Chapter 116: We Are Uninvited Guests
That evening, Chang Sheng's words at the press conference spread throughout Spain.
Originally, as the head coach who led the team to the Copa del Rey final twice in a row, Chang Sheng has attracted much attention, and now the confrontation with Real Madrid has made him the focus of attention in Spain.
Under such circumstances, Chang Sheng said such a sentence that could be regarded as bold.
Real Madrid specially scheduled the Copa del Rey final today, what it means, everyone knows very well.
Generally speaking, apart from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the other teams don't say anything.
After all, people are a once-in-a-century opportunity.
Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?
Real Madrid is understandable for this, they just want to add some festive atmosphere to the celebration.
Everyone understands.
Even if there is something unpleasant, he mutters to himself in private and does not say it publicly.
How could I have thought that Chang Sheng, who was stunned, would just say that they were here to smash the field!
Let's not talk about whether he can really smash this field, but this sentence is equivalent to a slap in the face of Real Madrid.
Just imagine, at a staggered and lively banquet, everyone was vying to say auspicious words to the respected old birthday star sitting in the first seat, which made the old birthday star laugh and the atmosphere was peaceful.
The brightly dressed VIPs talked softly, with elegant smiles on their faces, and their manners were noble and elegant.
Under the brilliant light, everyone is radiant. Men are handsome and dignified, and women are beautiful and generous.
The band is playing soft and soothing music to the music of the players, and there are people dancing on the dance floor.
What a night......
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and then an uninvited guest with mud and a dusty face appeared at the gate.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, he was in rags, his face was old, and he had traces of sleeping in the open.
Everyone's eyes and attention were drawn to him, everyone turned their heads to look at the door, and the band in the hall stopped playing curiously and in surprise.
The old man in the seat also frowned, because he had not invited this stranger.
I saw the uninvited guest grinning and smiling at the stunned host guests: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late." ”
Then he walked uninvited, into the hall of golden splendor and singing and dancing, and went straight to the dance floor.
The men and women dancing on the dance floor ducked in panic and then looked at him with puzzled eyes.
He stood on the dance floor and waved his hand: "I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing, but I'm here to smash the scene today." ”
That's what Chang Sheng said at the pre-match press conference.
Before a grand celebration, he said that he was here to smash the field, and this courage really made people not know what to say about him.
For Real Madrid, you usually count them together. It's Real Madrid's centennial celebration, and if you come out disgusting to others, you really don't think you're dying fast enough......
That night, Madrid's television stations were discussing Chang Sheng's remarks at the press conference.
"Often I don't measure my strength, and I push Valencia into the fire pit!"
'It's unwise to say that before the game, because he ignited the anger and fighting spirit of the Real Madrid players, and Valencia will face a very difficult game at the Bernabeu...... If I were him, I wouldn't have spoken out before the game, I know he hates Real Madrid, in fact a lot of people don't like Real Madrid's domineering, but it's better to be smart......"
※※※
It was perhaps the most special and peculiar pre-match tactical meeting that Valencia players have ever attended.
Because Chang Sheng gathered them together, he didn't arrange tactics, but let them watch a show about the preview of the Copa del Rey final on the TV in the conference room.
In the program, the host and guests are sitting on various predictions for tomorrow's game, and they are analyzing all the information they have.
In the end, the conclusion is very consistent, that is...... Valencia are not at all favoured to win away from home.
Yes, away.
Although the Bernabeu is nominally a neutral venue and there will be a lot of Valencia fans coming, it is actually an away road for the Valencia team.
Santiago. The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium seems to have some kind of mysterious power bonus that could allow Real Madrid to gain more power when it comes to this game. Real Madrid, who play on their own familiar venues, will be more relaxed and comfortable than Valencia.
On the other hand, Valencia's beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu was tragic enough, and their head coach Chang Sheng also took the initiative to provoke the opponent at the press conference the day before the game, provoking the opponent's anger. He will only make his team die worse and will never help his team win the game.
"Often still too young...... He thought that psychological warfare was to scold the opponent a few words before the game, which would make the opponent panic and mess up his heart or something......" The guest who said this shook his head and sighed, as if he was really feeling sorry for the young man who always wins.
