Chapter 106 We Have a Debt to Settle

Chapter 106 We have a bill to settle

The Catalan media has always had complicated feelings towards Chang Sheng—Chang Sheng poached their captain. Sheng's body, so Catalonia's attitude towards Chang Sheng was very cold at first.

But when Chang Sheng led Valencia to beat Real Madrid 5:0 at home, the attitude of the Catalan media towards Chang Sheng changed. Because Chang Sheng not only defeated Real Madrid, he also humiliated Real Madrid in the game, doing things that Barcelona couldn't even do.

After that game, the Catalan media praised Chang Sheng a lot, and they almost said that Chang Sheng is an old friend of the Barcelona people.

They think that Chang Sheng hates Real Madrid so much, then he and Barcelona must have a common language.

But later seeing that Valencia, under the leadership of Chang Sheng, played better and better, and when they ranked first in the league, many Catalan media became jealous.

Guardiola left when he left, and everyone gradually forgot about him, because in the midfield, the young Harvey did well. In addition, everyone's attention is now focused on the civil strife in Barcelona, ​​so there is no time to pay attention to Guardiola.

It would be fine if Guardiola's performance in Valencia was average, but Guardiola's performance was very good, which inevitably made the Catalan media a little bit tasteful.

A player that the club doesn't want, but he is doing well in other teams, and now he has reached the top of the league with the team, what do those who stay think?

Isn't this more and more proof of Barcelona's failure?

This sentiment has been around for so long that the Catalan media has stopped touting Chang Sheng and his Valencia. Until the twentieth round of the league, Real Madrid played against Valencia at home.

Before that game, the Catalan media began to cheer Chang Sheng again. As sworn enemies they are happy to see Real Madrid suffer.

As a result, the victorious Valencia lived up to expectations and defeated Real Madrid 2:1 in the game, and Guardiola even scored a goal.

So after the game, the Catalan media cheered Guardiola for completing Barcelona's Real Madrid lore on another field-they counted Valencia's achievements as theirs.

They played up the game as if it wasn't Valencia that beat Real Madrid, it was Barcelona.

Since then, the attitude of the Catalan media towards Chang Sheng and Valencia has softened.

Until now, they have even courted Valencia in their own media.

Before the team went to Mestalla, photos and articles of Guardiola interviewed by them frequently appeared in the Catalan media. They want to express the friendly relationship between the two teams in this way.

In fact, there is no constant victory, and the relationship between the two teams is indeed good.

In Spanish football, where there are many factions and complex relationships, the relationship between Valencia and Barcelona is indeed good.

Although they have had the opportunity to compete directly, such as the last game of last season.

But generally speaking, the exchanges between the two club levels are relatively peaceful, not as intense as the gunpowder between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The autonomous region of Valencia is just south of the autonomous region of Catalonia, next to it.

The Valencian dialect in the north and the Catalan language in the south sound similar, and the two sides have a lot of history. In addition, both are pursuing autonomy in politics, so they are incompatible with ngyāng centralized Madrid. Chang Sheng has already seen this on the highway from Madrid to Valencia.

The two regions have the same political demands and similar language habits, so how to say, the relationship between the two should not be too different.

So in fact, this attitude of Catalonia is quite normal, it's just that they care more because Valencia has an extra Guardiola.

From Barcelona's point of view, this should be a friendly game - provided they beat Valencia away.

Barcelona is currently ranked third in the league, behind Valencia and Deportivo, and behind Real Madrid, they naturally want to compete for the league title.

If Barcelona can win this game, they don't mind showing their gentlemanly manner at all in order to maintain the friendly relationship between the two clubs.

※※※

Barcelona believes that there should be no grievances between them and Chang Sheng, and there is no need to worry about other things, just think about the game normally.

But Chang Sheng obviously didn't think so.

He failed to win Barcelona in the away game, and this time he returned to his home court, he must win. He absolutely cannot accept the result of being beaten or tied by Barcelona.

The reason is actually the same as in the match against Real Madrid, that is, only a team that is brave enough to face off against a strong team and can win can be considered a champion.

So this game must be won.

Against a team like Barcelona, ​​even if they are in an unstable state, if they want to win, they have to go all out.

He also knows the good relationship between Valencia and Barcelona, ​​but he doesn't want it to affect the morale of the players.

He is very good at or likes to find things from history to motivate players. This time is no exception.

In Chang Sheng's view, the relationship between the two clubs of Valencia and Barcelona is good, but it does not mean that the relationship between the two teams is also good. There are many things that need to be considered in club management, so we should not be easy sinners.

But the team is different. The team's problem is very simple. We are enemies when we play. Either I die or you die!

In addition, in the last round of the league last season, Valencia and Barcelona both competed for that share, and he did not believe that the Valencia players were not angry at all.

As long as it is a bloody player, it is impossible for him to lose his mind after losing that game. Because that game did not mean that Barcelona played better than them, but that Rivaldo played well. Barcelona's victory was not their team's victory, but Rivaldo's victory alone.

It is normal for Valencia to be dissatisfied.

Chang Sheng will now use this game to remind the players-Barcelona has a grudge against them, so Valencia must win this game!

