atypical center forward

Chapter 235 Fighting Atletico Madrid Again
Castro focused on rehearsing two formations.

One set is the traditional 442, which basically inherited Gressel's original idea, except that Banderas was replaced by Shen Mu, and Lyco was replaced by Frye.

The other set is 451, Chu Yang single forward, midfielder Moya, double forward Joe and Shen Mu, defensive midfielder Mascherano, central midfielder Samps, four backs remain unchanged, of course Chu Yang can also be moved to midfield when necessary, and the forward is replaced by Frye.

There is no time to test which of the two formations is more suitable. After all, Chu Yang and Shen Mu have just experienced more than a month of hard competition, and they have returned from a long journey. The training should be mainly adaptive training.

Chu Yang could only sit on the bench for the first game after his return.

Although the opponent in this game is very unusual.

"Friends from the audience, welcome to watch the No.20 second round of La Liga. Valencia vs. Atletico Madrid. I'm Duan Xiang, and I'm broadcasting this game live at the Calderón Stadium."

"Atlético Madrid are currently ranked third in La Liga. They have only lost three games this season, one of which was against Valencia in the third round of the league at Mestalla, so this is also a battle of revenge."

"Valencia once rushed to the second place in the league, but since the No.16 round, they only achieved one win, two draws and three losses. Now they have dropped to fourth place, equal to Villarreal. Because of the superior results in the battle, they temporarily overwhelmed the yellow submarine in the rankings."

"Valencia's sudden collapse has various reasons. The team's lineup is not thick enough, the head coach's improper command on the spot are their weaknesses, but I think the main reason is Chu Yang's absence. In the six games he was absent, the Valencia team only scored three goals. It was these precious three goals that allowed them to gain two draws and one victory. This seems incredible in the first half of the season. You must know that it was one of the strongest teams in La Liga before."

"Fortunately, he has come back now, with the glory of the Asian Cup champion and the top scorer of the Asian Cup, and the expectations of countless Valencia fans to step on the stage of La Liga again..."

Atletico Madrid at home fielded a double striker combination of Avaro + Costan, with the obvious intention of taking all three points, while Valencia is also a double striker configuration of Kolose and Diego Frye, obviously not willing to accept results other than victory.

Frye became famous in the Argentine league and had an unpleasant experience in the Premier League. After coming to La Liga, he ushered in an explosion and currently ranks fifth in the scorer list. It is generally believed that the combination of him and Valencia is a win-win choice, but judging from the two games after he joined, this view seems a bit premature.

Of course, nothing can be seen from the two games. Frye's performance is still worth looking forward to by Valencia fans. The only doubt is whether he and Chu Yang can spark off. You must know that Chu Yang's partner has not performed very well whether in the national team or the club team.

According to many people's scripts, in this game, Valencia should fall behind by a large score first, and then Chu Yang was ordered to come off the bench to kill all sides and stage the return of the king.

It's a pity that the players on both sides don't want to follow this script.

Valencia took the lead halfway through the first half.

It was not Frye who was expected and expected to score the goal, but Kolose, who was believed to have been bought by Valencia to serve as Frye's substitute.

This goal came from a simple wing attack.

His excellent performance as a substitute in Valencia and during the Asian Cup allowed Shen Mu to replace the injured Banderas as the starter on the left side of the game. He didn't have the ability to dribble the ball like a full-back, but Zogo behind him not only had a striker's heart, but also had a breakthrough level comparable to the average striker, which well made up for this deficiency.

It was Zogo who pushed this attack forward.

He dribbled the ball quickly on the left, and when he came near the baseline, he pretended to make a bottom pass, and then gave the ball to Shen Mu.

Shen Mu sent a curve ball from a 45-degree angle of the goal.

A graceful and deadly crescent scimitar.

Kolose, who doesn't look tall or strong, jumped up and scored with a header.

"Goal! The young Kolose scored his first goal in La Liga. This is his third La Liga game, and he is facing a strong opponent like Atletico Madrid. Congratulations to Valencia, they made a good deal."

After scoring the goal, the German ran to the sidelines excitedly, jumped up suddenly, and made a difficult somersault to celebrate.

The home stands were silent, and the away team's fans area cheered thunderously.

After witnessing all this, Chu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, God K didn't look crooked.

Atlético de Madrid, who were lagging behind, seemed a little impatient, and their not-so-gentle actions became even more rough. Valencia was not cowardly at all, and the scene gradually got a little out of control. Fortunately, the referee of this game was very tough.

During Chu Yang's absence, the Englishman Dennis Joe became Valencia's main attacker, so Simmons made special arrangements for him in this game. Joe's right was suppressed a bit, and Valencia's attack naturally began to tilt to the left.

Shen Mu and Zogo became the most active people in Valencia's formation.

For the first time, people discovered that long passing can be so pleasing and powerful.

"Costan was intercepted with the ball. He thought it was a foul and was protesting to the referee, but the referee did not make a penalty for the ball. Valencia's counterattack!"

"Zogo again! He gave the ball to Moya, Moya kicked the ball, Frye caught the ball in front of the penalty area, and shot! Oh, it was a fake move, he gave the ball to Shen Mu, and Shen Mu's long pass came again..."

Shen Mu's pass was a bit hasty, and his passing skills were not perfect yet. The quality of the pass was not very high, but Kolose still found the football by relying on his astute movement and excellent sense of smell in front of the goal.

Shen Mu obviously didn't have a good grasp of the height. When the ball came in front of Kolose, it was just at the waist. The volley was too far, and the general header was too short, so he could only dive the header.

This shooting method is a test for the striker.

Klose gave an excellent answer.

He jumped out and hit the football with a precise forehead.

The football flew towards the goal and was about to cross the goal line. Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Oprak suddenly jumped and flicked the ball away with one hand.

Kolose, who was already lying on the lawn, patted the grass depressingly.

"Oprak has made a contribution. Atletico Madrid can become the team with the fewest conceded goals in La Liga so far. Oprak has contributed a lot. This young man is one of the most stable goalkeepers in La Liga and is also an important guarantee for Atletico Madrid to compete for various honors."
