Chapter 197 Personal Hero (55/136)

Avril Lavigne who has become a star is very busy. The next day she was going to New York to participate in the recording of a TV show, and then she was going back to Canada, where a business event was waiting for her.

The busy Avril Lavigne no longer has time to go shopping with Chang Sheng unrestrained and carefree.

After Avril Lavigne left, Chang Sheng also left Los Angeles.

He returned to Valencia.

Although the holidays are still going on, he is already preparing for the new year.

※※※

The Christmas holiday is very short.

There is no winter break in the English Premier League. In fact, the winter break in La Liga is also very short.

On January 2, the whole team assembled.

Prepare for the league on January 5th and the Copa del Rey on January 8th.

These two games are 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 played against Deportivo at home.

Before the game, Real Madrid held back their energy and wanted to break Valencia's undefeated golden body in this game.

Now Real Madrid hates Changsheng deeply.

The reasons are of course multifaceted.

First of all, Valencia led by Changsheng is the nemesis of Real Madrid. So far, Real Madrid has never won Changsheng once.

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 will compete for the league championship this season, but now the difference between them and Valencia is as much as seven points.

Fourth, and most importantly, is the new enmity. That is Mendieta.

When it comes to Mendieta, Real Madrid is now full of anger.

Florentino didn't know how many times he scolded Valencia and Chang Sheng behind his back.

When Florentino dug Mendieta from Valencia, he was full of joy, thinking that he had strengthened his own strength and weakened Valencia.

Unexpectedly, Valencia was not weakened, and their performance was even better. It's my side. Troubled by Mendieta.

The first is the battle over Mendieta's position, which has troubled the team for a long time.

Then there is the locker room problem that this position battle has caused.

The media are now hyping up this matter all day long, and everything that was not a problem has been hyped to be a problem, making the Real Madrid locker room restless. What is the contradiction between Mendieta and Figo, what is the contradiction between Mendieta and Elguera...

Some revelations look as if they are real. Some are true.

Real Madrid has been inconsistent this season. It is related to these internal contradictions.

Danghu spent 30 million euros to buy Mendieta, which made Real Madrid's finances tight, and almost had no money to buy Ronaldo-if Moratti hadn't finally agreed to Real Madrid's installment payment. They really don't have the money to buy Ronaldo.

After buying it, I found out that I was cheated...

They thought they bought a superstar, but they didn't expect to buy a giant pit!

Florentino was talking about how Valencia agreed to it so readily. He bargained for two young players, and didn't even ask for more money...

It turns out that Mendieta came here to trick us!

When Florentino understood this truth, he did not require Bosque to let Mendieta start. Although this may make others guess that he was cheated by Valencia. But this is a matter of time. Mendieta's performance is so poor, all fools know that Real Madrid spent 30 million plus Arbeloa and Cambiasso to buy Mendieta, which is a parallel import.

If for the sake of face, Mendieta continues to stay in the starting lineup, I am afraid it will lead to the collapse of the team's performance.

Real Madrid failed to win the league title last season, and they cannot lose the league title this season anyway.

For the league championship, it is natural to let Mendieta sit on the bench.

He is now preoccupied with letting Mendieta go after the season is over.

It's just that he tried a few times, but the situation was not good.

Mendieta's agent, Toldella, beat him to death and refused to leave. The agent who nodded and bowed to him when he signed the contract, is now dragging him along.

Of course, Toldera would not be willing to let Mendieta leave, because Mendieta's salary in Real Madrid is quite a lot now.

That's a lot of money.

The only condition for Toldella to agree to Mendieta's departure is that Real Madrid will give Mendieta's salary for the remaining three years in one go.

This gave Florentino a headache.

I dug a Mendieta myself, and it became like this.

Look at Cambiasso and Arbeloa who were brought to Valencia by Changsheng. One is a player who has always been underappreciated in Real Madrid. One is a young man who is still in the Real Madrid echelon.

But under Chang Sheng's hands, both of them were able to play in Valencia's first team. Among them, Cambiasso even had a regular chance to play and performed well. There is a goal. Two assists.

A young player like Arbeloa can start in the Copa del Rey and contribute an assist.

Mendieta played fifteen times for Real Madrid in all competitions. No goals, no assists.

This is the difference...

When he thought that the culprit of this gap was Chang Sheng, Florentino was even less in a good mood.

Therefore, in this game, Real Madrid will end Valencia's undefeated no matter how much they pay!

※※※

For this game, Chang Sheng was well prepared.

Before the game, various game training skills that can improve the team's ability in a short period of time were used.

Then the game skills, all he chose were defensive skills.

