Chapter 442
Due to the lack of one man to fight, Notts County could not continue to be unrestrained, and the formation was also compressed to 441. Sneijder moved to the left, and Villa was the only one in the front.
Valencia has always been afraid of Notts County's attack, but now that there is one less person on the opposite side, they don't have so many worries. After sorting things out, they began to attack in an orderly manner.
For La Liga teams, pass control is a housekeeping skill. Even if Benitez's bats defend the top European teams, they will never forget the most basic things in their bones. Even without a top organizer, Can pass the ball to still look like a model.
From the fierce competition between the two sides for the midfield in the first half, to the fact that Valencia can easily control the midfield in the second half, there is only a gap of one person.
Seeing that the team is so brave, the Valencia fans in the stands are about to climax. They don't care if the opponent is missing one person, even if the opponent only has one goal left!
Of course, Valencia's offense is very strong, but it lacks a commander who can go through the needle. Lu makes a fuss, or inserts a long shot in the midfield.
Although Notts County was passive in the scene, Valencia invested heavily in the offense, which meant that the defense behind was empty, and Notts County's counterattack also had a lot to do.
So judging from the scene, Valencia has the advantage in possession of the ball, and various statistics have risen. The offensive data is equal on both sides.
At the 65th minute of the second half, it was not Valencia who was the first to really create a murderous intention, but Notts County, who had one less man to fight.
After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Alonso found Robben with a long pass. Peter Pan got the space to attack. He rushed all the way from the right to the penalty area, hit the middle, and followed up with Sne De outflanked the shot, and the ball was about to go into the goal, but it hit the post accurately at the last moment, which made the Notts County players feel sorry.
The Valencia players were also covered in cold sweats. They actually felt their backs were chilly on a hot day, and felt a burst of fear. If the ball was really scored by Notts County, then Valencia might really have to Completely passive.
Benitez is more anxious than the players. The team's offense is chaotic and he has no good way. He can't go to the battle to teach the players how to play!
So, his eyes turned to Aimar who was also looking anxious on the bench.
The clown has been recovering from his injuries. Although he came back to participate in the team's joint training before this game, everyone in Valencia knows that Aimar's injury has not healed. Strategic considerations, to stabilize the morale of the army, but if he can not be allowed to play, it is best not to let him play.
But in the current situation, Valencia lacks a creative midfielder, and there is no more suitable candidate than Aimar. Baraja and Albelda are both offensive and defensive midfielders, but when it comes to creativity Strength is far from the top midfielder!
After thinking about it, gritted his teeth, and finally Benitez let Aimar warm up, and in the 70th minute of the game, Aimar replaced Rufete, Aimar played in the middle, and Angulo was in the middle. Moved to the right.
The appearance of the clown Aimar made Valencia's offensive threat rise sharply. Even if he is not the top attacking midfielder, in this era, Aimar can also rank in the forefront. Created a huge threat to Notts County's defense.
In the 76th minute of the second half, Aimar took the ball to attract Alonso's defense, and then put his foot on the ground. Vicente received the ball near the bottom line on the left and hit the middle. Mista shot the ball and almost pierced it. Joe Hart's ten fingers closed.
In the 81st minute of the second half, Valencia made a comeback and Aimar took the ball again, but when everyone thought he would continue to feed his teammates, he suddenly started on the spot to get rid of Alonso's defense, and then at the big A long-range shot from the penalty area line, the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal.
At this time, Joe Hart, who likes big scenes, broke out. His good physical fitness allowed him to take off powerfully, stretched his body, and looked at the ball when it was about to go into the goal.
Although he was embarrassed, Joe Hart was unanimously recognized and encouraged by the big brothers of the first team after he got up. This guy was born for big scenes.
Although Loew was also admiring Joe Hart's save, the team's passive situation after Aimar's appearance made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. If he didn't make adjustments, the champion might really fly away.
So Loew made personnel adjustments, Mascherano replaced Sneijder, Kaka replaced Villa, the team formation became a 432 trapezoidal position, and once again sacrificed three midfielders Tactics, Kaka and Robben, the two fastest counterattack points, are left at the front.
Mascherano's task is very clear, which is to use his airtight defense to stare at Aimar. Mascherano will not show mercy just because he is a fellow Argentine.
As for Robben and Kaka in the frontcourt, as long as there is a chance to counterattack, one person alone may be able to create enough commotion in Valencia's half. Restless.
In the battle of wits with Benitez, Loew was not at a disadvantage. Although he is not good at making adjustments on the spot, this is the time to test the true strength of the two teams.
After the adjustment, the situation of the game changed immediately. Aimar was not so comfortable holding the ball. Mascherano showed his ability to see, so that Aimar could not carry the ball, and the pass was gone. Sight and space, more than half of martial arts wasted.
As a result, Valencia's offensive threat has decreased, and Notts County's counterattack opportunities have increased. Robben and Kaka, two players with strong individual combat capabilities, disrupted Valencia's half. The wind stirred up the rain and made waves, even if they didn't score a goal, the Bat Corps had to see that part of their focus was on counterattacks.
The scene became stalemate again. Although in the eyes of ordinary fans, this kind of game scene is not good-looking, but those who really understand football know that this kind of game has more gold content.
The game went on until the 83rd minute. Benitez was once again dissatisfied with the situation of the scene and made personnel adjustments. The defensive midfielder Sissoko played, but unexpectedly topped the striker position.
This kind of strategy, Loew looks very familiar, because before Klose joined, he often used this kind of tactics!
