Chapter 355 The Opportunity to Spell Out
*****
Looking at the smiling Valencia players one by one, the Barcelona players were very upset!
At this moment, they even thought in their hearts that after the whole game, all the Valencia players were saddened, witnessing the moment when they held up the trophy.
Now, just let you have fun for a while.
When the game is over, let you all cry! !
……
……
Beep——
With the referee's whistle, the 05-06 Spanish Copa del Rey final began, and Valencia kicked off first.
As usual, Barcelona rushed to grab the ball immediately, while Van Bommel, like in the first round of the last Champions League semi-final, moved to the right of his side ahead of time, preparing to defend Aiello.
But when he moved ahead of time, he found that Ai Luo did not run to the left as he was used to, but ran to the right of his own attack, which is Barcelona's defensive left.
This……
Van Bommel was immediately surprised.
According to Rijkaard's pre-match arrangement, he should stand on the back of his own defense, and then help defend Aiello with Oleg, but now Ailuo is not on the right side of his side.
Rijkaard was also surprised. According to his understanding of Valencia's tactical play this season, Aiello, who likes to cut inside and hit the goal, has always been nailed to the left winger position, which makes it easier for him to swing his usual right foot to score when he cut inside, but what about the right?
Is it to give up Valencia's strongest item and let Ai Luo pass? ?
Thinking of this, Rijkaard seemed to understand why Valencia sent Ferrer and David Villa two forwards. It turned out to be this idea.
In fact, he was only half right.
For the remaining half, Rijkaard can only gradually understand through Valencia's offense.
Van Bronckhorst was very awkward after the opening, because Aiello was standing on the left side of his side, so he was afraid to go forward and participate in the attack, and Oleg on the right side was not a full-back known for his offense.
In other words, Vicente's injury forced Aiello to switch to the right, directly abolishing the two sides of Barcelona!
Flores was very happy to see the result.
Last night he thought hard about how to minimize the impact of Vicente's absence, and finally...he saw the pair of full-backs Van Bronckhorst and Oleg.
Immediately there was an idea.
The position that made Van Bronckhorst famous all over the world was not the left back, but the midfield organizer.
When the veteran Manu retired two years ago due to injury, he was temporarily placed in the left back position by Rijkaard. What he did not expect was that his performance at the left back was better than his attacking avant-garde position.
Therefore, in the subsequent games, he has been arranged at the left back position.
Clearly... this is a full-back who is more attacking than defensive.
The right back Oleg is a very honest full-back, basically he will not leave his defense zone, which is why he will be placed on the right side against Valencia.
Therefore, Flores thought of letting Ai Luo come to the right, David Villa as the left winger, and Ferrer, who rarely played this season, as the starting center.
It's just that what Flores didn't expect was that this substitution adjustment made Barcelona extremely uncomfortable at the beginning of the first half.
However, Ai Luo has the same disadvantage when he is placed on the right, that is, he can only cross after forming a breakthrough on the right.
If you want to cut inside and hit the goal, your right foot will be extremely uncomfortable, and it always feels awkward.
Because cutting in on the right is only suitable for left-footed players, if you want to cut in on the right, you can shoot from the outside of your foot like Porto's Quaresma.
But Ai Luo obviously has no practice in this area.
Therefore, it is destined that Flores' adjustment this time is to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.
Valencia's midfield has two giants Albelda and Baraja sitting in it. It is not worse than the duo of Xavi and Deco. On the contrary, it is stronger than the combination of Barcelona in terms of hardness.
And there is also a flexible Aimar in the position of the front midfielder. When attacking, he can use his fast speed, awareness, and strong running ability to improve the speed when counterattacking.
If Ai Luo is in fifth gear when accelerating with the ball, then Aimar can at least reach fourth gear.
This shows how much he helps the offense.
******
The game started for nearly 10 minutes. Although both sides of the game had a fast rhythm when switching from offense to defense, there were not many opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal.
When Aiello was on the right, he could only frequently break through Van Bronckhorst and then kicked a cross.
But neither Ferrer nor David Villa, who inserted into the penalty area to grab points, are tall centers, so the two are naturally inferior to the pair of central defenders Puyol and Max in terms of grabbing points.
The offensive performance in Barcelona was not satisfactory. Albelda and Baraja strengthened the restrictions on the brains of Deco and Harvey, which also caused Barcelona's offense to fall into a short-term misfire.
Although Ronaldinho also has organizational skills, his talent is more reflected in the acceleration of the breakthrough with the ball in the middle. In terms of organizational skills, he is still not as good as Harvey and Deco.
The combination of Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Giuly lacked midfield support, and the threat to Valencia's goal also plummeted!
