Chapter 208 Five red cards and five balls (guaranteed
While Chang Sheng was contending with the Spanish Football Association and the referee, Valencia had already played a Champions League match.
Valencia's opponent in the quarter-finals is Serie A giants AC Milan.
He had just broken his undefeated record before, but now he has met the original record holder.
Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" claimed that this would be AC Milan's revenge against Valencia.
But before Chang Sheng could say anything, AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti quickly denied this.
"There is no revenge. Records are meant to be broken. The record nine years ago has nothing to do with us now."
Ancelotti made this statement because he did not want his team to be kidnapped by media public opinion and put heavy pressure on him.
The away game against Valencia was not easy, and Ancelotti had to be careful.
The media has a need for hype, but we don't.
So he immediately denied any revenge talk.
Although he was in the AC Milan team when the record was set nine years ago.
However, a qualified coach should know when to use this kind of thing to arouse the players' emotions, and when not to do so.
He knew what happened in Valencia recently. He was blacklisted by a referee, which made them angry. If he mentioned this record again, he would probably cause a fierce backlash from Valencia. He is not that stupid.
Woolen cloth.
Valencia has been distracted by this matter during this period, so let them be distracted.
All you have to do is reap the benefits.
Ancelotti, who went with this mentality, was slapped in the face by the cruel reality.
It seems in the media that Valencia's head coach Chang Sheng was in a heated argument with the Spanish Football Federation, the Referee Committee, and the Arbitration Committee.
But in fact, the team was not affected at all because the firepower was concentrated on the head coach Chang Sheng.
Moreover, under such circumstances, Chang Sheng did not fall behind in the team's training and preparations.
AC Milan lost 0:1 in the away game.
Although Valencia suffered heavy losses in the last league game and many key players received red cards, those were only suspensions in the domestic league. The Spanish Football Association has no control over the Champions League games. Therefore, Valencia was still able to field the strongest players in this game.
lineup.
There are just some changes in the forward position.
Reyes replaced Vicente and Angulo replaced Villa. The two substitutes were injured.
Vicente's injury is not serious, but he will need to miss half a month of the game.
AC Milan underestimated the opponent at first, thinking that it would not take much effort to beat such a team that was troubled by internal and external troubles.
As a result, Valencia scored one goal in the first half and found something was wrong. Valencia seemed not to be disturbed.
In addition to scoring goals, their performance was also outstanding.
This outstanding performance made AC Milan feel in danger.
So Ancelotti made decisive adjustments during the halftime break, asking the team to shrink its defense.
Losing one goal in an away game is fine, but losing two goals is a big problem.
※※※
In the end, AC Milan left Mestalla with a conceding goal.
Although they won at home, this score did not allow Valencia to qualify. It would be difficult to play away games.
But at this time, Chang Sheng couldn't care anymore.
In the twenty-ninth round, Valencia faced Osasuna at home.
In this game, although Chang Sheng cannot play, he can arrange his troops. He can use his game skills, and he can also control the game by his own means.
This game is his first game after the "Lopera tragedy".
The team suffered a heavy blow. He didn't want his team to lose the game. Although he couldn't be on the scene to direct, he didn't want people to laugh.
So after playing in the Champions League against AC Milan, he put his focus on the league.
This is a war between him and the Spanish Football Federation, and it is also a war between Valencia and the Spanish Football Federation. He cannot admit defeat under any circumstances.
After the last day of training before the game, Chang Sheng called the whole team together and said to them: "I have only one request for you in tomorrow's game, and that is victory. I will not accept any result other than victory. Some people think that this can defeat them.
Us. Then this is an opportunity to tell them how wrong they are!"
After the team was disbanded, Chang Sheng said to Guardiola: "Tomorrow's game, please."
Guardiola nodded: "I'll do my best."
Chang Sheng frowned: "You can do it if you have some confidence!"
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Chang Sheng was speechless.

Osasuna is not a strong team and they are playing away from home. Originally, there was no suspense in this game.
But who said Valencia was worse than them?
Neither the head coach nor the assistant coach can appear on the coaching bench in this game. The media don’t even know who should direct the game on the spot...
In terms of players, as many as four people were suspended for this game.
Canizares received his fifth yellow card of the season for protesting in the last game and was automatically suspended for one game.
Alberda, Baraja and Carvalho were all suspended for receiving red cards.
