Chapter 29 The Chain Reaction of Keely · Gonzalez's Departure

During the tactical training, Valencia played another warm-up match, this time their opponent was Washington United from the United States. /

In this game, Valencia used their new tactics. The players ran wildly on the court, which not only made the opponent feel dizzy, but also made the fans and reporters watching the game feel confused—— Why did Valencia play like an amateur team, with eleven headless flies bumping around.

Everyone looked at Valencia's head coach Chang Sheng frequently. He was still squatting on the sidelines, just like he did in Getafe. Because his back was facing the audience, everyone couldn't see his expression at all. They didn't know that he was facing How do you feel about this scene.

Reporters in the media booth had different opinions on this. Because everyone can see that Valencia is not playing the defensive counterattack they were handy before, but something that cannot be said about the tactics.

The reporters were wondering, is this a protest by the Valencia players against Chang Sheng? Deliberately using this poor performance to protest Chang Sheng's high-pressure management in training?

The players involved in Changsheng's high-intensity training complained a lot, and they knew about it.

But obviously the delay in their news is very serious... because this problem no longer exists in the Valencia team.

They didn't know that Valencia was actually practicing a new tactic.

It's normal for them not to know, Chang Sheng has not opened up tactical drills to the outside world. What the media and fans can see every day are ordinary training such as Valencia's physical training, warm-up, and simple shooting exercises. Once it comes to tactical training, these people cannot enter the training base to watch the training.

Valencia's new tactics are Changsheng's biggest weapon. Although this weapon is destined not to be kept secret for too long, as long as one more game can be kept secret, it is also a good thing for Valencia.

That's why Chang Sheng would do this.

If someone observes carefully, he will actually find that the Valencia players seem to be running in disorder on the pitch, but in fact there are traces to follow. Because no matter where the football is, with the football as the center, it will form a circle composed of many Valencia players. And the Valencia player with the ball. No matter which direction the ball is passed, there are at least two alternative targets to choose from, and all of them form a triangle relationship with him.

The triangle represents more than just stability. And angles. An angle makes it easier to pass the ball.

The requirement of Changsheng is to use the running position to make passing the ball easier, and try not to create a situation where it is difficult for the player who takes the ball to pass the football. A player frequently passes wonderful passes and dangerous balls, which can show that his passing level is very high.

But it definitely does not mean that the tactical level of the entire team is high.

Chang Sheng doesn't intend to pin all the team's offensive hopes on one person, so he has to use the overall tactical movement to revitalize the offense.

Guardiola felt this particularly deeply when he was on the pitch. Because it's a bit like the football he played in Barcelona, ​​but it's more active and aggressive and faster than the football he played in Barcelona.

Although he had only practiced for a short time, Guardiola accepted it quickly, which has something to do with his playing in Barcelona.

Other players accepted it quickly, which is related to Chang Sheng's skills.

This Valencia team, which is still half-baked with the new tactics so far, finally defeated the opponent 4:1 at home.

Won their second warm-up match.

※※※

After Villa came to the team to report, Chang Sheng believed that his transfer work was basically over. Not only did the 25 million budget not be spent, but it also made some money for the club. He felt that no matter what angle he looked at as the head coach, what he did was impeccable.

As for the turmoil in the transfer market this summer, it has nothing to do with him. He knew Zidane was coming to Real Madrid. He also knew that in order to make up for Zidane's departure, Juventus would take Nedved from Lazio. But none of this has anything to do with him.

He is a spectator.

Pitage's experiment is almost done. ()

Lazio let Nedved go because they believed they could buy Mendieta instead.

So after their second offer, Valencia agreed to their offer, which gave them hope of successfully winning Mendieta.

Then they made a request to Valencia for installment payment.

When Pitage heard the news, his heart skipped a beat.

It really makes the Chinese man right...

He thought about it. This request was denied.

Unexpectedly, Craniotti, the chairman of the Lazio club, flew to Valencia in person to have an interview with the chairman of the Valencia club.

And he patted his chest to promise that he would never default on the balance payment, and he guaranteed with his own personality that he would not do such a thing.

Both Ottie and Pitage are shaken by his resolute attitude.

Fortunately, Pittaqi didn't forget to call Chang Sheng at this time and tell him about the progress of the situation.

"You're right, Chang. They really wanted to pay in installments... We rejected them, and then their chairman, Craniotti, came in person... He patted his chest and assured us that there would be no arrears no no As for the payment... Jaime asked me to ask your opinion."

