallorca, Charlie Steas is a centre-forward who can fight for the top up and keep the ball in control and wait for his team-mates to come up and pick him up, unlike Samuel Eto'o and Luque.
Mallorca lacks people in this area.
Therefore, Mallorca could not have the opportunity to attack. Getafe can.
If Mallorca don't want to concede more goals, they will have to spend more on defending, which will inevitably affect their attacking investment.
And if the troops are not enough, Eto'o, Luke, Ibargasa and others will be helpless in the face of Getafe's iron wall.
Everyone is a team that is good at counter-attacking, and Getafe's counter-attacking style has been famous this season, but it is not for nothing. It's really hard to break through their defenses. And there is not enough time left for them......
Aragonés looked at this scene and sighed.
He thought he had lost the Copa del Rey final.
He was expecting to win the fifth Copa del Rey of his coaching career.
I didn't expect to lose to a young man who was thirty-three years younger than me.
Just look at his performance in this game. First, he took advantage of a new tactic that he had never thought of to take the lead, and then when he thought that the new tactic was nothing more than that, he restrained himself from adjusting again and again. From making offsides to pressing in front, it gave him a headache.
Then, after taking a two-goal lead, he asked the team to immediately shrink the defensive line and play defensive counterattacks, completely blocking the way he planned to reverse offside.
Let him have nothing to do.
Every step is as if you are counting yourself to death.
It's really terrifying.
Aragonés looked at the players who were at a loss on the pitch and stopped rushing to the sidelines and roaring loudly.
This game was lost, there was nothing to struggle with.
※※※
By the eighty-six minute mark, the 15,000 Getafe fans in the stands were already cheering, all of them rising from their seats, singing and dancing. Cheers to the team. There were also excited Getafe fans who lit fireworks and waved them in their hands, spreading the smoke of blue and red sè.
Compared to the excited Getafe fans, Mallorca and Sevilla fans were much more silent.
In the face of such a score and game, they really don't know what to say. I thought Mallorca would have an easy time beating Getafe. They came to see the game with an outing mentality.
But who would have thought ...... From the first minute of the game, Mallorca never had the upper hand! The whole game was controlled by Getafe, and it was played with in the palm of his hand!
I finally scored a goal, and it only took ten minutes to give the opponent the lead again.
This game is really embarrassing.
Listening to the indulgent singing and cheering of those Getafe fans is even more aggrieved now.
※※※
By the time the game went into injury time, there was no one on the bench for Getafe. They all came to the sidelines, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, staring excitedly at the court.
Just wait for the referee's whistle to blow.
And in front of the coach's bench, Manuel. Garcia can't wait to celebrate with a winning hug.
This time, Chang Sheng didn't say anything like "the game is not over" with a straight face, and he also accepted Manuel with a smile. Garcia's congratulations.
Manuel. Garcia got started, and the other coaches came up to hug Chang Sheng.
Only Rudy. Gonzalez was more reserved, and this time he laughed and took him into his arms with open arms.
"It's time to celebrate, Rudy!"
"Hell, it's not over yet......" Rudy. Gonzalez struggled, but couldn't break free.
"When the game is over, we probably won't be able to celebrate like that!" Chang Sheng didn't care about him, hugged him hard, and patted his hand the back. Gonzalez grinned.
But in his heart, he was also shocked by the success of Chang Sheng.
A manager under the age of 30 with only one season and nine league games in the first team has led the team to league titles and promotions, and now they have beaten Mallorca in the much-anticipated Copa del Rey final to win the Copa del Rey!
This is the most important trophy in the history of Getafe FC!
Compared with himself, he lacks experience and his ability is not outstanding. But why was he able to succeed?
Maybe there is indeed a genius in this world? ……)
