The strongest winger

Chapter 115 The Great Ramos

******
"Beep-"

With the whistle of the referee, the No.04 fifth round of La Liga in the 05-30 season, the home team Valencia vs. Sevilla officially started.

In this game, Valencia made multiple position adjustments. Caponi, who just turned 40 this season, replaced Navarro and Italian Moretti as a central defender. No adjustments were made on the full-backs. In the midfield, Angulo and Baraja, who returned from injury, partnered with central midfielders. The two full-backs were David Silva and Albiol, and the double forwards were Corradi and Aiello.

Although Aiello played as a striker in the official starting lineup, he ran to the familiar left winger position after the game started, while David Silva ran to the right winger position. Albiol, Baraja and Angulo were in the middle. Among them, Angulo was responsible for organizing the offense and threading the needle, and Albiol and Baraja were responsible for interception and protection.

In less than a minute of the game, when Ai Luo turned around to catch the ball and was about to turn around and break through, Ramos rushed up from the side and kicked him to the ground with the ball. Ramos took the lead in giving Ai Luo a blow.

In order to control the scale, the referee on duty only gave Ramos a slight warning, did not show a yellow card, and then signaled Valencia to take a free kick in the frontcourt.

Of course, the fans in the stands stopped doing this kind of penalty, and immediately booed harshly. In their minds, the player who violated us should get a red card.But you are just warning, is that interesting?

"interesting!"

After getting up, Ai Luo happened to see the back of No. [-] in the white jersey. He smiled strangely, then straightened his socks and got up.

Seeing Ramos walking towards the penalty area instead of standing near him, curling his lips, he realized that Ramos was playing a central defender instead of a full-back in this game, and he was immediately puzzled.

It turned out that this guy just came to say hello to himself, so boring!
Opposing him is Alves, the future king of Barcelona on the right.

Obviously, this game will be more difficult than imagined. The short Alves is much more flexible than the tall Ramos, and his speed is faster than Ramos, so it is more difficult to get rid of it.

Angulo took a free kick in the frontcourt, and a group of people in the Sevilla penalty area turned their backs. A Sevilla with long hair fluttering and wearing a No. [-] jersey leaped high in the penalty area, supported Aiello's shoulders in the air, and pushed the football out of the penalty area.

"Hey——Chinese boy, your heading skills still haven't improved!"

When landing, Ramos looked at Ai Luo and laughed.

Ai Luo squinted his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Small sample! Deser—see how I 'explode' you later!"

"I am waiting!"

Ramos smiled even wider.

******
Without Valencia, who has many main players, the cooperation in this game is a bit difficult.

If you want to win this game, you can only pin your hopes on the flash of individual performance rather than the collective cooperation, because Angulo has not yet found the game state and rhythm before the injury, and it is very difficult under the oppressive defense of the opponent.

In the 6th minute, Ai Luo singled out Alves on the wing, and when he was one meter away from the latter, he kicked the ball towards the baseline. Unexpectedly, Alves' reaction was extremely fast, and he did not chase the ball at the first time.

Seeing Alves' reaction speed, he sighed depressingly, alright --- since you can't break through by force, then use technology!

Ai Luo thought so.

In the 9th minute, Angulo passed the ball to Aiello on the left. The latter faced Alves' defense again. With a distance of about two meters from Alves, the soles of his feet continued to pull the ball forward.

In order to keep the safest distance, Alves moved to his left as Ai Luo moved to the right, but what he didn’t expect was that Ai Luo’s breakthrough to the right was an illusion. When Alves moved to the left, he kicked the ball back to the left with the heel of his right foot. While turning around, he led the ball forward with his left foot, ready to break through.

An ordinary tall defender would definitely be knocked down temporarily, but at this moment Alves' dexterity played a role, his knees were slightly bent, and at the moment when he was about to lose his center of gravity, a palm slammed on the turf. With this strength, he temporarily stabilized his center of gravity.

But what he didn't expect was that when he adjusted his center of gravity and was about to keep up with Ai Luo, Ai Luo's left heel kicked the ball back again, that is, the ball was thrown back to the opposite direction of himself again, which was the position he was standing before.

Seeing this, the fans in the stands habitually stood up and held their breath, which is a must-do action when they appreciate Ai Luo's wonderful moments.

