Chapter 134 Accidents that Are No Longer Under Control

Chang Sheng was very low-key before the game, which doesn't mean he doesn't want to win the game.

For the Inter Milan game, he made full preparations.

In response to Inter Milan's tactics, he made some adjustments to the Mad Dog tactics. In terms of personnel, most of the players who rested in the last league game have also returned to the starting lineup.

Valencia fielded their strongest lineup to host Cooper's Inter Milan.

At this time, there are so many strong players in the Inter Milan team. Although they have not yet got rid of the bad comment of "star black hole", in terms of player strength, they are still higher than Valencia.

But Chang Sheng still has the confidence to beat Inter Milan at home.

Because it is not the stars that determine the outcome of a football game, but the whole.

※※※

Chang Sheng believes that his overall strength is better than that of Inter Milan's stars.

But the game just started, Inter Milan's superstars gave him a blow.

In the ninth minute, powerful center Vieri squeezed away Ayala who was defending him in the penalty area, and shot the football into Valencia's goal...

Ayala defended hard, but he was too far off physically and was easily blocked by Vieri to score the goal.

Seeing this scene, Chang Sheng's mouth twitched.

He has considered almost everything that can be considered, but he really can't control the individual performance of the opposing player...

Who would have thought that Vieri was in such a good state in this game?

Just scored a goal!

After the goal, Vieri waved his arms and roared, his chest and abs highlighted on the jersey. It makes people grin - this is a powerful center forward!

Can tactics control everything?

The tactics that have always won on Vieri have failed.

Helpless, his central defender is still too weak, and he loses his position when he is squeezed by Vieri.

This is completely a contest of players' personal strength, and he really can't help with this...

After Vieri's goal,

Valencia launched a counterattack.

And in the 30th minute, Vicente scored the equalizer.

Although the Valencia fans showed kindness and welcome home to Cooper before the game, when the game started, they quickly entered the role of Valencia fans.

Mestalla was quiet when Vieri scored.

And when Vicente scored a goal, huge cheers quickly filled the Mestalla Stadium.

This time it was Cooper who frowned.

When Cooper was still the head coach of Valencia last season, Vicente was the main force. He scored five goals in the league.

However, Vicente's goal just now was not a difficult goal. After a series of passes, the football was sent to the goal. Then Vicente appeared in a position where no one was marking and shot the football into the goal. .

Because of the previous series of passing Taoism, Inter Milan's defense was torn apart, so no one was going to defend Vicente.

This Valencia team is clearly nothing like the one he coached...

He looked next door, and he didn't expect that the new coach had only coached the team for less than a season, and he could completely overthrow Valencia's tactical system. Start all over again.

And I heard that he is not yet thirty years old...

What an amazing young man!

In the second half, Changsheng paid more attention to control and used control to defend. This tactic was used against Barcelona and Real Madrid. Chang Sheng has used it before, and now Valencia can be regarded as handy in using it.

In the constant passing in the off-duty half, Valencia finally found a hole, and Ibrahimovic sent the football into the conservative goal of Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo.

The final score was 2:1, and Valencia won at home.

But Chang Sheng didn't feel relaxed at all. At the end of the game, when Cooper shook hands with him, he didn't think it was a big deal to lose.

Because Cooper scored an away goal.

After Vieri scored, Valencia stepped up his defense.

And Inter Milan seems to have seen the power of Valencia's ball control tactics, and dare not attack rashly.

So Inter Milan only had one away goal.

But that's enough for Inter Milan. Because Valencia only scored two goals.

In this game, Inter Milan has not played Ronaldo, and did not even bring it.

It will be a pity if Chang Sheng is still a fan who travels through the minds of fans.

But now he has no regrets, and he has to be thankful that Ronaldo didn't come. One Vieri is enough for him, and another Ronaldo, is it still confusing?

In this way, Chang Sheng has to worry about whether Inter Milan's away goal will cause him trouble.

And Ibrahimovic received a yellow card in the game. He will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards and miss the next leg of the match between the two sides.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself didn't seem to realize the significance of the yellow card, maybe he forgot that he was about to be suspended, maybe he didn't think it was a big deal that he missed a game.

