Seeing Mendieta hit the football into the goal, Chang Sheng jumped up and pumped his fist in celebration.
Success!
The no-edge tactic was successful!
Even if it’s just once, it’s still a success!
Ibrahimovic's retreat left Real Madrid's defenders at a loss as to how to defend. Only then did Mendieta get the chance to score.
Obviously, the team at this time does not know how to deal with the forwardless tactics.
It seems that I should focus on studying the no-front tactics.
The coaches all rushed over and hugged Chang Sheng in celebration.
Especially Rudy Gonzalez, who was surprised and shouted at Chang Sheng: "This crazy idea has succeeded? This is unscientific!"
When Chang Sheng told Rudy Gonzalez this tactic, although Rudy Gonzalez was helping him improve the tactics, he actually didn't understand it. He often made fun of Chang Sheng's tactic.
The tactics are whimsical.
Nowadays, everyone's defense is becoming more and more strict. If you don't have a strong forward in your team, it will be difficult for you to break through the dense defense.
As Valencia's strength and reputation increase, they will often encounter teams that defend intensively in games in the future.
At this time, it's time for the powerful center to play its role.
But Chang Sheng didn't even want a center forward, so he wanted to use a "frontless tactic". Did he think he didn't die quickly enough?
Who would have thought that today, in the Copa del Rey final, Valencia would actually rely on such a whimsical tactic to re-establish their advantage!
Chang Sheng smiled: "I told you. Rudy, this is the development direction of football tactics in the future!"
After celebrating the goal with the coaches, Chang Sheng suddenly remembered something.
So while everyone around him continued to celebrate the goal, Chang Sheng had already turned around and looked towards the podium.
There, he saw the club president, Jaime Otti, who was standing up, applauding and cheering.
But that's not the point. What he pays attention to is Florentino who is next to Jaime Oti.
Strictly speaking, when he left Real Madrid, he couldn't blame the chairman. But the subsequent grievances between the two people were enough for him to ridicule each other at this time.
So he raised his right hand, raised an index finger, and shook it in full view of everyone.
Everyone knows what this action means.
This is naked provocation and humiliation!
※※※
Five minutes ago, Florentino had a relaxed smile on his face. He saw that the team's performance was getting better and better, and Valencia was crumbling under Real Madrid's stormy offensive.
He thought to himself, maybe in another five minutes, Valencia's goal would be breached.
When the two sides draw, the initiative rests entirely with Real Madrid.
But who would have thought that five minutes later, the smile on his face would completely disappear?
Five minutes later, a goal was indeed scored.
But it wasn’t Real Madrid who scored the goal, it was Valencia!
He couldn't understand the too complicated tactics. But he could see that when Chang Sheng replaced Baraja and retreated Ibrahimovic, Valencia had the upper hand.
In other words, this goal was not due to Valencia's bad luck, but an inevitable result!
This was more difficult for him to accept than the score.
The majestic giant Real Madrid. In their own home court, it is a matter of course that they are scored by Valencia... Let’s talk about it. Where should Real Madrid’s face be put?!
Next door, the president of Valencia was celebrating ostentatiously, and Florentino automatically ignored him.
But there was one person whom he could not ignore no matter what.
He would even take the initiative to see it.
That's why Valencia's head coach always wins!
Although he himself doesn’t know why he pays attention to Chang Sheng...
He soon regretted it because he saw the action Chang Sheng made on the sidelines!
There was no need for the narrator to explain at all, he knew what it meant!
You Real Madrid...can't!
At Real Madrid's half-year celebration, they suffered such a shame and humiliation!
Even if Florentino was well-mannered, he could hardly bear it.
He clenched his hands into fists, stared at Chang Sheng's back, and gritted his teeth!
This grudge was made between him and Chang Sheng!
※※※
"Ah, after Mendieta scored, Chang made a gesture to challenge Real Madrid..." The commentator was not surprised when he saw this scene, but was excited. "At the centenary celebration that Real Madrid was preparing for, Val
Lencia has suddenly become the protagonist! As Chang said before the game, they are indeed here to cause trouble! Chang also once said that sooner or later, Real Madrid will regret driving him away... Now, I
I think Real Madrid has begun to regret it..."
"An opportunity that only comes once in a hundred years was spoiled by Chang! No one could stand it, right? But Chang seemed to think it was not enough and made such a gesture to humiliate Real Madrid... The Chinese coach
, Sure enough, he is unruly... But I think that by doing this, he is completely pushing himself against Real Madrid..."
"I'm afraid he has been on the opposite side of Real Madrid for a long time, right?"
Now everyone has to admit that Chang Sheng said before the game that they were here to mess up the situation. It was really not a bluff or even a bluff. They did what they said, they really were here to mess up the situation!
Real Madrid's carefully prepared centenary celebration was disrupted by the Valencia bandits led by Chang Sheng.
There was a mess of cups and plates, and the guests panicked and ran out of the door screaming.
