Chapter 41 The Crucial Second Ball

Valencia's goalkeeper, Canizares, did not directly kick the football forward, but chose a short pass. Pass the football to Ayala.

This is a typical feature of Changsheng's tactics.

That is to try not to use big feet in the backcourt, and to kick the football up layer by layer.

Don't let the football fly around in the air, so you won't be in control. It is safest only when the football is under your feet.

After a summer of training, the Valencia players have mastered the passing and receiving of this tactic.

Football has stayed the longest in the midfield and moved forward a little bit.

As long as Real Madrid's players showed the slightest sign of going up to grab the ball, they quickly passed the football back.

Like a frightened bird.

Although this is a bit wretched, it is very safe.

Anyway, they are leading by one goal now, and it is naturally not them who should be anxious, but Real Madrid.

After so many passes, the football advanced to the front of Real Madrid's penalty area.

It is rare for Real Madrid to see such an offensive team. If there is a chance, it is not to hurry up and rush up, but to go slowly and dawdly.

Valencia football made them very uncomfortable.

But this time, they were all engrossed, staring at Valencia warily.

Especially the few Real Madrid players around Pavon.

Pavon is no longer "vigilant", he should be "nervous".

He stared at the football nervously, praying in his heart that the football would not fly to him.

If a central defender has such a mentality, it can only mean that he has surrendered.

His prayer didn't help, this time the football didn't fly to his side, but was brought and killed by someone!

Not Ibrahimovic, but Vicente!

※※※

Previously, Valencia's offense was concentrated on the center and right,

Because Mendieta on the right can move closer to the center, so if the offense is in these two places. It was aimed at Pavon.

As a result, Vicente was unwilling to be lonely on the left.

Xin said such a fun thing, you don't call me?

So he simply dribbled the ball from the left and killed him!

He had been honestly playing on the wing before, but this time he suddenly cut in and caught Real Madrid by surprise.

Naturally, Pavon didn't expect that in the face of Vicente's aggressive offensive, he didn't know what to do, standing there like a wooden stake.

Vicente flicked the football to the side, accelerating past Pavon who was already stunned.

Just as he was about to break into the penalty area, Hierro rushed out from the side and knocked down Vicente!

"Oh! Foul! Foul Hierro! This position gives the opponent a free kick, and I will definitely get a yellow card for myself..." the commentator Moen said with a frown. "But if Hierro doesn't foul, Vicente will directly break into the penalty area... At that time, even if you want to foul, it will be impossible!"

Sure enough, the referee ran up and gave Hierro a yellow card.

The captain of Real Madrid didn't even look at it, he slapped Pavon and shouted: "Cheer up, Francisco!"

Pavin nodded numbly—he was completely terrified.

Seeing him like this, Hierro could only sigh helplessly.

He also thought of what the Valencia coach said before the game. To be honest, at the beginning, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zidane's Pavon policy.

It can not only attract world-class superstars to join, but also allow players from their own youth training to get a chance to play. This is really a policy that has the best of both worlds. As the captain of Real Madrid, Hierro is a person who attaches great importance to blood. He also hopes to see more young talents from Castilla at the Bernabeu, just like Raúl and Casillas.

But now seeing Pavon's poor performance in the game, he also began to wonder if he was too anxious to do so?

It's clear that Pavon isn't quite ready to play in the opener...

He wasn't even planning to start him at first, but just three days ago, Florentino ordered that Pavon must appear in the starting lineup for the opening game...

At that time, he still thought that the big deal would be to work harder and help Pavin share more.

Who would have thought that his share of the burden would actually be the cause of the team's loss...

Later, Pa Wen was regarded as a breakthrough point again and again. He felt very anxious in his heart, but he couldn't help Pa Wen.

Because he knew that the other party was eyeing the space behind him.

It seems that the Chinese was right... There is indeed a problem with Zidane's Pavone policy...

※※※

Florentino's face on the podium was quite ugly.

It can be said that he has become Baogong...

The head coach of Valencia is clearly slapping himself in the face with practical actions now!

In this opening match, which was live broadcast across Spain, everyone saw how embarrassed Pavon was when facing Valencia's offensive.

Pavon's failure means the failure of Zidane's Pavon policy.

Florentino was not reconciled.

He clenched his fists and his face was gloomy.

He has already firmly remembered Chang Sheng's name in his mind.

Of course, such "remembering" is not a good thing for Chang Sheng.

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't care about Florentino's mood.

When Hierro fouled Vicente, he was furious on the sidelines: "This should be a red card! It's a **** red card! Otherwise we will go it alone!"

But the referee ignored him.

