Chapter 264 Drag

Magath soon discovered this. In the first ten minutes, he allowed the Stuttgart players to make such an attack. He felt that such an attack should be able to force Valencia to make a pass error.

Then it's Stuttgart's chance.

But ten minutes later, Stuttgart got nothing, only a shot, and it was an attack from the backcourt, which had nothing to do with the steal in the frontcourt.

Five minutes later, Stuttgart still had no good way to face Valencia's constant passes, but just ran behind the football's butt.

If the press in the first ten minutes was still intentional, then the press in the past five minutes has become inertia.

Just like a car traveling at high speed is difficult to stop in a second, there is always an inertia.

Today's Stuttgart is in a kind of inertial psychology. They always feel that if they didn't grab the ball this time, maybe they will grab it next time? I didn't grab it next time, what about next time?

Just keep accumulating the next time, finally five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, and it has been twenty minutes. Stuttgart still has not used this kind of frontcourt to steal the next ball and launch an on-the-spot counterattack .

Magath observed Valencia during these 20 minutes and found that their players passed the ball very well, and the passing speed was very fast, almost without thinking or looking up.

After getting the ball, adjust it, and the football can be passed immediately, and the pass is very accurate, and the strength is just right. There is no reason why the Stuttgart players are pressing. In a hurry, the passing force is too strong, which makes it difficult for teammates to catch the ball.

Obviously. Valencia's passing is very proficient, and their players are very adaptable to this set of tactics.

No matter how fast Stuttgart's players can run, they can't compare to football. No matter how fast they are, can they pass the ball faster?

So running like this is doomed to be futile.

Although Magath is very confident in the physical fitness of his players, he doesn't think that his players can maintain this sprint speed until the end of the game, so his players can't stand it even if they take banned drugs. Unless everyone is superhuman.

This is not going to work, the strategy must be changed.

So taking advantage of a dead ball, he asked the players to slow down and stop following the football, which is stupid.

Players also found this problem,

No matter how fast they run, they can't get the ball.

Valencia passed the ball far faster than they thought.

They actually want to stop too. But it has become a habit.

Want to stop, but can't stop right away.

※※※

A stadium is so big, but there are only so few people, so they invest too much force in the frontcourt to press, which will naturally cause emptiness in the back line.

And that's the opportunity Valencia was waiting for.

When the Spanish reporters in the stands saw this scene, they couldn't help yawning.

Because Chang Sheng's move is no stranger to the Spaniards. In the beginning, they used to do this a lot, taking advantage of this quick kick in the backcourt, hoping that the opponent will come up to press, and then suddenly launch a fast break. Catch your opponent by surprise!

Later, after they always did this, the Spanish teams learned from it.

So Chang Sheng would not be so easy to deceive if he thought about deceiving his opponent like this.

Unexpectedly, it was out of Spain. There are still people who can be fooled!

Chang Sheng was expressionless on the surface, and it was hard to see what he was thinking, but in fact he was secretly having a good time.

It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was not seized!

Taking advantage of Stuttgart's desperate rush to lead to an empty defense, Valencia launched a fast break.

Unlike before, they kept cross-passing back and forth. This time, Valencia's pass was only forward, and there was no backward or cross-pass.

So soon they put the football within the thirty-meter zone of each other.

What followed was too easy for an attacking lineup with Reyes, Ronaldinho and Villa.

After Ronaldinho made a one-two with Villa, he broke into the penalty area and shot low.

The football flew into the goal from the far end.

"Goal scored! 1:0! Valencia took the lead at home! Ronaldinho!!!"

The narrator cheered.

There was also a huge cheer at the Mestalla Stadium.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldinho raised his arms and made a gesture similar to the "six" common to Chinese, which is his unique celebration.

There are many speculations about this movement. For example, some people say that this movement looks like the Nike logo, because Ronaldinho is the spokesperson of Nike, so he is advertising for Nike. Some people said that this action in Brazil means blessing and good luck. Ronaldinho used this action to celebrate his goal, and his colleagues also meant to bless himself.

Whenever he makes this move, it means he has scored again!

※※※

While the Valencia players were celebrating their goal, Magath cursed.

