Chapter 336 Xu Qi's Creativity
Tottenham Hotspur is also making adjustments. Although Valencia has pushed out now, they are not afraid of Valencia.
Valencia's goal was just a mistake and was scored, so they were still confident to hold it.
The defense can be defended, but there is a problem at the counterattack point that Tottenham relies most.
The biggest counterattack point is naturally Van der Fate. Tottenham's counterattack relies heavily on Van der Fate's pass, but now Van der Fate has been completely frozen.
He conceded goals frequently now, and it is difficult for him to give the team a very good pass.
So, at this time, Old Redknapp also made a substitution at this time.
Replace Van der Fate and Robbie Keane.
However, after replacing Van der Fate, Tottenham's midfielder seemed a little unresistible. Then Lao Lei made another substitution adjustment, replaced Lennon, who was very active on the right, and replaced Palacios.
This has strengthened the hardness of the defense again.
In fact, this adjustment was a necessity for Tottenham to make an adjustment after the midfield completely lost control. Although Tottenham is committed to playing defensive counterattacks, this does not mean that they will completely give up the midfield to Valencia. It is also very necessary to appropriately press and compress Valencia's pass control space.
Now, the only main counterattack point for Tottenham is Bale.
Robbie Keane and Crouch are both looking for opportunities on the front line, allowing Bale to create opportunities with his speed and assault.
Tottenham's playing style has become a bit simple now, but it should be very practical.
Of course, the premise is that Bale can show his ability. A year and a half ago, Xu Qi knew that Bale was extremely fast and was the kind of player who could drive the ball and go one-stop from the wing.
Now, Xu Qi is more aware of Bell's ability. He has improved a lot more than a year and a half ago.
However, Xu Qi had nothing to worry about, because he had made more progress!
Emery's second substitution adjustment was to replace Mata and Domingos.
This is also a signal to strengthen the attack.
The young coach Emery looked like he was planning and only changed to Mata at this time. Emery naturally had his own considerations.
Originally, Valencia's offense was actually based on Xu Qi's personal ability to attack. After Mata appeared, he had a richer offensive routine.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Mata had just been replaced, and he created an opportunity for Soldado. Soldado's shot in front of the goal finally hit the post!
"Pule! Soldado's luck was a little worse. After Mata came up, Valencia's offense indeed strengthened a lot."
As time goes by, Valencia continues to control the midfield's ball and appears to be more proactive.
Tottenham's counterattack was actually only Bale. Although Bale was very fast, when Valencia knew that the opponent was relying on Bale's breakthrough, it was not that difficult to resist.
Soon, under Emery's arrangement, Valencia's two wings had already done a very good job of limiting the counterattack against Tottenham.
Therefore, players can also be more bold in participating in the offense.
However, Valencia's final goal was not here yet. When it was almost 80 minutes, Emery made the third substitution adjustment.
He replaced Tino Costa and Fernandez.
The game was in a state of anxiety, as if the score of one to one was about to end like this.
Old Redknapp and Emery were in the command area, both directing the team expressionlessly.
When the game reached the 86th minute, the detonation of the entire Mestalia Stadium finally happened!
In fact, the player who planned this goal was Xu Qi!
After Xu Qi took the ball in the middle, he moved to the position close to the left, and then began to dribble the ball horizontally, leading it from the left to the middle.
Xu Qi, who had a broad vision, quickly discovered Soldado who was actively moving forward. So Xu Qi pushed the ball directly with the inside of his foot, and the ball rolled into the penalty area. Then Soldado succeeded in the offside and ran out a chance to have a single shot.
Although Soldado won a single shot, it was difficult for him to shoot directly at his current position, and Coutinic had already attacked at this time. In a hurry, he could only hit the ball. Just so happened that a white No. 10 figure appeared beside him.
Soldado directly pushed the ball horizontally and pushed the ball to Mata.
Then, Mata, who had become the core of Valencia at a young age, also pushed the ball and shot!
The ball came into the net!
The Mestalia Stadium really detonated!
Emery's magical substitution was confirmed, and Mata scored and scored after coming on as a substitute, contributing to the team!
The moment Mata pushed the ball in, Emery himself raised his arms high and seemed extremely excited.
His substitution adjustments have achieved miraculous results.
But the most important thing is Xu Qi's planning, which made Xu Qi's straight pass torn the Tottenham's defense line.
Old Redknapp seemed quite atmospheric. He was pushed directly by the opponent with three passes and two passes, which was really an inappropriate way to conceal the ball.
However, Xu Qi's deterrence is indeed great. His dribbling in the middle just now made Tottenham players afraid that Xu Qi would shoot directly and throw the ball into the far corner of the goal, so they pressed forward to block Xu Qi's shooting line. However, they would not have thought that Xu Qi would actually send a direct pass to his teammates.
I have to admit that Xu Qi's creativity in passing is already quite good now.
Two to one.
Mata also hugged Xu Qi, Juan Mata and Xu Qi, the best among the two Valencia young players, showed their talents at this time.
Xu Qi and Mata each scored a goal, helping the team reverse Tottenham Hotspur at home.
At this time, the game is about to end.
In the following time, Tottenham did make some counterattacks, but their counterattacks were not successful. Valencia finally won the game 2-1, winning three-pointers that were extremely critical to the group qualifying.
At the end of the game, the Tottenham players were naturally very disappointed.
But in fact, they don’t have to be disappointed, because even Barcelona and Real Madrid often suffer defeats in Mestalia.
Although Valencia is low-key, she has always been a powerful player with extraordinary strength!
In this game, Xu Qi was selected as the best player in this game. In fact, Xu Qi felt that his performance was not very outstanding, but even so, the two most critical goals in Valencia were all related to him.
Moreover, Xu Qi's running distance in this game is also among the top three in the team. His running distance in this game has exceeded 12,000 meters.
Even with such a running distance, Xu Qi showed no signs of cramping until the end of the game, which is enough to show that Xu Qi's physical functions and physical fitness have now reached a higher level as a professional player.
