44 Valencia vs Granada 2 Leash dogs on the bench

Through 30 minutes of sideline observation, although Leo could not fully understand Valencia's technical and tactical play and strategy.But he at least saw one obvious thing: the players on the court and the coaches on the sidelines are not of one mind at all.

Gary Neville, who played as a defender for Manchester United all his life as a player, once served as the captain of the Red Devils.Represented the England national team in three European Cups and two World Cups.Whether it is the locker room or the national team, Neville is an absolute locker room boss, which is why Ferguson handed over the Manchester United captain's armband to him.

Speaking of which, this England iron guard is still the old captain of Ronaldo when he was in the Red Devils, and it is said that he is also the English teacher of the president.However, his younger brother, who is also an assistant coach in Valencia now, frequently broke the news to the media that Ronaldo often flopped in the Premier League, which not only caused him a lot of criticism from the outside world, but also caused other players in the team to suffer. No small amount of stress. In the first year of Ronaldo coming to Manchester, every time he trained, as long as he got the ball, he would be kicked by Keane, Butt and Scholes, and Ronaldo was kicked by them throughout the season.

It has to be said that the two brothers are indeed brothers.

Gary Neville was a "lunatic" when he was a player. When his teammates scored goals, he ran to demonstrate to the away fans. When he lost the game, he scolded his fans. When his teammates failed to accept the urine test in time, he was punished. He organized his teammates to stop training.

Neville, who became a coach after retiring, not only did not restrain himself, but became more unscrupulous.The former assistant coach of the England national team has a very rich spare time life. He writes a column as a commentary, and he has the courage to give advice. In his commentary, the world's famous coaches have been criticized all over the place. No, Mourinho can't attack. He even left a famous line when he was asked who would win the game between Liverpool and Manchester City: It's like you have to choose one of two men to have an affair with your wife

The Singaporean owner of Valencia decided to terminate the contract because he did not want the team to be controlled by the former coach Nuno and his agent Jorge Mendes.Then I don't know which column article by Neville the Singaporean was brainwashed, and he even dug this "famous talker" from Sky Sports as the head coach.

If the team is completely controlled by such an unreliable head coach, Granada can easily win this game without any worries.Clearly, the players have lost faith in their English manager.No one wants to listen to him dictating on the sidelines. Instead, they revolve around their midfielder and captain Parejo to attack and defend.

And this is precisely the most terrifying thing. The dignity of the giants cannot be trampled on. Neville has not brought the team a victory since he took office.Instead, they were eliminated in the Champions League group stage and were reduced to playing in the Europa League.All the players held a sigh of relief in their hearts, and wanted to feel proud after winning the game, and directly forced the club to let the British go away.

Leo replaced Córdoba on the field and partnered with Arabi as a striker. After he entered the field, he first conveyed Gonzalez’s new tactical arrangement to the captain: Valencia’s counterattack was too fast, and the wing was too fierce. It is necessary to strengthen the control of the midfield.

Valencia fought fiercely from the left again, and Bakari decisively broke the ball at the feet of Saxes.The latter immediately turned around to fight back, but failed to touch the ball and kicked it on Bakari's feet, causing a foul.

Valencia got a free kick far from the goal on the left. This position is a bit awkward.Captain Parejo and his teammates stood in front of the penalty spot after a brief discussion.

"Al Valencia's No. 10 captain Parejo scored the first goal. It was a free kick that was not ideally placed, but he chose to hit the goal directly. Granada's goalkeeper Andrew made a fatal mistake. Perhaps a teammate blocked his view, and his position leaned forward to the left. Parejo observed this, and he dropped the ball into the far corner with the outside of his foot, and the ball flew directly into the goal from the upper right corner. .The score on the field was rewritten to 1-0, and Valencia took the lead temporarily."

The goal was too sudden. Leo had been on the field for less than 5 minutes, and the opponent broke the deadlock with such an incredible goal.

After Parejo's goal, in the stands where the home fans are most concentrated, he was very excited, and his teammates all stepped forward to hug him, but even the players sitting on the bench didn't come forward to talk to him on the sidelines. Neville celebrates.

Granada served in the middle circle, Marx passed the ball to Saxes, Saxes ran forward with the ball, and Rosina on the right followed from the wing, ready to respond at any time.Valencia's No. 15 Enzo Perez stepped forward to block, and Saxes gave the ball to Leo just before the opponent's kick.

