Chapter 301: The Joy of Playing with Masters (95/136)
By pressuring the referee, Chang Sheng temporarily bought his team a respite.
Why is it a temporary respite?
Because if he can't completely solve the problem of this offense always being interrupted, he will soon be in trouble.
Because he can't always go to the referee every time something goes wrong.
The referee was able to help once or twice, and he ignored it if he had too many times.
So, you have to rely on yourself.
The problem is that the referee's penalty scale is not determined by winning all the time.
He can only try to get the referee to think that Valencia is attacking when awarding the penalty, and let him follow the principle of attacking advantage when blowing the penalty.
In this way, your team will no longer be able to go back and forth in the backfield and wait for an opportunity to attack.
Most of Porto's fouls were in Valencia's backfield, and it was indeed not easy to get cards when fouls were fouled.
Jose Mourinho really put in the work.
Not only did I study the rules of the game, but I also studied Valencia's playing habits.
Because Valencia does like to pass the ball in the midfield most of the time, on the one hand, it can brush the ball possession, on the other hand, it can ensure that the football is in a safe place, under their control, and then attract the opponent through this pass, and then suddenly launch an attack after the opponent is withdrawn, change the rhythm, from slow mutual transmission to continuous straight stops and runs, like a pool of stagnant water suddenly becomes a waterfall that rushes for thousands of miles.
This is how Valencia is used to in the game.
The whole team is used to this model.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, including Chang Sheng.
It wasn't until today that Chang Sheng realized how much of a "back door" he had left for his opponent......
I've been in a similar situation in the league before, but none of those teams have done as much as Jose Mourinho's Porto......
So much so that the problem was exposed.
In that case, Valencia will have to abandon their familiar rhythm and style of play.
Reduce the back-and-forth foot-to-back practice at the back and try to get the ball to the front as fast as possible. Even if you want to fall down, you have to fall in front of the opponent's penalty area. In this case, the other party will throw a rat trap and dare not make any more big moves.
Because it's dangerous to give Valencia a free-kick in that position. Ronaldinho's free-kick skills are well known.
Maybe Chang Win will wish Polta was fouling in that position......
Taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity, Chang Sheng called Currottores, who was closest to him, to his side, and told him to tell his teammates his intentions after he came on the pitch.
The adjustment made by Chang Sheng is to be less backward at the back, and to pass the ball resolutely forward when there is a chance, to be fast and accurate. This requires players in several positions to be more flexible, while also having good possession and the ability to get rid of the ball.
For example, the lower back.
The latter is the hub that connects the front and back courts. The centre-back sends the ball to the midfielder, who in turn sends the ball up.
It's simple to say. It's not that easy to do.
Because Mourinho's side will defend according to this characteristic of the midfield, as Porto have done in the previous 20-odd minutes.
In fact, now because of the organizational back, there are not many silent kings of swimming. Therefore, most teams have not developed a strategy specifically for Valencia, whether it is Cambiaso or Deco, their job is relatively easy, and they will only feel the pressure when they are close to the opponent's 30-meter area.
In this game. Porto's players focused on Valencia's two central defenders.
As soon as Cambiaso and Deco run back to meet their centre-back teammates, they will follow and press up, like maggots attached to the bones, and they will not leave the two men. As soon as two people get the ball, the other person will quickly stick to it. Use a violent dash to stop them from turning.
Not to mention, although this method is not very technical, it does work.
Because Cambiasso and Deco are simply not comfortable with such a defense.
Now Changsheng hopes that they will have to adapt. Use your skills to get away from your opponent's close presses, or use small quick passes to get your opponent into the air.
Therefore, he asked the team to further compress the overall formation when they were in possession. Shorten the distance between players and make what is already close a little closer.
That way, when Deco and Cambiaso got the football. If the other person interferes behind them, they can't turn around. Then they can at least pass the football to their teammates right away, and then pass through the midfield through various short passes, and successfully send the football to the front court.
※※※
When the constant win was adjusted, the distance between the players in Valencia was indeed shortened. This way, their passing is also more fluid and smoother.
Mourinho sneered at this scene.
You think you'll get rid of me this way? Dream!
Jose Mourinho sat in his place and didn't do anything, but he was well aware that his players already knew what to do.
Sure enough, when Deco got the ball with his back and quickly distributed the ball to Currottores next to him, he turned and ran, this time he didn't run. Because he was pulled by Costigna, who defended him, the jersey.
Although Costinha quickly let go of his hand, Deco's speed could not be lifted and he was a step slower.
