Five hundred and twentieth IX header

Valencia's tactical adjustments have been somewhat out of the way.

At first they thought the team might defeat Chelsea head-on, and they didn't care about Zhang Tiehan, so they fought head-on with Chelsea, showing their home momentum and the Spanish league first-class style, but the result was that they were led by Chelsea early.

After being led by Chelsea, they changed their tactics and became the whole group to defend themselves... Such a large-scale tactical adjustment made the fans in the audience very uncomfortable, and the live commentator couldn't help but say, "Valencia's tactical changes seem to be a bit big..."

This is almost going from one extreme to another.

This may be related to Valencia's achievements in recent years. Although they have performed well this season, in fact, since the "Sanya King" score in early 2000, Valencia has been on the decline. Their performance has always been poor. The tradition of defensive counterattacks has also been passed down since that time, because Valencia can achieve good results by using defensive counterattacks, and they really have no advantage in playing offensive football.

In other words, Valencia is actually just about "what tactics can achieve good results" and it is about playing any tactics. The club has only one requirement for Flores, that is, results. No matter what tactics or anything, as long as the score is good, everything will be passed.

The same goes for Valencia fans. They can no longer care about whether the team's game is good or not. They will be very satisfied as long as they can win the game.

So when Valencia changed tactics on a large scale, making the game extremely passive, but Valencia fans had no resistance. They just hope that the team can defend the goal and find another opportunity to equalize the score.

At the same time, Chelsea began to find ways to break through intensive defense.

There are many ways to break intensive defense. However, for Chelsea, the best way is to use Zhang Tiehan to seek opportunities, which is inevitable, because Zhang Tiehan has the strongest personal ability, so when Zhang Tiehan proposed to increase the high-altitude ball and look for opportunities in front of the goal, Chelsea teammates began to try to do this.

So the two sides became active.

Especially on the left, Robben didn't cut inside after getting the ball, so he directly drove the ball into the penalty area with a big foot.

The same goes for others, such as Lampard and Barack, and Zhang Tiehan and Drogba in the penalty area are active. Both are big guys and are very good at heading. Even though Valencia's defense is tight, they can still find a place in the Valencia penalty area.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was squeezed into the penalty area. He was more than 1.9 meters tall, about the same as Drogba. Both of them were quite burly. They were like two posts standing in the Valencia penalty area. This gave Valencia players a headache, and they dared not relax their defense against them.

Zhang Tiehan is still the focus.

Drogba is also very strong, but Drogba actually scored not many headers, and the whole world knows that headers are Zhang Tiehan's signature goal-scoring method, so Valencia's focus on defense is still on Zhang Tiehan.

This time it was Chelsea's attack again.

As Valencia shrank its defense line in a big way, Chelsea's defense pressure was not high in the backcourt, and full-back Ferreira also rushed up. After he cooperated with Lampard, he ran directly to the front and then completed a cross from the corner of the penalty area.

Football heads straight to the penalty area!

"Notice!"

Seeing the football flew over, Valencia's backcourt defensive player Elgra immediately yelled and reminded his teammates to be careful. At the same time, he and Miguel also tightly sandwiched Zhang Tiehan in the middle, and the two central defenders had the defense of the two central defenders. This kind of defense was definitely very tight.

Before the football fell, Zhang Tiehan glanced at Drogba behind him. Drogba was also blocked by two people. His position was not very good, and he didn't have many ways to deal with the tight defense.

Zhang Tiehan made a judgment and had to come by himself.

But he was defended very closely, and it was difficult to rush through the defense. Valencia fans were not worried. In their opinion, no one in the world can do anything under the clamping of Elgra and Miguel. But just when they thought so, Zhang Tiehan rushed forward slightly. Elgra was hit by this and his body was a little unstable. Zhang Tiehan took advantage of the gap in this moment and jumped up directly on the spot.

He didn't jump high, after all, there was Miguel behind him, and he didn't even have the gap to jump, but this height happened to catch up with the football - in the air, Zhang Tiehan jumped slightly and directly shook his head to attack the goal.

"bump!"

Zhang Tiehan had no time to adjust his body and attacked vigorously. The only time he had was to let the football hit his head and bounce towards the goal.

"It's OK..." Many people are thinking so at this moment.

The Valencians watched the football hit Zhang Tiehan's head and bounced towards the goal without any means. The football was heading towards the Valencia goal, and they could only pray that goalkeeper Hildebran could defend the goal.

Hildebrand is 28 years old this year. This age is not very big for a goalkeeper. He is a German. He was born in Wolms, Germany. He transferred to Stuttgart in July 1994 and was promoted to Stuttgart first team in 1995. After drawing 0-0 with Cologne on October 4, 2003, Stuttgart became the first team in Bundesliga history to not conceded goals in nine consecutive games.

Hildebran once broke Kahn's record of not conceding goals in 803 minutes and extended the new record to 884 minutes.

However, in the German national team, due to the presence of Kahn and Lehmann, the young Hildebran had to settle for the third goalkeeper.

