Chapter 77 Dangerous Situation?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After the game against Mallorca, Valencia began to prepare for the second round of the UEFA Cup against Celta.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This game is an away game, so Changsheng pays special attention to it. Because the home atmosphere of the British team is very strong, far surpassing La Liga.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He is concerned that his players lack the experience to play in that environment.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In fact, his worries are indeed very reasonable.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When the Valencia players rushed to the away game, they were "warmly received" by the Celtic players from the airport - there were about 500 Celtic fans Came to the airport to "greet" the Valencia players, but the way they greeted them was a little...not friendly.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;They sang the songs of Celtic fans cheering, raised their middle fingers at Valencia, and cursed. Holding up all kinds of slogans and banners mocking and mocking Valencia.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;As soon as they got off the plane and set foot on the ground of Glasgow, the Valencia fans felt the hostility of their opponents.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It felt even worse after the game.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Spanish teams are not good at playing away games. They have always been dragons at home and worms away. If a team can achieve outstanding performance in the away game, then it must not be far from the championship.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This point, even if Chang Sheng came to the team, there is no way to completely change it in just three months.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At Celtic Park, there is a lot of noise and hustle and bustle. Valencia's players seem very uncomfortable here.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The performance is also slightly abnormal.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;We conceded a goal in the first 20 minutes.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Another goal in the second half.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;As a result, the total score of the two sides became 2:2.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng saw this situation and immediately made adjustments. Strengthen your defense.

& nbp;

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At this time, Chang Sheng's cautious habit of practicing penalty kicks the day before the knockout match showed a bit.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia, who was more prepared for penalty kicks, finally eliminated the aggressive Celtics with a penalty score of 5:3.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After this match, Chang Sheng secretly wiped off his sweat.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If it leads 2:0 in the first round. To die in Glasgow...that would be a shame.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The European arena is indeed much more difficult than La Liga. In a small league like the Soviet Super League, there can also be very fierce teams, if you are not careful. It may be overturned to the ground.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At the same time, Chang Sheng gradually felt powerless. Now it is only the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, and there will be quarter-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals in the future.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Do you really want to go all the way to the finals?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng frowned and thought.

Andnbp; Just how much energy does it take?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;As a rookie head coach, he lacks the ability to fight on two fronts in the domestic European war.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Although Chang Sheng is high-minded and crazy, he is still rational.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He was able to say that he won the league championship in the first season because he knew that Valencia did win the championship this season in history. Will it be worse than the master Benitez?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But in the UEFA Cup, Chang Sheng really has no idea.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In case you put too much energy into the UEFA Cup. The league is in a mess, isn't he putting the cart before the horse?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The UEFA Cup is a hasty pass for Valencia, and his goal should be the league championship and qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;I just finished the game against Mallorca, and the lessons learned by Mallorca are still vivid in my mind. Mallorca misjudged the situation, or was tempted by the Champions League cake. As a result, the Champions League did not qualify, and the league was almost relegated.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng doesn't do this kind of thing.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After much deliberation, he decided to give up the UEFA Cup.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In the quarter-finals, I played with half the main force and half the substitute.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Let's focus on the domestic league.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If you don't even win a league championship in the end, wouldn't it prove that you have the advantage of traveling and golden fingers. But even Benitez is not as good as it?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;That's unscientific!

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After playing the UEFA Cup, the time has entered December.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Baja, who had been sidelined for three months due to injury, also returned to the team and started simple recovery training.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At the beginning, the doctors thought that he would only need seven weeks to recover, but who would have thought that after the time was up, he would not be able to recover for a long time.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;And no one knows the reason, and the doctors don't know what's going on after testing the equipment.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So I can only continue to cultivate.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It wasn't until three months later, after the latest examination, that the doctors agreed that he should return to the training ground.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because he has just returned from injury, his state and body are not adjusted to the best state, so he is currently mainly focusing on recovering his body, and the game state is temporarily relying on the b team to play games.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For Baraja, this day has been waited too long.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Although Chang Sheng had personally promised him his position in the team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But when he was lying on the hospital bed, watching the team make rapid progress on all fronts, he felt conflicted. I applaud the team's performance, but worry about returning to the position after the team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Originally he was the absolute main force of Valencia.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But looking at Valencia's current tactics, it is obvious that Guardiola is more suitable for this main force than himself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;And in terms of fame and experience, I am not as good as Guardiola.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In terms of direct lineage, I am not as good as Albelda, who was cultivated by Valencia himself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;What capital do you have to compete for the main force?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So after resuming training, he practiced very hard, even taking the risk of getting injured again.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng had no choice but to dissuade him.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Baraja obviously couldn't listen.