He has already seen the problem and plans to make adjustments. But after he made adjustments and now there is a delay of a few minutes, it is impossible for him to say what he wants the team to do immediately, and the team can immediately reflect it.

At first he felt that it would only take a few minutes and nothing would happen.

Unexpectedly, Valencia's fast break was so fast.

And just scored!

Don't be so bad about your luck, right?

It was just like this that Valencia seized a chance to score...

But he just scolded his mother on the sidelines, and he quickly returned to work.

It was just a conceded goal, and he didn't take it very seriously. Since this game is an away game, he is ready to lose. His goal is to score away goals.

So it doesn't matter if you lose a goal, as long as you can score a goal.

Of course, it doesn't make sense to lose too many goals. If a game goes down. They conceded five goals while scoring just one. What's the use?

At the very least, the previous pressing tactics can no longer be used. Not to mention not being able to grab the ball, it also wastes energy in vain, resulting in an empty defense...

Although he had told the players to slow down before, don't force the ball at the feet of the Valencia players. However, due to inertia, this latest instruction was not immediately reflected in the game.

Now Valencia's goal is more like helping him step on the emergency brake.

The entire Stuttgart team was directly stopped.

Now he can properly deploy new tactics to his players.

※※※

When the game restarted, everyone saw it. The Stuttgart players who had been playing chicken blood before suddenly slowed down and no longer ran all over the field to chase football.

Most of the time, when the Valencia players were back and forth in the backcourt, the Stuttgart players were indifferent, just kept in their defense zone, and watched.

It seems that he doesn't want to attack anymore.

Anyway, even if they lost 0:1 in the end, it would be an acceptable result for Stuttgart.

But how could they not attack?

Magath wants an away goal very much.

So now this gesture is nothing more than an illusion.

Just hope to paralyze Valencia.

Hope Valencia let down its guard. At that time, Stuttgart jumped up and gave Valencia a hard bite on the neck.

The 1:1 result is very favorable for Stuttgart.

Chang Sheng looked at Stuttgart like this, and thought of the information about Stuttgart that he had collected before.

These are assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez and other members of the coaching staff to help him collect.

It's not limited to the Stuttgart game video.

They collect everything related to the Stuttgart team. He even picked it up directly from the German media. At this time, Elias Dominique will also act as a guest interpreter after training, translating reports about Stuttgart in the German media for Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng remembered that Stuttgart coach Magath had inadvertently revealed in an interview with German domestic media that his goal in this game was first of all to score away goals.

If that's true. Magath will definitely not start to shrink his defense so early, determined not to score.

The game has only lasted for more than 20 minutes, and this puts on a posture of sticking around until the end of the game... Isn't it too fake for a man with a fierce temper like Magath?

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng was not in a hurry.

Isn't it more than patience?

Come come come. Let's see which of us is more patient.

He walked to the sidelines and gestured to the players on the field. Instruct them to stabilize the rhythm, don't rush to attack, and use the "dragging tactic".

The players know what the manager is going to do.

They do this often, and they already have a tacit understanding.

※※※

After the game restarted, Magath found that Valencia had also lost their rhythm.

And it's painfully slow...

The central defenders and defensive midfielders were back and forth in the backcourt, and the Stuttgart players didn't go up at first, thinking that they would send the football up by themselves after a while, and it would not be too late to start after the football entered their own defense zone.

Unexpectedly, the two Valencia players passed the ball back and forth like this, and they stopped coming!

Carvalho passed the football to Albelda, Albelda passed the football to Carvalho, Carvalho passed the football back, Albelda looked back and found that the Stuttgart players hadn't tried to push up If there is no sign, the football is passed to Carvalho.

Just passed five or six feet back and forth to each other!

The players in Stuttgart looked stupid-I have never seen such a blatant delay of the game time!

But the Spanish reporters in the stands rolled their eyes—the shameless strategy of Chang Sheng appeared again! Aragones must be very sad... Ever since the victorious Getafe used this trick in the Copa del Rey final with his Mallorca, he has used it often. But also in this season, he used it less and less because he didn't need it.

I didn't expect that something that was played badly in La Liga would still have a market in the Champions League...
