Chapter 118 The protagonist and supporting roles (guarantee
When the players finished warming up, they returned to the locker room.
Chang Sheng was waiting for them in the locker room.
"Twenty minutes until the game starts, guys."
The players were lowering their heads to arrange their socks and shoelaces, and Chang Sheng was pacing back and forth in the locker room while doing the final mobilization before the war.
"I believe you have a full understanding of the outside world's opinions. We are number one in the league, but in this game, this status does not bring us any advantage. They still do not think highly of us. This is really funny
Things - we defeated Real Madrid twice in the league, and when we met for the third time, we were not favored. Why? Because this is the King's Cup that Real Madrid must win! It's ridiculous! Is this King's Cup champion?
, are we dispensable? Real Madrid needs to decorate their centenary celebrations with a Copa del Rey champion, don’t we need to use this champion to enrich our honor room?”
"Our desire for the championship and our pursuit of victory, our Valencia team is not weaker than any other team! There is no one else in the world who should win the championship! Real Madrid has worked hard to arrange such a stage. They have never
They thought they might lose, but they never paid attention to us, Valencia, from the beginning! They felt that this stage was prepared for them, and they were the protagonists! And what about us? We were the wretched opponents who were beaten by
The mighty protagonist of the British army was stabbed to death at his feet with a sword. Then they stepped on our corpses and ascended to the throne, receiving passionate kisses from beauties and adding flowers and applause from the audience... This is a script written by Real Madrid. But we
Why should we perform according to their script? Who stipulated that they must be the protagonist and we must be the supporting role? Who? No one stipulates, but some people feel good about themselves..."
Having said this, Chang Sheng walked to the door and opened the door of the locker room. The noise from outside poured in, and it was louder than before.
Although it is big, it is not very structured. From the perspective of Chang Sheng, it is far inferior to the fans in England.
However, because there were so many people, the momentum was quite amazing.
"Listen to this, guys. Just imagine, outside, in the stands at the Bernabeu, the seats are packed! Everyone is on drugs, they hate us and want us to die. And it's said
One hundred and seven media outlets participated in the coverage of today's match, and TV stations in 37 countries broadcast the match live - this may be the most watched King's Cup final in history.
?”
Chang Sheng looked at everyone.
The players have sorted out their "shirts" and looked up at Chang Sheng.
"The stage is big and there are many spectators. The master's birthday celebration is about to begin. Before the game, countless people looked down on us, belittled us, and despised us... They could express their opinions through the media, but we couldn't. But now,
We have the opportunity to make our own voice heard, and today, in this splendid temple of football, the visitors from Valencia have something to say!”
Having said this, Chang Sheng paused for a moment, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"I'm so sorry, ladies and gentlemen! It's him who brought trouble to us today!"

While the players from both sides were still waiting in the player tunnel to appear, the live broadcast was introducing the lineups of the players from both sides.
When the Real Madrid players were mentioned, it was obvious that the cheers were much louder.
Although this match at the Bernabeu was supposed to be a neutral venue and many Valencia fans came, but compared with the Real Madrid fans who had the advantage of playing at home, they still couldn't watch enough.
For this game, about 30,000 Valencia fans came, while Real Madrid fans accounted for the remaining 50,000 fans, all of whom supported Real Madrid.
The tunnels of the Bernabeu Stadium are different from those of other stadiums. In the tunnels of other stadiums, the home and away teams stand side by side without any barriers in between. They can communicate together, and of course they can also have some conflicts together.
There is a wall in the middle of the player tunnel at the Bernabéu Stadium to separate them. The home team is on one side and the visiting team is on the other side. They will not have a chance to touch each other when they come out of the locker room until they leave the factory.
So Valencia's players stood alone in their tunnel, listening to the deafening shouts outside.
The Real Madrid players got more than their share of cheers.
It was natural for them to respond to what the head coach said before the game.
This is indeed the owner's birthday party, and they are actually unwelcome guests, or even guests at all. Real Madrid must have hoped that they would not show up, but they came uninvited!
Now that you're here, you can't go back empty-handed.
No matter what, they overturned their tables and smashed their stalls. It was a mess. How could you have the nerve to say that you were here to destroy the place?
