After Chang Sheng and Pep Guardiola explained the tactics to the players, Valencia's tactical training officially began.

But before that, Chang Sheng talked to Deco alone.

He wants Deco to play in Valencia as a central midfielder, not the forward midfielder he is familiar with.

Deco was surprised by the manager's request.

When he came to Valencia, he thought he would still play in the familiar position of Porto, Aimar is gone, and Valencia is just one less striker.

Who would have thought that the manager would let him play in the back......

He was embarrassed: "I don't know anything about the back, sir......"

"No need to understand, Anderson. You just have to move what you've done in the forward position to the back position. How to do it, our coaching team will think it through for you and then help you do it. I just hope you're mentally prepared. I didn't bring you to Valencia to let you play the main ......"

Hearing this, Deco's heart tightened - not to play the main force? That's to play as a substitute, right?

Come and play as a substitute, who wants to!

He was close to hearing Chang Sheng say, "It's for you to play the core!" ”

Deco was stunned: "Core? ”

Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, core." ”

He took out a disc from the drawer and handed it to Deco: "This is a highlight of Pep Guardiola's performance on the pitch in Valencia last season, I want you to go back and take a good look." What Pep Guardiola has done is what I want you to do. ”

"I want you to be Valencia's engine, a guarantee that Valencia can run at high speeds. Of course, if you can't do it, I'll find someone else. ”

In the end, Chang Sheng said.

When Deco left the office, he was still a little confused - he was going to be the heart of Valencia?

He looked down at the disc in his hand, as if it contained some secret to success.

※※※

Media and fans who follow Valencia can learn about the progress of Valencia's preparations for the new season from the warm-up matches.

What kept them on their radar was the new formation that Valencia used in the warm-up matches.

433。

Chang Sheng did not hide it, nor did he deliberately mislead reporters and media.

He thinks that his tiki-taka is a tactic that is ahead of its time, and even if the other party sees it, he can't crack it, so he doesn't need to be too mysterious.

The formations have changed. Naturally, people do not know the main squad of Valencia for the new season.

In the warm-up games, the rotation of the winning game is very ordinary, the starting lineup is different for each game, and all 11 starters are bound to be replaced at halftime.

He wants every player to be able to integrate into the system as soon as possible, no matter who is missing. The system is all functioning properly.

But sharp-eyed reporters still found some clues.

For example, Deco was deployed in the midfield position. And not his familiar forward midfield.

Let Deco play at the back?

What does that mean?

Journalists don't understand.

Like Deco, they thought that Deco had been bought in order for him to take Aimar's place. I didn't expect that this was not a counterpoint substitution, but a reversal.

In fact, Valencia's main lineup has not changed much compared to last season, after all, this lineup has proven their ability and tacit understanding last season. There's no need to completely break up and start over. Therefore, Changsheng has not bought anyone this season, mainly to supplement the depth of the bench, Cambiasso, Mista and Arbelloa are all positioned as rotation players, and only Deco should be the main force.

The advantage of this is that the integrity of the squad is guaranteed, and this season Valencia's players will have to adapt to the new formation. Adapting to too many new teammates will only add to the confusion in your preparation.

Judging from the first warm-up game, the players still didn't seem to be very comfortable with the new formation, and there was some lag between passing and running.

After all, they never played 433 last season.

However, from the second warm-up game, the improvement of the players can be seen.

The media began to marvel at how quickly Valencia became familiar with the new formation.

Then they remembered that it seems that in teams that win often, this kind of thing often happens. It's something that no one else can do, but in the end they all do.

For example, in the Copa del Rey final against Mallorca, no one could have imagined that Getafe would be able to take only a week. Getafe, who had never been exposed to tiki-taka tactics before, learned tiki-taka, which was surprising enough, although it was only scratching the surface. It was with this tactic that no one could have imagined that Getafe defeated Mallorca and lifted the first Copa del Rey in their club's history.

Then he only had one more pre-season training session. So Valencia, who has been playing defensive counterattacks, learned his so-called mad dog tactics.

Looking at Valencia's performance in the new formation, it makes one wonder if the Oriental has cast some magic.

But this is obviously impossible, so the media began to dig deep into the reasons behind this.

They soon discovered a common denominator in these events.

That is, whether in Getafe or Valencia, there is always a person who seems to be particularly low-key around Chang Sheng - Rudy. Gonzalez.

Then keep digging deeper. Discover this Rudy. Gonzalez used to be the coach of Getafe and also served as the acting head coach of a game. However, his Getafe team was beaten 0-5 by Atletico Madrid B, so he only had one manager's life. Then Chang Sheng took over, and he became Chang Sheng's assistant coach.

Later, Chang Sheng had a manager who was banned for two games, and the person who acted as the commander of the game was still this Rudy. Gonzalez, but he screwed up anyway. The local media in Getafe at the time also analyzed why Rudy. Gonzalez was not fit to be a head coach, concluding that he couldn't handle the pressure of being a head coach because his mental qualities were too poor.

