Chapter 342 The Champions Cup Stage

Erikson looked at the Valencia players who were celebrating crazyly - he was indeed deceived by Cooper's tactics - maybe he couldn't be called a scam, it could only be said that it was his misjudgment. He originally thought Cooper was playing the tactics of using physical strength to drag Lazio down. In the second half, he ignored the rapid counterattack launched by the midfield after he intercepted the ball and decided on the victory and defeat in the second half, but ignored the fact that after dragging Lazio into the mud pond of the positional battle and attacking, the fast counterattack launched by the midfield after intercepting the ball was the deadliest!

Originally, Lazio's defense line was impeccable. When Nesta was there, there were almost no weaknesses to exploit in this defense line. Nesta's agility, speed and judgment ability were top-notch. With him, the opponent rarely had fast attacks to fight. However, once Nesta was away, although Mikhainovic and San Sini were also top central defenders, the old Serie A, who were already old in the grade, had the biggest problem, that is, the speed was not fast!

Especially when the opponent has a forward like Lopez and a top passer like Tiger, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can play Lazio's defense line with one shot at the same time!

Originally, Eriksen made the team focus on defense, but Valencia's voluntary move to give up the midfield defense made Lazio unknowingly start to attack, resulting in the space in the half-court becoming larger and larger - in a sense, this is Cooper's tactical victory!

After shaking his head, Erikson stood up. It was just a ball, not the end of the world. At this time, he had to show his calmness.

"Strengthen the offense, don't be afraid of making mistakes, the full-back can only have one assist." He said to Nedved on the sidelines. The Czech nodded and quickly conveyed Eriksen's instructions.

The game started again, and after getting the ball, Bellon quickly passed the ball to the left, allowing Stankovic to rely on breakthroughs to complete the attack.

Although Lazio's midfielder is excellent, he also has a flaw - that is, the lack of assaulters. Stankovic has never been a player with excellent assault ability. Peron is good at dispatching and organizing and long-range shot support. Although Nedved's playing in Serie A has been getting better and better since the beginning of this season, he is not the core Juventus who can shoot well in the future. Although Lazio has a lot of talents in the midfield, he lacks a player who can break through...

Eriksen made a mistake in placing troops. In fact, on the right side, this game is more suitable to send Portuguese man Concesan as a right side player, rather than Nedved, who has performed well recently. In this case, Concesan is more useful now than Nedved.

In the absence of breakthroughs, Lazio's offense was a bit awkward. They had just passed the half, but were strongly suppressed by Valencia. Instead, they were robbed by Valencia in the half of the team, so they almost couldn't even hold the ball.

Valencia's players did perform at a high level in this game. Each midfielder is not limited to his own position. Their running position is quite flexible and powerful - they are not afraid of their physical fitness declining like this. Anyway, their physical fitness is quite good now...

Nedved took the ball and planned to break through. Tiger retreated and planned to attack his opponent again. This time, Nedved was prepared. He turned around and controlled the ball. However, while focusing on Tiger, he ignored the others. Herad rushed over from the side and easily broke the ball down!

Lazio conceded the ball again in the midfield - this time it was worse than last time, and the place where they conceded the ball this time was in the half of our team!

After intercepting the ball, Gerard began to drive the ball forward by himself. Other Valencia players ran around to echo. Tiger quickly ran to the front of the penalty area and took the ball. His move attracted the attention of some Lazio players. However, Gerard did not pass the ball, but resolutely took a long shot from a place 30 meters away from the goal!

Nedved slowed down from the press behind him, and when his feet reached over, the ball had already flew out!

The ball flew into the small penalty area with a roar. Barotta's response to the save of the ball was slower. When he jumped up, the ball had already flew past his hand and then hit the net!

With only one minute left before the last goal, Hrad expanded his lead with a wonderful world wave!

"Oh! Valencia is simply crazy! Their quick attack is completely different from Valencia before! It's incredible! Lazio is now completely led by Valencia. Lazio, who is now behind two goals, is facing a big dilemma. If there is no obvious improvement in the future, then Lazio may have a shameful day..."

The commentator was right. If the first goal was just a shock to Lazio, then the next goal would completely stunned Lazio's players. Valencia's storm-like offense almost stunned them. Since last season, they have lost the ball, but they rarely scored consecutive goals by the opponent like this!

Eriksen could no longer remain calm. Amid the cheers of Valencia fans throughout the game, the usually gentle Swedes roared: "Concentrate! How many times do you want me to say it! The midfielder lost the goal, twice in a row! Are you still professional players?"