& nbp;

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;However...he thought about it, Baraja was known as a tough guy. For a long time he had not heard of Baraja being injured. In Valencia there is a very high attendance rate.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So... Maybe he's not so unlucky this time.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In the sixteenth round, Valencia played away against Deportivo.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This is also a strong dialogue.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In Spanish football at the turn of the century, many very powerful teams were born, such as Celta Vigo, Mallorca, Deportivo, Valencia...

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But among them, Deportivo is the most stable team among them.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Under the leadership of Irueta, this team from the autonomous region of Galicia became the "Super Depor".

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;From the 19992000 season when they won the league championship, until the 200304 season. This team has never fallen out of the top three in the league.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;They won a league championship, came second twice, and came third twice.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This is the season in history. Valencia finally won the league championship, while Deportivo came second, beating Real Madrid, Barcelona and other teams.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia is still playing away this time. Not to mention the degree of danger.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Before the game, the media were saying that so far Valencia has not tasted a single defeat. Neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona have been able to pull Valencia from the undefeated throne. matter.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Now the most promising and most likely is La Coruña.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because they are playing at home, they are on par with Valencia in terms of strength.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;They occupy the right time, place and people, how can they be invincible?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng is also very aware of this.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In fact, even if his team loses to Deportivo, it will not affect the current ranking, because they are still ahead of the second place.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If you just lose one game, it is not a threat at all.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Chang Sheng didn't want to do that.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Even if the hope of victory in this game is very low, there is still hope.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;During the half a week of training before the game, he kept instilling in his players the idea that this game must not be lost.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Until the game. With fifteen minutes left, the game started, and he was still talking about this question.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I know that we are facing a very difficult situation in this game. The team is a little tired from continuous fighting. Is the reason why we give up this game subjectively? No! I always firmly believe that in the face of a strong team, no matter how unfavorable the situation, we must dare to fight against it! So even if we grit our teeth and persist, we must not lose to opponent!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The situation of this game is so severe, but even so, Ibrahimovic did not get the chance to play.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;4231. Even Aimar.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a wild horse, Chang Sheng had to be more cautious and stricter. Because if Ibrahimovic can't be completely tidied up this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop until this season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The competition was very intense, even cruel.

& nbp;

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia's midfield brain is Guardiola, while Deportivo is Belleron.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The contest between these two top midfielders.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Deportivo took advantage of the home court to score the first goal.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But just after the start of the second half, Valencia stubbornly pulled back a point.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In the next 68 minutes, Deportivo took the lead again, this time it was Djaminha who scored the goal.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Deportivo takes the lead again!

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When Djaminha blasted the football into the goal, there was a huge cheer at the Riazor Stadium, as if they had won the game.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Even the commentator Moen was cheering for Deportivo: "The powerful Super Deport! Super Deport! It seems that only they can defeat Valencia and end their struggle Undefeated!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Super Depor! Super Depco!!" As if cooperating with him, deafening cheers sounded from the stands of Riazor Stadium.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Among their shouts, the Deportivo players were celebrating, while the Valencia players were a little lost.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The huge sound waves hit the eardrums and hearts of each of them, making them feel suffocated.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng bit his lower lip tightly and stared at the court.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The past few years have been the time when Deportivo's momentum is at its peak. Their team has achieved outstanding results, and the fans are naturally full of confidence. The arrogance of a hero in the world".

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Later, with the departure of Irueta, La Coruña declined and was even downgraded.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The atmosphere at the Riazor Stadium is not as good as it is now, and the fans' spirits are much lower.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But that was later. Chang Sheng was unlucky to meet the most powerful Deportivo.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Do you want to admit defeat because of this?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Of course not!

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the bench.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Ibrahimovic sat on the bench expressionlessly. . .
