Chapter 1 An Unexpected Invitation

The San Siro stadium was full, but there was no sound at this moment.

Oliver Kahn, wearing a Bayern Munich goalkeeper jersey, stood in front of the goal. He opened his arms, his knees were slightly bent, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon watching the Valencia player Zahovic who placed a football in front of him. .

Zahovic runs and shoots!

Kahn flew up almost at the same time, pounced on the right side of his body, and then slapped the football out with both palms!

"Kane!!" The narrator couldn't help but yelled. "Kahn! Oliver Kahn!! Wonderful save, wonderful save!"

"Carboni...Carboni-Kahn! Incredible! Crucial save!"

"Pellegrino, he faced Oliver Kahn... Kahn!! Bayern won! Bayern won! Bayern Munich won the 2000-2001 UEFA Champions League!!!"

The excited roar of the narrator gradually faded, and the bright and vivid pictures gradually faded.

Then came the sold-out Camp Nou.

"It's a free kick from Barcelona. Only four minutes into the game, Barcelona got such a free kick from the front of the penalty area. The person who took the penalty was... Rivaldo. Rivaldo ran up... the goal is scored!! L! Valdo! Rivador! He opened the scoring for the team! In this crucial game for qualification for next season's Champions League, Barcelona took the lead!"

"Rivaldo dribbled the ball laterally...he passed a man...long shot - L!!! Rivaldo! Unbelievable! He scored twice and gave Barcelona the lead again! 2:1! Barcelona are ahead of Valencia!"

"The game is about to enter stoppage time. The current score is 2:2. As long as this score is maintained until the end, Valencia will overwhelm Barcelona and qualify for the Champions League next season... Valencia fans in the stands Already ready to celebrate, and some Barcelona fans who couldn't bear to see the team condescend to the UEFA Cup next season also started to leave early... Franco de Boer, kick the ball, Rivaldo! Chest stop... oh BEAUTIFUL! Rivaldo -! Rivaldo! Rivaldo!!! Incredible hat-trick! Fabulous upside-down hook from outside the box! Rivaldo! He did it! He single-handedly brought Barcelona into Champions League next season!! It's a crazy game!"

The narrator's crazy roar stopped abruptly. The TV screen then went dark.

In this small conference room, several people were sitting around the table, and they all turned their eyes away from the TV screen.

"Hector's departure was decided before the end of the season,

We must find a new successor for him. "

The first to speak was a slightly fat middle-aged man, Pedro Cortez Garcia, the chairman of the Valencia club. His voice is hoarse. There was a little fatigue, and the spirit seemed a little sluggish.

"New coach, I'm afraid there are not many famous coaches who can come to our Valencia..." A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and square jaw frowned and said on the left. He was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, reflective The lenses blocked his eyes, making it impossible for people to know his thoughts through his eyes. He is one of the shareholders of the club, Juan Battista Soler.

"Why do you have to be a famous coach?" On the right of the club chairman Cortez is another middle-aged man who looks younger. He is another shareholder of the club, Jaime Otti Ruiz. He expressed a difference Opinion. "I think it's time to make a change. We have always followed the famous coach policy, but whether it is Pereira, Hiddink, or Cooper, they have not brought Valencia any glory that can be justified. ..."

"Jaime, do you call the Copa del Rey an 'Unreasonable Glory'?" Soler, who was on the left, stared at Otti who was opposite him.

"We spend tens of millions of dollars every year to buy so many stars. Is it just to win the King's Cup?" Otti asked not to be outdone.

"Then we've reached the Champions League final two seasons in a row..."

"What was the result? We lost for two years in a row! The season just ended was even worse, and we didn't even qualify for the Champions League next season. We are runners-up in two consecutive Champions Leagues, and I think this is enough to show the name A failure for the dudes. I think we should try to make a difference."

Soler looked at Otti's impassioned speech with cold eyes, and then said with a smile: "It seems that our Otti already has a suitable candidate?"

He didn't think that Otti could really come up with a candidate, so these words were obviously teasing and disgusting Otti.

But his eyes widened in the next second, surprised. Because Ottie was really prepared.

I saw him take out a newspaper, gently put it on the table, and then pushed it towards Lai Sol.

It was a Marca newspaper with a picture of the team celebrating a victory, and next to it was another picture of a young man in a suit, waving his arms and shouting.

"The head coach of Getafe, Chinese, Chang. I have observed him for half a season, and I think he is a very capable head coach."

He said calmly.

Soler grabbed the newspaper and quickly browsed it, and then he laughed: "Ha! A twenty-nine-year-old Chinese! Ha! A rookie who has never had any first-team coaching experience before! Ha! We are Valencia A team that has entered the Champions League final for two consecutive years! How can such a person be allowed to coach the team? In that case, Valencia will become the laughing stock of everyone!"

Otti didn't care about Soler's sarcasm, he just looked at the club's president Cortes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cortes fell into deep thought. His fingers had been tapping the table regularly and rhythmically, and then he woke up from his contemplation and said: "Look again, look again, the season has just ended, we still have time."

