Chapter 90 Getafe's Defensive Counterattack
Córdoba's final ranking last season was twelfth in the league, which is considered mid-range, with no worries about relegation and no hope of promotion. Judging from this ranking, one would think that Córdoba must have been in the second division for a long time, which is different from Getafe, who was promoted from the second division b group.
But in fact, like Getafe, they are all newly promoted last season.
Both are newly promoted.
The fate of Cordoba is much better than that of Getafe. They have just been upgraded, and the final ranking is in the good position of twelfth. Getafe, on the other hand, had to fight for relegation all season, and they were almost relegated in the end.
So even if he was once a newly promoted horse, Kordo has reasons to look down on Getafe from players to fans.
How about the away game? Didn't we beat them away last season?
Cordo launched a fierce attack on Getafe.
At first they were just probing, and then the offensive became more and more fierce.
All Córdoba people thought they could score goals very quickly.
But things backfired.
Ten minutes passed and Getafe's goal was solid.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the score on the big screen remained motionless.
Twenty minutes passed and the score remained unchanged, but Córdoba had to slow down because they were tired...
Attacking for twenty minutes consumes a lot of energy. Even professional athletes cannot guarantee that they can maintain a high rhythm for dozens of minutes.
Many Cordoba players have clearly shown a decline in physical strength.
They gasped and looked at Getafe's goal in astonishment.
I can't figure out why they still can't break Getafe's goal.
In the game last season, it was because they chose to actively avoid, but what about today?
Or take the initiative to avoid?
※※※
"Getafe's defense is impregnable, absolutely safe. It's a typical winning style.
In Spanish football, which advocates offense, he raised the banner of strictly guarding against defense. Although it has been criticized by many people. I think it is ugly and negative, but the effect is really good. Relying on this tactic, they successfully avoided relegation in ten rounds of the league. Now facing the pounce of Cordoba, who ranked 12th last season, their defense has not conceded a goal..."
The commentator, Crespo, was talking endlessly, when he saw a special write-up of Getafe's coach seat appeared on the monitor screen in front of him.
Obviously the game director also knows that Chang Sheng is the most important figure in this team.
After Getafe sold Pineda, there are no outstanding stars anymore.
Whether it's **vic, or Keku, or Jimenez, Canizares, these people are not very famous.
Any fool can see that this Getafe team emphasizes the whole.
"The young Chinese coach Chang Sheng. He is only 28 years old this year. He is too young, and many people are still playing football at such an age. Even as a coach, this matter is still inexperienced in an echelon team, but He became the head coach of Getafe's first team because of a coincidence. When he took office, the whole world was not optimistic about him. But he finally handed over a job that made all doubters have nothing to say Perfect answer! He led the team to avoid relegation after only nine league rounds!"
"Now in the new season, judging from the 20 minutes of the game, his work has been very effective, and the team's defense has improved to a higher level than last season..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw Chang Sheng in the camera yawning!
Even the experienced Crespo's brain short-circuited instantly.
He didn't know what to say about this scene.
Did Chang Sheng not sleep yesterday?
So all the spectators watching the game in front of the TV saw such a weird scene - Chang Sheng on the screen yawned loudly, as if the TV was muted. Crespo's commentary also came to an abrupt end.
※※※
"Heh—" Chang Sheng raised his head and yawned big, without hiding it.
The assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez, who was concentrating on the court next to him, couldn't help turning his head to look at him: "I'm so nervous, so you didn't sleep all night last night?"
"You're nervous." Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, "The 20-minute game is just too boring, and Cordoba's offense isn't that sharp..."
Cordoba scored 46 goals last season, ranking mid-range in the entire second division. Not top-notch, but definitely a lot.
At least more than Getafe.
Although it's only six more balls...that's a lot.
"It's always good to be well prepared before the game." Manuel Garcia also joined the conversation.
"Of course, of course." Chang Sheng nodded. "I'm just a little disappointed."
"I'm very happy." Manuel Garcia said with a smile, "This shows that our work in the summer is worthy of recognition, and all our efforts have been rewarded. I dare not say that our defense is in the second division. The best of the best, but at least it can be ranked among the best. Chang, I think I now realize the importance of what you said about defense. Although 95% of the teams in Spain talk about offense, defense is indeed more important. Important. In the Getafe game last season, I would never dare to have such a relaxed chat with the coach."
Chang Sheng hummed twice, and then he felt that he couldn't continue to sit on the coach's bench, otherwise he would really fall asleep. Then he may become the first head coach in world football to fall asleep while directing his team's game.
So he stood up from the coach's bench, then walked to the sidelines, squatted down, pulled a piece of grass from the ground, and held it in his mouth.
It's not enough to just defend, it still has to fall to attack in the end.
Luis Garcia didn't start this game, but the team's offense went smoothly.
