When reporters realized they had been fooled by Rudy Gonzalez, it became a farce to discover the secrets behind his winning streak.
All the media and reporters who have invested energy and time in this area have become a joke.
There were no follow-up reports. The topic that was previously hotly discussed by the media cooled down so quickly and was no longer visible, as if the topic never existed from the beginning.
This makes those readers who are still expecting the media to dig into the secret behind the constant success feel baffled - why did it suddenly disappear?
They don't know that the media really have no shame in continuing to report on it.
They are obviously praising Rudy Gonzalez, although their real purpose is just to defeat Chang Sheng.
But after all, it is also helping Rudy Gonzalez become famous, which should be a good thing for Rudy Gonzalez.
What they have studied is that Rudy Gonzalez was once dissatisfied with Chang Sheng because Chang Sheng took his position as head coach. After Chang Sheng became the first team coach of Getafe, he still
Delusion takes its place.
Reporters believe that since there is such a big conflict between the two people, as long as they find Rudy Gonzalez, he will definitely tell the truth. By then, Chang Sheng will either be ruined, lose his job, or both.
Both.
Unexpectedly, Rudy Gonzalez played a trick on them.
This left reporters puzzled.
Is the relationship between two people that good?
They believe that Chang Sheng brought Rudy Gonzalez to Valencia mainly to take advantage of Rudy's training ability.
Who would have thought that Rudy Gonzalez would play tricks on all the reporters!
Well, since Rudy Gonzalez won't cooperate, this matter will naturally be settled like this.
But reporters will continue to keep a close eye on Chang Sheng. They don’t believe they can’t find the secret behind Chang Sheng’s success...
※※※
The whole team trains, conducts a warm-up match to check the training results, finds problems and corrects them in training, then continues the warm-up match, looks for problems again, and continues to solve the problems in training...
Time passed quickly in this cycle.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August. Chang Sheng and the club’s general manager Pitachi got up and headed to Monaco to participate in the new season’s Champions League group draw ceremony there.
This is not the first time Chang Sheng has attended such a ceremony. He and Pitachi went there together last season, and that time was to participate in the UEFA Cup draw ceremony.
Obviously, the UEFA Cup receives far less attention than the Champions League.
The same man, when he went to attend the UEFA Cup draw ceremony last time, no one paid any attention to him, and the reaction of European reporters towards him was also very dull.
But this time it was different. From the moment they appeared at the venue, reporters waiting outside the venue swarmed in and surrounded him.
This is the first time a head coach with an oriental face has appeared in the Champions League. No wonder the media is paying so much attention to it.
Players with Oriental faces are not uncommon to everyone, but as an Oriental and a Chinese, it means something completely different to be able to lead a team to participate in the Champions League as a head coach.
As a player, a hundred flowers can bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, so you can see white people, black people, yellow people, and brown people on the football field. Each race has its own advantages.
But you must rarely see head coaches of other colors in mainstream European football, right?
In European football, it is basically dominated by white head coaches.
It is rare to see black head coaches, and head coaches of other races are completely extinct.
In fact, in the mainstream Western world where whites dominate, most popular sports are dominated by white head coaches. This problem exists not only in football, but also in basketball and rugby.
People of other skin colors can serve as physical coaches, tactical coaches, technical coaches...all kinds of coaches in the team, but they cannot be the head coach.
This is a very invisible form of discrimination.
Normally no one would care, and no one would think so much about it.
But if you look at how many teams in the top five European leagues have non-white head coaches? Before this, there was only Gullit who coached at Chelsea, and Tigana who coached at teams such as Lyon and Monaco.
And at that time, Gullit was still a head coach without formal coaching qualifications. He was a part-time head coach for players.
Gullit's Chelsea played rare and beautiful football. At that time, the media called Gullit's Chelsea playing "sexy football", and Chelsea's results were much better than before.
Tigana once coached Lyon and led the team to second place in the league, which was the best record in the history of the Lyon club at the time.
In Monaco Tigana led the team to win the league championship.
Later, he went to England to develop and helped Fulham win the English League One championship and be promoted to the Premier League.
But then he began to decline, and he played in lower and lower leagues. He was briefly brilliant in the Turkish League, and then completely disappeared.
Rijkaard, who later joined Barcelona and built the Dream Team II, is considered the most successful head coach among people of color.
