Chapter 53: October

The September race is over, and the October race is on the way.

As a head coach, you have to have a strategic vision of the whole picture, and when you specify a training plan, you can't just see the opponent for the next game.

Otherwise, what if you use all your strength here in the next match, and then the next opponent is a stronger enemy?

Therefore, the smallest unit of the head coach's training plan is the week, but the most basic unit is the month.

A monthly training plan is very important.

First of all, as a head coach, you have to know what games the team will play in the coming month, domestic leagues, domestic cups, and if there are European games, you should also take them into account.

Then analyze them one by one - which games must be kept, which games can be abandoned, which games can only be used to achieve 50 percent, which games have to be given all out, which games have to be played extraordinarily.

These are all things to take into account as a head coach. Then tailor the training plan for the month based on these circumstances to ensure that the team's form can reach its peak in the big games, and not waste it too early in the less important games or even the ones that need to be abandoned.

Valencia have five domestic league games in October, one Copa del Rey and one UEFA Cup tie.

In the sixth round, on October 4, Valencia took on Celta Vigo away.

On October 7, in the seventh round of the league, Valencia hosted the "yellow submarine" Villarreal.

On October 11, in the first round of the Copa del Rey, Valencia challenged Luvida away.

On October 14, in the eighth round of the league, Valencia challenged Barcelona away.

October 19, the first leg of the second round of the League Cup. Valencia have to travel to take on Legia Warsaw in the Polish First Division.

Ninth round, October 21. Valencia hosts Zaragoza.

In the tenth round, on October 28, Valencia played Sevilla away.

Then analyze which games you have to hold on to and which ones you can give up.

The Copa del Rey should be the first game to be abandoned, and the winner of this game will definitely not send the main players to play, because unfortunately three days after this game, it will be the highlight of Valencia's away challenge against Barcelona.

But Chang Sheng doesn't intend to really give up the Copa del Rey, he won't choose to play the main team, not because he wants to give up. Rather, I feel that Lu Weida is such an opponent. There is no need for Valencia to play with all the main forces.

Give the substitutes more chances, and maybe they will get better results.

This season, Chang Win does not intend to give up the Copa del Rey.

Although he won the Copa del Rey last season, the honour is not as appealing to him as it once was.

But he still wants to win the Copa del Rey this season.

Because if he's not mistaken, this season's Copa del Rey final should have been set at Real Madrid's home stadium, the Bernabeu. Real Madrid also reached the final.

Why did Real Madrid look for the Santiago Bernabeu as the venue for the Copa del Rey final?

Quite simply, they wanted to celebrate the centenary of the team with a Copa del Rey title. What's better than winning the Copa del Rey on your home turf?

The Copa del Rey is not the most important title, but it is significant because the final can be set at the Bernabeu.

So when Real Madrid reached the final of the Copa del Rey, they applied to the Spanish Football Federation to place the final venue at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Although Deportivo La Coruna has protested, but his arms can't twist his thighs, in Spanish football, Real Madrid's power and influence are much greater than Deportivo La Coruna's.

The Spanish Football Federation also understood Real Madrid's good intentions in setting the final venue at the Bernabeu, so it dismissed Deportivo La Coruna's protest. Real Madrid's application was approved.

Real Madrid were well prepared, but in the Copa del Rey final, they lost 1-2 to Deportivo La Coruna, allowing Super Laco to spoil their centennial celebrations......

What Chang Sheng intends to do now is to replicate Deportivo La Coruna's approach and replace Deportivo La Coruna at the Bernabeu. And then...... Smash Real Madrid's centennial celebrations!

Therefore, he will not give up the Copa del Rey no matter what.

※※※

The Copa del Rey will not be abandoned, and the League Cup will not be abandoned. However, the strength of the opponent in the League Cup is not strong, although it is an away game, but the winning refers to the situation in the first round of the League Cup, he decided to play as a substitute, I believe that he can win the opponent.

Looking at the league next, the game against Barcelona is a strong dialogue, and for many fans, this must be a game that must be focused on preparation.

But it's not that simple for a manager.

If Real Madrid is coached by Chang Sheng, then he will definitely be desperate for this game against Barcelona.

Because this is hatred, hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow and is integrated into the blood.

But there is no such relationship between Valencia and Barcelona.

Speaking of which, Valencia and Barcelona are still in the same faction. Even the language is very similar in both places.

Maybe Chang Sheng will not be used to Barcelona, but he sacrificed other games to fight such a game that I don't know if I can fight. What will Valencia fans think of themselves? What will the media think of themselves?

I'm afraid I'll think I'm going to be crazy, right?

And there are several unfavorable factors in this game, so Chang Sheng has to seriously consider whether to give up this game.

