Vol 5 Chapter 34: Counterattack

After watching many reports and watching several videos of the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Valencia coach Emery believes that Atlético de Madrid has a much stronger offense than last season, but their defense is also correspondingly worse A lot, so Valencia must not passively choose to defend if he wants to win the game.

So Emery's tactics for Valencia are offensive-suppressing offense, let go of anti-suppression, and strive to play the rhythm of Atlético de Madrid.

There is nothing wrong with this tactical choice, but Valencia is not a team that has always been good at attacking. Their defense is better than attacking.

General teams and Valencia games have to have headaches to break through their defenses.

The same is true of Atletico Madrid.

Before the game started, Wan Sheng studied Valencia's defense. He kept watching the video of Valencia's game to get a detailed understanding of the team's defense layout and the ability of defenders.

Knowing oneself and knowing the other is a battle!

After increasing his understanding of Valencia, Wan Sheng also passed this information to the players so that they could play better when facing the opponent's solid defense on the playing field.

But Wansheng felt like he had done useless work.

Valencia didn't have a strict defense at all. Instead, from the first minute of the game, he let go of the match against Atletico Madrid.

What is the other party doing?

Do you want to take the lead in scoring with home advantage?

Wan Sheng couldn't understand it.

At the start of the game, Atletico Madrid played a tentative attack.

After finishing the ball, Valencia suddenly launched a quick counterattack, leaving Atletico Madrid a little caught off guard. Fortunately, the team did not press too much and did not give the opponent a chance.

Valencia's best play is defensive counterattack, so it's no surprise to see them play like this.

But the next thing is different.

In the positive advancement, Valencia's frontcourt, midfielder and two full-backs all stepped forward, quite the momentum to suppress Atletico Madrid in the half.

Facing Valencia's strong offense, Atletico Madrid chose to retreat.

The same is true of Atletico Madrid's tactics. When the team is on the defensive side, the three fronts are fully compressed backwards to squeeze the opponent's offensive space to ensure the safety of the defense and goal.

Seeing Atletico Madrid retreat to their own half, Valencia players were immediately full of confidence.

Before the game started, head coach Emery gave them an analysis of Atletico Madrid. He said it in detail. The general idea is to strive not to let Atletico Madrid attack and to obtain a suppression situation to ensure that the team has always been in an advantage.

Atletico Madrid now retreat on the third line, just in line with Emery.

"Atletico Madrid's defense is not good! They can only withdraw the defense together on the third line to maintain the stability of the back defense, so we can keep pressing them to fight, forcing them to keep passive defense ..."

Thinking of this, Valencia players feel very happy.

Valencia is a strong team in La Liga, but in many games, they are still very depressed, because their main play is defensive counterattack, and most La Liga teams play offensive football.

No player wants their team to focus on defense. In other words, who does n’t want to play good offensive football?

So when Emery suggested that the team should let go of their hands and feet to attack, every Valencia player felt very excited and looking forward to it.

Now that the opponent's performance has fulfilled what the coach said, Valencia players have begun to think that this game will be playable and team game!

So the next two teams fought against each other.

Valencia's strength is still very strong. When they attack, their overall and threats are also quite strong. They may not be as good as Barcelona, ​​but they are still much stronger than the average La Liga middle team.

Five minutes before the game, Atletico Madrid were very passive.

Wan Sheng looked at the game and felt weird. In his view, Valencia ’s best play was defensive counterattack, but several offenses and defenses were converted. Obviously the opponent was fighting for the initiative in the midfield and fighting for his own goal The team started to suppress.

What is certain is that Valencia has absolutely no focus on defense!

But what's the point of doing this?

Wan Sheng didn't expect Valencia to play like this. If a team that is good at attacking, such as Villarreal, playing with Atletico Madrid is understandable, after all, they use the best tactical play.

Valencia?

When did this defensive counterattack team become open?

Wan Sheng thought, turning to look at the Valencia coach seat, Emery swept over like a sensor.

After the two men glanced at each other, Emery showed a "profound" smile.

It seems like ‘everything is under control’

"This is it?"

Wan Sheng wondered what advantages Valencia could have.

Fifteen minutes soon passed.

In the past time of the game, Valencia is the absolute protagonist.

They sat in the Mestalla stadium and quickly entered a state. In the cries of fans, they suppressed the Atletico Madrid attack again and again.

