Star Coach

In the following days, Jiang Shan had a full schedule.

I was taking classes and working as a data analyst at the same time, constantly traveling between the two places, and living a very fulfilling life. When he explains the opponent's tactics to the players, he often brings private goods and integrates his own ideas into data analysis.

As the team continues to win, the atmosphere in the team is very good, and Cooper doesn't mind if Jiangshan brings in private goods. In the league, they are only 2 points behind Barcelona, ​​surpassing Zaragoza and seizing third place. They are even expected to complete the counterattack and become second place.

The players' recognition of Jiangshan is getting higher and higher, especially the young people in the team, who really like Jiangshan's philosophy and have a very close relationship with him. After all, the players don't think much, and the team keeps winning, so they think Jiangshan deserves a lot of credit.

Several aces of the team also have a high degree of recognition of Jiangshan and are very cooperative with his work. Herard and Lopez even thanked Jiangshan in front of the reporters and talked about the team's new ace, which made the reporters stunned for a while.

With the support of the team members, Jiangshan's work can be carried out very well. He also often asked Cooper for advice and learned a lot of coaching tricks.

In the Champions League semi-finals, Jiangshan made a detailed analysis of Barcelona's tactical characteristics and personnel composition, and proposed to reuse "Little Bug" Lopez and use his dribbling and impact to disrupt Barcelona's defense. Cooper readily agreed.

In the first game at Valencia's home court, the two sides staged a vigorous battle. All the goals were scored by Valencia players. Mendieta scored 2 goals, and Angulo, Lopez and Allegrino each scored 1. Ball, Herrard was the icing on the cake.

Valencia beat Barcelona 5:1. Yes, Allegrino scored an own goal, otherwise Barcelona would have swallowed the egg.

Van Gaal couldn't believe after the game that the team had lost so miserably? Look at the players under him, they are more star-studded than Valencia.

Figo has not yet become a pig head, Rivaldo and Kluivert are both top players; the midfielder also has the combination of Cocu, Guardiola and Enrique, and the young Xavi can only sit on the bench and wait. Chance.

Guardiola is a veteran and the captain of the team, but he was beaten so hard by Lopez on the field that he couldn't defend himself!

After the first leg, Valencia has already secured the Champions League final. The players' recognition of Jiangshan has reached a new level. Cooper curled his lips handsomely. The players were grateful after the game. He felt a little uncomfortable, but winning came first.

Everyone on the team was extremely excited, but only one person was unhappy, the original video editor Kasaka. He asked Cooper to let Jiangshan give him the video to study, but Cooper did not agree out of confidentiality plan and respect for the main creator, and let him wait until the end of the season.

After Kasaka was rejected by Cooper, he became even more resentful. "Isn't he the head coach that Cortez is looking for? What's so great about it." He decided to complain to Soller Jr., the majority shareholder. Your son.

Most of the shares of Valencia Club are controlled by Roig and Soler. They are the team's major shareholders. They control more than 60% of the shares. The rest are scattered in the hands of small shareholders, tens of thousands of small shareholders. Shareholders are almost all former members.

The current chairman Cortez is deeply supported by small shareholders, but neither Roig nor Soler like him. They can tolerate it because he is not the opponent's person and the team's performance is good.

When Kasaka came out of Soler's office, he was in a good mood. He seemed to have seen Jiangshan's fate.

He decided to reward himself with a meal at La Ruia restaurant in the city center. "I will attack after the Champions League final and cut off Cooper's wings. I can bear it, I can bear it."

As soon as Kasaka arrived at the restaurant, he saw several acquaintances walking in. He quickly hid aside and stared at the visitors, surprised and secretly delighted. The Mendieta couple hosted a banquet for Jiangshan, which was completely beyond Kasaka's expectation. He did not expect that Jiangshan had such a good relationship with the players.

"Isn't this giving me another chance? Colluding with the players? He must be trying to usurp the throne."

