Chapter 301 The Joy of Fighting Against a Master (95/136)

Chang Sheng temporarily won a respite for his team by putting pressure on the referee.

Why is it a temporary respite?

Because if he can't completely solve the problem of this kind of offense being always interrupted, he will soon be in trouble again.

Because he can't always find the referee every time a situation arises.

The referee can help once or twice, and he will ignore it if there are too many times.

So, you have to rely on yourself.

The problem is that the referee's penalty scale cannot be determined by Chang Sheng.

Now he can only try his best to make the referee consider that Valencia is attacking when making penalties, and let him follow the principle of favorable offense when whistled.

In this way, your own team will no longer be able to back and forth in the backcourt, and then wait for an opportunity to attack.

Most of the places where Porto fouled were in Valencia's backcourt, and fouls in this place are indeed not easy to get a card.

Mourinho really worked hard.

Not only fully studied the rules of the game, but also studied Valencia's playing habits.

Because Valencia really likes to pass the ball in the midfield most of the time. On the one hand, it can increase the possession rate, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the football is in a safe place and under their control. Then use this kind of transmission to attract the opponent, and after the opponent is withdrawn, suddenly launch an attack, change the rhythm, from slow mutual passing to continuous through and running, just like a pool of stagnant water suddenly turned into a thousand miles like a waterfall.

This is Valencia's customary performance in the game.

The whole team is used to this model.

They didn't think there was anything wrong, including Chang Sheng.

until today. Only then did Chang Sheng realize how much of a "back door" he had left for his opponent...

In the league before, I also encountered a similar situation. But none of those teams are as good as Mourinho's Porto...

So that the problem was exposed.

In this case,

Valencia must give up their familiar game rhythm and style of play.

Reduce back and forth in the backcourt, pass the football to the frontcourt as quickly as possible, even if you want to invert, you must invert at the front of the opponent's penalty area. In this case, the other party will be cautious and dare not make any big moves.

Because giving Valencia a free kick in that position is dangerous. Everyone knows Ronaldinho's free kick skills.

Maybe Chang Sheng would wish Porta fouled frequently in that position...

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Chang Sheng called Curro Torres who was closest to him to his side, taught him the opportunity, and asked him to tell his plans to other teammates after he came on the field.

The adjustment Chang Sheng made was to be less in the backcourt. When there is an opportunity, pass the ball forward resolutely, quickly and accurately. This requires players in several positions to be more flexible, and at the same time have good ball control and ability to get rid of.

Such as the lower back.

The rear is the hub connecting the front field and the back field. The central defender sends the football to the midfielder, and the midfielder sends the football up.

It's easy to say, but not so easy to actually do it.

Because Mourinho's team will carry out targeted defense based on this characteristic of the midfielder. Just like what Porto did in the previous twenty minutes of the game.

In fact, because there are not too many organizational midfielders, most teams have not formulated tactics specifically for Valencia. Whether it is Cambiasso or Deco, their work is relatively easy. The pressure will only be felt when the opponent is in the 30-meter area.

in this game. Porto's players focus on defending Valencia's two midfielders.

As long as Cambiasso and Deco run back to meet their central defender teammates, they will follow them, like maggots attached to the bones, and they will never leave the two. Two people take the ball. The opponent will quickly stick up and use a violent collision to prevent them from turning around.

Don't say it. Although this approach has no technical content, it is really useful.

Because Cambiasso and Deco simply do not adapt to such a defense.

Now Chang Sheng hopes that they have to adapt, use their own skills to get rid of the opponent's close press, or use a small range of quick passes to make the opponent empty.

Therefore, he asked the team to further compress the overall formation when they are in possession of the ball. Shorten the distance between players and make the already close distance even closer.

In this way, when Deco and Cambiasso get the football, if the opponent interferes behind them and prevents them from turning around, then they can at least pass the football to their teammates immediately, and then cooperate with each other through various short passes Come through the midfield and successfully send the football to the front field.

※※※

When Chang Sheng made adjustments, you can see that the distance between Valencia players has indeed shortened. This way their passing is smoother and smoother.

Seeing this scene, Mourinho sneered.

Do you think you can get rid of me like this? dream!

Mourinho sat in his place, doing nothing but knowing that his players already knew what to do.

Sure enough, when Deco took the ball with his back, and then quickly distributed the football to Curro Torres next to him, then he turned around and ran forward, this time he didn't run. Because he got his jersey pulled by Costinha who was defending him.

Although Costinia quickly let go of his hand, Deco's speed could no longer be raised, and he was a step slower.

