I Want to Be the King of Football

A chartered plane flies non-stop from Milan, Italy to Valencia, Spain.

Shortly after landing, under the leadership of Argentine coach Cooper, Inter Milan players walked out of the airport one after another.

Walking in the forefront, Cooper's face looked very complicated, with mixed feelings.

Two times before returning to Mestania, the fans of Valencia were very unfriendly to him.

For the third time, Cooper could imagine that Mestania would treat him in a more extreme way.

Don't even rule out throwing a pig's head at him.

Cooper would never forget the years in Valencia.

Although he failed to win even one championship here, his two-time Champions League final is the best proof of his coaching ability.

Not only that, no one can deny that at least half of the credit for Benitez's first league championship is due to Cooper, but it also makes the grievances between him and Valencia even more entangled.

In this city, there are not only enemies like Jaime Otti, but also former beloved generals like Mendieta, Aimar, and Ayala, which makes him return to Mestania every time. It's very unpleasant.

But as a professional coach, he has only one task, and that is to lead the team to win the game.

...

Cooper led Inter Milan to Mestania twice, with one win and one loss, but he was the ultimate winner.

The former was played in the second round of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals knockout round. In the case of a one-to-one home match, Inter Milan challenged Valencia away. As a result, Cooper's team was sent off by goalkeeper Toldo. Tenaciously kept the score of one to zero, knocking out Valencia.

The Bat Corps shot 35 shots in that game.

A year later, Cooper led Inter Milan to make a comeback again.

With a one-to-zero victory at home in the first round, Cooper once again presented his best defensive counterattack by visiting Mestania in the second round, bringing his tactics of shrinking defense to the extreme.

The final result was one to two, Inter Milan lost the game, but with away goals, the total score eliminated Valencia two to two, Cooper once again had the last laugh!

But the possession rate of twenty-nine versus seventy-one, the number of shots from three versus twenty-seven, especially Valencia's as many as 18 shots on goal, these statistics are enough to embarrass Inter Milan.

It can be said that these two times, Cooper used an extremely conservative game strategy and he just won the final victory.

This allowed him to not only win the game, but also to further deepen the hatred between him and the Valencia fans.

Especially Benitez.

As early as when the draw came out of the Champions League group stage, Benitez made it clear that this time Valencia will not let Inter Milan retreat completely, and must avenge the two arrows at home for the past two years.

And Cooper today is no longer the Cooper he was two years ago or a year ago.

As he walked out of the airport, Cooper raised his head and glanced at the blue sky of Valencia. The sun shone on his old face and deepened the gully on his face.

He is tired!

…………

…………

"Cooper's current situation is not optimistic."

At the same time Inter Milan arrived in Valencia, the Bat Corps held a tactical preparation meeting at the Patna base.

Benitez conveyed to the players his estimates of the current situation of Inter Milan and the tactics that may be adopted in this game.

"The results are good, but the playing style is too conservative. This is not only my personal evaluation, even the conservative Italians can't stand the conservativeness of Cooper." Benitez spread his hands helplessly.

The players couldn't help laughing.

Italy is famous for its conservativeness, but even conservative Italians can't stand Cooper's conservativeness. One can imagine how desperate his degree of conservativeness is.

"As early as the season, Vieri said that Inter Milan is a giant and should choose a more active style of play."

When Benitez said this, he pointed to the players, “This is a very positive signal. Even Inter Milan players can’t stand Cooper anymore, because his style of play can’t win the game. If there is no championship, there is no hope!"

Sitting in the audience, Su Dong agreed with Benitez's words.

Every head coach has his own expertise. Cooper may have his own unique skills in training defense and targeted tactics, but he can't win a championship by relying on excellent defense alone.

From Valencia to Inter Milan, Cooper stopped in front of the championship again and again, this is really not accidental.

"According to the reliable information we have obtained, Moratti has issued an ultimatum to Cooper. The team must play more aggressively. The Inter Milan president wants to see a more aggressive team, otherwise, wait. Cooper's is the end of get out of class!"

Benitez said this without any expression on his face, but it always made people feel sad.

The head coach is actually a very sad role, especially like Cooper. The chairman above likes to come out and dictate too much. This is not a good thing.