Chang Sheng is not at all surprised that they pay in installments, this is a fact.

What surprised him was that Craniotti actually came. For a Mendieta, being so sincere is quite remarkable.

If Chang Sheng didn't know what happened later, he might really be moved by Cranioti's sincerity and agree to the other party's request.

But now that he is known, it must not be allowed to happen. It's not that Mendieta can't be sold, but it can't be sold in this way.

Lazio bought Mendieta, and did not enjoy the benefits of this transfer deal, but instead plunged itself into an economic crisis.

Chang Sheng would not do such things that harm others and benefit himself.

"Don't believe Craniotti, no matter what he says. As long as he refuses to pay the transfer fee in one go, they will definitely default. Lazio's financial situation has begun to go downhill now, and his company's situation. No, I really can't find a reason to believe him..."

"He said he put his own character as a guarantee..."

Chang Sheng smiled on the other end of the phone: "Ha! How much is his character? They just sold Nedved, which happened to be 41 million euros. Could it be that they can't get the money? They are Don’t want to give it? Why don’t you want to give it? Because the money has to be used to make up for the shortfall. So don’t believe him, you just bite the bullet and don’t pay the full transfer fee. Then there’s no need to talk about it. Absolutely don’t accept any form of installment payment , even if it is a model of cash plus players. We only want money! Forty-one million dollars, not a dime less!"

Chang Sheng's attitude is so firm. After Pitazzi and Otti also thought about it seriously, they felt that Chang Sheng's opinion deserved respect, because he had accurately predicted Craniotti's reaction before. Then he said that Craniotti could not afford the full payment, so he really might not be able to pay the full payment. Anyway, Mendieta is in the limelight now, so he doesn't worry about getting married at all.

The Valencia club subsequently rejected Lazio's request for an installment payment.

This time Lazio did not make another offer. Because they really can't come up with the full amount, if Valencia doesn't agree to their request, they have nothing to do. Continue to quote and apply for installment payment again? That's just repeating the process, so what's the point?

After Mendieta's transfer offer was rejected again, Chang Sheng believes that this summer, Valencia should not make any more moves in the transfer market.

He is ready to announce the end of the transfer campaign and reassure those players who remain in the team. Especially Mendieta. If he didn't make it, he must have been very agitated. He might have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him.

But at this moment, something suddenly came to him!

There is even a team making an offer to Keeley Gonzalez!

And this team still has a lot of background - the famous Inter Milan!

After Cooper went to Inter Milan, he not only took away his coaching staff. Also want to poach from his original team.

He took a fancy to Keely Gonzalez's sharp breakthrough on the wing, and he thought that Keely Gonzalez could solve the problem of Inter Milan's lack of talents on the left.

For Kyle Gonzalez, Inter Milan is obviously more attractive than Valencia. Inter Milan is a real giant. Although it has not won a league championship for many years, it has won a few years ago. A UEFA Cup winner.

What about Valencia? It is true that he has entered the Champions League final twice in a row. But he didn't win the Champions League. Keely Gonzalez thinks this is probably the bottleneck of the team's development.

He felt that if he stayed in Valencia, it would be impossible to achieve better results than the previous two seasons. In addition, he didn't even have to play in the Champions League this season, so he wanted to leave.

In addition, he didn't like Chang Sheng's tactics very much. He is a wide player, but in the victorious game, he has to take on more tasks. His tactical requirements are much more complicated than Cooper's before. he does not like.

So he showed his cards to the club, hoping that the club could let him go.

In the victorious battle, Keeley Gonzalez, who played on the left, was not indispensable, but he was also an important player. Because the offensive players on the left are currently only Vicente and him, Kiley Gonzalez.

And from the perspective of player numbers, Keely Gonzalez's statistics are also very good, and there are just a few key attributes that Chang Sheng likes and values ​​​​very much.

For example, his [Aggression] is as high as 94, [Brave] is as high as 91, and [Willpower] is as high as 76. In addition, his [Teamwork] is also very high, at 85, and his [Work Engagement] is 89.

These kinds of data are very important to Changsheng.

If you let him go, it will still have a big impact on yourself.

So he is unwilling to let people go.

But Keely Gonzalez was determined to leave.

No matter how Chang Sheng persuaded him, he just wanted to leave.