Just when Ai Luo broke through Alves and was about to enter the penalty area, he was caught off guard by an opposing player in a white jersey from behind and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Ai Luo looked back, yo... so it was Master Shui!

He gave a thumbs up without hesitation, and at the same time praised, "Not bad!"

"Is it necessary?"

Ramos really doesn't know how to be humble, he is indeed a European!
******
The game lasted for nearly half an hour, and the two sides still hadn't penetrated the opponent's goal. Although there were back and forth in this half hour, the most threatening thing was Angulo's long shot from [-] yards from the goal after returning from injury. The football was shot out of the baseline by Notarino.

It can be seen that the two sides did not focus their energy on defense, but that the two sides were slightly insufficient in seizing opportunities.

Alves and Ramos are undoubtedly very successful in marking Aiello, preventing the latter from forming a good opportunity to hit the goal or assist.

This is why Valencia has not opened the deadlock so far.

Sevilla's success in freezing Aiello this time is undoubtedly a good tactical lesson for CSKA Moscow coach Gazaev in the stands. He also got inspiration from this game.

"Changes must be made!"

Ai Luo was entangled again by Alves, and then after Ramos took the opportunity to kick the ball out of the sideline, he crossed his hips and murmured heavily.

So he made a gesture to change positions on the field to David Silva on the right. The latter nodded after seeing it, and took advantage of a dead ball to change positions with Ai Luo.

But what I didn't expect was that after Aiello and David Silva switched positions, Alves actually switched positions with left-back Davide. It seems that the head coach of Sevilla spent a lot of energy for this game, using Alves with plenty of energy and balanced offense and defense to defend Aiello, who is currently Valencia's first assaulter.

Aiello was completely frozen by Sevilla, which also prevented Valencia's three-dimensional attack. David Silva has the ability to attack, but he lacks the inward cut. If he passes directly, it will be difficult for Corradi to take advantage of Ramos and Navarro.

In Sevilla, apart from Navas, who is extremely fast, there is no one who can threaten Valencia's defense. Baptista's ability is more reflected in the organization, and the last pass is not what he is good at. The single striker Antonito's individual combat ability is not obvious.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still zero to zero.

"Throughout the first half, Ai was double-teamed by Alves and Ramos and didn't get any good chances. David Silva on the right didn't have any decent breakthroughs... Angulo was still in a state of looking for a game... It seemed... Ranieri needed to make some changes to the team during the intermission... and the visiting team Sevilla didn't get any decent opportunities. 'The Beast' Baptista was more of a midfield meat grinder."

Taking advantage of the intermission, Hyde gave a brief explanation of the game in the first half.

******
At the beginning of the second half, Ranieri made adjustments to the Valencia midfielder, Aimar replaced Angulo.

And Sevilla also made adjustments. Central defender Pablo replaced left back Davide... From this substitution adjustment of Sevilla, it can be easily seen that they want to strengthen their offense and adjust Alves, who is capable of being a left and right full back, to the left back position, and central defender Ramos also returned to his familiar right. Sevilla's tactical idea in the second half is to strengthen the assists of the two sides.

Both sides made corresponding adjustments to the field lineup, but it was the visiting team Sevilla that first achieved results.

Because less than 10 minutes into the second half, the visiting team Sevilla took the lead.

Sevilla combined side and center, and Navas organized an attack on the left, passing the ball from the side to Baptista in the center, and then Baptista in the center, after attracting the defensive attention of Baraja and Albiol, passed the football back to Navas. Rencia's restricted area.

When Navas broke through to the front of the penalty area, he suddenly passed the football to Alves who was plugging in at high speed from the left.

0:1
After confirming that the football entered the net, Ramos did not celebrate immediately, but turned his head and looked at Aiello provocatively.

"What's so great about it?"

Ai Luo pursed his mouth and said to himself.

******
Falling behind by one goal less than 10 minutes into the second half, Ai Luo shook his head helplessly, turned around and ran to his own half, it seemed that he could only wait for the opportunity.

After Valencia kicked off again, Sevilla took advantage of the momentum of just scoring a goal and quickly controlled the ball, once pressing the home team Valencia in its own half. Seeing this, the chairman of the VIP stand Soller frowned.

Ranieri, who was also frowning on the sideline, didn't know that the team's soft play had made the team chairman extremely dissatisfied. He was still thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him.
