Chapter 40 The Trial of Valencia(1/2)

※※※Real Madrid's home game against Valencia is the focus of this round of league. In today's La Liga football, it is not easy to find a team that is capable of posing a threat to Barcelona and Real Madrid. Valencia and Sevilla are among the few teams. However, Sevilla tends to go downhill, but Valencia rebounded instead.

After selling Villa and David Silva one after another, everyone thought Valencia could not make a comeback this time, but they did not expect that they performed well last season and eventually won the third place in the league and successfully entered the Champions League qualifiers.

The situation is also good after the start of this season. Three rounds of the league have passed, Valencia has won two wins and one draw, and remained unbeaten. Like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is one of the three teams that are still unbeaten to this day.

The other teams lost.

In this round of the league, two teams that have never lost have met. Real Madrid will never be willing to be tied by Valencia at home, so a victory or defeat must be decided in this game.

Real Madrid is in excellent condition now, and Valencia is not bad either.

The battle between the two strong men is naturally a focus battle that has attracted much attention.

In this game, Chu Zhongtian naturally started again.

Alonso sat on the bench. However, before the game, the media all got news that Alonso would come on as a substitute. There were only two suspense, one was how many minutes he could play on the court, and the other was who he would replace at that time.

The Bernabeu's huge voice cheers on the players, and Real Madrid is now pressing against Valencia.

In this game, Kaka started and squeezed Di Maria to the bench, with Ozil in the middle. During the game, Kaka and C. Ronaldo frequently switched positions.

Chu Zhongtian and Khedira were in the midfield and commanded the battle.

The starting striker is still Higuain, who started in the Champions League.

Although Benzema and Adebayo both work hard, the striker who starts in Real Madrid is still Higuain. Benzema's problem is that his condition is not stable enough. Sometimes he performs very well and can score twice in three consecutive games, but sometimes he is very bad. He doesn't score a goal in five consecutive games. What about Adebayo? He was originally bought as a supplement to Higuain and Benzema. In some special occasions, he has a great effect.

Currently, Real Madrid's main formation is 451, with only one forward at the front, so only one of the three forwards can be used, and the other two have to sit on the bench. If these three people are in good shape and are not injured, it will be a waste.

※※※Chu Zhongtian received the ball, and immediately a Valencia player rushed over. Chu Zhongtian didn't even have time to see who was coming, so he passed the football again.

He is not a player like C. Ronaldo, he never shows off his skills. If necessary, he can get rid of defense without being out of the way, then he is not a human being.

But the football was quickly passed back to him. Real Madrid had some trouble at his home court.

Valencia's pressing was very fierce. Even if Chu Zhongtian passed the football out, his teammates had no good idea. Almost as soon as he received the ball, the opponent's player forced him up.

Teams with good skills are afraid of such pressing, and Barcelona is no exception, so let alone Real Madrid.

Passing alone cannot break this defensive method.

A breakthrough must be made.

When it comes to breakthroughs, everyone will think of C. Ronaldo. However, Valencia's current defense against Ronaldo is very tight and he almost does not give him any room to break through. Ronaldo is not a player like Messi, and can quickly start and dribble in a very narrow space.

He needs a large enough space to allow him to take advantage of speed. If the space is too small, the power of his dribble will be greatly reduced.

Valencia knew the characteristics of C. Ronaldo very well, so she adopted the practice of restricting space to trap Ronaldo.

Of course c. Ronaldo can use frequent transposition to disrupt the opponent's defense line and look for opportunities. However, this takes time.

Therefore, it is unlikely to expect Ronaldo to use his fancy foot skills to disrupt Valencia's defense at the moment.

So how to do it?

Chu Zhongtian received the ball, and the opponent's player forced him up again.

Chu Zhongtian passed the football out again, and then ran forward by himself, wanting to cooperate with Khedira. The opponent did not pounce on Khedira, but followed Chu Zhongtian closely. Khedira had other people to "take care of".

Khdira passed the football again.

Chu Zhongtian did not stop the football directly this time. Facing the football passed by Khedira, he first stepped on it with his right foot and turned around and pulled it, then changed his left foot and pulled it again, and then turned the football out with the body of the opponent's defensive player!

"Oh--!!" A huge audacity suddenly erupted from the Bernabeu stands.

Even the commentator was shouting: "Oh oh oh oh! Beautiful! So beautiful! Marseille whirlpool!!"

