"Okay, Tristan gets the ball."

"Marchener is defending behind him. My God, he is so fierce that he actually withstood Tristan."

"But the ball is still at Tristan's feet and wants to pass it to Victor on the right."

"Victor quickly plugged in..."

"Beautiful, Carvalho's key slide shovel was used to tackle the ball."

"Yankulovsky received the ball and directly cleared the ball with a big foot."

"La Coruna's offense was declared a failure, but this time it sounded a wake-up call for Atletico Madrid."

"Machina and Carvalho's performance is indeed quite good, one fierce and one steady, the cooperation is getting more and more tacit and skillful, but Sedo Keita, who was introduced during the winter break, is a big hidden danger in this game."

"We can see that he is still very disagreeable with the team."

"Okay, the ball fell to La Coruna's feet again..."

…………

…………

Although an attack failed to work, it ignited the passion of 30,000 fans in the stands of Riasso Stadium.

The atmosphere in the stadium became significantly stronger, and La Coruna seemed to be stimulated, and the pace gradually accelerated.

But Gao Han stood on the sidelines, shook his head and laughed.

"Carlos, do you believe it? As long as our defense does not make mistakes, La Coruna can't even score a goal."

Not only was Cantalero not surprised, he nodded, but actually agreed with Gao Han's judgment.

Before the game, Gao Han had successfully convinced the coaching staff that he arranged for Sedo Keita to start.

As for the fact that the Mali midfielder is just a newcomer and is not in line with the team, and has become the weak spot for the opponent's offense, this has long been expected by Gao Han and the coaching staff, and even made special arrangements in this regard.

"Real Mallorca's four-to-one victory over La Coruna gave me two reminders."

Cantalero smiled slightly, "Which two?"

"One is the key star who seems to be very strong but lacks a final decision. Tristan is excellent, but that's it. Looking at the entire midfield and frontcourt of La Coruna, it is more delicate and weak, and the offense is too concentrated in the middle, and the side can only rely on the back of the full-back to attack."

Cantalero nodded again when he heard this.

Gao Han's analysis was a sharp hit and hit the nail on the head of La Coruna.

The so-called key star is the kind of player who has outstanding personal abilities and can change the situation of the game alone.

For example, Kaka.

Atletico Madrid has been in a deadlock many times this season, relying on Kaka's personal strong breakthrough to break the deadlock on the court.

On the other hand, La Coruna has the form of Tristan this season and the creative midfielder also has the magical creativity of Berellon, but once the opponent is strictly guarded by the opponent, La Coruna has no way to do anything.

Although La Coruna played four, two and three, but Fran on the left was the front midfielder, and Victor on the right was also not a wing assaulter, which directly led to La Coruna's entire offense being too focused on the middle and both ribs.

The two full-backs have strong offensive power, but the full-backs are always a double-edged sword to attack forward. If they are put into a game, the full-backs are still not as threatening as the full-backs or even the wingers.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the full-backs run up and down frequently, and no one can bear the physical energy consumption.

Therefore, to defend La Coruna, you have to stick to the middle and both ribs.

Once the frontcourt offense is curbed and the opponent seizes the opportunity and counterattacks, La Coruna cannot defend it at all.

The crushing defeat against Real Mallorca is a big example.

The reason why Gao Han is full of confidence is that Atletico Madrid's third midfielder is the nemesis of Coruña.

The reason why he dared to use Sedo Keita boldly in this game is because he has this confidence.

What are you afraid of when you make a mistake in passing?

As long as Sedo Keita can complete the defensive task conscientiously, Gao Han will be very satisfied.

What's more, he arranged an additional task for Sedo Keita during the game.

Cantalero couldn't guess what Gao Han was thinking, but was just curious. He only said one of the two reminders...

"What's your other gain?" Cantalero asked.

Gao Han laughed, "The second reminder to me is that although the La Liga team is now mainstream, the two back midfielders are very happy, but in fact, few teams can catch the defense well."

This is also why La Coruna plays well in La Liga, but is not as good as Valencia in the Champions League.

After all, La Liga defense and Champions League defense are not at the same level.

In the final analysis, La Liga is still focused on attacking and defensiveness.

"You wait, Carlos, the opportunity will come soon."

…………

…………

Sedo Keita was already sweating profusely, and she seemed to have just been fished out of the water.

But there was no fatigue in his eyes.

He was like a hungry cheetah on an African grassland, looking for prey to satisfy his hunger.

He is twenty-two years old.