Eriksen made a rare fire on the sidelines, but his actions were disastrous. Lazio's players were confused by the continuous throws, not to mention that he yelled like this twice, making it even more difficult to maintain a calm mind.

Nedved's current psychological quality is far from being excellent in the future, not to mention that the second goal was lost because of his possession, which made him feel a little worried about his next performance. However, he was suppressed by Herad and Farinos, and it was difficult to find a suitable pass route.

The disadvantage of not having a good rest before erupted at this time. Even if Lazio's players wanted to cheer up, they still felt powerless.

After the re-telection, Valencia continued to press frantically in the midfield. This is their home court. Even if the moves are bigger, the referee will not make a penalty easily. What's more, Lazio's players are not in good shape at this time...

Tiger ran back and forth in the midfield, and he felt the rhythm of the game that he felt very wonderful - although he ran a lot, it was very easy. When he was holding the ball under his feet, he could find the ball point by looking up. The teammates' running was also extremely smooth, and the passing and cutting coordination was smooth, cutting the opponent's midfield to pieces.

All the commentators who thought Lazio would perform better in the next game were stunned. The reason was very simple. Although Valencia was leading two goals, their advantage did not seem to be very big on the scene before. However, after leading two goals, they were firmly controlled by Valencia and launched wave after wave of attacks!

"Mendeta took the ball from the right... He did not dribble the ball, but passed the ball across to Tiger. Tiger passed back to Mindeeta made a cross. Lopez at the back point inserted and then shot directly! Ah, he was a little off and hit the side net!"

"Farinos received a back pass from Tiger... a pick pass, beautiful! The ball fell accurately in front of Kili, and Kili dribbled the ball horizontally... a long shot! Barotta saved the ball! Barotta performed well during this period..."

"Oh, wonderful! A continuous two-way and one-on-one cooperation! Tiger shook off Simeone's defense. Will he continue to break through or pass the ball? Slope! Slope! Barotta finally pushed the ball out of the crossbar! Just a little bit away, Tiger can score twice. Now he is only one goal away from the first place in the Champions League scorer list!"

Lazio held on to a very embarrassing position, but they were Serie A team after all. They could survive in this situation when the situation was very tense - they were beaten very embarrassingly but they would not lose the ball. They were very hard to defend, and the scene was ugly, but they were always able to support them.

Erikson has no longer got angry. Even if he wants to adjust, he has no way to adjust. If he can only fall behind one ball or even score one point in the first half, he still needs to adjust during the break. What he needs to do now is to see if the players on the court can continue to support it.

Two minutes later, Erikson jumped up like a rabbit from the coach's seat, then spread his arms and cheered loudly!

His players did it! With a hard support, Lazio made a classic defensive counterattack. The retreating Peron received Mihaipiao Astronomy, one to two, Lazio scored a point!

From zero to two to one to two, Lazio's situation suddenly seemed to have become more favorable!

"Continue to attack!" Cooper's expression was as unchanged as an ancient well, but he made a firm gesture of pressing!

"Download the defense and support until the end of the first half!" Eriksen made a tactical adjustment with a sneer. It seems that this Argentinian really doesn't know what his surname is. After the halftime break, you will be nice!

What he didn't know was that at this time, Cooper no longer cared about any adjustments in the half-time break. There were still fifteen minutes left before the end of the first half. All Cooper had to do was to beat Lazio to death in the first half and not give Erikson a chance to adjust in the midfield!

And Cooper had long told Valencia's players!

Just when Valencia's fans were a little worried about the next game, Valencia's players launched an extremely firm attack!

Perhaps the fluency is not as good as the attack just now, but Valencia's attack is more resolute and fierce now!

After getting the ball at the front of the penalty area, they no longer pass back and forth or look for opportunities through long shots, but instead resolutely breaking into the penalty area. Even if they cannot succeed, they must disrupt Lazio's defense!

Such an offensive success rate is not high. However, after Valencia concedes the ball, the crazy pressing in the frontcourt forced Lazio's defenders to drive the ball with big feet. However, they did not have any high point in the frontcourt. Although Inzagji is stronger than his brother's heading ability and impact, he is not the kind of strong high center forward. This is the second mistake Eriksen made in this game. If you want to defend away, the strong Croatian forward Boksic is obviously more suitable for starting than Inzagji, because he can at least become a fulcrum in the frontcourt to delay the opponent's attack!

