Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 696

The broken ball was caught by Makelele, and Essien in front of him immediately started running. In front of him, Nie Fei had already moved to the center. Ribery started sprinting on the left, and Mai on the right The hole is plugged in at high speed, too!
"It's now!" Mourinho clenched his fists.

This is the perfect fast counterattack in his mind. It has layers, direction, sideways, center, and there are people everywhere to respond. Exhausted.

Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic and Ribery can all serve as the core of the midfield - he is very familiar with Ribery, even more familiar than Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic, he knows that Ribery is not just a winger Just a player, he is a standard modern full-back - able to hit and play, able to break through and organize.

One core can be stared down, and two cores can also be controlled, but what about three cores?Few teams can control the opponent's three offensive cores in one go, let alone when Newcastle has three players who can take on the important task of organizing the offense, then their tactics will not be limited to a small circle, but Become more flexible and more elusive.

Just like now.

Makelele didn't let the ball stay at his feet for long, and immediately hit Essien's feet with a direct pass, and Essien didn't stop the ball, and quickly passed the ball to Nie Fei's feet near the center circle.

After Nie Fei took the ball, he did not go to the center guarded by Albelda, but took the ball to the left. Ribery ran towards him, and the two ran a cross exchange. In an instant, Ribery kicked across and kicked the ball to Maicon who was plugging in from the right.

Maicon took a step forward after receiving the ball, and then immediately made a wide-range transfer and passed the ball to the left!
Nie Fei, who was running without the ball, had already advanced a long distance. After beautifully unloading the ball that spanned the entire half, Nie Fei started to move forward with the ball!
After a few quick passes back and forth, Valencia's defense line had been stretched to pieces. Nie Fei dunked the ball back beautifully under Moretti's defense, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area!

Ibrahimovic took the ball in the penalty area, and Ayala stuck close to him. Although there is a huge gap in height, the Argentine iron guard will not be afraid of it!
But Ibrahimovic is so big after all, he can protect the ball by moving his body a little. It is obviously unwise to let a big man with such excellent foot skills hold the ball for too long in the penalty area. Marchena moved over I took a step forward and planned to pinch Ibrahimovic. Anyway, Ibrahimovic is now facing Shearer, so he should not be able to see the passing route.

At this moment, Ibrahimovic suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and passed the ball to Shearer!

Marchena was taken aback—how did he know Shearer was right behind him?It is absolutely impossible to see it from this angle, and he didn't look back...

Of course, Ibrahimovic doesn't have eyes on the back of his head, and he didn't have such a tacit understanding with Hiller. The reason why he knew that Hiller was behind him was because Nie Fei yelled at him in a low voice: "Behind me, five meters!"

I stayed in the same team with Nie Fei for a year, and the two have a good personal relationship. Although Ibrahimovic is not a language genius, I can still understand a few simple words, which is how this seemingly incredible assist was formed. !
Shearer volleyed before Marchena returned to defense. Faced with this close-range shot, Canizares had nothing to do!

"One to zero! Newcastle scored a goal in just 2 minutes, a beautiful quick counterattack!"

"It's unbelievable! Newcastle showed their quick counterattacks in the Champions League last season, but Valencia didn't have any defenses! What is Ranieri doing?"

"It's the exquisite coordination of Newcastle's front three! This offensive combination was invincible in last season's Champions League and swept most of Newcastle's goals. Since the beginning of this season, it has not performed so well, but from just now We saw in the goal that this set of tridents is undiminished!"

Numerous commentators used various languages ​​to explain their views on this goal, but Ranieri shook his head a little annoyed. It's not that he didn't notice the opponent's quick counterattack. Great efforts have been made in this regard, but compared with last season, the quality of Newcastle's counterattack seems to have gone up to a new level!
"Damn it, didn't they perform poorly in the league?" Ranieri thought bitterly in his heart.

