Chapter 301 Crazy Goals

After the score was pulled back to 1-2, the die-hard Valencia fans in the stands of the Mestalla Stadium realized that Benfica, as a Portuguese Super League team, despite the new They didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, but "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse". As a regular team in the UEFA Champions League, they are not soft persimmons.

Even on the scene and in various statistics, Benfica did not take any advantage, but Benfica still has a very tenacious combat power. Once Valencia's defense line is not paying attention, it is very likely that the opponent will score again and equalize the score!

Therefore, the diehard fans of Valencia pointed their fingers at the defense, David Navarro who was marking Diego and Luis Motta who had no time to react in front of the goal.

"David Navarro, pay attention!!!"

"Luis Motta! Be serious! We are going to win the game!"

"The defense is serious! Don't lose the ball again!"

"Valencia will win in the end! Isn't it?!"

……

David Navarro called a helpless.

Is it because I don't pay enough attention?
David Navarro didn't think so - this goal was completely crushed and scored by himself, and his attention was already highly concentrated, but... the physical confrontation is not as good as human beings!

"Hey!"

Luis Motta saw the helplessness on David Navarro's face, he patted David Navarro's arm, and comforted him: "Forget it! Let's do our own job That's it."

"Yes!"

David Navarro looked at the head coach Sanchez Flores on the sidelines, looking forward to whether the "flower coach" would realize that he was no match for Diego, and consider making substitution adjustments and replacing him with someone else. Resist what Diego said.

however……

Sanchez Flores didn't seem to think there was any problem in the backcourt. At this moment, he was pulling Vicente and Alberda in the midfield to emphasize wing defense, completely ignoring Benfica's frontcourt. Diego, this "super nuclear weapon" with terrifying lethality.

Since the head coach is not considering making substitutions and adjustments for the time being, David Navarro can only continue to carry on.

Of course, David Navarro also needs to seek support from the field.

At least, there is Ayala, a member of the national team, and Albiol, the main player of the U23 national team, in front of David Navarro.

"Ayala! Maybe we have to find a way to hold off Benfica's big center together!"

"Albiol, I need more defense from you! After all, your physical resistance will be stronger!"

"You two! I need more help from you!"

……

However, David Navarro is rather desperate.

Both Ayala and Albiol feel that Benfica's offensive lethality on the wing will be stronger, and they both hope to focus their defense on the wing.

In fact, Ayala told David Navarro impatiently: "It's your duty to hold the big center in the middle and hold it back! If you can't, that's your problem! Besides, just now That goal was completely shot through the wing - just think about it, if the wing couldn't pass the ball, would Benfica's big center still have any role in our penalty area? No!"

"Yes!"

Albiol continued to make up the knife: "Benfica's big center couldn't even get the ball in the frontcourt in the first half, and went back to the midfield to grab the ball at David Silva's feet. So! We just need to limit On the wing, Benfica, a big center, has no threat at all."

"But……"

"Okay! Hurry up and get ready! The game will continue!"

"Hey……"

Ok……

David Navarro also has to admit that what Ayala and Albiol said has some truths-if Benfica's young big center is not given a chance to get the ball, then no matter how strong his physical confrontation is, it seems It's useless, huh?
That being the case!Now, David Navarro can only pray that his teammates can stabilize the defense on the wing. Don't let Benfica easily pass the ball into the penalty area and give the big center a header. chance!
In the 52th minute, the game continued!
After the second kick-off in the second half, the mental outlook of Benfica's players changed drastically.

At least!

They found a breakthrough on the offensive end in the "Bat Army" Valencia - the wing!Still on the wing!As long as Leonardo Bastos and Simao can penetrate the wings, the frontcourt combination of Diego and Nuno Gomez can do a lot!

This means that during the halftime break, head coach Fernando Santos’ strategic idea of ​​comparing “who scores more goals” with Valencia in the second half of the game has no problem at all!
After the game continued, Valencia began to play cautiously.

The "iron triangle" of midfielders David Silva, Albelda, and Marchena continued to control the rhythm in the midfield, completely denying Benfica a chance to steal in the middle.

