I Just Can Score

This won't work! "

"You must restrict him and follow him, otherwise it will be too dangerous!"

"Always following is not an option..."

"But, what else can be done? You must keep up, at least one person should follow you, try to restrain him, don't let him run around!"

After Zhen Shaolong helped Real Madrid score, Valencia immediately became a quarrel in the backcourt. They attributed the loss of the ball to the fact that they did not keep close defense and gave the opponent enough space to start, so that the opponent could break through and complete the goal.

"This is their tactic!"

"Despicable plot!"

Valencia concluded that Zhen Shaolong running around was a tactic devised by Pellegrini to disrupt their defense arrangement.

This tactic is also despicable.

A player running around can't be called despicable, but Zhen Shaolong's running patterns are irregular, making it difficult for them to restrict them. The key is that the opponent is the most threatening player, and they must devote a lot of energy to deal with it, which feels a bit despicable.

certainly.

Despicable just because they can't help it.

If it were any other player doing this, their conclusion would be, "Is this guy sick? Leave him alone!"

This is the reality.

In fact.

Zhen Shaolong's hard running was just his own will and had nothing to do with Real Madrid's overall tactics. It was impossible for Pellegrini to formulate such chaotic tactics.

He doesn't care about tactics at all. He just hopes to run more to increase the progress of the task. If there is a chance, he will take a shot. Judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, as long as the other party devotes energy to keeping an eye on him, it will definitely hinder part of the defense. Energy, for Real Madrid as a whole, the benefits are definitely greater than the harm.

that's enough.

While Zhen Shaolong was performing his mission, he did not want to drag down the team's game.

Others didn't know about the system tasks. They felt that Zhen Shaolong did that on purpose.

Valencia thought it was Real Madrid's tactics, while Real Madrid thought Zhen Shaolong was working harder.

Pellegrini looked at it this way, "In the last game and this game, Zhen Shaolong has been running a lot."

"Although most of the runs have no effect, they do restrain the opponent's defensive energy."

"This is rare!"

"It would be great if Zhen Shaolong can keep up this kind of effort. If his running becomes more regular, the overall effect will be greater..."

The Chileans kept analyzing.

Even if it is just disorderly running on the field, the effect is very obvious.

After the game restarted, Valencia no longer dared to let Zhen Shaolong run around, and they had to continue to send people to guard him.

Sometimes it's a person.

Sometimes it's two people.

When there are defenders defending, other players are constantly paying attention to Zhen Shaolong's direction. Zhen Shaolong alone involves too much energy, which also makes Real Madrid's other midfielders and frontcourts suddenly feel less defensive pressure.

They are very relaxed.

This relaxed environment quickly turned into an advantage.

In the 41st minute of the game, Gagon cut into the middle and completed the shot. The football was saved by goalkeeper Moya. Guti followed up and completed the supplementary shot, helping Real Madrid score the second goal.

"0 to 2!"

"Real Madrid leads by two goals away from home!"

There were noises everywhere in the stands. Valencia fans were dissatisfied with the team's performance. Real Madrid was indeed a strong team, but Valencia's home game was too depressing.

Defense, defense is not good.

The attack has yielded no results so far.

Valencia's players also wanted to play well. Defensively, their energy was held back by Zhen Shaolong, so it was normal for them to perform poorly.

at the same time.

Defense also involves offensive energy.

Zhen Shaolong attracted a lot of defensive attention, which also caused Valencia's defense to be in a hurry. Some midfielders had to retreat, and the offense could not keep up.

The Valencia midfielders were the most depressed. They found that there were frequent loopholes in the defense and had to retreat to participate in defense, but the offense could not keep up quickly.

Their retreat also caused the formation to be severely suppressed, and most attacks could only rely on counterattacks.

"This can't go on like this!"

Valencia coach Unai Emery frowned and watched the game carefully, feeling a little disappointed.

He is disappointed in himself.

Unai Emery is still relatively new to the coaching world in world football, and few outside Spain know about him.

He was born into a family of goalkeepers, but his playing career was not outstanding. He played as a midfielder during his playing days and played for Real Sociedad, Toledo, Atletico Flor, Leganes and Lorca.

