160 Weird own goal
"Damn, this is a hell. This white hair really has two tricks." Mark inadvertently gave Canisales a nickname.
This was not intentional by Mark, but because of Mark's habit. At least Mark did not have any malicious intentions. It was just that Mark thought it was fun, and Mark felt that it was easier to call it like this.[]
However, no one heard Mark's muttering in the pursuit. If this is heard by Canisales, I believe that a quarrel would be inevitable for a while.
The game between the two sides continued, and Mark was still cruising on the sidelines, and then he would find a way to sprint whenever he had the chance. Anyway, Mark's physical fitness was good, so it wouldn't matter if he had a few more attacks.
But this has made Valencia's players suffer.
Especially Aimal and Caboni, they both happen to be players on Mark's side, and they are also covered by Mark's direct firepower points.
If Mark sprints, these two players must try their best to pursue Mark, otherwise they will lose their position.
Ranieli demands all-round players. When he was coaching at Chelsea, both of Ranieli's wing players were also relatively average players, both of whom were able to provide support and then return.
Duff is the absolute core of Chelsea, and Valencia's main left forward Vicente was injured. If Aimal performed poorly on the court, if Vicente returns from injury, there would be no Aimal's position.
You should know that Aimal's body is also relatively fragile. He has been injured many times this season, so his condition is not very good.
A skilled player like Aimal needs to stay in shape. If a player like Aimal has a strong offensive ability to defend, it will undoubtedly be a waste.
But there is no way for Ranieri to like this style of formation. If Aimal wants to play, he will adapt to the head coach's style.
However, Aimal also consumed too much physical strength during the retracement with Mark. Aimal's physical strength can no longer guarantee that he will have more experience in organizing an offense.
Ranieri may be a good coach, but his tactical style is very unsuitable for Aimal. Players like Aimal should not participate in defense. If he is allowed to defend, it would be a waste of resources.
Mark looked at Aimal who was gasping for breath. At this time, Mark couldn't help but feel sympathy for this talented Argentina player. I believe that if Aimal was at Atletico Madrid, he would be a role like Van der Fate, and he would be the core of the offensive.
"I think he has been with Valencia for a long time," Mark thought to himself.
The same idea was head coach Cooper. Cooper also saw that Aimal seemed a little out of place on the court. Cooper looked at Valencia's head coach Ranieri at this time.
Ranieri lived a pretty good life with Valencia, ranking third in the league, and the team's performance this season is also pretty good, and the team is still very likely to compete for the league championship.
Such results also satisfy the Valencia's board of directors. The Valencia's board of directors invited Ranieri to use his experience and qualifications to help the team win the championship.
Moreover, as an Italian, Ranieri's conservative cells in his bones will be the best match with Valencia, and he is also a natural candidate to take over Benitez's conservative football.
Therefore, after Ranieli came to Valencia, he also reformed the team and made tactical adjustments. The effect after the adjustment was also very good. The team's performance can be seen that Ranieli has gradually gained a foothold in Valencia.
Cooper still needs to continue to prove his strength at Atletico Madrid. Although Cooper has a history of envying others, it is still unknown whether his tactical style can still adapt to Atletico Madrid.
"I have not established Valencia's achievements. You are just continuing to make up for the pot," Cooper thought to himself after looking at Ranieri.
Cooper was full of disdain for Ranieri, and even Cooper was a little resentful of Benitez's success in Valencia, because Benitez won the championship in the first year after Cooper left, so Cooper, who had never won the championship, was also very jealous.
The game returned to the stadium, and the game entered the 44th minute, and the injury stoppage time was about to enter. This is also the most physically fatigued moment for the players and the most mentally relaxed moment for the players.
Mark was staring at Aimal at this time. Aimal didn't have much strength to attack at this time. He needed to wait for the whistle to sound at the end of the half-game and then go to the locker room to restore physical fitness and then replenish the moisture consumed in the game.
Mista dribbled the ball and moved on the right side. At this time, Mark was attracted by Aimal to defend in the middle, and the one who defended Mista was Atletico Madrid's right back Velasco.
Velasco firmly watched Mista. Mista is a striker with a very comprehensive skill. He can not only play forward, but also serve as the left winger. Therefore, his movement range is also very large and he seems very flexible.
