Chapter 40 Defeating Magic with Magic

When referee Antonio Andreu blew the final whistle, the entire Mestalla stadium erupted in wailing.

Hill Jr. and Paul Futrey sat in the chairman's stand, suppressing their inner excitement and feeling very, very painful.

How they wanted to rush down and cheer with the Atletico Madrid players celebrating wildly in the stadium.

But, they can't do it.

Because, at this moment, they are sitting next to Valencia President Cortes and other management.

1 is better than 3!

According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

This was a score that shocked everyone.

Before the game, no matter who guessed the outcome of the game, they would never have imagined that it would be such a score.

Outrageous!

It even makes people wonder, is this a match-fixing?
How could Valencia, which was invincible in the Champions League, be played like this at its home court?
But those who are familiar with La Liga will know that this cannot be match-fixing.

Because no one can afford Valencia's asking price.

It's about the Champions League, that's tens of millions of euros in revenue, who dares to bet?

Judging from the game process, both teams also tried their best.

In the first half, Atletico Madrid took a 2-goal lead thanks to Hasselbaink's brace.

After changing sides in the second half, Valencia once again launched a frantic attack. Unexpectedly, not long after the start, the defense fell again.

Baraja suddenly grabbed the ball in the middle, stole the ball, and moved to the right.

Aguilera crossed Fresnedoso, dribbled the ball to the right side of Valencia's penalty area, passed the ball to Hasselbaink, and entered the penalty area decisively.

After Hasselbaink stopped the ball near the right line of the penalty area, facing Pellegrino's defense, his body could not take advantage and failed to turn around, but he shrewdly passed the ball back to Aguilera.

The captain of Atletico Madrid made a light challenge in the penalty area. From the left side of the small penalty area, Belleron followed up and scored a header from close range, 3-0!

This conceded goal caused Valencia to completely lose confidence.

Cooper immediately made substitutions and replaced the underperforming Herard with Albelda to strengthen the team's midfield defense.

Substitutions barely stabilized the defense, and Valencia's stars also showed a threat.

When Mendieta took the ball on the right rib, he forcibly created an opportunity and made a wonderful pass to Lopez in the penalty area. The latter easily hit the shot and got a goal back for Valencia.

It was only the 63rd minute of the game at this time.

Valencia fans' hopes were rekindled, and the players began to actively plan attacks.

Yang Hao made decisive substitutions. In the 65th and 70th minutes, he made two substitutions in a row to strengthen the team's defense and stabilize the position again. After that, the game completely entered a deadlock.

Especially in the 81st minute, Mendieta could no longer hold on, and Cooper had to make substitutions.

At this moment, the game is basically over.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 3-1 in an away game and once again won a valuable victory.

……

"He worked hard, Paul, he really worked hard!"

Little Hill excitedly grabbed Paul Futre's hand, and his voice was trembling and choked, showing his excitement and excitement at this moment.

The Portuguese is not much better, and his feelings for Atletico Madrid are still very deep.

"All of them thought that I was deceived by Yang Hao, but how did they know what Yang Hao actually said to me? I'm not a fool. I don't have any real information. Will I be deceived by him?"

It seems that Xiao Hill has been holding it in his heart for a long time, and now he can finally let it out.

If nothing else, Yang Hao has proven himself in the past three duels.

From now on, who will question Atletico Madrid's decision to hire Yang Hao?

"I really didn't expect it!" Paul Futrey also had mixed emotions.

I'm afraid this is something no one has thought of, right?
At first, the entire Atletico Madrid management thought this was a crazy decision, including Paul Futre.

But now it seems that it is this crazy decision that is saving Atletico Madrid.

Regardless of whether he can successfully avoid relegation this season, Yang Hao has already impressed the entire European football world.

……

Compared to the unsmiling arrogance when shaking hands before the game, after the game, when Cooper came over to shake hands with Yang Hao, the look on his face was obviously much more relaxed, and he looked a lot more lonely at the same time.

"You performed very well tonight and deserved this victory." Cooper could afford to lose.

One sentence changed Yang Hao's impression of him a lot.

"Thank you. The most important thing is that you are fighting on two fronts. It consumes too much."

Cooper smiled slightly, which was a comforting statement. As a professional head coach, Cooper knew better than anyone else that Valencia was really defeated, and it was completely defeated.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You said." "How did you come up with the idea of ​​adopting tonight's tactics?"

When asking this question, Cooper's eyes were fixed on Yang Hao, as if he wanted to take in all the changes in Yang Hao's expression, even the smallest movements, and then judge how true the answer given by Yang Hao was. sex.

Even if he loses, he still needs to know how he lost.

"Intuition." Yang Hao didn't think much and replied directly.

"Intuition?" Cooper raised his voice, a little surprised.