In 2004, Unai Emery retired and became coach.

In just 4 years, Unai Emery has become the most promising coach in Spain. He successfully led Almeria Football Club to La Liga for the first time and performed amazingly in the 2007-08 season.

When the media predicted during the season that Almeria would be relegated from 20th place, but by April, the club had basically successfully avoided relegation and finished the season in eighth place.

Unai Emery takes a lot of credit for Almeria's success in participating in La Liga for the first time. More than 40% of the team's goals come from set pieces, which shows that its set piece tactics are quite excellent.

Unai Emery's success in coaching Almeria attracted the attention of Valencia, and he accepted the invitation to coach Valencia.

His coaching was not a success.

Valencia only ranked sixth in the league last season, but when Valencia encountered an economic crisis, experienced huge changes in the top management, and underwent a major overhaul of the lineup, it was acceptable to finish sixth in the league.

Unai Emery knows very well that for a head coach to be successful, he must continue to create miracles.

this season.

Unai Emery's goal is to lead Valencia to the top three in the league. His goal is to maintain three points and compete for two points, but when the schedule is just over halfway, he knows that it is impossible.

Barcelona did so well.

Real Madrid performed even better than Barcelona. Their results were so good that it was completely unreasonable.

Compared with Barcelona and Real Madrid, other La Liga teams seem to exist in two worlds.

Unai Emery can only lower his goal to third in the league, but he still hopes to do something, such as stopping Real Madrid, which has won consecutive games, in an official match.

This is the last chance.

Unai Emery has done in-depth research on Real Madrid, formulated a set of defensive methods against Zhen Shaolong, and emphasized the way to defeat Real Madrid, "Score more goals than Real Madrid!"

It is impossible to restrict Zhen Shaolong. We can only try to reduce his performance as much as possible, and at the same time take into account the offensive gains, there will be a chance to defeat Real Madrid head-on.

but.

Now Unai Emery finds that his strategy failed.

He was disappointed.

Is Real Madrid ahead by two goals or second? The key is Zhen Shaolong's running was so chaotic that the players on the field didn't know what to do.

What makes Unai Emery frustrated is that he doesn't know how to deal with it.

This is where the disappointment comes.

"Is it true that Valencia cannot beat Real Madrid with Zhen Shaolong?"

"Is it a lineup problem?"

"Maybe the lineup has a lot to do with it, but no team is invincible, let alone a player."

Unai Emery thought carefully.

The first half is over.

Valencia did not score, but Real Madrid only scored two goals.

From this perspective, Unai Emery's tactics were also very successful and did not give Real Madrid too many opportunities.

Unai Emery also discovered this, but he was really not happy. With two goals behind, it was too difficult to catch up.

Now he is competing more with himself, hoping to find a way to deal with Zhen Shaolong.

Half time.

Unai Emery came up with a passive temporary response method, "Switch defenses, keep switching defenses, and those who are closer will be given priority to defend. Our defense covers all positions and will not give the opponent a chance."

"Also, don't follow him for a long time, let him run!"

"As long as he is far away from the football, you don't have to follow him all the time. Real Madrid rarely passes the ball from far away. You have to be rational during the game. There is no need to waste physical energy."

Unai Emery's response method, to put it bluntly, is to tell the players in detail, telling the players how to do it rationally, rather than just following it without reason, which consumes a lot of physical energy in vain, but it is definitely treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. They still have no direct restrictions.

the other side.

The atmosphere in Real Madrid's locker room was pretty good, and most people were talking about the first half.

Granero mainly praised Zhen Shaolong, "As long as Zhen keeps running, we will definitely win!"

"That's right!"

"Zhen's running has the greatest lethality!"

“It’s hard for them to keep up!”

C-Ronaldo was sitting in the corner, listening to the discussions of his teammates, feeling very uncomfortable. The conflict between him and Pellegrini had been made public within the team.

It was reported in the media.

He didn't want to admit the conflict with Pellegrini, but he knew that as long as he didn't compromise, Pellegrini would definitely not let him play.

