Chapter 260 Defensive Counterattack
On the Mallorca side, from the moment Getafe scored the third goal, the players on the field were as if they had been petrified, and they were all stunned.
Off the court, there was also mourning on the bench.
Many people put their heads in their hands and looked at the field with blank eyes, unable to believe what they saw.
Tangtang ranked third in the First Division this season, yet he was beaten like this by a Second Division team...
Even if they are promoted successfully, they are already considered a first-tier team, but they are at most a newly promoted horse, and they are newly promoted horses who have not signed in to strengthen their strength. Which newly promoted team does not sign after promotion? A newly promoted team without signings is a second-tier team. Even if they are the league champions, how strong can they be?
They couldn't accept the fact that Getafe led by two goals for a while.
Head coach Aragones doesn't have the kind of leisure to stand dumbfounded. There are at least fifteen minutes before the end of the game, not counting injury time.
He has to do something. Although it is very unfavorable to fall behind by two goals, you should not give up until the end of the game.
The method is very simple, that is, continue to attack Getafe's backcourt madly, and use anti-offside to break their offside trap.
The big deal is desperate and frenzied, and he doesn't believe that he can't get out of Getafe's offside trap at the last moment. Even if it is filled by people, this trap should be filled, right?
So when everyone else was beating their chests and stamping their feet, he called Captain Ngonga loudly and gave him instructions face to face.
Then Ngonga returned to the court with a solemn face, and conveyed the latest instructions of the head coach to the team.
Eto'o was eager to try after hearing it.
He naturally knows that Getafe's tactics are a good opportunity to give full play to his speed. But always falling into the offside trap makes him very unhappy.
Now he wants to repay this discomfort tenfold!
"Just pass the ball forward! I'm sure I can catch it!" the Cameroonian, who is very confident in his speed, said while clenching his fists.
※※※
Just as Mallorca was holding Ngonga to give face-to-face instructions, Chang Sheng was doing the same thing. He also stopped Luis Garcia, told him what the team should do next, and asked him to go up and tell his own teammates.
Luis Garcia didn't have any doubts about Chang Sheng's adjustment, turned around and ran back to the court.
Everyone has celebrated the goal and is running back. He went up.
"As I often say, we will play defensive counterattack next!"
Everyone froze for a moment, then understood. The coach is going to hold on to the victory.
The whole team adores Chang Sheng. Naturally, no one was talking nonsense, and they all nodded to express their understanding.
They are very familiar with defensive counterattacks, and they don't need special instructions from the coach.
You can turn if you say turn. This is much easier than their taka tactics.
After all, they have used this tactic for a season, and they are very proficient.
So when the game restarted and Mallorca was eagerly planning to break Getafe's offside trap with a fierce offensive, they found that there was no offside trap for them to break...
In front of them, the Getafe players who quickly recovered, they shrank in their own 30-meter area, leaving no room for Eto'o and Luke at all.
Looking back, even a center like Mista withdrew to the center circle and actively defended in the midfield.
This is different from their previous tactics!
I froze for a moment. Only then did they realize that Getafe was shrinking their defensive line, and they were going to play a defensive counterattack!
Yeah, they're two goals ahead, they really deserve to shrink the defense...
The problem is that they have shrunk their defenses, what should we do? !
A group of Mallorca players were stunned.
Aragones told them offside. How to reverse now?
※※※
Aragones was also stunned.
He really didn't expect Getafe to play taka for seventy-five minutes, and then suddenly defended and counterattacked, and he was resolute and decisive, not procrastinating at all...
He was shocked - it was a very correct and timely adjustment, knowing that there was a huge hole behind his defense that would be exploited by the opponent's anti-offside. So directly shrink the line of defense... Aren't you going to fight offside? I won't be offside! Let's see how you react!
A head coach who is not yet 30 years old, his on-the-spot command in the game is so decisive and sharp, it really makes Aragones wonder if his opponent is really under 30 years old...
Many professional players may not be able to have such a golf quotient at his age.
Only then did Aragones realize that he was facing a very difficult opponent in this final.
Unfortunately, when he realized this, it was a bit late.
Otherwise, he should have prepared more fully...
He should have thought that Chang Sheng would not sit still, and would definitely make some changes...
Now, Aragones is at a loss in the face of the stubborn Getafe.
This old coach who has been a coach in Spanish football for 27 years can't think of a way to restore the decline.
