From the beginning of the game, Pavin was in a very nervous state.
Although in fact, Valencia's offense has never penetrated deep into his area. Many times, after testing it in other places, it retreated.
But he was still very nervous. And this nervousness was accumulating little by little as time went by.
This was his first first-team game, and he didn't expect it to be the opening game of La Liga. It was highly anticipated, and it was broadcast live to the whole country, and the opponent was a strong team like Valencia.
He didn't know whether to say that happiness came too quickly or that he felt overwhelmed.
When Aimar suddenly passed the football to his side, his heart skipped a beat.
What was supposed to come finally came...
After Ibrahimovic received the ball, he stepped forward to defend.
He thinks that if the opponent is tall, he must be a powerful center.
Is it okay for you to fight him physically?
Pavin is still somewhat confident about his body.
When he thought of this, his manic heart calmed down a little.
※ ※ ※
[Golden Eyes] After upgrading to the second level, you can see the attributes of non-team players, but the attributes you can see are limited, and the specific attributes you can see are random.
However, this does not prevent Chang Sheng from projecting the [Golden Eyes] onto Pavin.
Sure enough, it was random, with no rules at all. What he saw at a glance were the following attributes: [Crossing], [Dribbling], [Shooting], [Running without the ball], [Speed], [Strength]
,【Work Engagement】.
Most of them are not a test of a centre-back’s abilities…
His [Power] is the highest among them, reaching eighty-eight.
Such outstanding power made Chang Sheng frown.
If Pavin uses strength to deal with Ibrahimovic, he really can't say who will win...
Because Ibrahimovic's [Strength] is only a pitiful fifty-five. Although he looks very tall, in fact he is definitely not that kind of powerful forward. At only nineteen years old, his physical fitness has not yet taken shape.
.
But then, he saw why Ibrahimovic could become a world-class striker in the future, while Pavin would gradually sink...
Facing Pavin's aggressive press, Ibrahimovic calmly and casually flicked the football to the side with his right foot, and then he jumped up and dodged to the side.
Just then Parvin bumped into him.
He put his hands on Pavin's shoulders, taking advantage of the situation to avoid Pavin's pressing, and also helped him regain control of the football.
This extraordinary move is very ordinary, not even a textbook example.
But it works very well.
This is the best expression of a player's inspiration - who stipulates that if you pass someone, you must use a bicycle, a fake shot, a real dunk, and fried meatballs?
A simple ball move. As long as the timing is good, it can also have the effect of defeating the opponent!
※ ※ ※
Pavin didn't expect that he would be dodged so easily.
That big man has agility that is completely inconsistent with his body shape!
Seeing this scene, Chang Sheng smiled. Ibrahimovic's flexibility is sixty-nine!
For a big man who is 1.9 meters tall, such flexibility is very good. And he is only nineteen years old!
Compared with Ibrahimovic, Pavin is much less flexible.
When he turned around, Ibrahimovic had already rushed into the penalty area.
Fortunately, Hierro filled in in time and interfered with his shot. His shot flew directly into the sky.
When Pavin turned around and saw this scene, his heart was beating wildly, and he felt like he was surviving a disaster.
If Ibrahimovic scores this goal... isn't that his own responsibility?
As a central defender, he allowed the opponent to break through so easily...
Hierro originally wanted to scold Pavin loudly and tell him to be careful next time.
But when he raised his head and saw Pavin's panicked expression, he couldn't even speak out even though he was scolding him.
He suddenly remembered that this was actually a young man participating in a first-team game for the first time...
He lacks experience and has not adapted to the game...this is normal.
Forget it. Just be more tolerant...
So he said nothing.
※ ※ ※
The ball didn't go in, and Ibrahimovic was a little upset.
But Chang Sheng applauded him from the audience: "Well done, Ibrahimovic! Just do it!"
Everyone calls Ibrahimovic "Zhelatan", but Chang Sheng insists on calling him "Ibrahimovic" because he himself is familiar with the name, so this becomes Chang Sheng for Ibrahimovic.
New nickname.
Ibrahimovic didn't hear the shouts of victory because the Mestalla stadium was drowned out by the huge shouts of the Valencia fans when he shot.
He lowered his head and ran back, preparing for a second attack.
With the experience of this attack, he fully realized how unreliable that Pavin was...
It's not just Ibrahimovic.
When the Swede easily broke through Pavin, other Valencia players' eyes lit up.
