Chapter 220: Hardness and softness (Part 1)

"Juan is doing a good job." Cooper nodded slightly. The purpose of introducing Sanchez was to find a substitute for Lopez. Sanchez, who was short and fast, could accomplish this well. Illier, whose condition has declined a lot, may not be as good as him.

"Observation! Let's strive for the first goal!" Mendeta shouted when he ran up - no matter what, Valencia's defense has also been affected, and now the only thing he can rely on is offense!

In two rounds, the first round of the home game won a 1-0 victory. When the away goal rules exist, the away game will be strengthened in the away game in the second round - because even if you score one less goal than the opponent, you can definitely win the final victory through this rule!

Didn’t Mallorca do this last season? While defending tenaciously, they did not give up on the offense and finally scored a valuable away goal away game. The final total score was 2-2, but relying on away goals, they snatched the Super Cup from the arrogant Barcelona!

Cooper's expression remained motionless off the court, but in his heart, he agreed with the decision made by Mendeta.

Tiger has the final say in the offense, but in terms of overall team will, the only one who can command the team is captain Mendieta!

Cooper also has to admit that although Alberda and Palop are also excellent players, they still cannot replace the existence of Canisales and Gerard in terms of experience and cooperation. Although it is okay for a while, when facing a team of Barcelona, ​​they have become weaknesses that can be used by the opponent.

For example, Alberda received a yellow card in the first three minutes, which will have a great impact on his subsequent defense and even the entire team's subsequent defense. Instead of being suppressed by Barcelona and then the defense line collapsed, it is better to strengthen the offense and score one more goal, and Barcelona will score two more goals!

Tiger took the penalty for this corner kick. He observed the situation in the penalty area. Both central defenders came up, and Alberda also came up. Barcelona's height in the penalty area seemed to be a bit insufficient - this is also a new problem in Barcelona's defense line. After Nadal transferred to Mallorca and Bogard faded out of the main lineup, there was no player in their entire defense line with a height of 1.85. There were only two people on the court who were over 1.85 meters tall, and they were all offensive players - Rivaldo and Cruivit...

Seeing Pellegrino who was rushing up, Tiger passed the ball into the penalty area. Pellegrino had the upper hand in the match against Averado. He completed a header but topped the ball with Averado's interference.

Barcelona immediately launched a counterattack, while Valencia's players rushed backwards like a tide, and launched fierce pressing in the midfield - even if it was an offense, it needed to defend first, and this is Valencia.

After a bit of entanglement in the midfield, Valencia began to slowly fall at a disadvantage. Although Barcelona's formation is 433, Figo and Rivaldo often retreat to the midfield to help the organization. Although Tiger also retreated to participate in the confrontation, his performance in defense was average. Although his tackle ability now reaches 200, the defense in the midfield is different from the defender, and it is not enough to run or collide.

The ball was passed to Rivaldo's feet. Alberda, who had a yellow card, obviously had some concerns in defense. Rivaldo easily broke through. Mundeta returned to defense and tangled Rivaldo. His defensive ability was not bad at all.

Seeing Farinos pushing over to form double teams, Cooper below the court breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, Rivaldo took the ball horizontally and took a long shot with a dodge angle. Gondetta stretched out his foot to block it, but Rivaldo broke through. Then before Farinos could come to fill the position, Rivaldo raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!

The ball flew directly over Pellegrino's head, and Cruivet, who was inserted in the back row, beat Jukic and headed to attack!

The ball flew quickly to the upper left corner of the goal. Although Palop tried hard to save, it was still a little bit worse. The ball flew into the goal quickly!

There was a huge cheer immediately in the stands. Rivaldo and Cruivet's cooperation was indeed excellent, and the goal was scored quite beautifully - this is exactly what Barcelona fans hope to see, and it also strengthened their confidence that this game will definitely win the final victory!

Rivaldo and Cruivet hugged each other, while Valencia's players became the foil for their celebrating goals.

"This kick pass is really fucking beautiful." Tiger muttered. Rivaldo's kick pass seems simple, but it contains the grasp of the timing and the tacit cooperation with Cruivet - this kind of ball can also be passed, but the cooperation between him and Valencia's striker does not seem to be so tacit understanding...

"Needless to say, we can only attack below." Tiger whispered to Menditta: "My position should be a little further ahead, maybe I can catch them off guard. What they lack in the defense line is the height and speed."

