Super Marshal

In the afternoon of June 20, 2009, Valencia City Stadium.

Levante, who was relegated from the La Liga team last year, was originally supposed to be the favorite of La Liga, but at the end of the season, this team is currently ranked ninth in La Liga and lost hope of making it early.

But this does not prevent Levante from attacking the Chinatown team at his home court.

This is a focus game that fans all over Spain and even the whole world are paying attention to. It attracted more than a thousand media reporters to gather at the Valencia City Stadium, and nearly 20,000 fans bought tickets to enter the stadium.

Everyone has only one purpose, to witness the history of the Chinatown team.

Gao Han still appeared low-key in the chairman's stand of the Valencia City Stadium, but the media and live TV footage were still keen to spot him from the crowd.

Sitting around him, in addition to his beautiful wife Lin Xia, Chinatown team general manager Armando Marcos, technical director Carlos Cantarello, famous agent Jorge Mendes, Marca newspaper Deputy Editor-in-Chief Javier Matayana...

In addition to them, even the famous Atletico Madrid stars Torres, Villa, David Silva, Xavi Alonso and Ramos, and other Spanish players who should have been on vacation, are all present at this moment. Gathering around Alpine, this made all the Levante fans who came to the scene very excited, and it was an unexpected gain.

But on the court, Levante was not as kind as their fans.

The offense and defense of this team are relatively mediocre, but the whole team is very balanced and very integrated, which brought a lot of trouble to the offense of the Chinatown team, and they also ranked four or five in this game. The formation of one contained the visiting team's midfield and made the Chinatown team very uncomfortable.

In the 28th minute, a counter-attack, the forward center Sisko flew a header, and the 1.90-meter midfielder Ivola inserted a header and scored, opening the record for Levante and breaking the field. deadlock.

This made the Chinatown team on the pitch very nervous and began to launch a crazy counterattack, but with little success.

Marcos Senna, as a veteran, stabilized the team's position at the critical moment, squeezed the wild horse of the Chinatown team, and warned all teammates that they must not lose their calm in the game, the more critical the moment is. The more you have to deal with it calmly.

After that, the two sides fought very stalemate, the Chinatown team suppressed the opponent, but failed to create a good scoring opportunity.

"At this time, the most important thing is to maintain patience, not to be anxious, not to be messy."

Gao Han sat in the stands, watched the situation on the court, and said calmly.

From the overall performance point of view, although the Chinatown team is young, its strength is not inferior to Levante. Even under the guidance of Pochettino, relying on the overall technical and tactical play, there is a faint tendency to overwhelm the opponent.

In this case, as physical energy is consumed, it will be more detrimental to Levante.

Therefore, at this moment, for the Chinatown team, the biggest enemy is not the opponent on the opposite side of the court, but himself.

"As a defensive midfielder, Marcos is also a veteran in the team. His performance is very calm and his role is very crucial."

As the world’s top midfielder and Marcos Cena’s teammate for many years, Harvey Alonso agrees with Marcos Cena’s performance, especially after changing to a midfielder to organize Chinatown’s midfielder. Well organized and defensively solid.

It can be said that in the Chinatown team, Marcos Senna is the core of the midfielder, and his role is greater than that of Atletico Madrid.

Torres, Villa and others agree very much, and they all know the strength of Marcos Senna very well.

"That Falcao is also very good, almost every run can run out of neutral." Villa's running position is very clever, and is a world-class scorer, at a glance Falcao's strength can be seen.

"Boss, if this team's ability to create opportunities is stronger, this forward will definitely be able to score more goals."

Torres also nodded again and again, "From the beginning to the present, there are at least three very good opportunities to run, but no teammates passed the ball to him, I have to say it is a big regret."

The two world's top scorers praised Falcao, but the teenager Ramos on the side was eager to try.

"Boss, wait for you to be promoted to La Liga, and see how I teach him." After speaking, the Spanish international defender opened his mouth with a grin and laughed.

Gao Han agrees with the judgments of several players. He also knows that the Chinatown team has indeed suppressed Falcao's scoring momentum. A very important reason is the lack of passing ability in the midfield.

Schneiderlin and Ramirez are not creative midfielders. Marcos Senna is both offensive and defensive, but is responsible for delaying the organization, which makes it difficult for the team's entire midfield to pass the ball to the frontcourt.

Aubameyang is very fast, Diego Costa can run and Falcao can shoot. In this case, the team’s offense is more dependent on the two wingers, Carvajal and Alba. Plug in assists.

But in this game Levante put pressure on the wing, forcing the Chinatown team to be unable to make a threat.

"It's okay. Take your time. The game is not over. It's hard to say who wins and who loses."

Hearing Gao Han's unfathomable and profound words, everyone around was a little surprised, because there were very few of them, or even almost never watched the Chinatown game.

Only Matayana, who is familiar with Gao Han and the Chinatown team, nodded thoughtfully and vaguely guessed what Gao Han meant.

…………

…………

The first half ended with a one-to-zero end, and the Levante team entered the halftime with a one-goal lead.