In the game, Valencia used his own ball-handling tactics to firmly control the ball from the first minute of the game, so that Real Madrid could only occasionally follow the football and be led by the nose by Valencia.

Tactically, Bosque really has no good solution. So he can only pin his hopes on the state of the superstars, and hope that the superstars will be in a better state in this game.

The state of the superstars in this game is really good.

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 front court and headed Valencia to equalize the score.

In the 68th minute, Zidane regained the lead for Real Madrid.

Three minutes later, Guti helped the team extend the lead to two goals, and Real Madrid led Valencia 3:1.

Deafening cheers erupted from the Bernabéu stadium.

Real Madrid fans seem to want to spit out all the anger they received in Valencia last season!

The entire Bernabéu was shaking like an earthquake.

The TV broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up shot.

Chang Sheng's face was not very good-looking.

At seventy-one minutes, two goals behind. Still at home...

Is Valencia's unbeaten record coming to an end here?

In fact, Chang Sheng doesn't care much about how long the undefeated record can last. It's already quite remarkable if it's all about it.

But he doesn't want to end his unbeaten run against Real Madrid.

Tactically, his own team is actually fine, and even has an advantage on the scene. But in this game, the superstars of Real Madrid broke out collectively, a contest between individual heroism and collectivism. The previous five were victories for collectivism. Is it time to let individual heroism triumph?

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to Chang Sheng's mind - no, we also have personal heroes!

Ibrahimovic's stunning performance in the Copa del Rey final emerged.

So taking advantage of a dead ball, Chang Sheng called Deco to his side and taught him the opportunity face to face.

The adjustment of Changsheng is very simple. It is to gather the strength of the whole team to deliver 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 really got the support from the whole team and passed him the ball. Involve him in running positions, attract the opponent's defensive attention for him, create space 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 always needed to keep running, pull the side, retreat, and create opportunities for his teammates.

Didn't expect it to be reversed now. He doesn't need to pull the sidelines, he just needs to be at the top and keep catching the ball.

Ibrahimovic likes this way of playing football. He can save a lot of effort and put all his energy on how to score goals.

For the first time, he enjoyed the treatment of "offensive core"!

In this "new tactic", Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not feel uncomfortable at all, he seemed like a fish in water.

He felt he could finally present himself fully to people.

He wants to show Real Madrid that this is the real Zhelatan Ibrahimovic!

※※※

Seventy-ninth minute. When Ibrahimovic used his personal skills to break through Hierro and score a goal, the entire Bernabéu stadium fell silent.

After the goal, Ibrahimovic pounded his chest with his fist. Tell everyone that Real Madrid has superstars. Valencia does too!

While Villa was celebrating, he ran into the goal, picked up the football and ran back to the center circle.

There is still a ball, there are still ten minutes, there is still time!

Chang Sheng on the sidelines waved his fist twice. Instead of celebrating, he yelled at the Valencia players on the field: "One more goal, one more goal! Never lose!"

※※※

After the game restarted, Valencia's tactics remained unchanged, and the whole team still served Ibrahimovic, allowing him to give full play to his comprehensive characteristics.

In front of the newborn calf Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Hierro, who is almost thirty-five years old, really felt his own aging.

Regardless of the opponent's use of technology or body, I have nothing to do...

Real Madrid, which was originally in a good situation, suddenly appeared in danger at the last moment.

In the 89th minute, when Deco got the ball in the midfield, he faced Elguera who was coming up to press him, and used a turn around to get rid of him, blocked Elguera behind, and then passed the football to the Next to Albelda.

I ran without the ball, appeared in a new position, and then received a pass from Albelda.

At the same time, Valencia's attacking players were all running out of position, interfering with Real Madrid's defense.

Despite this, Real Madrid focused their defensive attention on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The young Swedish player is the biggest threat in the Valencia team.

Just when everyone thought Deco was going to give football to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as he had done so many times before.

Deco suddenly sent the football to the space in the ribs!

There, because the focus is on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, there is a blank area there, no Real Madrid players, but Valencia players!

"David Villa!!"

The narrator Moen shouted, and the sudden shout shocked many people in front of the TV.

He couldn't help being so excited. Because David Villa got the ball unmarked!

Ibrahimovic was waiting to catch the ball in the frontcourt. He didn't expect that the football didn't reach his feet. He was a little surprised.

Villa was not surprised, he seemed fully prepared for this sudden arrival of the ball.

After receiving the ball, he decisively kicked and shot!

The football flew into the goal from above Casillas' head!

3: 3!

Lore!

Valencia equalized the score!
