Chapter 252 Don't You Want Me, Coach?
After the end of the seventeenth round of the league, it was December 21. After this game, La Liga entered the winter break. According to tradition, each club will have a Christmas dinner before Christmas. It's just that the Christmas dinner of the rich clubs has attracted media attention, but no one cares about the grassroots teams.
This time Valencia also held a Christmas dinner in accordance with the tradition. Even because the chairman of the club has just been replaced, the Christmas dinner this time was quite grand.
It seems to be to show the style and demeanor of the new chairman.
But the actual situation is that under the grand and gorgeous appearance, this year's Christmas dinner has a strange atmosphere.
Many people who were familiar to everyone have left the club, and there are some new faces in the club.
Such a Christmas dinner always has a sense of awkwardness.
Everyone couldn't even speak freely.
Chang Sheng was not arranged to sit at the same table with the club chairman, directors and shareholders this time.
In fact, with Chang Sheng's current achievements and status, he should enjoy such treatment.
But now the club's president is Soler, not Otti.
So Chang Sheng can only sit at a table with his own players.
But Chang Sheng felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he didn't want to sit at the same table with a group of sycophants who only knew how to flatter and flatter Soler.
At that time, if there are too many words without speculation, maybe he will directly flip the table.
—It kind of rhymes!
In fact, from the arrangement of this seat, it can be seen that Soler is really an extreme person, and he has done a good job in eliminating dissidents.
In Otti's time, everyone had a Christmas dinner, although there were frictions on weekdays. But no matter which faction they belong to, they can always sit at the same table and eat. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be a few quarrels, just like Chang Sheng's fight with Soler back then.
But at least they could still sit together. Otti did not take advantage of his chairmanship to forcefully intervene and engage in factional struggles in festive occasions such as Christmas dinners.
And these disappeared after Soler came to power.
Let's take a look at the seating arrangements for everyone at the Christmas dinner,
Soler's faction gathered in the center, surrounding the table where Soler was sitting like stars. It fully highlights the lofty status of the club chairman.
The faction of Otti, who lost the struggle, was all driven to the edge. Otti and his supporters seemed to be alone, very lonely and bored.
During the dinner, Soler enjoyed everyone's praise for him, and was full of longing for Valencia's bright future under his leadership.
The sycophants have said that Valencia is under the great leadership of President Soler. It will definitely go from glory to glory. Realize the great revival of the Valencia club!
Chang Sheng sneered when he heard it at another table.
He knows the virtues of Valencia under Soler's rule, and the debt has climbed from 200 million euros to a maximum of 800 million euros!
Such a troublesome chairman, looking at the whole of Europe, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a second one.
That's the level of leadership. Are you still counting on a great revival?
It's a great joke, right?

After the boring Christmas dinner, Chang Sheng left Valencia again, this time naturally to find Avril.
He and Avril Lavigne agreed to spend Christmas together every year. If he is inconvenient, Avril Lavigne will come to him. If Avril Lavigne is inconvenient. Then go find Avril by yourself.
Every year at this time, Chang Sheng would be particularly emotional, feeling that year after year passed so quickly amidst the busyness of the two of them.
Whether it is myself or Avril Lavigne, their careers are on the rise and they are very busy.
Usually get together less and leave more.
So every year Christmas becomes very meaningful.
Getting together once a year seems like a ritual.
※※※
After the Christmas vacation with Avril Lavigne, Chang Sheng returned to Spain again.
He will be extra busy this season.
He has to attack both the league and the Champions League.
He has ambitions in the league and wants to win three consecutive championships. Any dynasty needs three consecutive championships, and he wants to build a dynasty in Valencia. Even because of Soler's existence, this goal of three consecutive championships cannot be missed.
As for the Champions League, he also wants to see what is different in higher places.
But just after returning to Spain, he received a call from Reyes. Or strictly speaking, the plane just landed, and Chang Sheng just took out his phone and turned it on. I got a call from Reyes.
On the phone, Reyes looked disappointed and frustrated. He asked Chang Sheng: "Don't you need me, coach?"
Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment. I didn't react at all - where is this and where is it?
If a woman calls and asks Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng will seriously think about whether he drank too much one night. Sowed a debt.
But a man said to himself resentfully, "Don't you want me?" Chang Sheng felt that there must be something wrong in this world.
To make this clear, he asked, "What's the matter, Jose? What happened?"
"Aren't you going to sell me?" Jose Reyes' voice was pitiful as if he had just been dumped by his girlfriend.
Chang Sheng let out an "ah".
sale?
I have been in the United States and I am on a complete vacation. How can I sell players?
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he caught on to something crucial.
"Who informed you of the transfer?" he asked.
Reyes also seems to have discovered that the situation is not what he imagined.
"It's... uh, it's Sanchez, the club's manager."
As soon as Chang Sheng heard the name, he understood: Sure enough!
Sanchez is Soler's confidant. After Soler came to power, Pitage resigned and Sanchez was supported.
