Chapter 297 Spit at Each Other (93/136)
When Mourinho criticized Deco's transfer to Valencia in an interview, Chang Sheng knew what Mourinho's purpose was.
He worried that Deco would be influenced by Mourinho.
So he responded quickly, without giving Deco a chance to be affected by this.
"I brought Deco from Porto. If Mourinho really appreciated Deco as he said, then he should try his best to keep Deco, but no. Porto chose money, not players. I I don't think he has the right to complain about Deco's choice at this time. As for whether it is better to move to Valencia or stay in Porto, this question is too stupid and I don't want to answer it, but if you have to ask, I will tell you : After the Champions League final, Mourinho will know how stupid he is talking about this question!"
The reporters like to hear the two coaches spitting at each other like this, analyzing tactics and so on, how can this be so exciting?
So the media was full of reports of the two head coaches fighting a war of words.
Chang Sheng successfully shifted the media's attention from Deco to himself.
Deco was hidden by him in advance.
But even so, it cannot be said that this incident has no impact on Deco.
So Chang Sheng had to communicate with Deco privately.
This exchange is different from what he said to the media.
"Mourinho thinks your move to Valencia was a mistake, what do you think, Andrés?"
Deco said without hesitation: "I have never regretted this decision, coach." Perhaps feeling that he was not credible enough, Deco added: "Of course, at the beginning I was Some doubts... I thought it was impossible for me to get a chance here, after all, Valencia is bigger than Porto..."
"" Chang Sheng laughed, which is a bit flattering. Valencia is not necessarily bigger than Porto. Valencia is more attractive than Porto because Valencia is on a bigger stage than Porto. The Spanish League, one of the five major leagues in Europe, has a higher level than the Portuguese Super League, a European second-tier league, and has attracted more attention.
Any player hopes to play in the five major leagues, and is not willing to hang out in low-level competitions for the rest of his life, as long as they are capable.
Deco has strength,
Valencia is for him. Naturally, it is more attractive than Porto.
Chang Sheng didn't let Deco continue, because he felt that Deco was not good at doing such things.
"Let's talk about the game. Mourinho thought you were wrong to move to Valencia, regardless of whether he was right or wrong, at least it affected you in the media. I want to hear Listen, what do you think after hearing this?"
"I think he's talking nonsense!" De Collo was a little excited.
"Yes, of course he is talking nonsense. But how do you prove that he is talking nonsense?"
"I won two league titles in Valencia, a domestic cup... Isn't that enough proof?"
Chang Sheng shook his head: "People will say that Mourinho's team has also won two league titles, one cup title, and they have one more UEFA Champions League title than us."
Deco was questioned.
If someone really argues with him like that. He really didn't know how to get back to them.
"It's actually very simple, Andres." Chang Sheng was persuasive, as if he was tempting a person to sell his soul.
"Beat Porto in the final and win the Champions League."
.. "" Deco's eyes lit up.
Yes, why didn't he think of it just now?
As long as I win the Champions League in Valencia, doesn't it mean that it is right for me to move to Valencia?
"In the final, I look forward to your performance, Andres." In the end, Chang Sheng and Deco shook hands to end the conversation.
When Deco went out. He clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.
This time he must tell Mourinho with practical actions. How correct and wise it was for me to choose to transfer to Valencia!
※※※
After the last round of the league, Chang Sheng led the team to Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where the Schalke area is the territory of Schalke 04.
And Mourinho's team has been waiting here for a long time.
That's why he thinks his team has an advantage over Valencia.
Compared with the tired Valencia, his team is waiting for work.
Moreover, Porto, which has lived here for a week, is more suitable for the climate and venue here than Valencia, which has just arrived. Even eating and living habits.
Even the time difference changed from Greenwich Mean Time to Central European Time.
On the other hand, Valencia, who has just arrived, will start a fierce battle with Porto at the Schalke Stadium in two days.
Two days is enough for them to prepare?
At most, I can adapt to the venue, but I may not be able to adapt to it.
※※※
Both head coaches are personality coaches with violent tempers.
Instigated by the media. The head coach is also happy to compete with the opponent's "the winner is king Chapter 297 Spit at each other (93/136)".
So the war of words between them continued.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chang Sheng ridiculed Mourinho's move to come here more than a week in advance to prepare is a coward.
"I thought Porto was a Portuguese team, so is it a German team? Are they playing at home? It doesn't matter, we are used to playing away games."
Mourinho sneered at Chang Sheng's ridicule: "I don't want to say that Valencia is envious of us, but in fact they are envious of us because we have longer preparation time than them. This is our advantage , whether he admits it or not, why didn't he arrange a match the day before the Champions League final?"
The war of words between the two sides has been played in the pre-match press conference.
Different from the kind of interviews with reporters, this occasion is more confirmed. Of course, if there is a war of words, this stage is more suitable and more sensational.
Mourinho's first press conference.
At the press conference, he briefly introduced the situation of his team. However, he declined to disclose the starting lineup.
