Chapter 148: Ibrahimovic is irreplaceable? (guarantee
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room during halftime seemed a bit depressing.
The first half was too difficult for Valencia. They didn't expect Real Betis to be so tenacious before the game.
It stands to reason that Real Betis should have nothing to gain. They have no relegation task, and they don't need to compete for European qualifications or Champions League qualifications.
There is no need to compete with Valencia in this game...
This made the Valencia players puzzled, and some couldn't accept it. They felt that Real Betis was too boring.
An undefeated season has not happened in Spanish football for 70 years. Can't we be allowed to achieve it once?
They were indeed tired and under a lot of pressure, but they felt that they fell behind by two goals in the first half mainly because their opponents did not give them face.
Chang Sheng doesn't have a golden finger to directly see what each player is thinking at the moment, but he can infer the general psychological activities of the players through their expressions and their performance on the court.
Obviously, these players felt that they should win, but they did not win the game through their own efforts, because they were too tired, and saw that the task goal was about to be achieved, and they were a little unmotivated.
They feel that the last opponent should let them win, after all, the opponent has nothing to ask for. Selling face is very common in Spanish football, so the idea of the Valencia players is not incredible. There are many in Spanish football.
Tacit understanding of the game has nothing to do with money, but everything to do with favorability. If your team has a high favorability among other teams, then your opponents will be willing to let you go at critical moments.
If you are the public enemy, then every team will try their best to beat you.
So in fact, European football is not as clean as everyone imagines, but they play more advanced, their methods are smarter, and they rationalize some disgraceful behaviors. So the Chinese media introduced it with great interest, just treating it as their own.
Unique football culture.
In fact, all crows in the world are just black.
It's normal for Valencia players to have such thoughts, but it doesn't mean they can accept it if they win often.
Because it turns out that the Valencia players are pretentious and they were wrong!
Chang Sheng clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the locker room to him.
"Okay, guys, put aside your boring fantasies and longings. Do you think your opponents are all Lei Feng? What is Lei Feng? Lei Feng is a good person who specializes in helping himself and never cares about his own gains and losses. There are such people in this world
There are many, but unfortunately you are facing Real Betis now, they are not! So put aside these boring fantasies. I think this first half should let you understand a truth - never place your hope and destiny on others,
Especially your opponents. They will only want to eat you, but will never help you."
Chang Sheng looked at a room full of dejected players.
"If you still want to win, forty-five minutes is enough. We are better than them, but it doesn't mean we should win. If you don't try your best, you will lose. So in the second half, you have to fight me
Be energetic and focused. This is our last game of the season. We have been living this season like a dream. We won the league championship four rounds ahead of schedule and are unbeaten in the league so far. We are at the Bernabeu
We crashed Real Madrid's centenary celebrations and won the Copa del Rey... Should such a wonderful season end with a shameful defeat?"
"Now! Correct your attitude!" Chang Sheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.
Under his shout, many players also raised their heads, as if they had been given a shot.
"Face your opponents. They are your enemies. They want to eat your flesh and your blood. How stupid do you have to be to put your hopes on them? Correct this mistake in the second half. This season is so undefeated.
To set a record, I can only rely on myself, and no one else can!"
※※※
Raiola is waiting to see the good show of winning often.
He thought to himself that you will always replace Ibrahimovic, because Ibrahimovic has proven with practical actions that he is good at breaking through dense defenses.
Real Betis, who are leading by two goals, will definitely use intensive defense in the second half.
He felt that this game was really a good opportunity for Chang Sheng to fully realize that his team would be completely unable to play without Ibrahimovic.
In this way, when I go to find Chang Sheng again, I believe that damn Chinese kid and won't dare to show off to me anymore.
At that time, whatever request you make, the other party will have to agree. If he really dares not to agree...hehe, you can also say the other way around: "Sell Ibrahimovic if you can!" See
How wonderful was the Chinese coach’s face at that time!
But when the second half started, he found that Ibrahimovic was still sitting on the bench. He didn't even warm up, which meant that he would not have a chance to play in a short period of time.
Raiola's brows gradually frowned.
What does this mean?
That Chinese coach would rather lose this game than give Ibrahimovic a chance to play?
But there is no point in doing so.
Because as long as they lose the game, the media after the game will blame the loss on Chang Sheng for not starting Ibrahimovic. In the final analysis, Valencia still cannot do without Ibrahimovic...
