Chapter 275: Time to Change

Chapter 275: Time to Change

When Valencia was still flying in the sky, the media had already begun to report in depth on the game that had just ended.

For the media, this game was really a gluttonous feast.

Before the game, there were hype and gimmicks, and there were even more after the game.

The biggest hot spot is that Valencia's head coach murderously stated before the game that he eliminated Milan to complete his revenge.

As a result, they lost 0:3 in the away game. This score directly made the second round lose its suspense and meaning.

"This is simply the biggest joke in the Champions League this season!" After the game, Gazzetta dello Sport said sarcastically.

Berlusconi himself also said: "I think my evaluation of Chang before the game is correct. I have never worried that my team will be eliminated by such a team!"

The media have expressed that Milan can consider their opponents in the semi-finals. According to the principle of drawing lots, Milan’s opponents in the semi-finals will be the winners between Monaco and Real Madrid.

For Milan, the best result is that Monaco upset Real Madrid. But Milan's media also declared that their team will not be afraid of the Galacticos Real Madrid.

As for Valencia, who cares about them?

They're just there to be laughed at.

The media in the Madrid area also laughed at Chang Sheng. They shouted so fiercely before the game that they lost the game 0:3.

"Losing so badly, I don't even know how he lost..."

"It's really not easy to score three goals in an evenly matched situation...Anyway, I would definitely not be able to do it. I am indeed a high-level coach!"

"The league title can be given to Valencia. It doesn't matter. We already have 28 league titles. For Real Madrid, the Champions League is the highest pursuit. As long as they win another Champions League, Real Madrid can become the only one in Europe. A team that has won ten Champions Leagues!"

Even the local media in Valencia felt that the second round had lost its meaning.

"Being knocked out by the same team twice in a row is kind of mind-boggling. But now is not the time to think about it,

Now we should concentrate on the league. A gap of six points is not enough to secure us the league title..."

"Three consecutive league championships is a remarkable achievement. In my heart, it is no less than winning the Champions League. After all, the league is the foundation..."

The local media in Valencia have shifted their focus to the domestic league.

They began to mention the three consecutive league titles frequently, trying to divert the attention of the fans and let them get rid of the great frustration of Milan being eliminated again in the Champions League.

But there are always different voices.

Soler was interviewed by reporters on the plane returning to Valencia from Milan, Italy that day. He comforted the team, thinking that the team was eliminated by the same team for two consecutive years. It was really bad luck.

He said a word in the interview, which was used as the title by "Super Sports" which interviewed him after the game.

"Maybe it's time for a change," he said.

The title of SuperSports reads: "It's time to change".

The meaning is self-explanatory, and anyone with a normal IQ knows what they're talking about.

What's more, "Super Sports" also wrote a review article to explain their views.

Why is it time to change.

Although Chang Sheng was able to lead the team to two league championships, it seems that there is still hope for three league championships. But as Valencia, our eyes cannot be so superficial, and we only value champions like the domestic league. After consecutive league championships, it shows that Valencia is already a first-class strong team in Spain. We should turn our attention to the Champions League, where the real strong teams should fight.

A team that cannot make a breakthrough in the Champions League will not be able to enter the room no matter how many domestic league titles it wins.

Valencia, coached by Chang Sheng, has been in the quarter-finals of the European competition for three consecutive years. The first time was the UEFA Cup and was eliminated by Inter Milan. In the next two years, the Champions League was eliminated by Milan.

This illustrates a problem-Chang Sheng is not good at playing key battles in the European War.

His team performed well in the group stage because the pressure was low, similar to the nature of the league.

Once the knockout rounds started, the situation was different.

Especially when they face strong teams.

Although the UEFA Cup is all knockout rounds, the opponents are not strong, so the winning teams can go further in the knockout rounds. But once they meet a strong team, their performance can be unstable.

In his first season in charge of Valencia, Valencia's first opponent in the UEFA Cup was Chenu Maurice, a Ukrainian Super League team that played against them in Valencia. Like the media with Valencia fans never heard of this name before.

Next up is Legia Warsaw, a Polish side that is equally obscure.

In the third round, they met the Celtics. This is considered a strong team. The top teams in the Scottish Premier League often perform well in the European arena.

At home, Valencia defeated the opponent 2:0 with home advantage. But when they went to the away game, they were beaten 2:0 by the Celtics. The total score is the same, only extra time and penalty kicks can be played. In the end, it was a lucky penalty that eliminated the opponent.

