Chapter 249 The yellow submarine in poor condition
Ye Qi didn't get many chances in the first half, mainly because the opponent's midfielder Rico was too difficult to deal with, and the opponent was almost inseparable from him!
So during positional battles, it was almost difficult for Ye Qi to receive passes from his teammates, because Rico followed him all the time.
And when his teammates hit the high ball, although the opponent's central defenders are all in the early 1.8 meters, which is not considered tall, he often faces three people alone!
Just when the fans at the scene thought that the first half might end [-]-[-], the situation on the field changed suddenly.
No.403 minutes, Aquino glanced at Ye Qi in the middle after breaking through.
Ye Qi sensed his teammate's gaze, and he immediately winked to signal him not to pass him here.As a result, Aquino didn't see it, and directly stuffed a ground ball over!
At this time, Granada central defender Diego Martins got stuck in Ye Qi's position, followed by midfielder Rico and intercepted Aquino's pass.
"Alas!" Ye Qi sighed inwardly, and rushed up to fight back on the spot.
Rico naturally didn't intend to give the opponent a chance, and immediately passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick!
The football crossed more than half of the field and went behind Villarreal defenders Bailly and Paulista.
Bailey immediately turned and chased back, but Granada's Nigerian striker Ighalo stepped in and rushed past Bailey to catch the ball behind the opponent.
Bailey immediately raised his hand to indicate that the opponent was offside, but the referee did not indicate, and the linesman did not raise the flag.
After Ighalo got the ball, he lay down a step and directly used his speed advantage.Paulista moved laterally to cover, but couldn't keep up with Ighalo.
In the end, the Nigerian striker formed a single-handed fight and faced the goalkeeper directly!
The goalkeeper Asenjo, who abandoned the goal, pounced on the football at Ighalo's feet. As a result, Ighalo waded the ball out again, and then used his speed to bypass Asenjo's defense!
Ighalo, who received the ball behind Asenjo, hit an empty goal, and the entire shot was completely unimpeded.
One to zero, Villarreal is behind their opponents in the away game.
Ighalo was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with the home fans.
He came on loan from Udinese, but this is his fifth season on loan at Granada. Although it is a loan, he has played for Granada longer than many players who have officially transferred.
Ye Qi looked at the Granada players celebrating on the sidelines and shook his head.
When Granada finished celebrating and Ye Qi had just kicked out the ball in the middle circle, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
In the locker room at halftime, Marcelino yelled at the team: "Do you want to win?!"
It's no wonder that Marcelino is so angry, mainly because the state of the whole team is relatively sluggish today.
First of all, the offensive line can't open the situation, and then the defensive line is out of the chain.
Although only one goal behind in the first half, Granada's several counterattacks were very threatening. If it weren't for the goalkeeper Asenjo's outstanding performance and the opponent's striker's line shooting skills were really hard to compliment, Villa would have been in the first half. Real may be three goals behind.
"Our offense didn't improve either. Ye alone attracted three defenders in the frontcourt. What are the rest doing? Why don't they go up?"
"Or is it because Ye's scoring efficiency is too high, so you are already dependent on him?"
"The opponent's defense against Ye is relatively tight today. I hope the rest of the team can step up and participate in the attack. Make good use of this..."
Marcelino turned his head and said to Ye Qi: "Ye, in the second half, you should open up more space. The wingers on both sides of us cut in, and the full backs go up."
Ye Qi nodded, showing that he understood.
"Manu, you have to go forward more! Especially when Ye Qi attracts the opponent's defensive attention, you have to go up to form a new offensive arrow, and at the same time, you have to be more flexible in your movement. Don't stand still in the middle. The range of movement is large. Some, at the same time, you can also cross positions with Ye to attract the opponent's defensive firepower!"
"Understood, coach!" Tilos said.
"All in all, we have to play more aggressively in the second half. Yes, our main tactics are indeed defensive counterattacks, but that doesn't mean we should give up offense!"
"When facing teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, we are indeed biased towards defense, but against Granada and Real Betis... we still need to be more active!"
The reason why Marcelino's reaction was so big was that when he played against Real Betis before, the team's poor performance led to the loss.
As a result, this match against Granada is about to repeat itself, which is unacceptable to him.
This season, Real Betis has a big problem, ranking last in the standings, so the seemingly easy-to-get three-pointer did not get it, and it gave the opponent warmth.
Marcelino still feels that he can accept the fact that he can't get points against a strong team.But if there is no way to get points against Real Betis and Granada, then he will really be angry.
After all, in his opinion, the six points in these two games should be easy to get!Even if you can't get six points, it's not a big problem to add up to four points in two games, right?
The result.......First lost to Real Betis, and then fell behind at halftime at home in Granada!
If I can't get a point in these two games, I will really be angry!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, although Marcelino made a fuss in the locker room, he did not make substitution adjustments.
On the other side, the leading Granada did not make any substitutions, and the two sides basically started the second half of the game with the original team.
At the beginning of the second half, Granada played very smartly, because they recovered their defense line by a large margin, waiting for Villarreal to attack!
Because they know that the opponent should be anxious now, after all, they are one goal behind, so they plan to retreat and play a defensive counterattack in the second half!
Ighalo's speed and explosiveness are very fast, Barasimi's speed is not slow, and his ability to dribble is very good.
Such a striker configuration is not very good for defensive counterattacks, isn't it useless!
So except for the forward pair of Ighalo and Barasimi, almost all the remaining players returned to the second half.
Originally, Granada played in a 442 parallel position in this game, and the two full-backs on the side road more or less took on some defensive tasks.
Ye Qiding was at the front, and Rico, who was in the back position, was still inseparable.
Thinking of this, Ye Qi simply sneaked into the opponent's pile on purpose, trying to see if he could make the opponent's defense mess up.
In 1 minute, Bruno directly kicked the ball from the backcourt to find Ye Qi.
Ye Qi looked up at the football flying in mid-air, then rushed to the opponent's two central defenders to jump for the top.
This caused the opponent's two central defenders not to be careless, and rushed over to form a simultaneous jump after closing the door.
Ye Qi was 1.8 meters tall, taller than the opponent's two central defenders and midfielder Rico, but he won the ball for the top, but there was no way to form a threatening pass.
Because he was caught between three people, it was not easy to use his strength.
