Chapter 166: Pressure? (First Update)
Although Chang Sheng really wanted to occupy the domestic media position overnight, he really couldn't rush it. (Floating in the sky*)
First of all, he does not have a trustworthy person in the Chinese media, and in China, his uncle-in-law is helping him manage legal matters, but the media is not Pei Wei's good job.
Media public relations work, first of all, needs a person who understands the media, preferably an insider. The second is a person with good character, and a person with good character can only be trusted if he wins. He can be incompetent, but he can't be incompetent. First..., it is natural to be trustworthy and familiar. If you're not familiar with it, you can't cooperate.
It's just that this first requirement is easy to meet, and the second point and the first ... It's hard.
There are a lot of insiders in the circle, but it's hard to find insiders who are trustworthy and have good character.
So Chang Sheng can only put this matter aside for now and concentrate on work, after all, the team's training is the most important thing.
The people who bought Changsheng did not participate in the World Cup, so when the team stipulated the registration date, these new players came to the team for medical examinations, signing and reporting.
Chang Sheng only then met the players he named to buy, except for Arbeloa and Mista, the other two were meeting for the first time.
Cambiaso returned from Argentina, packed his bags in Madrid and arrived in Valencia.
Deco ended his holiday in Brazil early, returned to Porto, packed his bags and rushed to Valencia.
That's how the four new players came together.
They also chatted during the physical examination.
By the time the physical examination was over, the four of them had already chatted about it.
The relationship is much closer than it was at the beginning.
The most they talk about when they get together is what their new manager is.
On this issue, Mista has an absolutely authoritative say.
Because he was the only one who worked with Chang Sheng for a season.
So basically he said, and the other three listened to it, and occasionally asked if they didn't understand something.
After asking and asking, the image of Chang Sheng, the head coach, in their minds was gradually established.
According to Mista's description, Chang Sheng is a manager who is strict in training and in games, and he doesn't really like to mingle with the players in normal times, and most of the time he is with the coaches.
Arbeloa then questioned: "Then why do you listen to what you say, your players have a good relationship with him?" ”
Mista smiled: "It's easy, because he can bring us victory and championships!" As a player, who doesn't like to win? Which doesn't want a championship? ”
Such a simple rhetorical question, Arbelloa was speechless, and the other two players fell into deep thought.
Finally, Mysta said to his three new teammates: "It's always easy to get along with. You just need to train hard and play seriously, you don't have to worry about him usually, as long as you don't violate discipline, he generally won't trouble you. As long as you follow him, you can win the championship. Others don't need to be considered. I think it's very simple to get along with Chang, if you give wholeheartedly, he will repay you wholeheartedly. ”
After he finished speaking, several of the other players fell into deep thought.
Everyone wants their new manager to be a good guy to work with, and no one wants to work with someone who is difficult to work with. But after listening to Mista's words, they were not sure whether their new manager would be easy to get along with or not......
They then met their new manager.
A young overly Chinese.
Although the image of Chang Sheng has appeared in the media many times in the past two seasons, they are not often seen in real people.
It's always a little unreal to look at a TV screen, or a newspaper photo.
Especially Deco and Cambiaso.
Both Arbeloa and Mista have seen the winners, but the remaining two are not. Cambiaso has played in Argentina for four seasons in a row, and he is nominally a Real Madrid player, but in reality the team's dominant manager in La Liga doesn't know anything.
The same goes for Deco, who has always played in Portugal and doesn't know much about Spanish football.
He knew very little about Chang Sheng, let alone a real person.
When Chang Sheng appeared in front of them, the two players were a little surprised.
Because Chang Sheng is so young, he looks more like a player than a coach.
They were stunned for a moment, and saw Mista excitedly shouting, "Coach! 'They've just reacted, it's a real win, their new manager.
So they also took a closer look at Chang Sheng.
I heard that he was almost thirty years old, but maybe it was because the Asian looked younger, and he looked a little younger than he really was.
He was not tall, had a well-proportioned build, and always had a smile on his face.
He was very happy to see Mista, and he also said hello to Arbelloa.
Then he looked at the other two men, Deco and Cambiaso.
He held out his hand to the two of them, "Welcome to Valencia, guys. As you will know later, this is the right decision of your career! ”
Deco and Cambiaso, in this way, were unprepared to accept the recklessness and arrogance of the constant victory.

At the press conference when the new players joined the team, Chang Sheng let several new players see why he was called a "public enemy" by the media.
When a journalist from the Madrid region maliciously questioned the winning signings, he sold the captain and the stars of the team, and brought in all the nobodies.
The smile on Chang Sheng's face was even bigger.
At first, Deco and Cambiaso, as well as Arbelloa, who has only one side to the win, feel strange.
Everyone is so naked and slaps their faces, how can Chang Sheng still laugh?
Then Chang Sheng's smile became brighter and brighter, and when the reporter finished asking the question, and then looked at Chang Sheng's face, he would think that the reporter had just slapped Chang Sheng's ass.
Then Chang Sheng had a smile on his face, but he snorted from his nose: "In my first season in Getafe and in Valencia, I bought nobodies, and as a result, how are these nobodies now?" You're a journalist, you should know better than I do, if not, go back and look up. I'm not obligated to teach you. But the recruitment in these two seasons can already prove my vision. Questioning my vision? You don't have the qualifications yet! ”
The three new players sat next to Chang Sheng and looked at each other - their new manager was not very good-tempered, and they all spoke so aggressively......
