Chapter 32 1 Year Period

Since Valencia completely rejected Lazio's offer, Mendieta has become silent in front of Changsheng.

Everyone can see that he has a lot of opinions on Chang Sheng.

Lazio did not make an offer in the end, and Mendieta naturally had to stay in the team.

His agent calls every day to scold Chang Sheng, and encourages Mendieta and Valencia to fall out completely. He believes that as long as Mendieta is willing to fall out directly, Valencia will definitely let him go under pressure.

But the problem is that Mendieta dare not do this.

He still cares about his reputation. After all, he is a player who has played in Valencia for so many years. Even if he wants to leave, he also hopes to get together and get together. He doesn't want to get into too much trouble with the club and end up infamy.

This is his affection for the Valencia club.

But just because he has feelings for Valencia doesn't mean he also has feelings for Chang Sheng.

Now he doesn't have a good impression of Chang Shengna at all.

It's just that his professional ethics kept him from having a direct conflict with the head coach.

But Chang Sheng didn't bother him, which was also one of the reasons.

Anyway, the two sides are so strangely silent to each other, as if they are turning a blind eye to each other.

This is weird and not normal.

That's why Chang Sheng wants to solve this problem. He doesn't mind what Mendieta thinks of him, even if he scolds all eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart.

This is a personal grievance, a personal grievance is a personal grievance, and a working relationship is a working relationship.

He doesn't want personal grievances to affect everyone's working relationship.

Because Mendieta is the captain and the core of the team, if this core does not deal with him, this team will not think well.

Judging from the warm-up before the game, Mendieta is still a professional.

But Chang Sheng didn't know what to do. He felt that if he didn't talk to Mendieta, he would always have the sword of Damocles in his heart.

Three days before the start of the season. Chang Sheng finally took the initiative to find Mendieta.

At that time, Mendieta had already changed in the dressing room.

Ready to leave and drive home.

Chang Sheng blocked him at the door of the locker room.

"Do you have time, Gazika?"

Mendieta looked at Chang Sheng standing in front of him and fell silent.

"I think we should have a good talk." Chang Sheng said again.

Mendieta finally nodded this time: "Okay, where?"

"Go to the training ground, this is not a place to talk."

Many players in the locker room are eavesdropping on Chang Sheng's words. This is really not a good place to talk.

Mendieta also nodded in agreement.

So the two walked side by side to the training ground.

It's a pity for the Valencia players who were eavesdropping behind the door.

※※※

"I know you have opinions on me, Gaizka." Chang Sheng didn't start with the weather, which is an old British way.

He cut to the chase. Straight to the point.

Mendieta obviously didn't expect Chang Sheng to be so direct. He wasn't ready yet, he didn't know how to answer the question.

Chang Sheng didn't expect to ask him to take up the conversation, so he continued talking on his own.

"But I want to correct your thinking, it is not I who will keep you, but Lazio."

Chang Sheng stared at Mendieta.

Mendieta looked at Chang Sheng in surprise. I don't understand why he said that.

"I think you know that Valencia accepted Lazio's second offer. But why didn't this transfer happen in the end? It's simple, because Lazio has no money at all, they don't have enough money to take you. We Valencia Xi Ya is not Lei Feng, so it is impossible to send you out for nothing, right?"

"What is Lei Feng?" Mendieta frowned.

"One of our Chinese celebrities is known for helping others, and he likes to help others for free. Do you think we should give you away without transferring a penny?"

Even if Mendieta wanted to leave again, he couldn't say such words. He still hopes that his departure can make a little contribution to the Valencia club, and the transfer fee is the contribution. After all, he still has a lot of affection for Valencia.

"So you have to know that it's not my problem, but Lazio's problem that you didn't make it. Now that I've made this clear to you, I just hope that you won't affect the overall situation because of these personal matters. You are the ball Captain of the team, you should set an example for the whole team. I don't care what you think of me. Gaizka, I don't care even if you scold my ancestors for eighteen generations in your heart. I just I hope you don't bring your personal emotions to work. Everyone is an adult, so you can't meet the minimum requirements, right?"

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he stared at Mendieta.

Mendieta suddenly felt a kind of pressure. When the young Chinese coach stared at him, he actually felt pressure.

It seems that as long as you make an unsatisfactory answer, you will suffer some kind of disaster.

But Mendieta knew it wasn't going to be like this, but that feeling just lingered.

He used to put on a bad face before, but now he can't show it.

