Chapter 249 Leaving, Leaving

When Chang Sheng came out of his office, he was shocked because there was someone standing at the door.

"Scared me... Ah, Mr. Chairman..." Chang Sheng discovered that the person standing at the door was the club chairman Jaime Otti.

"It's the former chairman." Otti said to Chang Sheng with a smile.

"Uh, why are you here? No, I'm not saying you shouldn't be here...I just find it surprising..."

"I want to say goodbye, come to see you, Chang."

So Chang Sheng, who was planning to lock the door, reopened the office door: "Let's go in and chat."

After the two walked in, Chang Sheng rummaged through the box to find a cup to entertain the club chairman.

"No, I'll just sit for a while." Otti organized Chang Sheng to find the cup among a lot of paper materials and video tapes.

Then he began to look at this not-so-big office.

The room was cluttered, and the desktop was covered with various things, mainly papers and videotapes.

Even the TV set in one corner of the room has a tall stack of video cassette boxes. The bookcases on both walls are also full of various materials. It feels like Chang Sheng has moved the club's video library into his office.

Next to his desk, there is a white re-erasable writing board, on which there is still a tactical map of the last game against Racing Santander, where you can see his offensive and offensive strategies for each player in their respective positions. Defensive duties are scheduled.

Otti noticed that next to Ronaldinho's name, it read "Pass to Arbeloa on the wing, pass to the center, long-distance crosses as appropriate..."

He thought of the just-concluded game against Santander. Ronaldinho was indeed passing the ball a lot in the game, and in the previous game he passed the ball and did all kinds of tricks to please the audience. completely different.

But I have to admit that even if it's just passing the ball, Ronaldinho can always pass it more beautifully, creatively and accurately than ordinary people.

Although Ronaldinho received criticism from the media during this period, thinking that he was in a sluggish state, when Otti saw this tactical board, he felt that the slump was only temporary, and Ronaldinho would definitely return. At his peak, the entire Mestalla will cheer for him.

Thirty-seven million euros must be worth the money.

Ottie glanced across the tactical board and looked around the room.

This is the Valencia head coach's office, from which was born the "mad dog tactic" admired by the whole world, where two league titles, a Copa del Rey title and a Spanish Super Cup title were born.

Otti once saw in the media that some people called what Chang Sheng created in Valencia a "Chinese miracle".

Perhaps few people will know that the place where China's miracle was born is so... dirty and messy.

Speaking of it, I am ashamed, he has been the chairman of the club for two years, and he came to the head coach's office for the first time when he was about to step down. In the past, when he went to Chang Sheng for business, he always asked Chang Sheng to go to his office.

Now he felt that what he did as the chairman seemed a little unqualified. Far less dedicated than the head coach in front of him.

After looking around, he set his sights on Chang Sheng again.

"I think you already know that," he said.

Chang Sheng nodded and hummed.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that I would leave the position of chairman in such a way." Otti smiled. "I thought I would work for at least six years and then become the most successful chairman in the history of the Valencia club. As long as you are here, I believe I can do it. But unfortunately..."

He fell silent.

Chang Sheng didn't answer, just looked at him.

It was the second time he had seen a Chairman's farewell.

It's just that Flores saw it before leaving.

Both of them were a little unwilling.

"The relationship between Sorel and you is not very good. What will you do if I leave?"

Chang Sheng asked: "Or to tell the truth?"

"Of course it's true."

"To be honest, I don't know." Chang Sheng shrugged.

Ottie nodded: "Well... it's always right to wait and see first. To be honest, I don't want you to leave. Anyway, you still have a two-year contract with the club..."

"There is only one year left, Mr. Chairman." Chang Sheng corrected his mistake.

Ottie was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and then he patted his forehead: "Damn it! If I knew it, I would have given you a three-year or four-year contract!"

They said that when the contract was renewed, Valencia gave Chang Sheng a 21 contract, so in fact Chang Sheng's contract expires next summer. The prerequisite for the remaining one-year contract to be effective is that both parties have no objection to it.

But now it seems that Soler will definitely have objections at first...

Needless to say, both of them knew this.

Since Chang Sheng was brought to Valencia by Otti, he has been defined as Otti's party.

Factional disputes are not China's specialty, they exist all over the world.

Especially in Valencia.

※※※

Ottie really only sat there for a while, then got up to leave.

