Chapter 36 White Horse Mad Dog

> This is Valencia's first game of the new season, and it is also the first game of La Liga in the new season.

So this game is the opening game of La Liga.

The media focused on it and broadcast it live across the country.

Valencia fans are very concerned about this game.

Because this is the first official game played by their new head coach leading the team.

Although Valencia has played four warm-up games.

But can the warm-up match be compared with the official league?

There are too many things shown in the warm-up match. Whether the new coach Chang Sheng can lead Valencia to the peak depends on the official game.

This opening game is a very good opportunity.

This summer, there have been a lot of comments about Chang Sheng in the media, especially in the local media in Valencia, most of which are derogatory and rarely praised.

From his signings to his attitude towards Zahovic, from his seldom attending press conferences to his incomprehensible tactics, they have all become reasons for the media to criticize him.

The reason why the local media in Valencia belittled Changsheng so much is simple. After Otti took office, the change he made was not to continue to hire those world-renowned coaches, but to find a Chinese with only one season of team leadership experience.

They are very worried about this.

It is believed that Chang Sheng does not have enough experience and ability to lead Valencia.

Of course they also admit that Changsheng led Getafe to the second division championship and the Copa del Rey championship, but leading a small team and leading a big team is a completely different experience. The experience of coaching a small team cannot be simply applied to a big team. Not to mention other things, but how to deal with the relationship in the locker room, small teams and big teams are completely different.

So they are very pessimistic about Chang Sheng's future in Valencia.

I always think that Otti recruiting such a Chinese may eventually destroy himself and Valencia. As for Chang Sheng's fate, no one cares...

Valencia fans have had so much negative feedback from the local media and their confidence in winning is low,

The impression is even worse.

The opening game will be against a team like Real Madrid. To be honest, the Valencia fans are a little bit emboldened.

Real Madrid were the league champions last season, and this season they spent huge sums of money to bring in the 29-year-old Zidane from Juventus.

In contrast, Valencia bought a lot of people this summer, but what kind of people did they buy!

Except for one of Guardiola's credits, they are all thirty years old.

The others were either teenagers or nobodies whose names had never been heard before. Just looking at such transfers and signings, it really doesn't make people feel confident.

And judging from the media reports, in today's game, Chang Sheng has to play many of his newly acquired players... Oh my God, Valencia's future will depend on such an unreliable coach and a group of players On an unreliable nobody?

Whether it is prestige or strength, this Real Madrid team is in full swing.

Although there was no such thing as a "Galaxy Battleship" at this time, everyone felt that this Real Madrid team was very similar to the Spanish Armada that crossed the ocean back then.

Even at home, it may be difficult for Valencia to beat Real Madrid. Although their number one star Zidane is not on, it is not something Valencia can resist...

Many Valencia fans are thinking so.

But at this time, only Chang Sheng, the head coach of Valencia, announced very strongly that he would give Real Madrid a good look at Mestalla.

Is he crazy, or is he really sure?

All kinds of doubts before the season, coupled with the current curiosity, the Mestalla stadium in the opening game of the league was full of seats!

※ ※ ※

In the locker room, the players who have warmed up are making final preparations for the game. The starting players changed their jerseys, and the substitute players were also waiting.

Chang Sheng looked at his players.

It's a completely different feeling from Getafe.

His reputation in Getafe is already admired, even if he doesn't say anything, those players will fight to the death for him.

It's different now.

He had scanned it with [Golden Eyes] before, and until now, most players had a neutral reputation for him, and the entire team was even more neutral.

Although he has won four warm-up matches, he is very clear that the warm-up matches really can't explain the problem. If these players are to be convinced, this opening match is really the most important and cannot be missed.

Think about it, if he can lead the team to defeat the mighty Real Madrid, how much shock will it bring to these players?

Become famous with one goal, become famous with one goal.

This is not the privilege of players, coaches can too!

In order to give these currently neutral players more confidence, he plans to give a speech.

To give my talent [Encouragement] room to play.

The 30% increase in morale is not just for fun, it can turn a group of people into berserkers if used well.

"Actually, Real Madrid is not as scary as it is said on the outside. What are the four superstars and what are the defending champions? Remember what we have been training hard for a summer? From high-intensity physical training to boring tactical training. I know a lot of people have complained more than once. But now, all of our efforts will be worth it at this moment. Real Madrid, who many people thought were invincible, will play the first game of the new season of their defending champions fail!"

