Chapter 106 We have an account to count

The Catalan media's feelings about Chang Sheng have always been complicated - Chang Sheng poached their captain, of course, Guardiola is going to leave on his own, and the relationship with Chang Sheng is actually not only this account but also on Chang Sheng, so Catalonia's attitude towards Chang Sheng was very cold at first.

But when Victor led Valencia to a 5-0 home win over Real Madrid, the attitude of the Catalan media towards Win changed. Because winning is not just as simple as beating Real Madrid, he also humiliates Real Madrid in the game and does what Barcelona can't do if they want to.

After that game, the Catalan media touted Chang Sheng, almost saying that Chang Sheng was an old friend of the Barcelonans.

They think that Chang Sheng hates Real Madrid so much that he and Barcelona must have a common language.

But later, when Valencia played better and better under the leadership of Chang Sheng, ranking at the top of the league table, many Catalan media began to be jealous.

Pep Guardiola left and gone, and everyone gradually forgot about him, because in midfield, the young Xavi did a good job. In addition, everyone's attention is now focused on the civil unrest in Barcelona, so there is no time to pay attention to Guardiola.

It would have been fine if Guardiola had played in Valencia, but Guardiola's performance was very good, which inevitably made the Catalan media a little surprised.

A player that the club doesn't want is thriving in other teams, and now it's topping the league with the team, what does this make the people who stay think?

Isn't this all the more proof of Barcelona's failure?

This sentiment has been around for so long that the Catalan media has been less touted about Chang Sheng and his Valencia. Until the twentieth round of the league, Real Madrid hosted Valencia.

It was only before that game that the Catalan media began to re-energize the perennial victory. As sworn enemies, they would love to see Real Madrid unlucky.

Valencia, who have been winning perennially, lived up to their expectations, beating Real Madrid 2-1 in the game, while Pep Guardiola scored a goal.

After the game, the Catalan media hailed Pep Guardiola for completing Barcelona's Real Madrid stunner on the other pitch - they counted Valencia's achievement as theirs.

They covered the game as if it weren't Valencia who beat Real Madrid, but their Barcelona.

Since then, the Catalan media has softened their attitude towards Everwin and Valencia.

Until now, they have even made overtures to Valencia in their own media.

Ahead of the team's trip to Mestalla, the Catalan media was frequented with photos and articles of Pep Guardiola interviewing them. In this way, they want to express the friendly relationship between the two teams.

In fact, there are no permanent wins, and the relationship between the two teams is indeed good.

In Spanish football, where there are many factions and intricate relationships, the relationship between Valencia and Barcelona is indeed good.

Although they have had the opportunity to compete directly, such as in the last game of last season.

Overall, however, the exchange between the two clubs has been relatively peaceful, not as heavy as between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Community of Valencia is just south of the Community of Catalonia, right next to it.

The Valencian dialect in the north and the southern Catalan dialect sound very similar, and the two sides have a lot of roots. In addition, politically, both pursue Duli autonomy, so they are incompatible with Zhongyāng's centralized Madrid. This has already been seen on the motorway from Madrid to Valencia.

The two regions have the same political aspirations and similar language habits, so the relationship between the two should not be too different.

So in fact, Catalonia's attitude is quite normal, but because Valencia has an extra Guardiola, they care a little more.

It should be a friendly game for Barcelona – provided they beat Valencia away.

Barcelona are currently third in the league, behind Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, and behind Real Madrid, they naturally want to compete for the league title.

If Barcelona can win this game, they don't mind showing their gentlemanly demeanor at all in order to maintain the friendly relationship between the two clubs.

※※※

Barcelona believe that there should be no grievances between them and Chang Sheng, and they don't have to worry about anything else, they just need to think about the game normally.

But Chang Sheng clearly doesn't think so.

He didn't win against Barcelona on the road, and this time back at his home turf he has to win. He could not accept being beaten or drawn by Barcelona.

In fact, the reason is the same as in the game against Real Madrid, that is, only the team that has the courage to face against strong teams and can still win can be regarded as having a championship heart.

So this game is a must-win.

Against a team like Barcelona, even if they are not in good form at the moment, if they want to win, they have to give it their all.

He is also aware of the good relationship between Valencia and Barcelona, but he does not want that relationship to affect the morale of the players.

He's very good at or likes to look for things from history to motivate his players. This time was no exception.

In Chang Sheng's view, the relationship between Valencia and Barcelona is good, but it does not mean that the relationship between the two teams should also be good. There are a lot of things to consider when running a club, so you can't be a sinner easily.

But the team is different, the problem of the team is very simple, we are the enemy on the field, either I die or you die!

Coupled with the fact that Valencia and Barcelona were in the last round of the league last season, he didn't believe that the Valencia players had no fire in their hearts.

As long as there is a bloody player, after losing that game, it is impossible to run out of ideas. Because that game is not to say that Barcelona played better than them, but Rivaldo played well, and Barcelona's victory was not a victory for their team, but a victory for Rivaldo alone.

It is also normal for Valencia to be unconvinced.

Winning now has to use this game to remind the players that Barcelona have a grudge against them, so Valencia must win this game!

Time flies, especially with the UEFA Cup in midweek, and soon it's time for Valencia to host Barcelona.

