Chapter 242: Ronaldinho descended from the gods
There was a wave of injuries at the start of the season and the adaptation of new players was not as smooth as one might think.
Ronaldinho is still playing more of his talents, rather than organically integrating with tactics.
Although his performance looked good, and he scored goals and assisted, Chang Sheng's brow never relaxed.
At the end of September, Valencia had played a total of five league games, and the results still looked very good, with four wins, one draw, one unbeaten game, ten goals scored, one goal conceded, and a goal difference of nine, accumulating 13 points and ranking first in the league.
Such a performance has made many people feel that Valencia are still serious contenders for the league title this season.
It's that Valencia is optimistic about the future.
But Chang Sheng doesn't see it that way.
Although these five league games have been won, many of them won 3-0 away at Atletico Madrid and 2-0 at home against Real Madrid.
Chang Sheng is not satisfied.
Because he knows how these four wins and one draw came about.
It's not about the tactics of the whole team, it's about the individual strength of the stars.
Ronaldinho has two goals and two assists in the league. There is an assist in the Champions League. While the data may seem insignificant, the most useful ones are very obvious.
Especially in the fifth round of the league, Valencia hosted Real Madrid, Ronaldinho used his personal skills in the first three minutes to get rid of the defense in the penalty area densely packed with defenders, shook off the shot, and then shot with his feet.
The shot was so hidden that Casillas didn't react and the ball flew into the corner of the goal.
This is the perfect embodiment of Ronaldinho's individual ability, and it has nothing to do with tactics.
The previous tactics did not play a role in helping Ronaldinho to open up the void, or Ronaldinho did not wait for the tactics to play at all, he just went it alone.
There have been a lot of cases in these games.
Ronaldinho relied more on individual skills. He seems to be very confident in his personal skills.
Although he does have the capital of self-confidence, because he is always able to get rid of the defense.
But Chang Sheng doesn't want to see Ronaldinho like this. What he wants to see is Ronaldinho who can put his talent and imagination into the overall strategy and then take the whole team and his individual attacking power to the next level.
Although the media is now singing praises to his team, Chang Sheng always feels that there are hidden dangers in it, which makes him very uneasy.
In fact, most managers don't have that kind of thinking - as long as they can win. Isn't the essence of the game of football all about winning? So as long as you can win, what do you do?
But Chang Sheng feels that it makes sense to win, and a victory that can be replicated is a success, otherwise it is a big luck. One game or two games can be relied on luck, but thirty-eight league games in a season, is it also dependent on luck?
There are also some managers who feel that there is no problem with relying on superstars, superstars are to be relied on, we have superstars to rely on is ability, and you can also rely on one.
Chang Sheng doesn't see it that way, and he certainly doesn't deny the role of superstars. But if the superstar is just used to fight alone, it will be too wasteful. He believes that superstars can be combined with their tactical discipline perfectly, which is good for everyone, their teams can continue to win, and superstars themselves can continue to give great performances, win accolades and accolades, and money.
It's supposed to be a win-win, rather than choosing one and giving up the other.
He felt that it was dangerous to keep Ronaldinho out of the tactical system.
But it takes time for Ronaldinho to fully integrate into tactics. Because Ronaldinho is different from the team, he is too talented, he is too confident, which has a certain hindrance to his integration into the team's tactics.
Although training skills can increase Ronaldinho's stats, they can't change his psychology.
Chang Sheng felt that he had to talk to the Brazilian genius and made him realize that there was room for his individual talent to be fully exploited only if it was based on the whole.

On 30 September, Valencia hosted PSV Eindhoven, their second opponent in the Champions League group stage, and they beat PSV Eindhoven 2-0.
The commentator kept exclaiming during the game that Ronaldinho was simply a god!
"Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho! The first to score! He opened the scoring for Valencia! ”
"The Brazilians are here again...... This time it's ...... Long shot! A sudden long-range shot! Soccer hole through PSV Eindhoven's goal...... 2:0! Valencia sets the win! The suspense of the game is gone! ”
"Ronaldinho! He single-handedly defeated the whole of Eindhoven! ”
After the game, PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink was helpless: "We didn't lose to Valencia, we lost to Ronaldinho......"
This sentence became a headline in the media after the game.
Hiddink: We lost to Ronaldinho! 》
The whole of Valencia was cheering for Ronaldinho, and articles touting him sprung up in an endless stream.
The whole of Spain is envious of Valencia for grabbing Ronaldinho, and envy for winning first.
In the sixth round of the league, Valencia challenged Barcelona away.
