Chapter 140: Plan Ahead

After Chang Sheng listened to Ottie's words, he was a little surprised, because the people around him who heard his words thought that Chang Sheng was crazy.

Unexpectedly, the club's top management seemed very indifferent.

But he reacted immediately – the club's hierarchy were naturally happy to see the team do well, so if the team could defend the league title next season, they would be happy to do so. Naturally, the club should support this.

Fans and others can question the goal of winning constantly.

But there was no reason for the club to stare at him with wide eyes: "Are you crazy, Chang?" ”

'I think we can invest more in the transfer market next season, the team is in a good financial position this season and we are in the Champions League and we will get a bonus......

Pitacci next to him began to talk about the team's finances.

To put it simply: Valencia have a little more money than last season, allowing Chang Sheng to make a big splash in the transfer market.

In the end, Pitacci offered to spend 40 million euros to bring in perennial reinforcements.

Ten years later, 40 million transfer funds may not even be able to afford a player of sufficient grade, but now it is still possible to buy a lot of powerful players.

This shows the determination of Valencia FC.

But when Chang Sheng listened to Pitaqi's introduction, he shook his head and refused.

"No, I don't need that much money."

This time, the people in the room were moved and surprised.

I've never seen a manager who thinks he has a lot of transfer money.

The manager and the club's management have always been like a natural rival. The head coach has been complaining about the lack of support from the club, especially the lack of transfer funds to allow him to bring in more players. The club always thinks that the head coach is a loser who spends a lot of money, and all the players who spend a lot of money are some unknown players.

In the eyes of the club's management, the manager must be greedy.

So when Chang Sheng suggested that he didn't need so much transfer funds, everyone was taken aback.

Chang Sheng explained: "The transfer fee is enough, and for me the transfer budget of 25 million euros is enough. I want to have more money to use as salary space for the team. For players, the salary is more attractive than the transfer fee. The transfer fee, we can negotiate with the opposing club, and we can even pay it in installments, but the salary is a real benefit for the player. ”

"Now that the squad is more complete, the focus of the transfer work is to increase the depth of the team's bench. We don't need to bring in any big names, so we don't have to pay too much for transfers. ”

As a time-traveling person, I naturally know which players' contracts are about to expire at this time, which players are cheap, and which teams can pick up cheap.

This avoids being the culprit and can save a lot of money.

That's why Ottie gave Everwin $25 million last season, and Constante didn't run out, but there was a surplus. Chang Sheng believes that the biggest golden finger of crossing is that he can predict the development of players, and can poach many stars when they are not famous in the future.

Otti also thought that Chang Sheng's words were very reasonable, so he finally agreed to Chang Sheng's request and put the excess transfer funds into the salary budget.

Llorente said that if he needs to bring in any players, he just tells him to do it. Last season, he worked happily with Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng also had an intuitive understanding of his transfer ability. All you need to do is give him the player's profile and tell him what his baseline price is, and Llorente will always be able to get the job done and bring him to Mestalla.

Chang Sheng said that he does not have a roster of players at the moment, and will naturally notify Llorente when he has a goal.

The two sides talked happily, and Chang Sheng explained to them a bright future.

Won the league two years in a row and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League at least.

Otti and the others are happy that they chose such a quality manager in the first place.

Winning success will certainly make his position more secure, and the angry Soler has no one to pay attention to......

With a 4-1 away win over Mallorca, Valencia won the title four rounds ahead of schedule, and there was a special boost, that is, Valencia will host Deportivo La Coruna next, and according to the rules, Deportivo will welcome the champion team before the start of the game.

It's a big blow to an opponent who has been competing for a season.

Valencia fans have been expecting this moment since a week before the match.

Super Laco bows down to Valencia!

At the same time, this match is also the first game after Valencia can maintain their unbeaten season after winning the title.

The media stared at them with wide eyes to see if they could actually do what they could say.

After all, Deportivo La Coruna is a strong opponent.

Coupled with the fact that after winning the title, Valencia's players will definitely let up......

On the day of the match, the Mestalla Stadium was packed to capacity, with more than 50,000 Valencia fans coming to witness the historic moment.

Before the start of the game, Deportivo La Coruna's players lined up in two teams outside the tunnel, and then Valencia's players came out of the middle, and they applauded.

Overall, there is no deep hatred between Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, so the Valencia players also greeted the Deportivo players very friendly after they came out.

Although they are rivals for the league title this season, it is limited to that. If it's a team like Real Madrid, Valencia don't mind showing off in front of the capital's team.

Before the game, Deportivo coach Irueta also took the initiative to shake hands with Chang Sheng and congratulate him on winning the league title.

"The afterlife is terrible." That's what he says about his wins.

