Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 718

On the Mestalla Stadium, the first round of the offensive and defensive contest between Manchester City and Valencia is being staged.

Manchester City, who attacked first, chose to speed up. After Su Fei handed the ball to Modric behind him, he followed Cassano and Mandzukic and launched an attack on the front court.

Valencia side.

As a typical La Liga team, the high-pressure defensive style is not their characteristic. They pay more attention to the integrity of defense.

The back line, the midfield line, and the forward line.

The three lines maintain a relative distance between them, forming a tight defensive whole. With the advancement of Manchester City, they move synchronously and compress Manchester City's passing space.

Similarly.

Compared with the violent scramble of physical confrontation, La Liga players also prefer and are good at technical defensive actions. They actively run, constantly adjust their positions, predict and block Manchester City's passing routes.

In such a defensive environment.

Modric, who got the ball, did not rush to send a long pass, but slowly carried the ball across the center line.

Valencia midfielder Silva took the initiative.

He started to approach Modric. He did not blindly accelerate, but kept observing Modric's small frequency touches and moving his blocking position.

"Silva steals!"

"Modric!"

"Send the ball..."

"Failed to send it!"

"Ouch, Silva blocked and counter-robbed, the opening ball was exchanged!"

"Valencia counterattacks!"

....

Seven years ago, Silva, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and 14 years old, was taken by his father to participate in the team test of Real Madrid Football School. He passed the test, but was rejected by the person in charge of Real Madrid Youth Training at that time because he was too short.

So.

This talented pocket midfielder was forced to choose to join Valencia Youth Training and continue to pursue his football dream. And he soon showed his unparalleled football talent, and was loaned by Eibar Athletic and Real Vigo Celta.

Last summer, Valencia directly offered Silva a big contract and let him replace Argentine international Aimar as the main player in Valencia.

Silva repaid the club's trust in him! In the last season's Champions League round of 16, a volley shot at the end of the game equalized Inter Milan and helped the team to enter the quarterfinals. Then another powerful volley was staged in the quarterfinals.....

The 21-year-old Silva is also the main player of the Spanish men's football team today. In the original history, he will become the starting main force in the European Cup next year to help Spain defeat Germany and win the European Cup!

.....

Back at the Mestalla Stadium, Modric's loss of the ball was a scene that the entire Manchester City, including Su Fei, did not expect.

Valencia's counterattack sprint was very fast.

Manchester City's defense was half a beat slower.

Although Modric immediately launched a counterattack against Silva, Silva reacted quickly after taking the ball, passed the ball horizontally, and steadily passed the ball to his teammate Villa on the left.

David Villa!

26 years old, 1.75 meters tall, one of the best offensive players in La Liga!

In the match between Valencia and Bilbao last season, he headed and kicked 3 goals in 5 minutes, setting the fastest hat trick record in La Liga and shocking the football world!

This summer! Including Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other top giants, all hope to bring this world-class striker into the account. However, Villa refused all of them and chose to continue to play for Valencia, which made him successful.

"Villa!!"

"Pull to the side and explode!"

"Valencia's counterattack is very fast!"

"Pepe!"

"Dodge it! Villa dodges Pepe's sliding tackle!"

"Villa has reached the end line!"

"Look at this ball, how to deal with it, there are many points for coordinated follow-up!"

The Mestalla Stadium was boiling, and the Valencia players in white jerseys were like galloping horses, counterattacking and killing Manchester City's goal in a moment.

"Valencia!!!"

On the side of the court, head coach Flores held his hands on his chest and held his breath. If the team's counterattack was successful, he might jump up in the next second.

"Bang!"

Villa, who came to the end line, sent a long pass in the penalty area without hesitation. In an instant, several white figures rushed into Manchester City's penalty area.

The next second.

"Bang!!!"

A blue figure rushed back to the penalty area from the middle of the road, overpowering a group of Valencia players and getting the ball first.

Football.

It was not as good as Valencia.Instead of flying towards the goal as the Asian fans wished, the ball flew high and far out of the penalty area and cleared the ball.

The scene in front of him made Wang Tao, who was nervous in the ESPN live broadcast room, excited to the point of almost roaring.

"Su Fei!!!"

"Header clearance!"

"Oh my God!"

"Su Fei completed this threatening cross clearance, and used his violent header to push the football out of the danger zone!"

"Too dangerous!!"

"This ball!!"

"Su Fei rushed back from the front court and successfully participated in this defense!"

In an instant, the already boiling Mestalla Stadium suddenly became quiet, and the Valencia fans looked at the replay on the big screen in disbelief.

What the hell?

Isn't that kid a front midfielder? He was able to rush back to the penalty area and complete a header clearance?

Outrageous.... The speed of this kid's defense just now was too outrageous, it was completely at the level of a 100-meter sprint!

On the court, Su Fei, who completed this heroic clearance, gasped for air, and immediately ran to the front court without any extra nonsense.

On the side of the court, Guardiola, who was scared and sweating, scratched his bald head.

Valencia's counterattack speed and coordination are completely incomparable to the opponents Manchester City has encountered recently.

It is worthy of being a team that once stepped on Barcelona with one foot and Real Madrid with the other, and topped the La Liga twice in three seasons!

The game on the court continues.

Manchester City has the ball.

With the lesson that Modric almost got a quick counterattack from Valencia after losing the ball just now.

Manchester City players' passing and advancement have also become more cautious, and they maintain the unity of the formation.

Only in this way.

can they quickly return to defense in an orderly manner after losing the ball and withstand Valencia's sudden explosive counterattack.

Instead of adopting high-pressure defense, Valencia chose to lie dormant after the sudden outburst, and more often used double-player coordinated attack, one grab and one block to fight for the ball.

The game entered a short period of calm.

The Valencia fans, whose hearts were pounding with excitement, had a little time to relax.
