Chapter 78 We want to win the championship (guarantee
Amid the cheers of Deportivo fans at Riazor Stadium, Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze and turned to Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench.
The Swede sat on the bench, looking at the court with no expression on his face.
No one knows what he is thinking.
Chang Sheng didn't bother to guess what he was thinking. He walked directly to him and said to him: "Go and warm up, young man. It's time to prove you."
Ibrahimovic took one look at Chang Sheng, and without any nonsense, he stood up, took off his jacket, and ran to the warm-up area.
Chang Sheng turned around again and continued to look at the court.
Five minutes later, Ibrahimovic reappeared in front of him.
Chang Sheng still didn't talk nonsense. He just said to him: "We are one goal behind, but I don't want to lose, so I let you play. Do you understand?"
Ibrahimovic glanced at the court and nodded: "I understand, if you don't want to lose, you have to rely on me."
"Ha, then prove it to me."
Soon Ibrahimovic came on the scene and replaced Villa, who was in average shape in this game.
When Ibrahimovic came on the field, commentator Moeen specifically mentioned why this player changed from the previous main player to the current substitute.
Finally, he said: "At a critical moment for the team, the Swedish boy returned to the battlefield, but he and Chang seemed to have had some conflicts before. I don't know if he can do his best for Chang at this time - to be honest, I am disappointed
I doubt it. After all, even if Valencia loses to Deportivo this time, it won’t be a big deal..."
※※※
As soon as he finished speaking, Ibrahimovic got the football on the court. Facing the opponent's pressing, he used his skills and body to protect the football, and then sent the football into the open space.
Then Mendieta completed a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area, forcing Deportivo's goalkeeper Molina to make a wonderful save and give Valencia a corner kick.
"Huh?" Moeen said in surprise, "Ibrahimovic didn't stick to the ball, but quickly passed the ball out... This is really strange - if he had also played in the game against Barcelona
If you play like this, how can you be replaced by Chang?"
Chang Sheng saw Ibrahimovic's action off the court and couldn't help laughing.
Although this was an action, the first touch of the ball after taking the field, it was an insignificant detail. But Chang Sheng saw what he wanted to see from this detail.
Ibrahimovic really doesn't want to be a personal hero this time.
In fact, with the current situation, if he succeeds as a lone hero, he will definitely become famous.
But he didn't choose to do this.
This shows that he really cares about the team.
Chang Sheng felt relieved.
Ibrahimovic will become famous as a ball tyrant in the future and will be very difficult to deal with.
But now he is still too young after all...
If he is tougher, he will naturally have no choice but to surrender.
※※※
After Ibrahimovic came on the field, Valencia's offense changed again.
In terms of technique, Villa is indeed not as good as Ibrahimovic. The Swede's skills are almost innate, and he inherently knows what to do in this situation.
When the team's offense is at a stalemate, Ibrahimovic plays a greater role than Villa.
Because Ibrahimovic can use his skills to take the football out, or use his skills to protect the football and wait for his teammates to move to a better position before passing the ball.
This is why Chang Sheng would rather endure Ibrahimovic's bad temper than buy Ibrahimovic.
He is a person who can change the situation of the battle with his skills.
In La Liga, it is especially suitable.
His technical ability is among the best even in La Liga, which is famous for its delicate footwork. Not to mention his outstanding imagination.
Under the winning tactics, players are actually allowed to play freely within a certain range, so it is just suitable for Ibrahimovic. But the premise is that the team's offensive fluency cannot be damaged. In the game against Barcelona, Ibrahimovic clearly disrupted the team's flow.
But now when Valencia's offense encounters obstacles and needs offensive fluidity, his footwork can bring such changes to the team. He can make a pool of stagnant water flow again.
When Ibrahimovic came on the field, Valencia's offense became obviously more threatening.
Coupled with the activity of Aimar and Guardiola, Valencia's offense has obviously become smoother.
Ibrahimovic was on the court before, but Valencia's offense couldn't flow smoothly, so Chang Sheng replaced him.
Now that he has been replaced, Valencia's offense is flowing smoothly again.
It's really sad.
※※※
Ten minutes after Ibrahimovic returned to the field, Valencia launched another attack in the 83rd minute.
Before, it was a short pass of about fifteen meters. Unexpectedly, this time Guardiola suddenly sent a through ball that was thirty meters long!
The football flew past Aimar. Aimar tried his best to stretch his legs but could not reach the football.
Just when everyone thought Guardiola's pass was wrong, the football suddenly appeared at Ibrahimovic's feet.
Because this pass was beyond the expectations of the opponent Deportivo La Coruna. So when Ibrahimovic received the ball, none of Deportivo's players thought about it.