First of all, it's away from home, and it's very difficult to play Barcelona away from home. Secondly, Baraja was injured, and there was one less person in the back, and then Guardiola could not play because of the contract regulations.

It can be said that in the back midfield, the most important position of Changsheng, Albelda is the only one who can be used.

How does this spell with Barcelona?

So Chang Sheng thought about it and drew a cross in this game in Barcelona.

Abandon.

Even if you lose to Barcelona, it's just one game. As long as you can win a few other games, you can also lift the top of the league table.

As for Barcelona...... Of course, Chang Sheng does not mean that he will have to go around when he sees the other party in the future, and when he is strong, he will definitely ask Barcelona for advice again.

※※※

Against Celta, Valencia will have to give it their all. It's away from home, after all. But Chang Sheng didn't see Celta as a formidable opponent, but as an ordinary enemy.

It's amazing to say. Just nine months ago. When his Getafe met Celta in the Copa del Rey, he racked his brains to beat Celta, and he did not hesitate to deceive his players and put on a play with the coaches. It was so hard, and it was not easy to win in the end.

And now, he doesn't think there's anything remarkable about Celta, even though they are currently third in the league. The only problem is that Celta are at home.

And away games, Valencia's performance has always been bad.

This is the only thing he is worried about, but this little worry is not enough for him to rely on acting to deceive his own people and deceive his opponents.

It's a real competition. What tricks are there for everyone to use. See who wins in the end!

Another match that will require all your strength is the seventh round that follows on. Villarreal at home.

Villarreal have also started the season well, with four wins and one defeat in five league games, placing them second behind Valencia, who have won four and drawn one.

If nothing else, it could be a game that will decide who is the top of the league.

Valencia's advantage in this game is at home.

Spanish football. The difference between home and away is clear.

Except for these two games, there is no need to ask too much for the other games, and there is not much suspense about winning.

After having such an impression of this month's game, Chang Sheng began to worry about the coaches and held a meeting to discuss the training plan.

Now Chang Sheng no longer writes the training plan himself, he calls everyone together for a meeting, and then talks about his requirements, brainstorms, and everyone discusses. Finally by Rudy. Gonzalez came to compile the various opinions and write a report.

Just like Chang Sheng himself said - those who can work harder.

Rudy. Gonzalez's time at Getafe was nothing less than he said that he was more capable than Chang Sheng, knew more and was at a higher level. Now it's okay, take yourself to the ditch, and Chang Sheng justifiably handed everything over to him.

Before Chang Sheng, he was also in charge of tactical training. Now there is Pep Guardiola in tactical training. He even became a hands-off shopkeeper and really began to coordinate the overall situation.

※※※

The match against Celta de Vigo was not long in coming.

Before the game, Chang Sheng received a new task - four consecutive wins.

Ask him to go to the first four-game winning streak of the new season.

Before that, he had already completed another task, which was a series of four consecutive victories - three consecutive victories!

After winning three in a row, you will gain 500,000 XP, 300 Fame, and 200 Energy.

These three hundred points of prestige have made his overall popularity in Valencia friendly.

In addition to this, there is a training skill.

This is the skill that Chang Sheng needs the most, because the focus of his training is now on tactical training. So after getting it, Chang Sheng directly used this skill, which happened to be used in the preparation for Celta.

And the difficulty of winning four in a row is greater than that of three consecutive wins, and the mission rewards are naturally better. 800,000 experience, 600 prestige, 300 energy. There are also two training skills. And. They are all Lin Mo's skills when he was at level two, but for the current victory, they are better than the skills of level three.

These skills are exactly what Chang Sheng needs, so it is equivalent to changing direction to strengthen Chang Sheng's determination to win this game.

After Lin Mo's third level, there are not many competition skills, but there are a lot of training skills that can be given, which is exactly what is needed to win.

Anyway, after Lin Mo was upgraded, the game skill bar did not increase, it was still two, and so many game skills could only be put two in one game, what's the point?

It's better to train skills and give more. He's breaking new ground in Valencia now, even the tactics are new, and it's just when a lot of training is needed.

These various training skills can save him a lot of things, and can also allow him to get twice the result with half the effort.

And as if he knew what he needed, these training skills were very much in line with his own tactics.

For example, this skill can increase a player's ability to play in an offensive position for a short period of time, by 10%, for a week, or after the match is over.

Another example is to appoint two players to participate and improve their abilities for a period of one month.

, designate two players to participate, improve their abilities, and be valid for one month.

, designate two players to participate, improve their abilities, and be valid for one month.

Aren't these skills exactly the qualities needed for his "mad dog" tactics?

It seems that even the system wants him to play this kind of offensive tactic of controlling the ball......