Mendieta curled his lips in his heart, and with this confident attitude again, I really don't know where this Chinese man's confidence comes from.

Even if we are at home, the opponent is also a very strong Real Madrid.

Is it so hard that the opponent didn't play Zidane, so he was so confident?

But just after he finished thinking this way, he felt that the situation of the teammates around him was not quite right.

They were not as indifferent as before, and some people had already started to stare at Chang Sheng seriously, as if they couldn't wait to know what he was going to say next.

These people showed enthusiasm beyond Mendieta's imagination...

"If anyone doubts why I am so confident, I will give you an analysis."

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he glanced at Mendieta, and Mendieta was a little startled at this glance, because at that moment he felt that Chang Sheng had seen through his thoughts.

"Real Madrid's squad looks strong. But they still have a flaw, and it's an Achilles' heel. You all know that I scolded Real Madrid's 'zipa policy' in the pre-match press conference, right? In the media There is no reason to say that I am a mad dog, who catches and bites. But in this game, we will show them whether I am biting. It is very simple. In the game, every player involved in the offense must rely on running and Pass the ball away from their two defensive midfielders Herguera and Makelele. Then let their back line lose protection. At this time, we will focus on attacking their young central defender Pavon!"

Chang Sheng wrote and drew on the tactical board, and then tapped hard on the circle representing Pavon.

"He's the Achilles' heel of Real Madrid's game. Punch him, crush him, knock him out! If Hierro comes up to defend, put the ball in the space where he came up...so everyone Pay extra attention to running positions. Run actively and don't try to save energy. Against a team like Real Madrid, saving energy is meaningless. If you don't go all out, people will die after 90 minutes It's us! I want you to remember this sentence!"

"Real Madrid have superstars, compared to them, we are more civilians. But we are a unit, which is much more important than superstars. Football, in the final analysis, is a united sport. So remember the name of our tactics? Mad dogs! Yes, I believe that after this summer of training, you should understand why I named this tactic 'Mad Dog'. And what is Real Madrid? They are elegant white horses. Take a bite on your leg!"

Someone clenched a fist, and Mendieta was even more surprised.

He admitted that what Chang Sheng said was a little provocative, but it wouldn't make so many people excited, right?

He turned to look at Chang Sheng, looking at Chang Sheng in surprise.

And Chang Sheng seemed to have noticed his gaze, and smiled back at him.

It's still the kind of confident and complacent look.

Mendieta frowned.

In the dressing room of Real Madrid, Del Bosque was also telling the players what should be paid attention to in this game.

He didn't think that Valencia would play a defensive counterattack like others, because judging from the pre-season warm-up match, Valencia could not be regarded as a defensive counterattack anyway.

That messy running tactics reminded him of Chang Sheng's last game in Getafe, the Copa del Rey final. At that time, Getafe relied on a set of novel tactics to defeat Mallorca and win the Copa del Rey.

Bosque thought of this, and he felt that Chang Sheng might have moved the tactics he tried in Getafe to Valencia.

So he didn't treat Valencia as a defensive counterattack team from the beginning.

Obviously, if Chang Sheng wants to use that tactic, he will definitely confront Real Madrid.

Because it is impossible for him to stay in the backcourt all the time and not come out.

Bosque is not afraid of confrontation.

In the last season, Del Bosque has been training Real Madrid's tactical style. With many technical players, the skills of Real Madrid players are very delicate.

Therefore, the tactical style of this Real Madrid team is mainly short pass penetration plus oppressive offensive play.

The oppressive attack is actually substituting offense for defense, suppressing the opponent with a violent attack, forcing the opponent to choose defense, thus handing over the initiative to the attacker.

This Real Madrid attack is aggressive.

Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Bosquen Is Not Convinced That Victorious Valencia Can Beat Real Madrid Offensively

Even without Zidane, Valencia would not have won.

Real Madrid relied on this style of play last season to win the league championship that they had lost for three years. This is Bosque's greatest confidence.

Bosque's mind was full of confrontation with Valencia, and he didn't notice the young man sitting next to Hierro. He looked a little nervous...
