Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth things but three (guarantee
In the current Valencia team, there are actually quite a few players who have participated in the Champions League final.
Goalkeeper Canizares, center back Ayala, midfielders Albelda and Baraja, forwards Angulo and Vicente.
However, Vicente was unable to participate in this Champions League game due to injury, and Angulo and Baraja also served as substitutes.
So there are actually not many players with experience in the Champions League finals.
Most of them are young players. Young players are motivated but lack experience.
Therefore, many people are speculating that the winning starting lineup for Valencia should emphasize balance, that is, there are experienced players and young and energetic players.
So everyone guesses that the winning starting lineup should be similar to what he usually uses in the league, goalkeeper Canizares, center backs Ayala and Carvalho, left back Aurelio, right back Paulo Ferreira
The three midfielders are Albelda and Baraja, as well as Deco. The center is Villa, the left winger is Ronaldinho, and the right winger Reyes.
Everyone on the domestic forum also has the same view.
Because this is the strongest lineup Chang Sheng can field.
There is one more piece of evidence that strongly supports this starting lineup.
In the last round of the league, when Valencia faced Albacete at home, the starting lineup sent by Chang Sheng was not this. Obviously, he rested most of the players in order to prepare for the Champions League final in midweek.
.
But in fact, these people guessed wrong.
Valencia's starting lineup is not what they thought it would be.
The goalkeeper is indeed Sanizares, the center backs are indeed Ayala and Carvalho, and the left back is indeed Aurelio. But the right back has changed from Paulo Ferreira to Curo Torres!
This surprises many people.
What people didn't expect was also the arrangement in the midfield.
Baraja's method of winning in the midfield was replaced by Cambiasso's starting position.
There is no change in the forward line, it is still Villa, Ronaldinho and Reyes.
Although there are only changes in two positions, this actually means that the tactics are also different from before.
With Albelda and Baraja starting, Valencia emphasized the hardness of the midfield.
Now that Cambiasso is in Changsheng, he hopes that his midfielder can be more controlling. To deal with Mourinho, controlling the ball is the first priority. It is useless to fight with the opponent because Mourinho's
The team is very tough. They have a head-to-head confrontation with Porto, but they are just using their own shortcomings to attack each other's strengths. Only a fool would do this.
In addition, the fact that Curo Torres replaced Paulo Ferreira in the starting lineup also illustrates the offensive requirements of winning.
Paulo Ferreira is a very good right back, but his excellence is not reflected in the offense. He is impeccable in defense.
But offensively, he helped the team too little.
He and Tulalang are both full-time defenders.
This has caused Valencia to walk on one leg offensively for a long time. The offensive on the left is very sharp because of Ronaldinho and Aurelio.
With only one Reyes on the right, it is inevitable that he will be unable to support himself at times.
In the Champions League final, Chang Sheng hopes that his team can truly fly on both sides.
Although the game skills he chooses are defensive skills, his tactical arrangements focus more on offense and control.
Curo Torres was discovered by him this season. He is not as good as Paulo Ferreira in defense, but his offensive ability is worse than Ferreira. He can be regarded as a full-back with a balanced offense and defense. He can attack and attack. Can come back.
Chang Sheng's requirements for full backs are that simple.
The reason why I chose Curo Torres as the winner in this final was to give Porto a little surprise offensively.
If Mourinho thinks that his right-side attack basically relies on Reyes alone, he doesn't mind opening Mourinho's eyes.
Of course, Baraja and Paulo Ferreira did not start the game, Chang Sheng also made arrangements and explained them clearly.
They are not allowed to start not because their strength is not worthy of the Champions League final, but because of tactical needs.
The tactics of a game cannot be static.
The emphasis on offense in the early stages is to take the lead in the game.
Once he takes the lead, he needs to defend.
At that time Baraja and Paulo Ferreira were obviously more useful.
Neither player has any objections to the winning arrangement.
Baraja is a person who is determined to win the team in his first season.
Chang Sheng explained it clearly to him, and there was nothing he didn't support.
Having won so many championships with Chang Sheng, what else can he be picky and dissatisfied with? If it were another head coach, Valencia might just have to compete to qualify for the Champions League every year.
Paul Ferreira is the same as Baraja. Winning often is a blessing for him.
When he was still unknown in a small Portuguese team, it was Valencia Club that brought him out. When he met Chang Sheng for the first time, he knew that Valencia Club asked them to buy him because of Chang Sheng.
I bought it myself.
He only supports Chang Sheng.
Therefore, this arrangement seems surprising to outsiders. They are worried that the two people who were originally the main players will be dissatisfied with the winning arrangement, which will lead to civil strife in the locker room and ultimately affect Valencia's combat effectiveness.
Mourinho is someone who thinks so.
When he discovered that the winning starting lineup was different from what he had predicted, he was not surprised, but laughed.
Does that Chinese person think he can win the game by blindly pursuing innovation and change and catching himself off guard?
A final cannot be won by making a surprising start to the lineup.
Generally speaking, this arrangement does not deviate from my prediction. It is just a change of people in two positions, and it does not lead to a major change in the entire main lineup.
Mourinho has nothing to worry about.

