Chapter 79 Preheating (3/136)

Prior to this, Chang Sheng had never announced that he would lead the team to the league championship.

In fact, even the players don't know.

Chang Sheng only revealed his ambitions to club chairman Otti and general manager Pitaci-that was before he signed as Valencia coach.

If both Ottie and Pitazzi at that time just regarded what Changsheng said as a job-hunting strategy-say something confident to attract the attention of the examiner and hope to win-then they may now I really have to start thinking about winning the championship seriously.

Chang Sheng didn't even say anything inside the team, mainly because he didn't want to put too much pressure on the team at the beginning of the league, and he didn't know how he could do in Valencia. At the beginning, he didn't know what his training results were.

If big words are released at this time, it is easy for the players to feel nervous and stressed, and feel that the head coach is too unreliable.

So at that time, Chang Sheng chose to hide his strength and bide his time, accumulating strength.

Up to now, they have been unbeaten in ten rounds of the league, ranking first, leaving second-placed Barcelona by as much as eight points.

For Chang Sheng, the time has come.

In fact, the declaration of winning the championship has always been in the heart of Changsheng, and it has never been forgotten. As time goes by, with each victory in each game, this year becomes more and more intense. It's like a fire, there was only a small spark at the beginning, but now it has ignited the entire grassland!

It has become a prairie fire!

Chang Sheng felt that if he didn't speak out, this tone might be vented.

The only regret is that they only drew with Deportivo in the away game. If they captured the Riazor Stadium, it would be even more shocking to say this.

He also believes that what he said now should not surprise or shock his players, nor would he put too much pressure on them.

With the current performance and ranking of the team, if there are still players who feel that they cannot win the league championship, then such players should go directly to the B team.

Chang Sheng thought so.

He has the heart of a champion himself. He wants... no, he wants his players to have the heart of a champion.

The La Liga title is much harder to win than the La Liga title.

You can't just rely on his own ability. It takes the whole team to unite and work hard for one goal.

So at this time, he finally threw out the championship declaration.

If it was before that, perhaps he would have caused a lot of laughter when he said that. Just like he declared at the press conference that he would lead Getafe, which has not paid a salary for two months, to win the second division championship.

But this time. No one can laugh anymore.

Everyone is seriously thinking about whether such a Valencia team can really win the league title-it seems that they hope very much.

Although there have only been ten rounds in the league, and there are still twenty-two rounds before the league champion is decided, at least Valencia will become a strong contender for the league title this season.

※※※

The next day, all the media were reporting Chang Sheng's "Declaration of Champions".

"...Chang once again made his 'championship agreement'. But unlike when he was with Getafe last season, this time he threw out this declaration early..."

"Ten unbeaten rounds gave Chang confidence. But this confidence is very reasonable. His team is the best performer in the First Division this season..."

"Championship! Chang said something like this after the game against Deportivo. Really bold. But it makes sense. If such a performance dare not dream of a championship, then what team is qualified to pursue it champion?"

...

The media in Valencia are naturally cheering and happy for Valencia's future.

The new mouthpiece of the Valencia Club, the "Provincial Daily", advocated the most positively. They praised Chang Sheng's coaching level and looked forward to the future of Valencia.

The media in the Madrid area was upset by Chang Sheng's remarks.

Because Chang Sheng said so, he obviously didn't take the defending champion Real Madrid seriously.

Real Madrid said before the season that their goal this season is to win the league championship, and that posture is completely as if they have already taken the league championship as their own. He didn't pay attention to other teams in La Liga at all.

Real Madrid naturally has such an aura. They are the defending champions. They also have the most expensive player in the world. With their background and history, why can't they say such a thing?

But after the start of the new season, Valencia and Changsheng came out.

And Real Madrid themselves did not perform well. In the first round of the league, Valencia made a 0:5, which was really bad for morale.

It is only now that Real Madrid is slowly recovering.

The ranking in the league also rose to fourth. Only behind Valencia, Barcelona and Deportivo.

After all, this ranking has entered the Champions League area.

After being depressed for half a season, the media in Madrid can finally start to look forward to the league championship.

Next year will be the centenary of Real Madrid. Everyone in Real Madrid likes to get a league championship as a commemoration.