This is the reason why after Ibrahimovic had a conflict with Chang Sheng, Raiola had to side with Chang Sheng. At that time, Ibrahimovic had just arrived and had not yet fully demonstrated himself.
If you don't have the ability to challenge the club, you are asking for death.
And now, after a season of dormancy, Ibrahimovic has proven himself with practical actions. Twenty-two goals in one season, in addition to eleven assists, isn't it enough to prove that he is in Valencia?
What is the importance of West Asia? With players who perform like this, no matter which team they go to, they are indispensable and absolute main force, even the core.
Those clubs and teams can only please them in every possible way, but they can never push people out.
Raiola has seen this kind of thing many times, so he decided that Valencia must meet his requirements.
It is impossible for them not to value a player like Ibrahimovic.
※※※
Although no personnel adjustments were made, Valencia's performance improved significantly in the second half.
Even the commentator was surprised: "Valencia's performance in the second half was different from that in the first half. They were more proactive, aggressive and aggressive in the second half. It must be that the head coach often treats his players during the halftime break.
What did they say..."
The TV broadcast gave a close-up of Chang Sheng, who happened to be squatting on the sidelines directing the game.
In the second half, Valencia did not continue to use defensive counterattack tactics.
After all, they have already conceded two goals, and there is no point in counterattacking.
On the contrary, it is possible to score goals by using the mad dog tactics again and besieging the opponent.
Just ten minutes into the second half, Valencia got a goal back.
It was still a series of dazzling passes and movements that tore apart Real Betis's defense, leaving a gap in their airtight defense. Then Aimar cleverly stuffed the football through.
Villa appeared exactly behind the space and received the ball.
"Not offside! Chance for Valencia! Villa - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
As Moeen shouted, Villa volleyed the football hard into the upper corner of the goal!
"Villa! This is his fourteenth goal this season! As the team's second shooter, Villa's performance is also very outstanding! He is no less than Ibrahimovic!
Although his skills are not as fancy as the Swedes, the only criterion for measuring a shooter is whether he can shoot the football into the goal! At this point, Villa's ability is better than Ibrahimovic! In appearance
With less time than Ibrahimovic, his scoring rate is very high!"
Amid Moeen's praise, Villa did not celebrate the goal, but got into the Real Betis goal, picked up the football, turned around and ran towards the center circle.
There are still thirty-five minutes left, and at least one goal must be scored. But Villa wants to score at least two goals.
Such a wonderful season cannot end with a defeat, nor can it end with a draw, it must win!
※※※
Raiola listened to Moeen's voice on the TV in the box, and looked at Villa off the field, who was holding a football and running back while waving his fists to cheer up his teammates around him.
There were waves of cheers for him in the stands.
"David Villa! David Villa!!"
This name is engraved in Raiola's mind.
Valencia really can't do without Ibrahimovic?
Who can replace Ibrahimovic?
The answer seems to lie with this young man...
※※※
After Villa's goal, Valencia's morale was greatly boosted, and the fans in the stands were more energetic than in the first half.
The cheers and singing continued to cheer for the team.
Amid their cheers, Valencia performed better and better.
Finally, in the 70th minute, Baraja received the ball from Villa outside the penalty area and hit a powerful long-range shot to open the door of Real Betis!
"2:2! Valencia equalized the score! If this score can be maintained until the end, they will become the first team in seventy years to have an undefeated season!"
"Baraja - Balaja - Balaja!!! Balaja!!! Wonderful long-range shot! World wave!! Villa's assist! Valencia's Jedi counterattack in the second half is comparable everywhere
Leah’s figure, one goal and one assist! Beautiful!”
After scoring the goal, Baraja turned and ran towards the coaching bench.
He would like to use this goal to thank Chang Sheng for the encouragement and support he gave him when he was injured.
He ran to the coach's bench and tackled Chang Sheng.
Other players swarmed up and surrounded them.
"Undefeated! Undefeated! Undefeated in the league!!"
They raised their arms and shouted.
The Valencia fans in the stands also responded loudly to them.
"Yes! Undefeated! Undefeated! We are undefeated in the league!!!"
The entire Mestalla stadium roared like a tsunami, as if a strong wind was passing through.
※※※
PS, the season is undefeated! Just like what the book says, this is a great achievement that only happens once in 70 years in the history of La Liga.
So please give me some monthly passes~~
