Chapter 407 Fighting wits and courage
During the intermission, Pei Gong had no choice but to make substitution adjustments, removed a striker, and replaced another midfielder. Riquelme was marked to death, and then another As an organizer, is it possible to find another way?
In this way, Riquelme became a feint. In other words, he was a bait, waiting for Notts County to eat him, and he had no appetite to eat another organizer.
Although Riquelme is reluctant, the reality is that under the special care of the little fellow, he really can't show his strength, and there is no way around it.
At the beginning of the second half, Notts County immediately felt the changes in Villarreal. Riquelme ran more actively and more methodically. Just like not caring about physical fitness, the pressure on Mascherano increased sharply.
Running back and forth in the area about 40 meters away from Notts County's goal made Notts County's defensive system a little loose. Harvey Martinez still has a lot of experience. He didn't sort out his thoughts when it came to seat selection.
Therefore, the organizer who played in the second half had a chance, from the beginning of concealment to now frequently asking for the ball. Although his threatening pass is not at the level of Riquelme, it can still cause a lot of threats to Notts County. .
If it's just once or twice, then it's probably a coincidence, but his frequent movements are not the case. At this time, everyone can see clearly that the player who played in the second half is Villarreal. The temporary core, even Riquelme is doing auxiliary work.
The goal was threatened several times in a row. If it wasn't for the replacement of a striker, Villarreal's single striker seemed a bit difficult to support. If there was another support point, perhaps they would have been able to equalize the score in the away game.
Loew knows that Harvey Martinez still lacks a lot of experience, but this kind of game is of great benefit to the growth of players. It is impossible for him to replace Harvey Martinez at this time, so he can only play against Deco made a few gestures, asking him to assist Harvey Martinez in defense at an appropriate time.
Loew originally arranged two defensive midfielders, just to liberate Deco, so that he can have enough energy to pass the threatening ball, but now he finds that facing a Villarreal who has made a strange move, Just two defensive midfielders are not enough, and Deco has to put part of his energy on defense.
Fortunately, Notts County's offensive threat has not declined, and the unreasonable trio in the frontcourt can still create a great threat to Villarreal, and even Robben's in-cut shot hit the goal post , can't help but make people sigh.
The coaches of the two sides are fighting wits and courage, but the cards in Peigong's hands are much worse than those of Loew, so that they are restricted everywhere.
After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, Loew seemed dissatisfied with the score. If he only wins one goal at home, the away game might be overturned. It was not allowed to appear, so in the 70 minutes of the second half, Loew first made adjustments.
Ribery went off and Cazorla substituted, but the third brother did not appear in the left winger position, but appeared in the middle.
At this time, Notts County's formation has become 442. Deco and Harvey Martinez form an interception trend at the midfielder, and Cazorla is slightly forward. You must know that his speed and dribbling are also his The greatest feature.
As a result, Riquelme was still marked to death, and it was difficult for Villarreal's new playmaker to intercept and face Notts County's defense. The defensive ability is also top-notch, and the experience should be richer.
The offense couldn't start the situation, and Notts County frequently played fast breaks in the backcourt. Pei Gong's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. Notts County's defensive strength made him unable to find more offensive methods.
If the positional offense cannot be achieved, then there are only defensive counterattacks and set-pieces left, but defense is not Villarreal's strong point, and set-pieces are not satisfactory. Now it depends on how he chooses.
This seems to be a paradox. If you want to defend and hold to prevent Notts County from expanding the score, then the best way is to remove Riquelme, the defensive black hole, and then retreat. Resign yourself to fate.
But if you want to make some fuss about set balls, you still need Riquelme's precise footwork, so this is where Pei Gong struggles.
But look at the time, there are only ten minutes before the end of the game, and it is not easy to score a goal, so just defend with all your strength, so that you can still have a thought when you return to the home court.
So, when the game lasted to 75 minutes, Pei Gong made personnel adjustments, Riquelme went off, and was replaced by a defensive midfielder. Through this substitution, anyone can see that Pellegri Ni is planning to give up this game.
Riquelme was still running on the field, and he didn't realize that he was substituted. There were extremely loud boos at the Magpie Stadium. At this time, his teammates also reminded Riquelme that the coach had replaced him.
Riquelme looked at the substitution card in disbelief, his eyes widened, as if he saw the most unacceptable thing in the world.
However, after repeated confirmations, the classic midfielder's face turned extremely ugly, and he walked off the field without saying a word. When he passed by Pellegrini, he didn't even glance at his coach. Ignoring the coach's outstretched hand.
The live camera also showed Pellegrini's face. The Chilean engineer also had a very ugly expression. He didn't expect that Riquelme would be so self-willed, and he didn't even give him face.
The emergence of this scene indicates that tomorrow's media will definitely write a lot about it. There is a conflict between the core of the team and the coach. This kind of news is the easiest to stimulate sales.
David looked at this scene with a half-smile. Sometimes a powerful force often dies due to internal strife, which is what it means to cause trouble.
I remember that Pellegrini and Riquelme, two good partners who worked together to create the yellow submarine for a while, parted ways in the end. Although it is not clear who the problem is, the conflict between the two finally came to an end. It was the bitter pill that Villarreal swallowed.
Could this game be the trigger for a tragic ending?
David didn't know, and he didn't want to know, it was none of his business anyway!