"In terms of player strength, Valencia does not have an advantage, Real Madrid is full of masters, Raul, Morientes, Zidane, Figo, Robert. Carlos, Hierro...... These superstars, anyone can change the outcome of the game. In contrast, although the players on Valencia's side have quality, they are still a little inferior to Real Madrid's superstars......"
"Tactically, I think the winning tactics must have been thoroughly studied by Bosque, Real Madrid suffered two losses at Valencia, and they have absolutely no reason to eat a third time......"
"Speaking of which, Joe, I'll add. The reason why Valencia were able to beat Real Madrid twice was not due to tactics. Obviously, their first game was often a loophole, and I don't even think it was a football win. He has ruined the future of a promising player...... As for the second game, that was the true level of Valencia. The 2:1 score was a bit of a fluke. In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid's level of investment must be more than that of the league...... So this game, I'm not optimistic about Valencia......"
Before the show ended, Chang Sheng had already turned off the TV and then he looked at his players.
"After watching this show, do you guys have any thoughts? Anyway, I have a lot to say, and I have something to say when I am so nakedly looked down upon. I have a stomach full of things to say to ...... They listen. To those who look down on us. But it's a pity that even if we dry our saliva in this room, we can't affect each other, and they can't hear it. ”
Chang Sheng looked at the players, he was carefully observing the expressions of each player, and he couldn't see whether a player's morale was high, and he couldn't see through their thoughts, but by observing the expressions, he could still guess some.
It can be seen that several guests and hosts on TV swore that Valencia would definitely not play in the final, which deeply stimulated Valencia's players.
Although they must all know what the outside world thinks of them, but seeing it directly through the TV is still different in terms of stimulation.
Especially in TV shows, guests and hosts constantly have close-ups to show the expressions on their faces clearly.
This kind of naked contempt made Valencia's players very unhappy.
They can't figure it out...... Why are we all the first in the league, and there are still so many people who are not optimistic about us?
They thought they were number one in the league and deserved respect.
Not really.
In fact, they were also a little frightened at the beginning of the away game against Real Madrid. I feel that there is more luck than luck.
But now that I see the contemptuous faces of these people, these players have a rebellious mentality - you are not optimistic about us? Then we're going to have to win again! Win Real Madrid once at the Bernabeu!
※※※
Chang Sheng saw the change in the expressions of these players and knew that letting them watch TV had made a difference.
Next, he's going to add fuel to the fire.
"Even if we cut our throats, no one will hear us. But luckily, we have this opportunity to prove that we don't just pay lip service! It's our luck and the biggest charm of football, guys. That is - when someone looks down on you, you have the opportunity to speak for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and not to be like anything else, just hold it back. ”
"Tomorrow's Copa del Rey final is part of Real Madrid's painstakingly orchestrated centenary celebrations. I said before the game that we were going to smash the field, and now the media is saying that I am doing this to add a lot of pressure to you, and it will make you overwhelmed and play out of style during the game. I want to ask you, am I stressing you out? ”
Baraha was the first to shout: "No! No stress! That's what motivates us! We're going to have to Real Madrid hard at the Bernabeu!! ”
His hatred for Real Madrid may be twofold, one because he is now a Valencia player, and the other because he was a former Atletico Madrid player, and he is an enemy of Real Madrid no matter which one he represents.
His words were quickly echoed by the other players. Everyone said that the manager was right, they came to the Bernabeu to smash the field!
"Very well, since you have this idea too, then I have nothing to worry about." Chang Sheng nodded vigorously, and he turned his body to the small blackboard on the other side, which was full of various passing and running routes.
"Now, let's talk about the tactics we're going to use in this game. In this game, we emphasize one word - control! In any case, control of the ball comes first, and as long as we can make sure that the football is always at our feet, then even if the Real Madrid fans shout at the Bernabeu, it will not threaten us. If there is no better opportunity, then it is better to return the pass than to take the risk! ”
The winning tactics may sound like a shrunken turtle, but it's the best way to deal with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Maybe Bosque will think he's studied Valencia's tactics thoroughly, but this time he ...... Or give him a "surprise"!
I hope both Bosque and Mr. Florentino will enjoy it. (To be continued.)