※※※

Time flies, especially when there is a UEFA Cup match in the middle of the week, and it will soon be Valencia's home game against Barcelona.

This game can also be regarded as a strong dialogue, and the Mestalla Stadium is full of seats.

When the Valencia players returned to the locker room after warming up on the court, Chang Sheng turned off the lights in the locker room and let everyone watch a video of the game.

When the picture first appeared, many Valencia players were taken aback.

Because this was Valencia's away game against Barcelona last season, and it was the last round of the league.

Before that game, Valencia led Barcelona by three points and ranked fourth in the league. As long as Valencia does not lose to Barcelona in this game, it can ensure that it will qualify for the Champions League next season.

And if Valencia loses to Barcelona and the two sides split evenly, then the relationship between the winners and losers will have to be compared.

In this regard, Valencia is at a disadvantage-in the first round of the match between the two sides, Valencia lost 0:1 to Barcelona at home.

So they lose to Barcelona in the second leg and it's over.

Actually they did lose to Barcelona... no, it should be said that they lost to Rivaldo. Rivaldo's shocking hat-trick completely ended Valencia's dream.

It is a great irony that the team that broke into the Champions League final will not even be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

"Rivaldo... Rivaldo - Rivaldo!!!"

"Beautiful direct free kick! Barcelona took a 1-0 lead at home! There is no better start for Barcelona! You know the game has only started four minutes!!"

"Baraja - Baraja!! Valencia equalized with a header! Both sides are back on the same starting line!"

"It wasn't that long before the end of the first half, it was stoppage time...Barcelona attacked, the ball fell to Rivaldo's feet, Rivaldo feinted, he dribbled forward, dribbled laterally... ...passed a Valencia player, and then he...far—shè—! 2:1! Oh my god! Just when everyone thought the first half ended in a draw, it was Rivaldo again !! He blasted away Valencia's goal for the second time with a long shot! Poor Canizares..."

Seeing the conceded goals and listening to the commentator's voice on the TV, Canizares' expression was not very good.

"Baraja! It's Baraja again! Header! Another header! Baraja seems to have competed with Rivaldo in this game! His header once again broke through Dutrul's ten fingers! Rivaldo's hard-earned lead was wiped out, and the balance of victory was tilted to Valencia's side-as long as they keep this score until the end, Valencia will win the third place in the league with a three-point advantage! "

"The game is at the end of the game, it's about to go into stoppage time... I think the Valencia fans may have started celebrating their victory early, and can't bear to see Barcelona reduced to the Barcelona fans who are playing in the UEFA Cup. Someone has already left early... De Boer... Oh! Rivaldo!!!"

On the TV screen, there was a picture of Rivaldo stopping Frank De Boer's long pass with his chest, then turning over and jumping upside down, directly hanging the golden hook upside down. The football almost stuck to the goal post and flew into the goal guarded by Canizares from a very tricky angle.

"... so majestic! Oh! So wonderful!! You can't imagine Barcelona ending the season with a goal like this! The Brazilian scored a hat-trick!! Just for a split second, I saw what I've seen The most exciting goal! A goal worth millions! No, this is a goal that means millions of income next season!!"

"It's unbelievable! This player is simply unbelievable..."

The high-pitched and passionate voice of the commentator echoed in the locker room, and then stopped abruptly. The scene of Barcelona players and club executives celebrating wildly was also frozen - Chang Sheng pressed the pause button.

But he didn't turn on the light, and the room was still pitch black, with only the light from the TV screen as the only light source in the dressing room.

"I saw the most wonderful goal I have ever seen." Chang Sheng repeated the excited words of the commentator, as if another knife had been inserted into Valencia's wound. "He was right. This barb may be ranked in the top ten of the best barbs in history. Later, when countless TV stations around the world produced a collection of goals related to barbs, I bet this ball was indispensable, so Li Valdo is famous and his name will last forever, but what about you? All of you in Valencia, you will always be Rivaldo's foil, as the background for his brilliant goal, forever background!"

He raised his volume and roared suddenly.

"Are you willing?" He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you willing? After losing the last round of last season, you lost the qualification for the Champions League. Are you willing? You know, you didn't lose to Barcelona, ​​but It was Rivaldo, lost to one person, but in fact you have been better than Barcelona all season, but why should they go to the Champions League and not us?"

Chang Sheng asked a series of rhetorical questions. The light in the room was dim, and the only light source came from the TV screen, but such a light obviously couldn't reach everyone, so Chang Sheng couldn't see their expressions. But he doesn't need to see the expressions of these players clearly.

He just needs to get those players to hear him.

"I noticed the reports from the Catalan media before the game. They thought we should be good friends with them, but I think they were wrong. Why did we get stabbed by them last season? Want to be friends with them? Is it just because we double-killed Real Madrid? Shit! What does that have to do with them?"

Fortunately, for this game, Guardiola was not qualified to come to the locker room because he was not included in the squad list. Otherwise, he didn't know what he would think when he heard Chang Sheng's words...

"For me, the situation is very simple, that is not only Real Madrid, but also Barcelona, ​​​​are our enemies, and they all want to beat us. The game against Real Madrid may be mixed with my personal emotions, but for the Barcelona... We Valencia have a debt to settle with them, let's settle the debt today!"