This game is the highlight of this round of the league
The first play, in addition to being a strong dialogue, the grievances between the two sides last season are also the reason why this game has attracted attention.
Last season, in order to succeed in the election, Laporta claimed that he could poach Chang Sheng as the head coach for Barcelona, but Chang Sheng was slapped in the face on the spot.
In addition, Chang Sheng robbed Ronaldinho, who Laporta used to campaign, and asserted that Beckham could not go to Barcelona, but he was really right, Beckham did not go to Barcelona, but went to Real Madrid.
Chang Sheng directly said that the president of FC Barcelona, Laporta, is a liar who has no faith in his word.
The two sides have become enemies.
As a result, this past summer, Barcelona became the saddest team. Ronaldinho and David Beckham didn't dig any of them. In terms of head coach, they approached Rijkaard, and the "Black Swan" became the team's head coach.
In terms of player introduction, the result was similar to what Chang Sheng predicted, but because Ronaldinho was not bought, Riquelme, who was originally going to go on loan to Villarreal, was able to stay, and Rijkaard wanted to try to make Riquelme the heart of the team's midfield.
In the goalkeeper position, Barcelona has their eye on Turkey's international Rustu, who performed well in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
He also bought Ricardo, who is considered to be Figo's replacement, from Sporting Lisbon. Quaresma. At this time, Quaresma was a well-deserved core at Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo is much better than that. Everyone thought Quaresma would become a world-class superstar...... However, the rest of the story, everyone knows.
At the back, they bought Rafael. Max. Other reinforcements are not worth mentioning.
In addition to bringing in, they also purged a number of players. Frank. De Boer went to Galatasaray on a free transfer. Last season's main goalkeeper Robert Brown. Bonano went to Murcia. There are also a lot of players who didn't get along well with Barcelona leaving.
Louis. Garcia was given a new lease of life by Rijkaard's arrival.
Because of the limited signings, Rijkaard intends to reuse Luiz. Garcia.
Last season Luis. Garcia has returned to Camp Nou after a season-long loan spell.
In this match against Valencia, he will start against his mentor.
※※※
The match between Valencia and Barcelona once again allowed Ronaldinho to dominate.
The Brazilian dribbled past three on the left flank and sent the ball into the Barcelona goal.
When Ronaldinho scored, the whole Camp Nou fell silent.
Laporta's face was grim.
This was supposed to be his prey!
Without Valencia, without constant wins, Ronaldinho should wear the Barcelona shirt and dedicate his talent and talent at Camp Nou!
But now...... He became Barcelona's enemy and scored such a wonderful goal!
“ronaldinhoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” The narrator Morn also rubbed salt on Barcelona's wounds. "The player who had a scandal with Barcelona in the summer gave Barcelona a fatal blow! I think seeing Ronaldinho in such a good performance will make Barcelona fans even more angry - why didn't Laporta's team bring such a good player to Barcelona? ”
※※※
Valencia's players rushed up to celebrate with Ronaldinho.
And Louis. Garcia watched this scene with envy.
He saw his team-mate Mista, who was in Getafe, among them.
Mista has already won a league title and a Super Cup since his move to Valencia last season. And what about yourself? Nothing, nothing.
Louis. Garcia began to regret his decision.
He returned to Valladolid after his loan spell. Tsukien then went to Valencia.
Instead of showing his loyalty to Victorious and going to Valencia, he chose to return to Camp Nou.
A successful season at Getafe has convinced him that he can make his mark at Camp Nou and that he can be at the heart of Barcelona.
But the reality is brutal. He's at the heart of Getafe, not at Barcelona.
With a great performance at Getafe, he got a chance at Barcelona.
However, he felt that the performance at Barcelona was completely different from the performance at Getafe.
He felt like a fish in water at Getafe, something he couldn't find at Barcelona.
It took him half a season to find that feeling.
Unfortunately, I never found it.
Because of his poor performance in the past six months, he returned to the bench and had to put the bench on the boat and watch the water cooler dry.
Last season he was sent out on loan at his strong suggestion to look for opportunities to play.
But at Valladolid, he still couldn't find the feeling of playing in Getafe.
It was only at this time that he found himself excelling at Getafe, not because his level had improved, but because of his winning tactics. This has already been proven in Valencia......
It's a pity that now Valencia has a lot of strong players and stars, but I'm afraid there is no place for him......
After all, this is not the same country team as Getafe, but Valencia, who have won the league twice.
Garcia sighed, he may have missed the most important choice of his life...... (To be continued)
