Chapter 233: No One Is Indispensable (First Update)

Chang Sheng didn't care how Raiola dealt with the clubs he had promised, he didn't really know what Raiola was doing behind his back, but he carefully analyzed it and determined that Raiola was behind it. Italy is a traditional force in Raiola, so the Italian team is suspicious. Maybe they have some secret deal behind them?

In line with the principle that it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go.

Chang Sheng agreed to all the Italian teams' offers.

He did not promise Ibrahimovic that he would not go to Juventus and go to other teams.

As far as he knows, Raiola and Juventus are particularly close at the moment.

It was because of his success in moving Nedved from Lazio to Juventus.

In the history of the time and space that Chang Sheng is well known, because Juventus needed Emerson, Raiola successfully broke Emerson with Roma and transferred to Juventus. There are also rumours that Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart are on the same page in the dressing room, both of which were instigated by Raiola in order to allow Ibrahimovic to make a successful move to Juventus.

Then look at Juventus, who are the most aggressive of all the teams competing for Ibrahimovic. He could have guessed a little bit that Raiola must have put a lot of effort into Juventus.

With Juventus' status in Italian football and Mogi's status in Italian football, Raiola will definitely not dare to offend Juventus.

So in the end, Ibrahimovic definitely still has to go to Juventus.

※※※

Sure enough, Juventus soon informed Valencia that they had agreed a personal contract with Ibrahimovic and that the transfer deal could be initiated.

When Valencia announced Ibrahimovic's move to Juventus, the media were taken by surprise, although it had been expected.

Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng really drove away Ibrahimovic, who had been fighting with him for two years!

The ruthlessness of perennial victory seems to have a new strong corroboration.

Mendieta, Aimar, and Ibrahimovic, all of whom were the absolute main and core players of Valencia, were sold one by one.

“…… Chang Sheng proved that no one in his team is indispensable. He does what he says. When Mendieta and Aimar left Valencia one after another, some media exclaimed that Valencia's sale of heroes was definitely not a way to defend the title...... As a result, Valencia, without Mendieta and Aimar, did a good job and they successfully defended their title! But the two people who left Valencia were not very happy. Mendieta has put on the bench at Real Madrid and is currently looking for a transfer...... Although Aimar had a good chance to play, he didn't play at his level in Valencia at all, and knowing that Cooper was gone, he didn't fail to put in a good performance to save his Argentine countryman......"

The "Provincial Daily" immediately stood up to defend and support what Chang Sheng did.

It is said that Ibrahimovic was sold and sold, no big deal. The players who left Valencia did not mix well, and Valencia defended their title without anyone. So there's no need to worry about the team's results for a striker who has left.

Of course, there are also media criticisms of Chang Sheng's ruthlessness and unrighteousness.

"The conflict between Ibrahimovic and Valencia has been going on for two seasons, and it's just a matter of a weekly salary. Ibrahimovic thinks his weekly salary is too low and disproportionate to his performance. So is Ibrahimovic's weekly salary low? Low indeed. Should he be given the contract? Should! It's such a simple thing, why has it dragged on for so long? Valencia FC is notoriously stingy, so why can't they meet the demands of the Swedes? In terms of the value he has created for Valencia, a mere 60,000 euros a week is really nothing...... Often doing so decisively only shows that he is not a human manager, and in his eyes, victory is more than anything else. But to be a good manager, it's not enough to win...... Perhaps for him, players are tools, and when there is value in use, all kinds of sweet words. Once it loses its use value, it will be kicked away by Chang Sheng......"

However, the media obviously doesn't care about the impact of a player's request for such a salary increase on the entire team......

Of course they don't care, Valencia is dead or alive, what does it have to do with them? They just want to take advantage of the opportunity to win forever. So they just let it go, and as for what to do, they don't care.

The media is generally like this, just scolding, and it can't do anything. There is a Chinese saying that is particularly good, and it is very suitable to describe the nature of the media - standing and talking does not hurt your back.

Although the media are keen to induce discontent among Valencia fans by portraying him as a ruthless tyrant – they believe that the support of the fans is important in addition to his outstanding results.

If they can successfully arouse the disgust and dissatisfaction of Valencia fans with Chang Sheng, then they will be equivalent to breaking one of Chang Sheng's arms.

Unfortunately, this trick may work for fans of other teams, but it certainly doesn't work for fans of Valencia.

Even if he doesn't win to be Valencia's head coach, if he is replaced by someone else, this move will not have much effect.

Because Valencia fans have long been used to it!

Valencia sells main players, core players, and meritorious players not once or twice.

Moreover, the "Provincial Daily" is right, Changsheng sells these core players, and will always bring new cores to everyone, so the team's results will not decline because of this. Since this is the case, then whoever likes to go, let him go, and it doesn't matter to the fans who sells it.

