Valencia's players were also surprised because they were leading Real Madrid so easily.
It's as if their opponent is not the defending champion.
But their opponent is indeed the real Real Madrid.
So if they can take the lead so easily, they may have to find the reason within themselves.
The new tactics brought by the new head coach and his special instructions to them before the game.
Pavon, that man is Real Madrid's Achilles heel.
After celebrating the goal, Valencia's players all turned their attention to Real Madrid's centre-back, young Francisco Pavin.
Being stared at by so many malicious eyes at the same time, Pavin suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Then they set their sights on the ever-winners on the sidelines.
This young Chinese coach really has two skills...
All the doubts I had before were eliminated a lot with this ball.
When the game restarted, Valencia's players strengthened their confidence in playing like this.
※ ※ ※
Bosque still didn't think of a better way to crack it.
As long as the ball was in Valencia's hands, he found it difficult to dispossess him.
Because the opponent is always passing the ball, the football will not stay at the feet of a certain player for too long.
In this kind of sport, football is the hardest to win.
You can only wait for Valencia to make their own mistakes.
But Valencia must have specially intensively trained in this aspect.
In addition, their passes are very simple short passes, and there is no need for any fancy tricks. Therefore, the accuracy of such passes is very high, and it is difficult for Real Madrid to steal the ball in a short while.
The difficult result was that Real Madrid's players were treated like monkeys by Valencia's players, using the pass to fool around.
Passing has always been the foundation, even the foundation, of football. This skill has been practiced by many players since they were children, and has been practiced until they retire.
Although many coaches attach great importance to passing the ball.
But being able to make passing the ball so important... To be honest, this was the first time Del Bosque had seen it.
Valencia's tactics are simply based on passing.
They kept passing the ball and running.
The football kept making a "bang bang" sound at the feet of the Valencia players and was passed to the feet of the next player.
It can be said that when Valencia attacks, all Real Madrid can do is defend exhaustedly, and then wait for the opponent's shot to end the attack. Either the football does not score, or the football scores.
Just these two options.
Then Real Madrid can start their offensive.
But Valencia's players seemed to be very patient. They kept controlling the ball but were not in a hurry to shoot - before they scored, they only had three shots in fourteen minutes.
The goal was scored on the fourth shot.
Even Real Madrid had more shots than Valencia, but the success rate was very low. Only one of the five shots hit the goal frame.
In comparison, Valencia's shots were much more threatening. Two of the three shots before this goal hit the goal frame.
Quite threatening.
It can be seen that Valencia's offense is not about quantity, but quality.
Del Bosque thought for a long time, but could not find a way to break Valencia's attack.
He decided to ignore it for the time being. Just try to hold on to his defense when the opponent has the ball and don't make the same mistake again.
Then when the offensive power falls to his feet, let Valencia take a good look at Real Madrid's short passing attack.
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng never dared to offend Real Madrid. He knew that if Real Madrid were to react, the game would be difficult to win.
So he asked the team to continue attacking and strive to score an early goal.
As for the method of scoring a goal, it is very simple, it is still aimed at Pavin.
So when the game restarted, Valencia, which had already taken the lead, did not stop there, but continued to attack Francisco Pavin.
Del Bosque previously believed that as the game progressed, Pavin would quickly adapt to the La Liga game and then perform at his normal level.
But he soon discovered that he was wrong.
Valencia violently attacked Pavin, but Pavin's performance did not improve at all, but became even more embarrassing.
Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.
If it was just a normal game, Pavin might take some time to adapt.
But this is the opening match, and it is a strong dialogue.
Such a game itself puts a lot of pressure on Pavin.
not to mention……
Del Bosque thought of what Valencia coach Chang Sheng said before the game.
At first, he just regarded it as an ordinary spat, but now he discovered Chang Sheng’s true intention!
He wanted to continue to put pressure on Pavin who was already very nervous!
And judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he succeeded.
Under such huge pressure, Valencia targeted Pavin to attack again. The pressure on Pavin can be imagined.
I have to say that this winning strategy is very scary.
But the scarier thing is yet to come...
I can't replace Parveen myself!
At least not now!
Because if he replaces Pavin at this time, it will tell everyone that Real Madrid's goal loss was caused by Pavin, and Pavin has become Real Madrid's weakest point.
This is tantamount to blaming all the reasons why Real Madrid loses on young Pavin.
