Despite many restrictions from the referee, Valencia still drew 1:1 with Racing Santander in the away game and did not lose the game.
Acting head coach Guardiola, who attended the press conference on behalf of Chang Sheng after the game, criticized the referee's performance.
"It seems there is no obvious misjudgment, but all fools know they are targeting us. As long as we have physical contact with the opponent and the opponent falls to the ground, it must be a foul on our part. And the big move against Racing Santander players
, but they turned a blind eye... I don’t want to say anything more, because I don’t want to watch the stands and be a spectator for several rounds of league games. The referee’s matter ends here, I just want to say that we are not as fragile as some people think!”
The reporters in the audience were all shocked by the aura exuded by Guardiola. They did not expect that Pep, who has always been low-key and gentle, could be so murderous sometimes, especially what he said was so domineering.
Unexpectedly, Guardiola quickly revealed the truth: "The above is what I quoted Chang."
The reporters pouted in their minds: After working for a long time, if Chang Sheng still wins... Guardiola is now a mouthpiece. After every away game, he calls Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng tells him what he said, and he relays it to the reporters.
.
What an acting head coach does is really boring...
Of course, Guardiola doesn't think so.
※※※
Although Valencia did not win the game, Ibrahimovic's performance was still outstanding. He scored the only goal for Valencia in the game.
In fact, Ibrahimovic's performance during this period was very good.
In the last five games, he has scored seven goals, six in the league and one in the Champions League.
Especially in the league, a hat trick and a brace.
His goals in the league also increased to nineteen.
This is a new high in his career.
His league goals last season were only eighteen.
Twenty-two goals were scored in all competitions throughout the season.
Now, his total number of goals in all competitions is twenty-eight, and he has great hope of exceeding thirty.
With Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance and the end of the season approaching, various people have become active again.
Transfer rumors about Ibrahimovic began to appear in the media.
Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Manchester United, Arsenal... these giant teams have all recovered from their diving state.
Two consecutive seasons of outstanding performance have made Ibrahimovic a hot commodity in the transfer market.
Especially his performance in the Champions League. In his first appearance in the Champions League, he ended up scoring nine goals.
The Champions League has not yet finished, and he is temporarily ranked second, tied with players such as Ma Kai and Crespo.
It is normal for such an outstanding performance to arouse the interest of wealthy families.
But Chang Sheng knows that the transfer rumors about Ibrahimovic that have been exposed at this time are definitely not as simple as gossip.
So when a reporter came to ask him what he thought about Ibrahimovic's transfer rumors, he remained silent.
He was waiting for the rightful owner to appear.
Sure enough, within a few days, Ibrahimovic's Raiola came to the door.
The agent once again requested a salary increase.
And this time, he no longer asked for a salary of 45,000 euros. He asked Valencia to meet his weekly salary requirement of 60,000 euros.
"Sixty thousand?" Chang Sheng asked Raiola while staring at the contract.
Raiola nodded: "Yes, the team's top scorer for two consecutive seasons, and this season the second top scorer in the Champions League... I think it's worth the price."
Chang Sheng did not directly throw the contract in Raiola's face like before, but gently put it down and nodded: "Okay, we will study it carefully and consider it."
Raiola also knows that he cannot let Chang Sheng directly agree to him. It is already a good improvement to get this famously tough head coach to nod and agree to consider it. At least the other party did not directly throw the contract to him. On your own face, there is still room for discussion.
He believes that this is because Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance this season puts pressure on him to win.
Especially the performance in the Champions League, this is the most critical. The influence of a forward who can only score goals in the league is really limited, but when he can also attack in the Champions League, the situation is completely different. He can easily Attract the attention of wealthy families from other countries.
Under such circumstances, one cannot help but win.
So Raiola left with satisfaction.
Chang Sheng, who stayed behind, fell into deep thought.
For 60,000 euros, this Raiola can really speak like a lion.
Sixty thousand euros is a full twenty thousand euros higher than Valencia's maximum weekly salary.
Although Chang Sheng used part of the transfer budget to increase the salary budget this season, it was not to raise the new standard, but to increase the salary of players whose salaries are not high in the first place.
If you want to agree to Ibrahimovic's salary, it will destroy the salary balance of the entire team. What should I do if other players know about it?
Ibrahimovic can afford 60,000? We don’t want 60,000, we want 50,000, right?
When the time comes, Vicente, Villa, Deco, Baraja, Albelda, Ayala... these players will come to ask for a salary increase. What will you do?
