Chapter 264 He's Really Angry!
On the evening of March 24, Mestagna Stadium.
Valencia hosts Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
This is the first time Ranieri has returned to the Mestagna after leaving Valencia. Valencia fans specially welcomed a tinker before the game, but when it came to the game, neither team held back at all.
Before the game, the Chelsea management offered a huge championship bonus of up to 60 pounds, which greatly stimulated the morale and fighting spirit of the Chelsea players. After all, this is already quite a huge reward.
The absence of Duff and Gallas has had a certain impact on Chelsea.
Ranieri played a [-] formation in this game. The goalkeeper is Ambrosio. The defense line from left to right is Bridge, Terry, Desailly and Melchiot. The midfielders are Glenshire, Makelele, Lampard and Parker.
In addition, there are also famous European players such as Veron, Gremi, Joe Cole, Hasselbaink, and Mutu on the bench of the Blues. This team is quite good in terms of lineup strength and bench thickness.
Valencia has also been affected by injuries, and Aimar is absent.
Benitez formed a four-three-three formation, and the midfielder responded with three midfielders.
The goalkeeper is Canizares, the defense is Carboni, Pellegrino, Ayala and Curro Torres, the three midfielders are Baraja, Mohamed Sissoko and Albelda, and the frontcourt is a combination of Vicente, Sudong and Rufete.
Whether it is Ranieri's [-] or Benitez's [-], the tactical intentions of the two coaches can be seen.
Ranieri played with a double defensive midfielder, and he was obviously cautious in away games, trying to stabilize.
Although Valencia is home, the absence of Aimar made it impossible for the team to find a suitable replacement. Benitez simply played with three midfielders, obviously wanting to stabilize the defense first.
In the home game of the Champions League knockout round, the first priority is to keep the goal and not concede away goals.
After the game started, it basically continued the intention of the two head coaches.
Valencia did not attack at the beginning, nor did it adopt a high defense. Instead, it wanted to pass through the midfield with short passes to control the possession of the ball and the rhythm of the game.
Chelsea is very aware of this. Ranieri is still very familiar with the technical capabilities of La Liga teams. They do not intend to compete with Valencia for midfield control.
But even so, Valencia still carved out a gap from the wing.
…………
…………
With his back to the goal, Su Dong carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Both Desailly and Terry were dragged to the end, never leaving his side, especially Desailly.
The Chelsea captain, the champion central defender of the French national team, is 35 years old, but he is still alive.
Su Dong didn't dare to be careless towards him.
When Albelda finally found the gap when he saw the midfielder pulling the pass back and forth, Su Dong suddenly turned around and sprinted forward quickly. Even if he didn't look back, he could still feel that Albelda's long pass was flying in the air.
But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew his whistle.
As soon as Su Dong got up to speed, he was forced to stop, turned his head, saw the referee signaled offside, then looked at the linesman, and sure enough raised the flag, which made Su Dong very puzzled.
When it started just now, he didn't surpass Desailly and Terry.
Or, when they started it themselves, the two moved forward at the same time, creating an offside trap.
Walking back with his head down, Su Dong noticed Desailly's playful eyes.
Soon, you won't be laughing anymore!
Su Dong secretly hated.
……
After 1 minute, Valencia once again created an offensive.
This time it was through a pull pass from the midfielder and the ball was diverted to the left.
Vicente dribbled the ball along the left side and forcibly broke through Melchiot, dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line, and suddenly passed back to the penalty area in an inverted triangle.
Su Dong deliberately lagged behind Vicente, and when the time was almost right, he suddenly accelerated and charged forward.
The slowness and quickness caught Desailly, who was following the defense, a little off guard, and immediately blocked him.
Vicente's pass came in front of Su Dong, but Su Dong didn't stop the ball and directly volleyed with his left foot.
After Su Dong's shot went out, Desailly's shot came in front of Su Dong.
The ball went straight to the left of Chelsea's goal like a cannonball, forcing goalkeeper Ambrosio to fly to the rescue.
There was a burst of applause at the Mestagna Stadium!
Although the goal was missed, it created a threat.
Desailly got up from the ground, stared viciously at Su Dong who turned and walked back, and secretly gritted his teeth.
This kid is so fast!
Even though he had paid close attention, he was still thrown halfway away by him, and then he received Vicente's inverted triangle pass back. He didn't even hesitate, he didn't even stop the ball, and directly volleyed with his left foot, which shows that he is full of confidence in himself!
The right foot will, the left foot is also so troublesome, it is not easy to handle!
Desailly frowned, looked at Melchiot beside him, and signaled him to control Vicente's cross from the wing.
