Chapter 40: This Powerful Man
Valencia's players were also surprised as they were too comfortable ahead of Real Madrid.
It's as if their opponent isn't the defending champion.
But their opponents are the real Real Madrid.
Then they were able to take the lead so easily, and they may have to find the reason for it.
The new tactics brought by the new manager and the special advice he gave them before the game.
Pavon, that man is Real Madrid's Achilles' heel.
Valencia's players celebrated their goals before turning their eyes to Real Madrid's centre-back, young Francisco. Pavon.
Being stared at at the same time by so many eyes maliciously, Pavon suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Then they set their sights on the sidelines for the ever-wins.
This young Chinese coach really has two brushes......
The previous doubts have been dispelled a lot in this goal.
When the game resumed, Valencia's players were even more confident that they could play like this.
※※※
Bosque still couldn't think of a better way to crack it.
As long as the football is at Valencia's feet, he finds it difficult to snatch.
Because the opponent is always passing the ball, they don't let the ball stay at the feet of a player for too long.
Soccer balls in this sport are the hardest to grab.
You can only wait for Valencia to make a mistake on its own.
But Valencia must have specialized in this aspect of intensive training.
In addition, their passes are very simple short passes, and there is no need to play any fancy games. So this kind of passing accuracy is very high, and it is very difficult for Real Madrid to break the ball for a while.
The difficult result is that the Real Madrid players are like monkeys by the Valencia players, using the pass to play around.
Passing has always been the foundation of football, even the foundation. This technique is used by many players when they are still children. And they practiced until they retired.
Although a lot of coaches put a lot of emphasis on passing.
But to be able to make the pass so important...... To be honest, it was the first time Bosque had seen it.
Valencia's tactics are simply pass-centric.
They kept passing, they kept running.
The ball makes a constant "thump" sound at the feet of the Valencia player and is passed to the feet of the next player.
Suffice it to say, when Valencia attacked, all Real Madrid could do was defend with all they could and wait for a shot to end the attack. Either the football didn't score, or the football scored.
Just these two options.
Only then can Real Madrid launch their attack.
But Valencia's players looked very patient, keeping possession of the ball but not rushing to shoot - before they scored. They had just three shots on goal in fourteen minutes.
The fourth shot was the goal.
Even Real Madrid had more shots on goal than Valencia, but the success rate was very low, with only one of the five shots on goal hitting the woodwork.
In contrast, Valencia were far more dangerous with their shots. Two of the three shots that preceded this goal were also in the woodwork.
Quite threatening.
Thus. Valencia's attack is not about quantity, but about quality.
Bosque pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a way to crack Valencia's attack.
He decided to leave it alone for now. Try to hold your own line when the opponent is in possession and don't make the same mistake again.
And then when the offensive power falls to their feet. Let's take a good look at Real Madrid's short pass attack.
※※※
Chang Sheng never dared to underestimate Real Madrid, and he knew that if he made Real Madrid react. Then this game will be difficult to play.
So he asked the team to keep attacking and try to score early.
As for the method of scoring the goal, it is very simple, it is still against Pavon.
So when the game resumed, Valencia, who had already taken the lead, did not stop there, but continued to attack Francisco. Pavon this.
Bosque had previously assumed that Pavon would quickly adapt to the La Liga game as the game progressed and then play at his normal level.
But he soon found out that he was wrong.
Valencia attacked Pavon, and Pavon's performance did not improve in the slightest, but became more embarrassed.
That's when he realized he had made a mistake.
If it's just a normal game, Pavon might have taken a little time to get used to.
But this is the opening game, and it's a strong conversation.
This kind of game itself is a lot of pressure for Pavon.
Not to mention......
Bosque thought of what Valencia's manager Chang Sheng had said before the game.
At first, he just regarded it as an ordinary war of words, but now he found out Chang Sheng's true intentions!
He is trying to continue to put pressure on Pavon, who is already very nervous!
And judging by the current situation, it is clear that he succeeded.
Under such tremendous pressure, Valencia recognized Pavon's attack again, and Pavon's pressure can be imagined.
I have to say that this strategy of winning is very scary.
But there's more to come......
I can't replace Pavon myself!
At least not now!
Because if he replaces Pavon at this time, it will tell everyone that Real Madrid's goal was caused by Pavon, and Pavon has become the weakest point of Real Madrid.