Disagree? There will definitely be a gap in your heart.
We agreed to one, but what about the second? What about the third? It’s endless, is there any end? Do we really need to raise the salary of the entire team?
Even if he agreed, Jaime Otti would not agree.
So in fact, Chang Sheng didn't need to think about and study it at all. It was just an excuse to delay. When he saw Raiola's request, he knew that he would never agree to this condition.
A season ago, he did not agree to Raiola's conditions. He could put Ibrahimovic on the bench and tell Raiola that this team has the final say. To threaten himself. He even got cruel, thinking that if you continue to confront me like this, I will completely put your players in the B team, just like that so-and-so.
Now, one season later, Chang Sheng no longer does this. He has a better way than this.
For Ibrahimovic to have such an agent, it means that there will never be peace on his side. In order to clear himself up, Chang Sheng plans to sell Ibrahimovic.
Although Ibrahimovic was snatched from Ajax by name, this does not mean that he will stay with Ibrahimovic for the rest of his life. He knows very well that Ibrahimovic Due to Mović's urinary nature, he knew that sooner or later he and Ibrahimovic would have conflicts.
Because he is a person with a strong personality, so is Ibrahimovic. When the Swede was young and had not yet become famous, he could still suppress him. I am afraid that constant quarrels will break out in the future.
Rather than that, it's better to sell him now.
You can still make more money.
But in order to make more money...
Are you trying to raise Ibrahimovic's worth?
When selling things, you have to advertise and promote your products.
※※※
Chang Sheng finally made two decisions, one was to sell Ibrahimovic, and the other was to reuse Ibrahimovic at the end of the season.
This sounds contradictory, but it is nothing more than advertising for Ibrahimovic.
Promoting Ibrahimovic will also make it easier for him to raise prices in the future.
Since you want to sell, you have to sell it at a good price, otherwise wouldn’t you lose money?
To Raiola, Changsheng's reply was that the club's top management was still considering the price. After all, it was a salary that exceeded the team's highest salary of 20,000 euros, and they had to be cautious.
His opinion is that the current competition for the league championship has reached a fierce stage. There are six rounds left in the league, and his team is only three points ahead of Real Sociedad. At the critical moment of competing for the league championship, he cannot be distracted, and neither should the players.
Distraction, so can we wait until the season is over?
Raiola also thinks that the idea of winning more games makes sense. Since the club's top management is discussing this issue, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, the season is almost over, and it is not a big deal to wait for six more league rounds.
In this way, the two parties reached a consensus that they would not discuss Ibrahimovic's contract extension until the end of the league.
※※※
After Chang Sheng successfully persuaded Raiola to calm down, he turned around and started to pursue Ronaldinho.
He left Paris Saint-Germain alone for half a week, and he felt that it was almost done.
So this time I made an offer of 35 million euros to buy Ronaldinho.
When Paris Saint-Germain finally received Valencia's offer, they couldn't tell how they felt.
They were suddenly looking forward to it, but they also felt a headache.
Thirty-five million euros, five million euros more than last time.
It seems that Valencia is very determined to compete for Ronaldinho...
Thirty-five million is a very high price.
but……
Paris Saint-Germain still refused.
But when they refused this time, they were looking forward to asking how much the next Valencia offer would be.
※※※
It's like a game of guessing between Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain doesn't know whether Valencia will come out with rock, paper, or scissors next time.
This time, Changsheng did not wait another half week, but gave a new quotation the next day.
Thirty-six million euros.
When Paris Saint-Germain received this offer, they were stunned.
It was previously increased from five to five million, but unexpectedly this time it suddenly shrank to one million.
Disappointed PSG rejected Valencia's offer.
Although 36 million is already very good, it is still somewhat different from their psychological expectations.
They are looking forward to using this direct rejection to let Valencia understand that your price increase is too little!
At this time, no one from Paris Saint-Germain considered whether Ronaldinho was for sale.
In the process of constantly rejecting Valencia's offers and receiving new offers from Valencia, Ronaldinho's status in their minds is gradually decreasing.
※※※
Paris Saint-Germain cleanly rejected an offer of 36 million euros, and they thought Valencia would soon make another offer.
Unexpectedly, they waited for a week this time and still haven't received a new quote.
It seems like Valencia has given up.
It stands to reason that they gave up pursuing Ronaldinho, which should make Paris Saint-Germain feel relaxed.
But why is Paris Saint-Germain a little disappointed?
It seems that the other party has given up, which is a very bad thing... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
