Chapter 272 Can Participate in the Competition (Eighty/One Hundred Thirty-Six)

Although Chang Sheng had doubts about Guinelle's level and work ethic, Vicente eventually went to Guinelle's side.

Because on the team, no one is more professional in this area than Ginel.

To Chang Sheng's surprise, Guinelle did not shirk or muddle through. When Vicente told him his feelings, he listened with a frown, and then began a detailed inspection.

This made Chang Sheng, who thought that Ginelle would be a moth, a little embarrassed, and felt that he seemed to have wronged others.

After a careful inspection, Guinelle told Vicente and Chang Sheng that Vicente had no major problems, but that he was a little overtired and that he needed to rest.

The most important thing is not to delay the midweek Champions League game.

This is what Chang Sheng wants to hear most.

If Vicente can't play, then I have to let Reyes play on the right wing, and then put Mista on the right wing position-because Angulo is injured and cannot participate in the game ——But this is definitely not Valencia's strongest configuration. If you use this configuration to play Milan, it is really hard for Chang Sheng to say whether he can retreat from the away game.

Although he shouted for revenge, he also knew that Milan was not that easy to deal with. If he didn't go all out, he might die a miserable death.

Now Vicente can participate in the midweek match against Milan, which made Chang Sheng heave a sigh of relief.

Since the player was fine, Chang Sheng took Vicente to leave.

On the way back to the training ground, Vicente looked very happy.

When he was undergoing the physical examination, he was also most worried about something wrong with him. If he could not participate in the mid-week Champions League match, it might affect his status in the team.

Now he doesn't have this worry, he only thinks about how to impress Chang Sheng in the game and strive for a stable starting position.

It doesn't matter to him whether he plays left wing or right wing.

Because the cruel reality left him no choice at all. A season ago, when Chang Sheng wanted him to try to play on the right side more, he didn't take it seriously. He feels that he plays better on the left, so as long as he plays well, he can always occupy the position of the main left winger. On the contrary, Reyes is very active to develop on the right wing.

At that time, Vicente believed that no one could threaten his position in Valencia.

But who would have thought, in a blink of an eye, Ronaldinho came.

In a blink of an eye, I was injured!

This time... Ronaldinho, who was originally a right winger, officially moved to the left wing, and left as soon as he came.

Even if he recovers from injury, he can only be a substitute.

Vicente hopes this time will be his chance.

Chang Sheng saw Vicente's expression and knew what he was happy about.

But he said nothing.

This kind of thing is the "healthy competition" that he likes to see happen. He hopes to see this kind of competition, Vicente and Ronaldinho, whoever is in good form will win, if it wasn't for Vicente's injury at the beginning of the league, Ronaldinho's state During the ups and downs, I'm afraid Vicente will be the main force.

what a pity……

This is life.

He glanced at Vicente who was walking beside him.

The Spanish winger can also be regarded as ill-fated. Now that it's time for him to come, although he has won one more league championship and two King's Cup championships, it has also brought his injury earlier... I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The game against Milan is still two days away, but the media hype has already begun.

In addition to the game itself, there are many gimmicks worth discussing and hyping in the media.

For example, the war of words between the Valencia coach and the Milan club chairman Silvio Berlusconi.

When the results of the lottery were just released, the two of them once had the experience of shouting and fighting against each other.

Now as the game is approaching, Berlusconi can't sit still.

He jumped out and took the initiative to provoke.

"This is our home ground and I firmly believe that we can win here. The Chinese team will know why we are the giants and they are not!"

"Valencia is a team that can bring us luck. Last season Milan knocked them out in the quarter-finals and we became champions. This season we meet again in the quarter-finals , I think they will still bring us good luck."

Berlusconi is a notoriously big mouth, whether in politics or football.

So it was no surprise that the words came out of his mouth.

When Chang Sheng came down from the airport, he heard Berlusconi's words relayed by reporters at the airport. Then he laughed.

"Then I wish Mr. Berlusconi good luck."

He shrugged and didn't intend to say anything more.

What matters now is the game, not the war of words with Berlusconi.

Chang Sheng and Valencia are no strangers to the San Siro Stadium. They had bad memories here last season.

This time, the whole team is full of fighting spirit and wants to take revenge here.

All went well for the thirty minutes of the game. Although Valencia didn't score, Milan didn't score either.

Chang Sheng used his mad dog tactics that are already familiar to the whole of Europe.

