Chapter 262 La Liga No. 1 Pole
Rijkaard thought about it, and finally decided to give up marking Deco and let Edgar Davis go back to defend Ronaldinho.
When Chang Sheng saw this change, he laughed.
When Rijkaard decided to freeze Deco with Edgar Davies, the initiative in this game actually fell into the hands of Valencia.
He has nothing to fear.
He also made adjustments quickly.
He allowed Ronaldinho to return to his left winger position and be a qualified left winger.
The command of the game was handed over to Deco again.
Deco recovered from his previous silence and became active again.
Ask for the ball frequently, get the ball, and keep moving.
Then send the pass.
His passing is not as amazing as Ronaldinho's, his movements are not fancy, and there is almost no viewing at all.
But very useful.
In the process of his constant passing and running, Valencia's offense became smoother and smoother, and he was like a lubricant.
In addition, the three forwards in the frontcourt kept changing positions back and forth, which made Barcelona's defenders hard to guard against.
Davis is a defensive midfielder. Now he has to defend Ronaldinho, who is playing a left winger. Not to mention that he has to squeeze the position of the defender, and it will also cause a dangerous gap in front of the central defender.
At this time, Deco resolutely moved forward, appeared outside the opponent's big penalty area, and either sent a through ball, or took a long shot himself!
The Barcelona defense line that played was jittery.
Rijkaard saw that it would not work to continue playing like this, maybe at the end of the first half of the game. His own team has collapsed.
So taking advantage of a dead ball, he quickly made another adjustment.
Edgar Davis still went back to contain Deco's play. As for Ronaldinho, Rijkaard handed it over to Puyol.
Such an adjustment seems to have plugged all the loopholes.
But Puyol is a central defender, but Ronaldinho has now turned into a midfielder. He frequently runs outside the penalty area, with flexible positions and a wide range of activities.
Let the central defender Puyol simply can't keep up.
If Puyol must keep up, there will be loopholes in Barcelona's defense.
In order to make up for this loophole. Everyone else has to move. Then there are more loopholes.
This is what is meant by the so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body.
This practice of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall is obviously not a long-term solution.
The Barcelona players themselves felt awkward playing.
So before the end of the first half, it is not surprising that they conceded another goal.
※※※
"David Villa! He appeared where he should appear! Then everything was logical! Valencia took a two-goal lead in the 42nd minute!"
Only the Valencia fans cheered in the Mestalla Stadium, and the Barcelona fans had completely turned off.
Within two weeks, Real Madrid and Barcelona duo, let Valencia fans burst with confidence.
They chanted the slogan "We will be champions".
Listening to such shouts, the Barcelona chairman Laporta sitting on the rostrum had a bad face.
But there was a man with an even uglier complexion than him.
This person is Juan Soler, the chairman of the Valencia club sitting next to him.
But Sorel kept his head down. So no one can see the ferocious expression on his face.
He is the one who hopes that Chang Sheng will get nothing this season...
How did things become like this?
Why was Valencia able to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league and hold the top of the league?
Although he is the chairman of the Valencia club, he does not want Valencia to win any championships now. Because he knew very well that none of these championships would be considered his own achievements, and there was a high probability that they would become personal medals of honor for constant victories. Every time there is an additional champion, the difficulty of not renewing the contract with Chang Sheng will increase by one point.
The so-called master of high power. This is the case with Chang Sheng now. His reputation among fans, media and players is too great, which has downplayed the existence of the club chairman. This is not normal in Spain, this is not England, where even a long-term manager should not be more famous than the club president.
it's here. It's the club president who has the final say.
No matter how many championships you, a head coach, help the team win, you only need to mess with the chairman. Still fired you.
The media reported that the focus of a team is also on the club chairman, not on the head coach.
The head coach looks more like a wage earner. It is best to bury your head in obscurity and do your own thing well, and don't need to worry about anything else.
But in Valencia, this situation was completely reversed. When people mention Valencia, they often talk about winning. But as the new chairman of the club, his sense of presence is frighteningly low. In the Valencia team, it is not me or the club manager Sanchez who has the final say, but the head coach Chang Sheng. In terms of external image, what people mention most is Chang Sheng, not himself.
