"I know it’s a bit whimsical to do so, but since we are unbeaten in 29 rounds, why not work hard and strive for unbeaten in 38 rounds?"
The media in Valencia are keen to discuss the possibility of unbeaten this season.
Even the fans in Valencia have begun to pay attention to the possibility of unbeaten season. For a few days, almost the whole city of Valencia was discussing the possibility of winning the championship unbeaten in the season.
Even within the Valencia club, there is no such discussion.
"unbeaten season? I don’t want to put too much pressure on Chang, but if it can be realized, it must be the most wonderful moment for me as chairman. " Jaime Oti, president of Valencia Club, said the same thing in an interview.
……
However, the excited vision of Valencia people, when it falls into the eyes of the media in other places, makes people laugh.
"In the history of La Liga, only two teams have ever won the championship with unbeaten record, but that happened in the’ ancient times of football’ in the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1929-1930 season, Athletic Bilbao won the championship with unbeaten record. However, there were only 18 rounds in La Liga at that time, and the result of Athletic Bilbao was 12 wins and 6 draws. In the 1931-1932 season, Real Madrid won the championship unbeaten with ten wins and eight draws. When Real Madrid won the championship unbeaten, it has been 70 years since then! For 70 years, there has been no unbeaten championship in the season. What does it mean? Explain that today’s football has become an impossible task in itself! Valencia wants to win the championship undefeated? They are really crazy! I really think I can win the league championship, and I’m beginning to dream more … What is an upstart? This is called the nouveau riche! "
"Although both Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid have created unbeaten records to win the championship, the record of the 18th round league tournament is really not difficult … In today’s increasingly fierce competition, no team can win the championship with unbeaten records. The closest to this achievement was the Royal Society in the 1979-1980 season, in which they almost won the league unbeaten. However, they lost to Seville 1-2 away in the penultimate round, and their unbeaten season broke. In the end, he won the runner-up by four points … At that time, the royal society was the most brilliant, and they were not able to complete this achievement, let alone Valencia today. "
"Now it is very difficult to be unbeaten in the season. In the mainstream leagues in Europe, only two teams have won the championship with unbeaten record. Among the five major leagues, only AC Milan has ever done it, and they won the championship undefeated in 1991-1992. In Portugal, Benfica won the championship undefeated in 1972-1973. This shows how difficult it is to win the championship unbeaten in the season … I think the idea of winning the championship unbeaten in Valencia media is stupid, because it will bring great psychological pressure to the players. Maybe there will be a losing streak in the end, and even the league champion can’t be saved? "
"It is possible to win the championship unbeaten, because they will win the championship ahead of time. But it is difficult to be unbeaten in the season. Valencia will definitely relax after winning the championship in advance, and the players will be unable to concentrate on the game because they have lost their motivation and fighting spirit. So it’s hard to be unbeaten … "
"The Valencia media are obviously overwhelmed with joy. They can’t find the North … This is a very dangerous signal. You know, they are going to play Inter Milan in the middle of the week. It is an important game, but they are thinking about what season is unbeaten. It is ridiculous! "
"The funniest joke of the season, Valencia actually wants to be unbeaten! Hahahaha! "
Various media, especially those in Madrid, quoted classics to ridicule and criticize Valencia’s whimsy.
What these media say seems reasonable, because the UEFA Cup is in the middle of the week, and the media in Valencia are keen to discuss the topic of winning the championship unbeaten in the season, instead of considering the UEFA Cup with Inter Milan.
But in fact, the discussion is more about the media. Although the players have also discussed it, the head coach is the one who controls the team.
Changsheng didn’t participate in this big discussion, he was preparing for Inter Milan with peace of mind. He can’t control the media, what they can say and what they can’t say, and he can’t control the president of the club, so let him stay out of it.
The only thing he can do is to manage the team well and let the players not focus on unbeaten season.
To tell the truth, he is really not in the mood to think about unbeaten season or anything.
Let’s deal with our immediate opponent first.
On March 14th, Valencia played against Inter Milan at home, which was a UEFA Cup quarter-final.
This is also a direct dialogue between the two Valencia coaches.
Changsheng is the current head coach of Valencia, and Cooper is the former coach of Valencia.
Valencia is far ahead in the league and is expected to win the championship ahead of schedule.
And Inter Milan, led by Cooper, is also competing for the league title, and it seems that there is great hope.
The encounter between these two teams is not as bitter as some people think.
Cooper’s departure from Valencia has long been decided. He led Valencia to the Champions League finals twice and is still Valencia’s best result.
This kind of performance has made Valencia fans always have feelings for Cooper.
Therefore, this game is not a gunpowder smell at all.
Changsheng didn’t provoke Cooper before the game. As a successor, taking the initiative to provoke his predecessor can only show that he is not open-minded enough.
After Benitez coached Inter Milan, what he did to erase all traces of Mourinho could only make people laugh at him, but could not help him master the team.
A lesson from the past, Changsheng doesn’t want to be an idiot.
After all, I haven’t led the team to prove myself in the Champions League. It is really unwise to provoke a coach who has led the team to the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons.
Chapter one hundred and thirty-four Accidents that are no longer under control
Just because Chang Sheng keeps a low profile before the game doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to win the game.
He made full preparations for the Inter Milan game.
In view of Inter Milan’s tactics, he made some adjustments to the mad dog tactics. In terms of personnel, most of the players who rested in the last league game also returned to the starting lineup.
Valencia sent their strongest team to face Inter Milan led by Cooper at home.
At this time, the Inter Milan team is as strong as a cloud. Although it has not got rid of the bad comments of the "star black hole", it is still higher than Valencia in terms of player strength.
But Changsheng still has the confidence to beat Inter Milan at home.
Because it’s not the stars that decide the outcome of a football match, but the whole.
……
Changsheng thinks that his whole is better than the stars of Inter Milan.
But just after the game started, the stars of Inter Milan gave him a blow.
In the ninth minute, Vieri, a powerful center, pushed Ayala, who was defending him, in the restricted area and shot the football into Valencia’s goal …
Ayala tried hard to defend, but in physical confrontation, he was too poor and was easily blocked by Vieri and scored.
Seeing this scene, Changsheng’s mouth twitched.
He considered almost everything he could, but he really couldn’t control the individual play of the opposing players …
Who would have thought Vieri was in such a good state in this game?
I scored just at the beginning!
After the goal, Vieri waved his arms and roared, and his chest muscles and abdominal muscles were highlighted on his jersey, making people grin-this is a powerful center!
Can tactics control everything?
The tactics that always win against Vieri have failed.
But his central defender is still too weak, and he lost his position when he was squeezed by Vieri.
It’s all about the players’ personal strength, and he can’t really help at this point …
……
After Vieri scored, Valencia launched a counterattack.
And in the 30th minute Vicente scored an equaliser goal.
Although the Valencia fans showed kindness and welcome home to Cooper before the game started, they quickly entered the role of Valencia fans after the game started.
When Vieri scored, Mestalla was quiet.
When Vicente scored, huge cheers quickly spread over the Mestalla Stadium.
This time, Cooper frowned.
Last season, when Cooper was the head coach of Valencia, Vicente was the main force. He scored five goals in the league.
