Valencia didn't win any championships last season, so naturally they don't have to prepare for competitions like the European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup, and they don't have to participate in the Champions League draw.
So Chang Sheng has a very complete pre-season training, which is a good thing for his first season with Valencia.
His training plan can be implemented completely without the risk of being disrupted midway.
In August, the team flew to the United States for a week and a half of training and played two warm-up games with two American teams.
Both warm-up matches ended in victory for Valencia.
But the media and fans still don't understand what kind of football Valencia plays.
Because Chang Sheng has disrupted the lineup, no one has been able to analyze what Valencia will look like under Chang Sheng and what the lineup will be through the warm-up matches.
Chang Sheng did this, on the one hand, to deliberately hide his true intentions, and on the other hand, he naturally hopes that more players can be integrated into this tactical system, so he wants the substitute players to play more games to confuse the main players and
The difference between substitutes.
In fact, with Valencia's current staffing, it is difficult to tell the difference between the main players and the substitutes.
After all, Valencia is not a small team like Getafe. It would be great to be able to assemble a set of eleven players.
Valencia has always been a two-front team before. They still have the necessary personnel reserves and the awareness of rotation.
Otherwise, why would Killy Gonzalez and Vicente, both left wingers, play a lot of games last season?
Now that Valencia has been supplemented by regular wins, the strength of its main and substitute lineups has been greatly improved.
They have three goalkeepers, among whom Chang Sheng, the main and first substitute goalkeeper, is familiar with them.
The main goalkeeper Canizares is the main goalkeeper of Spain. The substitute goalkeeper Palop is familiar with his winning streak. Because later when Sevilla won the UEFA Cup for two consecutive years, Palop was the
The main goalkeeper of that Sevilla team. He also had a sad record of scoring goals in the league.
Palop is now twenty-seven years old. He is in the golden age of a professional player, but unfortunately there is Canizares above his head, so he has to continue to play as a substitute.
Speaking of Palop, it is quite tragic. As a native of Valencia, he once hoped to represent Valencia in La Liga very early. But when he started playing in the youth team of Valencia in 1994 in the B team,
When he was emerging in the training camp, Zubizarreta transferred to Valencia. For four years, Palop had no chance to gain a foothold in the first team.
Zubizarreta retired in 1998. He thought his opportunity had arrived, but at this time Valencia bought Canizares. Until he transferred to Sevilla in 2005, he only played in six years.
Played forty-three league games for Valencia.
There is no way. Canizares is too awesome. He is only 31 years old now, which is the most mature time for a goalkeeper. How can Palop possibly win the Spanish national goal?
Chang Sheng knew that he would be very good in the future, but now Palop still seemed to lack ability, experience and confidence.
Three shortcomings are fatal enough. To win at the goalkeeper position, the reason is to trust an experienced veteran, rather than a substitute goalkeeper, although the substitute goalkeeper is actually not small. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility of playing in some non-insignificant situations.
In the game, the winning team may send Palop to play.
The other goalkeeper, David Rangel, is even younger. He is only 22 years old this year and was transferred from the B team. If nothing happens, he may not have a chance to play throughout the season.
In terms of central defenders, Valencia, which has always won, has Ayala, Carvalho, Pellegrino, and David Navarro (david_navarro), who was promoted from the B team. Ayala and
Both Carvalho and Pellegrino have the ability to play the main role, but the winning tendency is to let Carvalho and Ayala play as center backs, with the 29-year-old Pellegrino as a substitute, ready at any time.
Appearance kind of thing.
Navarro was discovered by Chang Sheng while browsing the B-team roster.
At first Chang Sheng thought he had found a treasure. He thought it was Sevilla's main center back and captain Navarro.
But he soon discovered something was wrong. Because this was David Navarro, and the Sevilla captain in his impression was Xavi Navarro. The names were different.
Regarding this David Navarro, perhaps the deepest impression about him is when Inter Milan met Valencia in the knockout round of the 2007 Champions League.
After the game at that time, players from Inter Milan and Valencia clashed. It was just an ordinary conflict, and everyone has seen many such conflicts. Inter Milan's Burdisso and Valencia's Marchena had a fight.
During the dispute, players from both sides rushed forward, but they were there to break up the fight.
