With the consent of Paris Saint-Germain, Valencia can now finally negotiate a personal contract with Ronaldinho.
But Chang Sheng no longer has to go to Paris. He only needs a phone call now to ask Ronaldinho's agent, Robert Assis, to come to Valencia to discuss the contract.
There is basically no need for him to come forward in this matter.
Valencia Club naturally has a dedicated person responsible for signing contracts.
On the phone, Assis was not surprised that he was going to Valencia to negotiate the contract.
"I have been paying attention to this matter. Club officials just called me and told me that they agreed to your offer."
Chang Sheng smiled: "I said we are sincere, so we are really sincere. Your brother coming to Valencia will definitely improve his career."
Assis chuckled a few times but did not answer the question.
Whether it can really improve, who knows.
However, Valencia is also the champion team of La Liga, which is better than the tenth place in Ligue 1.
So Assis also thinks that moving to Valencia is not a bad idea. In addition, he can also get a huge signing fee.
He was happy to facilitate the transfer deal.
※※※
Assis quickly flew to Valencia and met with Valencia Club Chairman Jaime Otti, and then the two sides started negotiations.
The person in charge of negotiations on Valencia's side is Llorente Martin.
If you always win, you won't care about anything.
He also met with Assis, who told him that there should be no problem with Ronaldinho transferring to Valencia.
Chang Sheng is just waiting for good news.
He has to prepare for a very important game.
This may be the most important first game of the season.
Valencia faces Real Sociedad away from home.
The two teams won the last round, so now they both have 78 points.
As long as Valencia can defeat Real Sociedad on the road, they can regain their three-point lead.
The media began to hype this important event from a week before the game.
Many people are surprised by this situation.
No one knew before the season that these two teams would compete for the league championship.
Valencia's victory last season was already surprising, and defending the title this season is even more difficult.
Not to mention Real Sociedad, a team that was struggling to avoid relegation a few seasons ago, can now reach second place in the league in one go, tied with Valencia.
Real Sociedad's head coach, Reina Denue, previously coached Ligue 1 Nantes, and he led the Nantes team to win the Ligue 1 championship in the 2000-2001 season.
Then he came to Real Sociedad this season.
As a head coach, although he has won two French Cup championships, two French Super Cup championships, and a French Ligue 1 championship. But in the head coaching profession, he can still only be regarded as a nobody. After all, Ligue 1 is more influential than La Liga.
Much weaker.
But his results as a youth training coach are very outstanding.
He successively brought out Deschamps, Desailly and Makelele.
After he coached Real Sociedad, he completely corrected Xavi Alonso's position in the team.
As a result, Real Sociedad embarked on a dark horse path.
Before the game started, Denue said they would give Valencia a fatal blow at home.
"At the last minute of the league, we still have the opportunity to face our direct competitors at home, which is more beneficial to us. Valencia has been a strong contender for the league title this season and they are in a good position. And
We struggled to catch up and finally caught up with them at the last minute. I think we won’t let the opportunity slip away this time!”
Xabi Alonso, the core of Real Sociedad, also seemed confident: "We will definitely defeat our opponents at home and win the championship!"
Chang Sheng's response was to snort: "Everyone has the freedom to dream."
The implication is that Real Sociedad's talk of defeating Valencia at home and winning the league championship is a pipe dream.
Real Sociedad players also called on the home fans to fill the Anoeta Stadium to create a terrifying home atmosphere and put pressure on the visiting team.
"We must turn the Anoeta Stadium into a cemetery where Valencia is buried!"
This is the slogan put forward by Real Sociedad.
※※※
There are many strong players in Real Sociedad's formation, such as Nihat, such as Kovacevic, such as Alan Bleu.
But the most important player is a young man who is only 21 years old, Xavi Alonso.
He is the core of the team's offense and defense.
Chang Sheng is well aware of the power of Xabi Alonso, a player who has attracted Real Madrid's interest at a young age.
But my wife is so powerful but it also has side effects.
That is that Real Sociedad relies too much on him.
It is very simple to deal with Real Sociedad. As long as Xavi Alonso is contained, Real Sociedad will be contained.
Therefore, the winner of this game specially built a cage for Xavi Alonso.
It consists of two people, Baraja and Alberda, with Deco waiting for the opportunity.
This defensive lineup contained Zidane in the last round of the league.
No matter how good Xavi Alonso is, can he be better than Zidane?
Xavi Alonso had a problem until he matured.
That is, his ability to escape is relatively weak. After getting the ball, the most he can do is turn around, block the opponent behind him, and send various long passes.
