Chapter 833 Defensive Traps
At the end of the first half, Lin Yu was not in a very good mood. Although the team equalized the score, he never truly defeated the joint defense of Vidic and Mathieu from beginning to end. This made
He felt very sorry.
On the other side, Vidic also felt unhappy because although he blocked many of Lin Yu's shots and defended many of Lin Yu's breakthroughs, in the end, he still failed to prevent the loss of the ball, the own goal.
, Although his teammates were at fault, in his opinion, if he could directly stop Lin Yu instead of being forced by Lin Yu, maybe the own goal would not have occurred.
Head coach Pellegrino touched Vidic's head and said with a smile: "Well done, I hope to keep up the good work."
"But we still lost the ball in the end." Vidic sighed.
"There is really nothing you can do about that ball. You don't have to blame yourself. What's more, it's not your fault. As long as you continue to play like this in the second half, I believe that Lin Yu will definitely be deflated. This is the first time I have seen him play.
It was so uncomfortable to play." Although Pellegrino also felt that conceding the goal at the last moment was a bit regretful, today's first half of the game has already shown the morale and fighting spirit of Valencia. I believe that in the second half, his team's performance will be better
better.
…
In the locker room, Zidane is analyzing and summarizing the first half of the game and arranging tactics and strategies for the second half.
He mentioned that Lin Yu should move back to avoid a head-on collision with Vidic, so that he might get more opportunities. Of course, he also said that he hoped that the players could put forward their own opinions or suggestions, as long as
If he thinks it makes sense, then accept it.
Lin Yu stood up immediately. He didn't explain anything. He just gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, give me another twenty minutes. If I still can't defeat Vidic in these twenty minutes, I can't really win."
A goal, no matter how you arrange it, there is no problem in substituting me."
When he said this, Zidane knew that Lin Yu's fighting spirit was really up. He didn't say it for five minutes. He didn't say it for ten minutes, but for twenty minutes. This showed that Lin Yu himself had also considered this matter.
The difficulty of it, decided to give it a little more time.
Zidane thought for a while, and if Lin Yu was allowed to retreat, he might be able to prevent Lin Yu from being targeted by Vidic. However, if Lin Yu wanted to attack, he would inevitably have to get close to the hinterland of Valencia's penalty area, and he would still have to fight with
Vidic faced off. Rather than letting Lin Yu retreat unhappily, it was better to follow his wishes. In fact, Zidane also wanted to see how capable Lin Yu was. When formulating tactics in the future,
It might as well be a reference.
Although he basically sat on the sidelines and watched the Real Madrid games in the last two seasons, he was also very clear about Lin Yu's performance. But speaking of one season, Lin Yu performed well last season. This season may not be the same.
His performance is good, so he must be more realistic. As a head coach, he cannot be careless at all.
…
In the Valencia dressing room, Pellegrino did not forget to praise Vidic, Mathieu and goal hero Hernandez in front of all the players. He hoped that his players could pay tribute to these players.
The three of them learn, especially from Vidic and Hernandez, to defend well when it is time to defend and to attack boldly when it is time to attack.
He didn't think that his two words of praise would make his players feel happy. After all, the opponent he faced this time was Real Madrid, and the famous Lin Yu.
Pellegrino also carefully observed Lin Yu's expression. He found that Lin Yu's face was uncertain after he came off the field, and he felt a little happy.
He felt that Lin Yu was a human being after all, and he was still a young man. When encountering setbacks, he would be anxious, unhappy, and aggressive. This was exactly what he wanted to see. How much he hoped that Lin Yu could
He has been fighting with Vidic all the time. In that case, even if the game is over, Lin Yu may not be able to score again.
In his opinion, Lin Yu's career as a player is too smooth. Once such a player encounters setbacks, he will fall into despair.
…
Pellegrino could see that Lin Yu was over the top, and of course Zidane could see it too, so after arranging the tactics and strategies for the second half, he called Lin Yu out of the locker room and wanted to talk face to face.
Talk.
To be honest, Lin Yu failed to pass the ball several times in the first half. As a teammate and friend, Cristiano Ronaldo was a little dissatisfied, but he could understand Lin Yu's current psychology because he had done this before.
Once you get into a fight with someone, you can't stay calm.
Moreover, it is useless for anyone to persuade Lin Yu in this state. The head coach must give him a heads-up and wake him up, which is the most effective.
Hearing Zidane call Lin Yu out, Cristiano Ronaldo also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his good friend getting into trouble, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Outside the locker room, before Zidane could speak, Lin Yu spoke first: "Coach, I know what you want to say, but... I still say the same thing, just give me another twenty minutes. As for the reason, I am now
There is no point in saying more. If I can't score a goal, my excuse is nonsense."
Zidane really didn't expect that Lin Yu would block his mouth as soon as he came out. If he forced Lin Yu to give up the confrontation with Vidic, it would obviously be unwise. It would not only affect Lin Yu's
Mood can also cause Lin Yu's fighting spirit to drop.
