Chapter 7 Cracks
The Champions League final is on May 5. Before that, Valencia still has two La Liga games to play, which are also the last two rounds of the league.

If they win both the away game against Celta Vigo and the home game against Zaragoza, the team can surpass Barcelona in points and occupy the second place.After Barcelona's disastrous defeat to Valencia, the league also lost points.

Before the Champions League final, Jiangshan was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.

Find video materials, edit them into videos, and also provide data analysis and tactical explanations.If he hadn't done it in his previous life, just watching Real Madrid's game video would be enough. He is making the final effort. Whether the team can successfully defeat Real Madrid depends on the final battle.

At the same time, his university courses are getting tighter and tighter. From time to time, well-known coaches come to give speeches, and even the top executives of the team are invited to give lectures. Jiang Shan also does not want to miss it.

Systematic learning has helped him a lot, just like studying at the University of Liverpool in his previous life.If he didn't have a resume for advanced studies at Liverpool University, he wouldn't even be able to become a coach in China.After all, the domestic football circle is not big, and it is not easy to become a head coach, especially since he has no background.

After Jiang Shan listened to Bosque's report at the university, he had a deeper understanding of Real Madrid's tactical philosophy. He went back that night and made changes to the edited video, staying up all night.

He concluded from the information accidentally disclosed by Bosque that Real Madrid will use the 532 formation in the Champions League final.This formation is the same as in the previous life, but it almost became a 352 play in the game. Carlos and Salgado used the two full-backs as wingers. They are unstoppable. This is a 442 formation that can restrain Valencia.

Football tactics continue to develop, and the 442 formation is both offensive and defensive. It has been relatively perfect and occupies the mainstream.But 352 can restrain him, strengthen the control of the midfield, and there is also a central defender who is responsible for the ball, and has certain advantages in the face of the 442 formation.

It is impossible to change Warren's 442 style of play now. Cooper is used to seeking stability in key games. He is not bold enough, and changing formations temporarily may not necessarily succeed.

Jiangshan has considered for a long time that 442 can also beat 352, but the two wingers need a strong and continuous impact ability, constantly attacking the ribs, and hitting behind the opponent's left and right central defenders.

The team's current wingers Mendieta and Gonzalez are very strong, but Mendieta will definitely be taken care of, and facing Carlos, he does not have much advantage in speed and technology.Jiang Shan still clearly remembers that Mendieta was almost invisible in this year's Champions League final.

Herald can play as a winger. His ability to dribble and pass threats is no worse than Mendieta. It is better to contain Carlos, and the key is to release Mendieta.The question is whether Cooper dares to put the team's attacking midfielder on the winger position, and then let Mendieta, the winger, play the midfielder position.

Cooper's 442, the midfielder's diamond position, the midfielder is Lopez, the midfielder is Farinos, Mendieta and Gonzalez are separated on both sides, and they have hardly changed.Bosque has strong coaching ability and will definitely make targeted deployments.

Jiang Shan kept searching in his mind. The 2000 Champions League final was a classic game. He had watched it several times. Looking back now, Carlos played a vital role in Real Madrid's win.

Real Madrid's first two goals, one came from Carlos' long-range shot, and Morientes succeeded in grabbing the point; the other came from Carlos' sideline kick, he threw the ball directly into the penalty area, and after being blocked, the Real Madrid player took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

Jiang Shan changed the video and submitted it again, and a heated discussion broke out with Cooper the next day.

"Real Madrid will also be concerned about Mendieta's power on the wing. Carlos can't press too deep." Cooper is full of confidence.

He has reasons for self-confidence. This season, the league played two rounds against Real Madrid, and Valencia won one and drew one.First, they beat Real Madrid 3:2 in the away game, and the two sides drew 1:1 at home. Valencia did not fall behind.

Therefore, Jiang Shan's opinion made Cooper very dissatisfied. He felt that the final should be more rigorous, and it would be better to follow the familiar routine.

Jiang Shan nodded and didn't continue talking.He is not the head coach, he is Cooper's assistant at best, but he is just a part-time scout at worst.In the game against Celta, Cooper allowed the old full-back to plug in, which has already given Jiangshan enough face.

But the effect was good, and the full-back Angloma seized the only chance.The team won 1:0.

After the game, the players all claimed the credit for the country, and Cooper's depression can be imagined.Now that Jiangshan wants to play some new routines, Cooper is not happy. The game against Celta Vigo is irrelevant. No matter how you try the formation, the Champions League final is different. If you change the way of play randomly, the team may not adapt.

If you lose the game, it is Cooper who is criticized, not Jiangshan.Cooper chose to play it safe.Cooper must have never imagined that in his previous life, he reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, and then failed for two years, and was dubbed the "second-milk life" coach by the media.

Jiang Shan came out of Cooper's office and smacked his lips, "It would be great if I were the head coach. No one dares to say anything about the formation."

It's a pity that he is nothing now, he can only stare blankly.And he found that Cooper and him had already had a rift, and it was difficult to recover.Jiang Shan wants to be a coach and has great ambitions, and Cooper will never allow power to be dispersed. It is only a matter of time before he leaves.

Jiang Shan feels very uncomfortable these days, a little tired, and plans to go to the bar to find a big horse to vent his anger and relieve his depression.

Yesterday at the school, Hope, the chairman of Hoffenheim, Germany, came to give a speech. He argued endlessly with Hope. Jiangshan believed that football capital would be in charge in the future, but Hope held the opposite opinion, because his team has been promoted again and again.

Now he is arguing with Cooper again, feeling aggrieved.However, he still struggled to win Real Madrid and create a different history.

Jiang Shan became ruthless, "Since the coach can't make sense, the players can always talk quietly, right?" He decided to start with the players and try his own ideas.

Who made him have a good relationship with the players, and the players trust him?Who let him know the result of the competition in the previous life?
Soon, the 38th round of La Liga will be held, and the team has the last chance to adjust.

Valencia hosts fourth-placed Zaragoza at home.Cooper is still cautious and plays with all the main players. He wants No.2 in the league.

Jiang Shan has been promoted to Cooper's side, has a seat, and looks like a teaching assistant.The media's cameras swept across, and a yellow-skinned face appeared on the TV cameras, and countless viewers were very surprised.

Knowing that the camera was shooting, Cooper immediately turned his head and pointed Jiang Shandao, "You pay attention to my command, we will definitely win."

Jiang Shan nodded with a smile, and didn't flick his face.

Not long after the opening, Cooper appeared on the sidelines and kept directing the team. The team's offense was wave after wave, with great momentum.However, Mendieta's offense was frequently blocked, and it was difficult to open up space on the wing. Angulo immediately responded and crossed into the penalty area. Angulo's header went wide.

Cooper quickly ordered Anglomar to retreat and defend.

Near the end of halftime, the team still failed to break the deadlock.At this time, something unexpected happened to Cooper.Mendieta took the initiative to retract, and Herradura played the role of winger.

The team showed a completely different rhythm. This sudden change instantly tore apart Zaragoza's defense.

Herald passed back, Mendieta responded in the middle, took a step, sent a through ball, Lopez inserted obliquely, and shot without stopping.changed the score.After the goal, Lopez pointed to the stands, as if he was thanking the audience, and he seemed to be saying hello to Jiangshan.

Cooper's face was ugly. He didn't have such an arrangement before the game. Could it be Jiang Shan's fault?But it's a good thing that the team scored goals, and he didn't have an attack.

He just took it as a player's idea. Mendieta is a free agent in Cooper's system, and it is normal to pass the ball inside. Jiangshan should not have such a big influence.

It's just the final through pass, which he never arranged. Is it really the player's brainstorm?