※※※

This match is the first time that Chang Sheng uses three match skills.

In order to ensure that he can finish the season undefeated, he has always won without mercy, and now that he has a lot of energy, he has no problem using any game skills he wants.

Since it is on its own home turf, the strategy of winning is naturally based on attack.

Because the team only has the league left, there is no problem of multi-front combat and physical exhaustion. Chang Sheng didn't consider putting on the game skill of running without dying.

He opted for three offensive skills: primary attack, flying on both wings and penetrating with short passes.

The bonus effect of the three skills is really powerful. Valencia held high the banner of attacking football at home, pressing Deportivo La Coruna from the first minute of the game to show the world their attacking ability and determination to win.

In fact, Deportivo La Coruna's fighting spirit is still very strong in this game.

They don't expect a league title for a long time, Valencia is fifteen points ahead of them, and no one with a normal IQ will think about a league title at this time. But they also need to win because they have to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid for Champions League qualification. You have to make sure you finish second in the league.

According to the general belief, after winning the league championship, the energy of the Valencia players will definitely be discharged.

So they didn't expect Valencia at home to be so ferocious!

Their attack seems to be sharper than before they won the title......

The game was a tweak, with Reyes replacing Mendieta on the right flank, just to match his wing-flying skills.

And there is nothing controversial about such an arrangement. After winning the title early, it is natural to rest the main players and give more opportunities for younger players and substitutes, and Mendieta has no problem with it.

Reyes and Vicente were two wide players who made Deportivo Deportivo struggling defensively.

Both are fast, flexible players who are good at passing and penetrating.

It was clear that Deportivo lacked a better way to deal with it with their speed.

In the end, Valencia beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 at home. Won the first game after winning the championship.

It can be regarded as a slap in the face to those who are waiting to see the excitement, telling them that even if they win the championship, Valencia will not lack the motivation to move forward.

At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng smiled and said to those reporters: "Who said that Valencia will relax after winning the championship? There are three rounds left in the league and I'm sorry we're going to be unbeaten this season and we're letting you down! ”

After the match against Deportivo La Coruna, Mendieta's agent, Alberto. Tordra is finally back, and Mendieta can talk to him as well.

Mendieta has already made the decision to stay in Valencia.

But Tordela was unaware of Mendieta's decision, and he brought back another piece of good news for Mendieta.

"There's good news, Gezka. Mr. Florentino called me the day before yesterday! "When it comes to the president of Real Madrid, the agent's voice is a lot higher." They're interested in you, Gizka! Real Madrid is interested in you! ”

Mendieta's reaction was muted: "Didn't they just take an interest in me last year? ”

"Hey, this time they're determined and they're going to take you to the Bernabeu! Mr. Florentino himself said to me that you had completely impressed and conquered him with your performance in the Copa del Rey final...... Haven't you always wanted to go to a wealthy club? Is there anything more powerful in the world than Real Madrid? If going to Italy is risky, then I don't think you can go to Real Madrid at all, we are all Spanish teams, there is no problem of different styles, you can quickly adapt to the football there and get what you want - the European Cup! ”

Mendieta frowned.

The name Real Madrid is indeed very tempting, and there are very few players in this world who are indifferent to Real Madrid's favor.

But he was already planning to stay in Valencia......

So he shook his head: "Alberto, I have to tell you a piece of news as well. I'm going to stay in Valencia. ”

Alberto. Toldra was stunned for a moment. "You're not going to Real Madrid?"

"I think it's better for me to stay in Valencia...... It's a team I'm more familiar with, I'm more emotional, and most importantly, I see hope in Valencia this season, Alberto. Isn't that the kind of hope I've always wanted? ”

Alberto. Tordra looked at Mendieta blankly, but he didn't expect the other party to have a 180-degree change from his previous thoughts.

"What's going on, Gezka?" He asked cautiously.

'Nothing happened, Alberto, it's just what I've seen in the team this season that made me want to stay.'

"But you know, this is your last chance, Gezka. If you miss it, you may never have the opportunity to do it again until you retire. ”

Mendieta was actually very shaken, but he thought about it and thought that it would be better for him to stay, after all, he didn't have to bear the infamy.

"I know." He nodded. "I know the consequences of doing so."

Tordra saw that Mendieta had made up his mind, and knew that it was useless to persuade him.

So he sighed: "Okay, stay and stay." But there must be enough benefits to staying. I think what Real Madrid is interested in you this time may be of some help to you. We used this excuse to ask Valencia for more salary. ”

Mendieta didn't resist this, and he nodded, "You can do it, Alberto." ”

Finally letting go of a burden, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

It looks like he's going to retire in Valencia.

He began to dream of the day he would retire......