Jiang Shan greeted Mendieta and his wife and walked straight over. Mendieta's wife is called Carmina Aguilar. She is young now and has a great figure. No wonder Mendieta likes her.

"Hello, Mr. Jiangshan." Mendieta said hello first and introduced the two of them to each other. He has scored 14 goals in the league this season, setting a career high and is very proud of himself.

"Hello," Jiang Shan has been in high spirits recently. In addition to having a little credit for the team's good record, it's also because he became the center of attention in the classroom.

Yesterday, he discussed the tactics commonly used by teams such as Valencia and Real Madrid with the famous coach Sacchi who came to give a speech. Sacchi was full of praise for his ideas and attracted the attention of all the students.

"Kamina, although I am the team's data analyst, I am also Mr. Cooper's assistant, so I am going to arrange a difficult task for you." Jiang Shan took a few mouthfuls of paella and talked eloquently, "Take care of it. Mendieta. I think he will be the European Ballon d'Or winner this year, ahead of Figo and Zidane. You are looking after the European Ballon d'Or winner."

The 2000 European Ballon d'Or originally belonged to Figo, with Zidane and Shevchenko ranked second and third. In the selection of World Footballer, Zidane, who led the team to win the European Cup, won the highest honor.

Now the situation has changed. In the direct confrontation between Figo and Mendieta, he lost all face. Mendieta also scored more goals and assists than Jiangshan in his previous life, and received higher evaluations.

In the last life, Mendieta scored 13 goals throughout the season and 5 goals in the Champions League. Now both indicators can be exceeded.

Mendieta and his wife were stunned at the same time, and then laughed heartily, "If you want to compete for personal honors, the most important thing is to win the Champions League. Otherwise it is impossible. Valencia's platform cannot be compared with Barcelona and Juventus."

"Why not? As long as we don't lose to Barcelona by a big score away from home, we can reach the final."

As soon as the two met, they started talking about football. Kamina competently acted as a listener, her eyes twinkling, hoping that her man would stand on the top of the world football stage.

Mendieta was worried, "It's good to reach the final, but the opponent in the final may be Real Madrid. Their cup competition has always been very stable, and I have a lot of experience in Del Bosque's defense."

Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals is Bayern Munich. The first leg was 2:0 at home, and they also entered the Stade de France in Paris, the venue for this year's Champions League final.

"Isn't this me?" Jiang Shan was full of confidence, "When you were cutting inside on the court, did you find anything missing?"

Mendieta also wants greater success and more honors. During this period, the team is in good shape and his ambitions are even greater. Under Jiangshan’s intentional guidance, he constantly considers the team’s tactics and often plays on the court. A stroke of genius.

So as soon as Jiangshan made the call, Mendieta immediately understood, "I held the ball and cut inside. When I broke into the opponent's penalty area, there was one less passing point. If someone came from the side and I passed the through ball, there would definitely be more There are a lot of opportunities." Then he added, "But the team's full-back is not Carlos, and he does not have the ability to go straight up and down."

Valencia's two main full-backs, Angeloma and Carboni, are both veterans. Once they get in, they can't come back, leaving a big gap for their teammates, which is difficult to defend. Substitutes Geraldo, Gerardo and others have bigger problems. They are inexperienced and can't grasp the timing of their intervention.

In the past, full-backs only had to be responsible for defense and basically did not have to play half-time. By the late 1990s, full-back assists gradually became the mainstream.

Jiangshan smiled. Mendieta saw the problem very clearly. As long as the full-backs increase their intensity, the team's offense will change more. "I will talk to them privately and find the right time to intervene. It will be no problem."

"Okay, I will also mention it to Coach Cooper." Mendieta said enthusiastically, "I want to win the Champions League, and this year is my best chance."

Jiang Shan nodded.

"When will you become a coach?" Mendieta wiped his mouth and asked suddenly.

"Don't ask, it's shameful. The team I will coach in the future can't afford you. Haha..." Jiang Shan's plan was very clear. He only has a B-level coaching certificate. Even if he is the head coach now, he cannot coach a professional team.
