Chapter 47

The next day's newspapers were full of reports about the game.

Not only the media in Valencia and Madrid, but all of Spain are discussing this game.

The media in Barcelona, ​​in particular, is full of all kinds of ridicule for beating Real Madrid, the underdog, and all kinds of praise for Valencia.

As the head coach of Valencia, Chang Sheng was almost labeled as "an old friend of the people of Barcelona"...

Real Madrid lost so badly, who is the happiest? Of course it's Barcelona.

They almost failed to qualify for the Champions League last season, but they were often ridiculed by the media in the Madrid area.

Now, they can be considered to have found an opportunity to vent their anger.

So even though they weren't the ones who won, they acted as if they had won.

Some Catalan media even issued an appeal, thinking that Gaspart, the chairman of the Barcelona club, should not continue to trust Rexach, but should grab the Chinese head coach in the summer.

They cited many reasons to prove that they are not joking.

First of all, Chang Sheng is capable, which can be seen from his performance in coaching Getafe.

Secondly, Changsheng has hatred for both teams in Madrid. Given that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Changsheng should obviously be closer to Barcelona...

The third point, with Barcelona's influence and status, how can it be more attractive to Changsheng than Valencia?

Although Valencia took the lead and snatched away Changsheng, Barcelona don't have to be discouraged. Even if Changsheng can't coach the team now, after a season, Barcelona can bring him from Valencia to Camp Nou.

Chang Sheng won the favor of Barcelona in one game, which sounds particularly fantastic and unbelievable. But considering the complex ecological chain of Spanish football, it is normal.

Any enemy of Real Madrid, Barcelona are happy to recruit.

In addition, the relationship between Barcelona and Valencia is not too bad, they are considered competitors, but not sworn enemies. The two clubs could even be regarded as allies in the joint battle against the capital team...

Therefore, the transfer operation that the media said to let Chang Sheng go to Barcelona may really become a reality.

The Valencia media didn't bother to consider whether Chang Sheng would go to Barcelona in the future. They are busy singing praises to Chang Sheng.

They also questioned Chang Sheng's signings and tactics before, and some media ridiculed Chang Sheng's tactics as "headless tactics."

Now that sound has completely disappeared.

All the Valencia media are exclaiming that China Chang is amazingly capable, and he directed the "Mestalla Tragedy". Then he talked about the unfair treatment Chang Sheng suffered in Real Madrid, saying that Real Madrid died in his hands, it is really unfair!

As for signings, there are only overwhelming praises, and there is no other voice.

Doing so is somewhat nasty.

But the fact is that all the players brought in by Changsheng have performed well.

Needless to say, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the player who was questioned that his high value would bring him pressure, not only used his skills to break through Pavon many times in the game, but also caused a lot of trouble for Pavon. Even scored a goal and assisted

He can be regarded as the main contributor to Changsheng's big break of Zidane's Pavone policy.

Based on the performance of this game, will anyone dare to say that Ibrahimovic will not be able to succeed in the future?

Carvalho and Ferreira are the other two new players starting this game.

Their performance is not as dazzling as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but it is also very important. Do your job in a low-key manner.

Both of them did their part defensively.

Carvalho's cooperation with Ayala in the central defender position is very tacit. Although he is not tall, he has repeatedly performed well in defensive headers. In addition, he also showed his talent in the card position.

Ferreira seemed cautious in the game, and he didn't have any impressive performance in offense. He was far worse than Aurelio, the Brazilian full-back on the other side. But if you look at the people he faces on the right, you can understand his caution.

Roberto Carlos, Raul, and Solari bombed here in turn.

It wasn't until Real Madrid collapsed that the pressure on his side eased.

A full-back is measured by more than goals.

Defense is also very important.

As a full-back, Aurelio is sharp in offense but average in defense. Although Ferreira's offense is mediocre, his victory lies in his excellent defense.

These media remembered what happened to their Madrid counterparts-in Changsheng's only full season of coaching Getafe, Changsheng introduced many players. Before those players came to Getafe, all of them were unknown.

As a result, one season has passed, and these players have become sought-after items in the transfer market.

Getafe's turbulent period of changing the club's president has finally ended, and they can also carry out transfer transactions. Senna was immediately bought by Villarreal.

After Luis Garcia returned to Valladolid, he was repurchased by Barcelona. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that he had the opportunity to return to Camp Nou.

Charisteas was also favored by many clubs, but because the price was not negotiated, he did not leave in the end.

These are the players that Changsheng introduced at the beginning.

In fact, he has already proved his vision in Getafe. But there will always be people who think it was a fluke.

Now, far fewer people think so.

The odds of getting away with two seasons in a row are simply too low.

No matter how reluctant he is, he has to admit that Chang Sheng has a unique way of seeing players.

Not to mention, Chang Sheng has won the favor of the local media in Valencia through many performances and details in this game.

In the confrontation with the media, this may be the smoothest and easiest time for him to win.

Even when he was in Getafe, he went through a long time and offended the media in the city, and finally achieved a decisive reversal in the game against Gorka...

