Chapter 110: Who Else Is Against It? (Guaranteed second update)
Chapter 110: Who else is against it?
The match ended with Valencia beating Barcelona 3-0 at home. When this result came out, many people were surprised, even those who watched the game.
They couldn't figure out when Valencia became so strong that even Real Madrid and Barcelona could ignore it.
At the post-match press conference, as soon as Chang Sheng sat down, he put his hands around his chest, raised his chin, and said very arrogantly: "I said that I want to win the league championship this season, who has any opinion?" β
There was silence below.
What underpins the arrogance of the winning team is the team's results.
After 27 rounds of league matches, Valencia has 21 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses, remaining unbeaten, accumulating 69 points, ranking first in the league, and they have already left Deportivo La Coruna, who is second in the league, 15 points.
What is the concept of fifteen points?
Never before in the history of La Liga has a team been able to lose the league title by as much as 10 points ahead of second place.
There are eleven league games to go until the end of the league, but fifteen points have all but sealed the league title for Valencia.
Because no one would believe that Valencia would collapse next.
Although the physical consumption of the Mad Dog tactic is indeed large, Chang Sheng is also actively rotated, which also reduces the speed of physical consumption of the team.
Moreover, the semi-final of the Copa del Rey against Deportivo La Coruna made people react - there are always wins and defensive counterattacks to play! They're not just tiki-taka.
There are two very different tactics, Valencia makes it difficult for opponents to deal with, because you never know which tactics Valencia will choose when playing against you, and Chang Sheng never shows his tactical training in front of the media, so it is still difficult to find clues from training.
Even for the average fan. Those inconsequential training sessions, he can open up to the average fan and attract them to Paterna Sports City, but once there is tactical training today, then sorry, you can only watch the warm-up for fifteen minutes from the sidelines, and then you will be asked out by the security guards. Want to sign it? Want to take a group photo? When the training is over, the security guards will naturally let you in.
Because of this mystery, many people can't guess what tactics Chang Sheng will play, maybe a mad dog, maybe a defensive counterattack.
Empiricism suffers greatly for Valencia, and A CoruΓ±a is a case in point.
This is still a big tactical change, not to mention the adjustment of various small details in a fixed tactic that Chang Sheng is best at, often a simple adjustment can make a earth-shaking change.
Valencia, with so many variations, does make it difficult for opponents to guess.

After the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng returned to the locker room, and everyone was still gone.
So Chang Sheng asked them, "How does it feel to have revenge, guys?" β
"Wonderful!" Baraha replied loudly, and then he got the others to echo him.
Last season's game was an eternal pain for Baraja, he scored a brace in that game, and it was not easy for a midfielder to do this, but such a performance did not bring a victory to the team, and he and the whole of Valencia were reduced to the foil of Barcelona and Rivaldo.
Balaha was naturally unwilling, very unwilling.
This unwillingness lasted for a long time, and today, in this game, it was finally all vented.
Although he didn't score a goal, he didn't have an assist, and his individual performance was far worse than last season, but that didn't matter. The important thing is that your team wins!
Chang Sheng was very satisfied with everyone's performance, he smiled and nodded: "Have a good rest, although the midweek League Cup game, I still decided to give you a day off, this is what you deserve!" β
His words were cheered by the locker room. Doing everything to win a game and being praised by the manager makes the players feel that their efforts are worthwhile, which helps to improve the relationship between the players and the manager.
Seeing that everyone was cheering for the head coach, Mendieta was torn inside.
In fact, he has been struggling since the beginning of the season.
His own mindset changed several times this season, and for a moment he was determined to leave Valencia to pursue his future and break through the bottlenecks. After a moment, he hesitated, thinking that it might be the right decision to stay.
The key is that his agent always speaks ill of Chang Sheng in front of him, so that Mendieta's perception of Chang Sheng is not good enough.
Although the personal perception is not very good, the results of leading the team with constant wins are really in front of everyone. After 27 rounds of the league, unbeaten, first in the league, and as many as 15 points ahead of second place Deportivo La Coruna, the goal of the league championship is about to be completed, which is a goal that countless coaches have not been able to achieve for 30 years......
Now it seems that following this head coach still seems to have a promising future......
But he may not like himself, because his relationship with him has always been cold, and they have no contact except for work communication.
Is there a future in playing under a manager who doesn't like him? This season he reused himself because he had just arrived in the team, and there was no one to use it, so naturally he could only use himself. If he is given a season of time, he has more time, will he still have a chance under him?
