Kate. Gracie and the people on Valencia's side are very efficient. Welcome to Reading //

The next day, Chang Sheng received a phone call asking him to go to Valencia to meet with the club.

Although Chang Sheng still didn't understand why Valencia had found him, he gladly accepted the invitation.

Since they couldn't buy tickets for their last flight to Valencia, the two decided to simply drive.

Along the A3 motorway, more than 350 kilometers away, by his agent Kate . Gracie drove to Valencia, east of Madrid on the Mediterranean coast.

As they pulled into the boundaries of the Valencian Community, Chang Sheng saw a traffic sign with an arrow pointing in the direction they were coming from, and the word "Spain" was written in English behind the arrow.

Chang Sheng can't help but be happy.

If you stay in Spain for a long time, you will be able to know the current situation of the country, and the consciousness of the autonomous regions is very strong, perhaps only the Castilian people in the Madrid area will regard themselves as Spaniards, and what are the Basques, Catalans, and Andalusians everywhere else......

The same seems to be true of the Autonomous Community of Valencia.

Valencia is next to Catalonia and must have been influenced by the ideology of its neighbors to the north.

When you enter the province of Valencia and get close to the city of Valencia, you can see a large area of verdant green on both sides of the road. The low, round green vegetation is full of orange trees. As the largest producer of oranges in Europe, Valencia is a veritable orange city.

Kate driving a car. Gracie saw Chang Sheng staring at the green places outside the car window in a daze, so he became a part-time tour guide: "Those are orange trees. If we come during the orange harvest season. Valencia can be called the 'City of Gold', as far as the eye can see, it is all golden. ”

Chang Sheng nodded: "I can imagine that kind of spectacular. ”

When he was in China, he had been to Sichuan in the spring, and when the train crossed the Qinling Mountains, the Sichuan hills and mountains appeared in front of him, and the slopes were planted with rape flowers. The large fields of rape flowers make Chang Sheng's eyes shine, and the eyes are golden, which is quite spectacular.

Chang Sheng thought that the orange trees had a bumper harvest, and it was estimated that the scenery was similar to that of the rape flower field.

When a Gothic building with an orange spire appears at the end of the road. Kate driving a car. Gracie said, "Here we are." ”

Yes, Valencia has arrived, a city full of ancient buildings with more than seven hundred years of history, such as various Baroque reliefs, Gothic arches and Romanesque gates. It was the destination of their trip, Valencia, the capital of the Valencian Autonomous Region and the province of Valencia.

Kate. Gracie drove straight to the home stadium of Valencia FC, the Mestalla Stadium.

The 55,000-seat Mestalla Stadium is no match for Alfonso. Perez Stadium is much grandiose, although it actually looks pretty basic...... Because they have no roof on all three sides of the stand, except for the roof on this side of the rostrum, the fans in the stands have to be drenched in soup when it rains.

But the city of Valencia, despite its proximity to the Mediterranean, is arid and rainless. The Tulia River here has dried up, leaving only the riverbed, which is now planted with various trees. A planetarium, a cinema - Valencia City of Arts and Sciences, and a football stadium were also built on the riverbed, all of which would have been flooded if it rained too much.

Chang Sheng just glanced at the Mestalla Stadium with his agent Kate. Gracie walked into the stadium together.

In a special reception room, they met the new president of the Valencia club, Jaime. Ottie. Garcia. and the club's new manager, Garcia. Pitage.

"It's not a meeting, it's just a private meeting." As soon as they met, Ottie explained the nature of the meeting.

Letting them meet at the club doesn't mean that Valencia has to choose a permanent winner, everyone still needs to get to know each other first.

Chang Sheng nodded and said he didn't mind, no problem.

Then Ottie laughed: "Although I've watched you many times. But you're still younger than what I've seen on TV. Your achievements in Getafe last season are for all to see, Mr. Chang. I'm just curious, how did you do that? ”

Chang Sheng's heart said that these ten haves* are interviews.

It's the same as looking for a job, if you pass the interview, it's OK, if you don't pass the interview, then where you came from and where you go back. The kind-hearted club will reimburse you for the round-trip transportation and accommodation expenses, isn't that kind...... It's in arrears. It's not that there is nothing like this, when Berbatov couldn't get along at Manchester United, Fiorentina was interested in him, so he dared to go to Florence on a plane to talk to others, but in the end he didn't get along, and he flew back by himself. After some time, he broke the news to the media that Fiorentina Club owed him money for a round-trip ticket......

What do you think is going on?

In the face of the other party's seemingly casual inquiry, Chang Sheng also seemed very relaxed, he is now a person with confidence and capital, there is no need to be so nervous and unconfident as a recent college graduate.

