Super Marshal
Chapter 224: Made a mistake?
"Okay, Tristan takes the ball."
"Marchena was defending behind him, my God, he was so alive, he even carried Tristan."
"But the ball is still at Tristan's feet and wants to pass to Victor on the right."
"Victor quickly plugged in..."
"Pretty, Carvalho, who returned to the defense, made a key slip and tackled the ball."
"Jankulovsky received the ball and went straight forward with a big foot to make a clearance."
"Deportivo's offense has failed, but this time it has sounded a wake-up call for Atletico Madrid."
"The performances of the central defenders of Marchena and Carvalho are indeed quite good. They fought and stabilized. They cooperated more and more tacitly, and became more and more skillful. However, the introduction of Cedu Keita during the winter break, this The game is a hidden danger."
"We can see that he is still out of sync with the team."
"Okay, the ball fell to Deportivo's feet again..."
...
...
Although an attack failed to work, it ignited the passion of the 30,000 fans in the stands of the Riazor Stadium.
The atmosphere in the stadium has obviously become more intense, Deportivo also seems to be stimulated, and the rhythm is gradually accelerating.
But Gao Han stood on the sidelines, shaking his head and laughing.
"Carlos, believe it or not? As long as our defense makes no mistakes, Deportivo can't even score a goal."
Cantarello was not surprised, but nodded instead, agreeing with Gao Han's judgment.
Before the game, Gao Han had successfully persuaded the coaching staff why he arranged for Cedu Keita to start.
As for the first arrival of the Mali midfielder, it is not in line with the team and has become the weak underbelly of the opponent's offense. This has long been expected by Alpine and the coaching staff, and even special arrangements have been made in this regard.
"Real Mallorca's four-to-one victory over Deportivo de La Coruña gave me two reminders."
Cantarello smiled slightly, "Which two?"
"One is that Deportivo seems to be very strong, but lacks a key player to make a final decision. Tristan is excellent, but that's it. Looking at the entire midfielder of Deportivo, it is more than fine and sharp. Insufficient, the offense is too concentrated in the middle, and the wing can only rely on the back row of the full-back to insert the offense."
Cantarello nodded again.
Gao Han's analysis was hit by the nail on the head, hitting the point of Deportivo.
The so-called key players are players who have outstanding personal abilities and can single-handedly change the situation of the game.
For example, Kaka.
Atletico Madrid has been in a stalemate many times this season, relying on Kaka's personal strong breakthrough to break the deadlock on the field.
On the other hand, Deportivo, although there are Tristan who is in the state of fire this season, and the midfielder also has the creative Belleron, but once they are guarded by the opponent, Deportivo has nothing to do.
Regardless of Deportivo’s four-two-three-one game, Fran on the left is the side midfielder, and Victor on the right is also not a wing assaulter, which directly leads to Deportivo’s entire offensive. The middle and the ribs.
The two full-backs are very strong offensive, but the full-backs are always a double-edged sword in attack, and in a game, the full-backs are always not as threatening as the full-backs or even the wingers.
If nothing else, the full-backs run up and down frequently, and no one can afford to consume this physical energy.
Therefore, to defend Deportivo, you have to stick to the center and both sides.
Once the frontcourt attack is contained and the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, Deportivo can't prevent it at all.
The fiasco against Real Mallorca is a great example.
The reason why Alpine is confident is that Atletico Madrid's three midfielders are the nemesis of Deportivo.
The reason why he dared to use Cedu Keita boldly in this game is because he has this confidence.
What are you afraid of passing errors?
As long as Cedu Keita can complete the defensive task conscientiously, Gao Han is very satisfied.
What's more, he also arranged an extra task for Cedu Keita during the game.
Cantarello couldn't guess what Gao Han was thinking, but he was very curious. The two reminders only said one...
"Then what is your other gain?" Cantarello asked.
Gao Han laughed, "The second reminder to me is that, regardless of the fact that La Liga teams are now the mainstream of 4, 2, 3, and 31, they are very happy with their double midfielders, but in fact, few teams can hold good defense. "
This is also the reason why Deportivo de La Coruña played well in La Liga, but is not as good as Valencia in the Champions League.
After all, the defense of La Liga and the defense of the Champions League are not at the same level.
In the final analysis, La Liga is still focusing on offensive and defensive.
"You wait, Carlos, the opportunity will come soon."
...
...
Sedu Keita was already sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
But there was no fatigue in his eyes.
He is like a healthy and hungry cheetah on an African grassland, looking for prey that can satisfy his hunger.
He is already twenty-two years old.
The Keita family is a well-known family in West Africa. Talented people come from all walks of life in politics and business. The father of Mali, Modibo Keita, came from this surname.
