[football] walk side by side

The focus of the La Liga media did not stay on Cyril for too long.

Because soon, another major news attracted their attention. In an interview where the reporters blocked Mourinho, there was basically no hope. It can be said that it was meaningless to face the reporters, such as "Will there be tactical changes in Real Madrid this season?" Mourinho answered uncharacteristically:

"When I came to Real Madrid a year ago, everyone told me that Real Madrid fans want to win, want to see beautiful attacking football, and so did I. I didn't do it last season because I knew it wasn't the time. But now what I want to tell you is -- this season, the time I've been waiting for has come."

As soon as this passage was spoken, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in Spanish football!Mourinho's meaning couldn't be easier to understand. It's no less than announcing to everyone directly: "Real Madrid will return to the road of offensive football this season!" Everyone who received the news was shocked!

Speaking of Mourinho, the first thing many people think of is his defensive counterattack, because from Chelsea, to Inter Milan, to Real Madrid, Mourinho has proved it with real records-he is the world's greatest Undoubtedly the anti-reverse master!But it is such a head coach who has insisted on defensive counterattacks in the six or seven years of his coaching career, and Mourinho, who insisted on his own tactics despite the dissatisfaction and doubts of Real Madrid fans last season, would switch to offensive football so simply ?

Among other things, after a year of running-in, many fans and the media have also seen it. At least for Real Madrid last season, defensive counterattack is the best choice, and forced offensive football is likely to only allow Real Madrid to continue ten times. The tragedy of Liu Lang is nothing more than the tragedy of Real Madrid. The results of Real Madrid last season also directly proved the effectiveness of defensive counterattacks. At this time, they suddenly lost the defensive counterattacks they had been working on for a year and switched to offensive football. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Isn't Mourinho crazy again?

La Liga media are busy analyzing the truth and falsehood of Mourinho's words. Some people say that this is the result of Florentino's pressure on Mourinho, asking him to maintain the noble tradition of Real Madrid. Some people say that Mourinho Just letting it go, talking about it, it is very likely that it is just for the psychological warfare of the league that is about to start, I can't believe his words...

Some media even went to interview the head coaches of other La Liga teams and asked them their views on Real Madrid's tactical changes.Most of the head coaches don't say a word about this. In their view, Mourinho is probably just yelling. It is not surprising that offensive football is associated with Real Madrid, but it is very strange to be associated with Mourinho.Besides, as far as Real Madrid is concerned, they still play offensive football?

Don't be afraid of being beaten into a sieve by the defense!

In any case, with Mourinho at the forefront, for a while, the media really didn't bother Cyril anymore.

After such a commotion, the players and coaches don't read the newspapers, but it's okay. The Real Madrid fans outside who are bombarded by various media newspapers every day will be miserable.

Regarding Mourinho's announcement of "offensive football", Real Madrid fans are also very complicated.If this Real Madrid team can really turn back to the noble and elegant king of the original team, the fans will naturally be more than happy, but after the last season, many fans gradually believe that defense is the current stage The best choice for Real Madrid, but the immediate question is, can offensive football win the championship?

Beyond that...can Jose Mourinho develop a team that is truly good at attacking football?His statement that Real Madrid will switch to attacking football this season is really... true?

I have to say that in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, with Mourinho's integrity in this regard, even if he talks about offensive football and turns his head to set up a bus on the field, the current Real Madrid fans will not be surprised up.

On August 2011, 8, the Mestalla Stadium, which can accommodate 21 fans, was full of seats. In the first round of La Liga, the Bats will sit at home and face Real Madrid from afar.At this moment, fans from both sides had already filled the entire stadium, looking from a distance, their eyes were full of black and white.

"I really didn't expect that we would have a day as opponents standing on the court."

When the players from both sides entered the field, Cyril and Costa shook hands. The two looked at each other and smiled. There was an accident, but more of a pleasure.Regarding Costa's emotional language, Cyril bent his lips: "Believe me, you won't like this feeling."

Costa rolled his eyes and had to admit for the one hundred and zeroth time that no matter how long he hadn't seen him, his friend was still annoying as always.

But sometimes, fate is so wonderful.When he was a teenager, he once thought that Cyril would grow up in Porto like himself, be promoted to the first team, and then put on the blue and white jersey and fight for the dignity of the dragon, but he did not think that in the following days, Cyril would leave for England , and he also went to the Bundesliga alone, the last one went to Real Madrid, and the other came to Valencia. After going around, it was a wonderful reunion in La Liga.

"I still don't like the feeling of you standing in front of me." Costa snorted angrily and waved his hand.The two ended their brief conversation, separated and walked to different halfs.

As the players from both sides entered the field, the commentator on the scene also began to introduce the rosters of the two sides. Every time he read a name, the stadium would immediately resound with loud shouts. Will be replaced by boos on and off the pitch.

Although the La Liga Football Association did not put various derbies in the opening game of La Liga, but in this first round of the game, in order to attract enough fans, it still made a lot of thought.As an opponent, although Valencia has suffered a debt crisis in recent years and even lost major players such as Villa and Silva, the overall strength of the Bat Corps has not declined too much. Until the end of last season, They both firmly occupy the third place in the league.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!

Valencia, who got the right to kick-off, launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal at the same moment the whistle blew. Aduriz immediately passed the football back to his own half after the kick-off, and the midfielder Albeldade Immediately after the ball, Valencia took the initiative to dribble forward, and Valencia's overall running was very active. At this moment, when Albelda dribbled the ball, he always maintained a triangle with at least two people around him.