Keep digging and find Rudy. Gonzalez had a conflict with Chang Sheng, and when Chang Sheng first joined the first team of Getafe, the relationship between the two was not particularly good.

But why did the relationship between the two people get good enough to wear a pair of pants later?

The media researched and came to a conclusion. Gonzalez's training ability is good, and it's not average, it's very good.

In fact, the team that wins every day is indeed Rudy. Gonzalez was in charge.

So it's easy for the media to come to the conclusion that behind the magic of Chang Sheng, it's this Rudy. Credit to Gonzalez.

In fact, there is nothing magical about winning constantly, the key is this Rudy. Gonzalez is so good that he can design a training plan that allows his players to build up quickly in a short period of time.

He was personally in charge of the training. Whether it's at Getafe or Valencia, that's what the team does.

“…… We've been keeping our eyes on Chang Sheng, but it's actually the low-key assistant coach Rudy who is behind the team. Gonzalez! ”

"The media always advertise that Valencia can win the league with the most important thing, but in reality there are other people......

For a time Rudy. Gonzalez has been hyped up as the real hero behind the "myth of victory". It became the most important task for the rise of Getafe and Valencia. It is the secret of the success of Changsheng.

And then when these reporters came in droves, they came to interview Rudy. Gonzalez didn't know what was going on at the time when Rudy. Gonzalez looked confused: "What are you talking about?" ”

When he heard the reporters' explanations clearly, he couldn't help laughing: "Are you all right?" Would you like to go to the hospital to see your brains? ”

A group of reporters looked at each other, not understanding why Rudy. Gonzalez would say so.

They report Rudy. Gonzalez's deeds. It is hoped that Rudy's merits will be promoted, so that such a good talent as him will not be buried.

For Rudy. Gonzalez, that's a good thing. Why Rudy. Gonzalez didn't look happy at all?

And he talks so harshly, it's the same as that Chang Sheng...... What "do you want to go to the hospital to see your brains"? Is this a kind word? Is this the attitude towards journalists who come with good intentions?

I was surprised to see the reporters, Rudy. Gonzalez sighed. Then he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you...... That's right, I'll admit that I was the one behind the success of Chang's team! ”

A scorching light flashed in the eyes of the reporters in an instant.

He confessed!

Rudy. As long as Gonzalez admits it, they can unmask the hypocrite who often wins with fame and fortune at the same time.

So they pricked up their ears and listened very intently to Rudy. Gonzalez's next words.

Several pairs of eyes were staring at Rudy. Gonzalez, not letting go of any of his expression changes.

I saw Rudy. Gonzalez looked around for a moment before he mysteriously approached the reporters, lowered his voice and said, "Since you've all found out, I'll tell you the truth...... Actually. I'm a magician......"

"Huh?" A reporter suddenly heard such an unexpected answer, and couldn't help but scream.

Rudy. Gonzalez hurriedly put his hand to his mouth and shut up: "Shhh Be quiet! Do you want me to be burned to death?! He looked angry.

But he continued.

"I'm a magician...... I use magic to help him achieve his goals. He just needs to tell me the goal of his training, such as tiki-taka in a week, and I'll use magic to do it! That's it! Actually, a second is fine. A week is just a deliberate trick I set up for fear of being too shocking......"

"Actually, you don't have to just train, the results of those games are all manipulated by me with magic...... So why can Valencia beat Real Madrid home and away, and can also snatch the Copa del Rey that Real Madrid is looking at at the Bernabeu? Just because I'm in the coach's seat! Magic fingers. We've won! Otherwise, do you think that the rookie rookie with no experience and prestige can lead Getafe to relegation when he has only taken over the team for ten games? And how could it be possible to lead Getafe to promotion in the first full season. And win the league and the Copa del Rey? Or a home and away double against Atletico Madrid? Don't talk nonsense, there are so many incredible things, haven't you ever doubted it? Don't you think that's abnormal? You didn't think about it, why did it happen? ”

After a series of rhetorical questions, Rudy. Gonzalez held his head high and said, "It's easy, because of me, the white-robed wizard Rudy. Gonzalez! ”

"Don't tell you what I'm telling you today...... I don't think it's easy for you to get to the edge of the truth...... That's why I'm telling you, "Don't let me down...... Of course, if you do want to make it public, I don't mind showing you the power of a white-robed wizard! ”

With all said and done, Rudy. Gonzalez turned away with a cold face, looking like a master.

The group of reporters who stayed behind looked at each other for a long time, and then someone tentatively asked, "I said...... Isn't he playing tricks on us? ”

"! Of course he's playing a trick on us! Did you know that? ”

"Who believes this kind of nonsense!"

"What a bullshit white-robed wizard, fuck, he's watched too much of The Lord of the Rings, right?!"

The reporters seemed to come to life together, and they rushed to Rudy. Gonzalez swore in the background of the walk.

As if he was really a white-robed wizard, Rudy who walked away. Gonzalez seemed to hear the reporters, and he suddenly turned around and pointed at the group of reporters.

The reporter who was scolding immediately shut up, as if he was really afraid of the white-robed wizard Rudy. Gonzalez's magic......
