Chang Sheng was unaware of the news that Ibrahimovic had changed his agent.

Ibrahimovic was famous, and he was just happy about it, and then he revealed it.

In midweek, Valencia played their first Copa del Rey game of the season.

Away to Luvida.

The opponents are a team from Group B and cannot pose any threat to a perennial Valencia side.

Therefore, Chang Sheng intends to let the main players get enough rest this time.

Some of the players, he didn't even let them go with them.

Ibrahimovic, for example, was left in Valencia.

On the front line, the constant win only brought Villa and Kalou two people.

Villa will win this game, and Karui is still on the bench.

Mendieta was also given a break, and Angulo was in his place.

Reyes replaced Vicente on the left wing.

Aimar was replaced by Romanian midfielder Serbain.

The only ones who can't rest may be the back two of Albelda and Pep Guardiola.

Centre-back Manuel Pellegrino was paired with a young Navarro, and the right-back was replaced by Curro. Fernando Torres and the veteran Carboni in the back left.

The goalkeeper was also changed, with Canizares as the substitute and Palop.

With such a lineup, Chang Win won 3:0 away from Luvida.

Broke into the second round of the Copa del Rey.

The next round of the Copa del Rey will begin on November 28 and Valencia's opponent has also come out, which is Las Palmas.

After returning from the away game, Chang Sheng began to prepare for the match against Barcelona.

Although I didn't think about how to win this game, I still have to do the preparations.

Maybe it's not easy to win, or it can't be won at all. But on the pitch, the players also have to give it their all.

There can be many objective factors that can not win. But there can be no subjective element.

We can not win the game because of injury, or we can lose because of lack of quality.

But as soon as you play, eleven have to play seriously.

The headache for Chang Sheng now is that Baraja can't play, Guardiola can't play, how to arrange this midfield.

The double back will definitely not be able to play.

If you don't play as a double midfielder, it will definitely have an impact on the team's tactics.

Because Chang Sheng has been practicing the tactics of double back waist before.

This adjustment is not as simple as one less person. There's one less person in this position, and it's a re-adaptation for the whole team.

I couldn't find anyone to pass the ball.

So Chang Sheng has a special headache.

If he still has a back in his hand, he can go up to it.

But the problem is that he doesn't.

Before the game, the media had already started hyping up the match.

Especially the media in Barcelona.

They all know how Pep Guardiola went to Valencia in the first place. Because Valencia FC and FC Barcelona have an agreement. That's when it came to Barcelona. Pep Guardiola is not allowed to play.

They are hyping up this matter now just to prevent Pep Guardiola from playing.

Don't look at Valencia's win over Real Madrid, Barcelona's media are very polite to both Chang Sheng and Valencia, but that's because there is no direct conflict of interest between the two sides. When it does come together, it's different.

Valencia is gaining momentum right now. Five wins in a row sit top of the league table, while Barcelona are not in a good situation of their own, suffering their first league defeat in the league with a 2-1 defeat away to Deportivo La Coruna in the last round of the league.

The defeat turned their three-place finish into fourth.

Barcelona have realised that Valencia, led by Wins, will be a formidable rival for them this season.

Any means can be used for victory. The war of public opinion is simply commonplace.

They hyped up the agreement between Valencia and Barcelona about Pep Guardiola in order not to let Pep Guardiola play. And Guardiola's non-appearance is a heavy blow to Valencia today.

Because they don't have anyone available in the midfield position.

※※※

Pep Guardiola has also recently seen reports from the Catalan media.

He also knew the purpose of the media to hype up the topic so intensively.

There were a few times. He really had the urge to go to Chang Sheng, saying that he could actually play. Because that agreement says that Valencia can't force himself to play as long as he doesn't want to.

But on the other hand, what if you want to?

He hesitated and hesitated, and in the end he still didn't go to Chang Sheng.

After all, to put him on the pitch against Barcelona is a difficult proposition in itself. He didn't know he was going to play. And what will it become?

Maybe his appearance is not necessarily a good thing for Chang Sheng.

※※※

Guardiola did not take the initiative to bring it up, and Chang Sheng did not run to him for support. Since both parties had written in the original contract, he naturally wouldn't have run to ask Guardiola for help.

In the end, Everwin had to make a change, putting Mendieta in a central midfield position to partner Albelda, and then bringing on Angulo on the right.

That's how he set out on an away trip with such a weird team.

There was one thing that the media was hyping up before the game, and that was Luis. Garcia and his mentor are reunited.

Because of his performances at Getafe last season, this season Luis Brown. Garcia, after answering Valladolid, was bought back by Barcelona on a buyback clause.

However, in star-studded Barcelona, Luis is only in the second division. Garcia didn't have many opportunities.

Most of the time he came off the bench. The performance was okay, but it was far worse than the performance at Getafe.

Let's put it this way, in Getafe Luis. Garcia shines brightly and is full of confidence inside and out.

But in Barcelona, he's just an ordinary guy, looking dull.

Despite this, for many, Louis. Garcia's one step to the top. You must know that the Barcelona first team didn't look down on him at all.

Now he can play in the Barcelona first team. Albeit as a substitute. Aren't you still satisfied?

So the media thinks it's Luis. Garcia was the biggest contributor to Barcelona's return.

Started hyping up "Luis. Garcia's mentor".

But Chang Sheng didn't cater to the hype.

He chose to remain silent when the media hyped up the topic.

Because he found that history was still moving in the direction he knew it was going. Louis. Garcia returned to Barcelona because of his performance in Tenerife, and then continued to sink.

And now everything is the same, it's just that he has a different team in the second division. Louis. Garcia's role in Getafe was so important that none of that seemed to anyone else to be worth mentioning......

