Chapter 397: Wolf Pack Tactics
*****
Although David Pizarro is nearly 30 years old this year, his physical fitness is still excellent, and his body is as strong as ever.
So, with a raging smile, he ran to Iroh, who had already finished taking the ball and turning.
As a veteran who is about to turn 30, he not only has a strong body, but also a wealth of experience, and he has at least ten ways to keep players with great speed in place.
However, this time he didn't want to use a savage foul to keep people in place, because that would be too boring, anyway, this so-called La Liga king is nothing more than that, and the defensive intensity of Serie A is not comparable to La Liga!
David Pizarro naturally spread his legs apart and lowered the lower plate so that he could complete the turn and steal in the shortest possible time, and there was De Rossi on his left side looking down, which meant that the Chinese kid in front of him could only break through from his right side, close to the left sideline.
After Elo took the ball and finished turning, he did not increase his speed, but walked slowly with the outside of his right foot, leisurely, and suddenly kicked the ball under the crotch with his right foot when he was still two meters away in the face of David Pizarro, and then started to fly at high speed from the right side of David Pizarro's body, that is, the left touchline of Valencia's attacking direction.
Whoop -
This kind of unreasonable breakthrough method, Iello has used it in La Liga I don't know how many times, but the fans in the stands still don't get tired of watching, at the same time as he started, the fans close to the stands on the left side of Valencia's attack, first exclaimed, and then swept the entire stadium.
It's their habitual action, or rather, subconscious.
****
David Pizarro was serious, he also thought that Iroh would use his explosive characteristics and break through from his right, but what he didn't expect was that Iroh started faster than he thought!
It's like a ghost, ghostly passing by at high speed.
So he didn't react when Iroh stabbed the ball between his legs, but froze.
A qiē happened so fast!
Right wing-back Panucci really didn't expect Iroh to break through David Pizarro so lightly, and his reaction was a little slower by half a beat, but his rich game experience allowed him to rush to the football at the first time, and looking at the distance between the football and himself, he was confident that he could touch the football earlier than Aillo.
However, he seemed to have forgotten an incident.
That is the age that cannot be ignored in professional football, he was 33 years old at the end of the 05-06 season, which means that he is now 34 years old, both speed and explosiveness have declined very strictly, and naturally he can't compare speed and explosiveness with young men in their early twenties.
What's more, this is Iroh, who was strengthened in speed and acceleration last season?
After a second, Panucci decisively gave up the idea of stepping forward to clear the siege, but quickly adjusted his competitive state and adjusted the center of gravity of his body to the lowest, so as to ensure that he would break off at the first time when Ailo broke through.
Of course, his defensive positioning is also very good, and a player with excellent speed like Iroh has only two options in this situation, either cut inside or break through to the baseline and cross.
If Ayroh's in-cut route and baseline breakout route are a fork in the road, then Panucci's position is the place where this fork in the road must be.
Iroh wasn't as complicated as Panucci thought, he had only one thought, and that was to break through the defender in front of him.
He was about two metres away from Panucci and received the ball with the outside of his right foot, but he didn't take the ball sideways to cut inside or add a force on his toes again to break through the baseline.
Instead, the outside of the right foot touches the ball with the inertia of the body forward, and the ball is flicked to the left side of Panucci's body with the outside instep of the body, and his body runs through the right side of Panucci's body.
Person? Ball?
Is it chasing people or chasing balls?
Suddenly, Panucci realized that his head was a little underwhelmed.
He had already had dozens of ways to keep people in place, but now because of Elo's unconventional cards, all of his previous plans were frustrated.
The game was changing rapidly, and Iroh naturally didn't stop and wait for Panucci to react again, he walked behind Panucci and then got the football in his hand.
After taking advantage of the situation, he entered the penalty area from the sideline of the big penalty area, and the central defender Zivo had to come up to make up for the defense.
At this moment, Iroh suddenly picked up his right foot, and Zivo subconsciously stretched out his left leg to block the eye.
Elo smiled weirdly, quickly put down his right foot, and used the outside instep to flick the ball horizontally, shook off the angle, and picked up his right foot again, this action can frighten the other central defender Ferrari, and he can't care if David Villa around him has anyone to defend, he rushed up with an arrow step, used the inertia of the body, jumped up, and opened his body naturally, expanding the eye-catching body area to the greatest extent.