Curro Torres sent the football out as soon as he got the ball. He thought Deco wanted to play a two-on-one with him. And he can't pass the ball right away, Porto's players have already pushed forward aggressively.

In order not to let the football fall under his feet, he can only send the football out immediately.

In fact, Deco really wanted to play two against him. But he was pulled by his jersey, and he didn't pick up his speed in time, and he didn't hit it after two passes.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The game was interrupted again.

But because Costinha just pulled the jersey, and immediately released it after pulling it. So the foul didn't seem serious, and the referee Nelson didn't intend to play a card.

Chang Sheng did not continue to trouble the referee this time.

He knew very well that this foul was not enough to give a yellow card.

He turned to look at Mourinho. Mourinho seemed to know someone was watching him.

Turning around, I saw Chang Sheng.

So he also smiled at Chang Sheng.

Just like Chang Sheng smiled at him before.

Everyone knows what the other person's smile means.

If you can exert pressure like the referee, I can still deal with you! If you are capable, you can hide behind the head coach for the rest of your life! But I'm afraid even the head coach doesn't want to protect you...

After seeing Mourinho's smile, Chang Sheng didn't grit his teeth angrily like Mourinho did before, instead he suddenly grinned.

The laughing Mourinho is inexplicable-is there something wrong with this person's mind? His team is in trouble, and he can still laugh? Or was he just bluffing?

Mourinho naturally couldn't understand Chang Sheng's thoughts.

Since traveling to this world, Chang Sheng has also met many famous marshals, including the very famous one now. And later became famous. For him, being able to play against these famous coaches is his greatest pleasure.

Defeating these famous coaches will give Chang Sheng a special sense of accomplishment.

Now meeting Mourinho in the Champions League final is naturally an excellent opportunity.

And Mourinho did not let him down, the tactical arrangement in the final was highly targeted.

Obviously, he has devoted himself to studying Valencia's tactics.

Being able to meet such an opponent made Chang Sheng feel that this Champions League final was worth it.

Beat Mourinho. Winning the Champions League is much more fulfilling than defeating any coach and then winning the Champions League trophy.

I have made a change, but Mourinho still has countermeasures, so it is my turn to make a move, what answer will I have to hand over?

Chang Sheng was very excited.

He has the feeling of fighting against a master.

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't even watch from the sidelines. Countermeasures were taken immediately.

Mourinho thought that if he contained Deco, his offense would not be able to advance?

How naive!

Why do you think I would rather let Baraja as a substitute than let Cambiasso start?

Do you think I only have Deco as a midfield engine?

Come, come, let you see how powerful my South American twin engines are!

Chang Sheng shouted Cambiasso's name on the sidelines.

When Cambiasso heard and looked down the field.

Chang Sheng gestured to him.

This gesture is one of his secret signals that Changsheng announced to the players before the game.

Every gesture represents a meaning. most of the time. He doesn't need to yell, he just needs to make gestures for certain people to see. Everyone will know what it means.

When Cambiasso saw Chang Sheng's gesture, he was very excited, and he nodded vigorously.

He knew his chance had come.

Before the game, when Chang Sheng announced that Cambiasso would start the game instead of Baraja, the Argentine was surprised but also very excited.

He played as a rotation player in Valencia this season. Although he played a lot of games, he is definitely not the main force. He didn't complain at all. In fact, he thought it was pretty good to be able to reward more than 20 league games in one season in Valencia. It was better than playing in Argentina for four seasons without playing a single game in Real Madrid. too much. Why did he move to Real Madrid in the first place if he wanted to play in Argentina?

In Valencia, you can get a stable chance to play, you can also win the championship, and the salary is also good. Cambiasso can't think of any dissatisfaction.

But he really never expected that he could play in such an important game as the Champions League final.

When Valencia reached the Champions League final, he was very happy, this is the kind of happiness that is happy for a team.

As for himself, he really didn't think so much.

It's just that he didn't expect the pie to fall from the sky and hit him on the head.

And what he didn't expect was that not only could he start the game, but he could also be the core of the game!

When Deco is restricted by the opponent and unable to exert his own strength, he needs to stand up, replace Deco, serve as the team's midfield engine, and drive the team to operate normally.

What an honor this is!

※※※

After making corresponding adjustments, Chang Sheng turned his head to look at the next door.

As he expected, Mourinho was watching him.

In fact, Mourinho had been staring at him as he shouted Cambiasso's name and gestured.

Seeing him turn his head now, Mourinho was not surprised, and he didn't look away guiltily, but looked at Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng smiled at him.

It's your turn, magic bird.
