007 Rift
The Champions League final is on May 24, and Valen still have two La Liga games to play before that, and the final two league games.
Win both away at Celta Vigo and Zaragoza at home to Barcelona in second place. Barcelona also dropped points in the league after a heavy defeat to Valencia.
Before the Champions League final, Jiangshan was too busy to touch the ground.
Find video materials, edit them into videos, and match them with data analysis and tactical explanations. If he hadn't done it in his previous life, just watching the video of Real Madrid's game would be enough, he was making his last effort, and whether the team could successfully pick off Real Madrid would depend on the final battle.
At the same time, his courses at the university are getting tighter and tighter, and well-known coaches often come to give speeches, and even the senior management of the team is invited to give lectures, and Jiang Shan also does not want to miss it.
The systematic study has helped him a lot, just like studying at the University of Liverpool in his previous life. Without his CV at the University of Liverpool, he wouldn't even be able to become a coach at home. After all, the domestic football circle is not big, and it is not easy to become a head coach, especially since he has no background.
After listening to Bosque's report at the university, Jiang Shan had a deeper understanding of Real Madrid's tactical concept, and when he went back that night, he made changes to the edited video and didn't sleep all night.
He concluded from the information that Bosque had inadvertently revealed that Real Madrid would use a 532 formation in the Champions League final. This formation is the same as the previous one, but in the game it almost became a 352 style of play, Carlos and Salgado two full-backs used as wingers, unstoppable, this is the formation that can restrain Valencia 442.
Football tactics continue to develop, and the 442 formation has both offense and defense, which has been relatively perfect and occupies the mainstream. But 352 can restrain him, strengthen the midfield control, and have a central defender who is responsible for the ball, and has a certain advantage in the face of the 442 formation.
It's impossible to change Wallen's 442 style of play now, and Cooper's habit of seeking stability in key games is not bold enough, and changing formations temporarily may not be successful.
Jiang Shan thought about it for a long time, 442 can also beat 352, but the two wingers need strong and continuous impact ability, constantly impact the ribs, and play behind the opponent's left and right central defenders.
The team's current wingers Mendieta and Gonzalez are very strong, but Mendieta will certainly be taken care of, and against Carlos, he has little advantage in speed and technique. Jiang Shan still clearly remembers Mendieta's almost invisible Champions League final this year.
Gerard can play as a winger, his dribbling and passing ability is no worse than Mendieta's, and it is better to contain Carlos, and the key is to release Mendieta. The question is whether Cooper will dare to put his team's forward midfielders in the winger position and then let Mendieta, the winger, play in the midfield position.
Cooper's 442, the midfielder is in a diamond-shaped position, with López in front and Farinos in the back, and Mendieta and Gonzares are separated on either side, and there is little change. Bosque has a strong coaching ability and will definitely make targeted deployments.
Jiang Shan kept searching in his mind, the 2000 Champions League final was a classic, he watched it several times, and now in retrospect, Carlos played a crucial role in Real Madrid's victory.
Real Madrid's first two goals, one came from Carlos's long-range shot with a teammate's pass, and Morientes grabbed the point; One came from Carlos' touchline, who threw the ball directly into the box and after being blocked, the Real Madrid player fired a long-range shot from outside the box.
Jiang Shan changed the video again, and a heated discussion broke out with Cooper the next day.
"Real Madrid will also be concerned about Mendieta's power on the wing, and Carlos can't press too deeply." Cooper was confident.
He has reason to be confident, and this season, Valencia won one and drew one against Real Madrid in two legs in the league. First, they won 3-2 away against Real Madrid, and then returned to the home stadium where the two sides drew 1-1, and Valencia did not fall behind.
Therefore, Cooper was very dissatisfied with Jiangshan's suggestion, and he felt that the final should be more rigorous and follow the familiar routine.