The host, on the other hand, could do nothing but glare at the other party. He could only watch as Valencia, an uninvited guest, turned his banquet upside down!
※※※
Del Bosque walked to the sidelines and stared at the stadium with dumbfounded eyes.
He really didn't expect Chang Sheng to be able to score so easily without arranging a striker in front of the goal...
How did he do it?
It seems like it's just running. But if it's just running, then who wouldn't? Why is it that only his Valencia can do this, but he has never heard of this thing before...
He didn't even know whether he should call Chang Sheng's style of play "tactics." He didn't know if it was just a matter of luck or if Chang Sheng did it on purpose.
If you just had bad luck, that would still be acceptable. After all, who doesn’t have bad luck?
But if Chang Sheng did it intentionally, the situation would be complicated and the meaning would be different.
But he quickly came to his senses. This was not the time to think about whether the winning strategy was a good tactic. What he should consider now was how to save the defeat...
Although Zidane is a left midfielder, he often moves to the center during the game, so he is actually an attacking midfielder. But the problem is that Zidane is now restricted by Albelda and Baraja.
So Del Bosque turned his attention to Figo.
Morientes' header skills are quite good, it seems that Figo can only pass...
It's indeed a bit simpler and rougher to fight like this, but it's better than having no choice at all, right?
※※※
Valencia's celebration lasted a bit long, so much so that the referee had to come out to persuade them to return to the court, and the game was not over yet.
When they ran back to their own half, Chang Sheng shouted their names from the sidelines.
"Keep calm! Stay calm! The game is not over yet, be patient and defend by controlling the ball!"
He pointed his hands to his temples to remind his players.
With a two-goal lead, he planned to defend for a long time, but his defense was different from what others thought.
His defense was the same tactic Valencia used against Barcelona.
Use tiki-taka to defend!
When the game restarted, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Valencia's goal.
Their offense is very sharp. As long as the football is at their feet, superstars like Zidane and Figo can play a vital role.
But their attacks cannot be continuous and will never stop.
As soon as the ball changes hands, the situation changes.
It was quite normal at first. The football was passed through the midfield and came to the area 30 meters away from Real Madrid. Real Madrid shrunk their defense, concentrated on their formation, and waited for Valencia to attack.
But after passing the ball, Valencia just wouldn't pass the ball inside.
Even if it looked like they could actually try it, they didn't do it. They just passed the ball back and forth. If a Real Madrid player jumped to defend, they would pass it back and then pass it up again.
This scene is different from the situation in the first half when Valencia led by one goal.
In the first half, Valencia went from the backcourt to the feet, attracting Real Madrid players to press forward, thus directly counterattacking.
This time, they overpowered the midfielder and passed the ball back and forth just outside the opponent's thirty-meter zone.
They were trying to score goals in the first half, but why were they doing this in the second half?
When five minutes passed unknowingly as the time passed back and forth, many people suddenly realized - wasn't this the method Valencia used in the game against Barcelona?
Use tiki-taka to defend!
"This is the first time I have seen a team defend in the opponent's half...and it was successful!" The commentator had to admit defeat.
※※※
Real Madrid lacks preparation for winning tactics. Although Valencia once tried this method against Barcelona, who would have thought that winning would be against Real Madrid?
No head coach would put their thoughts on a tactic that has only appeared once.
So Chang Sheng successfully took advantage of the loophole.
When Valencia really did this, Real Madrid collectively lost their composure - it was so damn shameless!
It's really shameless. Valencia passed the ball back and forth, but they didn't pass forward or make the final pass.
Sometimes they can even pass four or five kicks back and forth between the two of them without even moving...
Then the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium started to boo, and the boos became more and more loud, and finally became deafening.
This time the boos are finally no longer directed at Real Madrid.
But the Valencia players who were booed were not moved at all and they continued to play as they should.
Anyway, when they played defensive counterattack in the past, they were ridiculed by the Spanish media as "the Spanish team that is most like the Italian team". Countless fans booed them, but they were unmoved. They have seen this kind of scene many times, so it is not surprising that they are used to it.
Already.
How can the noble Real Madrid players be willing to suffer such humiliation?
They finally couldn't hold it any longer and pounced to steal Valencia's goal.
And when they did this, Valencia, who had been passing crosses and back passes before, immediately sent the football forward!
Playing behind Real Madrid.
And Ibrahimovic caught the ball against offside and almost scored...
"Ibrahimovic! Oh... what a pity! The Swede's shot slipped past! If this goal had been scored, Real Madrid would have been completely finished!"
Ibrahimovic also put his head in his hands, looking very upset.
But every Real Madrid player and fan broke into a cold sweat and their heart beat wildly.
When the football flew past the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, many people even felt that they had come back from the gate of hell...
"If you don't attack, you will be two goals behind. If you attack, you will face this situation... I think Real Madrid is really in a big crisis now!"
