Chapter 144 What Were You Doing when You Were 19 Years Old?

While Mendieta's agent, Tordela, was negotiating a personal contract with Real Madrid, the season was actually still going on.

Valencia has another goal, they don't need to compete with other teams now, they have to compete with themselves.

In the thirty-sixth round of the league, Valencia played against Spain at home.

In this game Changsheng began to replace a large number of main players, allowing substitute players who usually don't play much to play.

In the end, they scored a 2:2 tie with Spain at home.

After the game, Valencia began negotiating with two Real Madrid players.

In fact, despite the fact that the two players Arbeloa and Cambiasso are not well-known now.

But it's really not easy to get them to join Valencia.

First of all, Arbeloa joined Real Madrid only last season. He has a good future in the Real Madrid echelon and is very hopeful that he will be promoted to the B team.

Real Madrid is obviously more attractive to young players than Valencia.

Young people are always vain.

Although Valencia is the league champion, it is not as influential as Real Madrid's giants.

Cambiasso's situation is similar to that of Arbeloa, but he is slightly better.

Because he has been loaned out by Real Madrid for four consecutive seasons and has not played a game for Real Madrid.

Now he is twenty-two years old and still wandering outside.

But he still has illusions about Real Madrid, thinking that after this season's loan, returning to Real Madrid will give him a chance to play in the first team.

In fact, according to history, it is indeed the case.

Cambiasso returned to Real Madrid in the 2002-2003 season and became a member of the first team.

However, he only played 41 games in two seasons. After the contract expired, Real Madrid did not choose to renew his contract, so he had no choice but to leave.

The same is true for Arbeloa, who was once part of the Real Madrid B team,

That is, the captain of the Castilla team, but in the end he failed to get a chance in the first team, transferred to Real Madrid and went to Deportivo. It was not until a long time later that he transferred back to Real Madrid by virtue of his outstanding performance in Liverpool, and he succeeded in saving the country with a curve.

To deal with these two players, it would be useless for Llorente to go, and Chang Sheng plans to do it himself.

Cambiasso is in Argentina and can only be contacted by phone, but Arbeloa is in Madrid, so he can have a face-to-face meeting.

So Chang Sheng threw the training to assistant coaches Rudy Gonzalez and Guardiola, and ran to Madrid alone to meet with Arbeloa.

※※※Arbeloa met the legendary Valencia head coach after training.

Why is it legendary?

Because within Real Madrid, there are many legends about this coach.

The grievances and grievances between Chang Sheng and Real Madrid are the best material for everyone's private gossip.

Because Chang Sheng once worked as a coach in the echelon of Real Madrid, many people here still have an impression of him. It's fine if Chang Sheng is not famous, and everyone will forget him over time.

However, Chang Sheng is very famous, and his name is often seen in the media, and then the media continue to hype the grievances between Chang Sheng and Real Madrid, which naturally aroused many people's memories.

As the only Chinese coach in the Real Madrid echelon at that time, Chang Sheng still attracted a lot of attention.

Now everyone has come up with stories about Chang Sheng's deeds when he was at the Chamartin training base. First the coaches said it, and then the players passed it on.

Naturally, Alberoa had also heard about it.

It's just getting more and more out of shape.

Coupled with the three kills of Real Madrid, many people were unhappy and jealous of Chang Sheng, and they demonized Chang Sheng even more.

Up to now, Valencia's head coach is almost like a devil in the minds of many young Real Madrid players.

But Chang Sheng, who appeared in front of Abeloa, was also smiling, which made Abeloa feel strange.

"You are different from the rumors." Alberoa said with a frown.

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Why is it different?"

"Uh..." Alberoa originally planned to tell the truth, but thought it might not be polite, so he shook his head: "Forget it, I think it's better for you not to listen."

Chang Sheng smiled even wider: "It's not a good word anyway, is it?"

Alberoa nodded: "I didn't say it, they were all talking. I just overheard it accidentally."

Chang Sheng shrugged: "It's normal, people don't understand themselves, but things that can threaten them always like to demonize, no matter what it is, even if it is a living person."

Arbeloa was curious: "You used to be a coach in Real Madrid's echelon? Then why did you leave in the end?"

Chang Sheng shook his head: "Didn't the rumors mention the reason why I left Real Madrid?"

"Yes, but I think you are stupid." The young Abeloa was quite bold, daring to comment on Chang Sheng in this way.

