Avril is very busy after becoming a star. The next day she will rush to New York to participate in the recording of a TV show, and then she will return to Canada, where a commercial event is waiting for her.
Busy Avril no longer has time to go shopping carefree and carefree with Chang Sheng.
After Avril left, Chang Sheng also left Los Angeles.
He returned to Valencia.
Although the holidays are still going on, he is already making preparations for the new year.
※※※
The Christmas holiday is very short.
There is no winter break in the Premier League, but in fact the winter break in La Liga is also very short.
On January 2, the whole team gathered.
Prepare for the league match on January 5th and the Copa del Rey on January 8th.
These two games were not easy to play.
In the sixteenth round of the league, Valencia challenged Real Madrid away.
In the third round of the Copa del Rey, Valencia faced Deportivo La Coruna at home.
Before the game, Real Madrid was working hard to break Valencia's unbeaten streak in this game.
Now Real Madrid hates winning often.
The reasons are naturally multifaceted.
First of all, Valencia, led by a winning team, is Real Madrid's nemesis. So far, Real Madrid has not won a single victory.
Secondly, Chang Sheng’s big mouth made Real Madrid embarrassed. Most of the hatred between him and Real Madrid was caused by Chang Sheng’s mouth.
Third, Real Madrid is competing for the league championship this season, but now the point difference between them and Valencia is as much as seven points.
The fourth, most important, and new enemy is Mendieta.
When it comes to Mendieta, Real Madrid is now very angry.
Florentino didn't know how many times he scolded Valencia and Chang Sheng behind their backs.
When Florentino lured Mendieta from Valencia, he was still full of joy, thinking that he had strengthened his own strength and weakened Valencia.
Unexpectedly, Valencia was not weakened and their performance was better. On the other hand, they were troubled by Mendieta.
The first is the battle for Mendieta's position, which has troubled the team for a long time.
Then there is the locker room issue caused by this position battle.
The media are now speculating on this matter all day long. What was originally nothing has been hyped up as something serious. It has made the Real Madrid locker room restless. What about the conflict between Mendieta and Figo, what about the conflict between Mendieta and Helguera?
What a contradiction...
Some revelations look just like the truth, and some are true.
Real Madrid's unstable performance this season is related to these internal conflicts.
Lakers spent 30 million euros to buy Mendieta, which made Real Madrid financially tight and almost ran out of money to buy Ronaldo - if Moratti hadn't finally agreed to Real Madrid's installment payment, they really would have no money to buy Ronaldo.
.
After buying it, I realized that I had been cheated...
They thought they bought a superstar, but they didn't expect they bought a huge pit!
Florentino was talking about how Valencia agreed so readily and bargained for two young players without even asking for more money...
It turns out that Mendieta came here specifically to trick us!
When Florentino understood this truth, he stopped asking Bosque to let Mendieta start. Although this may make others guess that he was cheated by Valencia, it will happen sooner or later.
Thing. Mendieta's performance is so poor, even fools know that Real Madrid spent 30 million plus Arbeloa and Cambiaso to buy Mendieta, which is a parallel import.
If Mendieta continues to be in the starting lineup for the sake of face, I am afraid that the team's performance will collapse.
Real Madrid failed to win the league title last season, and they cannot lose the league title again this season no matter what.
For the sake of the league championship, the only choice is to let Mendieta sit on the bench.
All he can think about now is letting Mendieta go after the season is over.
It's just that he tried it several times, but the situation was not good.
Mendieta's agent, Tordella, refused to leave until he killed him. The agent who had bowed to him when he signed the contract is now involved with him.
Of course Toldela would not be willing to let Mendieta leave, because Mendieta now earns a lot of salary in Real Madrid.
This is a lot of money.
Tordela's only condition for agreeing to Mendieta's departure was that Real Madrid gave Mendieta the remaining three years of his salary in one go.
This gave Florentino a big headache.
I dug a Mendie Tower myself, and it became like this.
Let’s look at Cambiaso and Arbeloa, who were brought to Valencia by Chang Sheng. One is a player who has never been taken seriously in Real Madrid, and the other is a young man who is still in Real Madrid’s echelon.
But under Chang Sheng's hands, both of them were able to play in the first team of Valencia. Among them, Cambiaso even had regular playing opportunities and performed well. He had one goal and two assists.
Young players like Arbeloa can start in the Copa del Rey and provide an assist.
Mendieta made fifteen appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid, without scoring a single goal or assisting a single assist.
This is the difference...
When he thought that Chang Sheng was the culprit for this gap, Florentino felt even more unhappy.
Therefore, in this game, Real Madrid will end Valencia's undefeated streak no matter how much it costs!
※※※
Chang Sheng is well prepared for this game.
Before the game, various game training skills were used that could improve the team's ability in a short period of time.
Then for game skills, all he chose were defensive skills.