This is tantamount to blaming the young Pavon for all the reasons why Real Madrid lost.
Even if Real Madrid wins by chance, Pavon will not be less pressured, and the media will treat it separately. The Real Madrid player who scored the goal was praised, and Pavon, who conceded the goal, will certainly face the media bombardment.
For young players, it's deadly.
Originally, he was compared to Zidane, which made Pavon very nervous. Let's do it again. Bosque believes it will be the last straw that crushes Pavon.
Bosque can almost imagine the scene of Pavon completely losing his self-confidence and gradually sinking under the indiscriminate bombardment of public opinion.
And the substitution means that the head coach has lost the trust of the team Pavon and is disappointed in Pavon. So the pressure from the outside and the pressure from the manager. will crush Pavon.
So not only can't he change now, but it's best that he can't change until the end of the game. In this way, even if the outside media criticizes Pavon, Bosque can still come forward to defend Pavon and let him know that the team has not given up on him.
In this way, Pavon still has a chance to regain confidence and form.
With this in mind, Bosque can now only watch Pavon be attacked and broken through again and again on the court.
He can't even show dissatisfaction with Pavon's form, because it will make the media make a big fuss.
As the head coach of the giant Real Madrid. It is to live under the watchful eye of the media at all times, and pay attention to every word and deed, every subtle action.
lest the media catch some clues and make a big fuss. When the time comes, you won't be able to speak clearly.
Bosque has been the manager of Real Madrid three times. These doorways are the clearest.
So he could only watch Pavon being hit by Valencia's substitutions, but there was nothing he could do.
Of course, he could ask Hierro to help Pavon, but everyone saw the result of Hiero helping Pavon.
He could also swap Hierro and Pavon, but what good was that?
The other party identified Pavon, not a certain position.
It's really an unsolvable situation......
Bosque turned his head to look at Valencia's dugout.
That Valencia manager. At this time, I just walked to the sideline and squatted down.
It's his habitual move. It is said that this habitual action has attracted him no less ridicule. Think that this Chinese is like a hillbilly, and the coach has to squat on the ground, as if.
But then fewer and fewer people laughed at his habit.
Because behind this rustic action is the victory of a game.
Whenever someone laughs at his actions. They often don't get happy for long.
Bosque didn't think it was funny.
Now he didn't just think so, he thought this man was terrible.
He had planned it from the beginning. From the moment he began to provoke Florentino. He's already planning it.
Provoke Florentino and let Mr. President put pressure on himself. Forced himself to let Pavon play.
Because he knows very well that if Pavon does not play, then Real Madrid will have no weakness.
So Pavon has to be played.
As long as Pavon played, Real Madrid lost......
The situation will be like this.
Bosque simply couldn't make any adjustments.
Of course, he could have the two midfielders assist Pavin more.
The problem is that they ran to assist Pavon, and the defense elsewhere was empty. Defending is a matter of moving the whole body.
Problems in any one place can have serious consequences.
In short, Valencia found Pavon very well.
So that Bosque couldn't think of a way at all.
You can only pray to God, and every shot from the opponent is saved, or directly knocked away.
This Chinese...... It's young, but it's amazing!
I heard that he was first in the echelon of Real Madrid, and later was fired because of a conflict with a director......
Before leaving, he also let out cruel words, saying that he would make Real Madrid regret it.
Whether Real Madrid will regret it, Bosque doesn't know, but now, he does feel a pity - such a powerful figure has not become our own, but has become an enemy of Real Madrid......
※※※
Chang Sheng didn't know the regret in Bosque's heart, and he was now glued to the pitch, waiting for the second goal. In his plan, as long as the team can score a second goal, they will have the upper hand. Next, the attack can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the initiative is completely on Valencia's side.
Real Madrid had just finished an attack on the field, and Raul's scramble shot in the box was missed, which shocked Mestalla in surprise.
Many Valencia fans were scared out of a cold sweat.
Changsheng is no exception.
Raul's ability is undeniable, and what he does best is his clever shot in front of goal. It was Valencia's good luck that the goal didn't go in.
This goal shows that Real Madrid have adjusted their tactics - they don't care if they will continue to concede goals, they just don't care whether they can score or not.
Obviously, Real Madrid are not going to fight Valencia defensively, they want to fight Valencia to attack.
For Valencia, this is not a good thing.
Real Madrid's attacking strength is quite powerful.
So now Chang Sheng is more eager to score.
