47 Nei Wenhao's face was swollen from the beating

Valencia is also known as the Bat Legion because of the unique black bat on the team badge. They won 2 La Liga titles at the turn of the century and reached the European Champions Cup final for two consecutive years.To talk about the glorious history of Valencia, you have to mention the world-renowned coach Benitez who has just been kicked out by Real Madrid.

No matter how unsatisfactory Bei Shuai was during the first half of the year as the head coach of Real Madrid, it has to be admitted that his coaching career has also had great glory.In the first year of coaching Valencia, Benitez led the team to snatch the league title from Real Madrid, who are eager to celebrate the club's centenary with a double championship of the league and the Champions League.

At that time, Benitez was hailed as a genius among coaches. Under his leadership, Valencia returned to the top of La Liga after 30 years.Although Barcelona introduced Saviola that year, the Galaxy Battleship was even more star-studded, and the Super Deportivo was gaining momentum, the Bat Legion was the real overlord of La Liga that year.

Against Real Madrid, they played a 442 formation against the Galaxy Battleship, completely suppressing the opponent's two full-backs Roberto Carlos and Salgado with extraordinary offensive capabilities, thus freeing their two full-backs and allowing them to completely press and participate attack.This trick, which Real Madrid used to use, was used by Benitez to beat Real Madrid very uncomfortable.

When facing Barcelona, ​​Benitez switched tactics and fought against the opponent, and once again kicked out Van Gaal, who had entered the palace for the second time.Barcelona then appointed Antić as the head coach, who was also beaten by the Bat Corps.

Some people think that the most classic La Liga in those years was the game between Valencia and Deportivo.How strong is the left side of Super Deportivo? When facing super giants such as Manchester United, Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, ​​​​everyone is just defending on the right side and playing Deportivo. There is no team. Dare to use his right to attack Laco's left.But at that time, Benitez dared to be the first person to eat crabs. Under his command, Valencia insisted on using his own right to fight with Deportivo's left. Coach Irueta covered his face and sighed on the sidelines.

However, it is such a bat team known as the "White Ghost" that swept the entire La Liga and even Europe back then, and now it has fallen to the point of going to England to hire a football commentator who can only fight out with spicy words as the head coach.And Benitez, who single-handedly led Valencia to the altar and was regarded as a genius by everyone, fell like a meteor after the short-lived glory of Valencia and Liverpool.In the following years, whether it is coaching Inter Milan, Chelsea or Real Madrid, the fans can only boo.

Since the captain Parejo was replaced by Neville, Valencia's 11 players on the field seemed to have their souls taken away. No one could take on the heavy responsibility of the offensive and defensive organization, and the rhythm of the field was completely controlled by Granada. .And Leo's two goals crushed them even more. In the nearly 10 minutes of the game, there was not a single decent attack.The players were panicked and at a loss on the court, and Neville was like a thunderbolt on the sidelines.

However, the game is not over yet, and the nightmare continues.In the 80th minute of the second half, Valencia's No. 17 Rodrigo made a mistake when passing the ball back to Orbán. The two failed to form a tacit understanding, and the ball was intercepted by Leo, who was always interfering down.After he got the ball, he kicked the ball diagonally and hit Orbán behind him and passed the ball into the penalty area.At the same time, his teammate Arabi stepped in in time, and the ball fell on his path impartially. He just poked with his toe with the help of inertia, and the ball rolled directly into Valencia's goal after changing the line.

"The goal came from a bad pass in Valencia's midfield. Leo Fernandez didn't miss this great opportunity to overtake the score. His interception was very clean and the timing of the pass was just right. No matter who the teammate is, as long as If you can touch the ball in the penalty area, you will definitely score. Facing the ball that suddenly changed direction, goalkeeper Sanchez can do nothing. The score is now 3 to 2, Granada temporarily leads, and there are about 10 minutes left in the game, no one can do anything I don’t know what’s going to happen next game.”

There was a lot of curses in the stands of the home fans, and many people even shouted angrily that Neville should get out of the Mestalla Stadium.The Englishman, who had been standing on the sidelines throughout the game, silently retreated to the bench and sat down.

The responsibilities and pressures of being an assistant coach are completely different from those of being the head coach of a team.Assistant coaches are generally responsible for observing and cultivating young players. No one knows that the team will blame the assistant coach for the loss.The head coach needs to be responsible for the technical and tactical arrangements of the entire team, the improvement of the competitive level, the adjustment of players' mentality and even the adjustment of the locker room atmosphere.He will be directly responsible for the team's game results, and the head coach of some teams has so much power that he even directly participates in the operation and management of the club.

Mr. Ruvio was also a little helpless with the sudden change of situation on the field. He unceremoniously pointed the finger at his colleagues: "At this moment, Neville probably has a broken heart. He must think that his brain was blocked by the door. What a bloody manager to give up Sky Sports' £1500m annual salary and come to Valencia. This stupid Englishman has brought disaster to the Bats."

At this time, Lin Rongfu, a local tycoon in Singapore, who was sitting in the VIP box, really felt that his mind was trapped by the door, so he invited such a big Buddha to block him.

The disaster didn't end there. In the 85th minute of the game, Rosina broke through from the right with the ball and was cornered by two defenders on the left.When he brought the ball near the bottom line and was about to kick a cross, the ball was destroyed by the opponent's left midfielder Bakari and went out of the bottom line. Granada won a corner kick.

Leo quickly took the corner kick. Instead of passing the ball directly into the penalty area, he played a tactical corner kick with Saxes.After the two passed the ball to each other twice quickly, Leo suddenly kicked the ball into the penalty area. Captain Max had already received Leo's gesture hint before this, and grabbed the first goal in the penalty area with a header. .

