Chapter 260 Dual Core (76/136)
In order to strengthen the team's defense, Rijkaard rented Edgar Davis from Juventus when the transfer window of the winter break just opened. (, fiction is faster and better..)
The arrival of "Wild Boar" has strengthened the hardness of Barcelona's defense in the midfield. This improvement is very obvious and immediate.
The Barcelona midfielder, who was always blown up by the opponent before, has become impenetrable now.
Of course, Davis's style of play is not "Barcelona" at all, and there is no trace of -taka.
It worked out well though, so Davies quickly won Rijkaard's trust.
From the nineteenth round, Barcelona had five wins and one tie, remaining unbeaten. The league ranking also jumped from the twelfth place in the eighteenth round to the current fourth place, and finally entered the Champions League.
In these six games, Davis played all the games, started every game, and has not been replaced in advance.
It can be seen that his importance in the game.
However, the result of doing so was to sacrifice the viewing experience, which caused dissatisfaction among some Barcelona fans.
But Rijkaard can't care so much now.
He knows very well that the simplest examples of measuring a head coach's qualifications and success are victories and championships.
He knows how much Barcelona has been struggling for so many years, and how eager they are to win championships and wins.
So as long as the tactics that are conducive to the team's victory are good tactics.
In fact, there are indeed many people who have not had a championship for many years and began to reflect, eager to have a championship or victory.
Under such circumstances, Rijkaard will encounter much less resistance to implement changes.
So after a fine-tuning -taka came out again.
In fact, Rijkaard's inspiration comes from Chang Sheng.
Before deciding to reform, Rijkaard had studied Changsheng's mad dog tactics.
He found that under the premise that the core is all -taka, the biggest difference between the victorious Valencia is that it is tougher, especially the defense, which is very tough.
This has a lot to do with his discharge of Baraja and Albelda in the midfield.
These two main defensive midfielders of the Spanish national team have tough and sharp defenses, helping Ayala and Carvalho to filter out many opponents' attacks.
In fact, there are not many offenses that can really threaten Valencia in the end.
This is why Valencia concedes so few goals every season.
Victorious Valencia gave Rijkaard inspiration.
He feels that he can do the same, that is, find a pure midfielder with excellent defense to strengthen the team's defensive ability.
In this way, he found Edgar Davis.
※※※
After the winter break, Barcelona's performance recovered, which gave many Barcelona fans confidence.
It also gave confidence to their number one supporter, club president Laporta.
Laporta believes that although they failed to sign Ronaldinho, they can still prove him right by finding a Rijkaard.
An excellent head coach represents everything in the future of this team.
Although Chang Sheng is good, he refuses to come. Fortunately, they still have Rijkaard... Otherwise, I can't believe what Barcelona will do this season.
"...We don't have to envy Valencia, because we have Rijkaard!" Before the game between Barcelona and Valencia, Laporta cheered for the team and expressed his support for Rijkaard.
Rijkaard did not participate in the war of words before the game, he was concentrating on preparing for the league.
In the process of checking the Valencia game video repeatedly, Rijkaard suddenly saw a game video from last season.
Valencia vs Real Sociedad.
The core of the Real Sociedad organization is Harvey Alonso who plays the midfielder. How similar is this to Valencia today. Valencia's organizational core is Deco who plays the midfielder.
How did Valencia deal with Real Sociedad's Xabi Alonso? They mentioned Albelda and Baraja to the front midfielder position, and the unexpected arrangement has received miraculous results.
Real Sociedad never expected that Chang Sheng would let two defensive midfielders play the front midfielder, and just to freeze their organizational midfielder Harvey Alonso.
In that game, the young Alonso was completely lost under the defense of two fierce midfielders. In the end, his team lost to Valencia, and watched the opponent celebrate the victory at their home court.
The defensive midfielder is an organized midfielder that restrains the opponent.
The more Rijkaard thought about it, the more wonderful this adjustment became.
Last season, the entire Spanish football world was looking for a way to contain Valencia.
I didn't expect them to contribute this method by themselves!
If it was Rijkaard in the first half of the season, even if he knew this idea, he could only stare blankly, and could do nothing.
Because he doesn't have the right back.
Now he has. The ferocious Edgar Davis is about to turn 30 years old. It is at the best time of a player's career. Whether it is body, experience or awareness, Davis is the most suitable candidate.