Now, a 5:0 victory will solve all the problems, which is really worry-free and labor-saving.

※※※

In a game, you win the opponent and the media.

And he is finally going to move out of the hotel where he has lived for more than a month, and move into the new house that the club found for him.

In China, this is the joy of housewarming.

Normally speaking, Chang Sheng should be in a good mood.

But it is not.

Because he received a very bad bad news.

Baraja, who was injured in the game, was examined at the local hospital and was diagnosed with a ruptured quadriceps muscle fiber in his right leg. It is conservatively estimated that he will be out for seven weeks, more than two months.

This is not counting the time for him to recover and train after his injury.

It is estimated that it will take three months to go.

This means that he may not be able to play for the team for half the season.

For Valencia, which has only three defensive midfielders, this blow is heavy.

When Chang Sheng heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong at first. How could an iron man like Baraja suffer such a serious injury?

You must know that in later generations, he has a nickname of "Warren Iron Man".

This shows his attendance rate.

But the news was accurate, and Baraja was indeed seriously injured. That's how bad his luck is.

Originally there were three reliable players in the defensive midfielder position, but now one is seriously injured, which means that he will only rely on Guardiola and Albelda to support the midfield for at least half of the next season.

These two people can't be injured at all, and they can't be in a bad state.

Otherwise, his new tactics will not work.

In the winning tactics, the midfielder is very important.

If Guardiola plays, it will be very helpful to the team's offense, but it will also weaken the team's defense.

This is why Chang Sheng didn't let Guardiola start in the first game against Real Madrid. Although he hesitated, he was reluctant to bear Guardiola's ability.

It turned out to be fine now, and Baraja was injured.

He didn't have to hesitate any longer.

Guardiola will get the main force.

But in this way, it is necessary to emphasize the team's control over football.

Because only by strengthening the control of the midfield can it be possible to strengthen the team's defense.

Since you can't face the enemy head-on in the midfield, you can overcome strength with softness. Use the strong ability to control the ball to firmly control the football at your feet, reduce the opponent's offensive opportunities, and thereby reduce the opponent's goals.

In addition, we must make full use of Guardiola's offensive ability. His passing and ball control are currently the best in Valencia's team. It would be too wasteful not to make full use of them.

Albelda has to take on more defensive tasks, and no one can help him...

Chang Sheng felt a headache when he thought of these changes.

But there is no way, it must be changed.

If you don't change, just wait to die.

Football is really a simple yet complex sport.

A single hair will affect the whole body, if one place changes, the tactics of the whole team may need to be adjusted...

Chang Sheng understands why the private lives of so many head coaches are very simple, and there are few scandals, and they rarely appear in public.

They really don't have much energy to do those things...

You have to work every day when you work, and you have to work when you come home.

While the players were having fun in bars and nightclubs, they were at home poring over replays of each other's games. When the players are shopping with their girlfriends, they are thinking about how to design targeted tactics. When the players go home to relax after training, they also have to summarize the results of the day's training to understand the gains and losses.

They are so busy, how can they still have time to go out and drink and be merciful?

Another very important reason is that the coaches are not young anymore, they are not as energetic as young people, and they have housework, so it is not convenient to go out and mess around...

※※※

When the team resumed training the next day, many found that their training schedule had changed.

More offensive training and tactical training, the intensity and content of colleagues' tactical training have increased.

This is the experience that Chang Sheng summed up.

Different training has different effects. If your style is different, the focus of training should also be different.

It's not like everyone thinks, the training is all about group confrontation and shooting, teasing monkeys and so on.

If you are a coach, if you like ball possession and offense and you prefer to use technique to beat your opponents, then you should alternate offense and possession drills.

If you prefer a more possession-based tactic, alternating offensive and defensive drills will be more effective.

If you like defensive tactics, it will be more effective to alternate defensive training and tactical training.

If you like the tactics of letting go and quick defensive counterattacks, it will be more effective to use defense and physical training alternately-changsheng is like this in Getafe, so he pays special attention to the two trainings of defense and physical fitness in Getafe, The training skills given to him by the system are also physical training skills. Obviously, the system is also knowledgeable. At that time, it didn't give him a bunch of skills to improve the skills of the players.

If you like possession and offense and prefer to beat opponents with passing, you should alternate offense and tactics. Changsheng is like this now, and Valencia is like this now, so he should use more offensive training and tactical training in training.

Chang Sheng didn't understand these relationships before, but after he got [Golden Eyes], he was able to see the changes in the attributes of the players, and after comparing them with training skills, he knew the reason.

Because offensive training improves the players' attributes of [Crossing], [Shooting], [Long Shot], [Vision], and [Running without the ball]. These attributes all play an important role in offense.

The tactical training improves [anticipation], [calmness], [concentration], [decision], and [teamwork]. These are all conducive to the team's perfect and faithful execution of tactics, especially the [teamwork] attribute is simply too suitable for training tactics that focus on passing.

In addition to the changes in team training, there have also been changes in individual training.

For example, the intensity of Albelda's defensive training sessions has increased.

