Chapter 191 Great Increase in Popularity
When the victorious Valencia beat Liverpool 3-0 at home in the first game of the Champions League, no one thought it was a big deal.
The strength between Liverpool and Valencia, it is normal for anyone to win. Valencia caught up with the home game, and it is not a big deal to win 3:0.
When Valencia defeated Spartak Moscow with the same 3-0 score in the away game, people began to pay attention to this team.
But the degree of attention is still limited.
After all, if you only pay attention to two consecutive victories, then this attention is too unreliable?
But when Valencia unceremoniously slaughtered Basel, the second place in the group who came to challenge, 6:0 at home, everyone looked at Valencia completely differently.
Basel has proved their strength through the performance of the first two rounds of the group stage, they are a tenacious team.
This can be seen from the fact that they can retreat from Anfield and bring back a point.
But such a tenacious team was defeated by Valencia 6:0 in Mestalla!
Played three games in the group stage, Valencia scored twelve goals without conceding a goal. The performance in the same period ranked first among all 32 teams participating in the Champions League!
Such a team obviously can no longer be viewed and evaluated with a general perspective.
The whole of Europe must start to face up to this team.
After the game, I don't know if it was Spain and Switzerland, but the entire European media was full of reports about this game.
This score between Valencia and Basel is the biggest score in this round of the Champions League group stage.
This score surprised many people who didn't watch the game-even if Valencia was strong and Basel was weak, wouldn't it be possible to score such a score?
You must know that Basel is second in the group, and has never been at a disadvantage when facing Liverpool.
Why was Valencia beaten so helpless?
They go to the game highlights, they watch the game film.
After reading it, those who felt incredible fell silent.
Judging from the game video,
It's not wrong for Basel to lose.
Valencia completely controlled the situation on the field.
The final possession rate was 72 per cent for Valencia and a measly 28 per cent for Basel...
More than 70% of the ball possession rate is the reason why Valencia can beat the opponent by such a large score.
Football is firmly controlled at the feet of Valencia, and Basel can only run behind Valencia's ass.
They are exhausted. Completely lost the initiative.
Valencia is like a cat that has caught a mouse, playing with their prey to their heart's content.
In this, it is naturally Valencia's tactics that play a key role.
A modified version of -taka that Chang Sheng calls "Mad Dog".
Football experts from all over the world are focusing on Valencia. They analyzed Valencia's tactical arrangements from various angles.
The conclusions drawn in the end were consistent and similar-this Valencia team played football beyond the times. Their football concepts are very advanced, relying on the simplest "pass" to complete very complex tactics.
Watching their football is a beautiful enjoyment.
First of all, everyone admits that Valencia's football is very good-looking, and they pass it continuously. running position. It is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, giving everyone a beautiful enjoyment.
Secondly, the most important thing is that the team will play well and win games and win championships.
They played this kind of football last season, and they won the league title that season. This proves that playing well can win the championship. Before this, there has always been a popular saying in football - if you want to win the championship, you have to give up the audience.
In other words, the team that wins the audience loses the championship.
But the appearance of Valencia told everyone. it's not true.
They can not only win the audience, but also win the championship!
Their success has given confidence to many teams who stick to attacking football.
Then media experts analyzed further and found that the situation was not as good as they thought.
Although Valencia's football has given confidence to many teams that insist on offensive football, the reality is that if these teams want to imitate Valencia, they will die miserably.
The reason is simple, they don't have that many suitable players.
But Chang Sheng has found many players in the transfer market that fit the team's tactics very well.
This may be the key reason why Valencia can achieve such results.
Anyway. Valencia's tactic is very powerful. Chang Sheng, who came up with this tactic, was naturally classified as a genius coach and attracted the attention of the whole of Europe.
More and more reporters came outside Patna Sports City to try to interview Chang Sheng.
After each training session, it was not Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Vicente, Albelda, or Canizares who surrounded the most reporters. It's... always victorious.
Everyone is very interested in this mysterious Eastern coach.
In addition, the Chinese media who have been watching have also found that they can interview Chang Sheng, which makes them very happy.
Many people interview Chang Sheng, wanting to know why he can achieve such great achievements at such a young age.
Chang Sheng's standard answer is that his years of study tours in various parts of Europe have given him a lot of accumulation, and at the same time. I also have an excellent team, Rudy Gonzalez, Guardiola... These people have given me a lot of help and support.
This is Chang Sheng's answer when accepting Ji Leng, and now it has become the standard answer he uses to deal with those reporters.
It is easy to say so, because it is reasonable and impeccable.
Even the most inquisitive reporters could not find the problem. All of Chang Sheng's experiences are true and well documented. But who would have thought that inside this human body was a soul from 2012?
What's more, what he said can also attract a lot of people's good opinion of him, thinking that he is a good coach who is humble and not greedy for credit. He attaches great importance to his team and does not take all the credit for himself.
Chang Sheng's name and photos began to appear frequently in mainstream European media.
With the spread of these media reports, more and more people know about Chang Sheng.
Changsheng's popularity has greatly increased.

