Chapter 350: The Brand New Valencia (
Chapter 350 The brand new Valencia (
"Leedon Oriental, who just set a record of unbeaten for 43 consecutive rounds in the Premier League, welcomed Valencia at home... It is no stranger to the city of London. Last season, they lost three goals to Leiden Oriental here... I believe they will not receive any preferential treatment here. In fact, this season, Leiden Oriental has become a team that is not welcome in the whole of Spain. Their progress in the Champions League this season is simply a history of suffering for La Liga teams. In the first stage of the group stage, they
Joined with AC Milan to eliminate Barcelona. In the second stage of the group stage, they defeated Real Madrid first and then advanced to the top. In the quarter-finals, they eliminated La Coruña in the La Liga Champions League last season and entered the semi-finals. The opponent they are facing is Valencia. They met four La Liga teams in a season of the Champions League, which is probably a brand new record. For Valencia, there is one more reason for them to enter the finals - they cannot let Leiden Oriental become the nemesis of La Liga... "
"Haha, guys, have you seen what this guy said? I like this nickname, La Liga nemesis... To be honest, I think our tactics are really restrained by La Liga teams, because they are delicate in skills but their physical ability is average, I like to deal with such teams. But, Valencia's team is different. Last season, we beat them continuously in the group stage, which is actually lucky. This season, Cooper will not be fooled by us again." Xiao Ming looked at the news on TV and said happily
"Valencia's personnel have changed a lot this season. Last season's main players left four, half of them were new players." McDonald said with a copy of information.
"But their performance in the Champions League this season is much better than last season, and their performance in the league is similar to last season." Wilkins also held a document in his hand.
"Farinos transfers to Inter Milan, Gerard transfers to Barcelona, Mendeta transfers to Real Madrid, Lopez transfers to Lazio... These are the players who performed the best last season. With almost all the main frameworks left, Valencia can still perform better, and they really can't underestimate them." Xiao Ming nodded: "Their signings are very outstanding, Baraja, Deschamps, Zahovic, Aimal, John Caru... These players may not be famous, but they are all very good.
Practical players, Ayala made their defense more stable. This short defender is one level better than Jukic. They also dug up a young winger Vicente from the Spanish Second Division. This deal is worth it. He scored five goals and thirteen assists in the league. A very fast and excellent wing player even squeezed Kielly Gonzalez to the bench. If we hadn't lacked good players on the wing, I would have really wanted to buy him. Daniel would have an opponent in tomorrow's game."
"Do you think their main left frontman will be Vicente tomorrow?" asked MacDonald.
"Kelly didn't get anything good in front of Daniel last season." Xiao Ming replied: "If I were Cooper, I would have to take some changes... Although Vicente performed well this year, Valencia's main left forward is still Keelly. Maybe he wanted to scare us... But their right side is a little useful. After Mendeta left, Cooper couldn't find a trustworthy right forward. Cooper initially wanted to use Zahovic instead of Mendeta, but Zahovic was more used to activities in the middle, and the same was true for Aimal. So in recent games, Cooper often sent five midfielders to let Baraja and Angulo take turns to support the attack on the right side, but after all, where is the vacancy, the pressure on that place will definitely not be too great. Tomorrow the left side should be our focus on offense, specifically playing Anguema's point. Let me see how long the French black guy can last."
"Angulo accumulated yellow cards in the last game, and he could not play in this game." Wilkins reminded Xiao Ming: "And the seven people of Valencia, Pellegrino, Caboni, Baraja, Kili, Deschamps, Zahovic and Karu will be suspended if they get another yellow card."
"Really? It seems that our compatriots are doing well." Xiao Ming laughed. He had not noticed it before. This was really good news!
"Boss, it's best not to think about earning yellow cards in the game. Although it's our home court, the referee is the bald sea monster Corina. If he notices our thoughts, we will be passive." Seeing Xiao Ming like this, McDonald knew what Xiao Ming was thinking and immediately reminded him.
Xiao Ming scratched his head: "Colina? It seems that this method cannot be used..." Xiao Ming felt very regretful. He originally wanted to drag the game into the rhythm of constant fouls between the two sides. If Valencia's seven main players had five or six of them in the second round... Valencia's bench thickness is not as tight as Leiden Oriental.
"Daniel and Gerald will also be suspended if they receive another yellow card." McDonald continued to remind him.
"What the hell..." Xiao Ming wanted to curse. Daniel and Gerrard are indispensable figures in their team. These two young players with good physical fitness and excellent physical fitness are rarely injured. Personal abilities and extraordinary skills are one of the few people he relies on the most. You know, even if Figo Jinklaze is suspended, he still has Glenshare and Joe Cole to make up for it. If Daniel and Gerrard are suspended... Could it be that Tovding and Sun Jihai? They are still a little short of playing at this level of game.
