Chapter 251: Seven consecutive victories, some people rejoice and some hate
Ahead of the Christmas break, Valencia and Real Madrid are tied on 39 points. However, Real Madrid are at the top of the table on goal difference.
Even so, Valencia was outstanding.
They had an up-and-down run in the early stages of the league with frequent injuries, but then the team was on track.
Seven wins in a row moved them straight from third to second and pushed Deportivo La Coruna off by six points in third place in the league.
And Ronaldinho, who was still in a slump before, has also recovered, and his performance has been better than one game.
He also had a goal and an assist in the last round of the league and was voted Man of the Match.
On top of that, it was discovered that Ronaldinho's excellent performance was not based on his strong individual technical ability, but on the tactical basis of Valencia as a whole.
Critics, commentators and reporters alike were surprised to find that Ronaldinho, who had previously been somewhat incompatible with Valencia's tactics, was now a good fit for this tactic.
He's made a noticeably more pass, and he's got more dangerous passes.
He's got and created a lot more chances than he did before.
In fact, Ronaldinho himself feels the deepest.
Although when he first joined Valencia, tactics were one of the reasons he chose, and he also praised Valencia's tactics for being great. However, his understanding of Valencia's tactics was only superficial, and he was limited to the limited video footage he had seen, as well as the paraphrases of others.
What Valencia's tactics looked like, he didn't really know.
He thought it was just simple offensive football, passing the ball a little more.
As a result, it was only after he really integrated into the team's tactics that he really began to marvel at the subtlety and beauty of Valencia's tactics.
Everyone says that Barcelona football is the ancestor of tiki-taka, but Ronaldinho feels that Valencia's tiki-taka is the tiki-taka that best meets his expectations.
Continuous passing and inverted feet, everyone is running, non-stop running passing, passing the ball running. If you look at the game in Valencia from the air, it will feel like Valencia's football is not played by 11 people, but like flowing water carrying the football on the pitch.
At first, it was just a trickle, then it turned into a river, and finally it became a sea, which was already a great force that could swallow heaven and earth.
Therefore, the opponents who play against Valencia often feel very helpless - they obviously work hard, and they are no less than Valencia in terms of hard work, but they can't grasp the initiative, and they watch themselves being led by the nose by the opponent, and then lose the ball.
Once integrated into this tactic, Ronaldinho fell in love with it.
He now finally understands why Chang Sheng's self-confidence can help him win so many honors.
This set of tactics is so powerful in itself that it makes itself like a fish in water. Tactics can make you play better, and in turn, your good play can make tactics run more smoothly.
In the end, the snowball is getting bigger and bigger, crushing everything, and winning the championship is not an impossible thing.
If you win more championships, as the core and main force of the team, you will naturally have personal honors......
Ronaldinho, who understands this, is now very attentive, and he has to integrate more deeply into the team's tactics.
He also admired Chang Sheng more and more.
When Chang Sheng criticized him, although he agreed, it was more out of his own desire to get ahead and make a career in Valencia.
Now he began to feel that what Chang Sheng said was very reasonable, and he should listen to him.
As for the contradiction between himself and Chang Sheng, which was hyped by the media during that time, Ronaldinho laughed.
A head coach who trusts himself and has a level, why should he contradict him?
※※※
Chang Sheng also knew that the media hyped him and Ronaldinho.
At the time he was too lazy to respond.
This kind of thing, it's useless to respond.
Those who believe still believe, and those who don't believe say a thousand times that people don't believe it.
Anyway, as long as the media hype doesn't affect the team, the other wins don't matter.
As for whether Ronaldinho really has an opinion about himself, although Chang Sheng can't see people's hearts, he can understand this through other ways.
He used to scan Ronaldinho and found that the opponent's popularity had been slowly but steadily rising.
This shows that Xiao Luo's favorability towards himself is increasing.
Where is the contradiction?
In the last round of the league, Valencia beat Sevilla 2-0 at home, with Ronaldinho opening the scoring in the game.
It was his first goal since the goal against Barcelona.
Ten league games have been goal-drought.
If you count the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, that's sixteen games.
Sixteen games without scoring a goal, the pressure is really high for Ronaldinho, who plays as a striker.
Of course, this is also related to the tactical requirements that Chang Sheng has for him.
Chang Sheng has been limiting Ronaldinho's shots and making him a passer.