After the game against Basel, the fifth round of the league followed, with Valencia playing against Celta Vigo at home.
In this game, because Changsheng insisted on a large rotation, the team finally shook hands with Celta at home 1:1.
Five league rounds. Three wins and two draws, with eleven points.
Valencia's league ranking dropped by one place, from third to fourth.
Because Real Madrid has performed very well in these few rounds of the league. Like Valencia, they have three wins and two draws, accumulating eleven points, but their goal difference is more than Valencia. So they beat Valencia. Take the third place in the league.
When this scene appeared, the media in Madrid expressed excitedly that Real Madrid had finally completed the reversal in Valencia in the league standings.
This is a situation that never happened last season-Real Madrid's league ranking is even higher than that of Valencia!
However, in the face of the elated Madrid people, Chang Sheng's answer was very simple, but it was definitely bloody.
"Excellence!"
He said so.

The performance issued by Valencia this season is actually quite good, and it remains unbeaten so far. But their league ranking is not very high.
This is because at the beginning of the new season, many teams performed well, and everyone's points are tight.
After the second round of the league, there are at least four teams that have won two consecutive victories. In the standings, they can only rely on goal difference for the time being.
As the league progresses, the levels are gradually opened up, but there are also a few teams whose points have been stalemate.
For example, after three rounds, Celta ranked first. They won all three games and accumulated nine points.
Valencia's seven points can only be ranked third. And it still relies on the goal difference advantage. There are as many as five teams with seven points tied.
Now that five rounds are over, Valencia ranks fourth, and they have eleven points.
Celta has fallen from the top of the league, because they have a two-game tie.
Now ranked first in the league is not Valencia, nor Deportivo, nor Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Real Sociedad.
They have four wins and one draw after five rounds. Accumulated thirteen points and ranked first.
This surprised many people.
You must know that the ranking of Real Sociedad in the past few seasons has always been in the lower mid-range position, and it was even almost relegated at one point.
Now they can rank first in the league with an undefeated record, surpassing the defending champion Valencia. And traditional giants Real Madrid, Barcelona.
Many people even think that Real Sociedad will be a strong contender for the La Liga title this season.
The emergence of Real Sociedad proves how difficult it is to defend the title - is Valencia good enough? Three wins and two draws, undefeated, but this performance can only rank fourth in the league!
Real Sociedad's outstanding performance benefited from the outstanding performance of a young player.
He is Harvey Alonso.
Xabi Alonso is the type of player that whenever he is on the pitch, his teammates are better than usual.
To put it bluntly, it is the engine of the team.
Historically, Real Sociedad performed very well this season and finally won the league runner-up. Second only to champions Real Madrid.
Last season, the ever-victorious rival was Real Madrid, but Valencia's competitor was not Real Madrid, but Deportivo, which has been ranked second in the league.
The situation this season is very similar to last season, Valencia is about to face off against Real Sociedad.

After the national team match day, in the sixth round of the league, Valencia challenged Atletico Madrid away.
Atletico Madrid, which was still in the second division last season, was successfully promoted under the leadership of Aragones, and it was promoted with a huge advantage.
Although they have been promoted, Atletico Madrid are the culprit who will never forget their extra season in the second division.
That is Changsheng.
The ever-victorious Getafe kicked Atletico Madrid back to the second division when they had already been promoted in advance, causing Atletico Madrid to waste another season in the second division.
This time it was finally promoted, and the first thing Atlético Madrid did was to seek revenge from Chang Sheng.
The league has only started six rounds, and this scene has arrived.
And it's the home of Atlético de Madrid!
There is simply no better arena for revenge!
Atletico Madrid fans don't care that Valencia is currently number one in the league, and there are many media praises.
They just want revenge, and want this arrogant villain to accept the punishment of Atletico Madrid!
"We're back from hell and ready for Armageddon, damn Chinese!"
Atlético de Madrid fans began to look forward to beating the ever-victorious Valencia at the Calderón Stadium.

Also, everyone, there are two hours left in the fight.
We really have hope of getting into fourth!
Let's get closer to the old cat!
