Chapter 31: New Valencia

La Liga kicks off at the end of August and the beginning of September.

Valencia didn't win any titles last season, so naturally they don't have to prepare for any competitions like the UEFA Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, and they don't have to participate in the Champions League draw.

So Win has had a very full pre-season training camp, which is a good thing for his first season with Valencia.

His training plan can be carried out in its entirety without the risk of being disrupted in the middle of the process.

In August, the team flew to the United States for a week and a half of training and played two warm-up games against two American teams.

Both warm-up matches ended in victory for Valencia.

But the media and fans still don't understand what kind of football Valencia plays.

Because of the disruption of the starting line-up by the winning team, no one has been able to analyze what Valencia will become under the winning team and what the starting line-up will be through the warm-up games.

Chang Sheng did this, on the one hand, he deliberately concealed his true intentions, and on the other hand, he naturally hoped that more players could be integrated into this tactical system, so he wanted to let the substitute players play more games and confuse the difference between the main team and the substitute.

In fact, with the current staffing of Valencia, it is difficult to say clearly the difference between the main force and the substitute.

After all, Valencia is not a small team like Getafe, and it is very good to be able to put together a set of eleven people to play the main team.

Valencia has always been a team that has been fighting on two fronts before, and there are still personnel reserves that should be there, and there is also a sense of rotation.

Otherwise, how about Keeley. Gonzalez and Vicente, both left wingers, made a lot of appearances last season?

Now Valencia has been supplemented by regular wins, and the strength of the main and substitute lineups has been greatly improved.

They have three goalkeepers, of which the main player and the first substitute goalkeeper are familiar with each other.

The main goalkeeper is Canizares, which is the main goal of Spain. Substitute goalkeeper Palop. Chang Sheng is also familiar. Because later, when Sevilla won the League Cup for two consecutive years, Palop was the main goalkeeper of that Sevilla team. He also had a record of scoring goals in the league.

Today, Palop is twenty-seven years old. It was in the prime of a professional footballer, but unfortunately he had a Canizares on top of his head, so he had to continue to play as a substitute.

Palop is also quite tragic, as a native of Valencia, he once had the hope of representing Valencia in La Liga very early. But when he started his career in Valencia's academy in 1994 with the B team, Subisareta moved to Valencia, and for four years, Palop did not get a chance to establish himself in the first team.

When Subisareta retired in 1998, he thought his chance had come, but at this time Valencia bought Canizares. Until 2005, before moving to Sevilla. In six years, he played just forty-three league games for Valencia.

No way. Canizares is so awesome, and now he is only thirty-one years old, and he is at the most mature time for a goalkeeper. How could Palop win the Spanish nation?

Chang Sheng knew that he would be very good in the future, but now Palop still seems to be incapable and inexperienced. Lack of confidence.

Three deficiencies are fatal enough. The reason for winning in the goalkeeper position is more to trust the experienced veteran than a substitute goalkeeper, although the substitute goalkeeper is actually not small. Of course, it is not ruled out that in some non-inconsequential games, Chang Sheng will send Palop to play.

Another goalkeeper, David. Ranger is even younger, only 22 years old this year, and he was drawn from the B team. If nothing else, he probably won't be able to play for the rest of the season.

In central defence, Valencia, who have won perennially, have Ayala, Carvalho and Pellegrino. and David, who has been promoted from Team B for a long time. Navarro. Ayala and Carvalho and Manuel Pellegrino all have the ability to play in the main line, but the winning tends to have Carvalho and Ayala play at centre-back, with the 29-year-old Pellegrino on the bench and ready to play at any time.

Navarro was found by the winner when he was browsing the list of the B team.

At first, Chang Sheng felt that he had picked up a treasure, and he thought it was Navarro, the main central defender and captain of Sevilla later.

But he soon found out that something was wrong. Because this is David. Navarro, and the captain of Sevilla in his impression is Xavi. Navarro. The names are all different.

About this David. Navarro, who is often victorious, is perhaps most impressed by Inter Milan's meeting Valencia in the knockout round of the '07 Champions League.

After the end of the game, there was a clash between players from Inter Milan and Valencia. It's just an ordinary conflict, and everyone has seen a lot of such conflicts. Inter Milan's Burdisso and Valencia's Marchena got into an altercation, and players from both sides rushed up, but they went up to fight.

