When the game started, Deportivo discovered that the tactics Valencia used in this game were not the mad dog tactics they had studied.
But...defensive counterattack!
Irueta stood up from his seat and stared at the court in surprise.
Not only him, but also the Valencia fans in the stands looked at each other.
When Valencia changed their tactics this season, they even criticized Chang Sheng, believing that Chang Sheng had changed the team's traditional style of play and would affect the team's performance.
After all, Cooper's defensive counterattack has proven his ability. Being able to reach the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons is not something that any team can do.
Such a successful tactic was changed at Chang Sheng's request.
Does he have something in his head?
Unexpectedly, after the league started, everyone discovered that the winning tactics were far more effective than they expected.
Ranked first in the league and remained undefeated.
In addition, Valencia’s games are much better than before.
This is all progress.
Just when Valencia fans had gradually accepted Valencia's new tactics, they didn't expect Chang Sheng to change tactics again!
He resumed his defensive counterattack!
What does this mean?
Commentator Moen was even more surprised: "I thought Chang Sheng no longer planned to repeat his old career in Valencia... But in this game, Valencia actually started a defensive counterattack again! Why is this?
"
Yes, he always has a purpose when playing defensive counterattack. Why is this?
If we say that we want to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Deportivo, that would be a bit too fanciful, right?
When Deportivo won the league championship and second place in the league, they often encountered teams that would shrink their defense and engage in defensive counterattacks when they saw them. What was the result?
Deportivo is also the league champion and second place.
They have excellent ability to break positions, especially the midfield master Belleron, known as the "Spanish Zidane", whose excellent passing ability has benefited Deportivo a lot.
Therefore, if Chang Sheng wants to use defensive counterattack to defeat Deportivo, it is really an unwise choice.
If it is not to defeat Deportivo, then it must be because Chang Sheng is afraid of Deportivo, because Super Deportivo's offensive power is still very strong. In order to avoid losing the ball at home, Chang Sheng chose defense.
Fight back.
But this is too courageous, right?
This is a home court, and we have played so conservatively at home, so what should we do if we go to an away game in the second round?
Should we just kneel down and surrender?
※※※
Everyone thought so, but they soon discovered they were wrong.
And it’s so wrong!
Because from the beginning of the game, Valencia's defensive counterattack worked.
Their defensive counterattack is not the same as Cooper's previous defensive counterattack.
In this game, Valencia performed very tough during the defensive counterattack and frequently made physical contact.
Especially in defense against Belleron...
As soon as Belleron took the ball, he suddenly felt a huge impact coming towards him.
He finally controlled the ball with his skillful foot skills, but he also lost the best opportunity to pass the ball. When he wanted to pass the ball, his receiving teammate was already offside.
And the man behind him kept bumping into him, using his hands and feet together, and his movements were extremely dirty.
Belleron frowned, he hated such defense, but could do nothing.
He can only use his body and skills to protect the football and wait for his teammates to come up and pick him up.
But the person behind him didn't want to let him go so easily.
Belleron suddenly felt the opponent's kick on his calf.
He wants to destroy his ball from behind!
Followed by the second kick!
The third kick!
When the opponent kicked him for the third time, Belleron finally couldn't hold on anymore and was kicked to the ground by the opponent!
The referee's whistle also sounded.
"Ah, Marchena committed a foul! Not long after the game started, he committed a foul. It seems that a trip to Portugal did not teach him to restrain his temper and playing style. He is still so
Rough!" Moen curled his lips.
But Marchena doesn't care how he is evaluated. He just wants to prove his ability in front of the head coach who values him, and prove that Marchena can handle Beleron by himself!
When Belleron was kicked to the ground, he saw who the person who had been confronting him behind his back was. It turned out to be Carlos Marchena!
Damn it!
Belleron had heard of Marchena's nickname.
Unexpectedly, a season and a half has passed, and this person's temper has not changed, nor has his playing style...
I encountered such a difficult character in the game... I'm afraid this game will be difficult to win.
Beleron frowned. He suddenly felt a headache.
Marchena noticed the change in Belleron's expression. He still remembered the coach's words before the game asking him to scare Belleron, so he made a fierce expression, stared at Belleron and growled: "
You better watch your legs!"
After throwing down this naked threat, Marchena turned and ran away.
The referee did not give him a yellow card, but only gave him a verbal warning.
Apart from Belleron, Marchena appeared to be very respectful in front of the referee. He humbly accepted all the verbal warnings given by the referee without any hesitation. He also promised that he was a little anxious just now and would not do it again next time.
Something like this happened.
Of course, next time he won't kick Belleron in the calf so directly.
He still has many tricks up his sleeve for those defensive moves that have been criticized countless times...
