Chapter 164: Some Faults Can't Be Used to (Ten Thousand Rewards and Changes)
Valencia's preparations were rushed, and after two short training sessions, the newly regrouped squad came to the first test.
Whether it will be Nirvana's rebirth or self-destruction, the Great Wall has finally come to be revealed.
Although it was just a normal pre-season warm-up game, the fans of the White Ghost showed great enthusiasm, and the nearly 60,000 seats in the Mestalla were filled.
Due to the complexity of the team's purge and transfer work, the team's full assembly time was much later than scheduled, and Valencia's originally planned five warm-up games were repeatedly compressed, and finally became two.
In order to avoid a long journey, Gressel chose a team from within Spain as their opponent in both matches.
One is from La Liga and one is from La Liga.
Today's game is against Malaga in La Liga.
Ironically, two months ago Malaga was in La Liga and Valencia in La Liga, but after a season, the two sides switched places.
After Málaga was relegated, many of the team's main players chose to leave, and it can be said that it is in turmoil, and the eleven on the field of the whole team are fresh faces to many fans, and Valencia is simply a pair of difficult brothers.
Gressel fielded the strongest lineup he could.
Forwards Chu Yang, Leko, wingbacks Banderas, Dennis. Joe, Moya in front, Sampus in midfield, Sainte and Rodri in central defenders, Zogo and Arnos at full-backs, and goalkeeper Fernando. Cayo, formation 442, midfield diamond position, two strikers staggered back and forth, Leco is at the front, Chu Yang is more like a shadow striker.
This formation makes their defense in midfield look particularly thin, especially when captain Moya is extremely lacking in defensive ability and defensive awareness, and almost all the defensive pressure is pressed on the only defensive midfielder, Sampus, the young American will be one of the keys to the outcome of this game.
Of course, fans are obviously more concerned about the team's attacking line than the team's defense.
In La Liga and the World Cup Chu Yang can continue his magic, the Premier League's superstar Dennis. Can Joe be the second George. Lennon, whether Leco, who has been playing more and more sluggishly in Dortmund and the Spanish national team, can usher in the second spring of his career after returning to La Liga, etc., are the most concerned questions for fans.
The exclusive broadcast rights of La Liga have caused a bloody storm in China, CCTV, which had planned to give up La Liga, joined the competition again after the strong rise of Chuyang and became the final winner, the official Weibo has issued an announcement that from the warm-up match, CCTV5 will broadcast all the matches of Valencia this season.
"Hello audience friends, I am Duan Xiang, I am very happy to be able to explain this game for you, this is the first game of the season in Valencia, I believe that many friends in China are coming to Chuyang, and they may not be very clear about the Valencia team, please allow me to give you a brief introduction."
"Founded in 1919 in Valencia, Spain's third-largest city, this team is a long-established team with a long history, known as the 'White Ghost' because of its white shirt and white shorts."
"Valencia used to be one of the most famous teams in Europe, having won two Champions League runners-up, five La Liga titles, and is currently the fifth team with the most La Liga titles, although they were unexpectedly relegated in 1958, but soon returned to La Liga, fifteen years ago when the team was relegated again, people thought they would soon return to the top, who knew that they have been slumping ever since, and have been working hard in La Liga."
"Although it is a La Liga team, because of its long history and glorious past, they once had the number of fans in Spain second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, and even Levante, the rival of the same city in La Liga, and Villarreal, the regional rival, are difficult to ......."
Many people have always thought that Chu Yang played for a little-known small club, and many people questioned Xiao Luo's acquisition of a Spanish second division team with a large amount of money, but now when he heard Duan Xiang's introduction, he instantly understood what kind of existence this was.
To put it simply, the ancestors were wide, and it was not an ordinary wide, at least the existence of the top ten in the history of La Liga, although it is now down, but the low Yun is still there, which can be seen from the number of their fans and the club's hardware facilities.
The down-and-out aristocracy who was reborn from the ashes was undoubtedly more attractive than the unscrupulous rich man who got rich overnight, and a large number of so-called "ghost fans of twenty years" appeared in the country overnight.
The players began to play, and domestic fans saw Chu Yang's popularity in Valencia for the first time.
At least two-thirds of the Valencia fans in the stands wore Chu Yang's No. 9 jersey, and many wore T-shirts with Chu Yang's face printed on them, and there were earth-shattering cheers when Chu Yang walked out of the players' tunnel.
This is not only a recognition of Chu Yang's magical performance last season, but also the expectation of a group of fans who have been suppressed for more than ten years for heroes.
Standing up when the team was in danger, choosing to stick to it in the face of many temptations, and leading the team back to the top league as a dark horse with an almost savior attitude, Chu Yang undoubtedly satisfied all their fantasies about heroes.
This moment is the moment they have been waiting for fifteen years, and this person they have been looking for for fifteen years.
This is the second time that Chinese fans have been honored for being a Chinese footballer after Yang Shaotian, and this combination of pride and admiration has made them naturally regard Valencia as their home team, and watch the game from the very beginning.
Valencia kicked off first, and Chu Yang tested the attention of the opposing goalkeeper with a midfielder hanging shot as soon as he started.
Although the goal was not scored, the emotions of all the fans were mobilized, and an ordinary warm-up match was filled with the atmosphere of the Champions League final, leaving the players of Malaga baffled for a while.
Of course, they can't understand how hot a city's pent-up emotions for more than a decade can be once they erupt.
The purpose of the warm-up match was not to win the scoreline, but to find out the team's problems and prepare the players mentally and physically for the high-intensity confrontation of the new season, but this game seemed to have changed its flavor from the beginning, and the Valencia players were more and more excited as if they had played chicken blood.
Joe seems to be a threat on the right flank in order to prove that he is worthy of the high transfer fee and salary that Xiao Luo paid him, but perhaps because of his strong desire to perform, he seems a bit alone.
The fans cheered on his brilliant breakthrough, while his teammates and coaching staff were frustrated by his sticky ball.
At this time, it should be the captain or the old man in the team who stood up to teach him to be a man, but as the most valuable member of the team, Joe invisibly has a very high status, and even Moya, the captain, unconsciously weakened his momentum when standing in front of him.
On the one hand, it is because Joe is already a world-famous superstar, and on the other hand, it is also because of Moya's invisible inferiority complex.
He is one round older than the opponent, but Joe is already the absolute main force of England, and he has not even made it to the national team, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons for his lack of confidence.
No one found out that being selected for the national team has become Moya's biggest demon.
When Dennis. Qiao once again connected the two on the side, directly ignoring Chu Yang and Leco's running position and continued to choose to go it alone After being cut off, Chu Yang walked over.
There are some faults that you can't get used to.