At this time, Navarro, who had been on the bench and had not had a chance to play in the entire game, seemed to have finally found a way to vent his energy - he rushed directly onto the court and punched Burdisso
, this punch not only hit the bridge of the Argentinian's nose, but also aroused the anger of everyone in Inter Milan.
But Navarro then showed in front of everyone the speed and flexibility that were incompatible with his central defender position. He fought his way out of the layers of interceptions and sieges by Inter Milan players. Although he suffered a flying tackle from Maicon, he was unharmed.
Returned to the bench...
This incident left a deep impression on Chang Sheng, especially Navarro's speed and flexibility as he ran all the way.
So Chang Sheng decided to transfer the 21-year-old to the first team and learn slowly on the bench. With the competition from Ayala, Carvalho and Pellegrino, it was not easy to be the main player.
It's possible, but it's okay to be a qualified substitute.
At the right back position, Valencia has many candidates, including veteran jocelyn_angloma, Curo Torres who returned to the team after his loan period in Tenerife, and Changsheng, who was introduced from Setubal.
Ferreira did.
Angeloma has rich experience and has been the team's main right back before. However, after Ferreira comes, he may have to gradually adapt to his life of sitting on the bench.
Curro Torres is also a qualified substitute. He played 39 league games in Tenerife last season, so there is no problem in terms of experience.
As for the left back, Changsheng did not add any players because he felt that he had enough. There were veterans Carboni and Fabio Aurelio, as well as Javi Prats (javi_prats).
Carboni is too old, Chang Sheng will not let him continue to play the main force. Aurelio will be promoted to the main position by Chang Sheng.
He only played seven league games last season and was Carboni's substitute. In the new season, their positions will have to change.
Aurelio later played for Liverpool, but due to injuries, he did not have many playing opportunities. He performed very well in Valencia. He is a typical Brazilian full-back, with excellent assists and average defense.
The configuration of the two full-backs is quite consistent with the one used by the winning team in Getafe. One full-back focuses on offense, and the other focuses on defense.
There are also three people in the defensive midfield position, Baraja, Albelda and Guardiola.
This means that there is really no distinction between the main force and the substitute. Anyone can play the main force, but when Baraja and Albelda are combined, they tend to be defensive and the defense is very tough.
If either of these two people is paired with Guardiola, the team may be more imaginative offensively.
This is a variable, and Chang Sheng likes it because it makes his team's tactics more unpredictable.
At the central midfielder position, there are Romanian internationals Dennis Serban (dennis_serban) and Aimar. In the 4231 winning season, someone is needed at the attacking midfielder position, and now it seems that it is none other than Aimar. Dennis Serban
Ban's ability is not good, so Chang Sheng plans to use him as a substitute.
The team currently only has Mendieta on the right wing. Changsheng plans to let Serban serve as the substitute here at the same time. In addition, Angulo can also play here. This solves the substitute problem here.
In addition, Angulo can also play as a forward, so there is also a substitute for the forward.
Killy Gonzalez is gone from the left wing, but with Vicente, he is the absolute main force. Reyes can only start from his substitute.
Valencia now has Ibrahimovic, Villa and Carew on the front line, and Angulu can also be regarded as a forward.
Four forwards are enough.
You must know that Chang Sheng plays as a lone forward.
Four strikers are already too many...
Angulo just asked him to serve as Mendieta's substitute.
Carew... The team always needs to prepare an extra set of tactics, not just one set of tactics. The second set of tactics Changsheng prepared for Valencia was a typical defensive counterattack, which he was most familiar with and what Valencia was familiar with.
West Asia is most familiar with it.
In defensive counterattacks, Carew may be used sometimes.
Anyway, Carew has a good temper, and even if he is asked to serve as a substitute, he will not complain.
That’s all the winning cards right now.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to rely on this lineup to finish the entire season.
For Chang Sheng, this lineup is already very strong, a hundred times better than when he coached in Getafe.
After more than a month of closed-door training, he is now eager to start the new season.
He wants to use real actual combat to test his tactics. Those warm-up games played in the pre-season are not worth winning.
Winning 1000:0 in the warm-up match means nothing to him.
However, before starting the official league, Chang Sheng has another matter to deal with.
If he doesn't handle it well, he will feel that he is carrying a time bomb on the road to winning the championship. If the bomb explodes, he will be finished.
This matter is...he needs to have a good talk with the team's captain, Mendieta.