Even if Real Madrid wins by chance, the pressure on Pavin will not be less, and the media will treat it separately. The Real Madrid player who scored the goal will receive praise, and Pavin, who lost the goal, will definitely face indiscriminate bombardment from the media.
For young players, this is fatal.
Being compared with Zidane originally made Pavin very nervous. But if something like this happens again, Del Bosque believes it will be the last straw for Pavin.
Del Bosque could almost imagine Pavin completely losing his confidence and gradually sinking under the bombardment of public opinion.
Moreover, the substitution means that the head coach has lost the trust of Pavin in the team and is disappointed with Pavin. Such external pressure and pressure from the head coach will crush Pavin.
So not only can he not be changed now, but it is best that he cannot be changed until the end of the game. In this case, even if the outside media criticizes Pavin, Del Bosque can also come forward to defend Pavin and let him know that the team has not given up on him.
In this way, Pavin still has a chance to regain his confidence and form.
Due to this consideration, Del Bosque can only watch helplessly as Pavin is attacked again and again by the opponent on the court.
He couldn't even show dissatisfaction with Pavin's condition, because it would make a big fuss about it for the media.
As the head coach of the wealthy Real Madrid, he lives under the gaze of the media all the time. He must pay attention to every word, every action, and every tiny movement.
Don't let the media catch some clues and make a big fuss about it. By then you will be full of words and you won't be able to explain clearly.
Del Bosque has served as the head coach of Real Madrid for three times. He knows these skills best.
So he could only watch Pavin being hit by Valencia's substitutions in turn, but he could do nothing.
Of course he could ask Hierro to help Pavin, but everyone saw the result of Hierro helping Pavin.
He could also swap positions with Hierro and Pavon, but what would that do?
The other party was looking for Parvin, not a certain position.
This is truly an unsolvable situation...
Del Bosque turned to look at Valencia's coaching bench.
The head coach of Valencia just walked to the sidelines and squatted down.
This is his habitual action. It is said that this habitual action has often attracted ridicule to him. They think that the Chinese is like a country bumpkin who has to squat on the ground when coaching, as if he is shitting.
But later on, fewer and fewer people laughed at his habit.
Because hidden behind this rustic action are the victories in each game.
Whenever someone laughs at his actions, they are usually not happy for long.
Del Bosque had not thought this action was funny before.
Now he not only thinks that, he also thinks this man is terrible.
He had planned it from the beginning. He had been planning this plan since he started provoking Florentino.
Provoke Florentino and ask Mr. President to put pressure on himself. Force himself to let Pavin play.
Because he knows very well that if Pavin does not play, then Real Madrid will have no weakness.
So Parveen must appear.
As long as Pavin is out of the field, Real Madrid will definitely lose...
The situation will be like this now.
Del Bosque couldn't make any adjustments at all.
Of course he can let the two defensive midfielders assist Pavin more.
The problem is that they went to assist Pavin, and the defensive strength in other places was empty. Defense can affect the whole body.
Problems anywhere will have serious consequences.
In short, Valencia did a very good job finding Pavon.
Bosque couldn't think of a solution at all.
I can only pray to God that every shot of the opponent will be saved or directly missed.
This Chinese...although he is young, he is amazing!
I heard that he was initially in the Real Madrid echelon, but was later fired because of a conflict with a director...
Before leaving, he also made harsh words, saying that he would make Real Madrid regret it.
Del Bosque doesn't know whether the Real Madrid club will regret it, but now, he does feel it is a pity - such a powerful figure did not become one of our own, but became the enemy of Real Madrid...
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng doesn't know the regret in Bosque's heart. He is now staring at the court, waiting for the second goal. In his plan, as long as the team can score the second goal, they can take advantage of it.
The upper hand. Next, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend. The initiative lies entirely with Valencia.
Real Madrid had just finished an attack on the field. Raul's shot in the penalty area missed, causing Mestalla to scream in surprise.
Many Valencia fans were frightened into a cold sweat.
Changsheng is no exception.
There is no doubt about Raul's ability. What he is best at is skillful shooting in front of the goal. The ball just missed didn't go in. It was Valencia's good luck.
This goal shows that Real Madrid has adjusted their tactics - they no longer care about whether they will continue to concede goals, they only care about whether they can score goals.
Obviously Real Madrid does not intend to fight Valencia defensively, they want to fight Valencia offensively.
For Valencia, this is not a good thing.
Real Madrid's offensive strength is quite powerful.
So now Chang Sheng is looking forward to scoring goals even more eagerly.