All those close to the Chinatown team obviously feel a little nervous, because this score does not guarantee the success of the Chinatown team in any case. They need to score more goals.

But after changing sides in the second half, Pochettino didn't seem to have any intention to change players. He still had a four-three-three formation, and still had the same style of play in the first half. His opponents had already figured it out.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, everyone couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"What happened to Pochettino? It should be changed."

"Yeah, it's sixty minutes. It's too late if you don't change people."

"What does he think?"

After leaving the football field, the players have transformed and assumed the role of the head coach to think about problems.

Gao Han smiled on the sidelines, "It's not yet time."

"Not yet?"

"When is that, boss?"

Harvey Alonso thought for a while, "Perhaps, waiting for the other party's physical energy to be exhausted, but are you sure?"

Gao Han took a look at Xavi Alonso with admiration. This Spanish midfielder is a bit like Guardiola and is very good at thinking. If he transforms in the future, he will definitely be an excellent head coach.

But this time Gao Han did not answer his question. Instead, he smiled and asked: "Harvey, the one you introduced to me before, said it is a teenager who is very similar to you, when will you give me the materials?"

Harvey Alonso looked at him deliberately selling off, a little helpless, "That was my dad told me, I saw him a game, I will send you a copy later."

After Gao Han nodded, he asked hurriedly: "Boss, are you sure?"

Gao Han smiled, "There is no absolute certainty on the football field, but sometimes, it is necessary to spot the situation and exert force."

While everyone was still chewing on Gao Han's words, Pochettino finally made a substitution.

In the 70th minute, the Chinatown team replaced midfielder Schneiderlin and replaced a teenager Mkhitaryan.

After the player came on the field, his position was more forward, in the front midfielder area, and Ramirez retreated with Marcos Senna to form a double midfielder, making the field formation look a bit like four, two, three. One play.

And the two sides of Aubameyang and Diego Costa are still very open.

After the game restarted, the Chinatown team was obviously more aggressive, especially in the frontcourt. Mkhitaryan became the team’s offensive core and frequently got the ball, but he seemed to be familiar with the game. There have been several mistakes in his rhythm, but it is not difficult to see his excellent footwork from several moves.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that Mkhitaryan showed his sharp edge.

After retreating to receive the pass from Marcos Senna, Diego Costa cut from the right to the center, but the full-back defending him stayed close to him, allowing Diego Costa to catch the ball. Without a chance, he had to pass back to Mkhitaryan who ran out of neutral to the right as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mkhitaryan received the ball, he made a straight pass with his right foot, passing precisely beside the opposing defender, and passing directly to the upper right corner of the penalty area, while Carvajal followed The opposing defensive player struggled with speed, caught up to the ball one step ahead, stabbed directly to the bottom line, and then caught up with a low-level pass.

In the penalty area, Falcao decisively inserted and shot in front of the goal, sending the ball into the goal.

This wonderful goal was completed in the blink of an eye, and when the fans of the Valencia City Stadium realized it, the ball was already in the net.

Gao Han and others were very excited watching from the stands, stood up from their seats, and kept applauding.

"The one who just came on the bench, this kick is so amazing."

"Isn't it? The pass is just right, just enough for teammates to pass the ball easily after receiving the ball."

"Oh my God, the quality of this pass is too high, I'm afraid only David can pass it."

David Silva was also full of amazement, "There are three players between them, and I may not be able to do it."

You know, he is recognized as the best passing midfielder in the Atletico Madrid team.

On the court, after the Chinatown team evened the score~www.NovelMTL.com~ Levante began to press the counterattack aggressively, seemingly intending to suppress the visiting team, but the Chinatown team retreated to the center line and deployed tight defenses.

Less than five minutes after the last goal, Levante launched an attack, trying to pass the ball behind the Chinatown team's defense line, but Aldweirelder headed the ball past the center line. , Fell at the feet of Mkhitaryan in the arc of the middle circle.

I saw this midfielder greet the ball and picked the ball over the defending player behind him. He turned around and quickly started to catch up. He drove the ball all the way into Levante’s penalty area and attracted the defense. After the player's attention, point after the pick pass.

Falcao then jumped in, leaped to the top of the ball, and drove the ball into Levante's goal again.

Two to one!

In just five minutes, scoring two goals in a row, the Chinatown team played offensively.

After playing, the situation on the field was completely changed. Mkhitaryan, who directed two goals alone, undoubtedly became the focus of the audience, especially in the eyes of Atletico Madrid stars.

"This guy is simply a genius."

"My God, where did he come from?"

"Boss, is he the secret weapon of your Chinatown team?"

"It's great. His sudden appearance made Levante caught off guard, and his strength is vigorous enough. He should be the main force."

After Gao Han heard this, he was also very relieved.

Whether it's four, two, three, or four, three, one heavy offense, one heavy defense, Pochettino has been hesitating.

But from this game, after Mkhitaryan came off the bench at a crucial moment, this almost open performance is estimated to help Pochettino make a decision.

I just don't know how the other games in this round turned out?
