Chapter 292 Contract Renewal? (Ninety/One Hundred and Thirty-Six)
In the thirty-fourth round of the league, Real Madrid's game is two hours earlier than Valencia's game. The national derby between them and Barcelona is a game that the entire European football world is paying attention to.
For Real Madrid, this may be their best chance to shorten the gap with Valencia.
Although the opponent is Barcelona, Barcelona's performance this season is not very good, and this time it is still at Real Madrid's home court.
And Valencia will challenge Athletic Bilbao away. Everyone knows that the San Mames Stadium is not easy to play.
As long as Real Madrid can beat Barcelona at home and Valencia lose to Athletic Bilbao later, the two teams will only be separated by six points.
With four rounds left in the league, anything is possible.
But first Real Madrid have to win Barcelona at home, otherwise it will be useless to say more.
As a result, this fierce battle in the afternoon ended with Barcelona beating Real Madrid 2:1 away.
Although Solari opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 54th minute, Cluny Yvette equalized for Barcelona three minutes later. Luis Figo got a red card in the 69th minute, making Real Madrid even worse.
In the 86th minute, Xavi gave Real Madrid a fatal blow.
From this game, it can be clearly seen that Real Madrid's physical strength can no longer keep up. There are many balls. It is obvious that they can get the football before Barcelona as long as they run a little faster.
The results of it?
Let Barcelona get ahead of them.
Especially Davis' performance in the midfield is simply dominant. His tireless running and robbery in the midfield has already become a huge problem for Real Madrid's offensive advancement.
※※※The national derby victorious was watched in the hotel room of Bilbao with Rudy Gonzalez and Guardiola.
When the game was over, Chang Sheng shrugged and spread his hands: "We have decided on this championship!"
Rudy Gonzalez grinned, and didn't know what to say anymore—Chang Sheng guessed it right again!
Guardiola also looked delighted as the win put Barcelona past Deportivo,
Promoted to third in the league.
In the match against Athletic Bilbao on the second day, Changsheng had a large rotation, and many of the main players did not get the chance to play.
Of course, this decision was not made after watching the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Because Chang Sheng knew the result of the game a long time ago, he decided on this policy long ago.
Valencia, who played lightly, shook hands with Athletic Bilbao 1:1 away.
After the thirty-fourth round, Valencia scored 84 points, already leading Real Madrid by as many as ten points!
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng also wanted to sprinkle salt on Real Madrid's wounds.
He boldly predicted that Real Madrid's physical fitness has been exhausted, and any next game will be suffering for them.
"... Maybe Real Madrid's first five-game losing streak in the century since the establishment of the team is about to be born!"
The expression on Chang Sheng's face when he said this really made him want to smack him... But Ryu is the winner, and only the winner can slap the loser. How can a loser slap a winner?
※※※In the thirty-fifth round of the league, Real Madrid lost to Deportivo Deportivo in the second and fourth contests of the league. The away game was 0:2. And Zidane also received a red card in this game.
Players were sent off in two consecutive games, which has fully demonstrated the mentality imbalance of Real Madrid players.
When the league title became out of reach, they had already given up on themselves.
And Chang Sheng, a cheap player, came out to add fuel to Real Madrid's fire.
"Florentino's huge sum of money to build this luxury fleet has a fatal weakness. That is the lack of courage to fight tough battles. When encountering some difficulties, they will give up on themselves. This is why there are too many glamorous and noble superstars. As a result, no player in the frontcourt can defend at all, and the defense is all handed over to the players in the backcourt. The result is a serious disconnect between the front and the back. If such a team can win the league championship, it is really a tragedy for football!"
Although Changshen's words made him very upset, but thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that what he said was right—maybe this was the reason why he made him feel uncomfortable?
He uttered an irrefutable fact for Ren, and what he said was so ugly, there was a fire in Ren's heart, which made him feel uncomfortable.
What is "glamorous and noble superstar"?
This is really ugly.
But if you think about it carefully, even if the team loses the ball, they are still watching indifferently in the frontcourt. They just want the teammates in the backcourt to send the football to the frontcourt to help them attack, but they never defend the team. Aren't superstars who contribute their efforts glamorous and noble?
Neutrals have to admit that Chang Sheng's evaluation of Real Madrid's stars is accurate.
※※※The fact that Real Madrid was defeated by Deportivo in the away game means that as long as Valencia beats Real Betis, they will win the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule!
Valencia fans are heartened and delighted by this news.
Winning the league championship for three consecutive seasons, this kind of thing only happened to the two super giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Now Valencia can also stand shoulder to shoulder with the two giants!
Generally speaking, being able to win three consecutive championships in the Love League basically means the opening of a dynasty era.