After taking control of the ball, Leo used his speed to get away from Bakari who wanted to step forward to defend him, but hadn't come too close.Several Valencia midfielders saw his speed and stopped chasing him at all. Leo took the ball to the penalty area unimpeded, but found that no matter how his teammate Arabi interspersed and moved, he tried to attract the opponent's defender. Note that Valencia's entire defense stood firmly in its defensive position, motionless.

Leo tried to force the ball, but was unsuccessful.After a brief observation he suddenly kicked the ball between the two defenders.The ball rolled quickly against the turf. Arabi didn't have time to catch up with the ball, but the ball rolled out against the goal post. Valencia's goalkeeper Sanchez didn't react at all and stood still.

"Wow~ It's dangerous. Fernandez almost broke the goal with a pass and shot. Sanchez didn't expect it at all. It's a pity that Granada lacked a little luck."

From such a small detail that the commentator himself did not realize, the fans in front of the TV heard that Mr. Rubio's emotional balance was more inclined to Valencia.When the Bat Corps attacked, he called for opportunities, but Granada exclaimed danger when he shot.

Neville on the sidelines also broke out in a cold sweat, and kept gesturing for several players in the midfield to return to the penalty area.But Perez, Bakari and Figuri all turned their heads to look at their captain Parejo.

Leo was a little embarrassed for the well-known football commentator of Sky Sports. Seeing that he was in a hurry to get angry, he wished to find him a microphone and let him give a hearty live commentary to the fans.

Before this game, when the Granada team analyzed the Valencia game video, several players believed that the midfielder of the Bat Corps was not thick enough, and it was easy for the opponent to penetrate and face the defense directly.

It was only when the two sides faced each other on the court that I realized it firsthand. It wasn't that the midfielder was not active in returning to the room, but that the defense had formed a system and the positioning was excellent. If it was not necessary, there was no need to retreat.In this way, you can launch a counterattack as quickly as possible after stealing the ball.

Valencia's goal kick, Leo has been putting pressure on goalkeeper Sanchez near the penalty area, but the opponent quickly drives the ball to the midfield.Parejo grabbed the spot accurately in the fight with Saxes. After stopping the ball in the chest, there was no extra dribbling, and he directly distributed the ball to Negvedo who retreated from the right to take the ball.

The counterattack was too fast, and it took only ten seconds before and after. Granada's defenders did not have the speed of Leo.Fortunately, when Negvedone cut into the penalty area, Franrick and Biraghi reluctantly withdrew back, leaving the opponent with a very small shooting angle under the pressure of the two.Negvedo tried a left-footed shot, and the ball was collected by Andrew without any suspense.

Rubio yelled that it was a pity: "If Negvedo had the speed of Fernandez, the score on the field would be rewritten to 2-0."

Neville on the sidelines is useless, although he works very hard to convey his intentions to the players on the field.But obviously, everyone is just a dog on the coach's bench.

In the 40th minute of the first half, Granada had nothing to do against Valencia, who seemed to be disorganized and unorganized.After Leo got the ball in the middle, he was no longer eager to quickly press the forward field. He passed the ball back to the captain Max, who passed it to Rosina on the side. After Rosina took the ball, he immediately transferred it to the other side in a wide range of Corsin.

With the continuous cooperation of several players in the midfield, the ball is quickly passed out with the first kick, and then runs forward in a small range, penetrating into the opponent's frontcourt with continuous short passes.

Leo runs very frequently without the ball, but the opponent doesn't seem to like him. Granada has no gaps to exploit near the penalty area.The ball was still under Max's feet, and Leo gave him a gesture, meaning to pass the ball directly behind the opponent's defender, and he would move forward in time to keep up.

Although they have only cooperated for a few months, Max and Leo have already formed a tacit understanding in the usual training and running-in.It can be said that if Leo does not have the full cooperation of Max on the court, he will not be able to play a central role in driving the offense of the entire team.

Leo always maintains the position of himself and the last defender of the opponent to avoid being called offside.The moment the captain kicked his feet, Leo rushed out of the crowd like an arrow from the string.The ball passed over the defender's head, but it didn't land well. When Leo chased the ball, he was already in the small penalty area.Goalkeeper Sanchez made a decisive attack. When they both had the same chance to get the ball, Leo had no choice but to give up the ball.

A charge against the goalkeeper in the goal area is a card.

Although the tactical coordination failed to pose a threat this time, they successfully passed through the opponent's defense line, at least proving that this method is feasible.

Leo turned and retreated while giving the captain a thumbs up.

After Sanchez delivered the ball, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