Mikhainovic's big foot cleared the ball and was rushed to the near-center circle by Pellegrino. After receiving the ball, Farinos did not stop the ball. He beautifully knocked the ball to Gondieta on the right with his outer instep. Gondieta dribbled the ball into the middle. After attracting Simeone's attention, he raised his foot and passed the ball to Tiger in the middle!

Tiger and Almeida rushed to the ball at the same time, and Almeida wanted to directly knock down the guy who cut off his pass. As an Argentine, he instinctively hated the British, even if Tiger was not a pure British...

However, when he stretched out his feet, Tiger stretched out his feet under the ball in advance, picked the ball beautifully over Almeida's head, then quickly turned around and rushed over Almeida.

The huge screams of Valencia fans sounded in the stands. The head coaches, including Aragones and Ranieri, all emphasized will, strength and defense. While making Valencia a iron-blooded army, Valencia reduced the viewing ability. Although there were many South Americans in the team, they were all more simple South Americans. Although Valencia fans knew that they were not supporting Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and there was no reason to demand that they could achieve results and play well, but they still had some regrets in their hearts. However, Tiger's appearance made up for this regret - this British man has skills that are not inferior to South American players and knows how to please fans!

Mikhainovic saved up. His free kick was excellent, but in fact, the central defender was not as good as his free kick, at least not as top-notch. Although he judged that Tiger's picking out the ball was a bit out of Tiger's control after he passed the ball, he didn't know that this was actually a game that Tiger gave him!

Just as Mikhainovic was about to clear the ball, Tiger's foot touched the ball one second faster than him. Another skillful and almost gorgeous pick-up shot. After picking the ball over Mikhainovic's head, Tiger lowered his body and rushed over from the Yugoslavs!

Mikhainovic is already thirty-one years old. Even when he was young, he was not good at reacting and speed. What's more, Tiger's turn and sprinting was extremely fast!

"Oh! Oh my God, what did we see! We picked the ball twice in a row, and got rid of two Serie A stars, Almeida and Mikhainovic! So wonderful! Tiger Lee! Will he accomplish an extremely great goal!"

After two consecutive days, Tiger broke into Lazio's penalty area. Lazio's other central defender San Sini was restrained by Lopez and had no time to come. Although Balotta had abandoned the goal and attacked, Valencia's fans were extremely convinced that Tiger would definitely score the ball!

However, Tiger did not shoot. After seeing Barotta who was attacking, he didn't even look at the goal. Instead, he swung his right foot while running, and then gently pushed the side of the ball...

The ball rolled to the other side of the penalty area. Kili rushed up from the back point at this time, facing Tiger's pass and facing a huge empty goal, all he had to do was push the ball gently...

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Kili - Gonzalez! Three to one! Valencia has expanded the score again! However, most of the credit for this ball is counted on Tiger. His consecutive picks before the goal are shocking! Although this season has not ended, and although this year's World Football selection will not appear until the end of the year, I am sure that Tiger, who was only on the 50th list of World Football, will move his ranking this time a big step forward! As long as he can continue to maintain his current state, he may even impact the highest honor of this player!"

"If Tiger's previous pass would create a wonderful goal, then this pass undoubtedly sublimates the goal! Not to mention the more reliable goal method, let's take a look. Before Tiger passes the ball, he must have never seen Kili plugged in from that place! However, he passed the ball, and passed so firmly! What a keen awareness! He was like his face also had eyes!"

"I know that Britain occasionally produces some 'continental players' with excellent skills, but this Tiger is simply outrageous. He has surpassed the category of mainland players and is simply a pure South American player! Such eclectic and such a stroke of masterpiece! A player who has the gorgeous skills of South American players but also has the discipline and quality of European players... England is about to develop now. As long as they find a suitable position for Tiger, plus outstanding young players such as Beckham Irving, they even have the opportunity to create an era! Even if they just stumble to enter the finals of the European Championship..."

Countless commentators praised Tiger's outstanding performance in various languages. The Champions League is indeed an unparalleled stage. Even though Tiger and Valencia's performance in La Liga is not top-notch, after a series of unexpected performances in the Champions League, Tiger and Valencia have left a deep mark in the minds of fans around the world!

Even though he scored 18 goals in the Premier League last season, Tiger was not enough to impress Valencia to buy him out of the most expensive transfer fee in club history. However, his outstanding performance in the Champions League was the heaviest weight that impressed Valencia. In fact, if other giants had their own goals, Valencia would not be the only one who was really interested in Tiger. Now it is estimated that the chairman and managers of countless giants are slapping themselves in the mouth. I regret why he didn't buy him before Tiger showed his dominance!
