Chapter Forty-Seven: Favorability Rises
The next day's newspaper media was full of reports about the game.
Not only the media in Valencia and Madrid, but all of Spain are talking about this match.
The Barcelona media, in particular, was full of all kinds of ridicule about the beating of the water dogs Real Madrid, as well as all kinds of praise for Valencia.
As the head coach of Valencia, Chang Sheng was almost branded as an "old friend of the Barcelona people......
Real Madrid lost so badly, who is the happiest? It's Barcelona, of course.
They came close to qualifying for the Champions League last season, but they were ridiculed by the media in the Madrid area.
Now, they can be considered to have found an opportunity to vent this evil breath.
So even though they weren't the ones who won, they acted like they had won.
Some Catalan media even appealed that Barcelona club president Gaspart should not continue to trust Rexach, but should grab the Chinese head coach in the summer.
They cite a number of reasons to prove that they are not joking.
First of all, he has the ability to win, as can be seen from his achievements in charge of Getafe.
Secondly, Chang Sheng has a grudge against both Madrid teams, and given that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, then Chang Sheng should obviously be closer to Barcelona......
Thirdly, with Barcelona's influence and status, how can it be more attractive than Valencia to win?
Although Valencia took the lead and snatched the permanent victory, Barcelona need not be discouraged, even if the permanent winner cannot coach the team now, and wait for a season. Barcelona could also bring him from Valencia to Camp Nou.
It sounds particularly fantastical to win a perennial win over Barcelona in one game. Incredible. But given the complex ecological chain of Spanish football, this is normal.
Any enemy of Real Madrid, Barcelona are happy to recruit.
In addition, the relationship between Barcelona and Valencia is not too bad, it is considered a rival, but it is not a sworn enemy. In the common front against the capital's teams, the two clubs can even be considered allies......
Therefore, the transfer operation that the media said about letting Chang Sheng go to Barcelona is really likely to become a reality.
The media on Valencia's side did not bother to consider whether Chang Sheng would go to Barcelona in the future. They're busy singing praises to Chang Sheng.
Previously, they had questioned the recruitment and tactics of Chang Sheng, and some media ridiculed Chang Sheng's tactics as "headless fly tactics".
Now such voices are completely gone.
All the Valencian media are exclaiming that China is capable of amazing abilities, and that he directed the "Mestalla tragedy". Later, he talked about the unfair treatment suffered by Chang Sheng in Real Madrid, saying that Real Madrid died at his hands, which is really unjust!
As for recruitment. There is only overwhelming praise. Other than that, there was no sound.
This is somewhat suspicious.
But the fact is that all the players brought in by Changsheng have performed well.
Needless to say, Ibrahimovic, a player who has been questioned for putting pressure on him because of his high value, has not only used his skills to break through Pavon many times in the game, but also caused Pavon a lot of problems. He also scored a goal and assisted
He is the main contributor to the frequent victory and breaking of Zidanegavon's policies.
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 Pacos Ferreira are two other new signings for the game.
Their performances weren't as dazzling as Ibrahimovic's, but they were very important. Do your job well in a low-key manner.
Both of them contributed defensively.
Carvalho has a very good combination with Ayala at centre-back, and although he is not very tall, he has repeatedly performed well in defensive headers. In addition, he has shown his talent in card slotting.
Pacos Ferreira was cautious in the game and did not shine much in attack, far worse than the Brazilian full-back of Aurelio on the other side. But one has to look at the guys he faces on the right flank, and it's understandable that he's cautious.
Robert. Carlos and Raul. And Solari is bombing this side in turn.
It wasn't until Real Madrid completely collapsed later that the pressure on his side eased.
It's not just about scoring goals that measure a full-back.
Defense, too, is very important.
Aurelio is a sharp attack as a full-back, but the defense is average. Ferreira, on the other hand, has an average offense, but he is excellent defensively.
The media were reminded of what happened to their Madrid counterparts – who brought in a number of players in their only full season in charge of Getafe. Those players before they came to Getafe. All of them are unknown.
As a result, a season has passed, and these players have become sought-after goods in the transfer market.
Getafe's turbulent period of change of president has finally come to an end, and they can also make a transfer deal. Senna was immediately bought by Villarreal.
Louis. Garcia was bought back by Barcelona after returning to Valladolid, and it was his outstanding performances that gave him the opportunity to return to Camp Nou.
Charlie Steias was also favored by a number of clubs, but in the end he did not leave due to the price not being negotiated.
These are all players that Changsheng brought in at the beginning.
In fact, he had already proven his vision in Getafe. But there are always people who think it's a fluke.
Now, there are far fewer people who think that way.
The odds of getting lucky for two seasons in a row are just too low.
No matter how reluctant he is, he has to admit that Chang Sheng has a unique vision for looking at players.
Not to mention, Chang Sheng has already won the goodwill of the local media in Valencia through many performances and details in this match.
In the confrontation with the media, this may be the smoothest and easiest time for him to win.
Even when he was in Getafe, it took a long time to offend the city's media before he finally managed to make a decisive comeback against Gorka......
