Chapter 33 Genius
It is not appropriate to compare Villarreal's offense to a tide, it has to be compared to a "tsunami".
After all, it was a team that played in La Liga last season. Although they were relegated, they still retained some players who played in La Liga, and the vision and momentum of the teams that played in La Liga are different. From the human point of view, it does have something different from the second division team.
From the perspective of the Getafe players on the field, it was a "tsunami".
A ten-meter-high wave rushed towards them, then hit the embankment, raised a huge wave, and shot them down from the air.
And this dike is... Jose Passarella.
This young rookie!
The central defender Fernando Moreno, who is sitting on the bench, has not been convinced until now. He doesn't understand why he can't even compete with an 18-year-old C team player. Is it really because of the good and ambiguous personal relationship between the head coach and Passarella, as Segura said?
If that was the case, he would never be willing to just become a victim of an affair!
He sat on the bench waiting to see the rookie and the head coach's jokes with a look of disbelief. He thought that when the rookie couldn't resist Villarreal's attack, the head coach would definitely bow to himself.
At least Moreno was able to watch jokes on the bench, and Segura didn't even make the squad for this game.
He sat in the stands with the rest of his teammates who hadn't been named to the 18-man squad, and there was an area allotted to them, and they sat there, waiting to see Jose and Chang Sheng make a fool of themselves, bad luck.
Most of these spectators sitting in the stands were whispering on the bench in the last game, gloating and waiting to see the unlucky people who often win.
Chang Sheng felt that if they didn't do their business there, they would cause trouble and affect the morale of the team, so he simply sent them all to the stands.
And he decided that by the end of this season, these people will not even think about entering the bench.
The players dare to fight against the head coach? The head coach has too many ways to kill these players.
Especially when the head coach is a fucking bastard who is loved by the club president...
He is not afraid of anything, he even dared to go up to Real Madrid to spit and threaten, and he is afraid of a few players from the second division team?

As everyone expected, the offensive of the yellow submarines all rushed towards Jose Passarella.
People sweated for him.
At the beginning, everyone could see that Passarella was struggling to cope. He was desperately adjusting himself to adapt to Villarreal's offense.
Ten minutes into the game, the jersey on his body was stained with a lot of grass green and dark brown, the former was rubbed out on the turf, and the latter was stained from the soil below.
The dirty jersey speaks volumes for the dire situation he faced.
So everyone thinks that he will soon be unable to hold on, and then collapse. Villarreal's offense will flood in from here, and then bring disaster to Getafe's goal.
This "very soon" changed from one minute to three minutes, then extended to five minutes, and then ten minutes.
Now ten minutes have passed, and the score is still 0:0!
Due to tactical reasons, Getafe has fewer offensive opportunities and more defensive time, so the pressure on Jose Passarella can be imagined.
But even under such tremendous pressure, Jose Passarella did not make those fatal mistakes they thought!
Although embarrassed, he persevered!
ten minutes!
This is a critical stage. Villarreal hit him with twice the usual intensive offensive, but his experience increased slowly. In other words, José Passarella equals everyone else's twenty minutes, thirty minutes, even forty-five minutes...
He made it through,
Then he is no longer an inexperienced rookie.
The experience of half a game, that is also experience!
※※※
Villarreal attacked violently for ten minutes and failed to blast Getafe's goal. Generally speaking, at this time, their offensive will slow down, because their physical fitness can't keep up, and they must adjust. They can't fight until the end of the last 90 minutes.
No team, no matter how powerful, can do this.
There has to be a rhythmic adjustment.
They should slow down by now.
But when they thought that they hadn't broken through the rookie's defense after ten minutes of attacking, the Villarreal players were a little unconvinced, holding their breath and insisting on defeating the rookie before giving up.
So under their forceful urging, Villarreal's offensive turned out to be even faster!
But looking back at Jose Passarella, facing Villarreal's offensive, he is no longer as embarrassed as before!
He is gradually adapting to Villarreal's attack, and his strong attributes that are invisible to everyone except his constant victory are in play.
The Villarreal players actually underestimated Jose Passarella when they faced him.
After all, he is an inexperienced rookie, so it is really difficult for others not to despise him...
Most of Villarreal's offenses were quite organized before, and the passing and running positions were decent, but in front of Jose Passarella, it changed and became a solo fight.
