Chapter 405: Finding an Opportunity

****

The game had just begun, and Shakhtar Donetsk's defense was very tight, not giving Ailo the slightest space to break through, even if the game had just started, it was not allowed, so Valencia's attack was in trouble.

The characteristics of the Eastern European team are vividly displayed in the Shakhtar Donetsk team, which is concise and practical, with solid fundamentals, good physique and speed, tactical pursuit of solid defense and fast advancement.

This did not take advantage of the home advantage to quickly dismantle the powerful Valencia attack, and through the rapid transmission of guò, the attack was advanced to the Valencia half.

In the second minute, Shakhtar Donetsk's backfield was strong, and Srna and Fernandinho suddenly broke off the football at Ailo's feet, and then quickly passed through the midfield to burn the fire to Valencia's backfield.

Due to Marchena's injury in this game, Ayala was a young Albiol in this game, and he looked a little helpless in the face of the attack of the fast and concise Shakhtar Donetsk, seeing that Agahova was about to enter the penalty area, Albiol stretched out his long leg and kicked his right foot to Agahova's right foot.

Then, the referee's whistle sounded.

Suddenly, Flores, who was standing on the sidelines in a thick suit, became nervous, and in his intelligence team, Shakhtar Donetsk had two players with a good level of free kicks.

This...... Will it concede a goal?

Half a minute later, Valencia set up a wall and the referee blew the whistle to signal that the kick-off was available.

Judson took a direct free kick, bypassed the human wall, and hung directly in the upper right corner of the goal, I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, which made Canizares's reaction half a beat slower, and he did not make any saves in the face of Judson's free kick.

Just three minutes into the game, Shakhtar Donetsk were at home ahead of Group D top-placed Valencia.

****

As time went on, Shakhtar Donetsk at home began to dominate the field, which was incredible for many of the commentators in the studio.

"Oh my God, Valencia is being kicked by a fish belly team like Shakhtar Donetsk, it's incredible!"

"Why do you always feel like the players on both teams are wearing the wrong shirts? The orange one is Valencia, right? ”

"With Ai being restrained, Valencia's attack can't open up the situation......"

……

……

"Damn it!" Iroh kicked the bulging turf hard and spat out a large gulp of saliva.

Just now, Ballack cut off the ball at the feet of Fernandinho at the edge of the penalty area, and then did not make the slightest stop, and kicked the ball directly to the left side of his attack, which is the direction he is in.

This is the usual routine used by Valencia on the counter-attack.

After nearly ten minutes of battling with Srna in the sleet, his body was very tired, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs were more like lead, and at that moment, Ballack's long pass came over.

So Iroh looked up at the ball, and was vigilant and ready to deal with Srna who stepped forward and hit him.

But the result was the same as the result after the opening, as soon as Iroh used his right foot to move the ball forward, Srna's shoulder came over, and when the body caught up, he quickly loosened his shoulder, and under normal circumstances, the referee would not blow a foul, so when Srna's body caught up with Eelo again, he hit Aelo with his strong body.

The result can be imagined, his physical condition on the field with illness is not as good as usual at all, and his confrontation ability naturally plummets, and it is very normal for the ball to be lost.

*****

Watching Iroh angrily kick away the bulging turf at his feet, Flores felt that something was wrong with Iro, originally he was unwilling to let Iroh play in this game, after all, Iroh is currently one of the most important players in the team, and he shouldn't be sick for such a game, but I don't know how he got through the team doctor's level and got permission to play, as the head coach, he can only nod.

This is the sadness of the La Liga manager.

According to the current ten minutes of play, Elo's physical condition is indeed not enough to cope with the fierce Champions League match.

After Iroh kicked the turf and vented, he supported his two thighs with his arms, looking quite tired, and his brows were furrowed, if this continues, the old team doctor Hernandez will definitely let Flores replace him, and then it will be a waste of substitutions, and now the team is still behind, and it is absolutely not allowed to end up with a nest!!

Every time Iroh got the ball, there was a loud boo from the home fans in the stands, which annoyed him greatly.

If his physical condition was normal, Iroh would have ignored the boos in the stands, but now that most of his energy was spent fighting against his crumbling body.

The camera once again shows Iroh taking the ball off the sideline, his face is very pale, and the wet white jersey has long been unable to distinguish whether it is rain or sweat, and there is a lot of grass clippings and mud mixed in it.