Everyone is playing defensive counterattack, so they must be very aware of the threat of defensive counterattack.
If Getafe played a full 90 minutes with his Mallorca on the counter-attack, he was confident that he could finish the opponent. But with only fifteen minutes left, Mallorca's morale was collapsing, and the opponent's defense at this time was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
※※※
Then Changsheng sent Charisteas, who had been declaring to be injured before, to replace Vicki, who was diligent in the game.
This made Mallorca's last hope of counterattack dashed.
After getting on Charisteas, Getafe recovered across the board, shrank in front of the door, and drove straight forward when they had the opportunity, just like Mallorca did against them. But unlike Mallorca, Charisteas is a center forward who can fight for the top in the frontcourt and control the football and wait for his teammates to come up to respond. He is different from Eto'o and Luke.
Mallorca lacks such people.
So Mallorca couldn't attack the chance. Getafe can.
If Mallorca does not want to lose more balls, they will have to spend more troops on defense, which will inevitably affect their investment in offense.
And if the investment is not enough, Eto'o, Luke, Ibagaza and others will be helpless in the face of Getafe's impregnable walls.
Everyone is a team that is good at defensive counterattacks. Getafe's defensive counterattacks have been very famous this season, and it is not for nothing. It is really difficult to break through their defense. And there is not enough time left for them...
Aragones watched this scene and sighed.
He thought that he had lost the final of the Copa del Rey.
He originally thought about being able to win the fifth Copa del Rey championship in his coaching career.
Unexpectedly, he lost to a young man who was thirty-three years younger than himself.
But look at what he did in this game. First, he used a new tactic that he hadn't thought of to take the lead, and then when he thought the new tactic was nothing more than that, he restrained himself from making adjustments again and again. From making offsides to pressing in the frontcourt, it gave him a headache.
Then, after taking a two-goal lead, he asked the team to immediately shrink the line of defense and switch to a defensive counterattack, completely blocking the way he planned to fight offside.
Let him do nothing.
Every step seems to count himself dead.
It's really scary.
Aragones looked at the bewildered players on the court, and stopped rushing to the sidelines to roar loudly.
The game was lost and there was nothing to struggle with.
※※※
When the game went to 86 minutes, the 15,000 Getafe fans in the stands had already started cheering. They all stood up from their seats, singing and dancing. Cheers to the team. There were also excited Getafe fans who lit fireworks and waved them in their hands, spreading the blue and red smoke.
Compared with the excited Getafe fans, the fans of Mallorca and Sevilla were much more silent.
Faced with such a score and game, they really don't know what to say. I thought it would be easy for Mallorca to beat Getafe. They came to this game with the mentality of an outing.
But who would have thought... From the first minute of the game, Mallorca never had an advantage! The whole game was controlled by Getafe, playing with it!
After finally scoring a goal, the opponent took the lead again in just ten minutes.
This game was really frustrating.
Now listening to the singing and cheering of those Getafe fans, I feel even more aggrieved.
※※※
When the game entered injury time, there was no one on Getafe's bench. They all came to the sidelines, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, staring excitedly at the field.
Just wait for the referee to blow his whistle.
In front of the coach's bench, Manuel Garcia couldn't wait to hug Chang Sheng to celebrate the victory.
This time, Chang Sheng didn't put a stern face on saying "the game is not over yet". He also accepted Manuel Garcia's congratulations with a smile.
Manuel Garcia made a start, and other coaches also came up to hug Chang Sheng.
Only Rudy Gonzalez was more reserved, this time it was Chang Sheng who laughed and pulled him into his arms with open arms.
"Now is the time to celebrate, Rudy!"
"Damn it, the game isn't over yet..." Rudy Gonzalez struggled, but he didn't break free.
"After the game is over, we may not be able to celebrate the victory like this!" Chang Sheng didn't care about him, hugged him hard, and patted his back hard, making Rudy Gonzalez grit his teeth Grinning.
But in his heart, he was also shocked by Chang Sheng's success.
A head coach who is under 30 years old and has only one season and nine league first-team coaching experience has led the team to the league championship and promotion, and now they have defeated the mighty Mallorca, won the Copa del Rey!
This is the most important trophy in the history of the Getafe club!
Compared with himself, Chang Sheng lacks experience and ability is not outstanding. But why was he able to succeed?
Maybe there are geniuses in this world? . . )