Before, Ronaldo felt that Real Madrid would definitely need him, but now he found that his thinking was a bit simple. Zhen Shaolong's performance was too dominant. Neither Sevilla nor Valencia could threaten Real Madrid. Naturally, Pellegrini could not I will compromise and let him appear.

The most important thing is...

When he encountered this embarrassing situation, Zhen Shaolong not only did not 'help' him, but instead tried his best to perform on the court, so active that it made people vomit blood, and it also made Real Madrid seem to be able to easily defeat their opponents.

Then.

Pellegrini has probably almost forgotten about him.

"That does not work!"

C-Ronaldo gritted his teeth and thought about it, thinking that if he continued to persevere, he would be the one who would be hurt. If he had a conflict with the head coach, what would be the good outcome?

His goal is to become the best player!

When halftime was about to pass, Ronaldo finally couldn't help it. He took a deep breath and found Pellegrini.

The two of them walked out of the room together.

All Real Madrid players were staring at the door. They knew what Ronaldo was going to do, and it must be to resolve the conflict with Pellegrini.

Higuain suddenly said excitedly, "I guess Cristiano will apologize."

Then.

He looked at Gago sympathetically, "Maybe you are going to leave the game soon, but... you may also play the whole game. If you complete the goal, the coach may not necessarily replace you."

When Higuain said this, his tone was a bit gloating.

The relationship between Higuain and Gago has not been good recently. They can only remain "superficial" friends at best, and the reason is also attributed to Luciana.

After Higuain and Luciana broke up, he would also pay attention to Luciana's news, and then he knew that Luciana had met Gago.

This is actually quite normal.

There are not many Argentines in Madrid. Luciana and Gago can be called friends. After breaking up with Higuain, she may be in a bad mood and go to Gago to complain, or simply ask about Higuain's current situation. It might happen.

but……

Higuain can't help but think too much!

Gago had been eyeing Luciana before, and she sounded very angry when they met again after breaking up with him.

Although Gago explained that he had just met and said a few polite words, and also emphasized that he had seen through Luciana's scheme, the other party deliberately met with him to disrupt the media's public opinion and gain greater exposure and increase his reputation.

Think about it.

Luciana and Higuain announced their breakup, and then got close to Higuain's teammate Gago. The gossip is full of flavor and the media will definitely hype it up.

Higuain also understands, but feels very awkward in his heart.

Even if the possibility is relatively small, he will still have doubts!

In short, Higuain took advantage of the opportunity to ridicule Gago, and Gago thought he was being generous and ignored him.

finally.

After the conversation between Pellegrini and Ronaldo ended and they returned to the locker room, everyone clearly noticed the joy on Ronaldo's face.

The second half is here.

Players from both sides return to the court and the referee blows his whistle to announce the start of the game.

Valencia's offense increased in the second half, and they obviously hoped to complete the goal. As long as they can score a goal, the situation will become different, and they will have hope of equalizing the score.

Real Madrid was a little panicked, probably because they didn't expect the opponent to attack so fiercely.

In the 49th minute, Valencia's offensive reached the edge of the penalty area, and Ramos fouled the opponent for the ball.

David Silva took a direct free kick that almost broke through Casillas's fingers.

five minutes later.

Valencia rushed forward and played a beautiful offensive from the wing. David Villa quickly dribbled the ball and shot directly from the side of the penalty area, accurately kicking the football into the far corner.

1 to 2!

Valencia recovers a goal!

"The ball went in-"

"Goooooooooooooal! Villa! Villa! Villa! Villa..."

The game commentator called Villa many times in succession and expressed his inner excitement. No one thought Valencia had a good chance, but Villa helped Valencia regain hope.

Courtside.

Pellegrini watched Valencia's celebration, took a deep breath and decided to make substitutions.

C-Ronaldo, on.

Higuain, below.

Higuain, who was walking back, almost vomited blood when he saw the substitution number. He also asked Zhen Shaolong next to him, "Is there a mistake? How could it be me?"

Zhen Shaolong nodded firmly, "There must be a mistake. You can go over and remind me."

"right!"

Higuain nodded solemnly and ran over.

C-Ronaldo gave him a big hug with joy.