Now, a big 5-0 win solves the whole problem. It's really worry-free and effort-saving.
※※※
A game, won the opponent. Also won the media.
And he was finally moving out of the hotel where he had lived for more than a month and into the new house that the club had found for him.
In China, this is a housewarming joy.
It stands to reason that the mood of winning should be good.
But in reality, this is not the case.
Because he got bad news.
After being examined at a local hospital, Baraja, who was injured in the game, was diagnosed with a ruptured muscle fiber in his quadriceps muscle in his right leg, and it is conservatively estimated that he will be out for seven weeks, more than two months.
And that's not counting the time he had had taken to recover and train after his injury.
I guess it's going to take three months.
That means he could not play for the team for half a season.
The blow was heavy for Valencia, who only had three midfielders.
When Chang Sheng heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong at first. How could an iron man like Baraha suffer such a serious injury?
You must know that in later generations, he has a nickname "Valen Iron Man".
This shows his attendance.
But this information is accurate, and Baraha is indeed seriously injured. His luck was just that bad.
Originally, there were three reliable people in the back position. Now one is seriously injured. This means that he will have to rely on Pep Guardiola and Albelda to support the midfield for at least the next half of the season.
These two people can't be hurt at all, and they can't be in bad shape.
Otherwise, his new tactics won't work.
In a winning tactic, the midfielder is very important.
Pep Guardiola's play, when he comes on, is very helpful for the team's attack. But it can also weaken the team's defense.
This is also the reason why when the first game against Real Madrid was played, the constant win did not let Pep Guardiola. Although he was hesitant and reluctant to be able to do so.
It turned out that now it is better, and Baraha is injured.
He didn't have to hesitate anymore.
Pep Guardiola will get the main force.
However, this will require more emphasis on the team's control of the football.
Because it is only possible to strengthen the team's defense if the control of the midfield is strengthened.
Since you can't go head-to-head with the enemy in the midfield, you have to be soft. Use your strong ball control ability to keep the ball firmly at your feet and reduce the opponent's attacking opportunities. Thus lowering the opponent's goals.
In addition, it is necessary to make full use of Pep Guardiola's attacking ability, his passing and possession are among the best in the Valencia team at the moment, and it would be a waste not to make full use of them.
Albelda has more defensive responsibilities to take on and there is no one to help him out yet......
Chang Sheng felt a headache at the thought of these changes.
But there is no way, it must be changed.
If you don't change, just wait for death.
Football is a sport that is both simple and complex.
Domino effect. If there is a change in one place, the tactics of the whole team may need to be adjusted......
Chang Shengli understands why so many managers have very simple private lives, and there are few scandals, and they rarely appear in public.
They don't really have a lot of energy to do that......
I have to work every day when I work, and I have to work the same time when I get home.
While the players were having fun in bars and nightclubs, they were studying the video footage of the game at home. While the players and their girlfriends were shopping for the club, they were thinking about how to devise targeted tactics. When the players go home to relax after training, they also have to summarize the results of the day's training and understand the gains and losses.
They are so busy, so what time do they have to go out and spend time and be merciful everywhere?
In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, the coaches are not young, their energy is not as good as that of young people, and they also have family affairs, so it is not convenient to go out and mess around......
※※※
When the team resumed training the next day, many people noticed that their training plan had changed.
More offensive training and tactical training have been conducted, and the intensity and content of tactical training for colleagues have increased.
This is the experience that Chang Sheng summed up.
Different training has different effects, and if you have a different style, the focus should be different.
It's not like everyone thinks, training is what group confrontation and shooting, funny monkeys and so on.
If you are a head coach. If you like possession and attacking tactics, you prefer to use technique to beat your opponents. Then you should alternate between attacking and possession.
If you prefer tactics with more possession, then alternating between offensive and defensive drills will be more effective.
If you like defensive tactics, then it will be more effective to alternate defensive training with tactical training.
If you like the tactics of letting go and defending quickly on the counter-attack, then it is more effective to alternate between defensive and physical training - Chang Sheng is like this in Getafe, so he pays special attention to the two training of defense and physical fitness in Getafe, and the training skills given to him by the system are also physical training skills, obviously the system is also knowledgeable, and he did not give him a bunch of skills to improve the player's foot skills at that time.
If you prefer possession and attacking tactics and prefer to beat opponents with passing, then you should alternate attacking and tactical drills. That's what we do now. Valencia is such a tactic now. So he should use more offensive training and tactical training in training.
Chang Sheng didn't understand these relationships before, but when he did, he was able to see the changes in the attributes of the players, and then compared them with the training skills, and he knew the reason.
Because offensive training improves the 、、、、 attributes of the players. These attributes all play an important role in the offense.
And the tactical training is improved by , , and, . All of this is conducive to the team's perfect and faithful execution of tactics. In particular, this attribute is simply too suitable for training pass-based tactics.
In addition to the changes in the training of the whole team, there are also changes in individual training.
Albelda, for example, has increased the intensity of his defensive training sessions.