Compared with Real Madrid, he is much softer.

Valencia's free kick was taken by Mendieta himself. The football hit the wall directly and bounced back.

Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the free kick just now was really good in distance and angle, they were worried that Valencia Lin would use this opportunity to score directly.

it's good now……

The crisis is over!

But some people don't see it that way.

Chang Sheng saw Mendieta regain the bounced football on the sidelines, and shouted: "Pass back! Pass back!"

At the same time he waved his arms backwards.

He was afraid that Mendieta would take a long shot directly. Because Mendieta has a long-range shot.

But he doesn't need Mendieta's long shot right now.

Mendieta seemed to hear Chang Sheng's cry, he turned around and passed the football back, and then glanced at Chang Sheng.

The football fell to the feet of centre-back Carvalho.

Chang Sheng yelled again from the sidelines: "Hold on, Carvalho!"

He was worried that Carvalho would make a long pass and pass the football back to the goalkeeper, and it would be over.

Now it is to lure the snake out of the hole. If the pass back is too fast, how can the giant python of Real Madrid be fooled?

You have to pass slowly, draw slowly, and after drawing the opponent out, suddenly counterattack and kill them back to the carbine!

After signaling Carvalho to stabilize, he waved his arms to make the formation retreat as a whole.

Only in this way can Real Madrid be brought out.

At that time, Real Madrid will definitely be rushed out.

※※※

As expected, when Valencia was back and forth and slowly retreated, Real Madrid naturally refused to let go of such a chance to counterattack.

They are now one goal behind, based on an equalizer.

Seeing Valencia pass back so slowly, I didn't think too much about it. There was only one thought in my mind-we can't let them just pass back to the goalkeeper. If they can steal the ball, then they can directly hit a beautiful goal Fight back?

So like the ebb and flow of the tide, Valencia retreated, and Real Madrid followed suit.

Even after the opponent's central defender went in, the football was still under the control of the Valencia players.

Football has fallen to Ayala's feet.

Ayala did not pass the football to Carvalho this time, but suddenly passed 1

The football fell to Baraja's feet.

Baraja quickly turned around, hooked the football, and passed Raul who came up to press.

Then he sent out the football.

The person who received the football this time was Aimar.

Aimar split the football and gave it to Mendieta in the rib.

Mendieta sent the football to Zlatan Ibrahimovic again.

So the Swede faced Francisco Pavon again...

"Again! Valencia turned from defense to offense! Their speed is amazing!"

Moen narrator was surprised.

Because just a few seconds ago, Getafe was still passing back all the way, and now it has reached the front of the opponent's penalty area!

"It seems that Real Madrid has encountered a strong enemy in this opening game!"

Because Real Madrid used to rush out to prepare for a counterattack, so now they have no time to return to defense.

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic faced Pavon, there was no one around Pavon who could help him...

Ibrahimovic smiled at Pavon again, with a "hey, we meet again" feeling.

Pavon was taken aback by this smile, and Ibrahimovic directly used his footwork to break through Pavon!

Very relaxed and thankful.

It was as if what he lived was not a real person, but a triangular cone during training.

Pavon reacted and quickly turned around to chase. It was too late, and Ibrahimovic directly kicked and shot!

A long shot from outside the penalty area!

Cesar originally thought that Ibrahimovic was going to break through Pavon, and then confronted him one-on-one.

Unexpectedly, the opponent just passed Pavon, and he directly kicked a long shot.

This change in rhythm disrupted Cesar's movement frequency. His center of gravity was lowering before, ready to attack. Now he had to ascend rapidly, making a lunge.

For a powerful long-range shot, even if the save is half a second slower, it is impossible to save the football, unless the ball is aimed at the goalkeeper's body.

So it's no surprise that Cesar missed again.

"Relatan Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic!!" the commentator Moen shouted.

His eyes were wide open, staring at the court closely, as if he couldn't believe it!

"Thirty-three minutes into the game, Valencia is already leading by two goals at home!"

"This is Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first goal for Valencia! He is only nineteen years old this year! He spent 8 million dollars in Valencia's transfer fee in the summer, moving from Malmo, Sweden. Come on! At that time, many media questioned whether he was worth such a high price. But his performance in today's game has successfully silenced some people! He faced Pavon many times in the game, completely Gained the upper hand, and now, after breaking through Pavon, he scored his first goal in Valencia!"

After the goal, Ibrahimovic looked very excited. He even took off his jersey, showing his strong muscles and running wildly on the court.

Chang Sheng on the sidelines was also very excited.

This time he took the initiative to run to find someone to hug.

The crucial second ball is finally here!

The game is in hand!
