Chapter 477 Free Kick

Barcelona goalkeeper Bonanno saw the ball was slow and did not move, and was ready to wait for the ball to roll in front of the goal so he could control it.

But what he didn't expect was that just a few meters after the ball passed the wall, a guy in a white jersey suddenly appeared and changed the course of the ball with one kick. Bonano didn't have time to react when he heard the referee's whistle. Only then did I know that the person just scored a goal.

The person who shot just now was Mendieta. When the ball started from Belleron, Mendieta also moved on the side. When Belleron touched the ball, Mendieta quickly cut inside and moved forward with the ball Changing the direction of the ball on the line caught Bonano by surprise.

1:0, relying on this exquisite free kick cooperation, Valencia leads Barcelona with an away goal.

No one can blame Barcelona for this ball. Originally, both penalty kicks and free kicks can be awarded. The home court advantage only gave Valencia a free kick.

After seeing the goal, Fan Shang jumped up happily. The main reason is not the goal, but the cooperation before the goal. Fan Shang also let the players work hard on various free kicks.

This ball made Barcelona's head coach, Rexach, unable to sit still. Vincent knew that this Rexach was a transitional head coach of Barcelona. Next year, Barcelona will usher in Rijkaard, the leader of their real revival.

Rexach's on-the-spot commander told Fan Shang that his previous judgment was correct. After scoring the goal, Rexach let Barcelona push forward on the sidelines. The same was true for the two full-backs. Fan Shang couldn't read lips. But after seeing Rexach's gesture, he probably wants to attack with all his strength.

"Come on!" The corner of Fan Shang's mouth twitched, "See whose stamina is stronger!" It's like a boxing match, where both players don't think about defense at all. You punch each other, and it depends on who knocks the other down first. The advantage is that now Valencia has the upper hand.

Barcelona's all-out attack now makes Valencia a little uncomfortable for the time being. Mendieta and Angulo sometimes have to follow up. Although Barcelona has not posed any substantial threat to Valencia's goal for the time being, if Put it off for a while, and problems may arise.

Vincent must now give the players on the field a clear message to let them know what they should do now.Fan Shang stood on the sidelines at this time, grabbed Mendieta who was running on the sidewalk, and then said what he wanted, but he was still worried, and shouted a few times to the inside of the field, and then gestured with the same meaning. Valencia boldly pressed the attack.

But then Valencia did get better, but their offense still focused on counterattacks. Generally, three central defenders tried their best to stop the ball, and then passed the ball to launch a counterattack.

It may be that Barcelona also didn't take advantage of it. Although Valencia counterattacked, they understood that it was not appropriate to keep two people in the back line, so they could only let the two sides retreat.

In the first half, the two teams compromised with each other, but Valencia was still in the lead.

After returning to the locker room, Fan Shang walked in with a gloomy face, picked up something and threw it on the whiteboard behind him, startling the players who had just sat down with a "boom".

"Didn't you see my gesture just now?" Fan Shang said loudly, "Gazka, didn't you tell your teammates what I mean?" Fan Shang pointed to Mendieta and asked again.

Mendieta stood up innocently, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he had already said it.

"Are you sure?" Fan Shang frowned, "You all heard what I conveyed?"

The players all nodded, they really knew what Vincent wanted to convey.

"Okay, then tell me what I want?" Fan Shang asked again.

"Attack" players look at each other and someone slowly says, "Attack!"

"So you know!" Fan Shang patted the whiteboard again, "Then who can tell me how you did it? I said attack! Attack! Do you understand? What you gave me was counterattack! Counterattack!"

"Do you know what an offense is? Call me an offense around Barcelona's goal! Let Barcelona surround our goal. After your offensive players run two steps, it is called a counterattack! If it weren't for these desperate defenses, It is definitely not the score now. Look at this big brother, when will you see him so tired for half a game!" Fan Shang pointed to Jiukic, he was indeed under a lot of pressure in the second half of the first half today, but Relying on his rich experience and holding on to the end of the midfield.

Now the players understood why Fan Shang got angry. After thinking about it, they were right. They were indeed surrounded by others. Several attacks were counterattacks after the back line was destroyed. Even the previous goal was Lucio's sudden forward. Plug created.

"Milo, how long can you last in the second half?" Vincent walked up to veteran Jukic and asked. The 35-year-old veteran really tried his best in the first half.

"I'll take a break, and it should be fine for 15 minutes." Djukic will not be like some young players, yelling that he is fine, he is old and smart, and knows his weight.

Fan Shang nodded, "Take another 10 minutes, and I'll find someone to replace you." Jiukic nodded.

"Can you make this big brother relax in the second half?" Fan Shang patted Jiukic on the shoulder and asked everyone.

Then there is nothing to excuse, you must respond, you can open your mouth and shut your mouth, and you won't make Jukic too tired.

"In the second half, you guys don't care about the defense, just play around Barcelona's goal. If your possession time is lower than Barcelona's in the second half, I'm sorry, there will be some bad things waiting for you, Gaizka, you know Yes, Juan, you should also know." The two nodded, and several offensive players also nodded.

"In the second half, you still have to work hard, especially the two of you. When attacking, press to a position where you can shoot from a long distance, and put some pressure on Barcelona's defense." Vincent specifically asked for two midfielders.

Then Fan Shang arranged a specific attacking route. The first choice is to find the top of Tony's head. After all, Tony's height still has a great advantage compared with Barcelona's two central defenders. The waist cooperates with each other to enter the penalty area, and the third is to create fouls and win some opportunities for set kicks.

"Okay, in the second half, I just want to maintain the point difference and increase the ball possession time, so that I can see that your two legs are not for nothing, and you can control the ball under your own feet." Fan Shang finally said.