Mendieta thought of the semi-final against Deportivo La Coruna, where he was put on the bench and he was replaced not by Angullo, but by Reyes, a left-footed left winger who ran down the right and did well and had a good goal.
He didn't take it too seriously at the time, and now he suddenly felt that this was a very bad sign.
Chang Sheng is already looking for his alternative on the right side, what if he is not there?
Now it seems that Reyes is doing a good job.
So he is confident now, and he doesn't need to look at his face anymore. Once you become indispensable on the right flank, your value decreases considerably.
But leaving a mature team is also a risk, and who knows if it will be successful after going out?
At this time, Chang Sheng's original words lingered in his ears: "Italian football is not for you, Gezka." β
Although he was dismissive at first, this sentence was like a nail, and it was always nailed to his heart.
Every time he had the idea of leaving, he would think of this sentence, faintly reminding him that leaving was risky and that he needed to be cautious about transferring......
But if you don't leave...... And there is always some unwillingness - the Champions League champion, he led the team to the final twice in a row, and in the end he was only one breath away.
He was not reconciled.
Baraja is not happy to lose their Champions League qualification after losing to Barcelona in the final round of Valencia last season.
And he Mendieta is unwilling to reach the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, but he has not been able to win even one title.
If he stays in Valencia, will he still have a chance of winning the Champions League?
He didn't know the bottom of his heart.
So for a while, he has been stuck in the cycle of "to go or not to go", unable to extricate himself.
The heart is very entangled.

The staff of Valencia FC can see the smiles of the president Otti and the general manager Pitacci these days, and everyone knows that their boss is in a good mood, because Valencia's lead in the league is so huge that the league title seems to be out of reach.
Otti was naturally the happiest, he insisted on choosing Chang Sheng as the head coach of the team, and in the face of those doubts and incomprehensions, he withstood the huge pressure and chose Chang Cheng to overcome public opinion.
And Chang Sheng did not disappoint him, from the beginning of taking over the team, all the way to the present, closer and closer to the league championship.
In addition to proving the outstanding level of Chang Sheng's coaching, it also proves that Otti, as the president, has a sharp eye.
Who doesn't like to be a discerning Bole?
The league title is just around the corner, and for 30 years, no Valencia president has been able to do this, but he has done it in his office, what a remarkable achievement!
Who wouldn't want to be the greatest president of their club? It's like the Bernabeu is to Real Madrid and Gamble is to Barcelona.
Otti also hopes that he can make a big difference at Valencia FC.
Although he didn't know if he could achieve this goal, at least he had made a good start, and in his first season in office, the team won the league championship!
This is the credit of the manager who won the game, and it is also the credit of Otti as the president of the club.
Of course, more importantly, if you want to become a chairman who will go down in history, you have to have a good enough manager to help him play. Looking at it now, Changsheng fits this condition very well.
Although his temper is a little stinky, he can win the championship!
Now it's time to find a way to stabilize him.
When Chang Sheng was still in Getafe, Valencia was so high that even if he was interested in Chang Sheng, he didn't send someone to Madrid to talk, but let Chang Sheng come to Valencia himself. If you change to a famous marshal, you can come and you have to pay for the journey. But Chang Sheng didn't talk about these things, and drove from Madrid to Valencia.
At that time, Chang Sheng was only a manager in the second division, and Valencia's invitation may have been a bit flattering to him. But now it's different, after more than half a season of tempering in the First Division, he has accumulated a wealth of experience, and his reputation has been greatly improved compared to before.
For him, Valencia is no longer the only big stage, and he will have more and more options.
A champion coach of the first division, there are people who want it wherever they go.
And what about the man who always wins...... It is clear that he is an ambitious man.
"Give him a new contract, right?" Pitage said to Ottie.
Otti thought about it and nodded: "Let's talk to him now, give him a '2+1' contract, and the treatment will be improved, showing our sincerity." And most importantly...... Finalize it as soon as possible! β
He followed and watched Chang Sheng for half a season last season, and it is impossible not to know the things between Moscoto, the general manager of the Getafe club, and Chang Sheng, if it wasn't for Moscow to drag it out, how could they have poached such a coach now?
Although he is confident that his club will not have an economic crisis like Getafe's, it is better to cut through the mess quickly so that he does not have too many dreams at night.
"Okay, I know, then I'll talk to him." Pitage took the order and left.
Otti, who stayed behind, began to look forward to what kind of heights Valencia would go to under his leadership, and what kind of glory it would achieve.
Maybe in a few years, Valencia's new stadium will be named after itself?
Jaime. Oti Stadium?
Well......
Sounds good! (To be continued.)