However, Chang Sheng has never dealt with Sanchez, and after Sanchez became the general manager of the club, the two have no communication.
They treat each other as air.
Soler is unhappy with himself, and Sanchez, who is Soler's confidant, naturally also feels unhappy with himself.
It doesn't matter to Chang Sheng, if you see me unhappy, I also see you unhappy. But it's right not to provoke me. Let's keep the water in the well, just give me a calm until the end of the season.
Who would have thought that this was just wishful thinking.
How could Soler allow him to comfortably lead the team until the end of the season?
So he asked: "What's going on specifically, can you tell me in detail?"
Then Reyes began to tell Chang Sheng what happened.
Just now, Sanchez called Reyes and told him that the club planned to sell him because many clubs were interested in Reyes. Among them are teams from other national leagues, such as giants like Arsenal.
Sanchez told Reyes that the club considers that this is an excellent opportunity for Reyes himself, so he intends to fulfill Reyes.
But Reyes didn't want to go at all.
He told Sanchez that he was willing to stay in Valencia, but Sanchez didn't listen at all.
Reyes, who hung up the phone, thought about it. I don't think it's right.
The club's attitude is so firm... Could it be that the head coach agreed? Because in the team. Only the head coach has the power to decide who goes and who stays.
If Chang Sheng hadn't nodded, how could Sanchez call himself?
But why did the head coach agree to sell himself?
Is it because you didn't perform well?
After Vicente was injured, Reyes became the main force, and his performance in the game was also very good.
After two seasons of tempering. Today, Reyes has matured a lot and is at home in Valencia's tactics.
As of the seventeenth round of the league, he had three goals and four assists in the league. There is also a goal and two assists in the Champions League.
A total of six assists, second only to Deco with seven assists. Tied with Villa and Ronaldinho for second place in the assists list.
With such an outstanding performance, why did the head coach sell himself?
Is it because Vicente is back?
The more Reyes thought about it, the more likely it was.
After all, compared with Vicente, he was still too young. Vicente is an old courtier who has served in Valencia for many years.
Before the injury, he has always been the team's main force on the left...
But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t play the main force. In Valencia, everyone has the opportunity to play. He can be a substitute, and he can have many opportunities. He is not greedy...
Why did the head coach sell himself?
Reyes really couldn't figure it out, and finally called Chang Sheng.
Hit the first ever victorious on the plane. He turned off his mobile phone, so when he dialed, he would be prompted "The user you dialed has turned off his phone".
He didn't know Chang Sheng's whereabouts, he thought Chang Sheng turned off his phone to avoid himself.
But Reyes showed a rare tenacity in this incident.
Chang Sheng turned off the phone, and he made calls again and again. He didn't believe that Chang Sheng would keep shutting down the phone.
It turned out just right, Chang Sheng just got off the plane. Turning on the phone, Reyes' call came in.
In fact, Reyes didn't need to talk about his despair and helplessness when he called Chang Sheng again and again.
Chang Sheng already knew what was going on.
Obviously, Soler has started to do something to his team, and he is not willing to take the transfer power into his own hands. He wants to take control of the team himself.
I had no prior knowledge of selling Reyes. It is estimated that the media do not know, Soler has done a good job of keeping this matter secret...
If it wasn’t for Reyes’ deep and close relationship with me, I couldn’t figure it out, so I called and questioned myself, I’m afraid I would have been kept in the dark until the media reported that Reyes was holding the jersey of another team. Only when I took the photo did I know that Reyes had become a player of another team.
It seems that they still know what to do behind their backs...
But they certainly didn't expect that Reyes would call themselves to let them know what they were doing in advance... The conspiracy was revealed just because of a phone call. If Soler knew the cause and effect, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood depressedly.
Chang Sheng was also lucky. If it wasn't for this phone call, he would have lost a capable player in vain, which might have fatal consequences for the second half of the season... Reyes has performed very well this season. In the position of the right winger, he can cut inside and shoot, and he can also pass assists, and his speed and technique can single-handedly disrupt the opponent's defense.
On Valencia's front line, Reyes on the right, Ronaldinho on the left, and Villa in the middle are much easier.
If Reyes is really sold and Vicente can't play on the right, Angulo and Mista are both weaker than Reyes. In addition, the right back Paulo Ferreira is relatively conservative and usually does not assist easily. Without Reyes, Valencia's attack on the right would have paralyzed at least two-thirds of it.
So Reyes absolutely cannot leave. Even if Vicente returns from injury, Chang Sheng has no intention of moving Reyes' position.
Fortunately, he didn't make a big mistake in the end. Reyes called himself now, which shows that there is still room for maneuver.
I will let you know what happens to those who touch Lao Tzu!
In addition to being angry, Chang Sheng also suddenly had an illusion that his manager who coached Valencia was not a football novel, but a Gongdou drama...
Damn, did I enter the wrong set?
