Mendieta has been silent in the face of Permanent Victory since Valencia rejected Lazio's offer outright.

Everyone can see that he has a big opinion of Chang Sheng.

Lazio didn't make an offer in the end, so Mendieta naturally had to stay in the team.

His agent called every day to scold Chang Sheng, and encouraged Mendieta and Valencia to fall out completely. He believed that if Mendietaken had a direct falling out, Valencia would be pressured to let him go.

But the problem is that Mendieta doesn't dare to do that.

He still cares a lot about his reputation. After all, he is a player who has been playing in Valencia for so many years, even if he wants to leave, he wants to get together and disperse, he doesn't want to get into too much trouble with the club and end up with infamy.

This is his affection for Valencia FC.

But just because he has feelings for Valencia doesn't mean he has feelings for Chang Sheng.

Now he doesn't have a good impression of Chang Sheng.

It's just that the work ethic doesn't keep him from having a direct conflict with the manager.

However, Chang Sheng did not trouble him, which is also one of the reasons.

Anyway, the two sides were strangely silent to each other, as if they were blind to each other.

It's weird and it's not normal.

That's why Chang Sheng has to solve this problem, he doesn't mind what Mendieta thinks of himself, even if he scolds his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

It's a personal vendetta, a private feud is a personal vendetta, and a working relationship is a working relationship.

He doesn't want personal grievances to affect their working relationships.

Because Mendieta is the captain and the core of the team, if this core doesn't deal with him, this team can't think about it.

Judging from the pre-match warm-up, Mendieta is still professional.

But Chang Sheng has no bottom in his heart. He felt that if he didn't talk to Mendieta, he would always have a sword of Damocles in his heart.

With three days left until the start of the season. Chang Sheng finally took the initiative to find Mendieta.

Mendieta had already changed in the locker room and was ready to leave and drive home.

Chang Sheng blocked him at the gate of the locker room.

"Do you have time, Gezka."

Mendieta looked at Chang Sheng standing in front of him and fell silent.

"I think we should have a good talk." Chang Sheng said again.

Mendieta finally nodded this time, "Okay, where?" ”

"Let's go to the training ground, this is not the place to talk."

A lot of the players in the dressing room were listening to Chang Sheng's words with their ears pricked up, and it was really not a good place to talk.

Mendieta nodded in agreement.

So the two of them walked side by side towards the training ground.

It was a pity for the Valencia players who were hiding behind the goal and eavesdropping.

※※※

"I know you have an opinion of me, Gezka." Chang Sheng didn't start with the weather, which was the old way of the British.

He got straight to the point. Cut to the chase.

Mendieta obviously didn't expect Tsugami to be so straightforward. He wasn't ready yet, he didn't know how to answer.

Chang Sheng didn't expect to let him answer, so he continued to talk to himself.

"But I'm going to correct your mind, it's not me who leaves you, it's Lazio."

Chang Sheng stared at Mendieta.

Mendieta looked at Tsutsu Sheng in amazement. I don't understand why he said that.

"I think you know that Valencia accepted Lazio's second offer. But why didn't the transfer deal materialize? Quite simply, because Lazio simply don't have money, they don't have enough money to take you. We, Valencia, are not Lei Feng, so it's impossible to give you out for nothing, right? ”

"What is Lei Feng?" Mendieta frowned.

"One of our celebrities in China, known for helping others, likes to help others for free. Do you think we should give you away without a penny? ”

Mendieta couldn't say anything like that even if he wanted to leave. He still hopes that his departure can make a little contribution to the Valencia club, and the transfer fee is a contribution. After all, he still has a lot of affection for Valencia.

"So you have to know that it's not my problem, it's Lazio's problem. Now that I have made this matter clear to you, I just hope that you will not affect the overall situation because of these personal matters. You are the captain of the team and you should set an example for the whole team. I don't care what you think of me. Gezka, even if you scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations in your heart, I don't care. I just hope you don't bring your personal emotions to work. Everyone is an adult, so you can't meet such a minimum requirement, right? ”

Chang Sheng stared at Mendeita after speaking.

Mendieta suddenly felt a kind of pressure, and the young Chinese coach actually felt the pressure when he stared at him.

It seems that as long as you give an unsatisfactory answer, you will suffer some kind of catastrophe.

But Mendieta knew it wasn't going to be like that, but that feeling just lingered.