This match can be regarded as a strong conversation, and the Mestalla Stadium is packed.

When the Valencia players returned to the locker room after warming up on the pitch, Chang Sheng turned off the lights in the dressing room and let everyone watch a video of the game.

When the picture first appeared, many Valencia players were stunned.

Because this is Valencia's away game against Barcelona last season, it is the final round of the league.

Prior to that game, Valencia were three points clear of Barcelona and fourth in the league, and a match that would guarantee a place in next season's Champions League as long as Valencia do not lose away to Barcelona.

And if Valencia loses to Barcelona and the two sides are evenly divided, it will be a matter of comparing the wins and losses between each other.

Valencia are at the bottom of the pack - in the first leg between the two sides, Valencia lost 1-0 at home to Barcelona.

So if they lose to Barcelona in the second leg, it's over.

In fact they did lose to Barcelona...... No, it should be said that it was lost to Rivaldo. Rivaldo's shocking hat-trick put an end to Valencia's dream.

It is ironic that the team that has reached the final of the Champions League will not even be able to participate in next season's Champions League.

"Rivaldo...... Rivaldo - Rivaldo!! ”

"Nice direct free-kick! Barcelona take a 1-0 lead at their home stadium! There is no better start for Barcelona! You know, it's only been four minutes since the game!! ”

"Baraha - Baraha!! Valencia equalises with a header! The two sides are back on the same starting line! ”

'It's not long before the end of the first half, it's already stoppage time...... Barcelona attacked, the ball fell to Rivaldo's feet, Rivaldo feintmed, he went forward, dribbled horizontally...... Got past a Valencia player and then he ...... Far - shè - ! 2：1！ Oh, my God! Just when everyone thought the first half ended in a draw, it was Rivaldo again!! He blasted Valencia's goal open for the second time with a long shot! Poor Canizares ......"

Seeing this conceded goal, listening to the voice of the commentator on TV, Canizares's face was not very good-looking.

"Baraja! It's Balaha again! Header! Header again! Baraja seems to be competing with Rivaldo in this game! His header broke Dietroull's ten fingers again! Turning Rivaldo's hard-earned lead to naught, the balance of victory is back in Valencia's favour – as long as they keep that scoreline until the end, Valencia will be third in the league by three points! ”

'It's the last minute of the game, it's going to be stoppage time...... I think the Valencia fans may have started celebrating their victory early, and some of the Barcelona fans who couldn't bear to see Barcelona relegated to the UEFA Cup have already left early...... De Boer ...... Oh! Rivaldo !! ”

The TV screen appeared on Rivaldo's chest and will be Frank. De Boer's long pass stopped, then rolled over and jumped upside down, directly upside down the golden hook. The ball flew almost against the post and into the goal of Canizares from a very tricky angle.

“…… It's magnificent! Oh! It's wonderful!! You can't imagine Barcelona finishing the season with such a goal! The Brazilian scored a hat-trick!! In just a split second, I saw the most brilliant goal I've ever seen! A million-dollar goal! No, it's a goal that means millions of dollars next season!! ”

"It's unbelievable! This player is simply unbelievable......"

The commentator's high-pitched voice echoed through the dressing room before it came to an abrupt halt, and the images of the Barcelona players and the club's hierarchy celebrating wildly were frozen – with Chang Sheng pressing the pause button.

But he didn't turn on the lights, and the room was still dark, with only the light on the TV screen as the only light source in the dressing room.

"I saw the most brilliant goal I've ever seen." Chang Sheng repeated the narrator's excited words, as if he had inserted another knife in Valencia's wound. He's right, this barb may be in the top 10 of the best barbs of all time. Later, when countless TV stations around the world produced a collection of goals about barbs, I bet this goal was indispensable, and Rivaldo became famous, famous, and what about you? Valencia guys, you will always be Rivaldo's foil, a backdrop for his brilliant goal, a backdrop forever! ”

He raised his voice and suddenly roared loudly.

"Are you willing?" He lowered his voice again and asked, "Are you willing?" After losing last season's final round and losing your Champions League qualification, are you willing? You know, you didn't lose to Barcelona, you lost to Rivaldo, you lost to one person, but in fact you had to perform better than Barcelona all season, but why should they be the team that ends up going to the Champions League, not us? ”

Chang Sheng is a series of rhetorical questions. The room was dimly lit, and the only light source came from the TV screen, but it was obvious that such a light would not shine on everyone, so Chang Sheng could not see their expressions. But he doesn't need to read the expressions of these players.

He just needs to make these players hear him.

"I noticed the pre-match reports in the Catalan media and they were happy, they thought we should be friends with them, but I think they were wrong, why should we be friends with them when we were stabbed by them last season? Is it just because we killed Real Madrid twice? Bullshit! What does that have to do with them? ”

Fortunately, in this game, Guardiola was not qualified to come to the dressing room because he was not in the squad for the game, otherwise I don't know what I would think when I heard Chang Sheng's words......

'For me, it's very simple, it's not just Real Madrid, it's Barcelona, it's our enemies and they want to beat us. The match against Real Madrid, maybe mixed with my personal feelings, but for Barcelona...... We in Valencia and they still have an account to settle, so let's settle it today! ”
