Chapter 108: The Victory Is Determined (14/136)

The Barcelona players felt aggrieved playing on the court, and Rexach, the head coach of Barcelona, ​​also felt aggrieved watching off the court.

Valencia's football is somewhat similar to their football, but it is obviously better, sharper and more offensive than Barcelona's football. Even their defense makes people feel like they are attacking.

The Catalan media also have this feeling that Barcelona seems to have nothing to do with Valencia.

Before the game, they advocated the friendly relationship between the two teams in order to alleviate Valencia's vigilance against Barcelona. Now it seems that Valencia has not been fooled, but they seem like self-indulgent clowns.

Before the end of the first half, Valencia scored another goal. Like the first ball, it was still a siege in the frontcourt, and the attack was launched directly after stealing the ball, which caught Barcelona by surprise.

In the end, Mendieta scored the second goal.

"Mendieta!!! Barcelona looked defenseless at the Mestalla... Before the game everyone thought it would be a close game, but now it looks like it's not the case... Cooper's It’s not that Valencia has never won against Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but they are always lucky or difficult to win. How is it like the current Valencia team? They easily scored two goals against Barcelona at home!”

"Valencia plays a kind of advanced and powerful football. The scene is pleasing to the eye, and at the same time, it can win. We have always said that the result and the process cannot have both. Those who play beautifully often cannot win the ball, but the emergence of Valencia , Changed our understanding, they not only play well, they can win!!"

Amid the huge cheers at the Mestalla, Barcelona's players looked dismayed.

They didn't expect the road trip to be so difficult.

Originally, the infighting exhausted the energy of many players, so that their minds were not on the game. Now that they have faced another blow, many players have not yet reacted to it. How did the game play like this?

When Real Madrid was reversed by Valencia 2:1 at home, Barcelona fans laughed happily in front of the TV. Now it's the turn of Real Madrid fans to watch Barcelona's jokes.

And the Valencia fans just need to celebrate.

Rudy Gonzalez Turns On Victory: "We Can Start Celebrating The Championship Early,

right? "

Chang Sheng chuckled: "Low-key, low-key."

In fact, he was very happy.

I won the league championship in the first season of Getafe, and I am not as excited as I am now, because it is the second division after all, and it is not so difficult to win the championship, or because the league is not well-known, so even if the championship is not well-known, the sense of accomplishment not tall.

The First Division is different. He led Valencia and defeated teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Deportivo... What an amazing thing to win the championship in the end!

Champions of the Spanish Football League! When I was a fan in the past, I could only watch a few powerful teams fight for it. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to end the game myself and participate in this game.

What's even more unexpected is that when you come down to play by yourself, you can still gain the upper hand!

From now on, this all-powerful European football will write its own name!

Leading the team to win the second division championship, at most, has a high reputation in Spain. But when he became the head coach of the Champion of the First Division, he also gained status in the entire European football world.

At that time, whether in Valencia or other places, I will not have to worry about finding a job. Like more than two years ago, for a job, I traveled all over Spain, begging my grandpa to tell my grandmother, and finally the days when I ran out of ammunition and food and couldn’t find a job, will never come back!

A championship is his best resume.

During the intermission, Chang Sheng praised the team's performance, but he didn't get carried away with their praise.

"A complete game is 90 minutes and consists of two halves of 45 minutes each. Just because we performed well in the first half doesn't mean we performed well in the second half. I praise you because of your first half. The game was outstanding, but don’t think that you can indulge in the second half. In the second half, we will continue to maintain our style and play an oppressive defense in the frontcourt. Barcelona are not used to this kind of defense. We must strive to score one more before they adapt. Ball, so even if they adapt, it will be too late!"

On the tactical board behind Chang Sheng, several names were marked, all of which were crossed out. This is what Chang Sheng marked for the team before the game. Barcelona's dangerous mission requires the whole team to focus on defense.

In the most conspicuous position, the name "Harvey" is impressively listed.

Although Harvey is not as famous as he is now, he is already recognized as an excellent player by everyone.

He made his debut for the first team in the 1998 Super Cup, starting and scoring a goal, and he couldn't have made a better debut.

So after time travel, Chang Sheng never thought of poaching Harvey, he knew he couldn't poach Harvey, not even on loan. Xavi has become Barcelona's main midfielder, which is one reason why Guardiola will lose his position in Barcelona.

Chang Sheng attaches great importance to Harvey.

The reason why Valencia was able to take the lead so easily in this game has a lot to do with Albelda and Baraja taking turns defending Harvey and freezing Harvey.

Maybe they haven't realized how capable Harvey is, they just treat Harvey as an ordinary starter.