Julio Redondo, the coach in charge of defensive training, told Albelda: "When Baraja is injured, it is often thought that you need to take on more defensive tasks. In offense, you have to take on more defensive tasks. Keep Guardiola safe."

The local tough guy in Valencia didn't even frown, and nodded in response: "No problem!"

Defeating Real Madrid in the first game made Albelda, a player who was originally a wait-and-see attitude, have more expectations and trust in Changsheng, and now he will naturally agree soon.

He seems to feel that Valencia is indeed on the right path under the leadership of the Chinese coach.

In fact, there are more than one people who have this idea. Many players who played for Valencia last season are also full of confidence in the future.

Just because of that 5:0.

It's been two days since the game ended, and the media are still hyping up the game.

It is said that Real Madrid is already in chaos. No one expected that the ambitious giants would be stumbled by Valencia at the first step of their new journey, and then beaten down so hard that even their own mother did not know. up.

Almost every hour brings new news from Madrid.

Why Florentino and Bosque had a violent quarrel.

Why did Florentino refuse to admit his mistakes, and planned to forcibly promote Zidanega Pavon's policy.

What Florentino was hit hard, ready to terminate Zidanega Pavon's policy...

Etc., etc.

No one knows what the truth is, but at least it looks hilarious.

Such a scene has not been seen for a long time.

Real Madrid can be so chaotic in one game, these Valencia players have never seen it before.

Even if they won Real Madrid in the past, they won if they won. After one day, this influence dissipated. No one is interested in paying attention to this game. What should Real Madrid do? To put it bluntly, the outcome of a game cannot shake their foundation at all.

But it's different now.

Just look at the untrue news from Madrid, and you will know how bad their situation is...

And who caused all this?

Ever win!

Their new head coach!

If Chang Sheng uses [Golden Pupil] to scan at this time, he will definitely find that the reputation of many players has almost risen to friendly.

The overall reputation of the whole team has also jumped a lot, and it is also approaching the line of promotion.

※※※

After the team's training was arranged, Chang Sheng went to the hospital after the training.

He went to see Baraja.

He and Baraja can't talk about friendship. He has been in this team for too short a time, and he hasn't had time to establish friendship with most of the players.

But this is an opportunity.

For Chang Sheng, being able to subdue one is one.

He did not hesitate to praise Ibrahimovic's performance in front of the media, and now he went to visit Baraja again.

All hope to get the support of the players.

To get the support of the other party, it is natural to make friends with the other party.

In fact, Chang Sheng feels that he should have an advantage in this regard, because he is young enough. Although he may be looked down upon sometimes, he is also easy to make friends with the players and can get closer.

Because age will not create a generation gap between him and the players.

He can be tough on the training ground and on the pitch, but that doesn't stop him from having a good relationship with his players in private.

Because it is impossible to really subdue these players only by being strict.

Valencia and Getafe are different. Getafe's players are all **, all of them have never seen the world, and have failed for a long time. As long as they can bring them victory, they will naturally support themselves sincerely.

And what about Valencia? Most players are well-informed, and they have championship experience-the King's Cup in the 97-98 season, and the Spanish Super Cup in the 98-99 season.

There are also many players transferred from other teams, and their experience is much richer than that of Getafe's players.

The mere victory of such players cannot make them really support themselves.

They crave more and are not so easily satisfied.

Maybe only the champion.

But before the championship?

Always get their support.

Chang Sheng held a large bouquet of flowers, just entered the hospital, and then took the elevator to the door of Baraja's ward.

Then he knocked on the door, and Baraja's voice sounded inside: "Please come in."

Then when Chang Sheng pushed the door and entered, Baraja was taken aback.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the first person to visit him was the team's head coach.

Seeing Baraja's surprised expression, Chang Sheng deliberately asked suspiciously: "Is it inconvenient, Lu Wen?"

Baraja shook his head quickly. After being surprised, I was moved. After all, the player is still innocent. If you show kindness to him, he will naturally return your kindness.

They don't think of too many conspiracy theories, such as the fact that the head coach is using his emotions.

Being seriously injured and missing several months of games has already made him low.

In the first season of the new coach, when everyone was desperately expressing themselves, hoping to win the favor of the new coach and seek the main position, he was injured in the first game.

So what will the team look like after he recovers from injury?

Will he still get the main position?

You must know that Guardiola is also a very capable player, even far better than him.

Any normal person would probably be inclined to choose Guardiola and let him play as a substitute.

In fact, in the first game of the league against Real Madrid, Baraja thought that Albelda and Guardiola would start. Guardiola is outstanding, and Albelda is a young rookie trained by Valencia himself. He was transferred from Atletico Madrid, and I heard that the new head coach hates Atletico Madrid. Will it cause trouble?

I didn't expect him to be able to start the game.

This made him very happy, and he planned to take this opportunity to show his ability and win the favor of the new head coach.

Unexpectedly, he suffered such a serious injury during the game.

The bright future has all come to naught...

Baraja, who was in a low mood, was suddenly very moved when he saw that the person who came to visit him turned out to be the head coach.

Because this shows that the head coach has not forgotten himself!

The future may not be as pessimistic as he thought!
