Chapter 254: Elegant back waist

"These guys are so calm."

Twenty minutes after the game, Cooper stood up in surprise. During the past period, Real Madrid had no hurry to pass the ball from the outside by Valencia. Once Valencia's attack crossed the 30-meter area, they would immediately launch a tenacious blockade!

When they get possession, they always use long passes or quick breakthroughs on the ground before Valencia's defense line is in place. In short, they have copied Valencia's tactics and used their own way to do it.

Cooper is not surprised that Real Madrid would use this method to deal with his team. After all, he has thought about this possibility and arranged targeted training. What surprised him was that Bosque was able to withstand such a great pressure to make the team play a defensive counterattack. Real Madrid fans are famous for their strictness in the world. They not only demand the team to win, but also require the team to play well. The last time they helped Real Madrid win the league championship was Italian Capello, who led the team to beat Barcelona, ​​which had Ronaldo in the 96-97 season to win the league championship. However, after the season ended, he was immediately fired by Real Madrid. The reason was that too many 1-0 made the fans feel bored...

In fact, at this time, many Real Madrid fans booed in the stands. The boo was not aimed at Valencia, but rather at Real Madrid. They were quite dissatisfied with Real Madrid's quick counterattack style of shrinking defense!

Bosque sat in the coach's seat with a deep face. Although the booing in the stands was not loud, he had heard it. However, he didn't care, because he knew that as long as Real Madrid wins at the end of the game, Real Madrid fans would cheer as well!

He is a pure Real Madrid man. Although he did not debut in Real Madrid, he joined Real Madrid at the age of 23 and retired from Real Madrid. He then served as head coach for Real Madrid youth team since 1984. He served as head coach of Real Madrid twice as a firefighter. After the season ended, he returned to the position of youth team coach again. This time it was his third time to put out the fire in the middle.

What Boske wants is the championship. He doesn't care whether the contract will be terminated in that year after the end of the season. What he wants is just to win the eighth Champions League trophy for Real Madrid.

There is no tactic that is more suitable for Valencia than a defensive counterattack. What are Valencia's characteristics? The counterattack is very fast and has excellent performance against the offense. However, the lack of offensive ability and the overall speed of the defense line is slow. For such a team, pressing the offense is basically like seeking death, and fighting against them is not a good choice - Lazio died on the offense, and Barcelona was pierced through the defense line again and again by Valencia's fierce counterattack. If you don't want to repeat the mistakes of these two teams who were once defeated by Valencia, then Bosque needs to firmly implement the tactics of defensive counterattack to the end!

What's more, compared with Real Madrid, Valencia is still young despite her average age - they lack experience in such competitions, which means they can easily become unhappy. The only players in the team who have experience in participating in the Champions League finals are Tiger and Anganoma, and what about Real Madrid? Yero, Robert Carlos, Redondo, Raul, and Carlanca - five!

Boske knew that Real Madrid may not be able to gain the upper hand in physical fitness and condition. Real Madrid may be able to gain some advantages on average in terms of player personal abilities, but the opponent has an almost unstoppable Tiger. If you want to take advantage of your own advantages, you can only use your experience and mentality - this point, Boske will never waver!

The Real Madrid players on the court also heard booing from the stands. Redondo looked up at the stage thoughtfully, then turned to his partner around and said, "Ivan, I'll entangle the Englishman, and I'll leave the defense in the middle to you."

Hearing Redondo say this, Elgra was obviously stunned: "Fernando, the coach requires us to firmly implement the defensive counterattack tactics..."

"Oh, there is no conflict. The Englishman is organizing. Their position attack seems very smooth and there are fewer mistakes. If I can interfere with his organization, their mistakes will increase, and then we will have more opportunities to counterattack... Remember, if I have the chance to get the ball after intercepting the ball in the backcourt, give it to me. If not, give it to Gonzalez and Steve, let them both fight back. Don't pass it for a long time. Their air defense capabilities in the backcourt are not bad."

Elgra nodded, and he understood what Redondo meant.

After Tiger retreated and got the ball, Redondo could only be passively beaten when he was defending behind. If he took the initiative, he could disrupt Valencia's dispatched offense and increase the chance of counterattack. Moreover, only Redondo went up alone, which did not have much impact on defense. After all, he was also dealing with Tiger.

So the next moment when Tiger was receiving the ball from the back, Redondo's long flowing hair appeared in front of him.

"Have Real Madrid started a counterattack?"

Such an idea flashed through Tiger's mind, but Redondo did not give him any chance to think. He quickly approached Tiger and then decisively tackled!

Like the tackle just now, Redondo's grasp of the timing was extremely accurate, and he almost didn't give Tiger a chance to react - his steal was not very powerful, but in terms of accuracy, it was Tiger's first encounter - it was comparable to those opponents in the main god space who never made mistakes!