As Valencia's midfielder, when Albelda dribbled the ball, he was not just moving forward. He didn't pass the ball, and he didn't think about technical excellence. Alonso greeted him.

Alonso was surprised by Albelda's active approach, but he didn't think much about it—even if Albelda didn't take the initiative to come over, he still wanted to guard against the opponent. Will miss this good opportunity, immediately slowed down a little bit, and at the same time vigilantly watched the movements under Albelda's feet.

He noticed that with a slight turn of Albelda's right foot with the ball, he was about to lead the football to the left, and his body quickly leaned to the left.

This is a relatively common passing action on the court. Many players will use this practical trick when facing defensive players. Generally speaking, they break through from the opposite direction of the dribbling player. Alonso agrees with this No stranger, now that he has noticed the other party's actions, of course he won't just let the other party go like that.He spotted the moment when the opponent's right foot touched the ball, and immediately stretched out his foot, ready to stop in the middle of the opponent leading the ball to the left.

However, this is just a fake move by Albelda!

He did intend to hit the ball with his right heel, and the center of gravity of his body was indeed inclined, but he did not intend to change his foot to dribble the ball and break through from the left. These actions were only used to mislead Alonso's judgment. Seeing that Alonso was being fooled, Albelda did not hesitate, and directly used this knocking action to kick the ball into the sidewalk.

It has to be said that Albelda's series of actions still has the qualities of a midfielder. He didn't just pass the ball forward as a player. As a double midfielder, he took the initiative to meet Ah Lonso, in fact, also changed direction and widened the distance between him and Cyril. While entangled with Alonso, he immediately kicked the ball into the diagonal back. Such a pass not only let Valencia The advance was transferred from the midfield to the wing, and at the same time, it was also taking this opportunity to directly skip Real Madrid's midfield and face the defense.

Sure enough, in the next second after he passed the ball, Topal, who was unmarked on the diagonal back side, easily stopped the ball and pushed the football to Real Madrid's backcourt!

It was Valencia's leading striker Soldado who received the football. As a striker, although his performance last season was not as good as that of Messi and Cristiano, he is undoubtedly among the Spanish strikers. He was also the top scorer of the season, and his performance last season was also very stable. Now he just used a realistic fake move to get rid of Carvalho directly and approach the Real Madrid penalty area!

And at this time, less than 20 seconds had passed since the game had just started!

Frankly speaking, this scene is all too familiar to Real Madrid fans. Real Madrid has always been particularly easy to give gifts to the opponent in the opening stage of the game, especially when the opponent is blitzed by surprise.

At this moment, the faces of the Real Madrid fans in the stands have turned ugly. Damn it, how many times has the door been opened to give gifts?Most of the fans can calmly wait for the result of this attack, but similarly, a small number of Real Madrid fans have lost their patience and are ready to boo when the goal is scored.

Contrary to Real Madrid fans, Soldado enjoyed the ball very much at the moment.

This is the current Real Madrid?There seems to be no difference from before, right?

Soldado thought casually, he could clearly hear the shouts and cheers of the Valencia fans in the stands, and the death-like silence in the away stands, what could be more encouraging than this of it?

However, his happy mood at the moment did not last long.

Because in the next second, a person appeared in front of him like a ghost, precisely stuck on the route he was going to move forward.Soldado, who reacted very quickly, immediately rubbed the football with his right foot. At this moment, there are also teammates near the Real Madrid penalty area who are supporting him. As long as he can pass the ball...

No then.

Just before he passed the football, Cyril reacted faster than him, and with a clean and impeccable tackle, directly intercepted the ball!

Soldado, who was intercepted by the ball, was still in place, unable to react for a while.At the same moment, Valencia coach Emery's face changed slightly, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

Of course, it’s nothing to be intercepted by Real Madrid. When they played against each other last season, Valencia was not uncommonly intercepted by Marcelo or Ramos. In terms of ability, the probability of being able to pass a deadly ball is also very limited.

But the question is... Can the ball passed by the defender be the same as the ball passed by Cyril?

This idea just flashed in his mind, but in the next moment, it evolved into a real fact and appeared in front of everyone!

After stealing the ball, Cyril sideways avoided Aduriz who was grabbing up, and directly played a long diagonal pass in the backcourt!

When Valencia's defense is usually stable, the threat of this long pass may still be limited, but when Valencia is pressing forward in a wide range, this seemingly simple pass seems like a sharp pass. The dagger, following Real Madrid's backcourt, crossed half of Valencia's defensive area, and went straight into the penalty area!

Cyril didn't drive forward with the ball, but at this moment, outside Valencia's big penalty area, there was already a figure that was enough to make the Bat Legion tremble.

When Albelda pressed the Real Madrid midfielder before taking the ball, Cristiano did not return to the defense with his teammates.

It is not so much that he is too lazy to defend, so he stays in the Valencia half to look for opportunities. It is better to say that he knows Cyril's ability too well. He knew early on that Soldado could not overcome the obstacle of Cyril. When running back, Cristiano went upstream instead, turned around and inserted into the opponent's heart!

Facts have proved that his inference is not wrong.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Real Madrid's side of the half, no one realized that Cristiano, who was Real Madrid's first striker, had already run to Valencia's side, almost as soon as he reached At the same moment in the penalty area, the football has reached in front of him synchronously.

Cristiano didn't waste this opportunity to send it to the goal. He took a shot on the spot and slammed the football towards the goal guarded by Alves!

The Valencia goalkeeper couldn't recover from this, he didn't even have time to make a saving posture, and watched the football pass by him, and slammed into the gate behind him!

And at this moment, less than 30 seconds had passed since the game had just started!