"High level of training, courage and confidence. And, of course, the love of football. Chang Sheng replied without humility or arrogance.

In fact, this question is not important at all, as long as Chang Sheng's answer is too outrageous.

Otti was fairly satisfied with Chang Sheng's answer. He nodded, and stopped asking him questions about Getafe.

The results of the winning are there, no matter how he did it, he just did it.

"I would like to ask Mr. Chang, what are you interested in...... What do you think of Valencia's results this season? ”

When Chang Sheng heard this question, he cheered up.

He knew that the main topic was coming.

So he thought about it seriously and then replied, "Shit." ”

Kate drinking water. When Gracie heard this, he squirted out all the water in his mouth before he could swallow, and choked himself. Covering his mouth and coughing desperately, his face flushed.

Pitage and Ottie looked at Chang Sheng in amazement.

No one expected that Chang Sheng would give such an answer.

"Sorry, I'm a little vulgar. But that's my truth, and the truth doesn't always sound good. I think, Mr. President, you must be listening to the truth, not the nice words, right? Chang Sheng said.

Ottie was stunned. Then he shook his head with a smile and said, "You are really as personality as rumored, Mr. Chang." ”

Chang Sheng smiled: "I have won the prize, I don't dare to be it." ”

"So why do you think Valencia's results are shit?" Ottie continued to ask.

"Reached the Champions League final two years in a row. It may seem like a show, but I think former head coach Cooper has exhausted the team's full potential and enthusiasm for this competition. Reached the finals twice in a row, but couldn't win the championship. The morale blow to the team is huge. Chang Sheng began to analyze it for Otti. In fact, his analysis was summed up by fans on the Internet in later generations, and he just adjusted it slightly, and said it in a way that is convenient for people in the game, such as Otti.

This can be seen in the team's league standings this season, with Valencia losing to Barcelona in the final round and missing out on Champions League qualification. As a club that invests heavily every year, keeps buying stars, and hopes to make breakthroughs on all fronts, this season's results are really shit. ”

Hearing Chang Sheng's mouthful of "shit", Pitage was a little dissatisfied, and he asked: "The runner-up in the Champions Cup and the fifth place in the league are shit in Mr. Chang's eyes." So what could you do better? ”

Chang Sheng smiled at the angry Pitage slightly: "Champion." ”

Pitage didn't react: "What? ”

"I said, if I were to coach the team, I would lead the team to the league championship," he said. ”

Kate. Gracie turned his head to look at Chang Sheng, he had learned his lesson this time, he didn't drink water. It turned out that he was right. Otherwise, he must have squirted out another mouthful of water.

Otti was stunned for the second time, and Pitage was a little annoyed, believing that Victory was amusing him and amusing him. So he said in a very bad tone: "This joke is not ridiculous, Mr. Chang." ”

Chang Sheng shrugged, "Why should I be kidding you, Garcia. Mr. Pitage? ”

"Of course I think you're joking. Mr. Chang. Do you know how many years it has been since Valencia won the league? The last time we won the league was in 197071 season. Pitage now feels that Chang Sheng, as a candidate, is not at all self-conscious. first insulted Valencia's results, saying what kind of "shit", and now he is talking wildly, saying that he can win the league championship by leading the team...... What a joke!

Can such a frivolous man really be our Valencia manager?

"Yes, I know, you haven't won a league title in 30 years. But does that have anything to do with what I'm talking about? Just because no one has been able to do this in the last 30 years doesn't mean I can't. When I debuted at Getafe, there were a lot of people who doubted me and thought that I couldn't lead the team to relegation, but what happened? They didn't believe I could lead the team to promotion, and the result? They didn't believe I could lead the team to the second division, and the result? In the end, they didn't believe I could beat Mallorca of Aragonés to win the Copa del Rey. Chang Sheng stared at Pitage and asked rhetorically.

He seemed confident, even Kate. Gracie didn't know why he was so confident.

Chang Sheng is of course confident. Because he knows that Benitez is in charge of Valencia, that is, he won the league title the following season, he knows his tactics, he knows the reasons for his success, and most importantly, he has the help of the system. With the help of the system, he was able to get Getafe to replace Benitez's Tenerife to the first division, and he also replaced Sevilla to win the league title and beat Mallorca to lift the Copa del Rey.

He can do all of this in a team like Getafe, so why not believe it in Valencia, who are stronger?

Chang Sheng is very confident.

A successful season in the past has given him a lot of confidence.

Pitage was dumbfounded by Chang Sheng's continuous rhetorical questions.

Yes, the achievements of this Chinese are there, and everyone can see it. Very convincing indeed.

"But the First Division is not the Second Division, Mr. Chang." It was his boss, Mr. Otti, who relieved him.