Before, he had a stinky face, but now he can't.

He thought about it for a moment and said: "But I think my career in Valencia has reached a plateau. ”

Chang Sheng thought to himself, you transfer out is the real bottleneck, okay?

But he could only think about it in his heart.

When the words came to his lips, it was a different look.

He can't tell the other party "Lao Tzu is a traverser, Lao Tzu is stupid when he knows that you transfer to Lazio, so you must not go to Lazio!" ”

He spread out his hands and said to Mendieta with great confidence, "Why? Is it just because there is no champion? That's okay, now I'm here. ”

Seeing him say so confidently, Mendieta couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Mendieta smiling, Chang Sheng straightened his face and said, "What? Don't believe me? Don't believe I can lead this team to the championship? ”

The oppression returned, and Mendieta couldn't laugh anymore.

"No, I just think ......"

"Think I'm a little too arrogant, don't you?"

"No, it's ......"

"Think I'm talking nonsense with my eyes open?"

Chang Sheng pressed in, and Mendieta's forehead began to sweat. He was a little stammering, not knowing what to say.

Before, it wasn't Pereira. Or Hiddink, or Ranieri, or Cooper. Mendieta has worked with a number of excellent coaches, but he has such an aggressive momentum all over his body...... Victory was the first he saw.

In the end, he had to admit: "Well, I think what you said is too confident, but it is not true." ”

He thought that he would wait for Chang Sheng's angry reprimand, but he didn't expect to hear him say this, but Chang Sheng laughed, laughed very happily, very happy, and was so happy that it was a little weird.

"Let's limit it to one year. Gazka. You stay in Valencia. Take a good look at how I led this team to the championship! "Chang Sheng said this very confidently." After a year, if you still want to leave, I won't keep you. If you want to stay. I welcome. ”

In fact, Chang Sheng is very clear, even if Mendieta does not go to Lazio, he will not be able to play in other teams.

He didn't play at Lazio and spent only one season before being loaned to Barcelona. He played 33 games at Barcelona and scored four goals, which is not bad. However, this performance is still far from his performance in Valencia, and after the end of the season, Lazio wanted to sell Mendieta to Barcelona to ease their financial burden - although they did not pay Valencia the balance of the transfer fee, Mendieta's annual salary is still a big burden for them.

But Barcelona didn't want it at all.

He had no choice but to return to Lazio. He was then loaned to Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

In his first season at Middlesbrough, he made 31 appearances and scored two goals, which is a decent performance given his current situation on the go.

Middlesbrough, on the other hand, are not as picky as Barcelona and feel that Mendieta's performance in this season on loan is acceptable. Just negotiate with Lazio and buy him.

Lazio is also eager to get rid of this hot potato with a high salary.

They were even afraid that they wouldn't be able to get rid of it, and they didn't even dare to ask Middlesbrough for the transfer fee, so they directly transferred it for free and gave it to Middlesbrough.

As a result, after Middlesbrough bought it, he found out that he had been fooled.

Firstly, Mendieta asks for a high salary, and secondly, ...... Compared to last season on loan, his performances began to plummet, and injuries affected his form and his attendance. He hasn't played a full season since his move to Middlesbrough, playing just seven games for the Premier League side in his first season, a slightly better second with seventeen games and two goals and a third back to his old seven games.

After his contract with Middlesbrough expired, the team did not renew his contract, and Mendieta finally reluctantly announced his retirement.

In fact, Mendieta's rise to fame has a lot to do with Valencia's tactical system.

In Valencia he was actually a free man up front, with a lot of range of movement, the whole team's attacking system was designed because of him, and his excellent physicality was just right for that.

But in Lazio, the tactics of the libero struggled to gain a foothold in Serie A, which was about compressing space and time, and pressing the defense, and the collision of two completely different styles of football eventually led to the fall of Mendieta. He tried his hand on the wings and at the back at Lazio, but he didn't perform well at Valencia, where he was confined to a tight space and lost his aura under the tight pressing of opposition defenders and the tactical constraints of the coach.

Going to Barcelona, Van Gaal used him as a midfielder sapper, making high defensive demands on him, but at the same time letting him go to attack, two completely contradictory demands that left Mendieta at a loss, and although he adhered to a Basque tradition and struggled tirelessly, he exhausted his energy and the last shred of inspiration in the non-stop useless running.

