Chapter 101 Reyes——! (11/136)
Chapter 101 Reyes——! (11/136)
When Reyes evaded Capdevila with a light movement, the stands immediately remembered the cheers of the Valencia fans.
More than 20 minutes before the first half, Valencia's attack on the right was almost paralyzed, because Capdevila's performance here was too eye-catching.
Now I didn't expect Reyes to get rid of him so beautifully, everyone naturally cheered louder, in order to disgust Capdevila.
The cheers fell into Reyes' ears. He thought it was the encouragement from the Valencia fans, so he was full of confidence, and the rhythm of dribbling was much smoother.
After Capdevila was breached, Deportivo's defense also reacted quickly.
But they didn't go up to force Reyes in the first place.
Instead, stick to the middle, vacate the side, and let Reyes take the ball.
Anyway, Reyes' performance in the previous cross was very average. Let a left-footed player pull to the right to make a cross. The players in Deportivo couldn't figure out what the head coach of Valencia was thinking.
Seeing the smooth road ahead, Reyes froze for a moment.
Why don't those people come up to defend themselves? Aren't they afraid of themselves?
But the next second when he saw who was sticking to his defense in the penalty area, he reacted.
They are leaving the wing empty for themselves, allowing themselves to take the ball to the bottom. At the same time, Capdevila is chasing back. Once he catches up with himself again, he will fall into the previous situation again.
And if they see Capdevila being breached and rush out, they may give him a chance instead.
This is clearly underestimating people!
Reyes is a bit shy and introverted, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, or that he doesn't have any youthful spirit.
He is also angry when the other party looks down on him so much. He wants to prove his ability in front of these people and let the other party know the mistakes they made. How ridiculous!
So he didn't continue to bottom, but suddenly buckled the football to the inside with his right foot, cutting inside!
The Deportivo players really didn't expect that Reyes would leave the empty wing and not break through the bottom,
Instead, he cut in and took the initiative to come to the door!
When Deportivo's central defender Naibet saw Reyes approaching the door, he naturally couldn't back down, so he went forward.
As a long-term main player in Deportivo and an experienced central defender, he has a set of experience in dealing with such balls.
That is, never step out and force Reyes outside.
As long as he is no longer in the penalty area, he is much less of a threat.
The experienced Naibet rushed up and defended closely, so that Reyes could not find a better breakthrough opportunity.
Reyes had no choice but to walk out under the push of Naibert.
It was originally intended to pierce the opponent's heart, but now it has turned into a knife on the other person's skin.
The degree of damage is totally different.
※ ※ ※
The Deportivo fans were relieved to see Reyes being forced out by the experienced Naibet. Capdevila, who returned to defense, was also relieved-if the ball was lost, it would be his own problem.
Last season's main left-back Romero is still watching from the bench at this time. Although I have temporarily robbed him of his main force, his foundation is not as strong as Romero's. If he is not careful, he may be squeezed out again.
In terms of fame and experience, Romero beat himself.
This season, taking advantage of Romero's injury, he became the main force. The position of the main force has not been warmed up yet, so he naturally refuses to give up like this.
Now that Reyes is squeezed out of the restricted area, this crisis is finally over...
He also let out a sigh of relief.
※ ※ ※
Ibrahimovic and Angulo saw that Reyes was squeezed out of the penalty area, and they began to run diagonally, hoping to cooperate with Reyes in a through cut.
But at this moment, Reyes didn't see them at all.
Because in the process of being kicked out of the penalty area by Naibet, Reyes suddenly thought of the gesture that Chang Sheng had waved before.
Maybe this is an opportunity for an inside shot?
As soon as this thought appeared, I couldn't hold it back anymore.
The idea of giving it a try grew stronger and stronger.
In the end, he ignored everyone and only had the goal in front of him.
Then he swung his left foot in a lateral dribble.
Reyes used his left foot to touch the ball many times in the lateral dribble, pushing the football away to avoid Naibet's steal.
So when he swung his left foot here, Naibet didn't take it too seriously.
At this time in world football, there are still very few left-wing players running to the right, or right-wing players running to the left, and then they only focus on the tactic of cutting inside.
Most of the time, left-footed players are on the left and right-footed players are on the right.
If you want to cut in to shoot the goal, it is also to cut in from the wing that you are good at, and hit the goal from a small angle.
It is not uncommon for players who are not good at football to play here exclusively for the purpose of cutting inside.
So even the experienced Naibet didn't think about what Reyes would do next...
※ ※ ※
Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Angulo are cutting and running. In order to hide, they dare not raise their hands to signal for the ball.
But Deportivo's experienced defense reacted anyway, pushing for offside.