"I understand, let's start the attack next. No matter what, we can only attack now." Menditta nodded and said to all the Valencia players who were surrounded.

If Barcelona equalizes the total score, the opponent will definitely launch a more fierce attack next. Instead of defending it cowardly, it is better to launch a fierce attack to win the initiative by scoring the goal - if they score one more, Barcelona will have to score two before they can win!

What's more, compared with Barcelona's offense, their defense is not as flawless as the offense, and it can even be said to have big loopholes!

After a while of celebration, Barcelona players returned to their positions and the game started again.

After taking the ball from Sanchez, Tiger passed it back and then ran forward by himself. Farinos received the ball and then passed it to Gondetta on the right.

Mendeta took the ball and pushed it a few steps. Seeing Barcelona's defensive center of gravity on his side, Mendeta immediately took a big foot and moved the ball to the left!

Kili stretched out his foot and removed the ball and had played three league games. Tiger, as a key signing, has completed three assists in two games. Pellegrino has become a member of the defensive line. Sanchez also became the main force in this game, and Kili's performance seems a bit dull.

After removing the ball, Guardiola came over from the middle to fill the position. Kili raised his foot and made a fake pass, and then forced his way forward and broke through!

Caught off guard, Guardiola was left behind by Keelli. Keelli, who got rid of the opponent, immediately began to break through along the left-wing road. Her appearance was ordinary and a bit like an old farmer, and her movements dribbling were quite simple and unpretentious, but his speed of advancing forward was not slow at all!

Rezig rushed forward with a rash pounce, but the Dutch defender, who is famous for assists, is very average in defense. This is also the reason why he failed in AC Milan and played well in Barcelona - La Liga is more suitable for this assist-type full-back.

However, his characteristics allowed Kili to break through him quickly. Kili did not make any gorgeous fake moves, but instead threw away Rezig in the entanglement of close-fitting. Although he was shorter than Rezig, Kili gained the upper hand in the confrontation of close-fitting.

After shook off Rezig's entanglement, Kili did not go down the bottom directly, but instead slammed into the middle and cut in!

Barcelona's defense was indeed not very good. After Kiri cut in, their defense immediately became a little confused. At this time, Kiri chose to pass the ball and handed the ball directly to Tiger at the front of the penalty area.

Seeing that Barcelona's defense was a little messy, Tiger immediately completed a sharp breakthrough!

The speed attribute has increased by nearly five times, and it was immediately fully displayed at this time!

When Tiger received the ball, there was a Barcelona defense line in front of him. However, he did not choose to break through any of them, but directly drove the ball near the baseline, then kicked his feet, and rushed towards the ball that was kicked to the baseline by him!

Seeing Tiger sprinting towards the bottom line in this way, Frank Debord reacted quickly, and he immediately turned around and chased the ball. Tiger used his power to kick the ball very cleverly. No Barcelona defender could destroy the ball's rolling route. If he wanted to stop Tiger from getting the ball again, he could only control the ball in front of him!

When Debor turned around, Tiger was still about two meters behind him, but when he turned around, Tiger was already running side by side with him, and when Debor began to sprint, Tiger had already left him behind!

Explosion power! The speed that explodes instantly!

The competition between speed and power is not all barbaric, but rather a kind of beauty that makes people feel refreshed!

If Tiger's way of playing football before was extremely soft, then now he has just reached the extreme!

From the bottom line to the nearest of the penalty area line, there were about twenty meters. In the sprint of these twenty meters, Tiger completely gained the upper hand and grabbed the ball in front of Debor!

After receiving the ball, Tiger did not drag the ball. He did not shoot from this place with almost no angle, but passed the ball directly to the middle!

There are many players in Barcelona's penalty area, but this ball was not passed into the penalty area, but was sent to the edge of the penalty area!

The one who plugged in from that position was Alberda!

The 22-year-old young back midfielder completely sprinted at his highest speed, driving a violent storm. When he rushed to the front of the ball, he swung his right foot while running, and then pulled the rolling ball hard!

Pass, run, shoot! Complete in one go!

Alberda has a strong strength and his long-range shooting ability is also quite good. He also scored a very high level without anyone interfering with this long-range shooting!

The ball drew a white light in the air, then flew into the penalty area, and then plunged into the dead corner of the goal before Hasp saved!

The whole Camp Nou was silent!

One minute after they scored the goal, after they were confident that there was no problem with the victory of the game, Valencia immediately equalized the score!
