Chapter 263 The Young People of Stuttgart (77/136)

For any other team, playing Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row in three weeks can be a sour schedule.

Few teams have escaped unscathed.

But the ever-victorious Valencia not only escaped from it, but also achieved very brilliant results.

Three victories in three games, nine points and eight goals without conceding a goal.

Valencia's strength in La Liga can be seen.

After the game, some media said that it is no wonder that Changsheng has the confidence to focus on the Champions League, because today's La Liga is really not difficult for them.

Even Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can't threaten them. What else can threaten them in the domestic league?

In the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Valencia's opponent is Stuttgart.

The team finished second in the Bundesliga last season, as much as sixteen points behind league champions Bayern Munich.

This does not mean that Stuttgart is too weak.

But just because Bayern Munich is too strong.

This Stuttgart team has many names that Changsheng will be familiar with in the future.

For example, their main goalkeeper Hildebrand, he created a new Bundesliga record for consecutive clean sheets this season. With 884 minutes, he surpassed Kahn's original record of 803 minutes without conceding a goal. He has long been Stuttgart's main goalkeeper, and this season has driven Wiese to Kaiserslautern.

Their main center Kuranyi scored 15 goals last season, the most goals scored by a local player in the Bundesliga. He has been called up to the German national team by Wöhler, and he is another rising star.

In the future, the famous "Extraordinary King" Hleb is now the main midfielder of Stuttgart.

And Philipplum, the double captain of the German national team and Bayern Munich, is now also on loan in Stuttgart.

Their main defender is also Andres, who was promoted from the Stuttgart youth training camp. Hinkle is excellent both offensively and defensively. He only changed from avant-garde to right-back last season and is now also selected for the German national team of Voller. He is 21 years old. became a German player.

The young Stuttgart youth army led by Magath set off a youth storm in the Bundesliga and Europe.

Nicknamed "Little Tigers." They finished second in the league last season and performed very well in the Champions League group stage this season.

In the group stage, they defeated the mighty Manchester United 2:1 at home.

Moreover, Magath's Stuttgart did not perform well in the Champions League like other teams, and their performance in the league fluctuated.

Stuttgart's performance in the league is also very solid. At present, the Bundesliga has played 20 rounds. Stuttgart has 11 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. It ranks third with 39 points, only three points behind the second place Bayern Munich.

Such a team does seem to deserve more attention than Barcelona...,

First home and then away is not a good schedule in a home and away two-round knockout match like the Champions League.

Because they didn't have the chance to make up for their mistakes in the second leg home game.

There is only one way for them to advance, and that is to win as many games as possible in the first round.

So this game can be regarded as a one-off effort.

Well prepared for this match.

All the main players played, and targeted arrangements were made for Stuttgart's tactics.

Magath's Stuttgart is a youth guard. Their players are young and energetic, and their tactics are very impactful.

So they are also called "Little Tigers".

They set off a youth storm in the Bundesliga.

At present, it seems that this is the team that Changsheng is most afraid of encountering, because they are full of hard work, full of fighting spirit, and they are fast and have good physical fitness.

From the perspective of the outside world, today's Valencia should be in poor physical fitness.

Even if they beat Real Madrid and Barcelona with plenty of physical fitness, this does not prevent others from thinking that their physical fitness is close to exhaustion.

Their reason is very good, that is, the Champions League has a faster pace than the domestic league and has higher physical requirements. Valencia's physical fitness in the games against Real Madrid and Barcelona is just because they put the focus of physical distribution on the domestic league.

"...Because obviously, Real Madrid and Barcelona are more important than Stuttgart. It is not a good thing for Valencia to meet such two opponents in a row before the Champions League. But it is a good thing for Stuttgart. Valencia West Asia's physical fitness will inevitably encounter problems in the Champions League, and when it encounters our youth storm, that is when Valencia collapses!"

The German media is particularly confident, and it seems that Valencia is already a winner.

Even Magath thinks so. With so many injuries in Valencia this season, he doesn't believe that Valencia has not been affected.

But obviously, this is a mistake of not knowing the enemy deeply.

