Chapter 37: Valencia is different from before

When the game began, there was a deafening uproar at the Mestalla Stadium.

This is the pressure that Valencia fans put on Real Madrid.

It's a little trick that fans do.

Although they are not very optimistic that their team can beat Real Madrid, there is still something to be done.

In addition, these Valencia fans have another layer of thought, which is to show their strength to the permanent winners.

You know, a team like Valencia is not something that can be coached by any cat or dog.

You dare to coach in Valencia without two brushes?

The fans are going to give him a dismissal.

Look at the head coach of a small team coming to Valencia, under our prestige, he will definitely be overwhelmed, right?

It's a pity that they were disappointed.

Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines, expressionless, he didn't even glance at the stands, but just stared intently at the court.

The game is going on, and he has been working hard for a summer of tactics, has it paid off?

In fact, he shouldn't have such doubts.

Because he used a lot of training skills to help the team get used to the tactics, he has received good feedback from his daily training and warm-up games.

But after all, it's a data-based thing, and the warm-up games are not representative.

The most important thing is whether the players can bring out what they are training for.

You know, their opponent is Real Madrid.

After only watching it for five minutes, Chang Sheng's heart settled down a little.

Because he found that the players were still quite decent.

They weren't intimidated by their opponents, and they weren't restrained just because it was the opener.

The intense physical training of the pre-season training camp played a role.

Physical training is not only about the physical fitness of the players, but also about the discipline of the players.

Players who can survive that kind of training are also good in terms of discipline in executing tactics.

Every player is running on the pitch.

The distance between the players is not large, which allows them to pass and run easily.

The game started with them kicking off and the football was firmly controlled by the Valencia players.

Commentator Fernando, the commentator of the game. Morn. Sanchis didn't get used to it at first.

He also commented on the game with his impressions of Valencia from last season.

But he soon discovered that Valencia was playing differently than last season.

Last season they conceded possession, solidified the backline and slowly maneuvered with the opposition.

How can you keep the football firmly under your feet like now, and pass the running position back and forth.

Those who look at it are dazzled......

Then he reacted - this team is a perennial winner. Isn't that the same tactic he used in the Copa del Rey final?

The Copa del Rey final was not explained by Moen, but he watched this game, and the repercussions caused by this game among professional football people were also very large.

Everyone is talking about what this kind of tiki-taka is completely different from the tiki-taka in Barcelona.

It looks like it's all passing, running and possession.

But why does the perennial tiki-taka look better than the barcelona's tiki-taka? And the improvement of the team's strength is also very obvious.

Let such a weak team as Getafe rely on this tactic to defeat Mallorca, the third in La Liga, 3-1 in the Copa del Rey final, and lift the Copa del Rey.

You can add the power of this set of tactics.

Unexpectedly, he actually transplanted this tactic to Valencia......

And judging from the performance of Valencia's players now, it is still decent...... Apparently more mature than Getafe had been.

"This ...... This is tiki-taka! Morn exclaimed.

After the Copa del Rey final, Mallorca coach Aragonés spoke to reporters about the winning tactic, which he named tiki-taka.

Just like when he was later given such a name by a journalist for the Spanish national team.

That's why now everyone calls it Chang Sheng's tactics that emphasize running and passing.

※※※

Bosque sat in the dugout, also looking at the pitch with a stern expression.

He wasn't surprised by Valencia's tiki-taka, which was different from what he saw in the Copa del Rey final.

At first glance, though, both are the same. It's all about running, passing, and catching.

But...... The tiki-taka in Valencia seems to be faster than the tiki-taka in Getafe?

Bosque wasn't sure, after all, he had only watched the game for a few minutes.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chang Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, who was said to be not yet thirty years old.

How many strange things do such a young manager have in his head that surprise us......

Bosque remembered yesterday's handshake with him, and what was said.

He didn't care what Chang Sheng said in the press conference afterwards, he thought it was just psychological warfare, and any manager would talk about it, even an honest guy like him.

It seems that this game will indeed be a good game......

※※※

For five minutes, for five full minutes, Valencia didn't have a single shot on goal.

They just keep running, passing, receiving, passing, and running...... And so on and so forth.

And Real Madrid's backline is a little confused in the face of such a Valencia. It's completely different from the Valencia they're used to.

If I had to describe it......

The current Real Madrid players feel that they are not facing Valencia players, but a large group of black bats that are elusive, flying around, and looking like they are just flying around in the air......

Obviously, he saw that the bat was flying towards him, and when he reached out to catch it, the other party suddenly changed direction and turned to the other side, allowing himself to catch a void!

Baraja was still in the center circle when he received the ball just now, and the next second he disappeared after passing the ball.

When I saw him again, he was already in the ribs, and he was pushing forward ten meters.

It's not just Baraja, it's almost all Valencia players.

In fact, not only the Real Madrid players were surprised, but the Valencia players were also shocked in their hearts during the game.

