Chapter 15: The Mess
Chang Sheng hung two people into the transfer market in one go, which is just surprising the decisiveness of the head coach. This time, what he did did did not attract criticism and amusement from the media.
Because Zakhovic and Diego. Alonso is not the type of player who has performed particularly well, and it is understandable that he has been listed.
Although Zakhovic has the strength, he does not perform well, and his energy may be put into awkwardness. When he was at Olympiacos, he complained that his teammates were not of high quality, and when he arrived at Valencia, who was at a high level, he complained that the competition was too fierce.
Diego. Alonso, as a striker, is inefficient, and everyone is not sorry to leave.
In the will Zakhovic and Diego. After Alonso's listing, Changsheng continued to focus on the transfer market.
Good news soon came from Portugal that Porto were willing to sell Carvalho – apparently their boss had not yet realised Carvalho's ability and it didn't seem to be in Machado's plans for the new season.
Porto also didn't ask for too much on Carvalho. This shows their lack of attention to Carvalho.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement on the price of four million dollars.
Carvalho has also announced his arrival in the team.
The media also said they couldn't understand the transfer deal - they knew that Valencia was now too old in the backline and was a big concern. So it's okay to update the backline.
But...... Ricardo. Who is Carvalho?
Chang Sheng dug him out of that corner?
Although he is a player for Porto, he has not played for Porto. are all on lease.
For such a player, what does Chang Sheng value about him?
The media don't know and are completely confused.
Chang Sheng remained silent in the media.
At the same time, he began to ask another Portuguese team, Setúbal, for a price.
This team is the team that has just been promoted to the top flight of Portugal this season.
The main focus this time is on one of their right wing-backs, Paul. Ferreira.
Valencia's two full-backs are too old and have to be replaced. At left wing-back was a young Brazilian, Aurelio, who Chang Sheng knew well, as Aurelio had gone on to play for Liverpool. Aurelio used to be an excellent full-back in the Brazilian football kingdom, but he had too many injuries.
When he was in Liverpool. At one point, the original Liverpool's main left-back Riser was squeezed to the bench. If it weren't for the injury, his achievements would have been higher than later.
He made just seven appearances in Valencia last season and was a substitute for Carboni.
This season. Chang Sheng intends to straighten out this full-back with sharp assists and accurate crosses. Just like he did with Barzaretti in Getafe.
Now that he already has a full-back with excellent assists, the other side is as he is used to in Getafe. It is necessary to use a full-back who is good at defending.
So he set his sights on Paul. Ferreira.
Paul. Ferreira was at his peak in Porto, where he won the European Cup under Jose Mourinho and was named in the European Team of the Year for the 2004 season, where he was a first-choice right-back.
Pacos Ferreira is not very physical, and as a Portuguese, he does not have the agility of Latin football, but his characteristics are clear - he defends well and has a very good ability to enforce tactical discipline. He was more faithful to the execution of Mourinho's orders than the Germans.
He then moved to Chelsea, for which Mourinho paid £13 million. It set a record for the transfer fee of a full-back in English football at the time.
And after he arrived at Chelsea, he became more cautious, almost rigid and strict in the defensive area, not daring to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and the assist was pressed near the halfway line at most.
Such a style is certainly not pleasing to the fans.
But Changsheng likes.
Chelsea conceded just 15 goals that season. I have to say that there is a credit to Ferreira.
Winning often requires such a acceptance of tactical discipline, strict implementation of their own tactics, and careful defensive full-backs.
Valencia have Mendieta on the right and don't need an assist from Ferreirado.
Buying him will bolster the team's defensive ability on the right flank.
And this time Paul. Ferreira is not worth much, so it is very cost-effective to buy him.
After all, Ferreira was not known at all at this time. He had previously played for three years at Estoril, but Estoril is a team in Portugal's second division and is not well-known. This team is not as well-known as the same town......
He then moved to Setúbal. Slightly stronger, it took a season for the bad guys to rise to Portugal's top league.
But that's about it.
Europe's best right-back in 2004 was still an obscure little rock at this time.
If it weren't for the traverser, he wouldn't have known that there was such a number one in European football.
Although Setúbal was successfully upgraded, it was a fool's dream to keep Ferreira.
Because Valencia is just too attractive for Ferreira.
Which is better compared to a promoted team in the Portuguese league or a team that has reached the final of the Champions League two years in a row?
It's a nonsense question that doesn't need to be answered at all.
