Chapter 38 The biggest destiny
When he first saw Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, Cooper wondered if he had seen it wrong?
The two defensive midfielders who worked well together in the past two games, Baraja and Pablo Garcia, were separated. After Beybour returned from injury, he quickly regained his main position.

Right back Gaspar was also placed on the bench, replaced by Fresnedoso.

But the question is, where will Atletico Madrid's double-championed midfielder play when he steps up?
When the game was about to start, after the players from both teams set up their positions in their own half, Cooper was surprised again.

Goalkeeper: Molina;

Defense: Capdevila, Santi Denia, Gamarra and Aguilera;
Midfield: Beybour and Baraja form a double defensive midfielder, with Solari, Bellelon and Fresnedoso in front;
Forward: Hasselbaink.

What surprised Cooper the most was that Fresnedoso actually played on the right, and in a forward position. Instead, Aguilera, who had performed well in the past two games, was suddenly pulled back to the right back. .

As a veteran, can Aguilera play right back?
The answer is yes, because he is really comprehensive.

But Fresnedoso's offensive power is not as good as Aguilera.

Cooper suddenly realized that his opponent seemed to have changed again.

Against Barcelona and Malaga, Yang Hao adopted two different tactical ideas. The only thing that is the same is that his formation always uses 4231, and tonight at the Mestalla Stadium, he is still like this.

Is this kid addicted to playing?
Cooper's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

He was a little worried. After all, Atletico Madrid's response was beyond his expectation. But at this moment, the game was about to begin. Valencia's starting tactics were determined early on. Everyone's thinking had been unified. There was no need to changed.

Therefore, Cooper immediately made up his mind, walked to the sidelines, signaled his players, and further increased the offensive firepower and pressing intensity after the start. He wanted to score a goal from the start.

Only scoring goals can make people feel at ease!
……

As soon as the game whistle blew, Valencia's players rushed forward quickly.

Especially the little bugs Lopez and Angulo in front are very fast, and they can go straight to Atletico Madrid's defense in one go.

All three lines of the Bat Legion pressed forward, showing a determination to win regardless of the situation.

Yang Hao watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but sigh: In this aspect, Cooper is much better than Eriksen.

Atletico Madrid was well prepared for this.

Not only did the entire midfield shrink, but Hasselbaink at the front actively harassed the two central defenders Pellegrino and Dukic, which caused Valencia's charge to directly hit Atletico Madrid. of iron and steel.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, various targeted tactics immediately emerged.

Cooper also quickly saw Atletico Madrid's defensive strategy tonight.

The Argentine's brows suddenly frowned. He found that Atletico Madrid didn't seem to be as easy to handle as he thought.

Yang Hao seems to be adopting the 4231 tactic in this game, but there are actually changes.

The main thing is at this point in Beypur.

When Atletico Madrid retreated, the last holding midfielder was actually very close to the two central defenders, which formed a stable pattern of three defensive players in the penalty area.

These three people are obviously meant to contain Valencia's two forwards, Lopez and Angulo.

Only then did Cooper understand why Yang Hao would take down Pablo Garcia and use Beybour, who had returned from injury.

Because the Czech midfielder can play both the defensive midfielder and central defender positions, he is more suitable for this role than Pablo Garcia. He can even conclude that Atletico Madrid must have practiced it repeatedly in the past week's training. After considering both players, the decision was finally made.

Beybour retreated, and Baraja was left alone in the midfield?
No, Solari and Fresnedoso will move closer to the center, forming a similar three-midfield pattern, while the two full-backs will press forward to withstand Mendieta and Kilí. Gonzalez.

At this moment, the entire Atletico Madrid midfield and backfield were like a huge pocket, and Valencia's offense rushed in, as if it was directly covered.

What's even worse is that Valencia's two full-backs are both 35-year-old veterans. Although Angeloma and Carboni are both good, they were very exhausted after two consecutive hard games.

In this case, can they still frequently participate in the attack?How effective is it?
Cooper stood on the sidelines with a livid look on his face.

He realized that he had hit the iron plate.

That damn young man from Atletico Madrid dug a big hole for him, and he happily jumped into it!
But now, there is nothing we can do. Even if we knew it was a trap, we would have already jumped into it.

Whether it's life or death, you still have to see the real results in the competition.

So, Cooper walked to the sidelines again, waved his hand, and motioned for Carboni and Angeloma to move up.

Atletico Madrid only has one forward, so why are Valencia's full-backs staying behind?
charge!charge!
fuck him!

……

"Cooper is truly Cooper!"

Yang Hao also started to feel a little nervous.

His thinking and tactics are right, but he may not win on the court.

There is a saying: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Valencia is so arrogant now because they want to bully Atletico Madrid and create goals.

Many senior fans may have thought of the routine Yang Hao adopted at Atletico Madrid.

