Chapter 135: Do You Want to Be the King (For the Alliance Leader, Don't Worry About Food)
Chapter 135: Do You Want to Be a King?
In fact, what the media said, the Valencia players who just got off the plane do not know, especially the media in other places, they don't know, local protectionism in various regions of Spain is very heavy, and the media in Madrid may not be able to infiltrate the Valencia region.
Only a major national newspaper like Marca will do, and it will always use a local strategy, such as covering as much local sports news as possible, rather than Real Madrid and Barcelona in its entirety.
But there will always be someone to tell them. For example, the journalists waiting outside the airport.
When Chang Sheng walked out of the exit, reporters surrounded him, and then a reporter asked: "May I ask Mr. Chang, some media think that the reason why your team was eliminated by Inter Milan is because they thought too much about being undefeated in the season before, is that so?" ”
When Chang Sheng heard this question, his pupils shrank.
It was the first time he had heard such a statement.
What does a UEFA Cup elimination have to do with an unbeaten league run?
"I don't understand." He shook his head.
"The newspaper "As" wrote today that Valencia was eliminated because the team was all focused on the unbeaten league and did not face up to their opponents, so they were eliminated by Inter Milan......
The journalist did not continue, as his words were interrupted by Chang Sheng's laughter.
"My team was distracted because they wanted to be unbeaten in the league before the game, so they lost the game? Ha! He laughed. It's impossible, it's nothing, it's nonsense! ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Just kidding, it's not clear to the players themselves?
During that time, the whole team was thinking about the UEFA Cup, and no one cared about any unbeaten season - he made it clear before training that everyone should not think about what unbeaten season they were, but focus on the UEFA Cup competition.
In fact, judging from the situation in training, the players really didn't think about being unbeaten in a season, maybe they themselves felt that the goal was not reliable.

Although Chang Sheng refuted the rumors in the media at the airport, it is now an era when no one reads the rumors and rumors are flying all over the sky.
So no one believed it at all.
And the media have their own way of making the winning rumors meaningless.
That is to distort right and wrong.
A very simple statement is enough: "Often at the airport to refute rumors? Yes, of course he has to refute the rumors. But what he said wasn't necessarily true. I don't think any manager would admit that......"
Therefore, Chang Sheng's refutation of rumors is all fake, just to cover up the truth.
The truth of the matter is that Valencia's players were unbeaten in the league before the league cup, so they were eliminated.
This is really self-inflicted, and it deserves to be unlucky!
'So it was a joke for Valencia to think about what to run unbeaten in the season from the beginning, and now they have been knocked out of the UEFA Cup. Then then, what season unbeaten will also become a joke......"
※※※
Chang Sheng thought that after he refuted the rumors, it would be time for the wind to calm down, but he didn't expect the wind to become more and more turbulent......
He found that such opinions appeared in newspapers, on television, and even on television programs that seriously discussed the topic.
When Chang Sheng inadvertently swept this show, he angrily scolded the TV station for being stupid*.
What is there to discuss about this kind of question?
**, I'm the head coach, I don't believe what you say, so who do you want to believe?
The people involved are not credible, do you outsiders know more than I do?
Then he saw in the newspaper that the Valencia players themselves stood up to refute the rumors, saying that everyone was sad to lose the League Cup, but it was never because of distraction that led to the loss.
However, it is clear that their refutation of rumors is useless, and the media will say whatever they have to say.
The media in the Madrid area, in particular, are particularly hyped.
In fact, Chang Sheng knows why these media are so energetic. Because when he was coaching in Getafe, he offended a lot of Madrid media. Then after he came to Valencia, he offended a lot of Madrid media when he played against Real Madrid three times.
Now the media covering both the second division and the first division have a deep hatred for Changsheng - except for the media in Getafe, but the media in Getafe have little influence in Madrid's media circles.
So they can't help to win.
These Madrid media, because they have a grudge against them, want to fight Valencia.
I saw the news I searched on the Internet.
Without exception, all of them are using the unbeaten season as an excuse to mock Valencia's defeat in the UEFA Cup and laugh at themselves.
In fact, they don't care if they can achieve an unbeaten season or not, they just want to laugh at themselves.
But one by one, they want to flaunt their special professional authority, and they have cited scriptures to prove how stupid and incredible the idea of an unbeaten season put forward by Valencia some time ago. It seems that this will increase their persuasiveness and make it easier for readers to accept their subsequent ridicule of Valencia and themselves.
Chang Sheng stared at the computer screen and thought about it.
If you don't do anything in this wind, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Because as a head coach, he must protect his team and not let them be subjected to unwarranted accusations and attacks by media opinion.
If he can't do that, then he doesn't deserve the support of the players.
So he has to do something to fight back and also tell the players that he's absolutely on the side of the players.
Just thinking of this, after making a decision in his heart, Chang Sheng heard Lin Mo's voice in his head.
"Chang Sheng, you have a new mission."
This time, Chang Sheng did not enter the system to check, but directly asked: "Is it about the unbeaten season?" ”
"Yes, the new mission requires you to lead your team to an undefeated end of the season." Lin Mo said.
Chang Sheng laughed: "How about the reward?" ”
"Three million experience, one thousand prestige, five hundred energy. Training skills、、、、、。 Match Skills, Level 2. ”
Lin Mo reported so many rewards in one go, and Chang Sheng was stunned when he heard it.
There are six training skills, plus one competition skill!
With so many rewards, I want to be undefeated this season!