He thought about it for a moment and said: "But I think I've reached a bottleneck in my Valencia career."

Chang Sheng thought that your fucking transfer is the real bottleneck, okay?

But he could only think about it in his heart.

When the words come to the mouth, it looks different.

He can't tell the other party "I'm a time traveler, I'd be an idiot if I knew you moved to Lazio, so don't go to Lazio!"

He spread his hands and said to Mendieta confidently: "Why? Just because there is no champion? That's okay, I'm here now."

Seeing how confident he was speaking, Mendieta couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Mendieta smile, Chang Sheng straightened his face and said, "What? Don't believe me? Don't believe that I can lead this team to the championship?"

The oppressive feeling came back, and Mendieta couldn't laugh anymore.

"No, I just think..."

"You think I'm a little too arrogant, don't you?"

"no……"

"Think I'm talking nonsense?"

Chang Sheng pressed on every step, and Mendieta's forehead began to sweat. He was a little tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.

It didn't matter if it was Pereira before. Or Hiddink, or Ranieri, Cooper. Mendieta has worked with many excellent coaches, but Chang Sheng is the first one he has seen who gives off such an aggressive aura all over his body.

In the end he had to admit: "Well, I think you are too confident in what you said, but it is not true."

He thought he would wait for Chang Sheng's angry reprimand, but he didn't expect Chang Sheng to laugh when he heard him say that, very happy, very happy, so happy that it was a little weird.

"Then let's limit it to one year. Gaizka. You stay in Valencia. Take a good look at how I led this team to the championship!" Chang Sheng said this very confidently. "After one year, if you still want to leave, I won't keep you. If you want to stay, I welcome you."

In fact, Chang Sheng is very clear that even if Mendieta does not go to Lazio, he will not be able to play well if he goes to other teams.

He didn't play in Lazio at the beginning, and was loaned to Barcelona after only one season. In Barcelona he played 33 games and scored four goals, which is not bad by rights. But this performance is still far from his performance in Valencia. After the season, Lazio once wanted to sell Mendieta to Barcelona to reduce their financial burden-although they dragged the final payment of the transfer fee and did not give Valencia. Rencia, but Mendieta's annual salary is still a big burden for them.

But Barcelona didn't want it at all.

He had no choice but to return to Lazio. Then he was loaned to Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

In Middlesbrough's first season, he made 31 appearances and scored two goals. Considering his current state of displacement, this performance is not bad.

And Middlesbrough is not as picky as Barcelona, ​​and feels that Mendieta's performance in this loan season is acceptable. Simply discuss with Lazio and buy him over.

Lazio is also eager to get rid of this hot potato with a high salary.

They were even afraid that they wouldn't be able to get rid of it, and they didn't even dare to ask Middlesbrough for the transfer fee, so they transferred it for free and gave it to Middlesbrough.

It turned out that after Middlesbrough bought it, it was discovered that they had been cheated.

First of all, Mendieta asked for a high salary, and secondly... Compared with last season when he came on loan, his performance began to plummet. The injury affected his state and his attendance. After officially moving to Middlesbrough, he did not play a full season. In the first season, he only played seven games for this Premier League team. The second season was slightly better, with 17 games. Two goals, the third game is back to what it was, seven games.

After the contract with Middlesbrough expired, the team did not renew his contract, and Mendieta finally had no choice but to announce his retirement.

In fact, Mendieta's rise to fame has a lot to do with Valencia's tactical system.

In Valencia, he is actually a free frontcourt player with a wide range of activities. The team's offensive system is set up because of him, and his excellent physical fitness is just suitable for this positioning.

But when it came to Lazio, Libero's tactics were difficult to gain a foothold in the Serie A league, which focused on compressing space and time and pressing defense. Two completely different styles of football collided, which eventually led to the fall of Mendieta. He tried the wing and midfielder in Lazio, but he didn't perform well in Valencia at all. He was confined to a small space and lost his aura under the tight pressing of the opponent's defender and the tactical restrictions of the coach.

When he went to Barcelona, ​​Van Gaal used him as an engineer in the midfield and put forward high defensive requirements for him, but at the same time he let him let go of offense. These two completely contradictory requirements made Mendieta at a loss. Although he insisted on a Barcelona According to the tradition of the Skren, he struggled unremittingly, but in the non-stop useless running, he exhausted his physical energy and the last sliver of inspiration.

Cruel facts have proved that once out of Valencia's tactical system, Mendieta suddenly disappeared from everyone.

