Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 719

"In the past 10 minutes, the two sides frequently exchanged possession of the ball, and the rhythm was intermittent."

"Manchester City is adapting to Valencia's interception and defense style, which is completely different from the Premier League."

"Valencia."

"Also lost the ball frequently under Manchester City's high-pressure confrontation defense!"

"But both teams did a very good job in attack and defense conversion."

"All players returned to defense as soon as the ball was lost."

"There was no chance for one side to quickly counterattack and send the ball to their own goal in an instant like at the beginning of the game."

"To be honest."

"Valencia's performance today was so good that it was a bit beyond my expectations! You know, since the start of the new La Liga season, their performance has been very poor, temporarily ranking tenth in La Liga..."

"But now they can play back and forth with Manchester City!"

-【The Bats played really well today. I have been watching La Liga games. For example, the game against Osasuna at the end of September was beaten 4:2. It was really ugly. Today it was like two teams! 】

-【It can only be said that Manchester City had a great time beating weak teams in recent games, and their form has been down. They have been playing against relegation teams and the English Championship. The intensity is not enough and they have not been able to maintain a good form. 】

-【Yes, take it slow. At least the counterattack at the beginning was held and no goals were lost. As long as they don't concede goals, they can take it slow on the offensive end and adapt. 】

-【Mandzukic's running position is hard to see... too young... Valencia came to one-on-one defense, and I don't know where to run, like a headless fly...】

....................................................

Not only the commentators and fans were surprised by Valencia's form today, but Flores, the head coach, did not expect it either!

Although!

Flores made a bold statement of "paralyzing himself" at the pre-match press conference, but he could always clearly feel that there was a problem within the team and he had lost control of the players.

But!

When it came to the actual game, the players perfectly executed the offensive and defensive tactics he arranged before the game, as well as the details on the defensive end.

Flores was a little excited.

This situation shows that although the players are not convinced by themselves now, they still do not choose to play badly in the new season, and they still have a competitive spirit!

Competitiveness is very important for this Valencia, because this Valencia has no lack of talent, but lacks the kind of unity and desire to win.

Opportunity!

If they continue to play like this, the team will have a chance today!

Flores was delighted.

Not far away.

Guardiola scratched his bald head again, and looked up at the timer on the big screen from time to time.

The Spanish coach was a little anxious.

The main problem.

It was that Mandzukic, who was scheduled to start today, played very badly as the central forward of this starting lineup.

He did not play the pulling ability he should have.

Guardiola turned around and looked at Balotelli, who was sitting on the bench behind him and looking at him eagerly.

................................................

Time is like quicksand between fingers.

Can't hold it.

Another 20 minutes passed, and the two teams made no progress except for a few insignificant shots and shots that were too angled, weak, and easily caught by the opponent's goalkeeper.

30th minute of the game, 0:0.

Valencia was not in a hurry. In this game, they were originally the weak ones who were infinitely underestimated by the outside world. This group of players, mostly composed of Spanish internationals, performed as well as they did in their peak period today, especially on the defensive end.

On the Manchester City side, the players' state, as the fans saw, was really average. Continuous multi-threaded operations still had some impact on the players' state.

As for Su Fei.

Today, he played like a monster that can't stop running. He almost never stopped after the kick-off. He kept running back and forth in the middle, participating in the offense while also retreating to participate in the defense.

"Su Fei played a bit like B2B today!"

"Teacher Zhan Jun, what do you think?"

"Tao'er, I think it is. Su Fei's tactical role positioning today is different from the previous games."

"Let me explain to the fans in front of the TV that the translation of B2B midfield is Box-to-Box,Specifically refers to those all-around midfielders who have a wide range of activities and can cover from their own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area! "

"In short."

"It is like being both a father and a mother. The team's offense is indispensable to him, and defense also needs him!"

"But this will consume too much of Su Fei's physical strength."

"I'm really afraid that Su Fei won't be able to hold on later."

"Manchester City has been slow to get back on track, and suddenly collapsed. ”

-【Hahaha, it has to be Wang Tao, who is concise and to the point. What English word did teacher Zhan Jun say just now, Bucks bald Bucks, I am really confused.】

-【Manchester City's style is indeed a bit difficult to play in La Liga. Last season, they played against Barcelona in the Champions League. If it weren't for Su Fei's outbreak and the Etihad miracle, there would be no Champions League champions later....】

-【Don't panic, I think you just watched Manchester City bully the weaker teams too much recently. This is the Champions League, how can it be the same? Valencia is really not weak. After all, they also fought for the Champions League quota in La Liga.】

-【I agree with the above point of view. If Manchester City wins 4:0 and 3:0 every time, there is really no need to play in the Champions League. After the group stage of the Big Ear Cup, it should be awarded directly to Manchester City. Haha.】

...................................................................

When the game time came to the last minute of injury time.

"Beep! "Beep——"

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the score was still 0:0!

Pa pa pa pa!

The applause of Valencia fans rang out at the Mestalla Stadium. This action expressed their recognition of the team's performance in the first half!

Although there was no goal...but the team was facing the defending champion of the Champions League! It was Manchester City, which staged a 6:5 shocking reversal of Barcelona last season! It was a super strong team that ruthlessly slaughtered its opponents 4:0 in the opening game of the Champions League!

Halftime 0:0!

Such a result has made all Valencians, including head coach Flores, particularly satisfied.

On the other side.

The young Spanish coach walked back to the player tunnel with his players expressionless.

There were also several conspicuous scratches on his bald head.