Huang Jianxiang looked at Ilo, who was breathing unevenly in the camera, and said worriedly: "According to the news before the game, Ilo is infected with a cold, and the competitive state he is showing now, and then thinking of the pre-game report, it is very likely that he is really sick on the field, if this is really the case, then the head coach Flores's personnel arrangement is quite a mistake......

Hyde's commentary voice was also full of concern, "Ai's running is obviously not as good as in the last few games, maybe there is really something wrong with his body, but ...... Shouldn't there be any problem if you get the qualifications to play? However, I think he should go to the sidelines and be examined by the team doctor now..."

And the local commentator in Ukraine has a different expression, excited and excited.

As a professional commentator, he naturally knows where Valencia's strongest attack point is, and now the state of Ailo has made his worries fly directly to Java, and he has also rekindled his confidence in the victory of Shakhtar Donetsk.

****

As soon as he arrived in Donetsk, Albelda, the core of the team, contracted a cold, which means that Valencia's responsibility for organizing the attack was pressed on Ballack, who had recently returned from injury, but his ability to work in tandem midfield and midfield was significantly lower than Albelda's, and his passing skills in carrying the ball forward were not in a hurry David Silva.

So every time in the process of switching from defense to offense, he chose to use a long pass.

If the current Ailo is a normal Ailo, then there is no problem with playing like this, but the problem is that the current Ailo is not the best Aelo, but plays with illness, which is why Valencia has not been able to open the situation.

Of course, the team can still rely on David Silva and David Villa, but Shakhtar Donetsk's midfield completely limits Valencia's midfield, and the only way to get out of the ball quickly is that there is no way to stop and organize the attack, so naturally they can't take into account other attacking routines.

The clock was ticking by and the game was already thirty minutes in, and Valencia's players still hadn't found a good way to organise their attack.

So Flores shouted at Joaquín on the bench: "Go warm up!" ”

At the same time, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the footage of the Donbass Stadium also gave Joaquín in the warm-up area.

The change of this shot naturally made the commentators from various countries in the studio start to discuss.

Of course, this shot was also seen by Aillo, who knew that Flores had completely doubted that his physical condition was not back to his best, and that this was the rhythm to change him.

No way!

Iroh shook his head violently, he knew that he had to show a reassuring appearance for Flores.

As Canizares prepares to kick the goal, the camera on the big screen above the pitch returns to Canizares, who is about to kick off.

Iroh's eyes lit up, there was no chance on the side anyway, so it was better to try his luck in the middle.

****

David Villa, as usual, was in charge of the goal kick, although he was only 1.75 meters tall, but he was more accurate in judging the landing point of the football than Marius, who was competing with him, so this time Marius was no longer ready to fight for the top in the normal way, he raised his head to look up at the football and put his elbow on David Villa's shoulder, so as not to let the latter jump lightly.

Of course, his action was relatively small, and the referee's position was not good, so he did not blow a foul.

David Villa is naturally not an easy loser, using Marius's body to block the referee's sight, his left hand also grabbed Marius's jersey, and also did not let the opponent jump lightly.

When the two of them were fighting fiercely, the football flew over, and as a result, both of them had a top football.

It's topped!

According to the previous process, every time Valencia kicked a goal, the football would be pushed back into the half, so Shakhtar Donetsk's players were focused on fighting for the second spot.

But what they didn't expect was that this time both of them rose to the top, and the ball grazed the back of Marius's head and fell to the turf behind him, and then bounced high, and the 20-year-old Ukrainian international Kigrionsky obviously did not anticipate this, and the ball bounced and then went over his head.

****

Iroh slowly ran to the top of the Donetsk Shakhtar's arc, ready to pick up David Villa, and if he couldn't, he could fight for the second spot.

With heavy steps, jogging past.

Fernandinho as the team's offensive rises, he who originally likes to participate in the attack is now not following Elo's side, plus the manager stood on the sidelines and did not yell at him, knowing that this is the manager's acquiescence to him, he honestly stayed in the midfield, ready to re-participate in the team's attack at the first time.

Srna, who had been defending Iro, also hesitated, but did not keep up, after all, Iro's state in the past half hour was not good, and it was not worth his physical energy to defend at all.

It's just that what the two of them don't know is that it was because of this negligence that the team conceded a goal.

Looking at the entangled David Villa and Marius, Arlo subconsciously thought, will it rise to the top this time?