Ancelotti responded with a defensive counterattack, and Milan's defensive counterattack was quite threatening. Especially with Shevchenko and Kaka in their formation. Kaka's speed, dribbling, long-range shooting and impact are the most useful in defensive counterattacks.

Why didn't Chang Sheng consider buying Kaka when he first coached Valencia? Even if he really wanted to buy it at that time, he should be able to win it. Just because he thinks that Kaka's technical style is not suitable for his new tactics. If he still plays defensive counterattack in Valencia, then he will definitely not let Kaka go.

But playing positional warfare and playing ball control tactics, Kaka is useless. This is very obvious in Real Madrid. Because of a groin injury, Kaka lost the speed and impact he was famous for. He began to try to transform, taking the path of a pass-and-control midfielder, but he was completely unable to compete with Ozil in this regard. Because his technical characteristics have been finalized for a long time. His muscle type determines that he can't walk delicately. Big discount.

So Chang Sheng ignored Kaka, let him follow the inertia of history, and went to Milan.

Now, they are rivals.

In this game, Changsheng also made corresponding arrangements for Milan's defensive counterattack tactics.

For example, the pressing in the midfield and the quick return to defense.

When the team loses the ball, the frontcourt players are responsible for surrounding the opponent's player with the ball, so that the opponent cannot directly send the football up.

At the same time, the defensive players in the midfield quickly retreated and returned to their defense zone.

Although this will make the front and rear courts disconnected, what does it matter?

Anyway, the opponent's defensive counterattack is actually an offensive tactic that is out of touch with the front and rear. The backcourt directly passes the football to the frontcourt and quickly passes through the midfield, without entanglement with the defensive side in the midfield at all.

Therefore, it does not matter to give up the defense of the midfield. Because even if you deploy heavy troops in the midfield, it is useless. If the opponent does not entangle you, putting heavy troops in the midfield will become a dangerous move to waste troops.

But now with such an arrangement, Valencia quickly returned to defense. When Milan's offense hit the frontcourt, they couldn't directly face Valencia's goal, and they couldn't even face Valencia's defense directly. Two full-time defensive midfielders were already in the back line. The first line of defense was built ahead.

Then... the defensive counterattack was reduced to positional warfare.

As for positional warfare, Valencia has nothing to worry about.

The two sides confronted each other for thirty minutes, and it seemed that no one could do anything to the other.

The commentator on Spanish TV said that if Valencia can take away one point from San Siro, it will be considered a success.

In this way, in the second round at the Mestalla Stadium, Valencia has a high chance of eliminating the defending champion.

Chang Sheng is also satisfied with this situation.

Playing home games first and playing away games later is an unfavorable schedule. I couldn't score a goal at home for a long time, and the opponent was still a draw. In this way, the pressure will only be on the home team Milan. Keep 0:0 in the first half, make sure not to concede the ball, and then make a fatal blow in the second half. At that time, no matter how good Milan is, it will be impossible to recover.

Vicente was very active in this game. For him, this is a rare opportunity. Before the game, he almost lost the qualification to play. Fortunately, Guinelle's examination proved that there is no problem with his body.

With a mentality of finding something lost, he worked extra hard, hoping to seize this opportunity to prove to Chang Sheng that he is no worse than Ronaldinho.

He not only rushed back and forth on the left, but also switched positions with Reyes and harassed Maldini on the right.

Although his small skills are not as good as Ronaldinho's, he is faster, more impactful and more direct.

The task given to Vicente by winning this game is to use his speed to hit the two "old" defenders, Cafu or Maldini. Cafu is 32 years old, and Maldini is older. He was born in 1968 He turned 30 at the 1998 World Cup in France and is now almost 34.

These two full-backs are experienced, with outstanding skills and awareness. These are their advantages and the reason why they can still maintain a high level in European football.

But one thing no matter how much experience they have can't make up for, it's their bodies.

Especially speed.

Young Cafu and Maldini are not slow players. But now the turning speed of both of them can't keep up with the requirement.

So winning this game requires Vicente and Reyes to give full play to their speed characteristics and continue to attack the two full-backs until they are overwhelmed.

This tactical requirement is very in line with Vicente's temper, he likes to go straight like this.

So from the beginning of the game, he was very active on his side, and even once suppressed the assist of the Brazilian right back Cafu.

The narrator of the Spanish TV station was also very proud, shouting again and again: "Let me show you the Spanish wingers! Vicente will definitely become the top winger in Europe! The era of Vicente has begun!"