After touching his chin and thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Lin Yu, I just want you to know that the team's victory is always greater than personal honor. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, coach. I have always put the interests of the team first since the day I played football! Of course I understand that my personal honor is also due to the support of my teammates." Lin Yu indeed did not.
He was confused and did not get into trouble as the two coaches thought. He is now very calm and rational.
"Well, as long as you can think like this, it will be fine. I always believe in your ability. Go ahead and rest for a while. Then let me see the omnipotent Lin Yu in the second half!" Zidane smiled and patted
Putting his hand on Lin Yu's shoulder, he said.
Lin Yu nodded, then opened the door and walked into the locker room.
Cristiano Ronaldo was really surprised when he saw Lin Yu entering the door. He thought that Zidane and Lin Yu had a long meeting. But who would have thought that it ended not long after they left. Was it already settled? Or was it?
It is said that two people have serious differences. Are they in conflict?
Discord between generals is the most troublesome thing. If Zidane and Lin Yu have a conflict, then today's game will really be in doubt.
But surprisingly, he did not see any anger, or even grievance, or dissatisfaction on Lin Yu's face. Instead, what he saw was determination and excitement.
"What's going on? Did the coach train you?" Cristiano Ronaldo asked tentatively.
"You also think my performance in the first half was not good?" Lin Yu asked.
"I just think you are a bit lonely..."
"Well, you should cooperate with me more in the second half. He has Mathieu next to Vidic, and I have you, a Portuguese superstar, beside me. No worse than them!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"You figured it out?"
"That's right, I figured it out. There are many ways to defeat Vidic. Why should I insist on rushing alone? Isn't it better to score a few more goals than passing him?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's right. Isn't he defending you just to prevent you from scoring? As long as you can score, then he loses!" Cristiano Ronaldo said with a smile.
Lin Yu nodded. Then he closed his eyes slightly. He wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while. Although he thought that his behavior in competing with Vidic was not overkill, the method of competing was too simple and stupid. On the surface, it seemed
It was a duel between himself and Vidic. In fact, he
When he broke through with the ball, he was against Valencia's entire defense. Instead of one or two people, that was really stupid. He needs to think carefully now about what to do in the second half. Either way.
With victory, he can defeat Vidic and Hernandez in this duel.
…
After the start of the second half of the game, Lin Yu really changed his previous approach of working alone. He mostly cooperated with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale, but in the cooperation, he obviously acted as a scheduler and terminator.
, the entire cooperation was planned by him, so the cooperation between these three people seemed to be seamless, without the slightest disharmony.
After all, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale are both good friends of Lin Yu. These two people can really understand Lin Yu. The three of them usually stay for training, and they have long had the feeling of not having to talk.
A tacit understanding that can be achieved without even using eye cues is the highest level of cooperation.
When encountering Vidic's blocking and stealing, Lin Yu would still choose to break through immediately. However, after the strong break, his second choice was no longer to continue to control the ball, but to cooperate with two good friends.
This prevented him from having to use difficult passing moves. In the end, although he passed Vidic, the ball was snatched away by Mathieu or other players.
Seeing Lin Yu like this, the commentators' eyes lit up, thinking that Lin Yu, who fell into the opponent's defensive trap in the first half and faced four or five people by himself, finally figured it out?
Could it be that Zidane said something during the halftime break? When did Zidane become so persuasive?
"Not bad, not bad. At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid's frontcourt cooperation was obviously smoother. It was not like Lin Yu's work alone after 20 minutes in the first half, nor was it like the excessive frontcourt 20 minutes ago.
Instead of reverse kicking, it is a more concise cooperation, which appears smoother and more tacit!"
"Zidane is not simple. I'm sure he must have said something to Lin Yu during the halftime break, but I didn't expect that Lin Yu would actually listen to him. Does Zidane really have any special tricks?"
"Vidic was under great pressure. His defense against Lin Yu in the first half could be said to be successful, but in the second half, the situation seemed not as good as before. Lin Yu changed the way he played, and his defensive
Naturally, the pressure has increased a lot, and it is really troublesome for him now."
"No matter what, we all have to praise Vidic. Although he is old, he is still so good. Manchester United will really regret letting him go, and he will definitely find his second spring in La Liga. Come on
,veteran!"
"And Hernandez, even if the team can't win today, his goal can help Valencia get a more satisfying draw."
Many people have the mentality of sympathizing with the weak, and the media is no exception, so they very much hope that Hernandez and Vidic can bring a victory to Valencia, even if they cannot win, even if they take away a draw
, and it definitely slapped Real Madrid hard and slapped Lin Yu hard on the face. They like to see that scene the most.
Although praised by the media and commentators, Vidic and Hernandez are not as relaxed as they were in the first half.
In the second half, after some adjustments, Real Madrid gradually found out its home advantage. The defense did not make so many mistakes. Modric and Casemiro cooperated better. In the frontcourt, Lin Yu
No longer going all the way to the dark side, but tacit cooperation with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale. Even just one or two passes can put huge pressure on Valencia's defense. (To be continued.
