Chapter 128 No Front (24/136)

In fact, Guardiola's accident is also very reasonable, because Chang Sheng himself did not intend to use this tactic in this game at first.

After all, this tactic is still in the experimental stage. He kept communicating with Guardiola and Rudy Gonzalez just to perfect this tactic.

He was just a fan before. Although he paid more attention to tactics, he was able to tell a lot of tactics and development trends in world football, but how to turn his familiar tactics into a complete set of things, including how to train? It's really not something he can do alone.

He needs other help.

Rudy Gonzalez and Guardiola, who are good at tactics, became his good helpers.

Chang Sheng is responsible for providing tactical ideas, and then two people help him perfect them.

But Chang Sheng never expected to use this tactic in this game.

Although he would let the team practice during training, he didn't take it seriously at all.

It was just the few minutes of this game that made Valencia too embarrassed. And if he wants to score goals, he has to come up with something new.

In this way he was forced to push his new tactics to the fore.

※※※

The scene of the game was confusing for Real Madrid players.

Because they found that they didn't know how to defend.

When they tried to defend Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Yakui, the Swede either dropped back into midfield or went wide.

Their back line did not dare to press forward, for fear of letting Valencia hit behind.

What about defending Mendieta? Mendieta's running position is also erratic. The Basque was originally an offensive free agent in the frontcourt, but now he is even more comfortable in Valencia's tactics that require active running and constant switching.

Only Vicente looks the most honest, but he will often switch between the two modes of wing and inside.

Do you think he is going to break through the bottom on the wing? But he made a sudden stop, knocked the football inside, and then changed to cut inside.

You thought he was going to cut inside, but he passed the ball from the outside and accelerated to overtake...

The defenders of Real Madrid are miserable,

It is hard to guard against.

At the same time, Guardiola himself understood why Chang Sheng wanted him to stay in the midfielder position.

When he gets the ball here. Because the distance from the opponent's defensive players is relatively far, neither Makelele nor Elguera can come up to defend immediately.

If they were to jump up to defend Guardiola, then there would be a hole in their own defense zone, allowing Ibrahimovic to take advantage of it.

The two defensive midfielders made shots, allowing Guardiola to pass the ball calmly from behind to organize the attack.

It is wishful thinking to expect players like Zidane and Figo to defend Guardiola. They are not good at defense and have no defensive awareness.

International football at this time. There is no concept of "strangling midfielder" yet... Zidane and Figo are not the kind of strong body and active running. Defensive aggressive frontcourt strangler.

※※※

And Guardiola also found that Ibrahimovic did a good job in the position of "creator".

Because he has skills and consciousness, and the most important point is that his body is much better than Aimar.

Why did Aimar perform so-so in this game?

Because Makelele completely restrained him.

Don't look at Makelele's thin body and low height, but in fact his muscle ratio is quite high, he is very powerful and explosive, otherwise he would not be able to become a well-known midfielder.

In the game, he continued to deal with Aimar with his excellent body and fierce defense, and Aimar seemed very uncomfortable.

but now. His trick is not effective against Ibrahimovic.

Because Ibrahimovic is physically stronger than him.

The Swede's first scoring goal in this game began with a direct dialogue between him and Makelele. As a result, the aggressive Makelele was kicked away by Ibrahimovic, unable to fight back.

In addition to his body, Ibrahimovic has another advantage, and that is technology. Players with outstanding skills can easily stand out from the encirclement and press.

Makelele struggled to defend Ibrahimovic alone. Elguera also came up to help.

Suddenly, Real Madrid looked like Valencia before them.

In the past, Albelda struggled to defend Zidane alone, but now it is completely reversed.

And with this shift, the situation on the court for the two teams has also reversed.

He was beaten by Real Madrid just now. Valencia, who had no power to fight back, gradually gained the upper hand. The key lies in Guardiola and Ibrahimovic.

Chang Sheng's two adjustments changed the game drastically.

※※※

Some people may still have doubts: "There are no strikers in front of the goal, who will score?"

But such a problem is really not a problem for the ever-victorious Valencia.

The victorious Valencia has one of the biggest characteristics this season, that is, there are no players who score a lot of goals. In the top five scorers in La Liga, there are no Valencia players.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored twelve league goals, can only rank sixth in the league scorer list.

But that doesn't mean Valencia lack scoring ability.

On the contrary, in the 28th round of the league, Valencia scored 69 goals, far ahead in the league and the team with the most goals. In fact, the team that scored the most goals in that season in history was Real Madrid, but they only scored 69 goals throughout the season.

