In fact, the group stage between Lazio and Valencia has been hyped by the media since the draw results came out. Especially the local media in Valencia.

It's been two years since he left Valencia, but his influence in Valencia is still huge, especially when Valencia doesn't do well, and everyone here misses him very much.

Even if Flores led Valencia to regain Champions League qualification, it is enough to say that he is still living in the shadow of a winning perennial.

As the tournament approached, the hype spread not only to Valencia itself, but also to the whole of Spain, as well as to Italy and continental Europe.

With a week to go before the start of the game, Sky TV in the UK did a show to look back at the past between Chang Sheng and Valencia. All the footage comes from the TV media at the time.

They have made a panoramic look back on the experience of three full seasons from the signing of Valencia to his departure from Valencia.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese media is not to be outdone, after all, it is Chinese who win often.

China Central Television's football program "World Football" also produced a special program to allow fans and viewers to look back on the details of winning in Valencia. The program continues the usual sensational style of football in the world, and there are many appearances in the program such as "There is no fault in the story of Chang Sheng and the Bat Army, only missing" "When Chang Sheng decided to announce his departure on the news after the Champions League final, we don't know how much pressure he was under in his heart and what kind of fierce battle he went through" "Like water, fireworks are easy to cold, and Chang Sheng's decisive decision has caused great damage to the two sides to fight, so that those of us who once expected them to be forever can only sigh ......" This kind of collocation.

The reporter of the French "Team Daily" came directly to Chang Sheng and interviewed him.

As for the rest of the media. It's more about comparing the current situation in Valencia with the current situation in Lazio.

This is the most convincing and intuitive.

Of course, it is also the most enjoyable to see.

Completely different from those warm memories, this method is to tear apart Valencia's wound again, and show it in front of everyone in a bloody way, telling them what Valencia looks like with and without victory!

'When I was in Valencia, I brought a lot of young players to Valencia and then I developed them. These players he has developed himself have helped Valencia win honours. But after he left, these players were naturally sold by Soler. Deco and Ronaldinho went to Barcelona, Reyes was sold to Arsenal, Carvalho and Ferreira went to Chelsea and Arbelloa went to Liverpool. Milito was sold to Zaragoza......"

"Soler has almost completely disassembled Valencia into the most basic screws and other parts. But the sale of so many players has not been able to alleviate the team's debt crisis much. Where is all this money spent? The salary of the head coach and the liquidated damages that need to be paid to terminate them. Of course, Soler has also brought some players to Valencia, but no matter who they are, they have not achieved the same level of achievement and form as they usually are. A lot of players spend a lot of money on them and don't get a few appearances. Or rather, they were hurriedly refrigerated after only a few games, but their wages still had to be paid, so they ......"

"Look at what Valencia looks like when you leave often, and look at what Lazio looks like when you come often. I think Lotito made a good deal. And compared to him, Soler is like an idiot with a negative IQ! At every home game, Valencia fans spontaneously chant insulting songs from the stands, and at one point Soler wanted to take them to court – which is ridiculous. The president of the club told his fans that it is no wonder that Valencia has fallen so far under Soler......"

"For the return of Lazio to Valencia. Valencia fans welcomed and said they had been looking forward to this day for a long time. It's a pity that Chang came back this time as a guest, not as a ...... to return to the coach's seat."

……

In addition, the "Curse of Constant Victory" is also a topic of great interest.

After leaving Valencia, Chang Sheng once said that as long as Soler was still in the position of Valencia chairman, Valencia would not want to win championship honors, and any championship honors, no matter how big or small, could not be obtained.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Chang Sheng was talking angrily, and he didn't take it seriously.

Later, when everyone found out that Valencia really didn't win a championship, they realized that the situation didn't seem right......

Only then did someone re-open the words of Chang Sheng, and a look at it......

Isn't that a curse?

So Chang Sheng's words escalated from "angry words" to "curses".

Some people are unhappy with Chang Sheng because of this, and think that Chang Sheng has left you, how can you still say this about your former club?