He just tends to look for a well-known coach, not a meteor-like coach like Chang Sheng.

Otti wanted to say something, but this time Soler's voice interrupted him: "Jaime, even if the Chinese proves himself in Getafe, it doesn't mean he can coach a team like Valencia ...managing a country team is completely different than coaching a big club."

After speaking, he got up and left. Beside him, many shareholders and senior management personnel of the club also got up and left one after another.

Finally Cortez also left the conference room.

Only Ottie sat alone in the conference room, and the newspapers Sorel had flipped through were placed on the table.

He takes his place. Lost in thought.

※※※

Things turned around almost overnight.

Cortez was suddenly seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital urgently.

He then resigned.

Then the club's board of directors met again, only three days after the last meeting.

Cortes resigned, Valencia Club needs a new chairman, and this time the club's board of directors is to decide on the new chairman.

But there is no suspense on this issue.

The person who currently holds the highest stake in the club will automatically become the owner and chairman of the Valencia club.

And now the person with the highest stake is Jaime Otti Garcia.

Soler, who has been at loggerheads with him, is the second-largest player in the club.

Sorel, who had come to the board meeting, looked very unhappy, with a gray face and the expression of a loser.

In fact, after learning that Cortes was hospitalized due to illness, he realized that this would be his opportunity. As long as his shares can overwhelm Otti, then he can become the boss of Valencia. He can build this team the way he wants.

So he visited the well-known Roig family in Valencia, found another shareholder of the club, Francisco Roig, and hoped to acquire the 30,000 shares in Francisco Roig's hands, so as to make a fortune in the future. Obtained an overwhelming advantage in the boardroom, surpassing Otti, who he was familiar with and disliked.

But Francis Roig rejected Soler's request.

that's all. As a result, Soler gave Otti a stake in the club.

Otti was successfully elected as the chairman of the Valencia club.

On the board of directors, the first order of the newly elected chairman Otti was to find a new coach for the team.

The team cannot live without a coach for a day, otherwise it will not be able to carry out normal work.

When he was just a shareholder of the club, he couldn't make a direct decision. Now he is the president of the club, his decision is the club's decision and no one can stop him. So no matter how upset Soler is, he can only watch Otti send someone to contact the Chinese.

He can only curse the other party in his heart: You will regret your rash decision! Jaime Otti Garcia!

※※※

The day after Chang Sheng decided to leave Getafe, it was as if someone brought a pillow when he fell asleep. He got a call from his agent, Kate Gracie.

"A new job opportunity, Chang," Gracie said on the phone.

Chang Sheng is not surprised. He has done so well in Getafe this season, and he will definitely be noticed by interested people. Those who need a coach will naturally come to him.

It's not the same now as it was two years ago. Two years ago, he was like a headless chicken, wandering around in despair, hoping that a club could take him in. For this reason, he traveled to many places in Spain.

At that time, even if he wanted a job as a youth team coach, he couldn't get it.

Now, he can sit at home and wait for his agent to call him and tell him which clubs are interested in him.

"Who?" he asked.

"Valencia."

Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, Valencia?

He really didn't expect Valencia to find him.

"You read that right, Kate? Are you sure it's not Valladolid or Villarreal?"

"I'm Spanish!" Kate Gracie protested.

"Okay...but why did they find me?"

"How do I know this? If you are interested, I will make an appointment with them. You two can meet and chat?"

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that this should not be a trick, so he nodded: "Okay, you can do it."

After hanging up the phone, Chang Sheng was still wondering why Valencia found him.

He really feels that based on his coaching performance at Getafe, there should be no shortage of coaching opportunities. But he really didn't expect to go to the sky in one step and go to coach a team of Valencia's level all at once.

Today's Valencia is not the Valencia team before he crossed.

Today's Valencia was a real strong team at the turn of the century, and the demeanor of a wealthy family is not bad at all.

Speaking of which, from the turn of the century to the turn of the century, there are many La Liga teams that are particularly good, which makes people shine.

It was completely different from the later La Liga, where no one else had to play except the Western Super League.

Today's La Liga is full of vitality.

Now this Valencia team has entered the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons. They were able to capture the Nou Camp twice in 1998 and 1999. They can also beat Serie A champion Lazio 5:2 in the Champions League.

In such a team, there are so many masters in the team, and it is completely developed for the rich.

Their teams are coached by famous coaches.

Pereira just led the Brazilian national team to win the fourth World Cup in the World Cup in the United States, and then came to Valencia as the coach of the World Cup champion.

When Hiddink was the head coach for the first time, he led PSV to the Eredivisie championship. At that time, the Eredivisie league had a high gold content. Then he led his team to win the Dutch League, Dutch Cup and European Champions Cup in the second year, becoming a world-renowned coach in one fell swoop.

Cooper's qualifications are almost the same, but before coming to Valencia, he also brought Mallorca to the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, almost overturning Lazio. It can be said that he has proved himself in the European arena.

See what coaches they are looking for, how could they be interested in themselves?

But the fact is, Valencia did find him.