Last summer, Hildebran transferred to Valencia freely and became Valencia's No. 1 goalkeeper. He performed very well this season and was an important contributor to Valencia's ability to achieve good results. However, other Valencia players didn't think much of this game, but Hildebran was under great pressure because he was a goalkeeper and he knew very well that he had to face the opponent's No. 9, that is, Zhang Tiehan's shooting, which was a challenge for any goalkeeper.

Just now, the opponent shot directly from a long distance of more than 30 meters, but Hildebran didn't react. He kept recalling the goal and felt very upset - he was more serious and could save the ball, but unfortunately regretting it has no effect at all.

But this also made Hildebrand more serious about the game, so when he saw Chelsea keep passing the ball at high altitude, Hildebrand took 100% seriousness and his attention to Zhang Tiehan had basically not changed. Then he saw Zhang Tiehan's header. Facing this ball, Hildebrand made a calm judgment and rushed to the left. He blocked the ball with both hands and left the baseline.

Chelsea fans all secretly complained that it was a pity.

However, Hildebran, who stood up from the grass, was still a little annoyed. He thought it would be a powerful header, but the football was not strong enough - such a ball could be caught directly with both hands, which means that the ball was not strong at all, and he cared too much.

Zhang Tiehan felt a pity when he saw that the ball was not scored, but he didn't care. The team was leading. And there were many opportunities.

......

Seeing Zhang Tiehan's header, many Spanish media were also worried about Valencia, "Maybe Valencia should pay more attention to her defense against Zhang, otherwise it will be difficult for them to ensure that the goal is not lost..."

The Spanish commentator commented.

"Zhang's personal ability is too strong. He can finish headers under the defense of Elgra and Miguel. It is not good for Valencia to choose to defend heavily. They should take the initiative to attack. No team in the world dares to say that facing Chelsea's offense can guarantee that they will not concede goals. Valencia is definitely not the special one..."

This is a bit neutral, but the Spanish commentator still supports Valencia. It’s just that they analyze it from a neutral perspective. They don’t think Valencia can defend the goal, just look at the performance of the two teams during this period.

In fact, Valencia coach Flores was also worried. After seeing the header just now, he knew that the team was difficult to defend. But he could not adjust his tactics anymore. He only hoped that the team could defend the goal in the first half, so that Valencia would still have a chance to make some adjustments in the second half. After all, there was still the second round. If you want to leave the suspense in the second round, you should not concede too many goals in the first round.

"open……"

On the other hand, Chelsea coach Boas is also chanting Zhang Tiehan's name. He is very satisfied with Zhang Tiehan's performance. He is very glad that the team has such a player, which makes the team have no pressure on goals.

He suddenly thought of "Senior Brother" Mourinho.

The most important reason why Zhang Tiehan failed to come to Chelsea in the past few seasons is Mourinho. Mourinho began to think that Drogba is more suitable for Chelsea than Zhang Tiehan, so Drogba came early, and then Zhang Tiehan performed well the next year, but Mourinho believed that the team already had Drogba and no such a big center forward was needed. Then Mourinho insisted on his opinion, so he and Zhang Tiehan passed by.

Mourinho...is still too stubborn.

He is good at everything, has excellent abilities, but is too stubborn. He never admits the mistakes he has made and never repents. This is also the reason why he left Chelsea. Perhaps this is also the reason why he can succeed, but no matter what, Boas is now Chelsea's head coach, and he has Zhang Tiehan under his command, and he is very grateful for this.

Mourinho once had to worry about Chelsea's goal, and the media mocked Chelsea's 1:0 conservative tactics, but isn't 1:0 a helplessness?

Now that Zhang Tiehan has no 1:0 tactics at all. Even though the team's energy is still a little more focused on defense, there are very few goals in a game. Zhang Tiehan is the guarantee of the team's goals.

......

Soon the two teams started again, this time it was Chelsea's corner kick. Lampard walked to the corner flagpole. Just when everyone thought he was going to prepare for a free throw, Lampard suddenly passed the ball to Robben who was inserted. Robben didn't even think about it and directly sent the ball into the chaotic penalty area.

"This is Chelsea's tactical cooperation! Be careful!" The commentator on the scene hurriedly shouted to remind Valencia.

It's a pity that he was just broadcasting, and his voice could only be reached to the fan stands, and it couldn't be reached on the court. And it was a bit late because the Valencia players had seen it a long time ago, and they seemed a little panicked because they didn't expect Lampard to do this.

As a result, when the football flew over, there was only Elgra left by Zhang Tiehan. Elgra's defense was very good, but he was 31 years old after all, and he was too old compared to Zhang Tiehan. Moreover, the physical fitness of the two was not on the same level. As a result, Zhang Tiehan forced Elgra and took two consecutive steps in the penalty area, making Valencia's crowded penalty area look even more chaotic. Then he jumped up calmly and waved his head to the falling football.

Attack the goal!

"I'm in!" After Zhang Tiehan completed the attack, he shouted before he even landed.

With his voice, the football rushed directly into the right corner of the goal, without any suspense.
Chapter completed!