When you go to a new place, you say that your former employer is not, isn't this a character problem?

But the problem is that Chang Sheng is right, and this is not his initiative to curse his old club, if it weren't for Soler to put the blame on him......

Besides, Chang Sheng was originally a controversial person, he was never a recognized good person, but he was also not a recognized bad person.

In him, there is always controversy, and it does not stop for a moment. As many people like her, there are as many people as they hate him.

Chang Sheng doesn't care that someone scolds him and curses his old club, his character is not good, and he doesn't need to be responsible for the people who scold him.

Two days before the start of the race, the French newspaper "Team Newspaper" published an interview with their reporter about Chang Sheng.

In the interview, Chang Sheng showed his personal charm, that is, those qualities that some people hate, but some people are fascinated.

In the interview, he was sharp and witty. Maybe you can't agree with what he said, but you have to admire his sharp words, which always have the power to move people's hearts.

That's probably why his team has always been able to keep their morale high.

At the end of the interview, the reporter of the "Team Newspaper" mentioned the different side of Changsheng in the interview codex: "A lot of coaches manage themselves, they know what the media and the public want to hear, so they say anything. Open the newspaper and you'll see the whole page of crap, 'We're playing well...... Another tournament is coming soon...... Hopefully we can win...... The important thing is that the team's performance ......' was really perfect in terms of the way the interview was done. This kind of nonsense often satisfies the interviewer, and some newspapers and television stations barely care about the content of the interview, and they only want to — or seem to want — to let the audience know that they have been interviewed. Because just interviewing celebrities is enough to attract attention......"

"To be honest, that's what I did at first. But that's not always the case, he communicates with me very honestly, shares his opinion on something without reservation, he never tries to hide his true thoughts, or lie to me. I was amazed by that. Because I think telling lies to the camera should be a compulsory course for celebrities...... These stars will package themselves as the most complete and popular models, like they look polite at all times, but when everyone is like that, I think you're going to go crazy......"

"Chang never tried to do that, he never packaged himself, I think what he is in his usual life, he is in the media. But we may have become accustomed to wearing a mask and saying hypocritical things, so when we face such a naked person, we seem helpless or even panicked. There is a lot of misreading and smearing of him in the media, which is not normal. What appears in front of us is just a normal person who has his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, his own principles, and will make mistakes, and normal people do not need to be smeared and should not be misunderstood. ”

"Finally, one thing - in the interview, we talked about Valencia and Soler, and often said to me: 'Soler is a bitch!' When I was dumbfounded, he also said to me: 'Don't delete what I just said, just post it.' Now that I have sent it out, I think that when he scolded Soler, he may have hidden his love for Valencia...... But his way of expressing his love will definitely make many people unacceptable, and even misunderstood. But he never wanted to change a little bit and continue to go his own way. This is Chang, a collection of contradictions full of controversy. Hopefully, this interview will help you watch that midweek game......"

Excerpts from the interview:

Reporter: "When they heard that you were going to lead the team back to Mestalla, the Valencia fans were very happy, and it seems that although there is a lot of debate about you from the outside world, you are still very popular in the teams you have coached. Why is that? ”

Wins: "It's easy, because I can bring them a championship. ”

Reporter: "So what do you think about this kind of welcome?" ”

"Thanks to them, the Valencia fans are lovely. But I'm sorry, my team came to Valencia to take away the victory. I'm not going to show mercy. ”

Reporter: "Is it because of Soler......"

Chang Sheng: "Soler is a bitch, there's no doubt about it. But it's not about him, I'm just chasing for victory. Just like I did when I was coaching Valencia. Facing opponents and winning, that's my style. I don't treat my opponents differently......"

Reporter: "Is there really no such thing?" ”

Chang Sheng (shakes his head): "No." ”

Reporter: "Maybe it will make the Valencia fans sad. ”

"I'm sorry, but victory is my faith, and I won't betray my faith."

Chang Sheng said.
