A Shaky Defense

Su Yun first analyzed the current situation of the match.

Firstly, there was the ball possession, which was estimated to be half as much for his team as for his opponents.

In fact, the individual ability of Real Betis players, there is no problem, even higher than the opponent, the problem is out in the teamwork.

The midfield passes were so misfiring that it was difficult to push the ball into the opponent's half of the field in an organized manner.

In turn, Rayo Vallecano's offense didn't really put in a particularly large number of troops, as they only had a single striker.

A lot of the time it was a matter of capitalizing on Real Betis' mistakes and making quick counter-attacks.

In this way, when it was Real Betis' turn to attack, it was instead difficult to capitalize on counter-attacks due to the excessive number of opponents at the back.

Thinking of this, Su Yun fell silent.

Looks like this is turning out to be a dead end.

Real Betis tried to attack, but couldn't, and instead were repeatedly caught behind the ball.

Unless...

Suddenly, an aura appeared in Su Yun's head!

Unless... Unless Vallecano's formation presses up completely, which would leave a lot of gaps behind them.

Real Betis' strikers can then use their speed to their advantage, moving quickly through the midfield and counterattacking with little coordination.

It's the only way Real Betis will have a shot.

Thinking of this, Su Yun instantly became excited, and he immediately wanted to tell his teammates about this.

But after looking around, he then realized, who could he talk to?

In the eyes of the others, once the opponent is allowed to completely press the formation up, the goal will have to undergo a severe test. But he himself is a young rookie goalkeeper, in the eyes of his teammates, is simply not able to withstand such a test.

TMD! It's still hard to do!

Su Yun thought of a way, but did not have the conditions to implement it.

That's when Rayo Vallecano finished another play on the right.

The downward pass, however, went awry and the ball flew straight off the line.

The Real Betis defense, for one, breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yun looked at Deribasic, who was not far in front of him, with a disappointed look on his face, and suddenly had a solution.

Since there's no way to convince your teammates to recycle the formation, why not look to your opponents?

"Hey! Delibasic, why don't you shoot? I've been waiting for it!" Su Yun directly started provoking his opponent.

"Kid, you wait, there's still all the time, I'll make you pay sooner or later!"

"Yeah? I guess you softies won't even get a shot on goal this game, huh?"

Saying this, Su Yun suddenly took off his gloves and then deliberately threw them to the ground, then said with a hangdog look.

"The way I see it, you guys are still not good enough to score today even if I don't bring my gloves. Seriously, I even think that the defense you and your team are not worthy of me to bring the gloves."

Delibasic's eyes gradually narrowed as he watched Su Yun's appearance, and his anger gradually ignited.

"Kid, how dare you humiliate me and our team?"

"Humiliate? Seriously, none of you deserve to be humiliated."

Su Yun's words instantly ignited the rage of the Vallecano players.

They surrounded towards Su Yun as soon as the group was agitated.

"Hey! Asian! You're fucking looking for death aren't you?"

"Kid, I'll remember your words, I'm going to kick your team's ass today."

"Korean, you wait for me! I'll definitely waste one of your hands later, so you won't have to wear gloves in the future!"

The players of Rayo Vallecano were prepared to eat up Real Betis little by little, but after being enraged by Su Yun, they already hated to finish off Real Betis immediately.

After Su Yun saw his opponent's angry appearance, he smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

That's the effect to have.

In this way, the opponent's formation must still press forward and the back line must be exposed.

However, while Su Yun's plan worked, his teammates were speechless.

"POW!!!"

Su Yun only felt a pain in the back of his head, then a serious voice came from behind him.

"Sue, what are you doing? Hurry up and pick up the gloves for me! Bring it on!"

Su Yun turned around and saw that it was the team's captain, Brazilian Erinay.

He hemmed and hawed, revealing two rows of large white teeth, "Captain, what's up?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with you? The team's defense is already shaky, so why are you running around provoking the opposition?"

"Captain, as you can see, the gap behind our opponents is too small, I want them to attack so we can..."

"Stop it!" Erinay frowned, "Su, can't you see the situation clearly? Once they really attack out, how can we possibly stand up to them?"

Speaking of which, all of the other teammates also started spitting with helpless plus angry faces.

"Yeah, Sue, you're still too young."

"You see the look in the eyes of the opposing players, the way Sue threw the gloves away has completely enraged them."

"Sue! You're just a dumbass!"

Erinay waved his hand towards his teammates, signaling them to stop talking, and then said seriously to Su, "Su, this is your first professional game, I can't blame you. But you have to realize that you've caused the team a huge problem!"

Su Yun silently picked up his gloves, then patted Erinay's shoulder and said confidently, "Captain, don't worry. I'm the goalkeeper, no matter what kind of problem you encounter, leave it to me! Don't forget, I'm the strongest goalkeeper in the earth!"

The players of Rayo Vallecano, including Erinay, all shook their heads helplessly as they watched Su Yun's smelly appearance.

"Sue, confidence is good, but too much confidence... Alas..." Halfway through his words, Erinay sighed and ran away, then shouted to the others, "Everyone get ready, the opponent may step up their offense at any time!"

Erinay's prediction was not wrong.

Under Su Yun's provocation, Vallecano's formation really pressed forward.

For this match, Rayo Vallecano used a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The intent of the head coach was also very clear, to put more power on the defense.

Real Betis, on the other hand, had a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, and Pepe Mel's intentions were clear: to step up the attack and use the midfield to their advantage, and press the opposition.

It's just that Pepe Mel's tactics didn't play out at all, judging by the end result.

The midfield was completely cut up by the opposition and the strikers could barely receive passes from the midfield.

Pepe Mel actually saw it all early on that whoever did a good job of defending the midfield in this game was likely to come out on top in the end.

Except, seeing as there wasn't much he could do about it.

However, right after Su Yun provoked his opponent, everything changed.

With Vallecano moving forward in formation, the midfield defense is not as good as it was before and more problems need to be left to the backline.

Real Betis finally saw a chance to break through the midfield.

Except that the cost of this is also very obvious.

The Real Betis defense, almost on the verge of collapse.

The hardcore fans at home, couldn't bear to watch any longer, even though the goal hadn't been breached in a short time.

But as if stimulated, Rayo Vallecano pressed all the way up the pitch, and it was only a matter of time before they broke through.

"Ugh! Head coach do something, I don't want to see another loss."

"Jesus! The first half is almost over, hang on through the first half!"

"Hold on! The players must hold on!"

The manager of Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, had a smile on his face.

He was very happy with the way the game was going, and it's safe to say that the plan to focus on the center of the field for this game was largely a success.

Although the striker repeatedly missed chances, he has now soldiered on.

Several threatening passes were made in the blink of an eye.

The ball had also been dangling in front of the Real Betis box, and all it took was one chance, just one chance, and the game could have been taken away with a win!

On the contrary, Real Betis fans had their hearts in their mouths as they too could see that they might not last the first half and were about to concede.

However, all of them have overlooked one person.

It's Su Yun who hasn't had any play until now.

Su Yun watched his opponent's ferocious offense with an excited smile on his face.
