atypical center forward

Chapter 225 Passing by Greatness
The first half of the game ended with a score of 3:2, and players from both sides entered the locker room.

After the advertisement, various live broadcast platforms began to replay the seven goals of the game tirelessly, and various online media couldn't wait to bombard the monitors of netizens with various news pop-up windows.

The number of viewers unknowingly reached a new season high, and the ratings had surpassed the Spanish derby that had just ended before the start of the second half.

Gressel scolded several defenders in the locker room, and even Rodri and Zogo, who had resolved the danger several times, were not spared.

The second half was about to start, and the players began to enter the field. Gressel deliberately left Chu Yang at the end to exchange opinions.

"Chu, what do you think about replacing another striker in the second half?" Gressel spoke in a completely negotiating tone.

"forward?"

In Chu Yang's impression, Gressel is a relatively conservative coach. Although he is not a supporter of the one-to-zero doctrine, the first thing he thinks of when he is in the lead is to stick to the score. He rarely has the courage to fight against a strong team.

"That's right, they will definitely invest more troops in the second half to mark you. I think you need a helper."

"A helper..." Chu Yang recalled the backup forwards in the team whose names he couldn't even name, and gave up decisively, "Then you might as well send Shen Mu."

"Shen?" Now it was Gressel's turn to frown.

He admitted that Shen Mu was indeed somewhat underestimated, with excellent stamina, aggressive fighting, and first-class long passing, but other than that, nothing.

It is impossible for him to replace Joe, he can only replace Banderas.

To be honest, Gressel doesn't think Shen Mu has the ability to replace Banderas.

Banderas' progress was not as fast as Chu Yang and Moya's, but he was indeed improving all the time, and his speed was second only to Chu Yang in the Valencia team. Even Samps and Zogo were a line slower than him.

Gressel regretted discussing with Chu Yang.

Both Chu Yang and Shen Mu are Chinese, and I heard that they have a good relationship...

Seeing that he didn't make a statement, Chu Yang probably guessed something, and explained: "I mean to replace Letta with Shen Mu, and let Shen Mu kick the midfielder to liberate Samps."

"Let Shen Mu kick the back?" Gressel felt like he was listening to the Arabian Nights.

I have seen front midfielders playing forwards, and full-backs playing as full-backs, but I have never seen full-backs playing defensive midfielders.

"That's right, Shen Mu's defense is good, and he is daring to fight and fight. He also has a good long pass skill. He can pass the ball behind him. It is easy to launch a counter-offside with a long pass."

Pirlo is still playing the front midfielder. There is no representative precedent for the front midfielder and the rear midfielder in this world of football. Busquez and Roma's De Rossi are more like all-around midfielders. The concept of an organizational midfielder has not been clearly proposed.

Gressel shook his head secretly, and could only take Chu Yang's suggestion as a reason to find out for Shen Mu, and said vaguely: "Let's talk about it."

Chu Yang glanced at him, nodded, and stopped talking.

He didn't mean to blame Gressel, he just sighed for Gressel's courage and sensitivity.

Such a change is no small matter. It is not an exaggeration to say that it overthrows the team's entire tactical system. It is normal for Gressel to be hesitant or cautious, but he seems not to take Chu Yang's words seriously at all, and he is not even interested in experimenting. This is a matter of vision and courage.

In this way, Gressel missed a great change that could have a major impact on the entire history of football.

Game start.

The lineups and formations of both sides have not changed, but an interesting scene happened at the beginning of the second half.

When Barcelona served, Thayer copied Chu Yang's lightning attack in the first half and kicked the ball to Valencia's goal not far from the midfield.

His kick wasn't all a retaliation against Chu Yang or a gamble on luck, but Kayo did have a problem.

This guy didn't learn from Banders' lesson. He wanted to lower his head and straighten his gloves slowly after the opening whistle had already blown. Perhaps he subconsciously regarded the rare shooting method of mid-field lob as Chu Yang's patent.

The football fell towards the goal quickly, and Kayo found out about the shot without being reminded by his teammates, and narrowly held the ball out of the baseline.

Barcelona got a corner kick early in the second half.

Before the end of the first half, the opponent took advantage of the corner kick to score the goal. Valencia's defenders were more or less shadowed, so they defended very cautiously.

However, the quality of Barcelona's corner kick was not high, and it was cleared out of the penalty area by Sainte's header. Zogo got the ball outside the penalty area, dribbled forward for more than ten meters, and then passed the ball to Joe who came up to respond.

Joe passed Alba cleanly this time, but Busquez was in place quickly, and he wasted no time to pass the ball quickly.

It was Samps who caught the ball.

He didn't know when he had rushed to the midfield, and once again dribbled the ball from the middle.

Keita came up and was passed.

That swift counter-attack in the first half looked set to be repeated.

Elvis sprints up from behind, keeps pace with Samps, and cuts the ball right off Samps' feet before he's ready to pass.

Barcelona fight back.

Elvis handed the ball to Alba, then ran away from Samps to Valencia's half.

The two Barcelona full-backs flew in unison, clearing Moya and Banderas who were still in their own half.

Football came to Xavi's feet.

He is unmarked around him because Samps, who is in charge of defending him, is still chasing back.

All Valencians suddenly felt scalp tingling.

Xavi's pass cut through Valencia's defense cleanly like a sharp scalpel, and Thayer received the ball in front of the goal.

Passing and receiving the ball, one second more is too slow, one second less is too fast, one more force is too heavy, one less force is too light, everything is just right.

Rodri didn't care about fouling or not, and directly shoveled fiercely at Thayer about to shoot.

Thayer pulled the ball lightly, passed Rodri's tackle, and put on a shooting posture again. When Anos came to intercept, he swiped the ball out with the outside of his instep, and flashed past the left side of Anos' body.

Then shoot.

Cayo reacted well and blocked the path of the football, but did not block the ball.

The football went through his gantry.

"The goal is scored! Thayer equalized the score for Barcelona! Harvey is at least half of the credit for this goal. Samps paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy. Of course, Letta, who did not make up the defense in time, is also responsible. This is a completely unnecessary goal."

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, the sixth goal was scored and the score was 3:3.