As the brutal facts turned out, once out of Valencia's tactical system, Mendieta suddenly fell into disarray.

In the new tactic "Mad Dog" designed by Chang Sheng for Valencia, Mendieta's characteristics were also taken into account, giving him room to play. Although his position is on the wing, it still gives him a lot of room to move, he can move freely up front, anyway, with Ferreira on the right side, the defense does not have to worry too much, so it can also liberate Mendieta.

But if you change to other teams, you don't have so much time to do this kind of thing.

When Mendieta heard the words of Chang Sheng, he suddenly felt a sense of "relief" that he only needed to stay for another season.

As for staying after a season?

He hadn't even considered such a possibility.

He was determined to leave Valencia, and he thought that nothing could shake his determination.

As if he was afraid of Chang Sheng, he asked rhetorically: "A season? ”

"Just one season!" Chang Sheng nodded affirmatively. "If you still want to leave then, we will not force it!"

Mendieta looked at Chang Sheng. As if he wanted to see if Chang Sheng lied to him.

Naturally, there was no need for Chang Sheng to lie to Mendieta. Because what he said was true, if Mendieta wanted to stay in Valencia as a loyal servant, he would have no problem. But if Mendieta is still determined to leave next season, then he will definitely not try to persuade him as hard as he does now.

When the time comes, if you can sell more money, Changsheng will definitely not be soft. Of course, it still won't be sold to Lazio!

"I hope you'll keep your promise when the time comes, sir."

Chang Sheng shrugged: "I've always done what I said. ”

Then he held out his hand: "So, can we shake hands for a pleasant cooperation?" ”

Mendieta hesitated, but held out his hand.

Chang Sheng smiled: "Very good, that's all." Gazka. A season later. I bet you won't want to leave a championship team. ”

Mendieta was noncommittal. What will happen after a season, who knows. If you say you can win the championship, you must be able to win the championship? There have been so many coaches over the years, which one doesn't say that they can win the championship? The result?

He just wants to stay for a full season and get out of here. Go to a wider stage and pursue your football dreams.

※※※

After ending the conversation, Mendieta took the initiative to call his agent as he went to the parking lot and told him about his agreement with Changsheng.

'I spoke to him and he gave me a promise that I would stay in Valencia for another season. Then let me go. He said.

"Are you crazy, Gezka?" The agent was so frightened on the phone that he didn't say anything for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. I thought about it for a long time before I could hold back such a particularly uncreative sentence. "You actually believe the words of a Chinese? I tell you, there are two kinds of people in the world who cannot be trusted, and one is the Jews. One is the Chinese! ”

"What about that? Can you find me a suitable club with two days left to close the transfer window, Alberto? ”

The agent on the other end of the phone was silent.

Apparently he couldn't do it.

It's that Lazio has wasted his old nose, so in the end he was stabbed by Chang Sheng, and he was very unhappy with Chang Sheng. This unhappiness with Chang Sheng now extends to the entire Chinese community.

"So that's all there is to it now. Thankfully, we only had to stay one more season. ”

Alberto. Toldella had to sigh: "Okay, okay, anyway, I said okay, it's the last season." No matter what, let's go! What the hell......" He was still muttering when he hung up.

※※※

Chang Sheng and Mendieta reached an agreement, or a tacit understanding.

Mendieta stayed with peace of mind and continued to lead the team as captain.

And Chang Sheng promised Mendieta that if he still wanted to leave at the end of the season, he would definitely let him go.

With this tacit understanding, Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mendieta doesn't bother him, he'll be much less stressed.

Otherwise, as the captain of the team, someone with a high status and prestige in the hearts of the players and fans alike, if he really has a hard heart to do against him, then the locker room will be restless from now on......

As a traverser, Chang Sheng can say too much about this.

The leader of a team is often the leader of a team.

Such a person can play a good role, but also a negative role.

If it's not handled well, it's a lose-lose situation.

Chang Sheng came to Valencia to win the championship, not to play palace fighting with someone.

Being able to resolve the issue with Mendieta peacefully made Tsung Sheng very satisfied.

When he left the training base, he still touched his chin and felt more mature than before.

It seems that he is a big step forward from becoming the world's top head coach!

After Mendieta's affairs are settled, the next step is the opponent in the first round of the league......

When I think of the first opponent in this league...... Chang Sheng is very excited!

Because this opponent is none other than Real Madrid!