It seems that I am still a little careless. How can I say that their outstanding performance last season is not accidental, so it is necessary to focus on them.

Thinking like this, Ranieri completely forgot the other two people who played an important role in this attack. Ribery's ball and Maicona's just right long pass are the cornerstones of this attack.

"Valencia's defense should be very strong. Why did it get worse after Ranieri, the Italian coach, came?" Pei Wei asked with some doubts.

Mourinho smiled: "It's not that their defense has deteriorated, but our offense has become stronger...Of course, this goal also brought a little luck, they pressed a little bit higher, and our counterattack very efficient."

**************************************
Conceding a goal in the opening 2 minutes, which was rare in the previous Valencia, they have always been the strongest defensive team in La Liga, whether it is the Cooper era or the Benitez era, after conceding a goal they There was a brief panic, but they, who have a strong team background, quickly stabilized their emotions and began to launch a violent counterattack.

Vicente and Rufete on the two wings are very active. Maicon's defensive ability is indeed inferior to his offense. Although he also performed very well in one-on-one with Vicente, it still makes him The opponent got a lot of opportunities.

It's just that, although Valencia has a certain advantage on the side, it can't turn the advantage into a victory. Aimar in the center is difficult to get away from Essien, whose speed and strength are faster than his own. Makelele's forward advance was blocked by Makelele, and Nie Fei's breakthrough in the middle was also scrupled. As a single arrow, Diwayo seems to have not been able to integrate into the team. The attack directly caused Valencia's attack to look lively, but it did not pose too much threat to the gate guarded by Cech. A few long-range shots were also easily confiscated by Cech.

On the contrary, Newcastle played with ease. A one-goal lead allowed them to counterattack comfortably, using the speed and skills of the frontcourt players to give Valencia a headache-in many games last season This is how Newcastle Central played, and they were handy in this kind of counterattack.

Now Valencia is in a very embarrassing situation. The offense can't start the situation, and the opponent's counterattack threatens his goal at any time. , How awkward it is to play.

The first half ended with Valencia's awkwardness and Newcastle's occasional counterattack. Newcastle did not have the opportunity to press down on Valencia, but Valencia's defense became extremely good when facing the offense of the field. , The entire defense line was well organized, making it difficult for Newcastle's offense to form a shot. Instead, they used this opportunity to fight back several times, but fortunately they were destroyed one by one by Cech.

When Aimar shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and flew over the crossbar, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Relying on a counterattack at the beginning of the game, Newcastle entered the locker room with a [-]-[-] lead.

"We are in the lead, it's gratifying." When the players arranged their clothes and rested for 10 minutes, Mourinho spoke. As soon as he spoke, the noisy locker room immediately became quiet.

"Many people think that the Super Cup is the last warm-up game before the official start of the league, but I don't think so, the Premier League has already started four rounds, we don't need to wait until now to warm up... It is an honor , and a very important honor. Last year we were the champions of the European Cup, we were the European champions, but for Valencia, they can also consider themselves European champions because they are the champions of the UEFA Cup. So who was the real king, the real champion of Europe last season? The winner of this match!"

Mourinho waved his arms: "So, now let us use this victory to prove to everyone that Newcastle was the well-deserved king of Europe last season, the well-deserved champion! What UEFA Cup champion, give the Champions Cup The champion is not worthy of lifting shoes! We were the king of Europe last season!"

Some players waved their arms and roared, and Mourinho's words deeply moved them, yes, we were the champions of the Champions League last season, but at the same time there is another champion in Europe-the UEFA Cup champions, only to defeat them They can prove that they are the best team in Europe last season, the well-deserved king of kings!
"Let's go! There are still 45 minutes! After 45 minutes, our names will be left in history, proving to everyone that the 03-04 season belongs to Newcastle's season!"

The players stood up and raised their fists and roared. Pei Wei who was standing at the door opened the door. Mourinho pointed to the door tacitly: "Let's go, my warriors!"