※※※
When the Valencia players walked from the tunnel to the stadium, they fully realized why the coach said this was a grand stage. Why he said it was a carnival party - but they were not the ones welcomed.
In the south stand of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's fanatical fans have transformed it into a sea of blue and white, with a huge Real Madrid crest in the center, and underneath there is always an image of a devil holding a fork, but wearing white. The crest
The words "1902" and "2002" are written on both sides respectively. This is the founding year of Real Madrid and the current time, which is exactly a hundred years.
The Santiago Bernabéu stadium is already huge, and the entire stands are covered with this pattern, which is quite shocking.
Real Madrid is indeed confident of defeating Valencia here, because in the last league game, Valencia was a guest at Real Madrid's home stadium, the Bernabeu, and had never seen such a scene.
It was really just an ordinary league game.
But things are different now. This is the ultimate showdown related to who can be the champion. Real Madrid fans have given them great enthusiasm and hope to put huge pressure on the team.
In order to win, even Real Madrid fans became serious.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for what the head coach said before, many Valencia fans might have really doubted whether they could beat Real Madrid in such an environment when they saw this scene.
But now they have no idea at all, there is only one thought in their mind——
We are the ones who came to cause trouble!
※※※
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid attacked first. When Raul Gonzalez kicked the football out, the Real Madrid fans in the stands made a huge noise, and the flashlights also lit up, making the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium seem like a sea.
Brilliant Milky Way.
At this moment, Chang Sheng stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, then squatted down and started watching the ball.
At this moment, Del Bosque changed his posture on the coaching bench.
At this moment, all eyes in Spain were focused on this game.
At this moment, the few Chinese reporters in the media gallery all looked at the man squatting on the sidelines. They really love and hate Chang Sheng. They love because Chang Sheng, as a Chinese, plays in the fiercely competitive European football.
Chang Sheng has proven his ability in the media and has also changed his direction and won glory for the country. The reason for his hatred is naturally because Chang Sheng has no good attitude toward the media. Even his own compatriots did not receive even the slightest preferential treatment from him.
But even so, they still follow this man everywhere, reporting on him, paying attention to him, and returning all news about him to readers in China.
How...sad!
※※※
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took advantage of the kick-off to launch their first attack, and their attack ended quickly.
This attack did not pose any threat to Valencia's goal.
But judging from the expressions on the faces of Real Madrid's players and coaches, they obviously don't care.
For them, this game lasts for ninety minutes. They have the right time, place and people. Isn’t that enough for them to score goals and win the game?
When Canizares placed the football on the line of the small penalty area, he thought of what coach Chang Sheng said.
"Possession of the ball, guys, what we want is control. We don't need speed or width. We want to firmly control the football at our feet. We are more confident than our opponents. So start from the goalkeeper and launch the attack.
When playing football, don't use big kicks, use short passes, and pass the football up..."
Canizares placed the football and found center back Ayala waiting for him at the top of the penalty area outside the penalty area.
It seems that Ayala also remembered the coach's words.
So he passed the football.
※※※
Ayala received the ball, but was followed closely by a Real Madrid player.
Raul Gonzalez came forward, and when Canizales passed the football to Ayala, he rushed out of his position and went straight to Ayala.
Meanwhile, Morientes was also cruising near Carvalho.
Not only them, but other Real Madrid players also had targets. They pressed forward collectively, intending to prevent Valencia from passing the football up.
When Chang Sheng saw this scene, he turned his head and looked next door.
This must be Bosque's strategy.
He firmly believes that his team will not pass the ball forward, and all offenses are passed up layer by layer in this way.
Therefore, by using this pressing method in the frontcourt, Valencia can make mistakes due to excessive pressure when passing the ball.
As long as there is one mistake, given the ability of Real Madrid players, this mistake may become fatal.
I have to say that Bosque has really put in a lot of effort and his arrangements are very targeted.
But...this kind of defensive strategy is actually very simple. Anyone can do it and everyone can figure it out. Why can Valencia still rank first in the league?
Because Valencia's delivery is not just a simple delivery!
What is the mad dog tactic?
If he just keeps passing the ball, is that called a mad dog? That’s called a stupid dog!
Chang Sheng doesn't mind letting Bosque experience the real mad dog tactics!