Looking at the reporters in the audience, no one showed a surprised look at all, and they all seemed to be used to it.
Even the reporter who was scolded by Chang Sheng only had some resentment on his face, and did not say anything further.
One reporter was asked to stand up and ask: "Aren't you worried that the new players will put too much pressure on them by comparing them to the old players who have already achieved success?" ”
Hearing this question, Chang Sheng turned his head to look at several new players, and he did not answer, but motioned for several people to answer the question by themselves.
Mista, who has worked with Chang Sheng for a season, knows now is the time to show his loyalty.
So he was the first to pick up.
"Pressure? As a professional footballer, you have to deal with all kinds of pressures, but I have confidence in myself and in my manager. ”
Mista, a player who has worked with Chang Sheng for a season, is understandably speaking up for his manager.
But the second one to open his mouth was Deco, which surprised everyone a little.
In fact, before opening his mouth, Deco also thought about it.
It is impossible for me to return to Porto, and coming from Porto to Valencia is also a career improvement. This is an opportunity that you really should seize.
He didn't know if he would be able to play in Valencia, but he didn't want to be a substitute.
"I'm not afraid to compete, whether it's with my current teammates or with those who have left." It was not easy for the shy Deco to say such murderous words.
However, he knows very well that in order to get the main position in Valencia, which is full of masters, he must have a murderous spirit.
He's shy, but he knows exactly what to do on the training ground and on the pitch.
Seeing that Abello was preempted by Deco, he hurriedly followed: "I have the confidence to deal with the pressure!" ”
Finally, Cambiaso, the Argentine midfielder who currently has hair on top of his head, was the last to speak, not because he was slow, but because he was confident.
"I'm not afraid of pressure."
Seeing that the four of them had finished speaking, Chang Sheng looked at the reporters with a smile.
"I hope you are satisfied with this answer."

After the meeting with the new players, Chang Sheng met Deco's agent Mendes again in his office.
For the future Portuguese agent predator, Chang Sheng is no stranger.
He had already met Mendes once in his life, but that time the two sides had just routinely dealt with the transfer and broke up.
He didn't invite Mendez to his office, and Mendes didn't ask for it himself.
This time it was different, Mendes offered to meet Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng knew that he already had a place in the Portuguese agent's mind.
Mendez knows how to build a good relationship with someone.
First of all, don't be too enthusiastic, that will make people suspect that you have bad intentions. The so-called dedication to nothing is the truth of either adultery or theft.
Secondly, don't rush to express your intentions when you meet for the first time and the two parties are not familiar with each other, so that the other party will not pay attention to you.
In short, it is necessary to be neither humble nor arrogant, nor to show too much interest, just to communicate at work.
With the first such contact, you will not be too wary of yourself when you contact the other person in the future.
Mendes had studied the person he was going to meet before he came to see Chang Sheng.
He pieced together the character and image of Chang Sheng from those media reports.
He found that Chang Sheng is a person who eats soft rather than hard, and if you have a tough attitude, then he is tougher than you. Plus he doesn't seem to have a good impression of the agent. So if you show too much superiority in front of Chang Sheng, I'm afraid that it will definitely not be Chang Sheng who is unlucky in the end, but yourself and your own players.
But if you are too weak, you will let this person seize the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
So Mendes came to show neither humility nor arrogance this time.
There were no non-centritorial demands, such as a raise for Carvalho.
He conveyed his goodwill to Chang Sheng, saying that if Deco has anything to do with here, whether it is not serious about training, or he is homesick and has a temper, Chang Sheng can contact him at any time and be responsible for dealing with it.
He handed over the business card, and the other party had his own phone number, and the initial contact was established.
Chang Sheng took the business card and smiled: "The agent is also responsible for being the player's nanny?" ”
Mendes smiled slightly: "As an agent, I pay attention to service. Unlike some agents, they just sell the players to the team and it's over. I sold the players to you, and I was also responsible for their food and accommodation in the new environment, helping them to adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible. I guess that's a good thing for your team too, isn't it? ”
Chang Sheng nodded, he was interested in the idea that Mendes' agent was not selling players, but services.
And admit that Mendes is right.
In fact, the head coach hopes that the players he brings in can integrate into the team as quickly as possible and contribute to the team. No one wants to buy a bunch of high-paid substitutes who can't adapt to the team for half a day.
He also understands why Mendes quickly became one of Europe's most famous agents in the future. I'm afraid it's not just about relying on Jose Mourinho's Porto to win the Champions League.
Successful people must be extraordinary.
He felt that it was really easy to work with this agent who knew the rules, at least more comfortable than with Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola.
So he took the initiative to reach out: "I hope we have a good time together, Mr. Mendes." ”
In the future, the famous agent in European football hurriedly came up to catch Chang Sheng's hand and shook it: "Happy cooperation!" ”
Such a famous agent, who is now respectful to himself, has a smile full of accomplishment on his face. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to Baidu to search for Piaotian and collect and recommend, your support is my biggest motivation. )