Coach Julio in charge of defensive training. Here's what Redondo said to Albelda: "With Baraja injured, you often think you need to take on more defensive duties. In attack, you also have to keep Guardiola safe. ”
The Valencia local tough guy didn't even frown, and nodded directly: "No problem!" ”
The first game against Real Madrid made Albelda, a player who was originally a wait-and-see attitude, have more expectations and trust in Chang Sheng, and now he is naturally committed.
He seems to feel that Valencia, under the leadership of the Chinese coach, is indeed on the right path.
In fact, there is more than one person who thinks this way. Many of the players who played for Valencia last season are also confident about 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 match.
It is said that Real Madrid has become a mess inside, and no one expected that the ambitious giants would be mixed up by Valencia at the first step of embarking on a new journey, and then they were so beaten that they didn't even know their own mother.
Almost every hour there is new news coming out of Madrid.
What a heated quarrel broke out between Florentino and Bosque?
What Florentino does not admit his mistake and intends to forcibly promote Zidanegapavon's policy.
What Florentino has been hit hard and is ready to end Zidanegapaven's policy......
And so on and so forth.
No one knows what the truth is. But at least it looks hilarious.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene.
One game can make Real Madrid so chaotic, these Valencia players have never seen it before.
In the past, even if they won against Real Madrid, they would have won, but after a day, the influence dissipated and no one was interested in following the game anymore, what should Real Madrid do. To put it bluntly, the victory or defeat of a game cannot shake their foundation at all.
But now it's different.
Just look at the unbelievable news coming out of Madrid to see how bad their situation is......
And who is responsible for all this?
Always win!
Their new head coach!
If you scan it at this time, you will definitely find that many players' reputation has almost risen to friendly.
The overall prestige of the whole team has also jumped a lot, and it is also approaching the line of promotion.
※※※
After arranging the team's training, Chang Sheng went to the hospital after the training.
He went to visit Baraja.
He didn't have a relationship with Baraja, he had been with the team for too short a time, and he hadn't had time to build a bond with most of the players.
But this is an opportunity.
For Chang Sheng, being able to accept one is one.
He did not hesitate to praise Ibrahimovic's performance in front of the media. Now he went to visit Baraha again.
It's all about getting the support of the players.
If you want to get the support of the other party, you naturally have 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 can be despised at times, he is also easy to make friends with the players and can get closer.
Because age does not create a generation gap between him and the players.
On the training ground and on the pitch, he can be very harsh, but that doesn't stop him from getting along with the players in private.
Because you can't really subdue these players by being strict alone.
Valencia and Getafe are not the same. Getafe's players are all ** silk, one by one who has never seen the world, and has failed for a long time. As long as they can bring them victory, they will naturally support themselves sincerely.
And what about Valencia? Most of the players are well-informed. They also had a championship experience - the Copa del Rey in the 9798 season. and the Spanish Super Cup in the 9899 season.
There are also a lot of players who have transferred from other teams and have a lot more experience than the players from Getafe.
A mere victory for such a player will not make them truly advocate for themselves.
They crave more, and it's not so easy to satisfy.
Maybe it's only the champion.
But what about before winning the championship?
You still have to get their support.
Chang Sheng held a large bouquet of flowers, entered the hospital like this, and then took the elevator. I came to the door of Baraha's hospital room.
Then he knocked on the door, and Baraha's voice rang from inside: "Please come in." ”
Later, when Chang Sheng pushed the door in, Baraha was taken aback.
To be honest, he really didn't expect the first person to come to visit him was the head coach of the team.
Seeing Baraha's surprised expression, Chang Sheng deliberately asked suspiciously, "Is it inconvenient, Lu Wen?" ”
Baraha hurriedly shook his head. After the surprise, it is moving, the player is still innocent after all, and you show kindness to him. Naturally, he will reciprocate your kindness.
They don't think of too many conspiracy theories, like it's a manager playing on his emotions or something.
Being seriously injured and having to miss a few months of competition already made him not in a good mood.
The first season of the new coach is a time when everyone is trying to show themselves and hope to win the favor of the new coach. While seeking a place in the main team, he was injured in the first game.
So what will the team look like when he recovers?
Will he still get a starting position?
You must know that Pep Guardiola is also a very strong player, even far superior to him.
Any normal person would probably be inclined to choose Pep Guardiola and let him play as a substitute.
In fact, the first game of the league against Real Madrid, Baraja thought it would be Albelda and Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola is outstanding, and Albelda is a young rookie cultivated by Valencia themselves, who transferred from Atletico Madrid, and I heard that the new manager hates Atletico Madrid, so will his Atletico background invite trouble?
I didn't expect him to be able to play.
This makes him very happy and intends to take this opportunity to show his ability and win the favor of the new head coach.
Unexpectedly, he suffered such a serious injury in the game.
The bright future is all in vain......
Baraha, who was at a low emotional point, was suddenly very moved when he saw that the person who came in to visit him turned out to be the head coach.
Because it shows that the manager has not forgotten himself!
The future may not be as pessimistic as he thinks!