Velasco also didn't take the ball to grab the ball against Mista's defense, but just a defensive strategy to defend his position.
Such a defensive strategy can ensure that Velasco cannot easily lose his position, but there is no big defensive method for Mista's pass.
And Mista indeed passed the ball, and he passed the ball to the Italian Divaio who was moving in the penalty area. Although Divaio was not tall, he was still very flexible.
Divaio's previous Serie A giant Juventus has a lot of talents on the forward line. Surviving in the gap between Trezege, Piero and Micoli (joined in the 2003-2004 season) is definitely a difficult thing. Divaio's playing style is quite similar to the latter two, so his life in Juventus has always been difficult. In the end, he had to choose to go to Spain after the 2004 European Cup. This season he joined Valencia team coached by Italian Ranieri, with the transfer fee of 10 million euros.
At the same time, Italian players, Feoré and Corradi, joined Valencia, and veteran Caboni made Valencia's Italian gang a success.
If it weren't for the injury of Fiorre and the poor form of Corradi, four Italian players would have appeared in Valencia's roster in this game.
This is not common for La Liga giants like Valencia, because the most foreign players they had before were mainly Argentinians, and it was also because their head coach Cooper was Argentinian.
Although Benitez continued many of Cooper's main lineups after taking office, Ranieri was not Benitez. What he needed was to cultivate his confidant players. The increase in Italians was the result of Ranieri's emphasis on cultivating confidants.
Divaio did not disappoint Ranieri's cultivation. He performed well in Valencia. He had already scored three goals in nine league games. This is Divaio's first season, which is quite good.
You should know that Valencia's style of playing is not the kind of team that attacks with all their strength. Every goal of Divayo is very important to Valencia.
After receiving Mista's pass, Divayo saw that Baraja had already run into the penalty area. He prepared to pass the ball without hesitation. This was a cooperation he was preparing to cooperate with his teammates.
Divayo is not a very selfish player. He is also very willing to cooperate with his teammates, so he is very popular everywhere, because a forward who is willing to pass the ball is also easy to like.
After seeing Baraha assaulted, Mark decisively gave up Aimal who he was guarding. Mark ran to Baraha to prepare to block this attack.
Because Baraja's front-court run made Mark feel dangerous, Mark felt that if he didn't defend Baraja this time, Atletico Madrid might lose it.
The two evils are more serious. Mark felt that Aimal had his teammates helping him to make up for defense, so Mark ran and shouted: "Stay at Aimal, stare at him."
Baraha also saw Mark appearing beside him, but Baraha did not slow down. He still rushed forward into the penalty area of Atletico Madrid.
At this time, Divayo indeed passed the ball. The moment he passed the ball, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco also moved.
After seeing Divayo's pass, Franco fell to the ground and prepared to get the football, but Franco's save position was not good.
Although Franco hit the football, the football flew weirdly towards the goal under his arm.
"Damn, this is not true, right?" Mark was watching Baraha's running while watching the football's flight route. After Mark watched the football slowly rolling into the goal, he cursed in his heart.
"Franco rushed towards the football... The football broke out of Franco's control and flew into the goal." Duan Xuan Ge was about to praise Franco's performance, but he immediately discovered a very serious problem.
"Oh...!!" The entire Mestalia Stadium suddenly became boiling, and they saw the football flying into the net.
The referee also signaled that the goal was valid and then asked Atletico Madrid to kick off the midfield.
"What's the situation? Why did you score a goal like this?" Mark said to himself.
Many Atletico Madrid players lowered their heads, especially Franco, who made a mistake just now, was making the final remedy when the football entered the net.
He crawled and rolled to block the football line, but unfortunately, although the football was not very fast, it was enough to fly into the net.
"This seems to be the mistake of Spanish goalkeeper Subizareta in the 1998 World Cup," Duan Xuan Ge also said regretfully in front of the microphone.
In the 1998 World Cup, Subizareta faced Nigeria's cross in his last World Cup match, which was not too threatening. Then, his inexplicable missed ball, led to the loss and the Spanish team's group failed to qualify.
Today, Atletico Madrid's Argentine goalkeeper Franco would make such a sluggish mistake, which made Atletico Madrid fall behind in the away score.