It was at this point that Navarro, who had been on the bench and had not played for the whole game, seemed to have finally found a way to vent his energy - he rushed straight to the pitch and punched Burdisso, which not only aimed at the bridge of the Argentine's nose, but also provoked the anger of the Inter Milan crowd.

However, Navarro then showed pace and agility that did not match his centre-back position, and he came out of the layers of Inter Milan players to get back to the bench unharmed, despite a flying tackle from McCann......

This incident impressed Chang Sheng deeply, especially Navarro's speed and agility along the way.

So Chang Sheng decided to move the 21-year-old into the first team and learn slowly from the bench. With Ayala, Carvalho and Pellegrino in competition, it is unlikely that they will be the main players, but it is okay to be a qualified substitute.

Valencia have a lot of options at right-back, including veteran Angeloma and Kuro who has returned to the team after his loan spell at Tenerife. Ferres, and then Ferreira, who was brought in from Setúbal by Victorious.

Angeloma is an experienced player who has been the team's first-choice right-back before. However, after Ferreira's arrival, he may have to gradually adjust to his life on the bench.

Kuro. Torres is also a qualified substitute. He played 39 league games for Tenerife last season and has no problem in terms of experience.

The left-back didn't add players because he felt it was enough. There are veterans Carboni and Fabio. Aurelio, and Harvey. Palats.

Carboni is too old to be able to continue to play in the main team. Aurelio will be righted to the main position by the perennial victory.

He played just seven league games last season and was a substitute for Carboni. The positions of the two will be changed in the new season.

Aurelio went on to play for Liverpool, but he didn't play too many games due to injury. In Valencia he was outstanding. He is a typical Brazilian full-back with excellent assists and average defensiveness.

The configuration of the two full-backs is quite in line with the set of the regular wins in Getafe. One full-back focuses on attack, while the other focuses on defence.

There are also three people in the midfield position, Baraja, Albelda and Pep Guardiola.

This is really no difference between the main force and the substitute, anyone can play the main force, but when Baraja and Albelda are combined, they tend to be defensive, and the defense is very tough.

If either of these two had partnered with Pep Guardiola, the team might have been a little more imaginative in attack.

It's a variable, and it's a constant win because it makes your team's tactics more unpredictable.

In the central midfield position there is Romanian international Dennis. Serban and Aimaar. In the winning 4231, there is a need for people in the forward position, and now it looks like Aimmar. Dennis. Serban is not capable, and Chang Sheng intends to use it as a substitute.

On the right flank, Mendieta is the only one in the team, and Win intends to use Serban as a substitute on this side at the same time, while Angulo can also play on this side. This solves the problem of substitutions here.

In addition, Angulo can also play as a striker, so there is also a substitute for the striker.

On the left side walked Keeley. Gonzalez, but with Vicente, he is an absolute workhorse. Reyes can only start as a substitute.

Up front, Valencia now have Ibrahimovic, Villa and Kalou, while Angulu can also be considered a striker.

Four strikers, enough for it.

You must know that Chang Win plays as a single striker.

Four strikers is already a lot......

Angulo just asked him to hit Mendieta's bench.

Kaluma...... The team always has to prepare an extra set of tactics, not just one set of tactics. The second set of tactics that Chang Sheng prepared for Valencia was a typical defensive counter-attack, which he was most familiar with and that Valencia was most familiar with.

In defensive counter-attacks, Karui may be used sometimes.

Anyway, Karui has a good temper, even if he is asked to play as a substitute, he has no complaints.

That's all the winning hands so far.

If nothing else, he'll have to play an entire season with this lineup.

For Chang Sheng, this squad is already very strong, a hundred times stronger than when he was in charge of Getafe.

After more than a month of training in retreat, he is now eager for the new season to begin.

He wants to test his tactics with real actual combat, and those warm-up games played before the season are not worth winning at all.

Winning 1000:0 in the warm-up game doesn't mean anything to him.

However, before the start of the official league, Changsheng has another thing to deal with.

If he doesn't handle it properly, he will feel like he is walking on the road to winning the championship with a time bomb, and if the bomb explodes, he will be doomed with it.

That's it...... He's going to have to talk to Mendieta, the captain of the team.
