From the Country Team To the Rich

Chapter 84 Winning the First Round

Latest URL: As time passed, the mood of the Valencia players gradually changed from excitement at the beginning to helplessness.

yes!

This way of interception and pressing did contain Hoffenheim to a certain extent, but that's all.

In terms of physical energy, their consumption is almost twice that of Hoffenheim.

This makes every player feel a huge sense of fatigue.

The initial effect was really good, but it can only be said to be good. They contained Hoffenheim's attack, but they could not counterattack.

What is the use of this tactic?

They couldn't win at home.

And with the passing of physical fitness, the running enthusiasm of each player began to weaken, and the defensive pressure exerted on Hoffenheim before suddenly disappeared.

For this point, the Hoffenheim players on the field are the most sensitive.

Ranier's chest rose and fell like a blower, and sweat flowed wantonly. I have to say that this kind of physical tug-of-war is extremely painful.

But fortunately, Hoffenheim's physical fitness class is compulsory. Every Hoffenheim player is in good physical fitness. They feel very tired, but they have not yet reached the level of collapse.

On the other hand, Valencia has been unable to run.

Ranier subconsciously sat on the horse with the ball in his hands, making a preparatory action to prevent the impact.

But after a second, nothing happened.

When he turned around with the ball, the previous Valencia player who had been physically confronting him did not run over.

This made Ranie stunned for a moment, and then he was elated.

Ha ha! are you tired? !

Ranier quickly assigned the ball to the left and handed it to Leo.

Leo played the most dangerous offensive role in this game. It can be said that most of Valencia's defensive strength is concentrated on the left.

And after Leo got the ball,

Valencia's state at this time can be most effectively judged.

Seeing Leo with the ball, Valencia did react.

But far less crazy than before.

It used to be a two-person defense, but now it is a single defense.

Another defensive player did not run in place at the first time, which made Leo make a quick decision and break through directly.

In one-on-one defense, Leo's breakthrough is almost unsolvable.

The Valencia full-back looked at Leo at this time with fear engraved in his eyes.

He didn't stop Leo once in a game. This kind of performance was bad, and it also dealt a huge blow to his self-confidence.

Lei Ao's dribble is still as sharp. Although he has hit to the point of physical exhaustion, it's not like he hasn't played like this before.

He knows how to allocate the remaining physical energy.

This time, Leo did not cross the penalty area line.

Instead, he went straight to the gap on the left wing while looking for Jamie with his eyes.

Jamie has disappeared for a long time, and when Leo is too dazzling, it is time for this hidden assassin to show his fangs.

Sure enough, Valencia's attention was attracted by Leo holding the ball, and no one saw Jamie sneaking back.

Leo saw that Jamie was about to get into position, he made two quick changes of direction, and immediately shoved the ball under the crotch of a Valencia player.

The ball is just between the goalkeeper and the defender. This distance makes the goalkeeper hesitate to attack.

But it is this hesitation that is fatal!

The ball went straight through the middle and came to the back point.

On the other hand, Jamie slapped the horse and pushed the ball with a simple arch of his foot, and the ball hit the net.

In the 78th minute, Hoffenheim scored a goal.

The score was Valencia 1:2 Hoffenheim.

The entire stadium fell into silence again, and the Valencia fans were helpless.

The game did not go according to their ideas at all. When Hoffenheim started to attack frantically, Valencia's winning percentage had become very small.

Losing at home is embarrassing.

But I have to admit, it was a great game.

Valencia was sure they had done their best, but they were not ashamed to play.

However, Hoffenheim's strength exceeded their expectations.

This club, which only entered the Bundesliga last season, has become extremely terrifying after a year of training.

At this time, even if it is said that Hoffenheim has the strength of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they believe it!

The referee blows his whistle pointing to the center circle.

There is no suspicion of offside in this goal, even if he wants to favor Valencia, it is impossible.

It can only be said that Valencia could no longer run, and Hoffenheim took a fancy to this opportunity and scored a fatal goal.

......

Valencia's head coach sat on the bench, and he didn't show too much excitement, or his expression was surprisingly calm.

In fact, starting from 60 minutes in the second half, when Valencia couldn't start the situation, he knew that this tactic was not working.

It does take a high-intensity pressing to beat Hoffenheim.

But this kind of pressing will also consume their physical energy, and eventually make them finish early.

as now.

As for how to play Hoffenheim, he doesn't know.

Even now, he doesn't know how to restrain Hoffenheim's tactics.

Of course, he doesn't think this is an unsolvable problem.

It can only be said that he did not find the right way.

Or their players are not in the same class as Hoffenheim.

‘That’s four 19-year-old boys! '

The head coach of Valencia was a little jealous. He looked at Leo, Ranier, Habr and Piani with envy.

If such four demons were in Valencia, he would dare to fight Barcelona.

These guys are only 19 years old, and they will become stronger in the future.

The goal in 78 minutes almost made Valencia desperate.

They have to admit that they are likely to get a defeat at home.

This is a very helpless thing.

Although it is not that they have lost before, they did not expect to lose to Hoffenheim.

Of course, this game also made them have a lot of gains.

For example, they understand the strength of Hoffenheim.

This team is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

What country team, what rednecks!

These guys are playing pigs and eating tigers. They will kill every team that stands against them.

Today, Valencia feels that Hoffenheim is really likely to win the Europa League.

Beep beep! !

Three whistles sounded and the game was all over.

Although at the last moment, Valencia also made substitutions, wanting to get a draw.

But Hoffenheim also made substitutions to keep the score intact.

In the first round of the Europa League semi-finals of the 2018/2019 season, Valencia lost 1:2 to Hoffenheim.

A week later, they will go to Sinsheim for the second round, and this game will also determine which one of Hoffenheim or Valencia can get the ticket to Azerbaijan!

In the evening, Hoffenheim did not stay overnight, but flew directly back to Germany.

Although they would like to take a rest, they should go back to training early.

Their next league game will be against 1900 Munich at the Bayern Arena.
