Looking at the smiling Valencia players, the Barcelona players were very unhappy!

At this moment, they even thought of the moment when all the Valencia players were sad to see them lift the trophy after the full game.

Now, let's make you happy for a while.

When the game is over, make you cry enough!!

……

……

Beep――

With the referee's whistle, the 05-06 Spanish Copa del Rey final was announced, and Valencia kicked off first.

As usual, Barcelona pressed for the ball in the first place, while Van Bommel walked to his own right flank in advance, as he did in the first leg of the previous Champions League semi-final, ready to defend Eiro.

But when he moved early, he found that Iroh did not run to the left as he was used to, but to the right side of his own attack, which is the left side of Barcelona's defense.

This......

Van Bommel was immediately surprised.

According to Rijkaard's pre-match arrangement, he should stand behind his own defense, and then help defend Ailo with Oleg, but now Ailo is not on the right side of his side.

Also surprised was Rijkaard, who knew what Valencia had been playing this season, and Eiro, who liked to cut inside, had been pinned to the left winger, so that he could pick up his right foot to score when cutting inside, but on the right side?

Is it to give up Valencia's strongest one and let Ailo cross it??

Thinking about this, Rijkaard seemed to understand why Valencia would send Ferrer and David Villa as two strikers, and it turned out to be this idea.

In fact, he was only half right.

The remaining half, Rijkaard, can only be understood through Guò Valencia's attack.

Van Bronckhorst started the game very awkwardly, because Iroh was on the left side of his side, so he never dared to move forward to participate in the attack, and Oleg on the right was not a full-back known for his attack.

In other words, Vicente's injury retreat made Arlo switch to the right side, directly abolishing Barcelona's two wings!

Flores was very happy to see this result.

Last night he pondered how he could minimise the impact of Vicente's absence, and finally ...... He saw the full-back pairing of Van Bronckhorst and Oleg.

Immediately, I had an idea.

It wasn't the left-back who made Van Bronckhorst famous, it was the playmaker in midfield.

After being withdrawn two years ago due to the injury of veteran Manu, he was temporarily redeployed by Rijkaard at left wing-back, but what he did not expect was that he played better at left-back than he did in attacking forward.

So, for the rest of the game, he was always deployed at left wing-back.

It's obvious...... This is a full-back who is stronger in attack than in defense.

Right wing-back Oleg is a very honest full-back who basically doesn't leave his zone, which is why he was on the right against Valencia.

As a result, Flores thought of bringing Ielo to the right, David Villa as the left winger, and Ferrer, who has rarely played this season, as the starting centre-forward.

It's just that what Flores didn't expect was that this substitution would make Barcelona extremely uncomfortable in the early part of the first half.

However, Iroh has the same disadvantage when he is placed on the right side, that is, he can only cross after forming a breakthrough on the right side.

If you want to cut inside and hit the goal, your right foot will be extremely uncomfortable, and it will always feel awkward.

Because cutting inside on the right is only suitable for left-footed players, if you want to cut inside on the right, you can shoot with the outside of your instep like Quaresma in Porto.

But Iroh clearly didn't have the practice to do that.

Therefore, Flores's adjustment is destined to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of his own lives.

Valencia's midfield is dominated by Albelda and Baraja, no worse than Xavi and Deco, but better than Barcelona's in terms of hardness.

And in the position of the forward midfield, there is also a flexible Aimar, who can use his speed, awareness, and running ability to improve the speed when counterattacking.

If Iroh is in fifth gear when he accelerates to dribble, then Aimar can also reach at least fourth gear.

This shows how much he helped the offense.

******

Nearly 20 minutes into the game, although the pace of the transition between attack and defense was fast, there were not many opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal.

On the right, Iello could only break through Van Bronckhorst frequently and then cross with his feet.

However, Ferrer and David Villa, who cut into the penalty area to grab points, are not tall centre-forwards, so the two are naturally inferior to the centre-back duo of Puyol and Marquez in terms of tackling.

And Barcelona's offensive performance was not satisfactory, Albelda and Baraja strengthened the restrictions on the brains of Deco and Xavi, and also made Barcelona's attack fall into a short-term dumb fire.

Although Ronaldinho also has an organizational aspect, his talent is more reflected in the acceleration of the ball breakthrough in the middle, and his organizational ability is still inferior to Xavi and Deco.

The combination of Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Giuli has also plummeted to the Valencia goal in the absence of midfield support!

Regardless of the strength of the players on both sides, these two teams know each other very well, whether it is the strength of the players or the technical and tactical play.