When he was playing for Real Madrid, he would often get the ball in the midfielder position, and then be intercepted by the opponent and launch an attack directly.
In an era when the core of the offense had not all moved back, Xavi Alonso rarely encountered defenders from behind, so most of the time, he was behind and would not face any defensive players. He could organize calmly.
Attack and pass the ball.
So at this time, Xavi Alonso was at home in Real Sociedad and was able to lead Real Sociedad all the way to second place in La Liga and compete with Valencia for the league championship.
In fact, just like Chang Sheng used Deco to organize the offense, it was all because football at this time still lacked methods to deal with this kind of retreating playmaker.
However, it is always better than being a time traveler, but it is very valuable.
In order to completely contain Xabi Alonso, Chang Sheng came up with a defensive midfielder from the front!
In this game, he asked Baraja and Albelda to play as the attacking midfielder, but he did not need them to score goals. He just asked them to cut off the connection between Xavi Alonso and the frontcourt and backcourt.
This prevents Xavi Alonso from sending cannonballs forward easily, and at the same time presses Xavi Alonso in the frontcourt. If he can intercept the ball, he can launch an attack directly.
※※※
Before the game started, Chang Sheng told his players in the visiting team's locker room at the Anoeta Stadium: "Although the media has hyped it very much, I want to tell everyone that this is not the most important game of the season.
.So don’t worry too much about the championship, we won them, and we still need to play well in the next two league games.”
"But this is not a reason for us not to play well. In every game, we must go all out. I believe this should be your consensus. Because without such a consensus, Valencia will not be able to continue.
Sixty-five games undefeated. What’s more, this is the first place in the league versus the second place in the league. I can’t think of any reason to give up this game. So, you should know what to do!”
There was no clue at all in the starting list given to TV stations and reporters by Valencia.
In the starting lineup of both sides shown by the TV station, Albelda, Baraja and Deco are also lined up in the defensive midfielder position.
But when the game started, someone quickly saw something was wrong.
Media reporters, especially commentators, can have a panoramic view of the stadium because the terrain is high enough.
Therefore, when the game lasted ten minutes and both sides' formations were fully deployed, Moen realized that something was wrong.
"Huh? This is..."
※※※
Not only him, but the players on the Real Sociedad Stadium also saw something was wrong.
Because as soon as Xabi Alonso gets the ball, two tough... defensive midfielders will appear next to him!
When Albelda rushed forward and destroyed Xavi Alonso's possession of the ball, Xavi Alonso looked at him with incredible eyes, and then looked at the other side of himself. Baraja was smiling at him.
Xabi Alonso looked left and right and found that he was right.
On the left is Baraja and on the right is Alberda.
He looked back again and found that his center back teammate Gabriel Schurer was not far away from him.
This shows that his position is correct, he is indeed in the midfielder position...
But Baraja and Albelda are both defensive midfielders...
He is a defensive midfielder, and they are also defensive midfielders. How could they meet?
There are very few defensive midfielders who run through the entire midfield area and rush here to defend the defensive midfielder. By the time they rush up, they will have already passed the football.
So they didn't come up from the backcourt, they were here from the beginning!
Xabi Alonso is in a mess.
When did Baraja and Albelda start playing as attacking midfielders?
※※※
"Valencia's starting lineup in this game is a bit strange. Although they still played 433, the two defensive midfielders in the lineup moved to the position of the attacking midfielder..." Moeen finally understood.
Baraja and Albelda are the attacking midfielders in this game!
"Let the two defensive midfielders advance... This is to contain Xabi Alonso!" Moen also understood Chang Sheng's intention of such an arrangement.
"The constant victory has created a new idea. Since Xabi Alonso can be a defensive midfielder to organize attacks in the backcourt, then the defensive midfielder can be used to suppress the opponent's organizational midfielder. Just like now...
I think this is really a genius idea. But I have a question... Isn't Valencia, which often beats itself, just such a team with a deep-lying playmaker? Doesn't it mean that it provides everyone with a way to deal with itself?
Solution?”
Whether in the stands or in front of the TV, there were people immersed in recording the scene they just saw and the words of the commentator Moen.
For two consecutive seasons, Valencia's performance has been outstanding and they are almost unstoppable.
Many people are looking for ways to curb them.
Unexpectedly, they have now come up with their own ending plan.
You must take note of this carefully. When the new season comes, it may become a good way to deal with Valencia.
Being defeated by the method I came up with, I wonder how Chang Sheng would feel...