Chang Sheng thinks the 19-year-old Abeloa is very interesting. It seems that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he can say whatever he has.

"Oh why?"

"Even if someone is upset with you, shouldn't you stay at Real Madrid? You know, Real Madrid is always better than those teams outside."

Chang Sheng spread his hands: "If I continue to stay in Real Madrid, I will only be an echelon coach until now. But now I have become the head coach of Valencia, leading the team to the league championship this season. And two Copa del Rey titles, and a second division title. Is that what Real Madrid can give me?"

As a child, Albero Abijing does not think long-term and comprehensively as an adult.

When Chang Sheng said this, he also realized his own problem.

Yes, if you continue to stay in Real Madrid, can this person in front of you still become the head coach of Valencia?

In fact, this is what Chang Sheng wanted to say to Abeloa.

So he continued, strike while the iron is hot.

"Just like you, Alvaro. You stay at Real Madrid, you can go up to the B team, but after that? To be honest, I don't think you will get a chance in the Real Madrid first team. Do you know why? ?Quite simply, Zidane plus Pavon's policy has failed and Florentino will not be promoting another defensive player from Real Madrid's B team. Pavon is now on the bench in the first team and he rarely plays. Even Pavin is like this, do you think your future is very optimistic?"

Arbeloa opened his mouth wide, listened blankly, and even forgot to question Chang Sheng: "Isn't it your responsibility for the failure of Zidane and Pavin's policy?"

Chang Sheng continued: "Do you think you will have the opportunity to go to Real Madrid's first team? Don't dream, Alvaro. Florentino is not short of money, he would rather spend a high price to buy a practical and fixed defense from other teams Players will not trust the results of their youth training camp. Because Pavon has proved that Real Madrid's youth training is a failure and cannot meet the requirements of Real Madrid's first team. What will you do if you cannot be promoted to the first team? "

Chang Sheng stared at Abeloa, his voice seemed to have a magical power, which made Abeloa listen in a daze.

"Do you think you are playing well in the Real Madrid C team and have a bright future? But in the teams I have coached, nineteen-year-old players are already the main players. In Getafe, the nineteen-year-old He Both Cy Passarella and Carlos Campo are the absolute main players in the team. They are the core of my defense. In Valencia, the 17-year-old Reyes scored three goals this season, Seven assists. Nineteen-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored 21 goals and 11 assists. You are still in the Real Madrid C team at the age of nineteen. Do you feel very proud, very proud? ?”

Abeloa looked up at Chang Sheng, he was completely captured by Chang Sheng's words.

"So why did I come to Madrid to look for you? I think you should know about the deal between Valencia and Real Madrid. Someone in the Real Madrid club must have notified you. I am optimistic about your ability to adapt to multiple positions on the defensive line. My team needs players like you, I can't guarantee you can play the main team, in fact I never want any guarantees, but I can get you more opportunities to play in the first team. I call you, no In order for you to strengthen the strength of Valencia's C or B team, I need you to contribute your strength in the first team. Now, this is a multiple-choice question, play in Real Madrid's C team and B team, and then suffer Waiting hard for the opportunity to play in the first team, or go to Valencia to play the official first division with me?"

After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he remained silent. He leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Abeloa.

Aberoa was obviously moved by Chang Sheng's persuasion. The nineteen-year-old was not good at hiding his true thoughts, and all his thoughts were displayed on his face.

"Can I really play in the First Division?"

he asked a little excitedly.

Chang Sheng smiled: "Don't you know that I always keep my word?"

※※※Arbeloa fell in love with Changsheng, determined to leave Real Madrid and become a member of Valencia. It was Chang Sheng's speech about "what are you still doing at the age of nineteen" that moved him.

Yes, he is already nineteen years old, but he is still playing in the third echelon of Real Madrid. The nineteen-year-old players have played the leading roles in the first team one by one, and have accumulated rich experience in the first division. , and even became famous and became a big star.

Why can't I also have such a nineteen-year-old?

After talking about Arbeloa, the next thing is simple, just let Arbeloa negotiate a contract with Valencia Club.

Young people don't have many requirements for personal salary, but they pay more attention to the future development of their careers.

In this regard, the ever-victorious Valencia can just satisfy him.

After Arbeloa was settled, Chang Sheng called Cambiasso's agent again.

"Tell your player that he's willing to go from a team that rents him out for four years and doesn't give him a first-team game at all, to a team that's willing to give him a lot of first-team football. The league champions?"