But Chang Sheng felt a headache.

What he knew about Cooper. and observations of the game. It can be found that Valencia's Inter Milan played a defensive counterattack.

Now that Valencia has an away goal in hand, they are expected to play more conservatively at home because they only need one goal.

They can shrink the defense in the next time.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a very important player who breaks dense defenses.

If he can't play in the next round, what will happen to the game and what will be the final result... It's really hard to say!

Whether it was Vieri's goal or Zlatan Ibrahimovic's yellow card, there was something about this game that was out of Changsheng's control.

This made him a little unhappy.

As a head coach, what I hate the most are things that are beyond my control.

But maybe this game is a normal football game.

Everything is under his control. That is impossible.

Football is round, there are always some surprises...

Vieri's goal was an accident, it just brought the football game back to the normal track.

For such a conceded goal, Chang Sheng couldn't even lose his temper with the players in the locker room after the game.

Because the players are doing well enough, but there are always some things that no one can control.

Chang Sheng felt the helplessness of football in this game.

※※※

A week later, Valencia challenged Inter Milan away.

After the first round, Ibrahimovic knew he was suspended for the next round.

He regretted it at the time, but what's the use of saying this now?

When other players can go to Milan, he can only stay at home and watch the live broadcast of the game.

At the Meazza Stadium, the victorious team was met with intensive defensive resistance from Inter Milan as he had imagined.

Cooper's Valencia once reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons with this uninnovative tactic of defensive counterattack. Switched to the stronger Inter Milan, his defensive counterattack is more handy.

In the last game, he learned about Valencia's offensive mode and made adjustments to his defense. Tighter than in the first round.

After Valencia lacked the battering hammer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it also lacked the tricks to break the dense defense.

Villa's running position is erratic, but when the penalty area is full of people, his running without the ball is obviously useless.

Inter Milan, as an Italian team, defense is almost their instinct.

Coupled with Cooper's training, it is even more solid.

In addition, there is a more deadly point. Cooper made Ronaldo the starter in this game.

Ronaldo is fast. Suitable for defensive counterattacks, and he is the kind of striker who can solve the battle alone.

this game. Cooper's Inter Milan need only have one goal.

So Cooper put all his energy on defense, and let Ronaldo attack alone on offense.

It really made him succeed in the sneak attack...

In the forty-seventh minute, Ronaldo used the defensive counterattack to dribble straight in and hit the goal.

Canizares couldn't make a save and could only watch the football fly into the goal.

And Chang Sheng on the sidelines also closed his eyes.

Another triumph of individual heroism...

※※※

Inter Milan, which equalized the total score, began to shrink their defense, leaving Ronaldo to continue to harass in front, so that Valencia did not dare to press as a whole.

Valencia, which has lost Ibrahimovic, lacks the means to score in, so it can only continue to use long-range shots to attack, hoping to get lucky. Get one in.

But as a result, Valencia failed to score until the end of the game.

Chang Sheng had no choice but to accept the fate of being eliminated by Inter Milan.

His Valencia couldn't go any further.

Because so many factors out of his control played a vital role in these two games...

※※※

Valencia, who returned to their lair dejectedly, was already very painful about this defeat, but they didn't expect that there were more painful things waiting for them.

The Spanish media did not express sympathy and regret for their failure, and the media in Madrid and other regions even criticized their failure as their own fault!

"Why was Valencia eliminated? It's very simple, because their minds are not on the UEFA Cup, but on the ridiculous unbeaten league!"

"Before the first round against Inter Milan, the whole of Valencia was discussing an unbeaten season. Since then, I have predicted their failure today!"

"I don't feel sorry for Valencia's failure at all, it's their own fault! Too much distraction before the game, not on Inter Milan. And expect to win? Do they really think the UEFA Cup is the Spanish King's Cup ?”

When the team returned to Valencia, they were greeted with overwhelming criticism from the media.

As if they had lost the UEFA Cup final, but in fact they were just eliminated in the quarter-finals.