Then he aimed his guns at Changsheng's tactics: "Some people say that Valencia plays the most advanced and beautiful football in Europe. I can't agree with this fallacy at all. Although Valencia has a high possession rate , but how much pointless back-and-forth is there in their possession? I watched a Valencia game once and I thought I could accommodate everyone saying how good they were, so maybe I should learn from that. But I only watched ten minutes of the game and I turned off the TV in disgust! What did I see? I saw two Valencia defenders pass back and forth for five minutes! The football was between the two of them the whole time Passing. There is no intention of going forward at all! I don't understand, what's so good about such football? If football is just to show off passing, is it still football? Isn't it who decides the outcome of a football game who scores more goals? When did it become who had more possession?"
Once Mourinho started to talk about "the winner is king", he couldn't hold back his mouth at all. He had a lot to say in his book, and he usually kept it in his heart, but this time he finally found a chance to express it quickly.
"On the contrary, I think Valencia's football tactics are a kind of regression, a typical representative of not wanting to make progress. Once they need to defend, they will turn back and forth in the back. This kind of reversal is meaningless, it is just In order to delay the game time. I think UEFA should severely punish this kind of passive game behavior! If everyone is like them, what is the point of the game? Whichever team has the ball, it keeps pouring in the backcourt ?Stayed backward until the eighty-nine minute, after exhausting the opponent's pass, took advantage of the opponent's numbness to counterattack, and scored in the end?"
His words drew laughter from reporters.
Because what he said was quite vivid, everyone made up in their minds. Found this scene to be delightful.
"I don't think that copying a taka from Barcelona, and then adapting it casually, can call itself the creator of tactics. And it failed very well."
At this time, Mourinho has not yet fallen out with Barcelona, and he is even proud of the Barcelona brand on his body.
So he was very dissatisfied with Chang Sheng for copying taka and then bluffing and cheating.
※※※
Chang Sheng then heard Mourinho's evaluation of his tactics.
He froze for a moment, then remembered that it was only 2004, and Mourinho's feelings for Barcelona hadn't deteriorated to the point of later generations.
Chang Sheng, who traveled from that time, is still a little uncomfortable with the current Mourinho.
When Mourinho questioned his tactics, Chang Sheng smiled slightly: "I think Mr. Mourinho made a mistake, even if he says my tactics are worthless, it can't help him win this Champions League final An ugly and negative tactic. If I can win three seasons of league championships, then I would rather be ugly and negative! And whether it is really ugly and negative, I am afraid that the standard of "entertainment show" is not judged by Mr. Mourinho, but by There are fans. In fact, there are many neutral fans who like to watch the Valencia game, but how many neutral fans are there in Porto?"
Chang Sheng in the camera smiles confidently.
※※※
Same as Mourinho. Chang Sheng did not release his starting lineup in advance, so after the press conference, the media were only excited about the quarrel between the two head coaches, but they did not realize that neither of them actually got the starting list of both sides.
So the reporters had no choice but to say: "It seems that although the two head coaches shout fiercely, they are actually very cautious and cautious..."
The media accidentally told the truth.
Indeed, both Chang Sheng and Mourinho are very conservative people...
The two sides had a heated argument before the game, but judging from the results, it was hard to say who would win.
So the result of this war of words ultimately has to fall on the final itself.
Let's see if Valencia beat Porto or Mourinho is better.
Originally, this final was not very attractive to the general public because neither of the participating teams was rich. The enthusiasm of sponsors and broadcasters is not high. This situation will definitely arouse the doubts of sponsors and broadcasters about the Champions League money scene.
Fortunately, the last two teams to enter the Champions League final are Mourinho's Porto and the ever-victorious Valencia.
Neither of these guys is a fuel-efficient lamp.
So UEFA has indulged in the two men's almost direct nose-to-nose spat.
The Champions League final needs to maintain enough attention, and it is obviously difficult to do it with only two teams.
Porto and Valencia are both football teams. Valencia still has a Ronaldinho. What does Porto have?
I don't know all of them!
At this time, the two personality coaches naturally became UEFA's life-saving straw.
UEFA tacitly allowed the two of them to attack each other in the pre-match press conference, and even secretly fueled the flames.
UEFA's official website published the introductions of the two young coaches before the final.
List their grades and personalities in great detail.
Da has a posture to let them fight in the ring.
The enthusiasm of the media was indeed aroused by the bickering of the two personality coaches, and with the hype of the media, the interest of ordinary fans in this Champions League final gradually increased.
They even accepted the point of view promoted by the media. Although this final is not a match between rich and powerful families, there are two young and talented head coaches, and they will definitely be able to collide with wonderful sparks. European football is getting old. At this time, there is really a need for fresh blood such as. And Mourinho and Chang Sheng are obviously the best of them.
The teams led by these two young coaches have their marks, and the confrontation between these two teams must be better than the confrontation between the giants.
Wasn't last season's Champions League final a contest between Milan and Juventus, the two Italian giants?
But would anyone say that the final was a good one?
It was extremely dull! Looking at such a giants matchup, it is better to watch the grassroots counterattacks of Valencia and Porto. (To be continued.)