"Forget it, don't think about these things. If the players are always worried about whether they will get yellow cards on the court, then it's better not to let them go. Let's talk about it after they get yellow cards. Steven and Daniel are not the kind of players who often eat yellow cards." Xiao Ming shook his head. I guess Cooper is in the same mood as himself now, right? But he has much more people to worry about than himself. Caboni, Pellegrino, Baraha and Karu are all enough for Cooper to have a headache for a while.
"This game will definitely be a hard battle. Valencia will not let us gain an advantage at home so easily. Be careful of their counterattack. Although Lopez is gone, their counterattack tactics have not lost their souls."
Brisbane Road, May 3.
"What we are going to do today is the semi-finals of the Champions League. Premier League team Leiden Oriental plays against La Liga team Valencia at home... Although these two teams have not participated in the Champions League, there are not many grudges at all. Leiden Oriental's head coach Xiao Ming has won three consecutive games against Valencia's head coach Cooper, including two years ago when Cooper was in Mallorca. Leiden Oriental has played against four La Liga teams in a row this season, and Valencia has also played against three Premier League teams in a row. In the second stage, the group stage beat Manchester United to become the first in the group. In the quarter-finals, it is Leiden Oriental that continues its super high winning rate against La Liga teams or Valencia's good performance against Premier League teams this season? Let's wait and see."
"Valencia's main striker Angulo cannot play due to suspension. Argentine head coach Cooper replaced him with Juan Sanchez. He partnered with Norwegian forward John Caru, the four midfielders are Baraja, Alberda, Vicente and Aimal. The only remaining four main midfielders in the season, Kili Gonzalez sat on the bench. This is a brand new midfielder, and the defense is Bahru.
The most stable link in Rencia is the goalkeeper of the Spanish national goalkeeper Canisarez, and the four defenders are Anguema, Ayala, Pellegrino and Caboni from right to left. This steel defense line conceded the least goals in La Liga this season. Can they escape unscathed in the face of the fierce firepower of Leiden Oriental? It is worth noting that in this starting lineup, four players in Brasilia will be suspended after taking another yellow card. They are defenders Cabon
Ni and Pellegrino, midfielder Baraja and forward Karu, this is a very unfavorable point for Valencia. Leiden Oriental's starting lineup today is their usual 442 formation, goalkeeper Jasqueline, defenders Daniel, Deselli, Hypia and Ashley Cole, midfielder Marklele, Gerrard, Jinklaze and Figo. The two forwards are Brazilian Edmunddo and Dutch forward Van Nie. Fanny's return after recovering from injury
He performed well in the Champions League. He only played four times and scored three goals. Instead, he has not scored a goal in the league. It is obvious that Xiao Ming wants to play the characteristics of his good at playing the Champions League, which has allowed Phillips and Kloze to sit on the bench. There are also two generals from Leiden East who can't play with another yellow card, namely midfielder Gerrard and defender Daniel. Xiao Ming also faces the same troubles in this game."
Xiao Ming turned around and looked at the visiting team coach's seat on the other side, but saw Cooper also looking at him.
Cooper, with a thin face, had a cold look. It was obvious that he was still resentful of Xiao Ming's super high winning rate against him. For a head coach like Cooper, losing three times in a row to the same opponent was obviously an absolutely unbearable thing.
He knew that Leiden Oriental is stronger this season than last season. Figo's arrival has greatly increased the offensive power of Leiden Oriental's midfielder, but his Valencia is also very powerful. Although many people have been poached, the huge amount of funds brought is enough to allow Cooper to form another team that is stronger than last season. Now Valencia's defense is more stable, the midfield is more dynamic, and the forward has more impact - it is no longer the team that relies on fast counterattacks to conquer the world last season - if Valencia had insufficient offensive ability last season, Xiao Ming would not have defeated Valencia twice in a row with fast counterattacks at home and away games, and forced the team to be strangled in the group stage.
Feeling Cooper's hostility and desire to fight, Xiao Ming smiled slightly, then sat back on the coach's seat, waiting for the start of the game.
Norwegian striker John Caru, 1.97 meters tall, has excellent heading, and is not bad at feet. He has extremely excellent impact. He is one of the most affordable center monsters in the classic football manager game cm0304. In the real world, his abilities are absolutely excellent, especially this season, his presence makes Valencia's offense full of three-dimensionality and impact.