Yes, it was the tactics used by Real Madrid against Valencia in the 2000 Champions League final.

In that game, Del Bosque dug a big hole for Cooper and filled it directly.

Bosque used the 532 tactic, and Yang Hao just made some adjustments based on the characteristics of Atletico Madrid players.

Many people thought that the disparity of 3-0 was due to the strength gap between the two sides, but it was not.

Valencia is not much different from Real Madrid in terms of strength. In the two rounds of La Liga this season, Valencia defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at the Bernabeu and shook hands 1-1 at home. It can be said that they are evenly matched.Even the Bat Legion is slightly better.

So why was there such a huge victory in this final?

The reason is simple. Valencia's tactics were completely restrained by Del Bosque.

Many people have the impression that Del Bosque is a good old guy. He was very popular with the superstars during the Galacticos period. Even when he later coached the Spanish national team, he was always indifferent. There seemed to be no change. He just copied Barcelona's style of play.

Therefore, I always feel that Del Bosque's tactics are not very good.

In fact, don't underestimate Del Bosque.

Being able to lead Real Madrid to win the Champions League twice, especially the one in 2000, is very valuable. Especially in the competition with top coaches such as Cooper and Ferguson, Del Bosque is not inferior, which shows his tactical attainments. .

As for the national team later adopting Barcelona's style, this is normal, because Barcelona is at its peak and its talents are at its peak, so there is no reason not to use it. But on the other hand, if you think about it, is it easy to copy Barcelona's style in the national team?

You know, even in Spain, Barcelona's approach is unique.

Is there a second team like Barcelona in La Liga?
Vicente del Bosque's Spain looks very similar to Barcelona, ​​but in fact it's not the same at all.

Going back to the UEFA Champions League final in 2000, Real Madrid really forced Valencia to no avail.

If Yang Hao remembers correctly, Valencia seemed to have only one shot on goal in that game, but it failed to pose a threat. On the other hand, Real Madrid counterattacked continuously and threatened Valencia's goal more than a dozen times.

So many people who didn't watch the game would have the illusion that Real Madrid was playing against Valencia.

Actually?

It was Real Madrid’s counterattack against Valencia.

When Yang Hao watched this game, he always felt strange. Valencia clearly had the advantage, but how could they miss the pass after entering the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid?
The entire ball path has advanced to the most critical link, and then it breaks?

Thinking about it later, it's actually very simple. They lack a core player who can hold the ball at this point and create opportunities for his teammates.

For example, Belleron, Aimar, or even Zidane.

This is Valencia’s biggest destiny!

……

As Valencia's army pressed forward, the fans at the Mestalla Stadium cheered wildly.

The Bat Legion has good results and faces relegation-relegated Atletico Madrid at home. Isn’t that a win?

Tonight, more than 5 Valencia fans came to the scene just to see the team's exciting performance of slaughtering Atletico Madrid.

The table is set, the beer is ordered, and the melon seeds are put on the table, let’s get started!

Valencia attacked like crazy, and after 10 minutes, everyone was on the attack.

Carboni and Angeloma almost rooted themselves in the frontcourt, and Atletico Madrid was forced to retreat to the 30-meter area. The situation looked precarious.

But Yang Hao actually didn't panic at all on the sidelines.

Because Valencia could not create a threatening offense at all, the thunder sounded loud, but in fact the raindrops were very small.

In addition to lacking a threatening midfielder, Valencia also lacks a forward who can dominate the penalty area.

Whether it is Lopez or Angulo, the most threatening thing is when counterattacking, and under Atletico Madrid's intensive defense, it is difficult to create opportunities.

After the previous ten minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Atletico Madrid players also discovered that Valencia was not as strong as they thought, and they began to play with more and more confidence.

Valencia's players started to get a little impatient.

The two sides have different game strategies. Atletico Madrid wants to defend from the beginning, while Valencia wants to score goals from the beginning.

In this case, the players' mentality is also changing.

Yang Hao kept telling the players to stay steady on the sidelines, asking them to continue to be patient and focused.

On the other hand, Cooper looked very stable in front of the home team's coaching bench.

Because he really has no better adjustment plan.

In the opinion of the game commentator, Yang Hao was worried.

"Atletico Madrid's situation is precarious now, Valencia is just a little bit away from scoring a goal."

"Yang Hao is still young after all. He still needs to learn more from famous coaches like Cooper, especially his magnanimity and self-cultivation."

"It should be said that Atletico Madrid's defense was pretty good tonight, but you can't win the game just by relying on defense."

"Look at this time, Valencia is still attacking. Angeloma on the right moves forward and Capdevila comes to defend."

"Passed it to Mendieta and went to the baseline."

"Mendieta knocks back, two-for-one!"

"Santi Denia made the first tackle and defused a Valencia attack."

"The ball went to Capdevila and Atletico started to counterattack."
