After Chang Sheng and Guardiola explained the tactics to the players, Valencia's tactical training officially began.
But before that, Chang Sheng had a private conversation with Deke.
He hopes that Deco should play as a defensive midfielder in Valencia instead of the attacking midfielder he is familiar with.
Deco was surprised by the coach's request.
When he came to Valencia, he thought he would still play the position he was familiar with at Porto. However, Aimar left and Valencia was missing an attacking midfielder.
Who would have thought that the head coach would let him play as a defensive midfielder...
He felt very embarrassed: "I don't know much about the midfielder, sir..."
"You don't need to understand, Anderson. You just need to move the work you do in the attacking midfielder position to the defensive midfielder position. Our coaching team will think about how to do it for you and then help you complete it. I
I just hope you are mentally prepared. I didn’t bring you to Valencia to let you play the main role..."
Hearing this, Deco's heart tightened—shouldn't he be the main player? Or should he be the substitute?
Come on as a substitute, who is willing?
As he got closer, he heard Chang Sheng say: "I'm asking you to hit the core!"
Deco was stunned: "Core?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, core."
He took out a CD from the drawer and handed it to Deco: "This is a collection of Guardiola's performance on the court in the Valencia game last season. I hope you go back and take a good look at what Guardiola did.
That's what I want you to do."
"I hope you will become Valencia's engine and the guarantee that Valencia can run at high speed. Of course, if you can't do it, I will find someone else."
Chang Sheng finally said this.
When Deco left Changsheng's office, he was still a little confused - he was going to become the core of Valencia?
He lowered his head and looked at the CD in his hand, as if there were some secrets to success hidden in it.
※※※
Media and fans who follow Valencia can learn about the progress of Valencia's preparations for the new season from the warm-up matches.
What caught their attention was the new formation adopted by Valencia in the warm-up match.
433.
Chang Sheng did not hide it, nor did he deliberately mislead reporters and media.
He believed that his Tiki-taka was a tactic that was ahead of its time. Even if the opponent saw it, it wouldn't be able to decipher it, so he didn't need to be too mysterious about it.
The formation has changed, so people naturally don’t know Valencia’s main lineup for the new season.
In the warm-up match, the winning rotation was very ordinary. The starting lineup was different in each game, and all eleven starting players were replaced at each halftime.
He hopes that every player can be integrated into this system as soon as possible, so that no matter who is missing, the system can operate normally.
But sharp-eyed reporters still found some clues.
For example, Deco was placed in the defensive midfielder position instead of the attacking midfielder he is familiar with.
Let Deco play as a defensive midfielder?
What does this mean?
The reporters couldn't understand.
Like Deco, they thought they bought Deco just to replace Aimar. Unexpectedly, this was not a matchup substitution, but a complete restart.
In fact, Valencia's main lineup has not changed much compared to last season. After all, this lineup has proven their ability and tacit understanding last season. There is no need to completely break it up and start over. Therefore, Chang Sheng did not buy it this season.
Who are they, mainly to supplement the depth of the bench, Cambiaso, Mista and Arbeloa are all positioned as rotation players, only Deco should be the main player.
The advantage of this is to ensure the integrity of the lineup. This season, Valencia's players have to adapt to the new formation. If they adapt to too many new teammates, it will only add chaos to the preparations.
Judging from the first warm-up match, the players still seemed not very adaptable to the new formation, and there was some lag between passing and running.
After all, they never hit 433 last season.
However, starting from the second warm-up match, the players' progress can be seen.
The media began to be surprised at how quickly Valencia became familiar with the new formation.
Then they remembered that it seemed that this kind of thing often happened in teams that always won. It was something that was impossible for everyone to do, but in the end they all did it.
For example, in the Copa del Rey final against Mallorca, no one could have imagined that Getafe could learn Tiki-taka in just one week, having never been exposed to Tiki-taka tactics before.
It's a rough idea, but it's surprising enough. Getafe relied on this tactic that no one could have imagined to defeat Mallorca and win the first Copa del Rey in their club's history.
Then he only used one pre-season training time to let Valencia, who had always played defensive counterattacks, learn what he called a mad dog tactic.
Now looking at Valencia's performance in the new formation, it really makes people wonder if the Oriental man has cast some magic.
But this is obviously impossible, so the media began to dig deeper into the reasons behind this.
They soon discovered a common denominator.
That is, whether in Getafe or Valencia, there is always a person beside Chang Sheng who seems to be particularly low-key - Rudy Gonzalez.
Then I continued to dig deeper and found that Rudy Gonzalez was once the coach of Getafe and was the acting head coach for one game, but the Getafe he coached was beaten 0 by Atletico Madrid B.
:5, so he only had one more head coaching job. Then Chang Sheng took over, and he became Chang Sheng’s assistant coach.
Later, Chang Sheng once had a manager who was suspended for two games. The person who directed the game on behalf of him was Rudy Gonzalez, but he still messed up. The local media in Getafe at the time also analyzed why Rudy.
It was concluded that Gonzalez was not suitable to be a head coach because his mental quality was so poor that he could not withstand the pressure of being a head coach.
