magic coach

After the start of the second half, Valencia showed a different mental state from the first half. If the first half was hard work, the second half was desperate.

Under the leadership of Cooper, Valencia played a defensive counterattack, but they were not rough, they were technical defensive counterattacks, relying on speed and efficiency, but Valencia changed in the second half, and they became a team. A fierce and rough team, although the tackles did not leave the ground, but they did not stop their feet. There were more kicks in the back of people's calves and ankles, and there were constant small movements of pulling their hands.

In the second half of the game, the total score was 4:1. When facing the opponent's foul that may hurt people, the players of Alkmaar inevitably thought a little more, because Valencia may go home after the game, but Alkmaar still has to play in the final. As a player, who doesn't want to stand in the coveted Champions League final, and if injured, this final will definitely be missed. At this time, young players have a little selfish distraction , Stealing and dribbling are a little timid, not as brave as before.

Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins

Valencia and Alkmaar are very similar in strength. Valencia still has the advantage at home. Alkmaar is timid. Valencia's ball possession rate, cross rate, and number of shots will rise immediately. run away.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Valencia launched an on-the-spot counterattack with a steal in the frontcourt.

Ilier's press made a mistake in Martens' pass. The ball was not delivered to Van Bommel's feet and was intercepted by Mendieta in the middle.

At this time, Mendieta finally showed the role of organizing the midfielder. With one push and one pull, he passed Van Bommel, who was eager to grab, and then calmly pushed with his arch, giving Cobra Illie a through ball.

Straight Pass Diagonal Insertion

Cobra Iliyer is like a poisonous snake launching an attack. It starts instantly and surpasses Martens who is still regretting the mistake just now. Before Lucio intercepts, he kicks and shoots. The ball is not strong, but the angle is extremely tricky, and it goes straight to the goal. to the lower right corner of the .

Iliye's shooting time is very short, so he can't exert his strength, but his shooting position is a little inside the penalty area line, and the pushing shot is quite a dead corner of the goal, so it is quite difficult to save.

At this time, Cesar showed the potential of a world-class goalkeeper in the future. He flew to save almost without any reaction time, but he blocked the ball just before it crossed the line, and then Riise kicked The ball is kicked out of the touchline.

Jiang Mu was very dissatisfied with the defense for these few minutes, but he didn't have time to express his dissatisfaction to the players. The opponent had already sent a throw-in to attack.

The ball was thrown directly into the penalty area like a grenade. The ball was pushed out by Lucio, but the distance was not far.

The ball landed in front of Albelda, and the defensive midfielder also took up the offensive role at this time. He shot furiously, and the ball roared and went straight to the goal.

This kick turned out to be of a high level!Goalkeeper César had to make another brilliant save to get the long-range shot, but it fell to the feet of the Valencia player again, and the ball was hoisted into the penalty area again, this time it was finally caught by the Valencia player Grabbed the spot, but unfortunately Angulo's header missed the post far.

After Valencia's wave of attacks ended, Jiang Mu immediately issued an order to captain Van Bommel, asking him to warn his teammates not to dodge, but to boldly fight with the opponent, and whoever dodges will be replaced.

Jiang Mu's order played a little role. Under the roar of the captain Van Bommel, the players' fighting became active, and the game scene immediately became full of gunpowder.

Since Valencia hadn't scored a goal yet, their mood became more impatient and their actions were greater. Captain Van Bommel wanted to set an example for his teammates, and his fight was equally fierce. In 5 minutes, Valencia launched a goal. A wave of fierce offensive, the midfielder Albelda suddenly dribbled the ball in, under the interference of the defensive players, Albelda dribbled the ball a bit bigger, Van Bommel and Valencia's midfielder Albelda shoveled at the front of the penalty area at the same time The ball collided with each other, and neither Albelda nor Van Bommel stopped their feet. As a result, the ball accidentally rolled to Angulo's feet, and Angulo took the opportunity to draw the ball into the net.

1:0

The Mestalla stadium was full of joy. Although this goal was a bit late, it still gave Valencia fans great hope, because they only need to score two more goals to be able to eliminate Alkmaar. It turned out to be illusory Things, now seem to have some hope.

What made Valencia fans and players even more happy was that in the collision just now, Albelda was fine, but Van Bommel was hit and his thigh muscle was strained.

Conceding a goal is nothing. Valencia needs to score two more goals if they want to come back, but Van Bommel's injury is a problem for Jiang Mu. If Gattuso is injured, Jiang Mu can directly replace him with Engel, but Van Bommel also has the function of transporting the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, which Engel cannot accomplish, and neither can Gattuso. After being on Engel, Alkmaar wants to transfer the ball to the frontcourt Ronaldinho's feet are very difficult, unless Ronaldinho retreats a lot and comes to the front of the penalty area, it is not uncommon to use the front midfielder as a back midfielder. Milan's Pirlo has been used by Ancelotti in this way, but Al Kemar doesn't have such a tradition of counterattacking with long passes, so he can't learn it all at once.