The Keita family, who is born in large numbers, also has no shortage of outstanding football players.
Cedou Keita’s uncle, Sarif Keita, became famous in Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1, and later moved to Marseille, Valencia and Sporting Lisbon. He once won the title of African Footballer of Football. He is a domestic player in Mali. The only player who has won the title of African Footballer.
After retiring, Sarif Keita founded the famous football youth training center in Mali. Keita and Mohamed Diarra were the first batch of trained players in this center. They were also spotted by Ligue 1 teams here. , And then landed in France.
Influenced by his uncle since childhood, Cedou Keita is determined to embark on the path of professional football, and firmly believes that playing football can change the poverty situation of himself and his family.
Since childhood, he has never disappointed people. Even in the 1999 World Youth Championship, although he failed to help the Mali National Youth Team win the championship, he relied on his outstanding personal performance to beat Luo. Nardinho, Xavi and many other stars have won the title of the best player of the tournament.
That was the first time he had tasted success in his life.
But his outstanding performance in the World Youth Championship did not change his embarrassing situation in Marseille.
Later, he obeyed the proposal of his uncle and his agent, left Marseille and switched to the Lorient team in the French second league, hoping to get more game training and improve his level.
That season, he became one of the main heroes of Lorient's promotion to Ligue 1.
But after the team entered the French Ligue 1, Lorient introduced several midfielders, Keita’s situation became awkward again, especially in a fiasco in the new season, Keita’s several mistakes were repeatedly suffered after the game. Zoom in, the head coach directly took his main position.
After that, he could only occasionally come off the bench and it was difficult to get another chance.
In fact, even now, Lorient's situation is not ideal.
It was when Cedou Keita was struggling to guard the bench and was almost desperate, Atletico Madrid suddenly stretched out an olive branch.
For one million euros, the Bed Sheet Army bought him in La Liga.
It is also a promotion, Lorient is at the bottom of the French Ligue 1 ranking, but Atletico Madrid has won consecutive victories in La Liga, winning all the way.
Cedou Keita didn't understand at all, why did the star-like Atletico Madrid choose him?
But it is impossible for him to give up such an opportunity, because the head coach Gao Han personally called him and promised to give him more opportunities to play, but now, he officially joined the team only a week, he got a chance to start.
The opponent is La Coruña.
The game is the first leg of the semi-final of the Copa del Rey away game.
Regardless of whether it is opponents or competitions, they are full of gold, which Cedú Keita could not imagine before in Marseille and in Lorient.
What makes him even more dare not imagine is that the coach of Atlético de Madrid, who is only two years older than himself, and who is so young, said a word to him a few days ago.
"I've seen your performance in Marseille and Lorient, especially in the World Youth Championship and Lorient season. You played very well. The coaches of Marseille and Lorient didn't use you well, that's because they won't use it."
At first, Cedou Keita didn't believe it, he felt that the young coach was talking nonsense and big talk.
But after a few days of team training, especially under the arrangement of the head coach, after he had practiced with two teammates, he gradually realized that this young head coach did indeed follow all the head coaches he had encountered before. They are all completely different.
Today, he is standing on the court of Riazor. He goes all out and conscientiously implements the tactical arrangements of the head coach before the game, while also looking forward to opportunities in his heart.
Finally, the opportunity has come!
Marcos Senna seemed to intend to compete with fellow Brazilian Mauro Silva in this game, and once again cut off the ball from midfield to Belleron and passed the ball to Kaka.
Kaka immediately accelerated after receiving the ball and launched a counterattack.
Deportivo de La Coruña quickly switched from offense to defense after losing the ball, especially the double defensive midfielder, who retreated for the first time.
But the Brazilian midfielder immediately passed the ball to the left and handed it to Villa, who quickly sprinted forward.
Kaka and Torres rushed forward, UU reading www.uukanshu.com pulled the attention of the home team's defensive players.
In a quick counterattack, after receiving Kaka's pass, Villa did not choose to take the ball by himself, but crossed the ball back to the middle, turning around and rushing to the left side of the penalty area.
The ball was very slow and just stopped in a no-man's land.
The stadium, including many Atletico Madrid players, was puzzled at this moment.
Missed the pass?
But in the next moment, they saw a bodybuilder wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey, quickly rushing up from behind, the ball just fell on his sprinting line, no matter the three or seventy-one, after directly catching up with the ball, swiping From the left foot, it was a direct shot.
There was a muffled bang, and the ball went straight to the goal like a boring cannonball.
It wasn't until this moment that there was a burst of exclamation at the Riazor Stadium.
Even many Deportivo fans were surprised to jump from their seats and lost their color.