Using him to contain Valencia's core Deco, I believe the effect will be good!
※※※
To be honest, Chang Sheng really didn't expect Rijkaard to use this trick against him.
When he saw Edgar Davis appearing in the frontcourt, directly targeting his core Deco, he understood what was going on.
Isn't this the trick I used to deal with Harvey Alonso?
The reporters in the media seats also saw that Davis' sudden move was a direct arrangement against Deco.
Under Davis' unreasonable defense and reloading, Deco looked a little embarrassed.
Except for the reporters from the Valencia region and China, all the other reporters were cheering.
"Finally found a tactic that can deal with Valencia!"
"From now on, we don't need to rely on referees to defeat Changsheng!"
"Look, I'll just say it, Valencia's tactics can't be perfect...they're bound to have holes!"
And journalists in the Madrid area began to worry about the winning team.
Facing a team like Barcelona, the tactical weaknesses have been thoroughly studied by the opponent. Even at home, Valencia may be in danger.
※※※
But when everyone was worrying about Chang Sheng, or gloating, Chang Sheng seemed very calm.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, he handed Ronaldinho to his side and taught him the opportunity face to face.
"Although you are placed in the forward position, I think you can also play the attacking midfielder and organize the offense. Now that Deco is frozen, if we want to attack, it is up to you! Go up and play the attacking midfielder, Take over possession of the ball."
Ronaldinho nodded excitedly - he was waiting for this kind of opportunity!
After he played, he conveyed the latest instructions to Deco for Changsheng.
Deco went from previous creator to a simple passer.
With the football at his feet, he just passes it out, no matter whether it is forward or backward, he himself does not control the ball too much, and he does not make all kinds of risky through balls.
In this way, Edgar Davis' close press on him was useless.
Because football doesn't stay at Deco's feet at all, he can't steal the ball even if he wants to.
And Edgar Davies' front line brought a fatal problem to Barcelona.
That is, when Ronaldinho becomes active, no one can defend Ronaldinho in the original midfielder position, and the opponent can play as he wants!
When the game restarted, everyone quickly saw the victorious arrangement-the time for Deco to control the ball was compressed, but Ronaldinho frequently raised his hand for the ball, signaling everyone to pass the football he.
Immediately after Barcelona didn't react, Ronaldinho sent several second passes in a row, almost assisting his teammates to score!
Only then did the entire Barcelona team realize that although the opponent's Deco was frozen, they still had Ronaldinho!
Although in Valencia, Ronaldinho played as a striker most of the time, but no one can forget that he played in the Brazilian national team and in Paris Saint-Germain, playing as a midfielder and an organizer!
Deco was frozen and they just passed the football to Ronaldinho and it was up to the Brazilian to make the decision.
After a long time, Valencia turned out to be...a dual-core configuration!
Deco is the core of the organization, and so is Ronaldinho!
It doesn't matter who does it, it's the same.
Even Ronaldinho may have done better than Deco!
Because he is closer to the opponent's goal.
With Ronaldinho so active, Valencia reversed the previous decline.
※※※
Rijkaard was taken aback when he saw this change on the field off the field-he didn't expect Valencia to be so understated and easily broke his own countermeasures. He originally thought that at least in the first half, his sudden move could prevent Valencia from scoring a single goal!
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...
It turns out that Valencia is the core of the two playmakers! You can trap one, but you can't trap the second...
The media seats in the stands were also in an uproar!
Everyone is discussing how to deal with Changsheng.
In fact, there is nothing unusual about Chang Sheng's coping method. It seems that there is nothing special about it. It just has two offensive playmakers...
It's just that Ronaldinho usually hides it very deeply and can't see it at all.
The media reporters in the Valencia area breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces again—we knew that the Chinese would not let us down!
The smiles on the faces of the reporters in Madrid and Catalonia froze.
Because they found out that Valencia is still unsolvable...
Even if you also learn from their defensive midfielder and freeze the opponent's organizational midfielder Deco, but they still have a midfielder and forward Ronaldinho!
You can guard against one, but you cannot guard against two.
If you can defend the front, you can't defend the back.
Either way, Valencia has a way to deal with it.
For a moment, these reporters felt a sense of despair...