When he saw Chu Zhongtian wearing a white Real Madrid jersey and making a Marseille spiral in front of Valencia's defensive players, many Real Madrid fans even stood up from their seats. Because what they saw seemed not Chu Zhongtian, but the retired Zidane... Chu Zhongtian, who had gotten rid of the defense, suddenly accelerated and rushed forward with the football.

After attracting more defensive players, he pushed the football out in a straight line. Kaka, who had been on the sideline, cut inside and received Chu Zhongtian's pass, and then he completed a shot. The football was pressed to the ground by Valencia's goalkeeper Cesar and did not form a goal.

Although the offense did not score a goal, it still won applause and cheers from Real Madrid fans.

Because Chu Zhongtian's unexpected sudden escape gave Real Madrid fans a beautiful enjoyment.

The TV broadcast specially replayed Chu Zhongtian's escape twice, and also gave Zidane a close-up shot on the rostrum. He smiled and applauded.

"Many people are regarded as Zidane's successor in Real Madrid, but I think only the No. 10 in front of me is the real successor! Look at his calm and elegant appearance, he really has a bit of the demeanor of Qi Zu back then!" The Spanish commentator praised this.

In fact, it is not completely unfounded to say that Chu Zhongtian is Zidane's successor, because he and Zidane have both received training from the same coach, and Fernandez can be regarded as the common mentor of him and Zidane. They both have the style and characteristics of French football.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian’s performance definitely did not end here.

When Valencia accepted an attack, they were quickly returning to defense, and Casillas had already kicked out the ball with his big feet. He was aiming at Chu Zhongtian in front.

The football flew from behind Chu Zhongtian. He stopped and turned to observe, which gave Valencia's midfielder Hua Jin a chance to come up to defend him. Hua Jin was going to jump up and compete for the top, but Chu Zhongtian turned around and ran forward. He jumped in a flash, and the football passed over his head and landed directly in front of Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian stretched out his right leg and stopped the football that fell to the front. The whole movement was very coherent, and even his speed and pace of running forward were not affected. The distance between the football and his body after it fell was very suitable. He made another kick and drifted the football directly.

Of course, his movement once again won cheers and applause from the Bernabeu stands.

Stop the ball is the most basic and important technique in football. Because not stopping the ball well will lead to many problems. Being able to stop the ball well means you can seize many fleeting opportunities. So everyone talks about Zidane's stopping technique. Master-level techniques do not mean that they need to use dazzling techniques to shake the opponent and the audience. A simple stopping can explain the problem.

Chu Zhongtian stopped the ball and led the football forward. He dribbled the ball along the side road. Although the speed was not fast, his stoppage saved him a lot of time, so Valencia's players could not catch up with him.

Only the full-backs were inserted from the inside and rushed to defend.

When he caught up, Chu Zhongtian stopped suddenly, dunked the football back, and then passed it directly to the middle.

Valencia's defense has been ripped off by him. There are many room for now. As long as you pass the football to the middle, whether it is a two-way side or a straight breakthrough from the middle and shot, it is fine.

That's not a problem he should worry about. As a team commander, he has done everything he should do.

Higuain received the ball in the middle. He acted to shoot, which attracted Valencia's defenders to concentrate on the middle, but he divided the football to the right side, where Kaka inserted at high speed and received the ball.

Kaka did not shoot directly, but made a fake shot and then suddenly passed the football. The football crossed the heads of Higuain and the central defender who followed in the middle and fell directly to the back point.

"Cristiano Ronaldo—"

The Portuguese jumped high and rushed to the top!

Football enters the Internet with a sound!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”

"The ball has entered! Real Madrid took the lead at their home court! It was only the 16th minute! Although Valencia seemed aggressive before the game, she was bound to win the game! But Real Madrid's strength is unquestionable!"

"This is Ronaldo's third goal in the league this season! Two Champions League goals and three league goals. He is in very good shape now!"

"Ronaldo-!!" A huge cheer came from the Bernabeu stand.c. Ronaldo is very arrogant and annoying. But when he came to Real Madrid, he immediately won the support of Bernabeu fans with his goals and a very professional attitude towards playing games. Now he is the most popular star in Real Madrid and the well-deserved number one star in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleships.