In Changsheng's new tactic "Mad Dog" designed for Valencia, Mendieta's characteristics were also taken into account, allowing him room to play. Although his position is on the wing, it still gives him a lot of room for movement. He can move freely in the frontcourt. Anyway, if there is Ferreira on the right side, the defense does not have to worry too much. This can also liberate Mendieta .

But if you switch to other teams, you don't have so much free time to do this kind of thing.

After hearing Chang Sheng's words, Mendieta suddenly had a feeling of "relief", that is, he only needs to stay for another season.

As for staying on the team after one season?

He hadn't even considered such a possibility.

He was determined to leave Valencia, and he felt that nothing could shake his determination.

He seemed to be afraid of Chang Sheng's repentance and asked back: "One season?"

"Only one season!" Chang Sheng nodded with certainty. "If you still want to leave when the time comes, we will never force you!"

Mendieta looked at Chang Sheng. As if to see if Chang Sheng lied to him.

Naturally, Chang Sheng didn't need to lie to Mendieta. Because what he said is true, if Mendieta wants to stay in Valencia as a loyal minister, he has no problem. But if Mendieta is still determined to leave next season, then he will definitely not persuade him as hard as he is now.

Chang Sheng will definitely not be relentless if he can sell more money at that time. Of course, it will not be sold to Lazio!

"I hope you will keep your word then, sir."

Chang Sheng shrugged: "I always do what I say."

Then he held out his hand: "So, can we shake hands for the sake of cooperation?"

Mendieta hesitated, but still held out his hand.

Chang Sheng smiled: "Very well, that's it. Gaizka. After one season. I bet you won't want to leave a championship team."

Mendieta was noncommittal. What happens after one season, who knows. You said that if you can win the championship, you can definitely win the championship, right? There have been so many coaches over the years, which one didn't say he could win the championship? The results of it?

He just wants to stay for one full season and get out of here. Go to a broader stage to pursue your football dream.

After Chang Sheng's conversation ended, Mendieta took the initiative to call his agent when he was heading towards the parking lot and told him about his agreement with Chang Sheng.

"I spoke to him and he gave me a promise that I would stay at Valencia for another season. Then let me go," he said.

"Are you crazy, Gaizka?" The manager was so scared on the phone that he didn't say anything for a long time, not knowing what to say. It took me a long time to hold back such a particularly uncreative sentence. "You actually believe the words of a Chinese? Let me tell you, there are two kinds of people in the world that you can't believe, one is the Jews and the other is the Chinese!"

"What else? Can you find me a suitable club, Alberto, with the transfer period closing in two days?"

The agent on the other end of the phone was silent.

Obviously he couldn't do it either.

Even a Lazio has ruined his old nose, so in the end he was slapped by Chang Sheng, and he was very unhappy with Chang Sheng. This dissatisfaction with Chang Sheng has now extended to the entire Chinese community.

"So that's the only way to go now. Fortunately, we only have to stay for one more season."

Alberto Toldella had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, anyway, I have agreed, it will be the last season. No matter what, we have to leave! What the hell..." When hanging up the phone , he was still muttering.

※※※

Chang Sheng and Mendieta reached an agreement in this way, or a tacit understanding.

Mendieta stayed at ease and continued to lead the team as the captain of the team.

And Chang Sheng promised Mendieta that as long as he still wanted to leave at the end of the season, he would definitely let him go.

With this tacit understanding, Chang Sheng was relieved.

If Mendieta doesn't trouble him, his pressure will be much less.

Otherwise, as the captain of the team, someone who has a lofty status and prestige in the hearts of the players and fans, if he is really determined to fight against himself, then the locker room will be in a state of turmoil from now on...

As a time traveler, Chang Sheng knows too much about this aspect.

The leader of a team is often the bully of a team.

Such people can not only play a good role, but also play a negative role.

If it is not handled well, it will be a lose-lose result.

Chang Sheng came to Valencia to win the championship, not to play Gongdou with someone.

Being able to resolve the issue with Mendieta peacefully made Chang Sheng very satisfied.

When he left the training base, he was still stroking his chin complacently, feeling that he was more mature than before.

From the looks of it, I am a big step closer to becoming the world's top head coach!

After Mendieta's matter is settled, the next step is the opponent in the first round of the league...

Thinking of the first opponent in this league... Chang Sheng is very excited!

Because this opponent is none other than Real Madrid! . . )
