Chapter 187: 6 Goals and 6 Points
After Valencia played the first Champions League game against Liverpool, the Spanish media was full of praise. Although Chang Sheng is not very popular among the Spanish media, it is only a contradiction among the people after all. Everyone can do whatever they want behind closed doors. Playing in the Champions League is a foreign war, and each team represents the image of Spanish national football.
Therefore, when fighting in the European war, the Spanish media still have to be consistent with the outside world.
Valencia played beautifully and beat Liverpool with three goals. This is indeed worthy of special mention and praise.
The media in England was full of wailing.
They didn't expect that the mighty Liverpool would lose so cleanly in the away game.
Some English media thought that this game might be very difficult, but they felt that winning this game should not be a problem.
I didn't expect not only not to win, but also to lose so badly, so easily. Anyone who watched the game would think it was reasonable for Liverpool to lose, they didn't have a chance at all in the game.
After the game, in addition to discussing Liverpool's failure, the media in England were also discussing Valencia's tactics. However, their discussion was very limited. After all, the overall tactical literacy of English football is not high, and it has something to do with everyone's lack of interest in tactics.
However, Valencia's novel tactics still attracted the attention of many people.
They have also seen Valencia's game tactics in other places before, but they don't understand it deeply after all. This game gave these Englishmen the most intuitive feeling.
Some people of insight in English football even exclaimed: It turns out that football in continental Europe has evolved to this point!
In fact, they are overthinking... Valencia football does not represent European football at all. Valencia football leads not only England, but also the whole of Europe for at least six years.
The Chinese media also paid close attention to this game.
Because this is the Champions League. In the minds of Chinese media and fans, the status of the Champions League is paramount, second only to the World Cup. Chang Sheng's achievements in La Liga are not as important as those in the Champions League.
The team led by Chang Sheng was able to beat Liverpool 3-0 in the Champions League, which made many Chinese fans very happy.
Especially after the "Today Morning Post" published a full page of Chang Sheng's special interview with our reporter. Through this interview, many Chinese fans have learned a relatively real Chang Sheng, although confidence is still not complete,
But it is better than the news heard from other media. Those media things about winning. Either it was hearsay, pieced together, or simply made up.
Through this interview, many fans realized that Chang Sheng they knew before was Chang Sheng after the media fabricated and smeared them. A real Changsheng is like what the reporter named Ji Leng wrote in his interview notes.
It should be "humorous and funny. But it will also be very serious and serious. An ordinary person who has his own bottom line that cannot be violated, has principles, works hard, and lives an ordinary life. He is no different from everyone around us, except that he is in In addition to talent and ability in football coaching. Any smear and excessive flattery are unnecessary..."
Previously on the Internet, Chinese fans' evaluation of Chang Sheng was very divided. While admitting that he has two brushes in coaching the team, they also felt headaches about Chang Sheng's poor personal image.
Now. They were finally relieved - it turned out that it was not Chang Sheng's bad personal image, but the media's deliberate smearing.
In this way, when they cheer for Chang Sheng's victory, they will feel at ease, and will not be like before, when they are cheering for Chang Sheng, they will always feel that there is something wrong with this person's character...

After this Champions League game, "Today Morning Post" is also ready to sign a contract, intending to take advantage of the regular victories to lead the team to the first victory in the Champions League. Then
This matter was announced when they first published the interview. It caused an uproar in China's domestic media circles.
No one expected that the "Today Morning Post", which is not a professional sports newspaper, was able to get Chang Sheng's exclusive interview, which was surprising enough. Did not expect them to go further. Became the official cooperative media authorized by Changsheng...
What can they do?
Other media analyzed the reasons for Chang Sheng's decision from various angles. They analyzed from the influence of "Today Morning Post" in the Yangtze River Delta region, from the scale of "Today Morning Post", and from the background of the group behind "Today Morning Post"... . But no one could have imagined that the person who played a key role in this matter was an ordinary little reporter.
After the preparations and publicity were done, the leadership of "Morning Today" flew to Valencia collectively. Participating in this cooperation signing ceremony fully reflects the importance they attach to this matter-now is the era of Chinese football, and they have also tasted the sweetness of cooperation with Changsheng from the previous interview.
The cooperation signing ceremony invited all the sub-media of the group to which "Today Morning Post" belongs to come to build momentum, and some other media with good relations with "Today Morning Post" also came to report. There were even two Valencia media outlets who came to join in the fun, giving the "Today Morning Post" a lot of face.
The two parties signed under the lens of the camera and the flash, and the contract was valid for one year.
During this year, "Today Morning Post" has been Changsheng's spokesperson in China.
If the cooperation between the two parties is satisfactory, the contract can be continued after one year.
At the signing ceremony, Ji Leng, as Chang Sheng's exclusive reporter, also appeared in front of the camera.
The leader of the newspaper office patted him on the shoulder to thank him for his efforts, and the photos encouraging him to keep working hard and work hard were sent back to the domestic editorial department the next day.
It attracted the envy of many people, thinking why didn't he go to Valencia to interview Chang Sheng by himself? Otherwise, it's your turn to show off now...
As for the feelings of that editor-in-chief Wang... No one cares anymore.
In addition, taking the opportunity of signing with "Today Morning Post" as an opportunity, Chang Sheng finally lifted the ban on interviewing Chinese journalists. He clearly told the media at the press conference of the signing that anyone can come to interview him now, and he will never refuse without reason. their interview.
but.
But the reporter of "Sports Weekly" is still excluded.
As long as it was an interview with "Sports Weekly", he refused all of them.
He is the person who pays most attention to the traditional virtues of doing what he says. He said that he would block "Sports Weekly", and he would make "Sports Weekly" regret it forever.
He doesn't care if "Sports Weekly" is the largest professional sports newspaper in China.
Let him be unhappy for a while, and he will make the other party unhappy forever.
For "Sports Weekly", when Chang Sheng announced the ban on interviews with all Chinese media at the beginning, they felt that it didn't matter, because no one could interview them, so they didn't feel deeply.
But now when all Chinese media can interview Chang Sheng. But only when they failed, this huge gap appeared, and "Sports Weekly" finally felt the power of Chang Sheng's "doing what he says".
The so-called don't suffer from poverty, but suffer from inequality.
Anyone can, just "Sports Weekly" can't. They are excluded. They were left out in the cold. They have been treated unfairly.
But so what?
Who Chang Sheng is willing to accept interviews and who he is not willing to accept interviews is entirely up to Chang Sheng himself. No one can control it, not even the Central Propaganda Department. That is to say, if Chang Sheng doesn't change his mind. "Sports Weekly" will always be treated differently.
For the first time, they began to seriously reflect and regret how they had offended such a plague god in the first place...

