"Everyone, this is the Mestalla Stadium of the Bat Corps. For Valencia, this is a battle of revival. For Burleigh, this is a battle that witnessed a miracle. It is of extraordinary significance to the team." In fact, this game is far less exaggerated than what the commentator said, and it is even far less attractive than the European derby of other giants in the Champions League quarter-finals. What he said made the fans fascinated, so what is he doing here?This is his responsibility. The meaning of the commentator's existence is to make an unattractive game look good.

"Let me introduce Valencia's starting lineup for you. Flores has always been conservative. He even set up a 4231 defensive counterattack formation at home, which made many people look surprised. Yes So, my understanding is that Valencia is trying to win every game, starting with the draw. Well, Valencia's starting lineup is, goalkeeper Canizares; the defense line is from left to right. Moretti, Ayala, Navarro, Cotto Torres; Albelda and Baraja in the midfield, David Silva in the midfield, Vicente on the left, Joaquin on the right, Forward Villa. This is already the strongest lineup that Valencia can field. The rest of the players like Angulo, Regero, etc. seem to be a level worse than these players, but Valencia's bench There is a big killer in Shanghai, and that is Morientes who scored a hat-trick in the face of Olympias. This should be a hat-trick in Morientes' career."

"Burley's tactics in the last two seasons have been mainly offensive, and their offensive line has often become the object of praise in Europe, such as Quaresma who was outstanding in Barcelona, ​​​​for example, in the first season of Barcelona. Messi can be regarded as quite satisfactory. After the two men arrived in Burleigh, they both gave people a bright feeling. Now Quaresma is the extraordinary king in the Premier League. Messi is only one goal away from becoming the top scorer... Unfortunately, Messi was injured for four months. Burleigh's starting lineup is goalkeeper Adler; the defense line from left to right is Baines, Vermaelen, Thiago Silva, Al Weiss; Diarra and Yaya Toure as the double midfielders; Sneijder as the midfielder; Quaresma and Nasri on the left and right; Van Persie as the striker. This is a strange-looking 4231 , the backcourt is all muscular men, and the frontcourt is all technical men. If anyone thinks that this is a disharmonious team because of this, it is a big mistake. This team is not only harmonious, but also has achieved Very harmonious, their unity is stronger than any team in the Premier League, because Burleigh has a core that holds them together, Richard Ferguson."

After playing, Li Cha and Flores shook hands cordially. I am afraid that among the five major leagues, Li Cha is the only one that has not been completely apologetic, not to mention that he has the Spanish coach Hierro in his hand.This makes the Spanish team Burleigh even more special emotion.

Now Hierro has gone to UEFA to take up his post, but the traces of his existence are still remembered by every Spanish fan. They will always remember how Hierro, the meritorious captain, was abandoned by Real Madrid.

beep.

When the opening whistle sounded, Burleigh, who had won the player, rushed towards the Valencia half in a red jersey. Nasri, who was pointed out by Li Cha, quickly became the brightest point in the offense!

After Sneijder received Diarra's pass, he faced the double defense of Baraja and Albelda. This pair of top midfielders in La Liga is Valencia's treasure today. The 32-year-old Albelda is in his last prime as a player.During this period, their spirit, body and experience are at their peak, which is one of the reasons why Valencia was able to reach the European Champions Cup last season.

Sneijder, who was called out by Boas alone before the game, certainly knew this.He even listened to the entire introduction of Boas to Albelda and Baraja. These two guys now need running ability and defensive ability. It can be said that they are the post-Valencia The two toughest guys on the defensive line.

Divide the ball.

Sneijder lifted the ball to Nasri on the wing, and Nasri wiped it into the penalty area along the gap between Moretti and Ayala, even though Albelda was chasing after him He has no cowardice either.

Extraordinary!

At the same moment Ayala rushed over, Nasri used a beautiful reverse turn to dribble the ball around in a circle. Of course, when he came back, he saw Van Persie appearing in the most appropriate position.

"Hit in!"

Nasri took advantage of the situation and stuffed the ball into the penalty area.He is less than ten meters away from Van Persie, the ball will not be missed anyway!

When Li Cha saw Nasri's pass, he smiled, because Nasri was growing up, and he began to understand what kind of position it would be more threatening for him to appear.

Van Persie just shot down to the ground facing the pass, and he could only shoot.Navarro's pulling force behind him was so strong that he couldn't even fall down.

It's a pity that Van Persie fell too suddenly, which caused the kick to fail to fill the position. In a hurry, he could only hit the football with his head-on bone. How could it be possible to gain strength?

After Canizares caught the ball very easily, he immediately counterattacked by throwing the ball. This throw is not high, but the speed is extremely fast and the landing point is very precise. This makes him comfortable to send the ball without having to stop the ball at all.

"Through!!! David Silva sent an unbelievable through ball and the football rolled close to Thiago Silva."