If it wasn't for good luck, they might have been eliminated here long ago, and they wouldn't have made it to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

In the end they were eliminated by Inter Milano.

The same is true in the Champions League. The UEFA Champions League last season consisted of two group matches. Changsheng was at home in this competition system, but he was caught blind in the knockout round. He was eliminated by Milan in the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.

Everything looks normal this season. In the knockout stage, Stuttgart was also successfully eliminated, which made people have high hopes for the winning team. The results of it? They were eliminated by Milan again...

This fully shows that Chang Sheng, the head coach, is very good at leading the team in domestic leagues and cups, and he is indeed talented. But he is still too young after all, and the Champions League is still too difficult for him.

If Valencia had to make a choice now - choose the domestic league, or hope to break through in the Champions League.

Changsheng is a good choice if he wants to dominate the country with peace of mind. He has been in the team for three years and is familiar with the team's ups and downs, inside and out.

But if Valencia still has ambitions for the Champions League, it should make a choice. In the view of "Super Sports", Chang Sheng is not a head coach who can lead Valencia to make a historic breakthrough in the Champions League. If they want to specialize in the Champions League, Valencia should hire someone else. Although Chang Sheng has been very successful in Valencia, his level is limited to this. Valencia has fallen into a bottleneck under him. To break through the bottleneck, he has to change coaches.

"Super Sports" thanked Chang Sheng for his contribution to Valencia, but at the same time said that for the better future of Valencia, it is the most correct choice to decisively say goodbye to Chang Sheng at this time.

After this review article came out, it immediately caused controversy among various media in the Valencia area.

There are those who agree with it, and there are those who oppose it.

"Levante Daily" is on the side of agreeing. They think that the analysis of "Super Sports" is well-founded. Putting aside emotional factors and analyzing it seriously and rationally, it is indeed the case.

Chang Sheng spent three years in Valencia as a head coach. This time is already the longest among the recent Valencia head coaches. Perhaps it was too long, which made him and the team lose their freshness, and aesthetic fatigue began to appear.

For example, the frequent injuries this season have a lot to do with the high-intensity training that Changsheng pursues.

Now that we can rely on the freshness of Changsheng to win two league titles and two Copa del Rey titles. Why can't we make a breakthrough in the Champions League by relying on the freshness of another coach? When Cooper led the team before, Valencia broke into the Champions League final for two consecutive years, only one step away from the Champions League.

Is this a good grade?

Of course, this is a historic breakthrough!

But what about the result?

Valencia executives decisively changed coaches, sent Cooper away, ushered in constant victories, and opened a new era of Valencia's glory.

Now the period of perpetual victories is over.

It's time to start a new era...

The representative who opposes this point of view is the "Provincial Gazette".

First of all they don't think Valencia have been knocked out. The quarter-finals of the Champions League are two rounds of home and away games, and now only one away game has been played, the first round. How can we swear that we have been eliminated?

Secondly, they believe that even if Valencia is unfortunately eliminated, it cannot obliterate the credit for winning. After he coached Valencia, the progress of the team is visible to the naked eye, and everyone knows it well. Valencia is getting better every year under the leadership of Chang Sheng.

The wave of injuries this season can only show bad luck, and cannot deny the level of Changsheng.

So if Chang Sheng is replaced, it will definitely be a loss for Valencia, and it will be the most stupid decision in Soler's life!

※ ※ ※

There are different opinions from the outside world on whether to change the head coach, and the media and fans are discussing it in full swing.

But Chang Sheng didn't care about this.

As soon as the plane landed, he took Vicente to the hospital.

In a professional hospital, he wanted to see what exactly happened to Vicente.

The results of the examination came out the next day, and there was a six-centimeter gash in the muscle tissue of Vicente's left thigh!

"We found a wound in his musculature, which was there for a long time, according to our speculation, it should have been three or four centimeters before... He was overused in the game and eventually caused his muscle torn. ...If it can be discovered early, it should not be so serious...It's a pity..."

If it could be discovered early, it should not be so serious, unfortunately...

pity!

pity!

If he could be found out early, not only would Vicente not be so seriously injured, but I would not necessarily lose that match!

Chang Sheng thought of the scene where that quack doctor in Guinelle patted his chest to assure Vicente's thigh pain was nothing serious.

This person who was hand-picked by Soler after he came to power... the person who mixed sand into his team...

Then I will purify it for you!