It seemed that every Villarreal player who faced Passarella believed that he could easily break through the rookie's defense.
So they just kind of bumped their heads... against a wall.
Eighty-three's [defensive position] ensures that Jose Passarella can appear in the correct position when the score is big. Because that's what this ability does -- it's a player's ability to read the game and put himself in the best position to deal with evolving events. [Prediction] will help players in the early stage of judgment, but the actual positioning depends on this attribute.
As an eighteen-year-old boy, a player in the second division team who has never had professional league experience, Jose Passarella's attributes are quite high. Not even inferior to those main central defenders in the top league teams.
So it is not surprising that those Villarreal players who underestimated the enemy frequently hit the wall...
Jose's only problem now is that he is not physically strong enough for a central defender. If his body is strong enough, combined with excellent [Defensive Positioning] and [Prediction], his defensive ability will be brought to a new level.
But even so, it is enough in the second division.

Francisco Xavi Sanchez is Villarreal's main striker. He has played in the Yellow Submarine for nearly four seasons. Apart from last season due to injury, he played only eleven league games. The other two The season is all about the main force. Some media believe that his absence from serious injuries last season was one of the main reasons for Villarreal's final relegation. Because of his absence, Villarreal's offensive power was obviously compromised.
After his return from injury this season, Villarreal's performance quickly improved. Although they are now ranked fifth in the league, they are still two places away from the top three in promotion. But the gap between the top six points is not big, so Villarreal is very hopeful to return to La Liga after a season of relegation.
This is of course his fault.
In the second division, Xavi Sanchez gallops freely and rarely meets opponents. He is characterized by good technique, fast speed, and strong explosive power. Most of the time, he only needs to speed up with the ball, which is enough to throw off the enemy.
But in this game, he found that his method would not work...
When he faced Jose Passarella for the first time, according to his habitual thinking, he passed the ball directly to the side, preparing to rely on his super explosive power to suddenly start and force a breakthrough.
But as soon as he took the football out, he realized that he had made a mistake...
Because the opponent happened to be on the route of his waving the ball.
So he gave the football directly to Jose Passarella.
He thought it was just the other party's shit luck. The unbelieving Xavi Sanchez soon got the chance to face Jose Passarella again.
Before waving the ball this time, he specifically confirmed the position of Jose Passarella, then waded the ball in the opposite direction and sprinted!
In the next second, he was stumbled and fell to the ground like a dog chewing on food.
Jose Passarella fell behind him, still maintaining a tackle position, with a football at his feet.
"Beautiful! Jose Passarella! He broke Javi Sanchez's ball for the second time! It was a clean tackle!" Even the commentator Ke, who had always thought Passarella was a rookie, Lespo couldn't help but applaud him loudly.
Xavi Sanchez looked back at the young man with a look of surprise on his face: How is this possible! How did he get there? How did he know that I was going to break through here? How could his speed be so fast? !
There are too many questions...
※※※
Xavi Sanchez may not have seen it very clearly, but Chang Sheng off the court has seen the confrontation between the two clearly. When Xavi Sanchez waded the ball, Jose was indeed in his original position. location.
But just as Sanchez waded out the ball, Jose quickly moved to the side, followed by a decisive and fierce tackle.
Then Javi Sanchez's ball and man seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and they bumped into Jose's "tripping horse".
Losing his center of gravity, Xavi Sanchez jumped forward due to inertia, and football blamed Jose for staying on his feet.
Seeing this scene, Chang Sheng clenched his fists.
At this moment, he saw the reward and value of his six months of hard work!
A rough stone was polished by him, slowly revealing the diamond wrapped in a thick layer of stone skin.
Although it has not been cut yet, it has already burst into breathtaking light!
This is the value of youth training!
Chang Sheng suddenly understood why so many FM players like to look for Mavericks all over the world to train them.
Because watching a calf who was originally an ordinary person gradually become a general under his hands, the sense of happiness and accomplishment is really MAX!
He is now convinced that Jose Passarella will become a top central defender under his hands!
Not only these statistics, but more importantly, the quality he showed when he faced such an unfavorable situation in his first game.
That quality may be difficult to measure with numbers, but Chang Sheng is very clear, very good! If the full score is 100 points, then he is 100 points!
This kid... is a true genius!