Regardless of the strength of the players on both sides, the two teams know each other very well, whether it is the strength of the players or the technical and tactical style of play.
If you want to break the opponent's goal, you can only find another way.
*****
Ai Luo is still looking for feeling on his right side.
He has been playing as a left winger for more than a season, and he still needs some time to adapt if he wants to find himself on the right wing as well as the left winger.
However, during the opening period, he has found the feeling of breaking through the cross, but he has not yet found out the feeling of directly threatening Valdes to guard the goal.
Ailuo was holding the mentality of trying, and Valencia hit a quick counterattack.
No. In the 208th minute, Ai Luo received a football from Morais from the backcourt on the right.
Van Bronckhorst rushed up at the first time, stuck in the position where Aiello broke forward, but Aiello did not intend to break through this time, but grabbed the former's jersey with his left arm to prevent the opponent from easily stretching forward to steal the ball, and then he passed the football across to Ferrer who was running over.
Although there are few opportunities for the two to cooperate this season, the tacit understanding between the two last season is still there. Freire is very tacit, stuck in the position of Max, and then kicked the ball hard to the baseline with his arch.
Because this can make full use of Ai Luo's explosive power and speed, so that he has room to start accelerating and get rid of the nougat-like Van Bronckhorst.
At the same time, Aiello clung to Van Bronckhorst's body and tried to catch up with the football from the right touchline.
But how could Van Bronckhorst allow him to chase the ball so easily?
Taking advantage of Ai Luo's turning around to block the linesman's line of sight, he yanked the jersey behind Ai Luo with his right hand.
As a result, Ai Luo subconsciously stopped, and Van Bronckhorst quickly loosened Ai Luo's jersey. According to his experience over the years, he had already done the gesture of spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, expressing his innocence.
But when he had already started acting as he had imagined, Ai Luo suddenly stopped and then restarted to accelerate towards the bottom line, making Van Bronckhorst's eyes widen immediately.
Years of experience in fighting made him react in a flash and chase back!
He stopped just a few steps back, but it wasn't that Ai Luo was too far away from him, but that the football was moving too fast. According to his years of experience, no matter how fast Ai Luo was, it was impossible to catch up to the football.
Even Andy Gray, a well-known British commentator in the studio, also expressed his opinion, "From the footage just now, we can see that when Van Bronckhorst was defending Ai, he obviously pulled his jersey. Although this movement was small, it was enough for him to disturb his running rhythm, and Mista Ferrer's pass was a bit strong. If... there was no Van Bronckhorst just now, maybe he could catch up, but now..."
However, the nearly 2 Valencia fans in the audience didn't think so. They firmly believed that Aiello could catch the football that was about to roll off the bottom line, because Ailuo was synonymous with miracles!
"Jianhong, Ai Luo can't catch up with this ball, right?"
The staff of CCTV happened to be sitting on the stand of the corner flag on the right side of Barcelona's baseline, so Huang Jianxiang could see it clearly, and subconsciously turned his head to ask Liu Jianhong.
"It's hard to say..." Liu Jianhong stared at the pace of Ai Luo's feet.
ooh ooh-
There was a sudden burst of shouts like a tsunami in the stands.
With years of commentary experience, Huang Jianxiang is sure to have exciting shots on the field.
*****
Ai Luo is still three or four meters away from the football, and the football is only a little more than a meter away from the baseline.
Seeing that the football was about to roll out of the bottom line, Ai Luo gritted his teeth, and the frequency of his feet seemed to be added invisible. In the blink of an eye, he quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body to the lowest point, bent his left knee joint, slid out from the ground with the outside of his foot, and stretched his right leg as far as possible.
Because Ai Luo's previous speed was too fast, the speed of gliding was also fast. In addition, according to the relevant regulations of FIFA, the stadium must be fully watered before the game, so Ai Luo glides forward faster.
This is why Ai Luo switched to chasing the ball with a sliding tackle when he couldn't catch it.
Seeing that Ai Luo did not give up chasing the ball, Ferrer, David Villa and Aimar also quickly moved forward to respond to Ai Luo's attack after a short period of amazement.
Like Van Bronckhorst, Max and Puyol thought the football had rolled off the bottom line, but when they saw the Valencia players running forward, they also subconsciously ran back.
This has nothing to do with whether Ai Luo can catch the ball, but their subconscious actions.
But for starting reasons, they were behind the three forwards of Valencia.
Under the cheers of all Valencia fans and neutral fans, Aiello hooked the football back before it completely rolled over the baseline, but he himself almost hit the billboard because of too much inertia.
This almost impossible opportunity, under Ailuo's never-give-up spirit, a chance that shouldn't have appeared!