"In the past week, I have repeatedly watched many of your Valencia games this season, especially some important games. I also studied some of the games you lost. I feel that with a game like tonight's A set of tactics, using defensive counterattacks to counter your defensive counterattacks, should work.”

Having said this, Yang Hao grinned and said, "I didn't expect that I was right in my bet."

This is called defeating magic with magic.

really?
Cooper looked at Yang Hao with some suspicion in his eyes, but did not ask.

He never believed that Yang Hao was gambling, because people who gamble would not have such determination and fighting spirit.

Before Atletico scored the goal, and even after the goal, Atletico Madrid was already extremely embarrassed by Valencia. It can even be said that as long as Valencia passes the ball in place, Atletico Madrid will be finished.

At such a critical moment, gambling people will definitely be shaken.

But Yang Hao has always persisted.

He not only insisted on himself, but even Atletico Madrid players insisted on it. This proved that they must have been angry before the game. Yang Hao must have told the players all the difficulties they would encounter during the game. and reached a consensus.

Is this still gambling?
But Cooper felt that the reason why Yang Hao said this was purely to make him feel better.

Thinking of this, he said nothing more.

"I wish you good luck, young man!" Cooper said goodbye to Yang Hao.

"After tonight, your relegation situation will be completely reversed, but your next opponents will also pay more attention to you. I really hope you can lead the team to successfully avoid relegation. This will be a legend!"

Yang Hao nodded slightly, "Thank you."

From beginning to end, Cooper has a serious face, and he seems to be a really rigid and stubborn guy.

But he's a very good manager.

In his previous life, Yang Hao disliked Cooper very much because of Ronaldo, but after getting to know professional football in depth, especially during the turn of the century, Cooper led two teams to the European finals for three consecutive years. In the end, he failed to win the championship, and Yang Hao's impression of him changed.

After tonight, he no longer hates Cooper.

……

As soon as the game at Valencia's Mestalla Stadium ended, the whole of Spain was completely blown away.

First, countless netizens were discussing it on the Internet, especially on the websites and forums of major newspapers. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused great discussion.

No one expected that Atletico Madrid could defeat Valencia 3-1 on the road and score three goals in a row.

what is this?
This was an undisputed defeat of the opponent.

Before the game, almost everyone looked down on Atletico Madrid, but unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid slapped the doubters in the face during the game.

If there are doubts about the first two rounds, after all, the match against Barcelona is in the Copa del Rey, Malaga is not very strong, and Yang Hao's two consecutive victories are considered by many to be too watery.

But now, facing the powerful Valencia, Atletico Madrid's victory has completely proved itself.

Yang Hao's name has become the focus of discussion among netizens and fans on major websites and forums.

Everyone wants to know how this young coach, who is only 25 years old, does it?
What Ranieri, Antic and other famous coaches cannot do, why can he?
Many professionals have also published columns, believing that Yang Hao is the key to Atletico Madrid's three consecutive victories. In these three games, he used three different sets of tactics based on different opponents, which can be said to be a full explanation. The art of coaching.

"Especially the game against Valencia. Anyone who has watched the game or the live broadcast will be particularly impressed, because Atletico Madrid's defense was watertight and did not give Valencia even the slightest chance."

"In the whole game, Valencia had 16 shots, but only one shot was on target and created a goal."

"This is by no means Valencia's efficiency is too low, but Atletico's defense is too targeted."

"Cooper's team was almost completely frozen in attack, including Mendieta, Lopez and Angulo, etc., all of them were under the iron wall of Atletico Madrid and did nothing."

The tactics Yang Hao created for Atletico Madrid are increasingly recognized, especially after defeating Valencia. In a very short period of time, he became a famous figure in Spain.

But soon, many media and fans realized a problem, that is, they didn't know much about Yang Hao.

Because Yang Hao has been completely ignored by the media and fans since he coached Atletico Madrid, but behind the disregard is contempt. In anger, he simply stopped attending the press conference and refused to be interviewed by all media reporters.

Until now, looking around the world, there is not even one in-depth report about Yang Hao, let alone an exclusive interview with Yang Hao.

This makes everyone want to boast, but for a while they don’t know where to start.

Cooper sent it to them when they really didn’t know how to praise it.

At the post-match press conference, when the media asked him what he thought of the game, the Argentine said that his team did lose to Atletico Madrid. There was nothing to hide, but he still emphasized that Valencia West Asia will qualify for the Champions League next season.

"I'm full of confidence in this!"

Regarding Yang Hao, Cooper also expressed his affirmation unabashedly.

"After the game, I chatted with him for a while. I don't know how to describe him. I feel that many outstanding talents have been born on the football field, and Yang Hao should be the genius on the coaching bench!"