But Chang Sheng knows that Harvey's importance in Barcelona is just like that of Alonso in Real Madrid. When he is on the court, you will not think he is great, but when he is not on the court, you will I will start missing him crazily...

Xavi is Barcelona's metronome. Although it has not been too obvious now, there are already faint signs of this.

In the 1999-2000 season when Guardiola was absent due to injury, Harvey had already secured the team's main midfield position. He used his actual performance to prove that he can completely replace Guardiola. This is also the determination of the Barcelona club. One of the reasons why Guardiola left.

However, if Chang Sheng now says that Harvey can win the Golden Globe, I'm afraid it will still cause a lot of doubts and ridicule, thinking that he is flattering and licking Barcelona's chrysanthemum.

But Chang Sheng knows that Harvey has such ability, and his performance has been very stable.

So in this game, his defense against Harvey was particularly tight.

In the beginning, everyone thought that the head coach was making a fuss, but now they don't see it that way.

After freezing Harvey, Barcelona's offensive threat has indeed been reduced a lot.

Just as they froze Belleron, Deportivo's offense was paralyzed.

Harvey always has at least two people guarding him.

At this time, Harvey was still a little green, and his ability to turn around and protect the ball was not as sharp and skillful as before. Now that two people surrounded him, the "Lungs of Barcelona" fell into a quagmire.

Through the games against Real Madrid, Deportivo and Barcelona, ​​Chang Sheng fully utilized the advantages of the reborn traverser.

The reborn can't only use their predictive advantages in the transfer market. When you know enough about a player's future trajectory, and a team's future trajectory, you'll know what their real strengths and weaknesses are, rather than being bogged down by current evaluations. To put it simply, as a traveler, Chang Sheng has the ability to see through the fog of history, so the conclusion he draws is naturally the most correct.

He knows Harvey's achievements in the future, and also knows Harvey's current limitations. As long as he makes a fuss about this point, it will be difficult for Harvey not to lose!

The halftime break went quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

Neither team made substitution adjustments, and Xavi remained on the pitch despite being horribly limited by Albelda and Baraja in the first half.

Perhaps for Rexach, this does not mean that he has enough trust in Harvey, but that the current Barcelona midfielder really cannot find a suitable replacement. There was a Guardiola before, but now that Guardiola has gone to Valencia, there is no one else except Xavi.

Rivaldo's personal strength is superior, but he is not an offensive organizer, he is an assaulter. Whether in Barcelona or in the Brazilian national team, he played like this.

The last round of the league last season is an excellent portrayal of his characteristics.

However, this kind of explosive performance sometimes really depends on luck. It can't be explosive at any time, nor can it be explosive whenever you want.

For example, Waldo's performance in this game was far less amazing than last season.

His breakthrough and long-range shots are still very threatening, but under Chang Sheng's targeted defense, he is just an ordinary threatening player. There are still many ways to contain him, and there is a high probability.

The most important thing is to cut off the connection between Harvey and other players, and Rivaldo can only do it alone. What Chang Sheng is most afraid of is the lonely hero, because there is always a way to deal with them.

※ ※ ※

Because Rexach didn't make any adjustments, Barcelona's offense didn't improve.

Chang Sheng simply used this strong team to practice tactics.

He plans to practice defending with -taka.

-taka is a possession tactic that many consider to represent beautiful attacking football. But in fact -taka can also be used for defense. Even ball control tactics have been for defense since the day it was born.

In 1872, the England team went to Patrick to participate in the first international football match in the history of football. The opponent was the Scottish team. A Scottish team, now in the Scottish Third Division). The Scots knew they were far inferior to England in terms of weight, and they realized that they would be at a disadvantage if they used the long ball and slam game that was common at the time, so they decided to use an extreme style of play.

There is no direct evidence to fully prove this, but according to the Scottish Football Museum, it is very likely that this is the case-this group of Queens Park Rangers players at the time must pass the ball around the opponent. Keep England away from the football to stop these hunks from scoring.

The strategy worked. England, with a longer tradition and far more players to choose from, were favourites, but the game ended in a goalless draw.

And one of the great advantages of the Scottish team fighting locally is that their teamwork is extremely good-how is this different from today's passing and possession tactics?

Why the later "Cosmic Team" Barcelona's defense was so good has a lot to do with their insistence on passing and possession tactics.

When the football is always passed under their feet, and the opponent can only run behind the football's buttocks, the opponent's chances of threatening Barcelona's goal will naturally be less.

In the past, the universe team used it to kill you on other teams. Now Changsheng wants to test this trick on the future universe team... (to be continued.