Although they practiced for a summer, although they also practiced such tactics in four warm-up games. But the constant wins in those four warm-up games deliberately disrupted the configuration of players and allowed them to combine at will, which actually had no effect at all.

This is the first time that this tactic has been played as the main lineup.

They found out that the effect was surprising!

So far, they haven't had a shot on goal, but Real Madrid are overwhelmed by their possession and passing tactics, so they can only defend back.

In the past, they played defensive counter-attacks, most of the time it was the opposition who had the ball, and at this time they were always on the lookout.

But now, when they control the football on their side, whether it is passing forward or backward, they feel very relieved and safe. It's as if you are at your feet, so you don't have to worry about losing the ball.

In fact, football is also risky at their feet. If the opponent pounces on the ball and they lose the ball, it will be a disaster.

But the winning tactics also take this into account, so he tells every player that the most important thing is not to be strong.

If it's not right, don't think you can break out of a circle of several people, go into the box single-handedly, and score. Once you have that thought, football is really in a very dangerous situation, and the whole team will be scared along with you.

If you find something wrong, the easiest and safest way is to pass the football to the person who is closest to you and the best to pass it.

Unless you can make a mistake in passing the ball, in which case the crisis is usually resolved.

When explaining the tactics, some players asked: "What if the opponent continues to press the next passer?" ”

Chang Sheng's answer was "keep preaching".

Keep passing, sending it back or passing it to the side, or even ...... Forward Forward!

This set of tactics is to hope that the opponent will press up, and as soon as they press, the formation will be chaotic, and there will be a lot of gaps of different sizes in the back line.

And the requirement of Changsheng for Valencia players is to keep their eyes on the front and look for loopholes in the opponent in the continuous passing. As soon as the opportunity is taken, pass the football over immediately, and suddenly change the rhythm to deliver a fatal blow!

So the most important thing about this tactic is to get the football around.

Pass it on, and you have a chance.

Don't rush to shoot, rush to finish an attack, far from keeping the football under your feet, be patient and wait for your chance.

As long as the football is still at the feet, there is a moment when it translates into a shot or even a goal. But if you shoot in a hurry and give possession to the opponent, then you have to go on the defence right away.

At first, Valencia's players were just trying to do it.

But five minutes passed, and they found a lot to be done.

First of all, the football was always at their feet, and Real Madrid could only choose to defend, and their striking blades were forced to put away. This was rare before.

Secondly, by this way of passing back and forth, they are also observing. They found that Real Madrid's backline made a couple of mistakes in the process of moving up. If they were a little bolder, they might be able to go straight to the Yellow Dragon......

At this time, they have more confidence in Chang Sheng's tactics, and there is a lot less resistance to Chang Sheng's words in their hearts......

They went back and forth for a minute. From the left to the right, from the right back to the back, from the back to the front, and finally to the feet of Aimar.

The Argentine "Joker" is a natural striker, an excellent playmaker. He had as many as seventy-five and ninety-seven, and eighty more. This is quite important.

Because it represents a player's ability to make the right decisions most of the time. It's an attribute that is important for every player, especially for the centre-backs and midfielders, because they have a lot of options and they have to make the right one.

The centre-backs make the right one to secure the goal, while a midfielder like Aimar makes the right choice to ...... The team can get a good shot on goal!

In contrast, this technical attribute is less important.

Because in the ever-winning "mad dog" tactic, the player's position determines that he does not need to make any too thrilling and imaginative passes, maybe just a simple push, about fifteen meters, is enough for his teammates to receive the ball in a very comfortable place.

As a striker, a last-ditch pass, he just needs to be good. Make it easier for him to find a vacancy.

He didn't find the vacancy, but he found Pavon.

He remembers the pre-win advice - defeat Pavon!

So he passed the ball to the area that Pavon was responsible for, which was also the area that Ibrahimovic was responsible for.

After a summer of training and contact observations, the 19-year-old Swede of the Aymar team really admired the technique.

At the beginning, when Ibrahimovic came to the team, everyone thought that this tall center forward must be Kalou's, so they didn't understand why Chang Sheng had to buy Ibrahimovic when he already had Kalou, and he bought it at the highest price in the team's transfer period this summer.

But when Ibrahimovic showed what he was capable of in training, a lot of people were convinced.

People do have a reason to be worth the price.

His foot skills are simply better than many short people.

In terms of technique, Aimar feels that Ibrahimovic is on par with himself, but considering his height...... Aimar thinks that if he is the same height as Ibrahimovic, he will certainly not be as good as Ibrahimovic's footwork.

Ibrahimovic stretched his long leg and received a pass from Aymall.

At the same time, he was close to Pavon.

He thought of what Chang Sheng had said.

Defeat Pavon?

I like it!

"Bastard" Ibrahimovic had an excited smile on his face.