In the end, Chang Sheng had no choice but to let him go, but the price had to be fair enough.

Six million dollars, nothing less.

Historically, Kiley Gonzalez was transferred to Inter Milan in the 0304 season. At that time, he was already a substitute in Valencia, so Inter Milan was only willing to give 2.5 million euros, and Valencia offered 3 One and a half million. Finally, the two parties reached a consensus on the price of three million.

Now Changsheng is asking for more than double. Because now the dollar is worth more than the euro.

He has the confidence.

Because before that, Kyle Gonzalez was still the main player on the left side of Valencia, and he was the hero of Valencia's two consecutive Champions League finals.

Such an excellent winger, selling for six million dollars is really a conscience price.

Inter Milan struggled for a while, Chang Sheng refused to let go, and Kiley Gonzalez was determined to leave again, which in turn put pressure on Inter Milan.

In the end, Inter Milan finally agreed to Chang Sheng's offer, which was 6 million US dollars. Take away Keeley Gonzalez.

While the transfer negotiations of Keely Gonzalez were still going on, Chang Sheng had already started looking for a successor for Keely Gonzalez.

This season he originally planned to let Vicente and Keeley Gonzalez take turns playing the main force, but Keeley Gonzalez left. Let him modify his thoughts and decide to completely push Vicente to the main position. Anyway, Vicente had already played the main force last season. The only question is whether his physical ability can last a whole season. After all, his tactics consume more energy.

In this way, always have to prepare a contingency.

Chang Sheng suddenly thought of Reyes in Seville.

After Reyes taught his Getafe a lesson in Sevilla, he seems to have improved significantly. Played 20 games in the second division on behalf of Sevilla last season and scored two goals.

For a child who is only seventeen years old, this is an outstanding achievement.

This season, Sevilla has also successfully promoted to the First Division, but many people are still doubting whether Reyes can be the main player in the First Division. After all, showing color in the second division does not mean that you can also show color in the first division. There are too many such precedents in football.

Reyes has great potential, but many people have no idea how high he can reach.

Chang Sheng felt that this was his chance. Because he knows!

In addition, Seville's financial situation is not very good. At the turn of the century, many Spanish football clubs were in deep economic crisis. Even a giant like Real Madrid would have owed a huge amount of debt and couldn’t repay it. If the training base land was sold to the city government at a high price. Real Madrid will never start the era of Galacticos.

It is not surprising that Seville is in a financial crisis.

For Sevilla these days, nothing is unsellable.

The premise is, as long as the price is right.

Keeley Gonzalez is still negotiating here, and Chang Sheng has already asked Llorente to go to Seville to find the other club to discuss Reyes' transfer.

He didn't show up because he was too busy. On the other hand... he and Sevilla had some grievances, so it was inconvenient to come out directly.

Let Llorente handle this matter and there will be no such problem.

※※※

Just like what Chang Sheng analyzed. Although Reyes has great potential, he is not a "not for sale" that cannot be given up for Sevilla.

Although his performance last season was outstanding, he also exposed some problems, such as his weak physical resistance, such as his cowardly personality. Therefore, in the fierce La Liga, many people are skeptical about whether Reyes has the ability to adapt to such an intense game.

Sevilla's attitude is to look at Valencia's bid, as long as Valencia's bid is right, they will sell.

Anyway, they also need a lot of transfer funds to supplement the team's strength, lest they be promoted for a season and then relegated back.

As for the grievances between Chang Sheng and Sevilla, no one mentioned it at this time.

What? Has Chang Sheng ever had someone kick Reyes' leg? Hey, take the money, who remembers those crap things now!

In this way, after some bargaining, Valencia finally brought Reyes, who was only 17 years old, from Seville to Mestalla with a transfer fee of 4 million US dollars.

After the successful announcement of the transfer, the media were taken aback.

They thought they didn't expect Reyes to be bought by Valencia!

Both parties had done a good job of keeping secrets before, but now they suddenly announced that they killed many people by surprise.

You know, Valencia's head coach is Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng used to let his players openly kick Reyes' leg during the game, causing him to get injured...

Many people think that Chang Sheng hates Reyes, but now why did he spend four million dollars to buy Reyes?

Also why would Reyes agree to go?

This is what the media feel strange about.

Of course, one thing is unquestionable-after Chang Sheng spent 17 million US dollars in transfer fees this season, he finally bought a fairly correct player. . . )