During the game, Valencia used its own ball-control tactics to firmly control the ball from the first minute of the game, leaving Real Madrid to follow the football and be led by Valencia.
Tactically, Del Bosque didn't really have any good ideas. So he could only place his hopes on the condition of the superstars, hoping that they would be in better condition in this game.
The superstars were in really good shape in this game.
In the 35th minute, Ronaldo opened the scoring for Real Madrid.
However, not long after the start of the second half, Ayala took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt and headed the ball to equalize the score for Valencia.
In the 68th minute, Zidane regained the lead for Real Madrid.
Three minutes later, Guti helped the team expand the lead to two goals, and Real Madrid led Valencia 3:1.
The Bernabeu Stadium erupted in deafening cheers.
Real Madrid fans seem to be taking out all the anger they received from Valencia last season!
The entire Bernabeu was shaking like an earthquake.
The TV broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up shot.
Chang Sheng's face didn't look very good.
At the 71st minute, trailing by two goals, it was still at home...
Is Valencia's unbeaten record about to end here?
In fact, the constant victory does not really care about how long the undefeated record can last. For all this, it is actually quite remarkable.
But he doesn't want to end his unbeaten run against Real Madrid.
Tactically, our team had no problem, and even had the advantage on the field. But in this game, Real Madrid's superstars broke out collectively. In the battle between individual heroism and collectivism, collectivism had won the previous five times. Is personal heroism going to win this time?
Suddenly an idea flashed in Chang Sheng's mind - no, we also have a personal hero!
Ibrahimovic's stunning performance in the Copa del Rey final emerged.
So taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Chang Sheng called Deco to his side and gave him face-to-face instructions.
The adjustment for constant victory is very simple, it is to gather the strength of the whole team, deliver artillery shells to Ibrahimovic, and give full play to his technical and physical abilities.
He wants to take the initiative to create a personal hero!
※※※
When the game restarted, Ibrahimovic indeed received support from the whole team, passing the ball to him, moving him, attracting the opponent's defensive attention, and creating gaps for him...
Ibrahimovic has been in Valencia for more than a season, and this is the first time he has enjoyed such treatment.
In the past, he had to keep running, pulling wide, and retreating to create opportunities for his teammates.
Unexpectedly, it's all the other way around now. He doesn't need to pull out, he just needs to be at the front and keep catching the ball.
Ibrahimovic likes this way of playing football. He can save a lot of effort and focus all his energy on how to score goals.
For the first time, he enjoyed the treatment of "offensive core"!
In this "new tactic", Ibrahimovic did not feel uncomfortable at all, he seemed to be as comfortable as a fish in water.
He felt that he could finally fully show himself to people.
He wants to show Real Madrid that this is the real Geratan Ibrahimovic!
※※※
In the 79th minute, when Ibrahimovic used his personal skills to break through Hierro and score a goal, the entire Bernabeu Stadium fell silent.
After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic beat his chest with his fist and told everyone that Real Madrid has superstars, and so does Valencia!
While he was celebrating, Villa ran into the goal, picked up the football, and ran back to the center circle.
There is still one more ball, ten minutes left, there is still time!
Chang Sheng on the sidelines waved his fist twice. He did not celebrate grandly, but shouted at the Valencia players on the court: "There is one more goal, there is one more goal! We must not lose!"
※※※
After the game restarted, Valencia's tactics did not change. The whole team still served Ibrahimovic, allowing him to give full play to his all-round characteristics.
In front of the newborn calf Ibrahimovic, Hierro, who is almost thirty-five years old, truly feels his aging.
No matter whether the other party uses technology or body, there is nothing I can do...
Real Madrid was originally in a good situation, but suddenly a danger appeared at the last moment.
In the 89th minute, when Deco got the ball in the midfield, he faced Helguera who came up to press him. He turned around and got rid of it, blocked Helguera behind him, and then passed the football to Next to Albelda.
He moved without the ball, appeared in a new position, and received a pass from Albelda.
At the same time, all Valencia's offensive players were running, interfering with Real Madrid's defense.
Despite this, Real Madrid still focused its defensive attention on Ibrahimovic.
This young Swedish player is the biggest threat in the Valencia team.
Just when everyone thought Deco was going to give the football to Ibrahimovic, just like he has done many times before.
Deco suddenly sent the football to the space in the ribs!
There, because the focus is on tracking Ibrahimovic, there is a blank area there. There are no Real Madrid players, but there are Valencia players!
"David Villa!!"
The commentator Moen shouted, and the sudden shout shocked many people in front of the TV.
He couldn't help but be so excited because David Villa got the ball without anyone marking him!
Ibrahimovic was waiting to receive the ball in the frontcourt, but he was a little surprised when the football did not reach his feet.
Villa was not surprised, he seemed well prepared for this sudden arrival of the ball.
After catching the ball, he decisively shot!
The football flew over Casillas' head and into the goal!
3:3!
Killer!
Valencia equalized the score! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature registered members to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