The live broadcast of the Champions League final is at 2:45 in the morning in China.
At this time, CCTV in mainland China has not broadcast live Champions League games. There are only two ways for Chinese fans to watch live broadcasts of Champions League games. One is local sports channels. These sports channels have signed contracts with ESPN and can broadcast them.
Champions League games. However, the disadvantage is that because it is not a satellite TV station, the signal coverage is limited. Except for provincial cities, it cannot be seen in many places.
The second way was through the Internet. At that time, video live broadcast was not as developed as it would later be, but it was already available. Of course, there was also text live broadcast.
Most Chinese football fans and netizens are used to watching football and at the same time opening QQ online to chat with their comrades who stayed up late to watch football together.
The same is true on the forum.
There were also such people on the forum Chang Sheng went to in the early morning.
Some people watch it directly in front of the TV and surf the Internet at the same time, while some people watch the Internet on their computers and browse forums at the same time.
When these people saw the starting lineups of both sides printed on the TV screen, they were all stunned.
They thought about the pinned post.
"I x! Isn't it? You really guessed it right?!"
"I'll go! It's not really a win-win game, is it?! Can you guess such an unpopular starting lineup correctly?"
Immediately, countless netizens flocked to this post, and they quoted and replied below the floor where Changsheng released the starting lineup: "Thank you, God!" "God, please tell me the winning numbers for the next Shuangseqiu lottery!" "God, please tell me how to throw away the PetroChina I bought.
Is it done?"
Someone else shouted in the post: "Where's the hymn? Where's the hymn? Come out and do the live broadcast!"
And received an enthusiastic response from the masses.
Of course, someone else posted the link to this post outside, and the title was as horrifying as Chang Sheng’s: “Chang Sheng’s true identity is suspected of appearing in the CM Players Forum!”
So countless netizens from other websites flocked to it.
In order to be able to see the posts, they also registered an account and logged in to watch.
Because too many people poured in in a short period of time, the forum server even crashed...
Of course, this is something that happened on the domestic Internet and will not have any impact on the game...

In the final preparations before the start of the game, Mourinho was repeating the tactical points of this game to his players.
"Valencia has good skills, but they are not tough enough. What should we do against a team that is good at controlling the ball and passing it back and forth? Instead of sitting in the backcourt and waiting for them to attack, we can use our physical advantage to attack
Them! We have to make them afraid of our physical collision, make them afraid! Then they won’t dare to control the ball. Then that’s our chance!”
Since selling Deco, Mourinho has begun to follow the route of muscle and speed.
His Porto style is tough, his defense is tenacious, and his counterattacks are sharp and fast.
This already has the prototype of what he will do in the future.
Chang Sheng may not have thought that it was his original transfer move that contributed to the complete formation of Mourinho's tactical thinking.
Relying on this muscular and fast team, Porto eliminated Manchester United, Lyon, Chelsea and other teams along the way and reached the Champions League final. It suppressed Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and other teams in the domestic league and successfully defended the league championship.
This is the iron-blooded football that Mourinho emphasizes.

At the same time, in the Valencia locker room, Chang Sheng was also making final mobilization.
"Three years ago, we reached the final. At that time, many people in this team were not here yet. And Valencia has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons! This is a remarkable achievement, even if it is
It is not easy for a wealthy team to reach the finals for two consecutive seasons. But why did Valencia choose to change coaches? Because we have no championship and have reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons. Such brilliant results are in
Facing the runner-up position for two consecutive seasons, it is simply a failure not worth mentioning!"
"In order to change this fate of failure, Valencia changed the club president and the head coach. My predecessor, Cooper, left. I am here. But to be honest, when I came to this club,
When we were in the team, I’m afraid no one expected me to lead you back to the Champions League finals. At that time, I was a rookie coach with only one year of coaching experience in the second division league. Like most of you, I had no experience in coaching.
A newcomer who has proven himself on the mainstream stage. For two consecutive seasons, Valencia could only fail in the quarterfinals. In the UEFA Cup, we were eliminated by Inter Milan. In the Champions League, we were eliminated by AC Milan.
When we met AC Milan again this season in the eight-to-four round, many people thought that this was Valencia's fate. But I don't believe in fate. My appearance is to break those damn fates!"
"So everyone has seen that we reversed AC Milan 5:0, and we came to Schalke! We have won three league championships in the past three years, but why did we still lose when we faced AC Milan in the Champions League?
Do you think we are inferior to them? It's simple, we are not European champions. We need to use a European champion to justify our name. We need to use a European champion to tell everyone that we, Valencia, are a team that cannot be ignored in European football.
The power of!"
"Today, we have an excellent opportunity. Two years later, we are finally back here. This is the stage that should belong to us. This is the third time Valencia has reached the Champions League final. We have a saying in China
Well, it's called 'Things can only be done once or twice'. It means that one thing can be done once or twice, but not over and over again. This kind of thing like making it to the finals but becoming someone else's foil will never happen again. So this time,
We’re not here to be runner-up! We’re here to be the king of Europe!”
"We have all grown from unknowns to big stars. Now we only have the last step to become a superstar, win the Champions League, and then become famous!"