They have supported Valencia FC for generations, not for a single player.

Mendieta has been sold, and players like Ibrahimovic, who have only been in the team for two seasons, are gone, no big deal.

So Valencia fans are particularly calm and calm now.

After the sale of Ibrahimovic, the purge continues.

The team's central defender, Manuel Pellegrino, was put on the purge list by the perennial winner.

The tall, header-oriented centre-back is not really old, and he is still in his prime for a centre-back.

He's a great player and can play in any team, but he never gets a chance at Valencia. Sometimes, Chang Sheng would rather give the likes of Marchena and Navarro a chance than Pellegrino.

The reason is simple, it is not that he has a personal vendetta against Pellegrino. It's because of Pellegrino's technical characteristics, and his style of play is incompatible with his own tactical system.

Although after two seasons of running-in and training, Pellegrino has made little progress.

As he gets older, his ability to accept new things decreases. And as he gets older, his potential has come to an end, and his ability has begun to decline, and at this time, his talent can no longer improve his attributes, and the improvement obtained by training is very subtle. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect him to be thoroughly cultivated by training skills.

In the winning mad dog tactics, the requirements for a centre-back are to have excellent running ability, the ability to play the ball, to be flexible and to have speed.

Ayala and Kawa Road both meet such requirements, and Marchena barely does.

Because all three of them have excellent running ability, a large range of movement, flexibility, and foot skills, and no problem with passing.

Pellegrino is bulky because he is tall and good at heading. It does not meet the requirements of Valencia tactics.

Manuel Pellegrino is actually an excellent traditional centre-back, with excellent frontal defensive ability, excellent header defense, tenacity, experience and toughness. Whichever team you go to, there's a good way out.

But helplessly he was in Valencia.

These strengths of his have become his weaknesses under the Mad Dog tactical system.

He is bulky, slow, has a small range of motion, is too poor in passing the ball forward, and has low tactical literacy.

After staying for two seasons, Chang Sheng found that he really couldn't practice, so he pushed him into the transfer market.

Pellegrino had the same intentions, having made no more than 20 league appearances in his two seasons at Valencia. Obviously, he wasn't in the plan to win.

At the age of thirty-two, he was not reconciled to sit on the bench all the time. Although Valencia has been on good momentum in the past two years, he can also win the title if he stays in the team.

However, Pellegrino still decided to leave the champions Valencia and go to a team that can give him a chance to play consistently.

There is no shortage of suitors for players like Manuel Pellegrino in the transfer market.

In the end, he was bought by Sevilla, who spent five million euros to get him.

After selling Pellegrino, Chang Sheng will have to consider buying a central defender to supplement the team.

Next season, your team will have to fight on three fronts, and if you want to go on all three fronts, you must strengthen the team's backline.

He wasn't very happy with Navarro's performance, who played a few games last season and didn't let the winning show the bright spots.

He planned to loan Navarro out for exercise, and he was reluctant to sell Navarro directly. After all, he was the defender of the Spanish national team in the 2008 European Cup, even if he was a water cooler keeper, at least he had the ability to be selected for the national team.

With Navarro on loan and Manuel Pellegrino on loan, Valencia is left with only three centre-backs – Ayala, Carvalho and Marchena – who must be supplemented at centre-back.

However, there is also a particular point in buying a central defender.

Because I bought a rotation player, I couldn't buy a star who had already made a name for himself in Europe. Otherwise, those famous stars are not willing to rotate.

But you can't use players who are too young, because these players are inexperienced and can't form a fighting force right away. They can be a ticking time bomb at the back because of their lack of experience on the pitch when they need them.

Both experienced and capable, because of his age, he is willing to rotate and will not ask for the playing time of the absolute main force.

But the problem is that there are many centre-backs in the world who meet this requirement, but at the same time, it is not easy to find a centre-back who meets this requirement and is also suitable for Valencia's tactics.

ps, let's go to Wuhan to attend a friend's wedding, and take my wife out to play by the way. My wife hasn't left home since I gave birth, and I've been focusing on new books for the past five months.

Now that my children are more than eight months old, I owe my wife a lot of travel plans.

But there has been no chance of cashing in. This time, I took the opportunity to attend a friend's wedding to compensate her a little.

So for four days from the 11th to the 14th, I don't go out with my laptop, and I don't know how to code.

I hope to be able to relax and accompany my wife.

Because there are not many manuscripts in storage, only two updates per day can be guaranteed in these four days to ensure continuous updates.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

After all, I also have my own family to take care of...... If it weren't for my friend's marriage this time, I really don't know when I would be able to take my wife out to play, and I can't accompany her when she goes shopping on weekdays, so let me fulfill my obligations as a husband this time.

Thank you for your understanding and support one last time.

(To be continued.)