In the face of such a stubborn history, he suddenly developed a sense of powerlessness.

So for the media to be enthusiastic about this "often win help Louis. Garcia is back in Barcelona", not at all interested.

In his opinion, returning to Barcelona is a great deal for Luis. It's definitely not a good thing for Garcia.

※※※

Valencia did not make any adjustments in the tactical aspect of this game, it was still a "mad dog" tactic.

It's just a slight change in personnel.

There will definitely be a decrease in strength. But he didn't think it would drop too much.

But the reality is not as rosy as he imagined.

The game has just begun. Barcelona scored a goal, which was undoubtedly a blow for Valencia.

However, in the roar of victory, Valencia quickly launched a counterattack after conceding the goal.

With Valencia's attacking prowess, scoring a goal against Barcelona is no problem.

Barcelona has been in the midst of all sorts of chaos in recent years. If it weren't for Valencia's incomplete squad this time, Chang Sheng would definitely have the ambition to beat Barcelona away from home.

But soon Chang Sheng found that the situation was not quite what he thought.

Valencia's attack was not as fluid as before......

※※※

In order to avoid suspicion, Guardiola, who did not go to the scene, came to Barcelona with the team, but he went home.

He spent time with his family at his home in Barcelona and watched the game.

When Barcelona scored, the family cheered.

Pep Guardiola also had a smile on his face, but he didn't jump up from his seat to cheer and celebrate like everyone else.

Then he quickly fell silent, staring at the TV screen.

He's now trying to watch the game with the eyes of a coach.

After Barcelona's goal, Valencia will surely come back from the back.

And so it is.

But he quickly frowned.

Because he found that Valencia's attack did not show the fluidity that he had in training.

He was well aware of that.

He was involved in Valencia's training throughout. He knew exactly what the Valencia attack would look like if it were working properly.

But now Valencia is acting differently than he knows.

※※※

Chang Sheng quickly found the problem.

It's like a properly functioning gear set that jams when it's in one place.

One or two clicks, three times or four times, in the long run, will damage the normal operation of the entire gear set.

The problem lies with Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic's performance in today's match seems to be particularly high.

Although Ibrahimovic has had some improvisation in previous games, that was without affecting the overall attack of the whole team.

This game is different.

When the football reaches Ibrahimovic's feet, Ibrahimovic will start showing off his skills and telling the crowds. How delicate his feet are in this big man of 1.9 meters.

Obviously there is a chance to pass the ball directly, but he has to pass the ball with momentum, and then dunk the football back and choose to pass the opponent.

Even if he really passed the other party, the opportunity was lost. You can only pass the ball sideways or simply pass it back.

But this kind of passing is of no use to the team.

In a winning strategy, each player has their own role and position, what they can and can't do, and under what circumstances, these are clearly defined.

It's impossible for Ibrahimovic not to know.

But Ibrahimovic's current performance is one of a rhythm that has left tactical discipline behind.

Chang Sheng frowned as he watched from the sidelines.

He didn't quite understand why Ibrahimovic was doing this.

Ibrahimovic has been obedient in the previous games, even if he plays the ball, it is within an acceptable range.

So what's wrong with him today?

※※※

Valencia launched an attack, Vicente ran wildly down the flank, and the ball fell to Ibrahimovic's feet, who sped forward before raising his arm and motioning for Ibrahimovic to pass to him.

In training and previous matches, Ibrahimovic would pass the ball in front of him, allowing him to use his ability to sprint, tear apart Barcelona's defence, disrupt the opposition's defense, and then pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, who ran into the void, and he completed the final shot.

This is Valencia's tactic.

But in this game, things are a little different.

Ibrahimovic received the ball from outside the box and was about to hit the goal, but the deceived Barcelona defender Puyol flew to block the eye, and then he slammed the ball past Puyol.

The young Puyol was more flexible than he thought. Although it was shaken, it immediately pounced again.

Back in front of Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic's legs were shaking as if they were dancing.

Puyol didn't move, just stared at the football.

Ibrahimovic was not willing to be frozen by Puyol and jerked the ball to the right.

Puyol followed.

He slammed the ball back from behind him with the heel of his right foot, dodging to break through.

Like a hound biting its prey, Puyol pounced again.

Although he may seem a little embarrassed, he did keep Ibrahimovic at bay.

When Chang Sheng saw this scene off the field, he couldn't help shouting: "Pass! Damn it! ”

Ibrahimovic certainly didn't hear the sound of the winning man, because the Camp Nou is so noisy right now that he can't hear the sound of the winning man from the sidelines.

However, he eventually passed the football because he saw that he could not break through Puyol.

So he sent the ball to the vacancy, where he saw Vicente raising his hand on the flank for the ball.

It's just that......

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Offside! Vicente was offside...... It's a shame that if Ibrahimovic's ball could have been passed earlier, Vicente could have torn apart Barcelona's defense this time! Unfortunately, Valencia missed a chance to equalize! ”

When Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court, he couldn't help but wave his fist hard.

"! What was he thinking? ”

※※※

Because Ibrahimovic was about to start playing the ball for some reason, Valencia's attack in the first half never started.

Unless Ibrahimovic is bypassed, that's better.

Otherwise, as soon as the football reaches the feet of Ibrahimovic, he will definitely play for a while and show his skills to the fullest.

Sometimes, he can indeed make breathtaking feints, shake off defenders, and then pass or shè the goal.

But most of the time he can't.

He could only show off his footwork and pass the ball out without pushing the team's attack. So it seems that his previous hard work performance is simply meaningless.

But the Swede doesn't seem to know about it, or doesn't care about it, and he still has fun.

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
