Chapter 132 The Champion Is Such a Fun Thing (Twenty-Six/One Hundred and Thirty-Six)

Chapter 132 The champion is such a good thing (26/136)

Valencia, who won the Copa del Rey, returned to Valencia early the next morning. From the moment they got off the plane, they were warmly welcomed by the Valencia fans.

The Copa del Rey is the lightest of the championships, but it is also the championship.

The last time they won the Copa del Rey was in 1999.

This time it was the seventh time in their club's history that they won the title.

For the Valencia fans, they don't actually have much ambition.

Of course I want the league title, but it is also a great thing to be able to reach the Champions League final. Similarly, the King's Cup title is also a very important honor.

You must know that Valencia does not have many honors in total, although it is well-known.

They have just four league titles and six Copa del Rey titles before that.

Spanish football is not like England and Italy, where the polarization has been serious since ancient times.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are super giants, Real Madrid benefits from the support of the Madrid region, while Barcelona has the backing of the wealthy Catalonia region. Teams in other regions are more or less affected by the economic situation in their respective regions.

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

A local team like Valencia can win so many championships, which is considered a strong team in Spanish football...

The entire Valencia team came out of the airport on a double-decker open-top bus, and there were enthusiastic Valencia fans along the road, who followed them in their cars.

When the bus entered the urban area, the streets along the way were already crowded with raging crowds.

Valencia fans continued to cheer and sing Valencia's team anthem.

The Valencia players presented the trophy to the fans one by one.

Each of them was cheered by the fans.

The goal chanted the names of every player, whether they were newcomers or those who had been with the team for many years.

As Mendieta held the trophy aloft to show off to the fans,

Get the loudest cheers. After all, he is the captain of the team and the spiritual leader. Secondly, in yesterday's final, he played well and scored twice. He is considered the team's number one contributor to the King's Cup.

Chang Sheng watched Mendieta enthusiastically interact with the fans and thought to himself, wondering if such a Copa del Rey could change his mind and allow him to stay in the end. After all, in his own tactics, a player like Mendieta is still very useful.

If a Copa del Rey is not enough, there is also a league title. That is the championship trophy that Valencia has worked hard for 30 years but has not been able to win.

He is already twenty-nine years old, which is the golden age of a professional player, the time to make a big career.

So he actually understood why Mendieta transferred to Lazio in the first place. Because Valencia reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, but fell short, which is a good example of where the bottleneck of Valencia's level lies. If he continues to stay in this team, he will not be able to get the honor he desires.

But it is different now. I have already proved the future of the team with the championship, and I believe it is enough to impress Mendieta.

Mendieta is a system player. He can play like a fish in water in Valencia, but he may not perform so well in other teams.

In his mad dog tactics, Mendieta, who is free in the frontcourt, is an important player, because his excellent running ability and ability to pass the ball to control the rhythm can bring many changes to the team, and he is also a key player in the team's pass control. An important part of football tactics.

The team's bus finally arrived at the Plaza Mayor, where the entire Valencia team was received by the mayor of Valencia.

The mayor of Valencia took Chang Sheng to chat for several minutes, expressing his gratitude to Chang Sheng.

Before Chang Sheng came, although Valencia entered the Champions League final for two consecutive years, they ended up with nothing. Last season, they even lost their qualification for the Champions League.

Only one season after Chang Sheng came, he brought such earth-shaking changes to the team. He was far ahead of his opponents in the league, and even defeated Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, winning the Copa del Rey and returning with honor.

Then everyone came to the balcony of the city hall to celebrate the championship with the Valencia fans gathered in the square and delivered speeches.

As the captain, Mendieta promised everyone in advance on behalf of the team: "It won't be long before we come here to celebrate the league championship again!!"

His appeal was echoed by the fans in the audience.

Leading the league by 15 points, it is no surprise that such a result is now said to celebrate winning the championship.

Chang Sheng didn't go up to make any speeches. He stood behind the players and stood beside the club's general manager Pittaqi.

"The contract extension has been drawn up, and all the requirements have been met. When will we sign it?" Amidst the loud cheers, Pitage leaned into Chang Sheng's ear and asked.

With a smile on his face, Chang Sheng clapped and answered him: "Anytime."

He was filled with a great sense of accomplishment.