If they know enough about La Liga, Valencia and Changsheng enough, they will understand that consecutive encounters with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league are nothing at all!

It is quite easy for Valencia to win these two teams.

※※※

The German media believed that their Stuttgart "Little Tigers" could overwhelm Valencia with their youth and drive.

And Valencia naturally has a way to deal with their youth without limits.

Four days before the start of the game, that is, after the end of the league against Barcelona, ​​Chang Sheng told everyone at the beginning of the training what countermeasures they would have for this game.

"Facing aggressive opponents, we use ball control tactics. We firmly control the football at our feet, so that they cannot rush and run. In this way, their physical advantage is almost as good as ours. Nothing." Chang Sheng said to his players.

"So this game is no big deal, play according to our tactics, like any previous game. Remember, as long as we can control the football, then no matter who the opponent is, we can win!"

Valencia vs. Stuttgart, Chang Sheng's tactic is to control the ball.

Constantly passing the ball back and forth made Stuttgart unable to rush even if it wanted to. At that time, no matter how much strength Stuttgart has, it will be useless, you will not get the ball at all!

Of course, this game will not be very good, and it is estimated that the number of shots from both sides will not be too many, because the pace is slow, so the scene will not be exciting.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care so much. He is never responsible for the appetite and eyes of the audience.

He is only responsible for winning.

Although his team is playing the best-looking tactics in Europe, deep down, he is a very utilitarian person.

In order to win, he can do whatever it takes. What's wrong with being ugly?

※※※

When Stuttgart came to Valencia, they were full of confidence.

Magath's tactics are very simple, that is to try to score goals in the away game, the result is not important, as long as they score again. Use Stuttgart's impact to drag down Valencia and make them physically collapse. In this way, when waiting for the next round, Valencia is basically only the last straw.

At that time, what can't be done in Sranghat's own home court?

Magath has such confidence in his team. Because his team is the hardest-trained team in the Bundesliga, any player who can persevere will not be poor in physical fitness.

I heard that Valencia, which is always victorious, is also a team with a lot of training intensity in the middle of the night. But at present, the overall training level of Spain is not as good as that of Germany.

It is said that Valencia, who has practiced the hardest, is no more than that.

Magath's self-confidence continued until the game.

Then the game started and he saw that something wasn't right.

After the game started, Valencia kicked off, and then they used the kick-off opportunity to firmly control the football at their feet.

Just pass it back and forth, pass it back and forth...,

Stuttgart is really youthful and invincible. From the beginning, it ran like a dog chasing prey, chasing the constantly shifting football.

Wherever the football was passed, they chased it.

It's like being completely unaware of being tired.

Even if Valencia passed the ball back to the goalkeeper Canizares, they would chase it.

They thought it would put enough pressure on the Valencia players that they would make mistakes, like pass back to the goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper missed it...,

But unfortunately, they thought too beautifully.

After chasing like this for fifteen minutes, only two shots were completed. Most of the other time, they were led by the nose by Valencia.

Chang Sheng watched the Stuttgart players running so tirelessly from the sidelines, a sneer appeared on his face.

From the day Valencia came to the team, the main content of training has been two things, one is physical fitness, and the other is receiving passes.

Such training content has been the main part until now.

Plus his training skills.

Now the passing ability of these Valencia players has improved qualitatively compared to more than two seasons ago. Even the goalkeeper Canizares has a value of seventy-five.

Valencia's official training program "Monkey teasing" is different from the teasing monkeys of other teams. alone. From a small area to a large area, from one person to three people...,

There are all kinds of them, just to simulate various situations that may arise in the game.

Their training intensity standards may be more stringent than those in the competition.

So Chang Sheng is not worried about the pressure of Stuttgart at all.

This kind of pressing can only make the Stuttgart players feel tired quickly, and it is absolutely impossible to grab the ball from Valencia.

It's a good thing to be young and energetic, but if you just rush around like a headless chicken, it's not a good thing.

As long as I continue to pass like this, Stuttgart will reach a bottleneck in physical fitness before long. But no matter how energetic they were before.

The harder Stuttgart runs now, the worse his death will be. (To be continued
