Chapter 271: Set Pieces
******
Real Madrid's attack is getting more and more fierce, but Valencia's defenders are not vegetarians, except for the attacking trio in the front, they are all defenders from the midfield to the back.
Even Valencia's forward midfielder Albelda was born from the center back and midfielder, and he knows far more about the concept of defense than attack, plus Baraja and Viana, two professional backs, although the defensive pressure is very high, but it does not seem to be very flustered.
After all, seven defenders still seem a little easy to deal with four and a half offensive players.
Why four and a half offensive players?
Because Robinho also brought Luxemberg's latest instructions after coming on the field, that is, Beckham, who played as a right midfielder in this game, needs to drop back a little and take care of defending Elloh.
So......
Despite Beckham's reluctance, his professionalism led him to accept what he was unwilling to do.
A true professional player should be like this, the coach can use it however he wants, without complaint!
Although Beckham and Iello are friends in private, they are not ambiguous at all when they play, and they have to foul when they should have fouled.
Beckham knew that Iroh was fast, so he always pestered Iroh at the first time, not letting the other party start lightly, and sometimes using both hands and feet, which looked quite wolf-like, but the effect received was good.
At least ten minutes into the second half, Iroh hadn't had a decent chance yet.
Even Luxemberg, who was standing on the sidelines, applauded Beckham more than once.
At the same time, the fans in the stands are also sharp-eyed, and Iro, who scored twice in the first half, has not had a decent chance so far, which is the credit of Beckham, so ...... They also did not hesitate to applaud themselves.
Everyone knows that Iroh is very fast, so Real Madrid's strategy in the second half is to compress his living space, that is, not to give him a chance to play alone.
After the first half of the game, Roberto Carlos also knew a little about Vicente's form in this game, using his rich experience to defend the latter from the bitter end.
Valencia's two flanks were confined by Real Madrid, so naturally the attack could not be carried out along the way.
In the usual case, Valencia might have been able to attack in a different way, but at the moment Aimar is suspended, and Angulo on the bench has not yet regained his former form, so he can only rely on two wings, but now ......
The commentator of Spanish national television excitedly said: "That's it! Restricting Valencia's two flanks would be tantamount to cutting off their attacking claws, and with the current shape going on, an equaliser is only a matter of time...... It's a pity that Ronaldo is a little injured at the moment, otherwise...... Where is Valencia's turn to play wild on this field? ”
The local and Chinese commentators in Valencia were worried.
Hyde looked at the situation on the field and subconsciously said: "If Enrique Flores does not make changes to the personnel on the field, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before Real Madrid, who is playing at home, equalizes the score on the field......
Seeing that Iello was restricted, Hevi's interest was not very high, and the commentary was almost the same as Hyde, "Valencia must make changes in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be very dangerous, and the current Real Madrid defense is worry-free, so it means that they can be unshirkable when attacking, and it can be said that they can get ......twice the result with half the effort when attacking."
At this time, some people will definitely say, why doesn't Iroh kick the ball directly to the bottom line, and then have a 100-meter race with the opponent?
It's not that this method hasn't been tried, but it simply won't work.
Sergio Ramos, who made a fatal mistake at the end of the first half, was very focused and well-positioned after the second half, and whenever Ielo was ready to use his speed, he would always break the ball at the first time, and he didn't need to foul at all.
******
Standing on the sidelines, Flores elbowed his right hand and dragged his chin over his left arm, clearly thinking about how to deal with changes on the field, which is also important for a good coach to adjust on the spot.
In fact, it is very simple for him to break the game, just let the two full-backs insert the assist, but ...... Flores, on the other hand, is worried that the two wings will be a test of the solid defensive system.
On the course he once played, he lacked a pioneering and adventurous spirit.
Perhaps, it has a lot to do with the position he played in the past.
At this moment, Baraja and Viana combined to cut off the ball at Zidane's feet in a very rare situation, and the latter quickly found Albelda in front of him after breaking the ball.
Albelda retreated to get the ball, Gravison quickly stepped forward, ready to counter-attack on the spot, and so did Zidane, who had just lost the ball, and the two forced Albelda one after the other.
Albelda had no choice, so he had to hastily poke the ball forward, because he knew that if he lost the ball at this time, it would be a very dangerous thing, and it would be better to kick the ball forward than to lose the ball on the spot, and if he was lucky, he might even pass it to his teammates.