“goalgoalgoal这一粒漂亮的头球来自格兰纳达8号场上队长哈维马克思为他助攻的仍然是5号雷欧费尔南德斯。这个年仅19岁的法国小伙今天在场上格外的兴奋,15分钟时间里两传两射,他帮助格兰纳达以4比2的比分实现大逆转。比赛时间所剩无几,瓦伦西亚回天乏术。”

After scoring the goal, Max rushed to Leo immediately, hugged him tightly, and the two walked to the stands of the away fans to pay tribute.Gonzalez looked very relaxed and happy standing on the sidelines.He thinks that bringing Leo to Barcelona was the greatest decision he ever made in his life, not one of them.

Valencia's players have no fighting spirit on the field. At this moment, they have only one hope. The referee hastened to blow the whistle for the whole game, so as not to let the team continue to lose goals and disappoint the home fans even more.

The score of the game was finally fixed at 4 to 2. When the referee announced the end of the game, the mood of the [-] home fans at the Mestalla Stadium was finally waking up from this nightmare.The Granada fans who came from afar are still unsatisfied. They feel that if the game time can be longer, they can score more goals because they have Leo Fernandez.

Leo immediately ran off the field and ran up to Parejo before the opposing bench left. The young Valencia captain looked at him suspiciously.

Apart from the unofficial exchange of jerseys with Ronaldo in the player tunnel last time, this is the first time Leo has actively asked to exchange jerseys with an opposing player.He looked a little embarrassed and said: "You play very well, I want to exchange jerseys with you, is that okay?"

In fact, he also wanted to say that if it weren't for your early departure, we would not have won the game so easily in the last 20 minutes of the game.But he felt that losing to the opponent was not a pleasant thing after all, so he didn't say it.

Parejo was taken aback when he heard his request, then smiled friendly, took off his jersey and exchanged it with Leo.The two shook hands and hugged each other, and praised each other a few words, and Neville next to him watched the whole process.

After the game, the opponent's best player ran to the bench and exchanged jerseys with the replaced captain, praising him as the soul of Valencia.This slap was firmly slapped on Neville's face, and he was so swollen that he couldn't see anyone immediately.So the Englishman turned around, lowered his head and walked to the player's channel in a despondent manner.

In the post-match press conference, Gonzalez naturally seized the opportunity to praise his talented youngsters.For the reporter's questions about the league rankings and Europa League qualifications, and even the impact of the Champions League qualifications, he was even more happy from ear to ear: "The whole team is very eager to make history, and we are working hard for it. The Europa League or imagine qualifying for the Champions League, how exciting that would be."

For the reporter's rumors about whether Leo will leave the team during the winter transfer period, Gonzalez also responded positively for the first time: "Fernandez will not leave Granada, at least not yet."

On the other side, Neville's face can be described as colorful. This "famous mouth" who used to say a lot on Sky Sports, at this time, he couldn't open his mouth when facing reporters' questions.

The Marca reporter directly asked Neville the sharpest question: "Do you think that the opponent scored 20 goals in a row in the last 4 minutes of this game? Is it related to your decision-making error and replacing captain Parejo in advance?"

Neville kept himself smiling like a gentleman, but his smile was uglier than crying: "I think it's probably because the players didn't fully understand the technical and tactical arrangements of the coaching staff on the field. Granada is very lucky. They have Such a good player like Fernandez. I am sorry for the result of this game. We should have brought a victory to the fans and friends at home, but the final result was so bad. Our players finally lost their fighting spirit. I need Learn more about what happened in the post-match analysis.”

He didn't mention the matter of replacing the captain at all, but shifted the responsibility to the players.

Hearing his remarks, all the journalists present were very speechless.On the Internet, major forums and social networking sites are full of criticism:

"Neiwenhao, you really don't want Bilian. It's really fucked up to say that the players didn't fully understand the skills and tactics."

"What kind of tactic do you have? Your tactic is to change the captain inexplicably when you are two goals ahead"

"I heard that right, Granada is lucky, if Granada is lucky, you can lose 8 to 2, do you believe it?"

"Hehe, it must have been smashed out of my mind by a slap by my male god."

""

Leo and his teammates had a fuss in the locker room for a while, singing and dancing, and taking various selfies, as if they had won the championship.My friend Griezmann immediately sent a congratulatory text message: "You can do it, just keep at this state, not to mention the training camp next month, even Deschamps will take you to play in the European Cup in June .”

Leo's mind was still clear: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. If Neville didn't replace their captain midway, we might not be able to win this game."

"That's just one of the factors. If you don't play well, even if they replace the captain Granada, they may not be able to win the game, right."

"Thank you for scheduling this round of the league tomorrow, right? May you score more goals and get closer to the scorer list."

Griezmann rolled his eyes at him: "Isn't that you in front of me?"

"oh yeah"

""

In two hours, Real Madrid will face Deportivo at the Bernabéu Stadium. This is Zidane's first game since he took office, and Leo will naturally not miss it.He casually ate something in the hotel and stayed in front of the TV early.

The whole game looked refreshing, Real Madrid beat Deportivo 5-0.Bale scored a hat-trick and Benzema scored twice.Leo saw his father standing on the sidelines smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes. Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Bell to score twice throughout the game, but he failed to score a goal.

But Leo believes that scoring goals is not important. The value of a player to the team is not reflected in how many goals he scores, but whether he can help the team win.The outside world always says that Ronaldo plays too alone, but it turns out that his assists are not inferior to shooting.