The next day, the team resumed training in preparation for the weekend's league game.
Valencia host Osasuna.
Before starting training, Chang Sheng called all the players in front of him, and he had something to say.
"No one wants to see them knocked out of the UEFA Cup, but there's no need to keep that in mind. We have another goal, and in my opinion, it's much more important than the UEFA Cup, and of course it's much more difficult. ”
When he said that, the players looked at him and didn't understand what could be more important than the UEFA Cup, and it was more difficult.
The league title may be more important than the UEFA Cup, but the league title is no longer difficult.
After drawing 2-2 away at Rayo Vallecano in the previous league round, Valencia are now thirteen points ahead of second-placed Deportivo La Coruna.
With eight rounds left in the league and sooner or later Valencia will always win the title. Because even Valencia's own players don't think they're going to collapse in the final minute of the league.
Now that they have been eliminated from the League Cup, the Copa del Rey final is over, there is only the league left to play, the players are full of energy, there are not many injuries, and there are not many injuries.
So they all wondered what the manager was talking about.
"I've noticed a talk in the media in the last two days that they think that the reason why we lost to Inter Milan and we were eliminated was because we were all about being unbeaten in the season. They reminded me. Why didn't we end the season unbeaten? How difficult is it to win a league title? It's only a matter of time before we get it, sooner or later. The really difficult thing is to be unbeaten in the season! ”
The winning words scared the players.
They didn't expect the goal of the manager to turn out to be this!
Unbeaten in the season!
Do you know why Valencia's players really weren't distracted by their unbeaten season in the UEFA Cup?
Because they themselves knew how impossible it was to achieve this goal, they didn't even think about it. After all, what do you do with all the pressure you put on yourself?
An unbeaten season sounds like a good idea, but to do it comes with a lot of pressure.
How good it is to be able to win the championship easily, why not make yourself unhappy?
And listen to the manager, doesn't he think so too?
"Think about it, guys, no team has been able to do that in Spanish football for 70 years, and since the expansion of the first division, there are 38 league games a season, and there is no team that can do that. But! Chang Sheng raised his voice sharply, "But! It's because no team has been able to do it for 70 years, and we have the ability to do it! If there is a team that wins the championship undefeated every few years, then we don't bother to do it! I think we need to prove one thing to the media who are laughing at us and ridiculing us - an unbeaten league is just that, we at Valencia can do it! ”
"That's what I call a more difficult goal. But it's not that difficult, folks. We're 30 games unbeaten and only have eight league games left. An eight-game unbeaten run will do the trick. ”
"Of course I know that the further we go, the more pressure we have. But how is it possible to play football without pressure? Isn't it possible for us to fail in order to remain undefeated? It's like when I was half a season when I shouted that I wanted to win the championship this season, and a lot of people jumped out and said that we couldn't do it, that I was whimsical, that I was bragging. Even the vice-president of Valencia FC thinks that I will put too much pressure on you by announcing the title too early. But are you feeling the pressure? Even with the pressure, don't we continue to sit first in the league now, as many as 13 points ahead of second place? So guys, the pressure counts as a ball! But if you're under pressure, you don't play? If you are under pressure, you can let it go? I tell you, as long as you still want to compete for honor, great pressure will accompany us all the time. This is the price we have to pay as champions. Not just this season, next season, next season...... You're all going to have to go through this pressure with me, because I don't want to win just once! This season's unbeaten run is a test of whether we qualify to be true kings and not just shit stars. Do you want to be kings? ”
Chang Sheng asked in a calm tone, and then he stopped talking, just quietly looking at the players in front of him.

ps, the power outage from 8 a.m. today to now, it's too sad.
During the power outage, I used a laptop and three batteries to relay and write seven chapters.
In the middle, I also went to the supermarket to accompany my family for two hours.
Sometimes, I really don't know whether to hope for a power outage or not want a power outage......
As soon as I came up, I saw the birth of the alliance leader, and hurriedly added more, thank you for the reward of "don't worry about food"!
In addition, I wish "don't worry about food" and be happy!
This chapter is a new alliance leader, and it is not considered to be a debt repayment~
