Coach, I want to play football!

As Otamendi said, he almost stuck to Ye Qi's defense throughout the second half of the first half.

Of course, close defense is also Otamendi's habit.

Ye Qi scored in the first six seconds of the first half, but neither side scored in the next 45 minutes.

However, for the neutral fans, although there was no goal behind, the two sides did not play conservatively.It's very lively between you and me, but the two sides played in a relatively civilized way, and no conflict broke out just because it was a derby.

Time to enter the intermission stage.

After Marcelino finished the tactical arrangement for the second half, he said to Ye Qi: "Ye, there's no need to carry it with Otamendi."

Ye Qi nodded, he knew that this was because the head coach was dissatisfied with the confrontation between himself and Otamendi in the second half of the first half, which delayed the team's offensive rhythm.

Ye Qi didn't actually go up, he was deliberately attracting the opponent to fight against him.It's just that he didn't say it at the moment.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Valencia coach Nuno started to play his cards.

Argentine midfielder Enzo Perez was substituted and Dani Parejo, the Bats' main midfielder last season, came off the bench.

In fact, the two central midfielders that Valencia started today have some overlapping characteristics. Perez and Gomez have similar technical characteristics. They are both central midfielders or all-around midfielders.

The only difference is that Gomez has height and body, he is ten centimeters taller than Perez!So Gomez is good at physical confrontation, while Perez is good at passing and receiving the ball.

After Parejo came up, he must take over the position of the midfield playmaker.So what Perez doesn't have, Parejo has.Parejo still has the ability that Perez has, even better than Perez.

In this case, it is the best choice to replace Perez and leave Gomez, who has an advantage in physical confrontation.

Because Otamendi and Mustafi who started today are actually not tall, just a little over 1.8 meters.And Gomez is 1.8 meters tall, which is similar to Ye Qi's height.

Seeing this substitution adjustment, Marcelino was taken aback on the sidelines.He obviously didn't expect Nuno to play his cards at the beginning of the second half.

No. 407 minutes, when the ball was dead for the first time in the second half, Marcelino called Santos to the sidelines.

"Next, your task is to keep an eye on the No. [-] Parejo in the opponent's midfield. Keep an eye on him, don't let this guy pass and catch the ball easily, and... be careful of his back. attack!"

Big Santos nodded and returned to the court.

What does Parejo mean to the current Valencia team... just like Carney of the Bat Legion.

Both are the core midfielders of both sides, and both are technical players.The only difference is that Carney focuses all his "talent" on offensive attributes, while Parejo, in addition to his excellent pass and reception scheduling and attacking from behind, he also has a good defense in the midfield.

In the [-]th minute, Santos' breakthrough on the wing was interrupted, and the football was handed over to Parejo's feet.

At this time, the big Santos pressed up, intending to closely guard the opponent as the head coach ordered.

But Parejo didn't give Santos a chance to entangle himself. After receiving the ball, he quickly passed it to his teammate Piatti on the wing.

Piatti dribbled the ball from the side to attract the attention of Villarreal's defenders. After coming to the side, he didn't hit the bottom to find Negredo. Instead, he crossed the ribs outside the penalty area and gave it to the center.

Bruno felt the threat of the pass and rushed to break the ball, but Parejo was faster than him!

Throwing away the big Santos, Parejo, who grabbed the ball before Bruno, did not stick the ball, but a through ball with a ground ball, and the ball was stuffed behind the two central defenders.

Negredo, who got the ball, shot it unreasonably and vigorously!

Asenjo missed the ball, his hands were short!The football flew from between his hands into the goal.

"Negredo!!"

"Nuno's substitution played a key role. Parejo, who came off the bench, assisted Negredo to score in 5 minutes..."

Negrejo laughed so much that he wanted to celebrate the goal with Parejo.But at this time the referee blew his whistle and pointed in the direction of Villarreal's goal-a goal kick!

And the linesman on the sidelines had already raised the flag in his hand high.

"The referee signaled that the ball was offside first, so the goal was invalid!" He Wei said.

Xu Yang thought for a while and said, "I really felt like the position where Negredo took the ball was offside, but I didn't see it clearly at the first time. Watch the slow-motion replay later."

Valencia's players surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation. They believed that their teammates were not offside for the ball.

And Nuno also found the fourth official with difficulty, saying that the ball should not be offside.

What the hell, my team managed to equalize the score, you told me it was offside?I don't believe it!

"It was indeed an offside ball. Before Parejo passed the ball, Gabriel commanded the defense to take a step forward. It was this step that put Negredo in an offside position, half a body offside, watch in slow motion It is still very easy to distinguish, so there is no problem with the referee's penalty!"

"But Gabriel is very smart. The offside is very beautiful. Negredo fell into the offside trap without warning."

Xu Yang nodded, "It's really beautiful. Gabriel's performance so far this season is unquestionable, so now he has somewhat replaced the veteran Dorado as the command core of the defense."

"This time the offside came from behind the Brazilian central defender, and Villarreal's defense really cooperated with each other tacitly. Otherwise, if someone dragged a little behind half a step, the ball would probably not be offside."

"Although this goal is not counted, we still saw the power of Valencia from this offense. We also saw that after Parejo played, it did bring something different to the Bat Corps."

"That's right, after Parejo came on the field, Valencia's offense became more threatening. In the first half, Valencia's offense basically relied on both sides, including the breakthrough of the full-back and the cross from the wing to find a high point. Negredo .But after Parejo came up, they had more ways to go on the ground to cooperate."

Marcelino on the sidelines yelled at Da Santos: "Why did you hesitate just now? Follow me! Follow him closely!"

Big Santos glanced at Parejo, and he was indeed the one who missed out just now.When completing the first wave of defense, he did not follow Parejo closely, which caused Parejo to receive and pass the ball very comfortably after he advanced.

In two minutes, Santos Jr. and Cheryshev began to switch sides.Bruno found Ye Qi in the frontcourt with a long pass. Ye Qi, who was holding the ball with his back, didn't turn around immediately, because just like in the first half, Otamendi stepped forward.

Hey, your kid is out again?

Ye Qi smiled, and glanced to the sidewalk from the corner of his eyes.