The champion is really a good thing!

From the night of the game, the media began to report intensively on the final.

There are too many things to watch in this final. Real Madrid fell into the sand at home. Valencia really became a mess as their coach said. Valencia showed it in the game The tactics, including the strange adjustment at the last moment, was it a premeditated new tactic, or was it an accident? In the end, it was a war of words between Chang Sheng and the reporters.

These are all highlights, enough for the media to hype for several days.

Valencia's media gloated and reported the embarrassment of Real Madrid losing even their underwear at home. They focused on describing the gloomy expression on Florentino Perez's face, and describing the Real Madrid fans in their own home. The home court saw the team crying bitterly after the defeat, and used exaggerated techniques to portray the distraught of Real Madrid's superstars at the last moment of the game...

As long as they can hit Real Madrid, they don't mind using any means.

The media in Madrid was full of mourning, and both the "Marca" and "Aspen" newspapers criticized the team's performance in the game.

In fact, there is really nothing to criticize. Valencia's tactics completely restrained Real Madrid's tactics. Who would have thought that the real mad dog tactics would be so sharp? Who would have thought that Chang Sheng would try to play Wufeng in the game? Who would have thought that Chang Sheng could really be shameless enough to use -taka to defend?

According to statistics after the game, Valencia has an overall advantage in all technical statistics, especially the ball possession rate, which is as high as 70%!

This kind of ball possession rate is basically used to brush back and forth when controlling the defense.

It doesn't make any sense, but it looks nice.

Saying that Valencia has a 70% ball possession rate and completely suppressed Real Madrid... How nice!

Florentino became the object of ridicule in the national media. Because he insisted on forcing the final to be held at the Bernabéu before the game, and moved it to March 6th, the media criticized him for his arrogance.

But they can only talk with their mouths. Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng helped them achieve this goal, and demolished Florentino in public, making him unable to get off.

So the media fired at Florentino at will on this basis, scolding Florentino to shame.

Because of this matter, one can imagine Florentino's secret attitude towards Chang Sheng...

For the Real Madrid team, the strength of the Copa del Rey final has put their pressure on them sharply.

This year is the day of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Real Madrid. In this year, Real Madrid has prepared many grand celebrations. But these festivities would be lacklustre without the adornment of champions.

The Copa del Rey title has already been robbed, and the league title seems to be out of the question now.

There is only one Champions League winner left.

But the difficulty of winning the Champions League is definitely far greater than the Copa del Rey and the league.

Real Madrid can only put aside other ideas now, no matter how difficult the Champions League is, they have to do their best to win the Champions League and present the club's centennial birthday.

For this reason, they may give up the domestic league, and only require that they can remain in the top four of the league.

But this has nothing to do with Valencia, because the two teams will never meet again until the end of the season...

The media are also discussing whether Chang Sheng succeeded in making Real Madrid regret it.

Real Madrid just lost at home to Valencia led by Chang Sheng, and lost the Copa del Rey championship, turning their centenary celebration into a joke and farce. It stands to reason that they should regret it.

But this is not the case.

Florentino didn't show up, but some of his staff came out to express their opinions.

"It's a joke, Real Madrid don't regret anyone. We congratulate his team for winning the Copa del Rey, but Real Madrid don't regret it."

With such a simple sentence, people will not talk about it, and the glamorous and noble style of the wealthy family is fully reflected.

He really deserves to be one of the best giants in international football. What is a King's Cup? We, Real Madrid, haven't won the Copa del Rey for eight years, and it's almost another year. How can we value such tasteless Copa del Rey? We are a giant with eight championship cups!

Although the media in Madrid criticized Real Madrid's performance in the game, they also helped to refute Chang Sheng's "regret theory", saying how could Real Madrid regret for one person? There has never been such a thing in the 100-year history of Real Madrid, and there will be no future!

Regarding the official response of the Real Madrid Club and the words of the Madrid media, Chang Sheng just laughed and did not make any public response.

It makes people feel that he seems to be scared, or realizes how impossible it is for him to make Real Madrid regret it.

But no one knows what Chang Sheng really thinks in his heart.

He knows the development path of Real Madrid in the future, he thinks, he still has a chance to make Real Madrid regret it, just in the Champions League! (To be continued.