He Ping, the Chinese commentator who was responsible for commenting on this game, focused more on Chu Zhongtian. He praised Chu Zhongtian's stopping: "This is a master-level stop! It's so beautiful! The football flying from behind has great strength. Facing such a difficult ball to stop, he turned his back to the ball and didn't look at it at all. He just stretched out his right foot and stopped the football steadily. Don't underestimate this stopping. Valencia's defense line behind him was too late to organize, so he could only retreat hastily, all because of this efficient stop-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-batting-

※※Although the goal was C. Ronaldo, insiders could see who had the greatest contribution in the entire attack and who was the most critical link. Obviously, it was Chu Zhongtian.

Even Mourinho, who was applauding C. Ronaldo's goal, and assistant coach Karank believed that Chu Zhongtian was the most critical figure.

"Chu's entry into the state is quite fast today, and he is in good condition..." Kalanka said.

Mourinho laughed: "I think he feels the pressure."

Kalanca laughed at the media's speculation about who Alonso would replace if he came on as a substitute in the past few days.

This is the healthy competition Mourinho has always wanted...※※※After the game, the situation will be opened. Valencia must put more energy into the offense while pressing against Real Madrid, otherwise they will have to accept the defeat.

Once they come out to attack, there will be more space behind them. With Real Madrid's offensive strength, it is very simple to think about scoring a goal.

Many teams think that they can play the game after leading, because of this.

On the surface, Valencia seems to have not changed much, but as long as you are careful, you can find that Valencia has significantly increased in direct passes while pressing.

This is a performance that they are eager to attack but have no good solutions. If they are organized and planned, there will not be so many straight passes.

In defense, Chu Zhongtian basically did not press close to the body. He just stuck the position and forced the opponent to transfer the attack to the wing. Once he reached the wing, it would be much easier for the defensive players to deal with. If the opponent was obsessed with it and wanted to play the middle, then wait for the football to be intercepted... Valencia lacked organization, and their counterattack in the midfield was quickly suppressed by Chu Zhongtian and others. Real Madrid did not use defense to stop Valencia's counterattack, but used the offense. He used a sharper and more powerful attack to knock Valencia's counterattack back.

Just in the fifth minute after they conceded the ball, Chu Zhongtian made a long pass in the midfield and found behind Valencia's defense line. Higuain caught the ball without being offside, forming a one-on-one strike.

If Cesar hadn't performed bravely, Real Madrid would have expanded the score again.

Cesar once played for Real Madrid, but since he was injured in the 2002 Champions League final, he has completely become a substitute for Casillas. Later, in order to get a chance to play, he finally left Real Madrid. Now seeing him blocking Real Madrid's shot so hard, Real Madrid fans also booed.

Chu Zhongtian's long pass scared Valencia's players, as if it was a reminder, reminding them not to forget the gap behind them because of the attack. So Valencia quickly retreated after a few minutes of counterattack. They planned to guard until the halftime break. As long as they could maintain this score and enter the locker room and the head coach adjusted, they should still have hope.

※※※ Mourinho certainly knew what Valencia was going to do. He stood up from the coach's seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted Chu Zhongtian's name: "Chu! Chu!!"

In fact, in a noisy environment, it is unlikely that Chu Zhongtian would hear the head coach calling him, unless he looked over, the head coach usually had gestures. But just now, when Mourinho walked to the sidelines and leaned over to make a call, the Bernabeu stadium, which was already very noisy, suddenly became quiet, and the noise was obviously low.

So Chu Zhongtian clearly heard two "Chu".

In Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian is known as the "Supreme Emperor" of this team. However, in Real Madrid, there is only one real king, that is Mourinho. He did nothing. The fans just stopped making noise when they saw him want to shout, giving Mourinho a quiet environment.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Mourinho.

Mourinho gestured at him and shouted, "You know what to do!"

Chu Zhongtian nodded. He really knew what to do.

Intensify the offense, strive to score another goal in the first half, completely destroy Valencia's idea of ​​turning the tables in the second half.

He looked up at the big screen in the stands. It was twenty minutes before the end of the first half.

Organize a successful offense and then send the football into the opponent's goal. This time should be enough.

Valencia could not shrank out, and they rarely attacked. When attacking, they were careful like an assassin following the target to sneak attack. As long as there was a slight turmoil, they would immediately retreat to the darkness and wait patiently for the next chance.
To be continued...
