Chapter 440 Don't attack

? Although Valencia was reluctant, on the court, the referee was the most majestic, and they could only reluctantly accept the result.

Benitez also showed some anger on the sidelines just now. Although he saw clearly that Sneijder's goal was not offside, he still had to put pressure on the entire refereeing team in his own way. This is universal. Little trick.

However, after the restart of the game, Benitez did not let the team strengthen the attack. He has a very deep research on Notts County. Usually the first goal of Notts County can open their goal account and use the goal. If the opponent is eager to attack and equalize the score at this time, they will definitely be beaten by Notts County, and the goals will come one after another.

Therefore, his instructions to the players are still to stabilize the defense and pay more attention to the defensive intensity of the midfield. As long as the momentum of Notts County is eliminated, the counterattack can be considered.

However, Benitez was still very uneasy at this time. He was not worried about losing the ball. What he was worried about was that Baraja received a yellow card because of his lack of calm.

For a long time, Valencia has two bombs from time to time, which can explode at any time. One is the central defender Marchena. This is a hammer. Although his defensive ability is excellent, he is always reckless. He can cause some trouble on the back line at any time, and the other is the defensive core, Baraja. This reckless guy is a powder keg, he will blow up at one point, just like just now, he took the initiative to apply for a yellow card when he had nothing to do with him. , isn't this enough to eat!

How long has it been since the game started? I'm afraid Baraja's defensive ability is generally not available. Now the best way is to let Albelda share most of the defensive pressure, while Baraja focuses on offense. The influence of Baraja's yellow card may be reduced to a minimum.

Sure enough, not as he expected, Notts County's offensive became more violent after the goal, and the wind and rain were like a storm. Even though Valencia's defensive ability is the best in Europe, it still feels like the windbreaker in front of the goal is swaying. , as if it could be destroyed at any time.

Tenaciously repelling the onslaught of Notts County, the Valencia players felt that their physical strength was exhausted by the effort for a while, and the huge mental pressure was definitely something they could not feel at ordinary times.

At this time, they are also fortunate. Fortunately, Benitez emphasized the defense at this stage, otherwise they would go out stupidly. At this time, the goal would be poked into a few holes.

In the next time, the two teams began to compete for the midfield again, and Notts County obviously retreated a short distance between the two lines. They were already ahead as if the spring was charging. Once Warren The more energy West has put into their offense, the easier it will be for them to catch holes in the Bats' defense.

In fact, Benitez's strategic arrangement for this game is to use the team's most proud defense to strangle Notts County's offense.

He is confident that he can kill Notts County's attack, and once the game is dragged into a penalty shootout, Valencia will have a chance to win.

In fact, he knows very well that Notts County's defense is no worse than Valencia's, and the attack is much stronger. The only way they can win is in the penalty shootout.

But what he never expected was that the team was just a tentative attack, and the old Notts County seized the loophole and scored a goal. That is to say, this game Valencia is already strategically. lost meaning.

Even if Valencia attacked aggressively to tie the score or even overtake the score, not to mention whether it could score a goal, after all Notts County's defense is not a vegetarian, and Valencia's own defense line will inevitably have gaps and loopholes. Wouldn't that give Notts County more opportunities?

This in itself is a very contradictory thing!

But now it's too late to say anything. They are the ones behind the score. There is no essential difference between losing one and losing a few. If you want to win, the only way to go is to attack.

Seeing that the game entered a state of anxiety, Benitez began to line up to create an offensive.

Loew is very willing to see this. It is not in the interests of Notts County for the two sides to fight recklessly in the midfield. Now Notts County leads the score. Any other way is more efficient than a deadly midfield fight. .

The Bat Legion's offensive situation changed, and Notts County immediately changed. The three fronts retreated a little again, which could not only control the space more effectively, but also leave enough space for fast breaks. like the way too.

Because the team's most creative attacking midfielder, Aimar, did not play, Valencia's offense was huge, but the offense that could really reach Notts County's goal was nothing but a cross, and more often it had to rely on Baraja and Albelda's long-range shots threatened Notts County's goal and did little damage in essence.

Once Notts County starts a counterattack after stealing the ball, it can directly make Valencia's defense in a hurry. You must know that Notts County is not a simple counterattack. Their investment in fast breaks can even reach 5-6 players , even if the counterattack fails in the first wave, it is likely to take advantage of the numerical advantage to form a second wave of offensive.

This period of time was the most difficult time for Valencia. The offense was unable to open the situation, and the defense was leaking everywhere. The most important thing was that the score lag made them extremely anxious.

This state continued until the end of the first half. Notts County patiently dealt with Valencia. When everyone thought that the first half would end like this, no one thought that there would be an accident at this time.

The starting left-back Leighton Baines's pass was mysteriously passed to the Valencia player Angulo not far away. The player who replaced Aimar was sleepwalking on the field throughout the first half. He also He didn't expect the ball to suddenly pass to his feet. After a little adjustment, he found that the players from Notts County had already pressed him and hurriedly passed the ball into the penalty area.

The trajectory of the ball is a bit high. No one touched the ball at the front point. Westerman jumped high at the back point, but he did not exert strength under Vicente's small movements. of the ball into the penalty area.

David stood up abruptly from the coaching bench, and he seemed to have a premonition of what was happening behind him.

Wouldn't it be so weird?

Valencia striker Mista received the ball unmarked, and in an instant a single-handed situation was formed. The eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on Mista and Diego Lopez.

Don't attack!

David shouted secretly in his heart. (To be continued.)