But now Chang Sheng opens his mouth and is about to snatch the championship from Real Madrid, how can Real Madrid bear it?

not to mention. They still have grievances in the first half of the season.

The "Mestalla tragedy" is still vivid, and the scars on Real Madrid's body are still not fully healed-Pa was sent back to the B team not long after that game, and stayed for two months before returning first team. Now playing as a substitute in the team, slowly accumulating experience.

Florentino no longer mentions Zidanegapa's policy.

The media also mentioned this policy with a sarcastic tone.

I finally hit my head and came up with a genius idea, which actually let Chang Sheng break it in just one game.

Can Florentino be relieved?

Now that Valencia announces that they want to win the championship, it is really a new and old hatred...

Although there is still more than a month before the second half of the season, the media in Madrid have already shouted "See you in the 20th round!"

They're already warming up for that game.

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't pay attention to Madrid's opinion.

He won the championship and never looked at other people's opinions and faces.

He just needs to do his own thing.

Next up is the Copa del Rey match.

Valencia has drawn a good lottery, and their opponent is a team in Group B of the second division. Chang Sheng has never heard of this team before-Hesbituler.

Originally, Chang Sheng was making a training plan for this game, but he heard the latest news-Hesbitule was disqualified, so Valencia was automatically promoted!

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the news was true.

Then he had to feel the wonder of the Copa del Rey.

In fact, at the turn of the century, the Copa del Rey was indeed underestimated many times.

But this time it was clearly not underestimated.

Because it is impossible for the teams in Group B of the second division to underestimate the Copa del Rey.

Instead, they take it very seriously.

So why was it still disqualified?

Because the third round of the Copa del Rey match is a home and away game. In the first round, Hesbitule is at home, and the game should be played at their home court.

But Hesbituler's home court is too small, and the safety is also worrying. Their opponent in this game is a strong team like Valencia. It is expected that many fans will come to watch the game live. This further deepened the Spanish Football Association's concerns about the safety of Hesbitule's home court.

So they asked Hesbituler to change the home court and switch to an upright venue.

However, Hesbituler rejected this request due to considerations such as his own home ticket income.

The Spanish Football Association can still kill disobedient clubs. I think Barcelona refused to participate in the King's Cup because of the lack of lineup. It was also blocked by the Spanish Football Association for a while.

Even Barcelona is like this, not to mention the little Hesbitule?

Seeing that such a small team was so disobedient, the Spanish Football Association simply announced that Hesbituler would lose his qualification for the Copa del Rey, and Valencia would automatically advance to the next round.

So the victorious team has inexplicably become the biggest beneficiary and lucky one of this round of the King's Cup.

It is still very important for Changsheng to miss two King's Cup games. He can put more of his mind on the league, and at the same time, Valencia's players will not have to waste energy in two unimportant Copa del Rey games, increasing the risk of injury.

The next game is to play the Spaniard away. Because of such a chance to rest, Changsheng can naturally send the strongest lineup to the away game.

In the end, Valencia defeated the Spaniard 3:1 away and continued to remain unbeaten.

Ibrahimovic still did not play in this game, although he performed well as a substitute in the last league game.

It's just that this time he has more time to play.

Because Villa was injured just five minutes into the second half... so Zlatan Ibrahimovic rushed into the game.

But he performed well, and he scored a goal that completely sealed the victory for the team at the last moment. Help the team finally beat the Spaniard 3:1.

Competitors get hurt. He scored a goal in the game again. It seems that Ibrahimovic is going to be restored...

Next, with only two games left, Valencia will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid will usher in their moment of revenge.

As for Chang Sheng, all the media wanted to see if he could use actual actions to prove his determination to be the champion...

The outcome of a game may not explain the problem. But the significance of this game is unusual.

It's similar to when he played Getafe against Sevilla.

If Valencia can get out of the Bernabeu in a non-opportunistic way. Confidence in the Valencia team is definitely a qualitative improvement.

In this way, no matter what kind of opponent you face later. No matter how difficult the situation is, Valencia can overcome it.

Another 10,000 steps back, even if the points are the same as Real Madrid in the end, Valencia will be more dominant when it is necessary to compete for the relationship between the two sides.

So this game, to put it more seriously, might really be the key battle to determine the championship of a season! . . )