After all, the midfield combination of Pettit and Carter Solanis, facing the "iron triangle" of the "Bat Corps" Valencia's midfielder, they seem somewhat powerless.

Two against three!

Moreover, in terms of personal ability, there is no strength to overwhelm existence. Even David Silva, a vigorous young man, is better than Petit and Carter Solanis in terms of certain talents. The core midfielders of their respective national teams need to be stronger!
Therefore, under continuous pressure, after being played by Valencia's midfielder "Iron Triangle" with pass control, Pettit and Carter Solanis had no choice but to give up and let Valencia The West Asian midfielder went to control the rhythm, and the two of them retreated a little bit, standing in front of the back line, not giving David Silva a through ball to directly find David Villa.

Although Valencia has controlled the initiative in the midfield, after Benfica strengthened its defense in the center and improved its concentration, Valencia's new "commander tower" David Silva has not been able to find a way to get out of it. This is equivalent to dryly brushing the ball possession time in the midfield, and nothing else is gained.

This made David Villa a little anxious.

As a super shooter, lacking the delivery of shells from his teammates in the midfield, no matter how strangely he moves in the frontcourt, it is useless to say.

In desperation, David Villa chose to retreat into the midfield!
This opened the eyes of the Benfica players and saw the different ways of playing the future top scorer in the history of the Spanish national team.

As a super shooter with very comprehensive skills and no shortcomings at all, David Villa's footwork is still enough to play a supporting role for a midfielder after retracing the midfielder. He can also send through balls to assist his teammates in the frontcourt. Under the high pressure of the opponent's two defensive players, he can still protect the ball firmly under his feet.

Sanchez Flores on the sidelines didn't say anything about David Villa's drop-back.

Obviously, David Villa's retracement midfielder's style of play is also considered a very conventional style of play in the "Bat Corps" Valencia.

What was supposed to be Valencia's formation became a 3-6-1 with a very crowded midfield after David Villa dropped back into midfield.

However, the tactical quality of Valencia's players is very high. After David Villa retreated to the middle of the midfield, the midfielder immediately coordinated his position.

In order to make room for David Villa in the retreating midfielder, Vicente and Joaquin at the full-back position advanced into the frontcourt, forming a sideline echo with Fernandez Morente, who was at the forefront of the frontcourt .

In this way, the Valencia formation became a 3-4-3 formation.

"3-4-3 formation!"

Fernando Santos on the sidelines can naturally see that Valencia's formation on the field has changed at this time.

However, Fernando Santos has not yet seen through, what is Valencia's intention for such a change.

After David Villa retreated to the midfield, Valencia had more numerical advantages in the middle of the midfield. Most importantly, Valencia's midfielder did not consider the wings after controlling the ball. The problem is to take advantage of the number of midfielders to constantly attack Benfica's defense in the middle.

In the 57th minute of the game, David Villa suddenly changed his strategy of attacking the middle, and changed to a diagonal plug from the middle to Joaquin on the right!
After Joaquin received the ball on the right, he directly kicked the pass!

This time, Luisson and David Luiz in the Benfica penalty area are very vigilant this time. Out of the restricted area!

After the captain Pettit outside the penalty area received the ball from David Luiz, he subconsciously sent the ball to the right!
Last time it was Nelson!

This time, it’s Simang!

Compared to Nelson, Simao's lethality on the wing is notoriously terrifying in European football!
Even though Vicente had already returned to the defense in time, Simao still treated it as nothing, holding the ball directly to speed up the assault!
Even, Simao didn't need to seek "two over one" cooperation, and he was just going to force him to the end!

Vicente had absolutely nothing to do about Simang's sudden appearance!
Still on the right!

Benfica once again penetrated Valencia's wing defense!
"The opportunity is here!"

Watching Simao advance up the frontcourt with the ball at high speed, Diego couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly moved to the far post, leaving the direction of the near post to Nuno Gomez.

"What! This trick again!? I'll fuck it!"

David Navarro panicked. He hurriedly called Ayala and Albiol to help him defend Diego at the far post. However, Ayala and Albiol had already been defeated by Nuno Gomez pulled to the near post, and one person has already made up to the right. Who can take care of David Navarro?