If the game continues like this, he feels that scoring a goal is only a matter of time.
He has already seen that the Cordoba players are a little discouraged.
Based on the experience of ten league games last season, he knew that this was a good time for our team to score goals.
Now it depends on whether the people in the frontcourt can seize the opportunity.
In this game, Vicki replaced Luis Garcia as a left winger.
What Chang Sheng used was his speed.
Just thinking about it, I saw Carlos Campo in the backcourt make a tackle. Tackle the ball from the opposing player with the ball. Although he himself was not able to control the ball.
However, the football rolled to the other side and was taken by another midfielder Senna.
After getting the ball, Senna kept in mind the coach's tactical requirements.
When turning from defense to offense. When the midfielder takes the ball, he must be decisive and quick. As long as the opportunity is right, he will pass the football forward without hesitation. Goal? Of course it was Charisteas!
Senna immediately made a long pass, and the football flew from the air to the high center forward Charisteas in front.
※※※
Before the team has been in defense, in addition to defense or defense.
As the only center forward in the Getafe team who does not ask to return to defense, Charisteas is a little depressed, because he can only watch his teammates frequently appearing in the TV broadcast in front, envious and anxious-when will It's my turn to appear on TV!
Just at this time. He saw Carlos Campo shovel the football down. Then Senna next to him ran to control the football.
A summer of hard training paid off in this moment.
As soon as Charisteas saw Senna take the ball, he immediately reacted - the team is going to fight back!
A chance for Lao Tzu to show up!
Charisteas roared excitedly in his heart, but he still hasn't forgotten what he should do.
He quickly ran to where the football fell.
Of course, the opponent's central defender naturally also saw this point.
At this time, the competition is pure physical fitness.
But at this point... Charisteas is very confident!
Be sure to let the entire Spanish football world know my name, Charisteas!
He looked up at the ball, and then jumped high on the spot!
※※※
Cordoba's captain is the 33-year-old Juan Carlos Mandia, who is also the team's main central defender. on many occasions. His rich experience has benefited the team a lot.
But this time, he found that his rich experience could not help.
Because this is simply a battle that has nothing to do with experience!
As soon as he jumped up, he was pushed aside by Getafe's No. 9 big man and lost his position!
He lost all focus and looked up, only to find that the opponent shook his head and threw the football to the right side of the defense zone, the opponent's left!
The two landed almost at the same time. After landing, Juan Carlos Mandia was still staggering and embarrassed, but Charisteas had already turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.
This is Getafe's counterattack!
And look. They seem to be on the verge of success!
The old captain turned his head and looked to the side, hoping that Getafe's wide players would not get the ball under the pressure of his teammates.
To his slight delight, full-back Javier Ruiz was pressing on Getafe's winger Vicvic.
But in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened!
Because he found that **Vitch didn't intend to control the ball, so he directly sent the ball forward diagonally!
At this time, Cordoba's wing is empty!
The full-backs have all gone to the ribs to defend Vicki. The sidewalk is naturally empty!
※※※
The football didn't roll very fast on the turf, but it still went straight to the baseline.
If no one can catch up to the football, then the ball will just roll out of the baseline. Perhaps this is a failed attack by Getafe?
No!
The narrator Crespo exclaimed: "Italians!"
A figure running at high speed appeared in the camera, that is Getafe's Italian left-back Balzaretti!
Everyone's attention was attracted by him. I saw the Italian sprinting along the sidewalk, and finally caught up with the football before it almost crossed the baseline. Difficult crosses with feet!
The football drew an arc in the air and went straight to the back of the goal!
The attention of the Cordoba players in front of the goal were all attracted by Balzaretti's wild running. At this time, when their eyes moved back together with the football, they were surprised to find that in front of them was a figure The tall figure is jumping up!
"Angelos Charisteas—"
Crespo growled in a drawn-out voice.
※※※
Chang Sheng stood up from the ground, he still had the grass stalk in his mouth, but he didn't bother to chew it.
He just looked at Charisteas who rose into the air.
At that moment, he seemed to see this figure jumping high in Portugal four years later, the lion shook his head, and then...a myth was born!
At this moment, the same myth is about to be born!
This is the first match of the new season for Getafe, and the promotion legend of a silk team will kick off from this moment!
※※※
Charisteas has no opponent at all, because when he jumped in the air, none of the Cordoba players jumped up. They could only stand on the ground and look up at the Greek in the air. .
It was beyond their expectations that such a big man could have such an excellent bounce...
Charisteas faced the flying football, a lion shook his head!
With a muffled bang, he hit the football on the forehead.
Then the football flew straight to the goal.
Cordoba's goalkeeper Jose Ramon didn't respond to Charisteas' goal, and watched the football fly into the goal he was guarding...
"l!!!"
Amidst the roar of Crespo, the Alfonso Perez stadium was boiling! (to be continued) ()