As the president of the club, Otti may be able to bear it. But Sorel couldn't bear it.
Becoming the chairman of the Valencia Club is his dream, and he did not become the chairman of the club for the sake of being unknown behind the scenes. He wants to become the most successful term in the history of the Valencia Club as the "Chairman of the Valencia Club"!
Look at Santiago Bernabeu, look at Gamper, the most successful club presidents among these giants, how many are unknown?
Soler dreams of one day having a cup competition named after him, just as Real Madrid have the Bernabéu and Barcelona have the Gamper Cup. One day, Valencia may have a "Soller Cup".
He doesn't want this event to be called the "Eternal Victory Cup" in a few years' time.
So it is not to say that the more honors each head coach has won in the club, the more stable his position will be.
For those narrow-minded club presidents, the better the head coach's ability and the better the results, the more uneasy he will be, and he has to deal with it quickly.
Chang Sheng's coaching career in Valencia is not without glory, but this is also the fundamental reason for him to leave Valencia.
But here comes the contradiction.
If Chang Sheng can still lead the team to the championship this season, then why do I not renew his contract and fulfill the remaining one-year contract?
Although his own reason is very good, but this reason cannot be said to the outside world, he needs an excuse to the outside world.
It is impossible for him to tell the outside world that he is jealous of Chang Sheng's achievements, and he is worried that the other party's reputation will overwhelm him, so he should be fired, right?
Although everyone is aware of the reason, it still won't work if you just say it yourself.
This will make you appear to be a small-minded person, which is not good for your own image.
A head coach who was able to win the championship was dismissed by himself inexplicably. Will those capable head coaches dare to come to Valencia to coach in the future?
Sorel cannot think of these.
And the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
He began to hope that Valencia had nothing to lose this season, so that he would have a reason to fire Chang Sheng.
He doesn't care about the team so there isn't a single championship. Anyway, as long as they can qualify for the Champions League next season, it will be considered a success. He is the chairman of the club. He doesn't just stay in the club for one or two years. He has plenty of time. It doesn't matter if he doesn't win the championship in one season. As long as he can drive away Chang Sheng and build the team according to his own ideas, he firmly believes Champions are indispensable.
At that time, I will become the most successful and greatest chairman in the history of the Valencia club because of countless championships!

Barcelona had some counterattacks in the second half, but facing Valencia's strict tactics, they didn't have any good solutions.
Offensively, they were unable to break through Valencia's goal, and they faced wave after wave of Valencia's offensive in defense.
Barcelona have never played so helplessly.
They couldn't exert their strength.
After Valencia scored another goal in the second half, the suspense of this game was completely over.
Then Chang Sheng began to change people, replacing three people at the same time in one breath.
He started to save energy for the midweek Champions League game.
For a team like Barcelona, the way to always win is naked humiliation!
Because in the past, only they used this kind of thing on other teams, and no one else has ever used it on them...
In the game against Barcelona, who dares to start to stay strong before the game is over?
It seems that if they are like this, they can already beat Barcelona.
Even Real Madrid dare not!
But Chang Sheng did it!
A look that doesn't take Barcelona up and down at all...
Barcelona can't even match Stuttgart.
Since when has it fallen to such a level?
What makes Barcelona fans even more dissatisfied is not Chang Sheng's move to replace three people in advance, but Barcelona's reaction to the humiliation-they did not work hard to catch up and give the arrogant Varen West Asia learned a lesson, but chose to remain silent!
Yes, just kept silent, silently accepted the fate of failure and the humiliation of the opponent.
"When Laporta came to power, he promised to restore glory to Barcelona. He said that he could no longer shame the century-old giants and end the days when anyone could laugh at Barcelona. But now it seems...he still has a long way to go. It's a long way to go..."
Moen finally said so.
Then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Valencia beat Barcelona 3-0 at home.
Completed a double play against another giant.
When Soler was still dreaming of making Valencia the third pole of La Liga, Valencia has truly become the third pole of La Liga under the leadership of Chang Sheng!
No... Maybe it's already the first pole, so it's not necessarily true?