In the third round of the league, considering that there is still a flight to distant Moscow in the middle of the week to participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage, so this game is always victorious and continues to rotate, most of them are substitutes.
In the end, Valencia drew 2:2 with Malaga on the road.
Although not winning. But their unbeaten record continues. They are now unbeaten in 41 league games.
After the game, the team had a day off, and then flew to Moscow after the team training the next day.
They got there early, partly to get used to the venue, but mostly to beat the jet lag.
Going to Russia to play an away game is different from going to other European regions because it is too far away. If you're not jet-lagged, the players will feel fatigued and get tired easily. The status can't come out either.
Playing away at Sparta Moscow, Valencia's tactics remain unchanged.
Chang Sheng believes that Valencia's mad dog tactics are now basically mature, and can be used to the point where it can respond to all changes without change.
Anyway, the team's tactics are ahead of this era, and there is no need to worry about being researched by the opponent for a while. Even in the future, Barcelona is so arrogant. Countless teams have studied how to break them, but isn't the result also very few?
The game against Liverpool proved the power of the Mad Dog tactics, and against Sparta Moscow, Chang Sheng does not intend to change tactics.
that's it. Mad Dog Valencia, who played with all the main players, won another 3:0 away game.
Clean and neat!
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice in the game. Outstanding.
Spartak Moscow coach Romantsev said in an interview after the game that his team was completely stunned by Valencia.
"They just keep passing the ball up the pitch... we can't do anything, bang bang bang bang, and then we lose..."
The head coach shook his head, looking helpless.
"This is football. Although we have home court advantage, the opponent's strength is much stronger than ours..."
After the lottery results came out, Chang Sheng said that they had drawn a good lottery. At that time, Romantsev still seemed very unconvinced, saying that he was not afraid of any champions, because they were the champions of Russia.
But now he doesn't mention it at all.
The Champions League group stage is 3:0 in two games, scoring six goals, not conceding a goal, and accumulating six points. Valencia has already taken the lead in this group.
The situation is clear, and Chang Sheng is in a good mood. He announced that although there will be a league game on the weekend, the whole team can still have a day off.
His decision was greeted with heartfelt cheers from the players.

When Chang Sheng walked out of the airport with the Valencia team, he was warmly welcomed by the Valencia fans who had been waiting here for a long time.
Champions League group stage two victories, scoring six goals, not conceding a goal made Valencia fans very happy, they came to the airport to welcome the triumphant warriors.
The players also enjoy the feeling of interacting with the fans.
But this time, they are not the only protagonists.
The momentum of the Valencia fans was sometimes suppressed.
Not long after they walked out of the exit, the Valencia players suddenly heard screams from the other side, mostly girls and boys.
The screams even overwhelmed the cheers and victories that the Valencia fans gave to the Valencia team.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the past.
I saw a group of rebelliously dressed boys and girls gathered at another pick-up gate, holding up various posters and slogans, waving their arms vigorously, and screaming from their mouths. If you could listen, you'd hear that they were actually calling a person's name.
They were even crazier when someone came out of the exit.
"Lavigne! Lavigne. Avril!! Avril! Avril!! We love you, Avril!!"
These teenagers completely stole the limelight from the Valencia players, and suppressed the Valencia fans who couldn't make a sound...
"Wow, groupies are so crazy!" Rudy Gonzalez next to him couldn't help grinning after being startled by the screams of these teenagers.
"It's nice to be young..."
Chang Sheng turned his head to look over, and saw a petite figure in the crowd. In fact, he wasn't sure if it was her, but the colorful hair made Chang Sheng think it should be her.
As she said on the phone, Lavigne was in Valencia to promote her new record and...for her birthday.
