Chapter 108 A Familiar Opponent Again

"The opponent Wang Yu faced today must be very familiar to him. The last time he faced Valencia, Wang Yu scored a hat-trick, but that was already in Vallecano. But this time, Wang Yu started for Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey."

"We can see that Atletico Madrid basically played a pure substitute lineup in this game. Except for the forward position of Villa, who can be regarded as the main force, the other positions are all substitutes."

"As for this game, Wang Yu is standing in the position of the left winger according to the position shown in the official screen. I don't know what the position will be after the game starts."

Ever since Wang Yu started to play in La Liga, CCTV also bought the copyright of the Copa del Rey. Although the time of the game was not good for the Chinese audience, it was after 5 o'clock in the morning, but He Yi saw the gesture of the director. , which means the ratings are good.

The main reason is that the starting lineup was announced half a day before the game, and this is Wang Yu's first start on behalf of Atletico Madrid, so many fans got up early to watch the game.

Wang Yu was still a little nervous standing on the court.

Patting his own face, Wang Yu looked around, the Mestalla stadium was full at this time, Wang Yu calmed down when he saw the home fans on the sidelines.

Wang Yu stood on the left side and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

The referee glanced at his watch and blew the whistle to start the game.

Wang Yu ran towards the opponent's half, and Villa also ran forward after passing the ball to Raul Garcia.

The tactical play of this lineup is completely different from that of the main lineup. It is a set of offensive formation and play.

So as soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid immediately started to attack.

Raul Garcia did not return the ball after getting the ball, but directly gave it to Wang Yu on the left, and then ran forward himself.

Those who didn't know thought Atletico Madrid played a double striker.At least for the first 5 or 6 minutes, Raul Garcia played completely as a striker.

After Wang Yu got the ball from the side, he started to break through. This feeling of galloping on the side is still very good, but it is not so good for Valencia.

Wang Yu seemed to have no trouble getting past Valencia's full-back Pereira.Then Wang Yu dribbled the ball and waited for his teammates in the middle to catch up. In just a few seconds, Villa and Raul Garcia arrived one after another. The ball bypassed Rami and Mathieu and came to the far post. At this time, Villa's experience made him make the best judgment, came to this position, and scored with a shovel.

In the 8th minute of the opening game, Wang Yu assisted, Villa scored, and Atletico Madrid led 1-0 away.

"Wang Yu's pass was bright. He didn't blindly hit the high ball. Instead, he passed a low ball. Valencia's two central defenders missed their kicks and were caught by Villa at the far end."

"Villa shot the ball smartly, and Wang Yu passed it beautifully. Wang Yu got an assist when he played as a winger for the first time at Atletico Madrid."

Wang Yu rushed over and hugged Villa to celebrate.

With a goal scored in such a short time, it looks like the game will be easier.Simeone on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief. If he can rely on the bench to win the first round, then it will be better when facing the biggest championship opponent Barcelona in the league a few days later.

The following first half passed smoothly, the two teams exploded with each other, Valencia played three strikers this time, and the midfielder basically became the channel for Atletico Madrid. Just formed, kicking is not proficient.So although the next few offensive cooperations were successful, they were all resolved by the opponent. Atletico Madrid's opening goal directly woke up Valencia. They realized that they were facing the league leader now. Even if they are all substitutes, they need to deal with it seriously. If they are so serious, this substitute team will not perform as well as the beginning.

But Simeone is not worried.Originally, it was a stopgap measure to release one main force and ten substitutes. After all, the next game is too important to be lost, so this game can be given up in Simeone's view, but since the goal is advanced, it must be won up.

So during the intermission, Simeone emphasized to the players.

"In the second half, we not only have to attack, but we have to counterattack when the ball is lost. Don't be afraid of fouls, limit the opponent to our midfielder first, and then use Wang Yu's speed to keep counterattacking in the frontcourt. Don't lose the ball, An away game without conceding a goal is a victory, not to mention we scored first."

After speaking, Simeone glanced at Wang Yu, his eyes full of trust.

Wang Yu didn't know how he read it out, but it was indeed such feelings that made Wang Yu feel a lot more comfortable. Although Wang Yu was calm, he also discovered that he and those who like to be recognized and praised by others I feel that I can perform better this way.

So with an inspired mood, Wang Yu stepped onto the court.

As soon as the second half came up, Atletico Madrid's offense became aggressive.It was difficult for Valencia to adapt for a while. All Atletico Madrid players have been trained in confrontation and counter-attack, and once they operate in actual combat, there is no discomfort at all.

Including Wang Yu also found that it was very easy for him to grab the ball, especially since the opponent hadn't reacted yet.

In the second half, with Valencia struggling to defend, the game came to 82 minutes.

At this time, Wang Yu saw Turan standing on the sidelines, and probably wanted to replace him.

Wang Yu thought, then there is no need to save energy.

Let's have a blast for the last 10 minutes.

Wang Yu, who hadn't made a breakthrough for half time, suddenly changed his way of playing the ball. Instead of crossing, he dribbled the ball directly from the side.

Pereira was staggered directly, and then he saw that Wang Yu did not continue to break through to the bottom line, but pushed the ball to the middle with his right foot, and then poked the ball with his toe, passing the central defender Lamy who came to defend him, Then Wang Yu took a step to the right, and there was a huge gap between goalkeeper Alves and Mathieu in Wang Yu's eyes.

Without hesitation, Wang Yu shot angrily.

The ball was very fast and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal, but Diego Alves, the Valencia goalkeeper, even punched the dead corner kick that Wang Yu thought must be scored with a single punch.

Wang Yu hugged his head.

Simeone on the sidelines also held his head, as if he couldn't believe it happened.

But the bravery of the goalkeeper could not cover up the misfiring of Valencia's striker. In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 away.

Wang Yu performed well in this game, but he still didn't score his first goal to join Atletico Madrid.