After Ottie asked, he looked at Chang Sheng with interest, expecting his answer.

"So if I want to be the manager of Valencia, I need transfer rights. I bought players in Getafe and they performed, and I think you should know that. If you don't give me transfer rights, then I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”

Chang Sheng said his biggest request. That's his bottom line. If a club doesn't give him the right to transfer, then his coaching performance will definitely be discounted, because he is a time-traveler. The biggest golden finger of the traverser is to predict the future, you can buy some players who are not famous now but will become popular in the future, and they can improve the strength of the team.

If there is no transfer right. Like a typical Spanish coach, who is only responsible for training and leading the team and directing the game, Chang Sheng would rather not be the head coach.

For him, it doesn't make any sense.

Ottie and Pitage looked at each other.

They know about Getafe and some of the things Getafe does, the most famous of which is that he snatched the transfer power from Getafe general manager Moscodo, so he finalized all the transfers of Getafe last season.

I have to say that this Chinese's vision is indeed very accurate.

None of the players he bought from all over the world last season did not play well.

Before Senna came to Getafe, no one knew who he was at all. But he is Getafe's main midfielder, the core of the transition between attack and defence.

Charlie Steas only played as a substitute at Aris before coming to Getafe and is now the top scorer in the Spanish second division, scoring 29 goals in one season.

Mista is a dispensable fringe figure in Tenerife, where he is the team's second-leading goalscorer. Or the Golden Boot of the Copa del Rey.

Louis. Garcia did not have any good performances at Barcelona, Valladolid and Toledo, and his future was bleak, but he became the heart of the attack at Getafe.

Yaya. Toure, a kid brought back from the continent by Victorious, replaced Xavi in the second half of the league. Gimenez has successfully become the team's main midfielder. He is very good on the defensive end, and his good physical fitness is enviable.

Barzaretti, a 19-year-old kid on loan from Turin, Italy, couldn't play in Turin, but under him he was second only to Luis. Garcia's second-tier assister.

All six of them he brought from other teams and they have been seen in Getafe.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Chang Sheng asked for transfer power.

But this is not in line with Spanish football tradition.

If you want to ask Chang Sheng to coach, do you want to give it or not?

Chang Sheng saw that the other party was silent, but he was not in a hurry, took a sip of the coffee cup, and then waited for the other party to ask.

Ottie thought about it for a long time, and then said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Mr. Chang." Valencia didn't break into the Champions League next season and I don't plan to invest too much money in the transfer market because we don't qualify for the Champions League and we won't have much income, so naturally we won't invest much. ”

What he meant by this was that we don't have much money to invest in the transfer market, so even if you have transfer rights, I'm afraid it's useless.

Chang Sheng looked very calm, with an expression of "I already knew", he nodded: "It's okay, you can sell some players, so that you can have money." ”

He had already raised his own transfer funds by selling players at Getafe, so now he seems to have a lot of experience in saying that.

In fact, he has long known that Valencia will shrink this season, on the one hand, it has invested heavily in previous seasons, but it has not been able to win the championship, which makes the club's senior management a little suspicious of this kind of large-scale spending business strategy, on the other hand, as Otti said, the team did not reach the Champions League this season, so the team will naturally not increase investment in the transfer market.

Once again, Pitage was struck by Chang Sheng's words.

Valencia's squad last season can be said to be very strong, if this squad continues, even if it may not win the league title, but there should be no problem in qualifying for next season's Champions League, right?

As a result, this Chang Sheng was going to sell people with one mouth......

That's too bold, isn't it?

After listening to Chang Sheng's words this time, Otti thought about it for a long time.

Chang Sheng saw that the other party couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he took the initiative to leave.

Ottie got up to see them off: "I'll get back to you as soon as possible, Mr. Chang." ”

Chang Sheng smiled at him: "Then I'll wait for your call, Mr. President." ”

Chang Sheng is not too urgent to become the manager of Valencia, because Valencia was an unexpected invitation.

If you can get this job opportunity, it will be good. He does have the confidence to lead Valencia to the title.

But if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter, with his results in Getafe, there will be plenty of opportunities waiting for him.

So the group took their leave, and Chang Sheng and the agent Kate. Gracie walked out.

"Shall we find a hotel?" Kate. Gracie asked.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "Let's go to Valencia, do you know what is worth visiting?" ”

"Aha, then you're asking the right person, I know Valencia very well! In the United States, Valencia is also very popular, and some even claim that Valencia is the city you have to visit. Because there's the America's Cup ......"

Kate. Gracie introduced Chang Sheng as he walked to the car, opened the door, and made a gesture to Chang Sheng to get in the car.

"Welcome to the City of Courage and Strength!" ……)