But now, the limelight that should have belonged to Rijkaard has been stolen by Chang Sheng.
In fact, whether it is Gullit or Tigana, their achievements as head coaches are still reasonable in the eyes of the media and the public. After all, they both come from powerful football countries, and they were well-known in the football world during their player days. After direct coaching, they became players.
The huge reputation they have accumulated can help them get started. This is one of the reasons why Gullit and Tigana achieved very good results in the early stages of coaching.
This was true even for Rijkaard later. As one of the Three Musketeers of the Netherlands, his glorious experience as a player gave him a huge help. At least when he coached Barcelona, he would not be due to lack of fame and prestige.
Can't control the wealthy locker room.
Their players are indeed legendary superstars in football. Isn’t it a matter of minutes to deal with you juniors?
But what about constant victory?
What about this sudden and sudden emergence of Chang Sheng?
He is a typical anomaly.
A season ago, no one in the mainstream European sports media had heard of his name.
At that time, the winning team was still in Getafe, and his influence was limited to the Madrid area and was very limited.
Last season he participated in the UEFA Cup as the head coach of Valencia, but the UEFA Cup qualification has nothing to do with him. No one knows whether such an unknown person coming out to coach Valencia is a good thing or a bad thing, so the media pays attention to him.
rare.
Maybe the head coach will be dismissed in a month? We really don’t pay too much attention to losers.
Who would have thought that this head coach not only did not dismiss get out of class a month later, but led Valencia to win the La Liga championship and became a championship coach! He is also the second non-white coach to win the league championship in a mainstream European league.
coach.
The first was Tigana, who led Monaco to the French Ligue 1 championship in the 1996-1997 season with a huge advantage of twelve points ahead of the second place.
And in the European competition, this young yellow head coach also performed very well.
Valencia led by him reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup before being eliminated by Inter Milan, which was packed with superstars.
One season is enough to make people who previously despised him look at him with admiration.
Then everyone discovered that he was not even a professional player before. He was a newbie to European football with no connections, no reputation, and no experience.
Such a person with no talent turned out to be the champion coach of Valencia!
It would be even more difficult for a non-white person to achieve such results under such circumstances.
So the media began to pay attention to Chang Sheng.
This time, Chang Sheng enjoyed star treatment.
But these European media obviously don't know what Chang Sheng is like.
Chang Sheng still remembers how the media ignored him last season...
At first, he was very happy that he could attend such an important occasion, and his heart was full of longing.
As a result, after arriving at the scene, my illusions were shattered.
Although he has already won a Serie B championship and a Copa del Rey in Spain.
But in European football he is a complete unknown.
Yes, no one here knows him, no one cares about him, he is not important here at all.
Even if he has the gimmick of being the first Chinese head coach in the European competition, people are not interested in him.
China has never been a strong country in football. The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, and the same is true in football.
Coming from a country with weak football, naturally no one pays attention to him and no one cares about him.
But a season later, he used his own efforts to reverse the situation. When he reappeared in Monaco, he was surrounded by reporters.
Chang Sheng had no intention of meeting the reporters' interview requirements.
"I won't accept interviews." Chang Sheng said with a straight face. "My mind is on the draw, so I won't accept interviews until the results come out."
After saying that, he pushed aside a few people blocking him and walked into the venue with Pitachi.
A group of reporters looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, the Chinese head coach had a temper and dared to refuse their interview request so blatantly.
Does he know what media he just rejected?
"France Football", "Team", "442", "Der Spiegel", "World Football", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Corriere dello Sport"... these are all in European football
The media enjoys great popularity.
It is usually difficult to get so many media outlets to take root in an interview with one person, and it is even more impossible to interview someone successfully.
He actually refused!
Among the reporters, a reporter from Marca couldn't help but said to his colleagues around him: "Here, let me introduce to you Chang Sheng, Chang, the head coach of Valencia, a Chinese, and not yet thirty years old.
"
Hearing what he said, the reporters around him turned to look at him and said to themselves, of course we know this is Valencia's head coach's winning streak, we also know that he is Chinese, and we also know that he is under thirty years old... these things
Do you still have to say it?
However, the reporter of "Marca" ignored the puzzled looks of these reporters and just smiled slightly.
"He is the weirdest head coach in La Liga. I think you have fully realized this..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support,