Before leaving, he grasped the victorious time: "You gave Valencia two league titles, you fulfilled our wish for 30 years, and you also let the team defend the title. You let us beat Real Madrid A team like Barcelona has become a matter of course. Although we have always said that we want to be on an equal footing with Real Madrid and Barcelona and become the third pole of La Liga. But it was not until the first time in your hands that this goal was truly realized. You give This club has brought so much. So if you're going to go, go. I'm sure none of the supporters of this team will curse you."

Chang Sheng smiled and thanked Ottie for his kindness.

In fact, he didn't care whether Valencia would scold him, but he was still very happy to hear Otti's praise.

Always leaving Otti, Chang Sheng went straight to the outside of the training base.

Then outside the base, he saw the club's general manager Pittaqi.

No, I have to say "former general manager" now.

Pitage was obviously waiting for someone. He leaned against his car and looked into the training ground.

When he saw Chang Sheng come out, he won.

"Are you free, Chang?"

Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment.

Do you still have to line up to say goodbye?

He nodded.

"Let's go, have a drink with me." Pitage couldn't help but pull Chang Sheng into the car.

※※※

At the bar, the already-many Pitage looked agitated.

"Do you know who the most respected chairman in Valencia is?" he asked Chang Sheng drunkenly.

Chang Sheng shook his head.

He is just the head coach of this team, and his task is to lead this team to win the championship, and he does not need to learn the historical knowledge of Valencia.

"Ha, that's right, you are an outsider, it's normal that you don't care about the history of the club...Let me tell you, although Luis Casanova is the greatest chairman in the history of the club. But Arturo Tusson. Hill is also respected! Although he is worse than Mr. Casanova in terms of grades, we still think he is the most popular chairman in the history of the club! He took over the club at the most critical moment of the club, let The team was successfully upgraded, and the number of members soared from 16,000 to more than 30,000... No, I'm not going to give you a history lesson now..."

Chang Sheng looked at this incoherent general manager of the club... the former general manager, and was speechless.

"What I want to tell you is that Mr. Tusson has long seen the disadvantages of shareholding system reform. He said this: 'The shareholding system reform will cause different shareholders to fight for the club's interests. Such reform measures will bring There will be extremely serious consequences!' He was right! Although Valencia had its own moments of economic crisis when we were still in the membership era, we were always able to get out of the predicament under an excellent chairman. But since the shareholding reform After that, there will be no peace at the top of the Valencia club!"

"Roig and Soler's father, Bautista Roig, has upgraded from a dark battle to a bright sword. During Cortez's tenure, there are still undercurrents surging inside. Until now, Soler has won, and We were kicked out... You see, Chang, this is Valencia. No matter how good you do, after the change of power, you are worthless. When you have been used, they will lose interest in you... I don't intend to continue working in this club. But with my resume, it is not difficult to become the general manager of another club... How about it, Chang? Come with me? The two of us will definitely become Spain The best partner in the football world! I will give you the power you want! I will give you the right to transfer and sign the contract!"

Pitage looked at Chang Sheng with red eyes.

Chang Sheng smiled.

If he really wants to go, he is still thinking about taking Rudy Gonzalez and Elias Dominique.

Unexpectedly, Pitage was poaching him here.

However, although working with Pitage is pleasant most of the time, there is no need for him to follow Pitage.

He has to walk his own way, he is not used to letting others control his own destiny.

So he smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still don't know where I will go back in the future."

"Do you still think you can stay, Chang? You first think about how Sorel treats us, then he will treat you the same way!"

"Yes, I know. But I don't care. It's not my loss that I leave Valencia, it's Valencia's."

Chang Sheng said.

Pitage stared at Chang Sheng for a long time, then lowered his head and said: "I thought of what you said when you joined the team. You said that Valencia is lucky to be able to only be in Valencia. I was thinking, my God , Where does this lunatic come from so confident! What he said will only make him the public enemy of Valencia! But I didn't expect... You are right, Chang. If you leave Valencia, then it is not your loss, but Valencia's loss. If Soler wants to fire you, let him regret it!"

In the end, Pittaqi drank a lot and talked a lot. He even talked about how unwilling he was when Otti asked him to delegate power to Chang Sheng. Of course, later he was convinced.

He said a lot, nothing more than complaining that the high-level struggle of the Valencia club was too cruel, saying that he had many things that he had not performed in Valencia, and that Soler would definitely not end well...

Chang Sheng basically couldn't get in the conversation, he just kept listening to Pitage's nagging.

He looked at the chattering Pitage and thought of Ottie.

They are also leaving. Some people leave seemingly peacefully but are actually unwilling to leave, while others leave full of complaints.

What would it be like to leave? (to be continued)