But when Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court, he couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that Marchena is as if he has been given a shot of chicken blood and is performing very well.
Belleron really deserves a headache this time.
He asked Marchena because he took a fancy to Marchena's violent temper and tough defensive style.
Used to deal with players like Belleron, Marchena is really a good hand...
Marchena did the same thing during the game. As long as he got on the ball, he would kick it without hesitation. Whether he was kicking a ball or kicking someone, his movements were very fast and fierce. Even if he was aiming for the football, it would be inevitable.
Kick someone.
He kept pushing with his hands and squeezing Beleron with his body.
The result of this was that Belleron was "very injured". After being kicked down several times in a row, Belleron also learned something - he reduced his time of possession of the ball and passed the ball as soon as he got the ball.
Although this reduces the chance of being violated, it also makes his passing lose its spirit and become more like a routine.
Under such circumstances, do you still expect him to organize an attack?
Belleron's health has never been very good and he is often injured.
Therefore, Belleron himself is very resistant and afraid of such crude fouls.
Under Valencia's defense, he naturally couldn't perform well.
※※※
Chang Sheng watched from the sidelines as Belleron fell to the ground again and again under the entanglement of Marchena, or he had no choice but to pass the ball, or else the ball was directly intercepted by Marchena... Such scenes were reflected in his eyes.
Performed in front of you.
He feels that he is destined to become an eternal villain in the hearts of fans who love art and masters.
Last season, he caused a lot of controversy when he asked Rondo to tackle Reyes' leg.
And now he uses such muscular tactics to deal with Belleron, just like using rough methods to move a box of porcelain art...
After this game, the media still didn't know what to say about him.
But he has no regrets.
He will never change his approach just because of outside comments.
In order to win, isn't it normal to take full advantage of the opponent's weaknesses?
Is it possible that in a football match, instead of thinking about your own team, you have to worry about the safety of the other team's players?
Maybe there really is such a Notre Dame coach in the football world, but he can't win on his own.
He is a victory supremacist.
It's normal for Belleron to suffer a little in order to win.
What he chose in this game was to increase the probability of his players winning by 5% in the physical confrontation.
Coupled with one's offensive skills, Valencia's two wingers are very strong.
For this skill, he didn't even play Mendieta, but Reyes, but Reyes played on the right.
When he first practiced this tactic, Reyes was very skeptical because he had always played as a left winger and he was a left-footed player.
Why did the head coach put him on the right?
He felt that he would not perform well if he went to a position he was not familiar with.
But Chang Sheng firmly told him that he could do it.
Chang Sheng was so determined because he knew that Reyes had played as a right winger in the future and performed well.
When he was in Real Madrid, he played on both the right and the left. When Real Madrid competed for the championship in the last round of the league, Reyes sealed the victory with a long shot. He suddenly cut in from the right wing and then shot with his left foot.
Scored.
Moreover, there are many examples in the future of left-footed players playing on the right and right-footed players playing on the left.
For example, Robben was a pure left winger at PSV at first. Later he went to Chelsea and was gradually placed on the right, thus developing his signature skill - cutting inside from the right and then dribbling laterally.
The left foot shè far away.
When he went to Real Madrid, he completely developed this skill, and Real Madrid also relied on Robben to play like this.
At that time, as long as Robben was healthy, he was basically invincible.
In the most difficult time, Real Madrid earned a lot of points with Robben's personal performance. Unfortunately, he was too easily injured...
He later went to Bayern Munich... He no longer knew how to cross from the left, he just liked to cut in and shoot from the right.
Chang Sheng came from that era, so he naturally knew that he could succeed by doing this.
He just allowed Reyes to make this change a little earlier.
It's easier to practice when he's still young and hasn't yet finalized his skills. But when he gets older, it's not going to be easy to practice.
He hopes to develop Reyes into an all-around wide player who can play on the left or right, who can cross or directly shoot.
Added changes in frontcourt offense, making it more difficult for opponents to defend against.
A week is not long, but there is always some progress.
Chang Sheng can be clearly felt in training - you can see some familiar improvement in Reyes with him.
If he keeps practicing like this, I'm afraid Mendieta will have to consider his position...
Counterattack tactics with two wings flying together, plus rough defense with direct body contact.
This is the weapon Chang Sheng used to destroy Super Lako.
Just like he personally accelerated the demise of Zidanega Pavin's policy, he will also personally end the great era of Super Depor in advance.
He doesn't hate Deportivo's football, nor is he a mortal enemy of Deportivo.
The reason why he did this is very simple, just because Deportivo is blocking his way. If Valencia wants to rise, it must overthrow teams like Deportivo and trample them under their feet.
This is an objective law in the football world. Although it is cruel, it is the reason why the sport of football can maintain its strong vitality.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the last. (To be continued.)