The player Su Dong is too difficult to deal with. If he is allowed to continue passing the ball like this from the side, Desailly will not be sure to completely defend it.
This kid really lives up to his reputation!
……
Valencia's next attack still wants to penetrate the left.
Vicente's performance this season is very eye-catching. It can be said that he is the best player in the Valencia team after Su Dong.
This also makes Benitez have high hopes for him on the offensive end.
Aimar is absent, and only Vicente can cooperate with Su Dong in the whole team.
But after Chelsea noticed, when Vicente tried to break through from the left, Melchiot directly shoveled fiercely. The ball missed, but Vicente was knocked to the ground by the opponent's shovel.
The referee blows his whistle and gives Melchiot a yellow card.
Such a penalty does not satisfy Valencia. Everyone knows that this is a temptation for Chelsea.
The actions of the Premier League teams are always particularly aggressive, and this time they are testing the referee's standards.
But the referee still upheld the original verdict.
This really fueled the actions of Chelsea players.
Subsequently, the two teams made endless small moves on the court.
First, when Valencia was defending a corner kick, Ayala pulled Desailly's jersey behind his back, which made the French captain very dissatisfied and protested to the referee for a while.
But soon, he changed colors.
Valencia got a throw-in in the front court and quickly threw it to Vicente, who dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
When everyone's attention was on Vicente, Desailly in the penalty area first put his hand on Su Dong's shoulder. When he saw Vicente break through with the ball, he suddenly grabbed Su Dong's neck hard and almost knocked Su Dong to the ground.
Su Dong was caught off guard at first, and after being attacked by Desailly, he quickly reacted and shot Desailly away. Unexpectedly, after breaking free, the French central defender turned his elbow back and hit Su Dong directly on the nose, knocking him backwards, and fell to the grass.
The nose was attacked suddenly, Su Dong was in so much pain that he almost burst into tears, he slapped the grass with both hands, and saw Desailly raised his hands innocently like a normal person, Su Dong became furious, rushed directly from the grass, and swung his fist at Desailly, trying to kill this dirty thing.
At the critical moment, Vicente reacted quickly, rushed over quickly, hugged Su Dong, and stopped him firmly.
"Calm down! Calm down, Sue!"
Desailly also heard the movement, turned around, but did not avoid it, but looked at Su Dong provocatively, as if saying, come on, fuck me!
"F*****!" Su Dong pointed at Desailly and cursed angrily.
The Chelsea players also realized the problem. Terry immediately stood between Desailly and Su Dong, separating them.
He saw the whole process of the incident just now. Desailly's action was indeed excessive and too dirty, but that was his teammate, and Su Dong was his opponent.
The referee also ran over and quickly raised a yellow card towards Su Dong as a warning.
Like an annoyed lion, Su Dong pointed at his red nose and asked angrily, "Why did he put his arms around my neck and hit my nose with his elbow? He's fine. I want a yellow card?"
He is really angry!
It's not that he hasn't encountered dirty things before, and there are a lot of small moves, but Desailly's two successive small moves, especially the subsequent elbow, are too f-cking too much!
The referee said that he did not see Desailly's action, but saw Su Dong almost rushing to hit someone.
"Calm down, Su!" Captain Albelda also ran over to persuade him. At the same time, he was also protesting to the referee, thinking that Chelsea played too dirty tonight. This was mainly because the referee's law enforcement standards were too low.
"Many of their actions are completely worthy of a card, even a red card!" Albelda was also full of anger.
The referee said that he would pay attention to controlling the scale of law enforcement, but Su Dong must calm down.
Gradually, Su Dong also woke up, took a deep breath, and felt a burning pain in his nasal cavity.
When he looked at Desailly again, Su Dong no longer had the pre-match respect in his eyes, only deep contempt.
He didn't expect that Desailly would be such a player!
"Tonight, you will definitely pay the price! I will kill you!" Su Dong said through gritted teeth.
Honest people are often more energetic when they get angry.
After listening to Su Dong's words, Desailly didn't make the slightest provocation, and even couldn't help but wonder whether it was a wise choice to provoke him by himself?
……
Subsequent games were basically carried out in an even and steady manner.
Neither side took risks lightly, and both were waiting for their opponents to make mistakes, but neither made mistakes easily.
Just before the end of the first half, when Valencia made a half-time pass, Mohamed Sissoko got entangled with a scrambling Makelele and the ball went out of bounds.
When they parted, Makelele took the initiative and slapped Mohamed Sissoko on the face provocatively. As a result, the angry Mohamed Sissoko slapped him directly on the back of the head.
The slap was actually missed, but Makelele fell to the ground resolutely after being stunned for two seconds, rolling and howling.