After polishing a few games like this, Ronaldinho's impetuosity is gone.
After that, Chang Sheng told him that he could open fire.
After two games of adaptation, Ronaldinho finally ended his goal drought before Christmas.
After the goal, Ronaldinho ran to the coach's bench and hugged the head coach Chang Sheng.
Use such a celebratory gesture to refute the rumors to the outside world - I have a good relationship with Chang Sheng, don't beep if you're fine!

The other piece of good news is that Vicente, who had been injured at the start of the season, is finally back after a long recovery period.
However, in less than half a season, Valencia has been suffering from injuries, although there are no major injuries, but various small injuries have emerged one after another, which has also made Chang Sheng have some headaches. It seems that his team has never had twenty-three people train together.
Today, Carvalho was injured in training and needed to rest for seven days, the day after tomorrow Reyes had a cold and fever and needed to rest for three days, and three days later Reyes and Carvalho returned to the team, Villa felt muscle discomfort again, and was ordered to stop training and go for a physiotherapy massage......
Chang Shengxin said that this is probably the power of that achievement mode.
But at the moment, they are all minor injuries, is the so-called injury pattern just like this?
It doesn't seem to be as terrifying as Lin Mo said......
If they are all minor injuries, although they will feel a little annoying, they will not affect the overall strength of the team, and they are not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and he can cope with them.
This is where the benefits of evenly equilibrium between the team's bench and main squad come in, with a player in each position in case of emergency.
I didn't expect it to be used this season.
The first team except for the third goalkeeper David. Aside from Ranger, everyone has been given the opportunity to play, and they have played quite a few times.

Valencia's results surprised many.
Because Valencia have experienced no less trouble this season. Injuries and turmoil at the club's top management can lead to a drop in results.
But this season, except for the first round of the league, everyone wins, the gap is not widened, Valencia is ranked tenth, and the other time the ranking is not lower than the top three.
Such performances have proven that Valencia, who have been winning perennially, are now a team with guaranteed results. Although they are not yet wealthy, they have the bearing of a wealthy family. That is, no matter what the situation, you can stay calm.
Of course, this has something to do with Chang Sheng's private training.
Even if such a team does not win the league title, many people think that Valencia will be the favourites to win the championship before the start of each season.
Soler is hell-bent on making Valencia the third pole of Spanish football. But now it seems that the winning team has the rudiments of the third pole.
Soler's ultimate goal has been initially achieved.
I don't know how Soler felt at this time......
Soler is one of those who is surprised.
He didn't expect the club to be in turmoil and the perennial winning team would not be affected......
Originally, he thought that the team would perform up and down under the leadership of Chang Sheng, and the results began to decline.
At that time, it will be much more reasonable for you not to renew the contract with Chang Sheng - you have led the team with such poor results, and you still expect to renew the contract? Dream on!
Who would have thought that the team that is now winning most of them is soaring in the league and has won seven in a row!
Tied with Real Madrid on 39 points.
This made Soler feel a little worried.
There seemed to be a vague and hazy feeling in his heart, and this feeling made him never feel at ease.
He's conflicted watching Valencia now.
He is a die-hard supporter of Valencia and no one can doubt his feelings for Valencia.
So he wants Valencia to win.
But...... Valencia has been winning and it has also embarrassed him.
He doesn't like to win, he never hides that.
He doesn't think Everwin is the only manager who can bring success to Valencia. There are so many managers in the world, can only a regular winner win?
So get rid of the constant win and find a manager who can also win the championship, Soler is not worried that if he goes to the constant win, Valencia will fall into the abyss.
It's just that Valencia, which is always winning, has been winning, and many in the media have even called it Valencia.
The title made him feel uncomfortable.
What is "Valencia of Victory"? Can a manager represent a team? This is Spain, not England!
It should be "Soler's Valencia".
The more successful Chang Sheng is, the more he hates and even fears Chang Sheng.
The so-called high merit and earthquake lord is what it means.
He was worried that his limelight would be robbed by Chang Sheng. At that time, people knew that there was a constant victory, but they didn't know that the actual controller of Valencia was he Juan. Soler.
Now Chang Sheng is already very domineering, and if he continues to succeed, I am afraid that he will not take himself as the chairman in his eyes.
Looking at Valencia, who have won back-to-back games, Soler is more and more determined to drive away the constant victory.