So Jiang Mu pondered over and over again, and finally decided to replace Van Bommel with veteran Ray.

"Van Bommel was accidentally injured, the opponent scored a goal, and Alkmaar was forced to make a substitution, but Jiang Mu replaced the defensive midfielder Enge, but the veteran player who organized the attack, this is a bold substitution. Veteran La Yi has not appeared in the UEFA Champions League for a long time due to age and physical problems, even in the league, he rarely played, but now he appeared in the most tense and intense semi-finals, Jiang Mu's courage and courage are really very impressive amazing."

Jiang Mu's decision not only shocked the fans and the commentator, but also the veteran Lai. He was just regretted and sighed by Van Bommel's injury at that time, and he didn't expect Jiang Mu to let him prepare to play.

"Coach, are you calling me?"

"Yes, Rai, the team needs you now, go up and use your experience to help me defend the last few 10 minutes. We are in a difficult situation."

La Yi nodded in surprise and joy, immediately began to change clothes, and ran a few laps on the sidelines. For veteran players in their 30s, it is necessary to warm up adequately, otherwise they are more likely to get injured.

Alkmaar played against Valencia for three or four minutes with one less player, and the penalty area was even more dangerous. Mendieta was not followed by the fierce Van Bommel, and he behaved like a master. It's like walking in a courtyard, often a through pass and a cross from the wing will keep Alkmaar busy for a long time.

At this time, the veteran La Yi finished warming up, and he suddenly whispered to Jiang Mu: "Coach, the opponent's morale is high, and they have the intention of hurting others. We want to survive this period of time, and we don't want to get hurt. I think there are only fake injuries." gone."

Jiang Mu kept his eyes on the field, as if he didn't hear what Rai was saying, but he patted Rai's shoulder heavily. Brazilian players are old-fashioned, and Rai doesn't know how to work hard in football. The players who have been playing for many years are the best among them. He immediately understood Jiang Mu's meaning, just do this kind of thing, but he can't encourage it as a coach.

Although Jiang Mu acted calmly, it seemed that the goal had no effect on him, but in fact, the goal still made Jiang Mu a little worried.

Valencia must score at least two goals, but as long as Valencia scores another goal, the mentality of the Alkmaar players will immediately become very nervous, and once the players become nervous, the consequences will be disastrous.Therefore, Jiang Mu must not let Valencia score another goal, or must score another goal himself, so as to ensure that the situation of the game is under control.

Lai’s appearance did not attract enough attention from Cooper. He was a bit strange, but at this time, Cooper did not think that an outdated Brazilian veteran could reverse the situation of the game. He still asked his players to fight Come with the spirit and never give your opponent a chance to breathe.

And this time is indeed the best opportunity for Valencia, because Alkmaar's central defender combination is inherently unstable, and it has been able to maintain until now that Valencia scored a goal, mainly relying on the support of the two midfielders , Now that Van Bommel is injured and replaced by an attacking veteran, Valencia's chances are definitely much better than when Van Bommel was on the court.

However, after Ray came on the field, he told Ronaldinho what he meant, and Ronaldinho told Lucio again, and then the whole team understood what to do.

Next, Valencia's players and coaches began to have headaches. They tried to intimidate Alkmaar with fierce killing tactics, but Alkmaar countered with fake injuries and flops, as long as the Valencia players shoveled fiercely , Whether they shovel or not, they must fall down, shout, and stand up for a long time.

The referee Hauge also had a headache. He didn't know whether the Alkmaar player was injured or not, because the Valencia player moved a lot and his expression was very fierce. It seemed that every movement seemed to kill someone, so he could only keep going. Blow the whistle and let the team doctor play, so the rhythm of the game is completely lost, intermittent, sometimes like constipation, sometimes like diarrhea, Valencia wanted to hit the iron while the iron was hot, and scored another goal, but now the rhythm is completely disrupted, so angry Shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

The commentators in the broadcasting booth also had their own opinions. The Spanish commentator saw Alkmaar’s players being carried off the field on a stretcher, and immediately became like a dragon and a tiger when he came on the field. He condemned angrily, “It’s really shameful. It’s so unprofessional! It’s an injury fraud. To win the game, to do such indecent behavior is really embarrassing for Dutch football.”

But the Dutch player said: "Spanish players are as rough as Premier League players. Every move they make seems to want to ruin a player's career. They are terrorists on the pitch. To deal with terrorists, no matter what method they use is reasonable."
