It was the next day when Chang Sheng received a call from Torla on his mobile phone that he discovered that he had become the coach of Barcelona for next season that was being hotly anticipated by the whole city.
"I don't know, what's going on?" Chang Sheng, who just listened to Torla's brief description of the situation, was still confused.
"To put it simply, Laporta regards you as a bargaining chip for his election. Now Valencia fans are very concerned about your next stop. Will you really become Barcelona's head coach in the new season as rumored?
?”
Chang Sheng smiled: "How is this possible?"
Yes, how is this possible? You worked so hard to recruit Ronaldinho, how could you just slap your butt and run away?
The Valencia team has his hard work, his ideals and concepts.
He wants to show his talents in this team, what's the benefit of going to Barcelona?
"Tell the Valencia fans that I will not leave Valencia for Barcelona, so they don't have to worry."
Torla went to write an article to refute the rumors, but Chang Sheng became interested in the Catalan media reports.
So he went online to look for relevant reports about Catalonia.
Using "Chang" and "Barcelona" to do keyword searches, he really found a lot of related content.
Why did Laporta publicly declare at a supporter's gathering that he had figured him out, and why did Cruyff hand-pick him to coach Barcelona?
Seeing that Cruyff actually nominated him, Chang Sheng was still a little vain.
He knew very well who Cruyff was, that such an arrogant old man would think highly of him. To put it bluntly, it showed that his strength was recognized by Cruyff.
Guardiola was also appointed by Cruyff at the beginning, but his results in Barcelona were seen by everyone.
So the smug Chang Sheng planned to find Cruyff's original text to see exactly how Cruyff praised him.
Real Madrid is always victorious, but he doesn't have a particularly deep hatred against Barcelona, so he still deserves the praise from people in Barcelona.
If it were Florentino who praised him, he would probably be dismissive.
He quickly found Cruyff's original text.
But the more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
Although Cruyff affirmed his coaching ability, why did he feel that Cruyff always showed such a strong sense of superiority between the lines?
"I believe Chang is also happy to join Barcelona. After all, this is a leap in his personal career and an excellent opportunity. If Chang is a smart person, he will definitely not miss this choice." It seems like he is crying.
It’s like shouting that he wants to join Barcelona.
Chang Sheng frowned, he didn't like this feeling.
You are obviously using me to hype me up, and you also describe me as someone who wants to join Barcelona, as if my goal in this life is to coach Barcelona...
The problem is that I really don’t want to coach you...
My grudge against Real Madrid is not a reason for you to be happy. My grudge against Real Madrid has nothing to do with you. Can you please stop using me as an excuse?
Chang Sheng felt unhappy after seeing this, so he stopped caring about this issue. He closed the webpage and prepared to go out for training.

At the training ground, Chang Sheng noticed something was wrong with Pep's performance today.
Every time he looked at Guardiola, the other person would look at him and then hesitate to speak.
Chang Sheng asked him jokingly: "If you want to confess to me, just tell me. Although I will be very moved, I still can't agree to you."
It made the coaches around him burst into laughter.
Guardiola rolled his eyes at him, and then finally said what he said: "After training, let's talk alone, Chang."
Chang Sheng looked surprised: "Isn't it right? Do you really want to confess?"
The coaches around him smiled even more happily.
Guardiola ignored the pretense and won.
This matter was already very troublesome, and he was not in the mood to joke with Chang Sheng.
Seeing Guardiola turn around and walk away, Chang Sheng touched his chin and thought Guardiola's reaction was strange: "Pep is not feeling right today. Is there something on his mind?"
"Didn't you tell me everything? I'm going to confess my love to you, and my heart is pounding. I'm so nervous." Rudy Gonzalez said to Chang Sheng beside him.
Chang Sheng glanced at him: "Don't worry, I will always only love you."
Faced with such a shameless victory, Rudy Gonzalez could only lose: "Get lost! I'm not interested in men!"
After the training, Chang Sheng called Guardiola alone to his office.
"Tell me, what's the matter, Pep? Besides, if you're serious, I won't agree to confessions or anything like that."
Guardiola had no intention of joking with Chang Sheng. He frowned and said: "I was entrusted by someone to ask you if you are willing to coach Barcelona next season..."
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Guardiola to come to him for this matter.
Seeing that Chang Sheng was stunned, Guardiola thought that Chang Sheng felt it was difficult to answer him, so he added: "I am just a messenger, you don't have to feel pressure, it doesn't matter whether you agree or reject. In fact, I feel that you
It’s impossible to leave Valencia…”
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng raised his head and said: "Who are you passing the message to, Pep?"
Guardiola hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "Laporta."
Chang Sheng smiled: "Give him my phone number and let him call me himself. Pass it around. I'm afraid there will be problems."
Guardiola stared at Chang Sheng with wide eyes. He did not expect Chang Sheng to answer like this. He originally thought Chang Sheng would reject him cleanly.