They thought about what Chang Sheng said to them before the game.
This Pavon seems to be a weakness of Real Madrid...
When Florentino first compared Pavin with Zidane, the media in Madrid hyped Pavin wildly and touted him as the mainstay of the Spanish national team's defense for the next ten years. Everyone expected Pavin to be on the front line.
The team should learn from Hierro so that he can take over Hierro's class in the future, whether in Real Madrid or the Spanish national team.
So Parveen's recent reputation is very high.
Overnight, he went from a young talent with ordinary talent to a future superstar...
Many people who don't know the truth think that Pavin really has that ability.
Otherwise, if there were so many people in Real Madrid's youth team, why would Florentino choose Pavin?
But now it seems that Pavin is nothing more than that!
Valencia's players are full of confidence in winning this game.
As long as they continue to attack Pavon, I believe they will soon open the door to victory!
※ ※ ※
In the next game, Valencia consciously attacked Pavin's point.
They used the frequent passing and running in the midfield to mobilize the defense of Makelele and Helguera again and again. Even if it was just for a moment, they passed the football.
Pass to Mendieta or Ibrahimovic.
Let them attack Parveen.
Then Parveen fell into a hellish bombardment.
He was completely unprepared for this.
He seemed at a loss as the opponent made breakthroughs again and again, not knowing what to do.
Not even half of the level of contact that I usually have in training can be achieved.
Facing the young and energetic Ibrahimovic, he was fooled by the opponent's flexible body and excellent footwork. Facing the experienced Mendieta, he was naturally overwhelmed in terms of experience.
Even people who don't understand football can see how embarrassed Pavin is now after watching this scene.
Del Bosque watched from the sidelines with his brows furrowed.
He also didn't expect that Pavin's performance would be so miserable.
Although he also felt that Florentino's "Zippa policy" was a bit unscrupulous, he still had great confidence in Pavin.
After all, Pavin has always been the main center back in the B team.
His performance in the B team was outstanding. This is a player who is destined to play in the first team, it is just a little early, but the result is always the same...
So although Florentino asked him to play Pavin in this game, it disrupted his plan.
But he still followed Florentino's request and let Pavin play.
He felt that this should not bring any big changes to the game.
Besides, Pavin also has Hierro by his side. No matter how you think about it, there shouldn't be any problems.
But he didn't expect that something would really go wrong.
※ ※ ※
Hierro also discovered that Pavin could not survive alone.
Valencia obviously went for Pavon.
Although I don't understand how they thought of targeting Pavin, their attack was very successful.
It seemed that Parvin could no longer hold on any longer.
He had to abandon his defensive zone and come up to help Pavin.
But as a result, there was an undue space behind him...
Considering Aimar's ability, it is very easy for him to find this kind of opening.
So when they started to attack again, Hierro stepped forward to help Pavin defend Ibrahimovic who had the ball.
Aimar immediately shouted from behind: "Pass the ball to me!"
He shouted in Spanish, which Ibrahimovic couldn't understand at all. But this did not prevent Ibrahimovic from understanding what he meant.
Because he also saw the space. But in his current situation, he couldn't pass the football very well. It was a good choice to pass the ball back to Aimar.
So he quickly passed the football back.
Aimar didn't catch the ball and pushed the football directly. The football rolled forward again. It happened to pass by Hierro, and Hierro didn't even try to stop it!
The football rolled into the open area left by him after coming up.
And Mendieta appeared in that position!
"Beautiful!! Aimar's direct pass! Beautiful! Mendieta's movement!" Commentator Moen couldn't help but cheer loudly.
It’s really a good time to seize this opportunity!
Not only did the football pass, but most importantly, the people also arrived.
Mendieta received the ball and happened to be in the penalty area.
And there is not a single Real Madrid player beside him!
Even Mendieta himself was stunned at this moment.
He didn't expect that he would get a chance to face the goal so easily.
The other Real Madrid players were also stunned - they didn't expect that the opponent would appear in the open space so easily.
Mendieta is always an experienced player, and he reacted immediately, regardless of how he got this opportunity easily.
The most important thing now is...shooting!
He raised his foot and shot vigorously!
The football was blasted away by him like a cannonball.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Cesar made a fierce save.
He opened his arms and stretched his body as far as possible in the air.
It's a pity that he couldn't save the ball.
The football drew an arc in the air and got into the net with a very tricky attitude!