And this time he seemed to be really lucky, and the football was kicked right at the feet of David Villa.
David Villa was ready to take the ball, so Albelda was not surprised when he poked the ball over, but took the ball and turned to face Real Madrid's goal.
Gravison had just surrounded Albelda with Zidane, so he was not on his defensive area at all, so Beckham, a part-time player, had to run to David Villa.
David Villa was alert to smash the ball behind him with his right heel as he moved forward, and Beckham rushed over his head, couldn't stop the car, brushed him along, and then landed with his right foot and kicked the ball quickly with his left foot.
Iello and Diogo and Sergio Ramos started at the same time.
Because the left foot is not David Villa's usual foot, all the accuracy is not very good, and the ball is slightly arcing, slightly inside, which is a bit difficult for Iello to get the ball.
Although his speed was very fast, putting Diogo and Sergio Ramos under great pressure, Sergio Ramos had a head start in the selection of positions, and with Elo on his left side, he had to kick the ball off the line before Elo.
Corner kick!
******
Seeing this, Flores's eyes lit up.
Right! There are still set-piece opportunities!!
Hurriedly put his hands open on both sides of his mouth, and motioned to Moretti on the sidelines to inform the attacking players in the front court that since they could not get a chance in the sports battle, they should find a way from the set-piece.
Luxemberg, who was standing not far from the side, naturally took Flores's words to the bottom of his ears, and immediately took countermeasures, shouting at Guti, who was returning to the defense: "Sue the back line, you must pay attention to the foul position at the front of the penalty area, they (Valencia) have a master of free kicks......"
In the process of returning to the defense, Guti nodded at Luxenberg, signaling that he understood.
Luxenburg also saw Guti nodding to him, so he quickly told his own defenders, so he nodded with satisfaction and returned to the home team's coach's box.
In his impression, this Valencia team has not yet scored directly in the corner kick opportunity, so he just regarded this Valencia corner opportunity as an ordinary attacking opportunity.
******
Albelda slowed down to the corner area to take the corner.
The Real Madrid penalty area was full of people, and Casillas nervously directed his players to defend the influx of Valencia players.
When he saw Iroh, his body suddenly trembled, and he frowned and subconsciously thought, "Could it be that he is also going to participate in this attack?" ”
Iro, who was standing at the penalty spot at the moment, was jumping lightly on the turf, not noticing Casillas' gaze, he was feeling if his physical condition was at its best.
After jumping a few times, I found that the force was good, and even ...... It's great!
Casillas gradually put all his attention on Iro, because according to his intuition, this ball should be headed by Iro, because he has a record of hitting the ball directly into the goal from a set-piece, and he has to defend it.
But then he was attracted by Marchena who was blocking him, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal to the referee.
Because the goalkeeper is protected by rules, as long as there is physical contact between the opposing player and the goalkeeper in the small penalty area, then the foul must be committed by the opposing player.
So after the referee saw Casillas's complaint, he hurriedly ran to the penalty area and warned Marchena, who had a very good attitude, and after seeing the referee come over with a cold face, he immediately became a good baby and nodded again and again.
But...... When the referee left, he rushed up again.
Just as Casillas was about to complain again, Albelda was already running and preparing to kick a corner, and he had to focus on the football that was about to be kicked for the safety of his own goal.
******
Ramos and Graveson were staring nervously at Elo, because they both knew that the Chinese kid in front of them was his own age with excellent bounce and accurate judgment of where the ball landed.
Albelda takes a corner!
Suddenly, all the players in the Real Madrid penalty area became nervous, and the phenomenon of pulling the jersey was not uncommon, Ramos grabbed the latter's jersey as Iello moved, preventing him from seeking the landing point of the football lightly.
Just when Ramos grabbed Iro's jersey and was proud, Iroh suddenly accelerated, and Ramos was caught off guard by Iro.
This...... Dangerous!
Ramos suddenly realized that it was a very dangerous signal to be freed from Ailo at this time, but his body's instinctive movements were not slow, and his footsteps followed Ailo closely, but in the Real Madrid penalty area full of people, it was difficult for Ailo to find a place where no one was.
So he had to go around the player in front of him.
And Ramos did the same, following Ielo around behind the players who didn't distinguish between them and us.
Albelda's corner is still in the air.
Rear point!
ps: Continue the three watches tonight and cheer for the national football team tomorrow night!