But Iroh was nothing more than a feint, his right foot didn't pull towards the ball at all, but quickly put it down, and then the supporting foot turned in an arc, and with a push of the arch of his right foot, the ball rolled from Ferrari's feet to where he had just stood.
At this time, Ferrari was very remorseful, as long as he was not impulsive just now, then he could at least clear the football that rolled at his feet now, but now because the vacated body has no place to borrow strength, it is natural to make another defensive move.
David Villa met Elo's incoming ball and easily struck with his right foot on the edge of the six-yard penalty area to send the ball in the opposite direction of goalkeeper Doni's save.
1:0
*****
“goooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!” The Mestalla Stadium radio immediately heard Mario's passionate roar, "The goal is—"
"- Ai!"
At the same time, the home fans in the stands also echoed violently.
Spalletti clutched his head in annoyance, his expression was very painful, and if he had hair, he would probably pull it out.
At the same time, he is also very remorseful, he really shouldn't have played so strategically away from home, after all, Valencia is a traditional Spanish team, and the passing ability must not be very bad, and ...... There is also a strongest attack point that is ready to go, and this ball is not unjustly lost!
After clearing his thoughts, Spalletti shouted at Perrotta, who was at the front: "According to Plan B!" ”
……
……
Less than five meters away from the home team's coach's bench was a different scene, Flores and his assistant hugged and celebrated, he knew that there would definitely be a goal after letting Ai strengthen break through, but what he didn't expect was that the goal would come so quickly, and it seemed that it would not take three minutes to give the order, right?
He looked at Iro, who was being surrounded by his teammates, and secretly clenched his fists, with him, this season's Champions League may really not be a luxury.
The ability of the individual is too strong!
*****
"Now not only Valencia is improving, even Flores's coaching ability is steadily improving, in the first two minutes, he just made a tactical change to the team, what he didn't expect was that it would be so effective, Ai increased the strength of the breakthrough, and immediately made the Roma team's backline as if it were a void, and finally lightly entered the penalty area to assist teammate David Villa to score, and 99% of the credit for this goal should be credited to Ai, because David Villa's job is very simple, just a touch of it... …”
"Now the problem is handed over to the away Roma team, in the face of Valencia, who are good at playing and controlling football, according to their current lineup, it is a little difficult to break through Valencia's defense, but everything is not absolute, as long as the Roma team is full of confidence in the next game, they still have a chance to equalize or overtake the score on the field, after all, their wolf tactics are still quite strategic."
"Conceding a goal in more than 20 minutes in the first half is not necessarily a bad thing for the Roma team, because the deadlock on the field has been broken, and in the next game, both sides will be quite jealous of whether the other side will break through their own goal, and suddenly there is a hunch that this game will definitely play a big score."
……
……
After Valencia took the lead, the commentators from various countries gave their opinions.
****
After conceding the goal, the Roma team did not recycle the formation, but took advantage of the opportunity of the kick-off to pile up a large number of attackers in the front field, hoping to equalize the score in the shortest possible time.
This is the horror of the wolf tactics of the Roma team, the players on the field after losing the ball will not be too frustrated, but quickly smooth out the mentality, turn the disadvantage into an advantage, the loss of the ball is not the end, after losing the goal, I don't know that enterprising is the real end.
Baraja was staring at Prince Totti of Rome, and his mind still had the words that Iello had said to him before the start of the game, and the most dangerous character in the whole team was the Roman flag that he was staring at.
In the last twenty minutes, he has already experienced the power of this legend, even without the ball, running at any cost, and if he is not careful, he will seize the opportunity to deliver a lethal pass.
If it weren't for the very focused attention of goalkeeper Canizares, who decisively abandoned the goal and held the ball, otherwise it would not be Valencia but Roma who are playing away from home.
So after Roma restarted, Baraja didn't care about anyone, but ran directly to Totti, who was ready to respond.
Sure enough, as soon as Totti got out of the arc of Valencia's half, the football was passed over, and then the other five midfielders in the Roma team quickly dispersed like wolves into a flock, causing a visual impact on the Valencia defenders.
There was an influx of attacking players that left Valencia's defenders stunned, with only Baraja nervously following Totti, who had the ball.
This person is the core of the wolf pack tactics, the absolute core!
"Beautiful! Rome began their wolf pack tactics!! Now the game is going to develop in an interesting direction......"
