40 Defeat magic with magic

When referee Antonio Andrew blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Mestalla stadium erupted in mourning.

Hill Jr. and Paul Futtley sat in the chairman's stand, holding back the excitement in their hearts, very, very painful.

How they wanted to rush down and cheer with the Atletico players celebrating wildly in the stadium.

But, they can't.

Because, at this moment, they are sitting next to the president of Valencia, Cortés, and the rest of the management.

1 to 3!

In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

It's a score that makes everyone smash their glasses.

Before the game, whoever guessed the outcome of the game would never have imagined that it would be such a scoreline.

It's outrageous!

It even makes people wonder if this is a match-fixing?

In the Champions League, how could Valencia, who is invincible, be kicked like this at their home stadium?

But those who are familiar with La Liga will know that this cannot be match-fixing.

Because no one can afford Valencia's asking price.

It's about the Champions League, that's tens of millions of euros in income, who would dare to bet?

Judging from the process of the game, both teams also tried their best.

In the first half, Atletico led by two goals thanks to a brace from Hasselbaink.

After the rematch in the second half, Valencia launched another wild attack, but unexpectedly, not long after the opening, the defense lost again.

Baraja suddenly stepped up in the middle, broke the ball, and was assigned to the right side.

Aguilera got past Fresnedoso, burst to the right side of Valencia's penalty area, and passed the ball to Hasselbaink, who made a decisive effort into the box.

After Hasselbaink stopped the ball near the right-hand touchline of the penalty area, he couldn't take advantage of Pellegrino's defence and couldn't turn around, but was smart enough to pass the ball back to Aguilera.

The captain of Atletico Madrid made a light pick in the penalty area, and on the left side of the small penalty area, Belleron followed up with a close-range header, 3-0!

This goal made Valencia completely lose confidence.

Cooper made an immediate substitution, replacing the underperforming Gerard with Albelda to strengthen the team's defensive depth in midfield.

The substitutions barely steadied the defence, while Valencia's stars were also threatening.

Mendieta forced a chance to win the ball on the right flank, playing a clever pass to Lopez, a bug in the box, who slotted home an easy shot to pull one back for Valencia.

It was only the 63rd minute of the game.

Valencia fans have rekindled their hopes and the players are actively planning their attacks.

Yang Hao made decisive substitutions, making two consecutive substitutions in the 65th and 70th minutes respectively, strengthening the team's defense and stabilizing the position again, and then the game completely entered a stalemate.

Especially in the 81st minute, Mendieta was already a little unable to hold on, and Cooper had to make a substitution.

At this moment, the game is basically over.

In the end, Atletico beat Valencia 3-1 away to claim another valuable victory.

……

"Spell it out, Paul, he really spelled it down!"

Little Hill grabbed Paul Futrey's hand excitedly, and his voice trembled and choked, showing his excitement and excitement at this moment.

The Portuguese is no better, and his feelings for this Atletico side are still very strong.

"All of them felt that I was fooled by Yang Hao, but how did they know what Yang Hao told me? I'm not a fool, I don't have the slightest real material, will I be fooled by him? ”

Little Hill also seems to have been holding back in his heart for a long time, and now he can finally vomit quickly.

If nothing else, just rush to the past three duels, Yang Hao has already proved himself.

From now on, who will question Atletico's decision to hire Yang Hao?

"I really didn't expect it!" Paul Futtre is also a mixed bag.

I'm afraid this is something that no one expected, right?

At first, the entire Atletico management thought it was a crazy decision, including Paul Futtrey.

But now it seems that it is precisely this crazy decision that is saving Atletico.

Regardless of whether he can succeed in relegation this season, Yang Hao has already impressed the entire European football world.

……

Compared with the arrogance that did not smile when shaking hands before the game, after the game, when Cooper came over to shake hands with Yang Hao, the expression on his face was obviously much more relaxed, and at the same time, he looked a lot lonely.

"You guys had a good performance tonight and you deserved this win." Cooper could afford to lose.

One sentence changed Yang Hao's impression of him a lot.

"Thank you, the most important thing is that you are fighting on two fronts, and the consumption is too great."

Cooper smiled slightly, this is a comforting statement, as a professional head coach, Cooper knows better than anyone that Valencia is really defeated, and it is completely defeated.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You say."

"How did you come up with tonight's tactics?"

When asking this question, Cooper's eyes stared at Yang Hao, as if he wanted to see the changes in Yang Hao's expression, even the most subtle movements, and then judge how true the answer Yang Hao gave.

Even if he loses, he has to know how he lost.