Villa started quickly, almost gritted his teeth and began to sprint with the ball in Burleigh's empty backcourt.

it's over...

When Li Cha saw this scene, he already knew that he was going to lose the ball. He was so preoccupied with watching Nasri's performance that he didn't even bother to see that there were loopholes in his defense line.Thiago Silva has been staring at Villa standing behind the center circle, but he only supported half of Villa's body, which caused Villa to turn around very calmly when the football passed , and can quickly catch up with the football after turning around.

Villa, who was born in 1981, is also a striker from the Spanish lower leagues. He knows how to stand in front of the central defender and not be hindered in the counterattack.

This single-handedly, Villa is determined to win!

The moment Villa rushed into the penalty area, he suddenly slowed down, and Vermaelen quickly caught up.This time, he was faster than Thiago Silva.

Vermaelen measured Villa's dribbling footsteps and quickly blocked in front of the opponent with a sliding tackle. He deliberately pushed his body out a little to ensure that even if he couldn't break the ball, he would block the other half of the shot. line.

Villa chose to hit the goal forcibly this time. He didn't see Vermaelen's appearance at all when he shot, and he saw it later.The action of hitting the door has already been made, and it is too late to change it.

bump!

The football hit Vermaelen hard on the shoulder and changed direction.

Adler has already thrown it out, but no matter what, he can't judge the trajectory of the football after it changes direction.

Slowly, slowly, after being blocked by Vermaelen to unload the force once, it was hoisted directly into the near corner with a parabolic trajectory...

"goooooooooooooaaaaaaaallllllllllll!!!!"

The commentator directly elongated the tone, and then celebrated loudly: "Villa opened the scoring for Valencia. Although there are many lucky elements in this ball, Valencia did lead. There is no dispute!"

Li Cha was not disappointed. It is inevitable for a team that has been focusing on offense to be counterattacked, let alone in the European Champions Cup?Didn't Mourinho's Inter Milan rely on Milito's two counterattacks to win the game?

What?To protest the unfairness of the referee?

Li Cha is not a fool!

The relationship between him and Beckenbauer was originally unclear. Now that Beckenbauer has just come to power, everyone thinks that Beckenbauer is partial to Burleigh, and Burleigh can appear in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Protesting that the referee gave Valencia the home court advantage doesn't mean standing up and giving Beckenbauer two big mouths back and forth?

It seems that having a godfather also has disadvantages, that is, you can't scold others happily after losing the game.

Li Cha smiled indifferently, because he knew.There must be a goal in this game, and it's all about Nasri's enthusiasm.Also had to score one.

Villa showed a little beard on his chin to all the Valencia fans. He joked with the fans in this way, and the Valencia fans responded by giving him the biggest cheers. Valencia was everywhere on the pitch. The roar of the West Asian fans, the bat fans in white jerseys made wave movements in the stands one after another to celebrate the goal.

Flores tilted his head and glanced at Li Cha, who didn't know how to worry at all, and said to himself: "Is it still beautiful? In order to enter the semi-finals. I haven't slept well for a week, and Burleigh almost don't study it. Transparency! If you can't take you down in the defensive counterattack like this, let you perform miracles... then Valencia deserves to be eliminated."

Diarra looked back at Li Cha, as if he was asking, "Do you need to keep an eye on David Silva?"

Li Cha shook his head silently, he agreed to watch the opponent's core players' tactics.But now Valencia is different!Both Joaquin and Vicente have the ability to decide the direction of the game in the game. If too many people are wasted in guarding David Silva, a counterattack by the opponent can cause a three-on-four situation. In the situation, the defender will always suffer, and he must settle this account.Li Cha rejected Diarra's suggestion, but shouted at Yaya Toure: "Yaya, don't be ashamed! Don't be ashamed!!!!"

It's embarrassing enough. Watching the front midfielder is the job of the midfielder, but Yaya Toure failed to complete this job.He was not distracted during the game, but he was too excited to play in the European quarter-finals for the first time. He rushed behind Nasri and prepared to respond to the pass back at any time; while Diarra has been keeping a close eye on Albelda and the interception The opponent's pass, if he comes back to defend Silva, it will be too late. This is the main reason for the conceded goal.

Yaya Toure glared at Silva without saying a word. Today, he plans to fight to the death with this guy who is about the thickness of a firewood stick.

When the Valencia players stood up again, Flores already knew that he was about to face a series of onslaughts without a chance to breathe, so he yelled loudly at the court before Burleigh kicked off. : "Defense! Everyone must concentrate on defending until the opponent's attack is cut off!"

Li Cha smiled disdainfully, trying to cut off Burleigh's attack?How easy!

Immediately afterwards, Burleigh can be described as swarming up. The interspersed positions of the entire Burleigh pass are like two nine-toothed rakes buckled together, which fits perfectly with the Valencia station.