Now the Valencia media can confidently say that Valencia has been the absolute power to rule La Liga in the past three seasons, and La Liga has entered the Valencia era in the past three seasons!
Before this game, the major media in Valencia scrambled to praise the Valencia team and sing praises for the constant victories.
The "Provincial Daily" used a full four pages to report on Chang Sheng's every step since he coached the team. From the press conference when Changsheng signed Valencia, I have been looking back to the present.
Chang Sheng said at the signing press conference that he signed Valencia, not his own luck, but Valencia's luck.
At that time, he attracted criticism and doubts.
The results of it?
Now everyone looks back and finds that Valencia chose to sign him as the head coach. It was really Valencia's luck.
With him, Valencia was able to become the league champion for three consecutive years, two of which were double crowns. There is still a chance to hit the Triple Crown this year, because the opponents in the Champions League are not particularly strong.
In addition to praising Chang Sheng's performance in leading the team, the Valencia media also believed that the club should renew the contract with Chang Sheng.
"The new contract signed by Changsheng and Otti was based on the '2+1' model. Now the two-year contract has expired. If both parties have no objections, the remaining one-year contract will automatically take effect. But what is the one-year contract enough? What we need is a long-term plan. Chang has proven his coaching ability, and now it is the club's turn to prove their sincerity in keeping this excellent coach! Just give Chang a five-year contract, five years, let him Build a powerful Valencia team according to your own vision, and let us sweep Europe!"
Such voices do not belong to one or two families. Except for "Super Sport", almost all Valencia media are reporting on this matter, and they are calling on the Valencia club to renew the contract with Changsheng.
"...If Soler really loves Valencia as he claims, then he should renew his contract with Chang. Put aside the personal grievances between him and Chang for the time being, and complete the contract renewal with Chang."
In addition to the media, many fans also called on the club to renew the contract with Changsheng.
They leave a message on the official website of the Valencia club, or on the official website of the provincial newspaper. Express their desire for the club and Changsheng to renew their contract.
There are also fans who went directly to Valencia's training base and held banners to support Changsheng's contract extension.
These moves have put a lot of pressure on Soler.
If he continues to remain silent and keeps silent about Chang Sheng's contract renewal, it will be completely unjustifiable. More and more reporters have called to ask him about renewing his contract with Chang Sheng.
Can he just say: "We never considered renewing the contract with Chang Sheng"?
Then he is courting death.
Under pressure, Soler had to speak out publicly.
Just before the match between Valencia and Real Betis, Soler publicly stated in an interview with reporters that the club has started the contract renewal work with Changsheng.
"Yes, we do intend to renew the contract." In front of the camera, he nodded and said with confidence.
As soon as this remark came out, there was joy in Valencia. Whether it is the fans or the media, they all began to happily look forward to the story of Chang Sheng leading the team to kill the Quartet in the next few seasons.
※※※On the day of the game against Real Betis, there was nothing to do in the afternoon. Chang Sheng called Rudy Gonzalez, Elias Dominique, and Guardiola to the hotel cafe Drink coffee and chat.
"The club really renewed your contract?" Rudy Gonzalez asked as soon as he took his seat.
That's all he cares about right now.
If Chang Sheng goes, he will go, if Chang Sheng wants to stay, then he will definitely stay too.
So he wanted to know whether Chang Sheng would go or stay.
Chang Sheng spread his hands: "Do you believe Sorel?"
Rudy Gonzalez froze for a moment, then nodded: "That's right!"
"None of them has asked me to renew my contract, whether it was before or now. I don't think there will be any in the future. To put it bluntly, there is too much pressure from public opinion, and Soler has to express his opinion, but he does not Won't really ask me to renew. He's still waiting for me to make a mistake..."
"What else can you do wrong?" Guardiola was puzzled. "The Copa del Rey champion, the league champion, the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the chance to enter the final... I don't understand, such a good result, he doesn't even renew your contract, what is he thinking?"
"He just didn't want to renew his contract with me. My mistake was just an excuse for him." Chang Sheng said. "Even if we reach the Champions League final, as long as we don't win the championship, he will say that I did not break through Valencia's best record in the history of the Champions League, and then he will not renew our contract on this ground."
"They really did it?" Elias Dominique was a little surprised.
"Is there anything you can't do?" Chang Sheng shrugged.
"Does that mean they won't have an excuse if we won the championship?"
"Maybe." Chang Sheng pouted. "But don't think about it so much now, just get the championship you should win first."
"Wait, last question, what happens after you get the title you deserve?" Guardiola asked.
Chang Sheng looked at him, and then said: "There is no place to stay here, but there is a place to stay!"