The Keita family is a well-known family in West Africa. It has many talents and is spread all over the political and business circles. The founding father of Mali, Modibo Keita, came from this surname.

The talented Kaita family also has many outstanding football players.

Sedo Keita's uncle Sarif Keita became famous in Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1. Later, he went to teams such as Marseille, Valencia and Sporting Lisbon. He once won the title of African Footballer and was the only player in Mali to have won the title of African Footballer.

After retiring, Sarif Keita founded the famous football youth training center in Mali. Keita and Mohamed Diyala were the first trainees in this center. They were also attracted by the Ligue 1 team here and then landed in France.

Influenced by his uncle since childhood, Sedo Keita firmly insisted on the path of professional football and firmly believed that playing football can change the poverty situation of himself and his family.

He has never disappointed anyone since he was a child. Even in the World Youth Championship in 1999, although he failed to help the Mali National Youth Team win the championship, he defeated Ronaldinho, Xavi and other stars with his outstanding personal performance and won the title of Best Player in the Tournament.

That was the first time in his life that he had tasted success.

However, the outstanding performance of the World Youth Championship failed to change his embarrassing situation in Marseille.

Later, he followed the suggestion of his uncle and his agent, left Marseille and switched to the French League Two Lorient, hoping to get more training in the game and improve his own level.

That season, he became one of the main contributors to Lorient's promotion to Ligue 1.

But after the team entered Ligue 1, Lorient introduced several midfielders, and Keita's situation became embarrassing again, especially in a crushing defeat in the new season, Keita's several mistakes were constantly magnified after the game, and the head coach directly took his main position.

After that, he could only play as a substitute occasionally, and it was difficult to get another chance.

In fact, even now, Lorient is not in an ideal situation.

That is, when Sedo Keita was almost desperate to guard the bench, Atletico Madrid suddenly extended an olive branch.

One million euros, the bed sheet army bought him for La Liga.

Also a newly promoted team, Lorient ranked last in Ligue 1, but Atletico Madrid won consecutive games in La Liga and won wildly.

Sedo Keita completely wondered why Atletico Madrid, who has so many stars in the team, chose him?

But he couldn't give up such an opportunity, because head coach Gao Han called him personally and promised to give him more opportunities to play. Now, just one week after he officially joined the team, he got a chance to start.

The opponent is La Liga giant La Coruna.

The game is the first away game in the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup del Rey.

Whether it is the opponent or the competition, they are very valuable. They are something that Sedo Keita dared not imagine in Marseille or Lorient before.

What he couldn't imagine was that the head coach in Atletico Madrid, who was only two years older than him and was unreasonably young, said something to him a few days ago.

"I've seen your performance in Marseille and Lorient, especially in the World Youth Championship and the French Ligue 2 season. They played very well. If the head coaches of Marseille and Lorient don't use you well, they won't use you."

At first, Sedo Keita didn't believe it, and he felt that the young head coach was talking nonsense and talking big.

But after several days of team training, especially under the arrangement of the head coach, after he practiced with two teammates, he gradually realized that this young coach is indeed completely different from all the head coaches he had met before.

Today, he stood on the field of Riyaso, and he was doing his best and conscientiously implementing the head coach's pre-match tactical arrangements, while also looking forward to the opportunity in his heart.

Finally, the opportunity has come!

Marcos Senna seemed to be interested in competing with Brazilian compatriot Mauro Silva in this game. After intercepting the ball to Belleron from the midfield again, he passed the ball to Kaka.

Kaka immediately accelerated after receiving the ball and launched a counterattack.

After conceding the ball, La Coruña quickly changed from offense to defense, especially the double midfielder, who retreated immediately.

But Brazil's midfielder immediately passed the ball to the left and handed it to Villa, and he rushed forward quickly.

Kaka and Torres rushed forward and pulled away the home team's defensive players' attention.

During the quick counterattack, Villa received Kaka's pass and did not choose to dribble the ball himself, but passed the ball back to the middle, and turned around and rushed to the left side of the penalty area.

The ball was very slow and stopped in a no-man's area.

On the court, including many Atletico Madrid players, were puzzled at this moment.

A pass mistake?

But the next moment, they saw a fit figure wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey and rushed up from behind quickly. The ball just landed on the line of his sprint. Regardless of all, they caught up with the ball, swung their left foot, and shot it directly.

I heard a muffled bang, and the ball was heading straight to the goal like a bored shell.

It was not until this moment that a burst of exclamations broke out at the Riaso Stadium.
Chapter completed!