In this case, Tiger had no chance to complete the breakthrough, so he could only barely turn around and pass the ball across, wanting to pass it to Mendieta, but Raul came out from the middle and intercepted the ball successfully!

Tiger concedes the goal in the midfield!

Conceding goals in the midfield is a very serious matter, and the consequences of conceiving goals in the core midfielder like Tiger, who almost never concedes the ball, are often even more serious - because teammates will not think of this and will react more slowly than usual!

After intercepting the ball, Raul immediately dribbled into Valencia's half, and then passed it straight to Anelka in front!

Fortunately, because he was always on guard against Real Madrid's rapid counterattack, Valencia's defense kept enough vigilance and attention to give them time to react. Jukic pulled back while blocking Anelka's route, while Pellegrino followed Morientes.

Valencia did not expect Tiger to concede the ball in the midfield, and Real Madrid players did not expect it, so there were only two forwards involved in the attack. Jukic, who was experienced, knew that his speed was definitely not as good as Anelka, so he did not pounce on it and wanted to intercept the ball, but stuck Anelka's route. Anelka lost the opportunity to break through him at the first time, and could only force the breakthrough and then take a shot. The shot with a small angle was beautifully pressed on Canisales.

"Oh, it's a pity for Real Madrid to counterattack this time! Anelka can actually be more secure, or wait for his teammates to come up to pick him up and cooperate... But what happened before is very interesting. I have watched many games in Valencia this season. I remember that Tiger's pass mistake in the midfield has not happened yet..."

Seeing Kanisares snatching the ball from a distance, Tiger breathed a sigh of relief. Being the core and being glorious, but being the core is also very tiring. If the team is behind due to his mistakes in such an important game, with Tiger's personality, he would not forgive himself at all.

OK, Redondo, it seems that you want to come up and interfere with me... Then let's compete with you, don't rely on your teammates to help you like before!

"Do you want to come up and disturb me? That's right, so that there will always be annoying guys to help you." Tiger raised his chin and looked at Redondo, saying with a hint of pride.

He did this on purpose. Maybe Redondo would be angry because of his arrogant attitude. Maybe not, but who knows? Try it, there is no loss anyway...

Redondo smiled slightly. He was not handsome, even a little weird, but when he smiled, he looked so elegant.

"You can give it a try." Redondo replied in a simple manner.

*********************************************************

Kelly looked at the stadium with a little worry. When Tiger's pass was cut off just now, her heart was almost tightened. It was not until Real Madrid's offense did not score a goal. Then she saw Tiger in the telescope as if she was saying something to Redondo. At this time, she was completely relieved because she knew that at least Tiger did not have an imbalance in her mentality because of such a mistake on the surface...

In the stands opposite Kelly, Penelope was cheering loudly with great excitement. To some extent, she proved that she was right. As soon as Redondo came up, Tiger made a mistake in passing! This shows that what she said before, "You can win if you are not on the court" is correct!

"Hehe, wait to run outside the stadium in Real Madrid jerseys! If you want to be fooled, I will put this bet on the media!" Penelope thought proudly.

Tiger naturally didn't know that there were two women in the stands who had completely different moods because of his performance. He had only one goal now, that is, to break through Redondo, create opportunities for Valencia, and wash away the mark of failure for himself!

Next, he began to feel a completely different defensive style from the top midfielders he had encountered before.

Keane, Vieira, Davis, Jerry Mess, Simeone, Koku...The characteristics of these top midfielders are different, but one thing is the same, that is, large-scale running, fierce physical confrontation ability and desperate flying pressing - this has almost become the symbol of top midfielders. Without these characteristics, it is absolutely impossible to complete the task of sweeping the front of the penalty area and protecting the team's midfield. However, Redondo is completely different from them. There is no fast sprint, no fierce pressing and collision, nor is there no exaggerated ball grabbing action... There is only elegance, only keenness, only accurate and extremely outstanding judgment vision.

Tiger's Cruyff turned around and hit a wall in front of Redondo. When he made a breakthrough action, Redondo did not transfer the center of gravity to block the first time. Instead, he took a step just right when Tiger's fake action turned into a real action, and just stabbed the ball that Tiger was moving forward. Tiger turned around and controlled the ball again. The moment Redondo was pressing onto the opponent, Marseille was turning around and intending to shake the opponent away, but suddenly hit Redondo who was blocking his route in front. While falling to the ground, Redondo poked the ball out with one kick.

Real Madrid launched a counterattack again. Raul forced his way down the side and made a cross. Anelka headed the ball and headed straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Canisales made a wonderful save and blocked the ball with one hand.

"Long pass, counterattack!" Tiger's eyes lit up and he shouted at Caboni who was holding the ball. At this time, Real Madrid's defense line was loosened, which was a good opportunity to fight back quickly. It could speed up the pace even if it was not good!