I continued digging and found that Rudy Gonzalez had a conflict with Chang Sheng. When Chang Sheng first joined Getafe's first team, the relationship between the two was not particularly good.
But why did the relationship between the two become so good that they could wear a pair of pants?
The media studied and studied and came to a conclusion - Rudy Gonzalez's training ability is good, and not just average, but very good.
In fact, for a winning team, Rudy Gonzalez is indeed in charge of daily training.
So the media easily came to the conclusion that the reason behind such a miraculous winning streak is the credit of Rudy Gonzalez.
In fact, there is nothing magical about winning often. The key is that Rudy Gonzalez is so good. He can design a training plan in a short period of time that can allow the players to quickly increase their strength.
He is personally responsible for training, whether it is in Getafe or Valencia, the team has achieved such results.
"...We have always focused on winning, but in fact the man behind the team is this low-key assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez!"
"The media always promotes Chang as the biggest contributor to Valencia's league title, but in fact there is someone else..."
For a time, Rudy Gonzalez was hyped as the real hero behind the "myth of constant victory". He suddenly became the most important task for the rise of Getafe and Valencia, and was the secret to the success of constant victory.
Then when these reporters came swarming to interview Rudy Gonzalez, Rudy Gonzalez, who still didn’t know what happened, looked confused: “What are you talking about?”
When he heard the reporters' explanation clearly, he couldn't help but laugh: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look at your brain?"
A group of reporters looked at each other and didn't understand why Rudy Gonzalez said this.
They reported Rudy Gonzalez's deeds in the hope of publicizing Rudy's achievements and preventing such an outstanding talent from being buried.
For Rudy Gonzalez, this is a good thing. Why doesn’t Rudy Gonzalez look happy at all?
And he speaks so harshly, just like that Chang Sheng... "Do you want to go to the hospital to see your brain?" Is this a well-intentioned statement? Is this the attitude towards reporters who come with good intentions?
Surprised to see the reporters, Rudy Gonzalez sighed, then shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that you would still find out... Yes, I admit that the man behind the scenes who made Chang's team successful was
I!"
The reporters' eyes instantly flashed with burning light again.
He admitted it!
As long as Rudy Gonzalez admits it, they can unmask the hypocrisy of a man who has always been successful and gained both fame and fortune.
So they pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Rudy Gonzalez's next words.
Several pairs of eyes stared at Rudy Gonzalez, not missing any change in his expression.
I saw Rudy Gonzalez looking around, then mysteriously approached the reporters, lowered his voice and said: "Since you have all discovered it, let me tell you the truth... Actually, I
He is a magician..."
"Huh?" A reporter couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard such an unexpected answer.
Rudy Gonzalez quickly put his hand to his mouth as if to shut up: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Do you want me to be burned to death?!" He looked very angry.
But he continued talking.
"I am a magician...I use magic to help Chang achieve his goals. He only needs to tell me his training goals, such as training to become Tiki-taka within a week, and I will just use magic! That's it!
Done! In fact, it only takes one second. A week is just a cover-up I deliberately set up to avoid shocking the world..."
"Actually, it doesn't just need to be training, the results of those games are also controlled by my magic... So why can Valencia double beat Real Madrid at home and away, and also win the King's Cup that Real Madrid wants at the Bernabeu Stadium?
?Just because I worked hard on the coaching bench! With a finger of magic, we won! Otherwise, do you think Chang, a rookie with no experience or prestige, could lead the team just ten games after he took over?
Getafe avoids relegation? How could it be possible to lead Getafe to promotion in the first full season and win the league championship and the Copa del Rey? And double defeat Atletico Madrid at home and away? Stop talking, there are so many incredible things, is it possible?
Haven’t you ever had any doubts? Don’t you think this is abnormal? Haven’t you ever thought about why this is something that cannot be explained at all?”
After a series of rhetorical questions, Rudy Gonzalez held his head high and said, "It's simple, because of me, the white-robed wizard Rudy Gonzalez!"
"Don't tell anyone what I told you today... I think it's not easy for you to get to the edge of the truth... That's why I told you, "Don't let me down...
…Of course, if you really want to announce it, I wouldn’t mind letting you see the power of a white-robed wizard!”
After saying that, Rudy Gonzalez turned around and left with a cold face, looking like a master.
The remaining reporters looked at each other for a long time, and then someone asked tentatively: "I said... is he playing tricks on us?"
"**! Of course he is playing tricks on us! Did you know that?"
"Who would believe such nonsense!"
"What a bullshit white-robed wizard, he's a ****, he's watched too much "Lord of the Rings", right?!"
The reporters seemed to come to life together, and they yelled curses at the background of Rudy Gonzalez walking away.
As if he was really a wizard in white robes, Rudy Gonzalez, who was walking away, seemed to hear what these reporters said. He suddenly turned around and pointed at the group of reporters.
The reporter who was cursing suddenly shut up, as if he was really afraid of the magic of the white-robed wizard Rudy Gonzalez... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Gone with the Wind