When Setúbal received an offer from Valencia, they knew they couldn't keep last season's main right-back, Paulo Petúbal. Ferreira.
As it turned out, Ferreira was flattered that Valencia was interested in him.
Chang Sheng is really thanks to Cooper, who led Valencia to the Champions League final twice in a row and gained enough popularity for Valencia, which has become the capital for him to fool people everywhere now.
If Valencia is just a strong team with a bit of influence in Spain, it will not be so easy to cheat Ibrahimovic at the very least. People must choose Ajax, who has excellent youth training strength and is more willing to reuse young people.
And Carvalho will not be so attractive, how Porto is also a Portuguese giant, but also the hegemony of the side that has won the Champions League.
It's good now.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Carvalho and Pacos Ferreira are all in the winning slots.
Chang Sheng felt that he should rush to this, and he should be a little merciful when he meets Cooper's Inter Milan in the future - if they can meet......

Just as Chang Sheng was getting the players he wanted in the transfer market, Valencia players who were on leave were also returning to the team. Patena Sports City, Valencia's training base, which has been silent for a month, is gradually becoming lively.
For the selection of the winner from the second division of the team as the head coach of the team. A lot of Valencia's players were surprised.
They originally thought that the club owner would choose a more famous coach.
Of course, they were just surprised.
Most people don't disdain it.
It's not like it was at the beginning of his tenure in charge of Getafe's first team. Because Chang Sheng is not a nobody to them.
He led the team to relegation four rounds ahead of schedule and won the championship one round ahead of schedule. and beating Mallorca in the Copa del Rey final to lift the Copa del Rey trophy. has made his name constantly mentioned by the media.
So these Valencia players also know that their coach is not a nobody without a level. People learn from real talents, but there is still a gap between their fame and Hiddink and Cooper.
But many players are skeptical about whether the coach can take Valencia to the next level.
After all, Valencia have reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, which is a remarkable result. If it were better than this...... Wouldn't that be the championship?
Getafe is a small team, where there is less pressure to work and relationships are simple. But Valencia is different, both in terms of pressure and dressing room environment, which is much more vicious than Getafe.
Will this young Chinese coach be able to handle it?
Many Valencia players watched with skepticism.

The 16th was the day of the team's coverage, and Chang Win had to show up at Paterna Sports City a day earlier.
Because he had to meet with his coaching staff first.
The last time he went to Getafe's first team, he was alone. Now he has one more Rudy by his side. Gonzalez.
In the office, facing a slowly room of people, the ever-winning general Rudy. Gonzalez introduced to a new colleague and the original team's coach Julio. Redondo, for his part, introduced Chang Sheng and Rudy to their new colleagues.
Including a coach Francisco. Jose. Camaraça, a goalkeeper coach Francisco. Jose. Vargas.
And then it's all scouts and team doctors.
Chang Sheng found that his coaching team was not as strong as he thought.
This doesn't look like a La Liga powerhouse coaching staff......
Julio. Redondo clearly saw the suspicion in Chang Sheng's eyes. "Originally, there were more than so many people on the coaching staff, but when Cooper left the team, he took all of his coaching staff with him...... So ......"
Chang Sheng suddenly realized.
He had wanted to form his own coaching team, but the Cooper family already had their own.
These people are not loyal to a certain team, but to him, and he follows wherever he goes.
When Cooper signed his contract with Valencia. It must also be a contract signed with his entire coaching staff, just like he took Rudy. Gonzalez came with Valencia like that.
If he leaves, then he will definitely take Rudy with him. Gonzalez walked with him—as long as Rudy wanted to.
So Cooper left, and the coaching staff followed him.
Cooper hasn't started poaching yet, but on the coaching staff, the Argentinian has left a mess for Chang Sheng.
Because Chang Sheng found that there was no physical trainer in Valencia's coaching staff!
As for the pre-season training camp, the most important content at the beginning is physical training.
He needed a strength and conditioning coach to help him plan his fitness training reserves for his pre-season training camp.
This is a very professional job, even if Chang Sheng has accumulated a lot of experience, it is impossible to complete this work.
And now there is only one day left before the official start of the pre-season training camp.
Where can I find a strength and conditioning coach for this day?
Chang Sheng now wanted to scold his mother - the Valencia club board didn't even tell him about it, so he thought Valencia's coaching staff was complete......
He had thought about showing mercy if he ran into Cooper's team. Now what he thinks is - Lao Tzu must kill Cooper! ……)