If you want to break the opponent's goal, you can only find another way.

*****

Iroh is still looking for a feeling on his right flank.

He has been playing as a left winger for more than a season and it will take some adaptation time to find himself on the right as he is on the left.

However, in the opening period he had found a sense of breaking through crosses, but he had yet to find a sense of direct threat to Valdés in the back of the net.

With the mentality of trying out, Valencia launched a quick counter-attack.

In the 28th minute, Iroh received a ball from the back from the back on the right flank.

Van Bronckhorst rushed up at the first time and stuck the position where Iroh broke forward, but Iroh had no intention of breaking through this time, but grabbed the former's jersey with his left arm, preventing the opponent from stretching his foot forward to break the ball, and then he passed the football to Ferrer who ran over.

Although the two have had few opportunities to work together this season, the tacit understanding between the two last season is still there, and Freire is very tacit, jamming Max's position on the grab, and then kicking the ball hard towards the baseline with the arch of his foot.

Because this can make full use of Iro's explosiveness and speed, giving him room to start accelerating and shake off the kraft-like Van Bronckhorst.

Meanwhile, Iroh clings to Van Bronckhorst's body and tries to catch up with the ball from the right touchline.

But how could Van Bronckhorst let him chase the ball so lightly?

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Iroh to turn around and block the linesman's sight, he tugged at the jersey behind Iroh with his right hand.

Because of this, Iro's feet subconsciously froze, Van Bronckhorst saw this and quickly loosened Eelo's jersey, according to the experience of these years, he has been ready to spread his hands and shrug his shoulders, indicating that he is very innocent.

But when he had already started acting as he had envisioned, Iroh suddenly froze and then restarted and accelerated towards the bottom line, making Van Bronckhorst's eyes widen for a moment.

Years of experience in warfare made him react between lightning and flint and chase back!

He stopped after a few steps back, but it wasn't that Iroh was too far away from him, it was that the speed of the ball was too fast, and according to his years of experience, no matter how fast Iroh was, it was impossible to catch up with the ball.

Even Andy Gray, the famous British commentator in the studio, expressed his opinion, "From the footage just now, you can see that Van Bronckhorst obviously has a pull on the jersey when defending Ai, although this action is small, but it is enough for him to disrupt his running rhythm, and Mista Ferrer's pass is also a little stronger, if ...... If it hadn't been for Van Bronckhorst just now, he might have been able to catch up, but now ......"

However, Valencia fans, who were nearly 20,000 people in the stadium, did not think so, and they firmly believed that Ailo would be able to catch up with this football that was about to roll out of the bottom line, because Ailo is synonymous with a miracle!

"Jianhong, Iroh can't catch up with this ball, right?"

The CCTV staff happened to be sitting in the stands of the corner flag on the right side of the Barcelona bottom line, so Huang Jianxiang saw it very clearly, and subconsciously turned his head to ask Liu Jianhong.

"It's hard to say......" Liu Jianhong stared at the cadence at Ailuo's feet.

Whoop -

Suddenly, there was a tsunami-like shouting in the stands.

Huang Jianxiang relies on many years of experience in commentary, and there must be wonderful scenes on the field.

*****

Iroh was still three or four meters away from the football, which was only a little more than a meter away from the baseline.

Seeing that the football was about to roll out of the bottom line, Iroh gritted his teeth, and the frequency under his feet seemed to add another point invisibly, and between the electric light and flint, he quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body to the minimum, bent the knee joint of his left leg, slid out of the ground with the outside of his foot, and stretched his right leg as long as possible.

Because Iroh was too fast before, he also glided fast, and according to FIFA regulations, the pre-match court must be fully watered, so Iroh glided forward faster.

That's why Iroh switched to a sliding tackle when he couldn't catch up.

Ferrer, David Villa and Aimar saw that Iroh didn't give up chasing the ball, and after a brief moment of consternation, they also quickly moved forward to meet Iroh's attack.

Like Van Bronckhorst, it was Max and Puyol who thought football was out of the line, but when they saw the Valencia players running forward, they also subconsciously ran back.

It's not about whether or not Iroh can catch the ball, it's their knee-jerk actions.

But for start-up reasons, they were behind the three players in front of Valencia.

To the cheers of the Valencia fans and neutral fans in the stadium, Iello hooked the ball back with his foot before it could roll off the line completely, but he himself almost hit the billboard due to his inertia.

This almost impossible opportunity, under the never-give-up spirit of Iroh, there is an opportunity that should not be had!