"It seems that our team is lucky." Ranieri also smiled after watching the team lead with a goal, and then he thought happily in his heart.
On the other hand, Cooper was very angry at the goal conceding this time. He was almost unbearable for Franco's careless mistake. If there was no better player in the goalkeeper position than Franco, Cooper really wanted to replace Franco directly.
Cooper didn't know what was wrong with him, an Argentine fellow, why he had to save an opponent's cross, and it also caused such a mistake.
If Cooper hadn't had any understanding of Franco, Cooper would have even doubted whether Franco had bet on the game before the game and then bought his own team and lost.
"Please cheer up, don't be like a foal. We have all lost the ball. We should find a way to make up for your mistakes with your next actions." Mark also ran to Franco and pulled Franco up and comforted him.
After hearing Mark's words, Franco was also savoring it. He felt that Mark's words made sense. He had already conceded the goal anyway. If he blamed himself like this, he might continue to make mistakes in the next game, and his main position would be in danger.
Franco knew that although Cooper was an Argentina coach, he had no special relationship with Cooper. Franco was brought in by the former head coach. Franco was not Cooper's confidant at all. If he did not perform well, Cooper had every reason to replace him.
"Thank you, Mark, I will prove it with my performance next. I just made a mistake just now." Franco stood up and thanked Mark.
After Mark patted Franco, he ran forward and prepared for the next attack. Although Mark could comfort others, he was very concerned about the goal just now. This was something Mark did not expect. The team was actually behind because of this inexplicable own goal.
"Atlan Madrid is in danger. A strange own goal was lost first on the away game. Moreover, Valencia's defensive ability is very strong," Duan Xuan Ge shook his big head and said constantly: "If Atlanta Madrid wants to equalize the score, it will change its next tactics."
After the re-telection, Atletico Madrid players also made several attempts, but the results were not good, and there was not much time left before the first half of the game.
Atletico Madrid ended the first half with a goal behind, and the players of Atletico Madrid lowered their heads, looking in a bad mood.
At this time, the camera showed several important figures in the first half, one was Divaio and the other was Franco, who was the only goal of Valencia's team in the first half.
The other one is Mark and Aimal. This is another highlight of this game. Mark represents speed, while Aimal represents technology.
So this game is also a confrontation between speed and strength. The other shots are like Cooper and Ranieri. In the second half, it also depends on how the two head coaches fight.
"Although Valencia is better than Atletico Madrid in terms of the strength of the team, the gap is not very big. Atletico Madrid's head coach Cooper has also been in La Liga for many years and has proved his strength. Coach Ranieri's coaching career in La Liga should be very dark." Duan Xuange has become a fan of Atletico Madrid, and the broadcast room has also become Atletico Madrid's home court. Duan Xuange's words meant that he is obviously optimistic about Atletico Madrid.
Of course, this has a very important relationship with Mark. No matter how you say Mark is also a representative of Chinese players, the only player who can rely on his own strength to firmly play in the top league's main players.
"We performed well in the first half, and I was quite satisfied, but you must concentrate and not be able to escape," Cooper said to Atletico Madrid players when he entered the locker room, and he pointed out the mistakes in the first half without a name.
Although Cooper did not name the name and talk about who was distracted, the players of Atletico Madrid knew who Cooper was talking about, so naturally he would be goalkeeper Franco. If it weren't for a mistake in the first half, the score might be zero to zero.
"Coach, I'm responsible for conceding the ball in the first half. I will be cautious in the second half." Franco also took the initiative to admit his mistake.
For Franco, it is also a great thing that he can take the initiative to admit his mistakes, because few players take the initiative to admit their mistakes, and many players make mistakes and correct them, but do not admit their mistakes. They think that admitting mistakes is a shameless thing.
"It's good to know if you're wrong. I'm looking forward to your performance in the second half." Cooper didn't say much to Franco. In fact, he couldn't say much, because there was still a big gap in strength between Atletico Madrid's substitute goalkeeper and Franco. If you use the substitute goalkeeper, it would be better to use Franco.
At least Franco is quick to react and good at it. Except for sometimes low-level mistakes, it is also trustworthy in other places.