Jiang Shan nodded and did not continue. He's not a head coach, he's Cooper's assistant when he says it's good, and he's just a part-time scout when he says it's bad. Cooper has given face to the game against Celta Vigo by bringing in an aging full-back.
But it worked well, and full-back Angeloma took his only chance. The team won 1-0.
After the game, the players said that the credit was all due to the country, and Cooper's depression can be imagined. Now Jiangshan wants to come up with some new routines, Cooper is not happy, the game against Celta does not matter, it is no problem to try the formation, the Champions League final is different, change the style of play arbitrarily, the team may not adapt.
If you lose the game, it will be Cooper, not Jiangshan, who will bear the criticism. Cooper chose to play it safe. Cooper certainly couldn't have imagined that in his previous life, he reached the Champions League final two years in a row, and then failed both times, and was dubbed a "two-milk" coach by the media.
Jiang Shan came out of Cooper's office and smacked his lips, "If only I were the head coach, no one would dare to say anything no matter how the formation was arranged." ”
It's a pity that he is nothing now, and can only stare dryly. And he discovers that Cooper and him have developed a rift that will be difficult to rehabilitate. Jiang Shan wants to be a coach, he has big ambitions, and Cooper will not allow power to be scattered, and it is only a matter of time before he leaves.
Jiangshan has been feeling very uncomfortable these days, a little tired, and is ready to go to the bar to find a big Yanma to vent the fire and relieve depression.
Yesterday at the school, the chairman of the German Hoffenheim team, Hopper, came to speak, he argued with Hoppe, Jiangshan believes that the future of football capital is in charge, but Hope has the opposite opinion, because his team has been promoted again and again, won the lower league championship this season, and is about to be promoted to the fourth division of Germany, and he is proud.
Now I'm arguing with Cooper again, and I'm feeling aggrieved. However, he still wants to win against Real Madrid and make a different history.
Jiang Shan was ruthless, "Since the coach can't make sense here, the players can always whisper, right?" "He decided to start with the players and try his own ideas.
Who made him have a good relationship with the players, and the players trusted him? Who let him know the results of the last game?
Soon, the 38th round of La Liga will take place, and the team will have the last chance to debug.
Valencia plays at home against fourth-placed Zaragoza. Cooper is still cautious and plays with all the main players, and he wants second place in the league.
Jiang Shan has been promoted to Cooper's side, has a seat, and looks like a bit of an assistant coach. The cameras of the media swept by, and a yellow-skinned face appeared on the TV camera, and countless viewers were very curious.
Cooper knew that the camera was strafing, and immediately turned his head and pointed to the country, "You pay attention to my command, we will definitely win." ”
Jiang Shan smiled and nodded, and did not save his face.
Soon after the opening, Cooper appeared on the sidelines, constantly directing the team, and the team's attack was wave after wave, and the momentum was very strong. However, Mendieta's attack was frequently blocked, and it was difficult to tear up space on the wing, and Angelo immediately came to answer and crossed into the penalty area, and Angulo headed the ball wide.
Cooper hurriedly ordered Angeloma to retreat and defend well.
As the end of the half, the team still couldn't break the deadlock. That's when Cooper's surprise happened. Mendieta took the initiative to adduct and Hladra played the role of winger.
The team showed a completely different rhythm, and this sudden change tore through Zaragoza's defence in an instant.
Gerard returned the pass, Mendieta in the middle answered, took a step, sent a through ball, Lopes cut in diagonally, and shot without stopping. Changed the score. After the goal, López pointed to the stands, as if he was grateful to the audience and seemed to be greeting Jiangshan.
Cooper's face was ugly, he didn't have such an arrangement before the game, could it be that Jiang Shan did it? But it's a good thing that the team scored, and he didn't have a seizure.
He is only a player who has an idea, Mendieta is a free agent in Cooper's system, and it is normal to cut the ball inside, and Jiangshan should not have such an impact.
It's just the last through pass, which he has never arranged, is it really a player's inspiration?