Atlético de Madrid looks passive. It doesn't find any good opportunities for offense. It has always been very passive on defense. The only thing is that they haven't let Valencia find any good opportunities-their goal is still relatively safe.

Perhaps the last point is important!

In Wan Sheng's view, in the previous game, the team did not make any mistakes, the defense is still relatively stable, and there is no performance on offense, mainly because the game has just started, and many players have just entered the state.

Analysing rationally, Atletico Madrid players are gradually adapting to the game, their performance is gradually getting better, and the time for controlling the ball and the frequency of offense are gradually increasing.

These are what Wansheng saw.

But Valencia's supporters certainly don't think so. The local radio commentator of Valencia 'analyzed' and said, "The game is very beneficial to Valencia. The team has a comprehensive advantage in both ball possession and offense! "

"We can expect that this will be an easy victory!"

"Although Atlético Madrid beat Barcelona at home, they could only wait for defeat at the Mestalla stadium ..."

This is obviously blind faith in Valencia.

At this point, even Valencia coach Emery saw the problem. It is very obvious that in the past time, Valencia did not even get a good opportunity.

"If Atlético Madrid's defense is not good, why did Valencia attack for fifteen minutes without even a good chance in front of the goal?"

Emery was a little puzzled.

But Emery did not want to think about it in depth. No matter how it was explained, it seemed that it would not be beneficial to the team, so he simply "hoped". This was just the time before, the team's luck was not very good.

"It must be bad luck!"

Emery gritted his teeth.

Emery is not God, and his thoughts cannot affect the ongoing game.

After nearly 20 minutes of play, most of the players have found their form. Atletico Madrid adapted to Valencia's attack and tactics began to play out.

When a wave of Valencia offense ended, football was controlled by Atletico Madrid.

Valencia is not willing to be stealing. They still want to continue to suppress Atlético de Madrid to play, so both frontcourt players want to fight back on the spot. Several midfielders did not withdraw the first time, but watched the teammates steal , It seems to mean continuing to plug in assists.

At this moment, Ozil suddenly thrust the ball straight into Asuncion's feet.

Asuncion joined Atletico Madrid two years ago. He previously played for Porto. His performance has always been ‘passable’.

During the summer transfer, Wan Sheng originally wanted to 'clean up' Asuncion, but the player couldn't sell the price, so he still left Asuncion on the team to supplement the depth of the bench.

No one expected that Asuncion would have such an outstanding performance this time!

After receiving Ozil's pass, Asuncion quickly turned around and took the ball forward with his right leg. This action just happened to pass the football and Soldado who had stepped forward.

"Pretty!"

Even the live commentator could not help but exclaim.

Asuncion might not have imagined that he could complete such a beautiful passing. He took a step forward and hesitated before giving the ball to Morris in front.

Morris gave the ball to Raúl Garcia, Raúl Garcia passed it forward and the football reached Diego Costa.

Atletico Madrid used several passes to pass the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

At this time, Valencia even had midfielders who didn't have time to retreat to their own half, and they were a little flustered overall.

"Atletico Madrid's counterattack! Their offense is too fast!"

The commentator at Mestalla Stadium was a little surprised.

Less than ten seconds ago, Valencia was still attacking, but after Atlético Madrid finished the ball, in a few passes, the football reached the front of Valencia's penalty area.

This ... is too fast!

"It is said that Valencia is good at defending counterattacks, but Atletico Madrid seems to be faster ..."

Before Valencia was attacking, they even wanted to fight back on the spot and didn't realize the danger at all, so now they have no time to return to defense.

So when Diego Costa got the ball, there was only one David Navarro to face.

David Navarro is an experienced veteran of Valencia. From 2001 to the present, he has been playing for Valencia except for a year and a half on loan to Mallorca. West Asia's main defense is unmovable.

In the one-on-one defense, David Navarro is very experienced. He stares at the ball at the foot of Diego Costa, his legs slowly move backwards, no doubt, as long as Diego Costa With a little mistake, Navarro could immediately finish the goal.

"This is a confrontation of personal abilities!"

The commentator at Mestalla Stadium thinks so ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Maybe David Navarro also hopes so, but it is a pity that Diego Costa is not alone, he made a move to break through, next For a moment, he pushed the ball to the left.

A figure followed!

Ozil!

In the rhythm of the German kid running, he swung his left foot against the football!

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the football rushed towards the goal.

Valencia goalkeeper Cesar did his best to save, but the speed of the ball was too fast. When he reached the position, the football had already flown into the goal.