"Is this okay?" he asked.
Chang Sheng nodded: "Okay."
"Okay, I'll give him your phone number when I get back."
"You can give it to him now."
"No, I don't think it's appropriate for me to be around when you guys are talking about things."
Chang Sheng wanted to say, "There is nothing inappropriate, I just rejected him face to face." However, when he thought about saying this to Guardiola, he might find it difficult to do so, because he was trained by Barcelona and is a pure person.
Barcelona native.

In the evening, Guardiola called Laporta and told him the result of his conversation with Chang Sheng.
After hearing that Chang Sheng took the initiative to give him his phone number, Laporta smiled proudly.
He winked triumphantly at Russell, who was sitting across from him.
Russell was a little surprised - no way? Chang Sheng actually agreed?
Can Barcelona, which was almost relegated, still have such great appeal?
After hanging up the phone with Guardiola, Laporta said to Russell: "Look, Sandro, I just told you that few people in the world can refuse Barcelona's invitation!
Especially Chang, what he plays in Valencia is actually our football, what does this mean? It means that he has a good impression of us!"
Russell asked: "What? He agreed?"
Laporta smiled and shook his head: "No. But it's almost the same. He gave me his phone number and he hopes to talk to me directly. What does this mean? There should be no suspense, right?"
Russell fell silent.
If you don't have a good relationship with someone, or if you have any ideas, there's generally no need to take the initiative to leave your phone number.
If Barcelona can really recruit a consistent winner...then maybe we can look forward to it in the new season.
Laporta started calling Chang Sheng.
※※※
Chang Sheng received a call from Laporta in the evening. He thought to himself that Guardiola said he would give it in the evening, but the other party called him in the evening. It seemed quite sincere. But it is a pity that I have to reject them.
As soon as I picked up the phone, a middle-aged man's voice rang over there: "Hello, this is Laporta. Is this Mr. Chang?"
"Hello, Mr. Laporta. I always win."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Laporta directly stated his intention: "I believe you should have heard from Pep that we at Barcelona are very sincere. How have you considered it?"
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, why did he ask how he was thinking as soon as he came up?
Is there any misunderstanding here?
I didn't say I would consider it.
So he had to say: "I think there is something wrong, Mr. Laporta. I am not interested in coaching Barcelona... I have no intention of coaching Barcelona."
When Laporta heard Chang Sheng's answer, he thought he heard it wrong.
"What?"
"I mean, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't plan to leave Valencia and coach Barcelona. I have no such plan." Chang Sheng repeated.
※※※
Russell noticed that the smile on Laporta's face froze after he said "what". He couldn't hear what was being said over there, but he thought it must not be something good...
Laporta couldn't care less about Russell's eyes.
At this time, all he could think about was "How is this possible?"
He thought that with Barcelona's name, it would be easy to attract regular wins. Although Barcelona's performance this season was somewhat poor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, Barcelona is the only one in Spain that can compete with Real Madrid.
Madrid is comparable to a wealthy club.
Chang Sheng refused directly!
What was going on in his head?
He subconsciously advised: "Coaching Barcelona is definitely an excellent opportunity for you, Mr. Chang. We are completely different from Valencia. Barcelona is a giant, a real giant!"
When he said this, his tone was particularly proud, revealing a sense of pride.
Yes, even if we are ranked seventh, we are still a wealthy family!
Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard Laporta say this: "I don't think coaching Barcelona is a chance for me. I did a good job in Valencia, Mr. Laporta."
As he spoke, his tone became colder.
Chang Sheng has never been a good-tempered person.
Now hearing the faint sense of superiority in Laporta's tone reminded Chang Sheng of Cruyff's words when he saw him that morning.
It seems like Barcelona is interested in me, but they still give me charity.
Regardless of whether I agree or not, whether I like it or not, whether I am willing or not, I must kneel on the ground and kowtow three times before shouting "Long Live Thank You" for the reward.
And once you don't get what they want, you will immediately change your attitude.
Chang Sheng was very unhappy with Barcelona's sense of superiority, very, very unhappy.
He didn't understand how a team that hadn't even qualified for the UEFA Cup had the right to show off its superiority in front of the league's top player.
Glorious history?
Don’t be ridiculous, brother, is China’s five thousand years of civilization glorious?
brilliant!
As a result, you are not beaten like a lost dog in modern times. You can still only live under the rules of Western-led civilization. If you dare not abide by their rules of the game, they will suppress you in various ways.
So historical glory is useless. Now, at this moment, what qualifications do you, Barcelona, have to be superior to me?
"I am very grateful for your appreciation of me, but this does not mean that I have to accept your invitation. One yard after another, I don't think Barcelona today is comparable to my Valencia. If you don't believe it, one week
I don’t mind proving it to you in the next league.”