Such a center forward with a taller figure than most players, good foot skills, and strong body like a bison, is definitely an extremely lethal striker on the football field. Although Caru is only less than 22 years old this year, this season has been his best performance in history. Although Cooper, who is good at using centers, his goals are not many, he has completely played the role of a center forward and has become the most threatening pawn in Valencia's frontcourt.
Haipia is not very short, but it is still a gap compared to him. Especially in terms of physique, Haipia is inevitably a little thin compared to Karu, who looks extremely strong. She obviously suffered some losses in the few battles after the start of the game.
Ayala's big-footed clearing ball in the backcourt was won by Karu to the first place. Hypia's interference did not play a role. The Norwegian Giants headed the ball and immediately threw the ball to the left.
Vicente's ability to accelerate instantly was fully utilized. He rushed into Leiden East's half with two big strides, and then rushed forward like a rocket. When the ball was about to fly out of the sideline, he stretched out his foot and stabbed it forward, and then rushed directly without reducing the speed.
When catching up with the ball, Vicente was quite proud. He did a series of movements just now without any delay, and he maximized his speed advantage. Now there is enough room for him to cut in to directly threaten the opponent's goal. Vicente doesn't believe that anyone can return to defense so quickly.
But the footsteps coming from behind immediately dispelled his fantasy. Vicente glanced back and immediately found that the deputy captain of Leiden East, who was not a few years older than him, had already chased him from behind with great momentum.
Vicente stopped in an emergency. After seeing Daniel stopping, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward again. He thought that Daniel could not be able to increase the speed to the maximum instantly like himself. However, Daniel, who is already quite experienced, knew what he was going to do when he saw his movements. Although he did not have the ability to suddenly burst and accelerate, he tackled the ball that Vicente had just struck out in time, and then raised his foot and tripped Vicente up to the sky.
This action is a bit redundant, but it is Daniel's usual action - you want to swing past me from the beginning, so I have to let you know - boy, don't want to play tricks on my territory!
Corina, who kept up with the timely movement, saw Daniel clearly. He did not judge Daniel to foul, but gave Valencia an out-of-bounds ball in the frontcourt, then called Daniel over and warned him a few times. Daniel nodded and then retreated.
"This kid is doing a pretty job, the Spanish kid should be more restrained in front of him." Xiao Ming said with a smile on the sidelines.
Cooper took a step forward in dissatisfaction, and then retreated without saying a word.
Next, Valencia's offense was resolved by Leiden East. Leiden East quickly launched a counterattack. Edmunddo shook Baraja's defense while running, but was knocked to the ground by Pellegrino who came up to fill the position. Leiden East fans in the stands booed a huge boo to put pressure on the referee, but Corina was not affected by the home fans. She just warned Pellegrino and then gave Leiden East a free kick in the frontcourt.
Figo's free kick bypassed the wall, but was saved by Canisales with one hand. Figo then took a corner kick, and the shot in front of Fanny was blocked by Ayala, who was guarding the goal in front of the goal.
After being attacked continuously by Leiden East, Valencia quickly launched a counterattack. You attack once, I will do it once. Although Valencia defended closely, she still fought extremely firmly during the attack.
After several rounds and turns, Aimal and Vicente changed positions, and Daniel came up. Aimal, nicknamed "The Joker", only transferred from the Riverbed during this winter break. Aimal, who was able to dig out one of the Gemini stars from the Riverbed before other giants, also surprised other European teams at the time. Although Aimal was still adapting to Spanish football, he didn't have much time to play, but his excellent skills, breakthrough ability and organizational ability still made him another source of vitality in Valencia's offense, and even suppressed Zahovic, who had played the main force before, to the bench.
After shaking back and forth a few times, seeing Daniel standing firmly, Aimal did not force a breakthrough, but dribbled the ball into the middle, and then passed the ball to Sanchez who was pulling it to the left. Sanchez quickly went down and passed the ball into the penalty area before Figo made up.
Karu and Hypia competed for the position. He used his body well. He carried Hypia behind him and suddenly jumped up. He faced the ball with a side-length barb shot!
Seeing such a giant playing such a difficult move, the fans of Leiden East were also surprised. Fortunately, Yasquelen was not scared like them. Under the constant interference behind Hypia, Karu's shot was very sudden, but his speed was not very fast. Yasquelen made a quick side pass and saved the ball.
Ashley Cole got the ball on the side. When the attacks just now were concentrated on the left, Valencia's right seemed quite empty. Ashley Cole didn't hesitate and dribbled the ball forward and rushed forward. He dribbled the ball to Baraha near the center circle before hurriedly running over to defend him. Ashley Cole passed the ball to Jinklaze who was receiving the ball in front. Jinklaze once again transitioned the ball to Edmundor in front. Leiden East instantly completed the offensive and defensive conversion.
Chapter completed!
