Chapter 505 King's Cup Final ([-])

Another point of attention in this game is the referee.In view of the problems in the last match between Valencia and Real Madrid, the Spanish Football Association once thought about using referees from other countries, but considering their own face, they chose Spanish referee Manuel Gonzalez. The main referee is a new referee star that has emerged in Spain recently, and the Spanish Football Association cannot make fun of this kind of promising referee.

However, Fan Shang felt that it was better for him to be cautious. Before going on the court, he still reminded the players to try the referee's standards first, and not to be blind.

The game started with Gonzalez's whistle, and Valencia stepped up spontaneously, but because of Vincent's instructions, he did not dare to move too much, and was going to try the referee's reaction first.

The starting lineups of the two teams today are similar to before. Real Madrid is still 442, but the positions have changed. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, four defenders, Salgado, Hierro, Pavon and Roberto Carlos, Four midfielders, Makelele, Herguera, Figo and Zidane, two forwards, Raul and Morientes.

Bosque put on a double defensive midfielder today, which was rarely seen in previous games, in order to deal with Valencia's offensive group, and today Real Madrid's offensive number is slightly thin, but their personal strength is all this The top of the planet.

Valencia still uses the 361 formation, goalkeeper Canizares, three defenders, Ayala, Lucio and Djukic, six midfielders, Albelda, Baraja, Angulo, Mendie Tower, Aimar and Belleron, striker Toni.

Fan Shang hasn't changed at all, there is nothing to change, these people are the strongest in Valencia now, and they cooperate very well now, there is no need to change.

The referee Gonzalez blew the whistle very strictly today, and he fouled some dispensable body collisions, so in the opening 10 minutes, both sides suffered several fouls.

After these 10 minutes of probing, the two sides not only found out the referee's scale, but also had a general understanding of how the opponent played today.

Needless to say, Valencia must use the "CUJU" tactic of crossing. Real Madrid's game is a defensive counterattack, which can also be seen from the two defensive midfielders.

That's fine, and the basic tone of the pitch is set, Valencia attacking, Real Madrid defending and waiting for a counterattack.

However, Real Madrid's two forwards, Raul and Morientes, are really not expected to counterattack in Vincent's opinion. One is not fast, and the other is slower. Such a counterattack...

Vincent knew that it was because Bosque was afraid of Valencia's attack. When they played against Real Madrid before, Makelele couldn't take care of it alone. Attacking in the middle can create a threat to Real Madrid's goal and cause a lot of goals. Now with an extra midfielder, it can effectively curb Valencia's cooperation in the middle.

However, Valencia's offense is not limited to the center. The offense from the left, center and right is actually quite balanced. If there is a big chance in the center, the wide players will actively cut in. If the chance is great, the central players will of course go to the center. The wing leaned, and Valencia's offense was varied.

This is the case today. Real Madrid strengthened their defense in the middle, so let's go from the side, but the defensive players in the middle cannot let them move.

So Valeron and Aimar moved to the wing to cooperate with the wide players, while Albelda and Baraja stood where Belleron and Aimar should have been before, making Makelele and Elguera dare not move.

In fact, at the beginning, the two would split one to the side to assist in the defense, but in the 16th minute, after receiving a pass from Albelda, Baraja brushed the post and flew out of the bottom line with a long shot, allowing Real Madrid's The two defensive midfielders realized that although the two defensive midfielders of Valencia are not as delicate as the front midfielders, their long-range shooting skills are enough to make them dare not move in the middle.

In this way, Valencia's two sides flew up, especially the left side. Angulo and Aimar faced Salgado. Salgado is definitely a fierce player, but sometimes it is a kind of fierceness. Shortcomings, today his fierceness has become Real Madrid's biggest loophole.

In the 18th minute, Angulo made a breakthrough with the ball and Salgado followed up. Salgado saw an opportunity halfway and made a tackle without hesitation, but Angulo saw Salgado's action from the corner of his eye. Before Salgado could touch the ball, Angulo passed it to Aimar who was pulled wide.

Salgado didn't succeed in one blow, but his reaction was quite fast. He got up and rushed towards Aimar. After being tackled, he dodged Salgado who rushed up from behind with a dodge, and passed the ball back to Angulo.

At this time, Angulo was already unguarded, and he easily brought the ball in. At this time, Pavon, another giant of Real Madrid besides Zidane, came up to defend and faced Zidane. Angulo, the famous superstar Pavin, rushed towards Pavin without any hesitation.

Angulo moved the ball forward with his right foot, and when the ball was not out of control, he suddenly turned his toes, knocked back the ball that was originally going to the right, and gave it to his left foot, and then moved the ball forward with his left foot Out, Angulo slid past Pavon's left side.Having said so much, in Fan Shang's view, this is a oxtail with a terrific tail, and then he added a left foot to kick the ball.

But the effect was surprisingly good. Pavon probably didn't expect Angulo to dare to play such tricks in the penalty area. Now this hot young player who was fired recently was completely humiliated at the Bernabeu.

Angulo's magical touch gave him a chance to face Casillas one-on-one. Pavon is a baby, but Casillas is not the same young. Seeing Pavon being passed over like a telegraph pole , Casillas abandoned the goal at the first time and attacked, and the goal behind him was handed over to the old captain Hierro.

Seeing Casillas' aura, Angulo frowned, "This guy should be planning to attack directly." Then Angulo made his own judgment, but the corners of his mouth curled up, and he spoke with Casillas. Silas looked directly at each other, but did not stop, and pushed the ball to the goal with his left foot.

Tony was unguarded after Hierro stood back in the goal. Although Angulo stared at Casillas, the ball was passed to Tony.