Curro Torres had just gotten the ball away, and he thought Deco was trying to play a one-two with him. And he can't pass the ball right away, and the Porto players are already pressing it with great momentum.
In order not to let the football
Throwing it away at his feet, he can only send the football out of the first place.
And in reality, Deco does have to play a one-two with him. But he was pulled on his jersey, and the speed was not lifted in time, and he didn't hit it after two.
The referee's whistle sounded.
The game was interrupted again.
But because Costinha just pulled the jersey and let it go as soon as he pulled it, the foul was not serious, and the referee Nelson had no intention of playing the card.
Chang Sheng did not continue to trouble the referee this time.
He knew very well that the foul was not enough to give a yellow card.
He turned his head to Mourinho, who seemed to know that someone was watching him.
Twisted around, and sure enough, it was always victorious.
So he also smiled at Chang Sheng.
Just like Chang Sheng smiled at him before.
Everyone knows what each other's smiles mean.
You can put pressure on the referee and I can still deal with you! You have the ability to hide behind the head coach for a lifetime! But I'm afraid that even the manager doesn't want to protect you......
After Mourinho's smile. Instead of gritting his teeth in anger like Mourinho had done before, he suddenly grinned.
The laughing Mourinho is inexplicable - this person has a brain problem, right? His team is in a difficult situation, and he can still laugh? Or is he just bluffing?
Mourinho naturally couldn't understand the idea of winning constantly.
Since crossing into this world, Chang Sheng has also met many famous commanders, including those who are very famous now and those who will only be famous in the future. For him, it is his greatest pleasure to be able to play against these famous coaches.
Defeating these famous coaches will make Chang Sheng especially fulfilling.
Now meeting Mourinho in the Champions League final is naturally a great opportunity.
And Mourinho didn't disappoint him either. The tactical arrangements in the final were very targeted.
Apparently he had studied Valencia tactics specifically.
Being able to meet such an opponent makes Chang Sheng feel that this Champions League final is worth it.
Beat Jose Mourinho and win the Champions League. It's much more rewarding than beating a random manager and then lifting the Champions League trophy.
I made a change, but Mourinho still has a countermeasure, so next it's my turn to make a move, what answer sheet do I have to hand in?
Chang Sheng was excited.
He has the feeling of playing against a master.
※※※
Chang Sheng didn't even watch from the sidelines. I immediately took countermeasures.
Mourinho thought that he had contained Deco and that his attack would not be able to advance?
That's naïve!
What do you think I'd rather use Baraja as a substitute than start Cambiaso?
Do you think I only have a midfield engine like Deco?
Come on, come on, let you see how powerful my South American twin engines are!
Chang Sheng shouted Cambiaso's name from the sidelines.
When Cambiaso hears and walks down the field.
Chang Sheng gestured to him.
This gesture was one of the codes that Chang Sheng had announced to his players before the game.
Each gesture represents a meaning. Many times, he doesn't need to shout. Just make a gesture to a specific person and everyone will know what it means.
When Cambiaso made this gesture of constant victory, he looked very excited. He nodded vigorously.
He knew his chance had come.
Before the game, the Argentine was surprised but excited when Winner announced that Cambiasso would start the game, not Baraja.
This season he has played in the rotation at Valencia, albeit with a lot of appearances. But it's definitely not the main force. He didn't complain about anything, in fact he was able to reward more than 20 league games in a season in Valencia. It's much better than playing a single La Liga game in four seasons at Real Madrid and playing in Argentina all of them. If he wanted to play in Argentina, why did he move to Real Madrid in the first place?
With a steady stream of appearances in Valencia, a title and a good salary, Cambiaso can't think of anything to be dissatisfied with.
But he really didn't expect to be able to play in such an important game as the Champions League final.
When Valencia reached the Champions League final, he was happy, the kind of joy that is happy for a team.
As for himself, he really didn't think about it that much.
It's just that he didn't expect the pie to fall from the sky and hit him on the head.
And what he didn't expect was that he could not only start, but he could also be the core of the game!
When Deco is limited by the opponent and cannot play his strength, he needs to stand up and replace Deco as the team's midfield engine to drive the team to run normally.
What an honorable thing!
※※※
After making the corresponding adjustments, Chang Sheng turned his head to the next door.
As he expected, Mourinho was on his side.
In fact, Mourinho was staring at him all the time when he was shouting Cambiaso's name and gesturing.
Now that he turned his head, Mourinho was not surprised, and he did not look away as a thief, but looked at Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng smiled at him.
It's your turn, magic bird—