Caboni immediately rolled the ball to Tiger. Tiger retreated to get the ball, and Redondo followed closely behind him - he was not afraid of the gap behind him, and Elgra helped him fill the position.

Tiger stretched his feet to stop the ball - but he did a weird stop position, using his toes instead of the inside of his feet - he poked the ball up in one go, then pulled the ball to the back side and turned halfway!

His move is not about being outspoken, but passing the ball!

The moment he lifted the ball up, Tiger completed the pass, and his right foot hit the ball straight, kicking the ball directly to the left, where Lopez inserted!

Lopez accurately removed the ball during his running. Salgado kept interfering with him from the side. Lopez did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to Gendeta at the front of the penalty area. Gendeta stopped the ball and raised his foot and shot. Casillas moved quickly, closing his jaw and hugged the ball tightly in his arms.

Valencia's counterattack was as fast as lightning. It was not until Casillas hugged the ball that a large number of breathing sounds sounded in the stands.

"The cooperation of the three musketeers in the frontcourt is indeed unpredictable..." A commentator sighed. Tiger changed positions and retreated to organize the dispatch. Lopez helped out after assisting. The inserted Mundeta completed the shot in the middle - the three players' positions on the court were almost completely reversed, but they played more flexible and versatile. This flexible and changeable offensive tactic is the foundation of Valencia's foothold this season. Whether in the Champions League or the league, the goals of the three of them accounted for more than two-thirds of Valencia's goals!

"Why, don't you want to break through me?" Redondo seemed to be unmoved by this attack against Real Madrid, but said with a smile.

"It's still a long time, I'm a very patient player." Tiger replied calmly: "The offense is not just about breaking through, nor is it just about breaking through."

Redondo smiled and looked at Tiger without saying anything.

"Back to defend!" Cooper shouted off the court. Valencia's fast attack finally started to fight once. Next, he can drag Real Madrid into the quagmire of positional battles!

Casillas quickly threw the goal, but Valencia did not press in the frontcourt, but began to recover significantly, trying to re-introduce the rhythm into his own control.

Tiger turned around and stared at Redondo. Although all three Real Madrid's midfielders could organize the offense, Redondo was still the most important part of the attack.

The two top midfielders in the Premier League, Keane and Vieira, are mainly defense-oriented, while on the contrary, the two most famous midfielders in La Liga, Redondo and Guardiola are better at organizing offenses. Guardiola is Barcelona's brain, while Redondo is the soul of Real Madrid!

From the different styles of the four most famous midfielders, we can see that the differences in the styles between the Premier League and La Liga.

After Redondo received the ball, he quickly divided the ball to the left side. Carlos, who assisted forward, made a breakthrough like a Fengchi electric motor. Anganoma was not fast, but he stuck the opponent's inward cut. Carlos made a powerful cross and was destroyed by Jukic in front of Raul. Farinos received the ball and passed it straight to Tiger, but was also destroyed by Redondo's defense.

The game has been played so far, but the outstanding performance of both sides in defense has not yet been able to score a goal.

Although Tiger was entangled, he also restrained Redondo's attack. The offensive cores of both sides were restrained at the same time, which was also a wonder.

"Thirty minutes." Cooper looked at his watch and thought to himself.

Morientes, who was pulling the edge, created an opportunity for McManaman. The British shot in the penalty area. Canisales saved the ball with a beautiful side save. Kili, who was retreating, took the ball from the side. Seeing that Lopez was asking for the ball, he immediately raised his foot and passed it over.

Lopez received the ball near the sideline. At the same time, Tiger accelerated violently and ran sideways away Redondo - he had some advantages in speed, but if he rushed forward, he would likely be cut off by Redondo's passing route. Run sideways, and he would have a greater chance of receiving the ball.

Lopez immediately passed the ball, Tiger turned around and faced Redondo.

More than half of the first half had passed, and Tiger no longer wanted to continue to get entangled with Redondo.

It is very interesting to fight against you, but after we are ahead, I have time to play with you!

While Redondo had not blocked his way forward, Tiger drove the ball forward and wanted to break through with speed!

Redondo can play the title of "the most elegant" in the midfield, so he will naturally not be bullied by the opponent with speed. On the court, there are many ways to weaken the opponent's speed advantage. Speed ​​is never the most important part on the court.

Redondo pressed it on the side. Although he is a low midfielder who is famous for his elegance, his height has reached 1.86 meters. The physical advantage brought by this height is quite large.

Tiger withstood Redondo's squeeze without fear. Although this squeeze made Tiger not very adaptable, if it was a collision, he would have some way to relieve the force, but this squeeze made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Redondo is creating opportunities to create opportunities that will make Tiger gradually lose control of the ball. When his control of the ball is weakest, it is when Redondo stretches out his foot to intercept the ball.

At this moment, Tiger moved.
Chapter completed!