And now Valencia has scored 69 goals after 28 rounds in the league...

The secret is that the victorious Valencia does not rely too much on a certain scorer, but more on the whole team.

Valencia's team firepower is very dense, with many offensive firepower points.

Sixteen players have scored in the league alone.

Except Ibrahimovic. No other player has scored in double digits.

Therefore, even if Ibrahimovic is not in the penalty area and there is no striker in front of the goal, Valencia does not lack scoring means and goalscorers.

Mendieta has scored eight league goals this season, while Vicente has eight.

Together with Ibrahimovic, they constantly change positions and run, and they can always find scoring opportunities.

※※※

In the fifth minute after Baraja came on the field, Valencia passed a series of dazzling passes and moves, and the football fell to Ibrahimovic's feet. He was in the midfielder position at this time, facing against the opponent's defense.

He is not extraordinary. He didn't shoot either, but suddenly sent an overhead kick!

This caught Makelele, who had been defending the next three lanes, off guard!

You know, Ibrahimovic has never passed any overhead balls in this game!

Makelele froze in place, looking behind him.

He saw the football go over him, over Hierro's head, and into the penalty area.

At the same time, he also saw the back of Mendieta rushing forward and entering the penalty area!

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic! Beautiful pass! Mendieta! Great movement and well-timed pass! Another great chance for Valencia!"

※※※

Chang Sheng stood up from the sidelines, clenching his fists tightly.

This ball is an excellent opportunity. Can Mendieta catch it?

To be honest, he didn't expect that Ibrahimovic would choose to pick a pass. It was a completely impromptu performance by a Swedish genius.

This is why gifted people are called geniuses!

And obviously Mendieta also saw that gap, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run over...

Make it or break it!

※※※

Ivan Campo saw the football fly overhead, and when he looked back, he saw Mendieta unloading the ball...

So he raised his arm and reminded the linesman and referee that Valencia's captain was offside!

Hierro didn't do this, but rushed directly.

Because he knew that no matter how offside the ball was, Mendieta couldn't let Mendieta kick the football into the goal! If not offside. Isn't that the end of it?

"Mendieta—!" The commentator began to draw out his voice, which was the rhythm of shouting "l".

Mendieta also seemed to notice Hierro's comeback.

The two of them are old teammates in the Spanish national team, and they are very familiar with each other. He knows that this old guy is the most difficult to deal with in Real Madrid's defense.

At the same time, Roberto Carlos found that he had lost his target, and he was also chasing quickly. His speed cannot be underestimated. If he is allowed to post it, he probably won't even think about shooting.

So he temporarily changed his mind. Instead of trying to stop the ball, go straight to the right foot... and shoot!

Volley!

At such a close distance, Mendieta shot vigorously, as long as he hit the goal frame. Goalkeeper Cesar can hardly make any saves!

"Mendieta—!!!l!!!"

The football flew past Cesar's hand and hit the net hard.

Everyone stared blankly at the football caught in the net in the goal.

Five minutes ago, Real Madrid almost broke the goal of Valencia, and five minutes later, Valencia really broke the goal of Real Madrid!

The Bernabéu stadium fell into dead silence again!

The no-front tactics are not really no fronts, but there are blades everywhere, and everyone can score goals!

This is the highest state of no-front tactics. If you just sacrifice a center to serve a certain player and let him score goals, it is just a low-level no-forward tactic!

※※※

Mendieta, who scored the goal, was stunned for a moment, confirming that the football was really in the goal, not on some side net, then he turned around excitedly, took off his jersey, and ran to the corner flag area on the sidelines.

The other Valencia players followed suit, coming from all directions.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Five minutes after Chang made an adjustment, Valencia scored again! The lead was re-extended to two goals! Real Madrid had only just seen hope, and now this hope has been lost. Rencia broke it with his own hands!"

"Ibrahimovic did not enter the penalty area. He frequently retreated and pulled out to play the role of an attacking midfielder, but Valencia did not lose his scoring ability because of this! Mendieta scored twice! The Valencia captain will always be someone you can trust!"

"Chang's previous adjustments and tactics made many people unable to understand, thinking that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor... But now it seems that the situation is not what people imagined! Ibrahimovic's retreat has revitalized Valencia's midfielder, he is better than Aimar in this position!"

How else can we say that the media and commentators are two-faced characters? I was still saying that it was unwise for Changsheng to replace Aimar. What Aimar is the guarantee for Valencia's attack.

Now seeing Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance, he immediately changed his mind, thinking that Aimar deserved to be replaced...

Poor Aimar sitting on the bench...