Even a complete double midfielder is not enough.
If Guardiola hadn't been in charge of the game as interim head coach, Guardiola would have been the winner.
Now after some adjustments, Valencia gave up the 433 formation.
Type 442 instead.
Marchena replaced Carvalho on the back line and partnered with Ayala. The reason why Marchena would rather be used than Pellegrino is because Marchena and Mad Dog's tactics are more compatible, and Pellegrino is old.
After that, the ability to accept new things cannot be flattered.
At full back, Aurelio and Curro Torres partnered. In this game, Valencia was at home, with little defensive pressure and needed to attack. The cautious Paulo Ferreira was naturally not as good as Curo Torres.
Currently in the league, Curro Torres has two goals and three assists. And Paulo Ferreira has nothing. He has been in Valencia for two seasons and has not scored a single goal or assisted a single assist. No matter in
The league is still in the Copa del Rey or in the European competition. He is famous for his caution.
But the key to winning is his caution, so he didn't care if Ferreira didn't score or assist.
Sometimes the media will laugh at Ferreira's caution, and Chang Sheng will defend his disciple and accuse the media of not knowing anything.
The goalkeeper was suspended due to Canizares, and substitute goalkeeper Palop got the opportunity to play in the game. He usually appears more in the Copa del Rey. However, since Valencia was eliminated from the Copa del Rey, he has not had the chance.
.
The midfielder and striker have seen the biggest changes.
In the midfield, Deco and Cambiasso formed a double midfielder, Reyes pulled back to play the left midfielder, Angulo was the right midfielder, and Ibrahimovic and Mista were the forwards.
This lineup is their first game this season and has never been played before.
But it should be enough to fight Osasuna.
Before the game started, Valencia fans displayed a giant banner in the stands that read "Applause for the self-purification of the refereeing community!"
This is Valencia fans mocking the referee. After the last round of the league, the most angry people are probably these fans.
Even though Andredo Garcia has announced his retirement, Valencia fans are still unwilling to give up. If they insist on stabbing Andredo Garcia's wound again, it will be like hanging the corpse on the city wall...
…
Guardiola appeared on the coaching bench as a head coach in this game, which surprised many media - they originally thought Guardiola would be the defensive midfielder.
As Guardiola coached in a game, his performance was quite satisfactory. There was no on-the-spot command that made people shine, but there were no stupid moves either.
Moen believes that Guardiola is actually a puppet. The team's lineup is arranged for winning. Under what circumstances, who should be replaced and who should not be replaced. Before the game, the winning team is expected to have detailed explanations. So this game
The game is still won by remote control command.
In fact, Moeen was wrong. Chang Sheng, the on-the-spot conductor of this game, really didn't say anything. Everything was Guardiola's own decision.
Chang Sheng did not come to the scene at all. He chose to watch the game at home just like he had been banned before.
So when he heard Moen's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
In the end, Valencia swept Osasuna 5-0 at home.
Ibrahimovic completed a hat trick in the game.
This is Chang Sheng's arrangement before the game. Because 433 cannot be played in this game, the original tactics cannot be used. At the same time, in order to ensure victory, Chang Sheng simply just like the previous game against Real Madrid, let the players
The ball was passed to Ibrahimovic, leaving the Swedes to attack.
The effect is really good.
Ibrahimovic lived up to expectations and completed his second hat-trick in Valencia.
After his first hat-trick, he was ignored by the All-Winners.
But this time he doesn't have to worry, because Valencia's forward must now rely on him to score.

The post-match press conference was also attended by Guardiola.
He was mainly responsible for conveying Chang Sheng's words to the media. Chang Sheng had just had a phone call with him before and after praising Guardiola's performance, he asked him to help convey a few words.
"He said that since the referee sent off five players from Valencia, the game is 5:0. It's a pity that Mr. Andredo Garcia didn't send off our entire team including the coach in one breath. Otherwise we would have
Maybe we can score a basketball score in this game..." Guardiola said on the podium, facing a group of reporters.
Hearing his words, the reporters looked at each other in confusion. This victorious person is really petty... They have already retired, but they still haven't forgotten to eliminate him...
But the journalists in Valencia felt very happy.
That’s it!
Otherwise, how can we vent our anger?
Just to show those who think we are easy to bully, Valencia cannot be defeated!
If anyone dares to complain about Andredo Garcia after the game, they will give the other party a good look.