Angulo ran offside, only to realize that the football was not passed.
He scolded Reyes in his heart, saying that he knew that he would not pass the football over! What a kindness! Can you look up at your surroundings when you're dribbling with your head down? It's useless for you to be so sideways with your ass!
He cursed and looked back at Reyes, but froze.
Because he saw Reyes kicking the football with his left foot!
With a bang, grass clippings splashed, and the football drew an arc, dragging a white afterimage, and flew towards the...far corner of the goal!
※ ※ ※
"Reyes——!!!"
Moen protracted his voice and shouted.
In his roar, the football bypassed goalkeeper Molina's ten fingers in the air and flew straight to the far post of the goal.
It didn't hit the post, it scraped it...and flew into the goal!
When the football rubbed against the net, Molina even heard the sound of friction between the high-speed rotating football and the net.
He didn't need to look back, he knew what the voice meant.
"Reyes - L!!!"
Moen took a short breath, then let out a loud roar.
And in his roar, the entire Mestalla turned into an erupting volcano!
※ ※ ※
Angulo, who was still slandering Reyes in his heart just now, immersed himself in dribbling the ball and didn't know how to pass the ball to himself. Seeing this scene, Angulo was stunned.
He maintained a weird posture, turning his head and looking at the football in the goal.
The ball... went in?
Valencia just took the lead at home?
He felt that his brain was not enough.
But soon the cheers from the stands woke him up.
So he didn't care about the fact that he was still cursing Reyes secretly before, he turned around and threw himself at Reyes with open arms.
"Boy, you did a great job!"
He yelled and rushed forward.
Like him there are other Valencia players.
They also flocked to Reyes who scored the goal, so that before Reyes could react, he was hugged by his teammates and pushed to the ground.
Everyone was roaring with their mouths wide open, venting their joy and excitement.
※ ※ ※
"Valencia took the lead at home! In the 31st minute of the game, Valencia 1:0!"
Chang Sheng rushed out from his seat with his arms raised high, then ran back, threw himself into the trap, and was hugged head-on by other coaches.
Being able to take a 1:0 lead at home shows that they have a good start.
And everyone can see the scenes of the previous game, and Valencia has the advantage. This goal is only a matter of time. They are full of confidence in the final victory of this game.
And there is another reason why Chang Sheng is so happy, and that is that Reyes' performance makes him gratified.
This kid... finally scored a goal!
※ ※ ※
"Reyes! Jose Antonio Reyes! This is his first official game goal for Valencia this season! Transferred to Valencia at the beginning of the season for $4 million Rencia, he plays as a substitute more often. But his goal in this game may open a new door for him!"
One of the boxes was filled with laughter and laughter.
That's the Reyes family.
"Well done, son!!" Reyes' father yelled.
And Reyes' mother began to recall how much Reyes' goal bonus was stipulated in the contract...
Reyes' agent was also happy. After all, the better Reyes performed, the easier it would be for him as an agent to make money.
It has been half a season since he came to Valencia, and Reyes is still blank in statistics, with no goals and no assists.
This kind of performance is worrying, worrying that he will not even be able to play as a substitute.
Well now, this goal of his is very beautiful.
With this goal, it can prove to some extent Reyes' strength and talent.
Now I hope Valencia can give him more opportunities.
It's not an option to always come off the bench...
Let Reyes move to Valencia, not to play as a substitute, and he must succeed here, otherwise he might as well stay in Seville.
※ ※ ※
When the football flew into the goal, Capdevila's relaxed expression disappeared.
He didn't expect Reyes, whom he underestimated, to be able to kick such a ball!
The ball bypassed the goalkeeper Molina with a large arc, and it was still within the range of the goal frame in the end...
Should that kid be lucky?
Or is it just bad luck...
Capdevila seemed to have seen Irueta's black face and Romero's sneer on the bench...
How could I be so unlucky?
No matter how outstanding your performance was before, no one will remember it. It only takes one mistake to be remembered forever!
That Reyes, why did he cut the shot inside all of a sudden?
Didn't he seem to have been squeezed out from the most dangerous position?
Seven years later, when Capdevila was playing the main force in the Spanish national team, he was used to frequent internal long shots from his teammates in the Spanish national team.
There are also many world waves born.
But in his mind, it was Reyes' kick that impressed him the most with this attacking method.
Because he discovered that putting a left-footed player on the right side, even if the cross fails, still has such a powerful power...
※ ※ ※
No matter how annoyed Capdevila was over there, no matter how ecstatic Reyes was.
It is true that Valencia led Deportivo 1-0 at home.
Irueta should seriously consider whether his team can still retreat from the Mestalla. (To be continued.