Boas took this opportunity to get close to Li Cha.I would rather sit on the ground and ask my own question: "Boss, you said Flores can train Valencia's defense so well, why isn't he a famous coach?"

Why is Flores not a famous coach?

This question made Li Cha laugh, because he knew that Flores would become a famous coach sooner or later, but whether he could become the world's top coach is still unknown!

In the 2009-2010 season, Flores proved this with his excellent results.Because he led Atletico Madrid to win the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup in which year! !

Not only that, in the 2008-2009 season, he also led Benfica to win the Portuguese Cup.

It is impossible for such a head coach to say that he has no talent, but to become the world's top head coach, not only talent is needed, but also enough luck is needed.

After all, a head coach who directs defensive counterattacks cannot become a top coach in the world. Even Cooper, an expert in defensive counterattacks, has not been able to stand on the glory stage of top coaches, because he is not lucky enough to make him a top coach. Top Europe!

"Tell me what you saw in the game?" Li Cha didn't answer Boas's question, but asked instructively.

Boas stared at the field for a while.I said all the experiences I just summarized: "Valencia's defense is very solid, the links are very tight, and the lineup will not appear crowded when the lineup shrinks. This shows that Flores has put too much effort into defense."

"This is his shortcoming! Now Flores can only defend. You see, Sneijder was robbed by Albelda just now. At this time, if Valencia's formation suddenly unfolds, then Albelda will use it. Two passes can send the ball to Villa's feet. The first time is Joaquin, because Joaquin must be close to the sideline after the formation is unfolded. Our players have no time to follow the past so quickly. This is a loophole. But he No, Albelda didn't know whether to give the ball to Silva who was watched, and sent the ball to Vicente with the last kick, which allowed Alves to snatch the ball back."

Li Chayu said earnestly: "The reason why a head coach sits on the sidelines is that his responsibility is not only to set up tactics for the team and then throw the players on the field and ignore them. On the contrary, he has to pay attention to the normal game and make fine-tuning at any time. .”

"Mr. Boas, tell me, how can we make minor adjustments in this situation?"

Boas said as if awakened: "The full-back presses up to create pressure on Valencia's wing. Let Nasri Quaresma closer to the goal, so that they can send a threatening ball for Van Persie more calmly." .”

"Then why are you still standing here?" Li Cha asked back.

Boas stood up for the first time, walked to the sidelines and shouted: "The full-backs press up, shrink the front field, narrow the field, create a crowded scene for Valencia in the front field, so that they don't know what to do. Which point to guard against!"

Diarra glanced back quickly, because what he heard was not the head coach's voice... This is very strange, how did this white-faced scholar give tactical instructions for the big nurse?

Li Cha walked to the sidelines at the moment when the players were stunned, and yelled, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what your assistant coach is saying!"

Hearing Li Cha's scolding, the Burleigh players instantly felt comfortable, and the entire attacking formation was placed more comfortably.

Li Cha tapped Boas' arm a few times with the back of his hand and said, "Momentum is very important! If the players think he is better than you, how can you be the head coach? Are you going to be my deputy for the rest of your life?"

head coach?

Villas-Boas never thought that he could coach in the top league, especially the top league of the five major football powers. He always believed that this is a process of accumulation. He came to Burleigh to learn. In fact, he did benefit from it. a lot.

"Work hard, I would like to see you sit in the position we once did after both Keane and I retire... But, there is a premise, that is, you can't change jobs, otherwise..."

"How could it be!" Boas immediately denied.

Burleigh finally found a good opportunity in the wild bombardment. Van Persie finally got the football comfortably in the penalty area this time, and immediately raised his foot to hit the goal... Unfortunately, his luck was not very good, the football deviated from the goalpost and went out bottom line.

Canizares, an experienced goalkeeper, saw at a glance that Burleigh was still planning to counterattack in the midfield and was slow to return to the defense. He immediately put the football on the goal line and directly kicked it out.

The ball fell to the midfield, and Albelda overwhelmed Sneijder when he competed for the header, and directly set the ball to Baraja. Baraja passed the ball directly past Burleigh's defense line and ran past Silva is in an offside position at the moment, although it is not obvious, but Li Cha can clearly see it from his coaching bench, but!The line referee didn't even raise the flag, even though the four giants on Burleigh's defense line raised their hands at the same time to chase the line referee, they didn't even look at it. Silva dribbled the ball like crazy and rushed towards Burleigh's half. Thiago- Silva caught up without any delay this time.

When Silva was forced to the edge of the penalty area by Thiago, Vicente had already appeared in the penalty area. Silva directly made a half-high pass and Vicente won the ball and rushed to the top...

2: 0!

In the 37 minutes of the first half, Burleigh hit the goal 11 times with 7 kicks and hit the goal frame without scoring a goal. Valencia used two counterattacks to hit a [-]% scoring rate!

"Whose godfather is this-he-mother?" Li Cha cursed unacceptably. (To be continued..)