"Intuition." Yang Hao didn't think much about it, and replied directly.

"Intuition?" Cooper raised his voice, a little surprised.

"I've watched a lot of your Valencia games this season, especially some of the big games, and I've looked at some of the games you've lost, so I think it should work with the way you played tonight, counter-attacking your counter-attacks."

Speaking of this, Yang Hao grinned, "I didn't expect that I was right." ”

It's called defeating magic with magic.

Are you sure?

Cooper looked at Yang Hao with some suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't ask.

He never believed that Yang Hao was gambling, because gambling people would not have such determination and fighting spirit.

Atletico Madrid has been forced by Valencia to be extremely embarrassed before the goal, and even after the goal, it can even be said that as long as Valencia passes any ball in place, Atletico Madrid is finished.

At such a critical juncture, the gambler must be shaken.

But Yang Hao has always insisted.

He not only insisted on himself, but even the players of Atletico Madrid insisted on it, which proves that they must have passed the gas before the game, and Yang Hao must have told the players all the difficulties that they would encounter in the game and reached a consensus.

Is this still gambling?

But Cooper felt that the reason why Yang Hao said this was purely to make him feel better.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more.

"Good luck, lad!" Cooper said goodbye to Yang Hao.

"After tonight, the situation of your relegation will be completely reversed, but the next opponent will also pay more attention to you, I really hope you can lead the team to success in relegation, this will be a legend!"

Yang Hao nodded slightly, "Thank you." ”

From beginning to end, Cooper has an unsmiling face, and it looks like he's a really rigid and stubborn guy.

But he's a very good manager.

Yang Hao didn't like Cooper very much in his previous life because of Ronaldo, but he had an in-depth understanding of professional football, especially during the turn of the century, Cooper led two teams to the finals of the European competition for three consecutive years, but finally failed to win the championship, Yang Hao's impression of him has changed.

After tonight, he stopped hating Cooper.

……

As soon as the match at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia ended, the whole of Spain was completely fried.

First of all, from the Internet, countless netizens are discussing, especially the websites and forums of major newspapers.

No one could have imagined that Atletico would beat Valencia 3-1 away and score three goals in a row.

What is it?

It was indisputably defeated the opponent.

Before the game, almost everyone looked down on Atletico Madrid, but unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid slapped the doubter in the face during the game.

If the first two rounds of matches are still questionable, after all, the Copa del Rey against Barcelona is not very strong, and Yang Hao's two consecutive wins are considered by many people to be relatively large.

But now, facing the strong Valencia, Atletico's victory has completely proved itself.

Yang Hao's name has become the focus of discussion among netizens and fans on major websites and forums.

Everyone wants to know, how did this young marshal, who is only 25 years old, do it?

What Ranieri, Antich and other famous coaches can't do, why can?

Many professionals have also published columns, believing that Yang Hao is the key to Atletico Madrid's three consecutive wins, and in these three games, he used three different sets of tactical play styles according to different opponents, which can be said to fully interpret the art of coaching.

"Especially against Valencia, anyone who has watched the game or broadcast it live will be particularly impressed, because Atletico's defense can be described as leaky and does not give Valencia even the slightest chance."

'At full time, Valencia had 16 shots on goal but only one on target, creating a goal.

"It's not that Valencia is too inefficient, it's that Atletico's defense is too targeted."

"Cooper's team was almost completely frozen in attack, including Mendieta, including the likes of Lopes and Angullo, all of them were under the iron wall of Atletico Madrid, doing nothing."

Yang Hao's tactics for Atletico Madrid have been more and more recognized, especially after defeating Valencia, he has become a domestic figure in Spain in a very short period of time.

But soon, many media and fans realized a problem, that is, they didn't know much about Yang Hao.

Because since coaching Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao has been completely ignored by the media and fans, but behind the ignorance is contempt, and in a fit of anger, he simply did not attend the press conference and refused to accept all media reporters.

Up to now, looking at the world, there is not even an in-depth report about Yang Hao, let alone an exclusive interview with Yang Hao.

This makes everyone even if they want to boast, they don't know where to boast for a while.

I really didn't know how to praise it, so Cooper sent it to them.

The Argentine said in his post-match press conference, when asked by the media what he thought of the game, that his side did lose to Atletico Madrid, which was nothing to hide, but he still stressed that Valencia would qualify for next season's Champions League.

"I'm confident about that!"

For Yang Hao, Cooper also expressed his affirmation unabashedly.

"After the game, I chatted with him for a while, I don't know how to describe him, I think, there have been many outstanding talents born on the football field, and Yang Hao should be a genius in the coach's seat!"