"If I were Cooper, frankly speaking, coaching this Inter Milan, I must also take a defensive counterattack, because this team is not suitable for offensive football at all, and the player configuration is simply not good."

"For example, in possession of the ball, their double defensive midfielders are Zanetti and Emre. The former is a strong player, but they are brave but can't control the ball. Emre likes personal dribbling and breakthrough. This is not a midfielder Players and ball handlers should do, and Recoba is also not suitable for the position of the midfielder. His breakthrough is very ornamental, but it is inefficient and his personal desire for performance is too strong. Once the ball reaches his feet, the attacking rhythm It will become very slow."

"The other point is that their two centers, Cruise and Vieri, are basically not involved in the defense. This makes their midfielders have to be under tremendous defensive pressure for a long time. How do you organize and plan calmly? ?"

"Also, Cannavaro and Materazzi are slow, so Cooper rarely uses offside tactics, but once the defense moves forward, it will be easy for him and behind him when he encounters a quick counterattack. Create a neutral position."

The Valencia players listened in silence.

Benitez has thoroughly studied every game and every opponent. This allows players to fully understand the opponents they will face before the game. When encountering emergencies in the game, they can also deal with it. More calm.

"Frankly speaking, I don't know if Cooper will take an active play, because I am not Cooper, but I think we can test our opponents after the opening and create some pressure on them."

Speaking of this, Benitez quickly asked Jestedan to launch a tactical board, which had already drawn Inter Milan's possible starting lineup, which is still Cooper's best at four or two.

"Vicente wants to avoid Zanetti, retreat appropriately, and still get the ball on the left."

"Understood." Weissen headed.

"Aimar, your task is to suppress Zanetti and Emre, give them some pressure, so that they dare not press on."

Aimar raised his hand and made an OK gesture.

"Su." Benitez looked at Su Dong, "Matrazi and Cannavaro are both world-class central defenders. If you work hard, you may not be able to take advantage. Regardless of speed, you can fight guerrillas. They are not you. Opponent."

With that said, Benitez reached out and drew a circle in the air around Inter Milan's defense.

"This one is your battlefield!"

Su Dong nodded solemnly.

"When you played against Lazio before, you played quite well against Stam and Mikhailovich, but now, against Materazzi and Cannavaro, I believe you can also come up with the best Performance." Benitez encouraged.

When everyone listened, they all turned their attention to Su Dong.

In the past two seasons, Valencia have met Inter Milan in the European arena, and they have lost.

Without exception, the reason for losing is all because of the weakness of the striker.

Today, the team has introduced Su Dong, but once again encountered Inter Milan.

It's a mule or a horse, so you have to pull it out.

Can Su Dong be able to solve the team's weakness?

It depends on his performance against Inter Milan!

"Everyone!"

At the end of the talk, Benitez clapped his hands solemnly, attracting everyone's attention.

"The next schedule is very tight, first Inter Milan, then away to Atletico Madrid, then to Real Madrid at home, away to Marseille, and again to the away game to challenge Barcelona."

"This schedule is a huge challenge for us, but if we can overcome this devil's schedule, then undoubtedly the rest of the season, especially the first half of the season, we will play more easily."

"Whether we can get good results, or even win the championship, this stage of the schedule is the key!"

Benitez's words made the already dignified player feel the weight of this game even more.

Against Inter Milan, it is not only Yixue's defeat in the past two years, but also a good start for the next devil's schedule.

Everyone knows that in such a schedule, once it is not handled well, it is common to lose again and again.

Once such a losing streak occurs, Valencia has no hope this season.

Therefore, in any case, against Inter Milan, Valencia must show the best performance.

Su Dong sat down, and his heart was heavy~www.wuxiahere.com~ The heavier the game, the higher the expectations of Benitez and his teammates, the greater the responsibility on his shoulders.

This is also normal.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

It's like in a team that loses, the first one is definitely to scold the head star for not performing well, because you are a big name.

Since you can accept praise when you win, you have to be scolded when you lose.

This truth, Su Dong understood when he was in Lisbon Sports.

And he also knew that he had to provoke this responsibility.

Not only for teammates, for the team, but also for myself.

Unless he doesn't want to go one step further in his career, otherwise, he must adapt to such pressure and learn to play his strongest level under such high-load pressure.

This is the basic skills of a star!