Then Ibrahimovic did not pass the ball, but turned around and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
Deportivo's defenders suddenly realized at this time that they had made a mistake.
So a swarm of swarms rushed towards Ibrahimovic.
But what surprised them was that Ibrahimovic did not shoot the ball himself, but passed the football directly!
The football fell to the feet of the fast horse Vicente who came in from the wing 1
And since Deportivo's attention was all on Ibrahimovic, no one was marking Vicente at all.
The winning mad dog tactic is basically like this. After a series of reverse kicks, the football comes to a position that no one expected, and there are no defensive players in that position. All the teammates who run into the position need to do It's easy... they just have to shoot!
Of course, there are exceptions.
The exception is that now Vicente did not shoot, but sent a very tricky cross!
The football flew close to the ground and passed between Deportivo goalkeeper Molina and the defender!
Goalkeeper Molina was completely on the front foot to defend Vicente's direct shot. So when she discovered that Vicente was crossing the ball, his reaction was a beat slower, and then he fell to the ground to block the cross. But he failed. Didn't touch the football.
Because Vicente’s cross is really fast!
It's not an exaggeration to say it was a shot, it just missed the target.
Molina did not touch the football, and Deportivo's defenders did not dare to stretch their feet. This kind of cross ball, as long as they stretched their feet, it was basically an own goal.
So they could only watch the football pass in front of them.
Then I saw Mendieta, who was wearing a Valencia jersey, appearing on the path of the football. When he stretched his leg... the football was bumped into the goal!
※※※
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!! Mendieta! Mendieta! Gazca Mendieta! Valencia's captain! He saved the team at the last moment! In the 84th minute, Valencia equalized the score!!"
Moen, the commentator, yelled.
This roar floated in the sky above the Lissoya Stadium, making all the Deportivo fans who were still in high spirits were stunned - football... actually entered the goal so easily?
It’s just a few passes...
Some of them cannot accept this result.
Mendieta, who scored the goal, turned towards Ibrahimovic in the middle, hugged her, and then pointed at Vicente who passed the ball to him.
“Come celebrate!!”
The three people hugged each other.

When Rudy Gonzalez saw this scene off the court, he walked up to Chang Sheng and said, "It seems you have tamed that wild horse."
Chang Sheng turned around and shrugged at him: "It's just a game, it's still very early!"
He's not trying to be cool, that's the truth.
He would not think that he came on as a substitute in this game. Ibrahimovic performed well and was convinced of himself.
It is said that he knows people but not their hearts. But he is very aware of Ibrahimovic's virtue.
It may be okay to be young now, but when he gets older, more experienced, and more accomplished, his ambition can no longer be concealed.
Until then…
By then, he would have been sold by himself, right?
"But in any case, I think we should celebrate well after being able to escape from the Riazor Stadium." Rudy Gonzalez opened his arms to win.
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes: "All emotions are gone!"
"Why do you care so much!" He kept winning, "So far, we are still undefeated!"
※※※
Rudy Gonzalez is right, Valencia is still surprisingly undefeated so far.
The final result of this game was Valencia's away draw with Deportivo La Coruna 2:2.
Although it was thrilling in the end, although we did not win, we only got one point...
Although there are various reasons and regrets.
But one thing is very clear and certain, that is, Valencia was not defeated by Deportivo La Coruna in this game as everyone expected before the game.
After sixteen rounds of the league, Valencia has won twelve and drawn four. They are now the only team in La Liga that has not lost a game.
If you include other games.
They only lost to the Celtics in an away game, but they won the penalty shootout, so it's really hard to say who won and who lost in this game.
Before the start of the season, when Valencia definitely hired Chang Sheng as head coach, not many people were optimistic about Chang Sheng's prospects in Valencia because he lacked experience, prestige, and fame - he lacked everything.
thing.
For a new coach who has only coached for a season in a rural team like Getafe, it is doubtful whether he can control a big ship like Valencia. Especially Valencia's dressing room is known as "the most complicated in Spain"
"The locker room", does Chang Sheng have the ability to persuade famous stars and make them willing to listen to him?
There are too many question marks hanging over Chang Sheng's head.
Some media even said that Chang Sheng might not be able to last for three months before he would be fired by Valencia's new president Oti.
But now, Valencia tops the list with 12 wins, four draws and zero losses, with a score of 40 points.
Their aggressive momentum has made many people start to consider this question - Valencia will not really win the championship this season, right?
They guessed correctly.
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng bared his fangs in front of numerous media.
"Fourteen rounds undefeated? The situation is great? Of course, I don't think this is anything to be surprised about, because in my opinion, this is too normal for a team whose goal is to win the league!"
