Chapter 136 We just want to be undefeated in the season, what's going on?
Chang Sheng did not ask his players to answer his question, because this question did not need to be answered. There is no point in answering it in words, let's look at the actual performance.
Even if you roar loudly now, it won't matter if you can't win the game by then.
He is telling the players this now, just hoping that the players will be mentally prepared.
From the players' training status, he saw the players' response to this - they were willing to accept such a challenge!
Obviously, they were all moved by Chang Sheng.
No one wants to be a team that relies on bad luck to become the league champion, and then have to return to its original shape after one season.
When the media says that they won the championship only because of good luck, it will be too unfair to them who have worked hard for a season. Is their hard work so ignored?
So Valencia's players all want to win the championship in an indisputable way.
There's nothing better than being on the team that wins the championship undefeated.
When Chang Sheng saw the active and serious players in training, he knew that his words had an effect.
Next comes training and competition.

In the 31st round, Valencia faced Osasuna at home.
Many media believed that this game was not easy for Valencia to play.
Although they were playing at home, the media still listed several disadvantages.
First of all, they had just been eliminated from the UEFA Cup, their morale was low and their state was unstable.
Secondly, players are constantly running around to fight, which consumes a lot of physical energy. To win, they must rotate, so the overall strength of the team will inevitably be weakened.
Third, although Osasuna is playing away from home, they are a relegation team. With eight rounds left before the end of the league, they are deep in the relegation zone. If they want to climb out, every point is very valuable.
This... unfavorable factor is enough for Valencia to drink at home.
But before the game, Chang Sheng made a declaration that no one expected.
"I noticed what was said in the media. They said we were knocked out of the UEFA Cup because we were obsessed with that illusory unbeaten season? I gave an explanation, but no one seemed to believe it? Well, if
As you wish, this season, Valencia’s goal is to remain undefeated!”
A group of reporters looked at each other, not expecting Chang Sheng to mention this matter.
Isn’t this why the pot should be lifted if it is not opened?
In fact, what Chang Sheng thinks is that since the media has said so, it is better to let Valencia go undefeated in the season.
Didn’t you say that we couldn’t do it, didn’t you say that we were fanciful, didn’t you say that we were obsessed with being undefeated in the season and ended up empty-handed?
Okay, I will really bring it back to you so that you can take a good look at it!
Torla raised his hand and asked: "It is great to have an undefeated season, but will this increase the burden on the team and put too much pressure on the players?"
Chang Sheng said proudly: "I trained them just to make them endure pressure!"
※※※
That night, the announcement of an undefeated season spread throughout Spain.
Originally, everyone was paying attention to this matter before. Whether they were supportive or skeptical, they were all very interested.
But after Valencia was eliminated from the UEFA Cup, even the local media in Valencia began to reflect on whether their previous hype of being undefeated in the season really caused trouble for the team.
Who would have thought that Chang Sheng would now proactively propose such a goal on behalf of the team.
This means that going undefeated in the season will no longer be their intention, but will become an officially supported action!
But they are actually not excited, because their exit from the UEFA Cup poured cold water on their heads and made them realize how difficult it is to go undefeated in the season.
The TV programs at night were the quickest to respond. Many football or sports programs were discussing what Chang Sheng said at the pre-match press conference.
The guests also expressed their opinions.
But it’s all the same old stuff, the same stuff that the media says is bad.
What no team has been able to do in 70 years, what is so difficult, what few teams in Europe can do...
Anyway, they just don't believe Valencia can do it.
※※※
On the day of the game, Chang Sheng said to all the players in the locker room: "Guys, I have put my words out there. Some people say I am talking big words, some people think we are bluffing, and some people think we are overestimating our capabilities. I believe it.
As long as you pay attention to the newspapers and TV these two days, you will know what the media said. Now, there are eight rounds of the league, eight rounds, eight slaps, let us slap those grandsons hard!"
The media thought it should be a difficult game. The final result was that Valencia swept Osasuna 6:0 at home, stabbing Osasuna six times in the relegation circle. It was simply too horrible to watch...
…
When the game ended, all the reporters were stunned. Even the commentator thought the game was incredible.
Because during the game, the Valencia players did not show any signs of fatigue, and there was no sign that their morale was low because they were eliminated from the UEFA Cup.
There was nothing. A team with high morale easily defeated a difficult relegation team with six goals at its home court.
At the post-match press conference, Osasuna head coach Miguel Angel Lotina shook his head helplessly:
"The strength gap between the two sides is too big. This score is a big blow to us, but there is no way. Valencia is almost invincible this season!"
His words seemed to predict that Valencia would end the season undefeated.
When it was Chang Sheng's turn to play, he sat on the chair with a proud look on his face: "Who said this game is difficult to play? Ah?"
Some reporters were not convinced and stood up and said: "This is just a game, and..."
Chang Sheng interrupted him rudely: "Yes, there are still seven games and seven slaps left!"

Having been eliminated from the UEFA Cup, Valencia has no other games and they can devote all their energy to the league.
This ensures their efficiency.
In the 32nd round of the league, Valencia challenged Getafe away.
There was no atmosphere of excitement in this game from before it started, but only a strong sense of warmth.
Although Chang Sheng has left, Getafe fans still regard him as one of their own.
A week before this game, the local media in Getafe began to lead fans to recall every detail of their victory here.
Interviewed many players, coaches, and fans to let them talk about their impressions of winning.
Made a special feature for Chang Sheng’s return.
When Chang Sheng returned to the Alfonso Pérez Stadium, the Pérez Stadium was packed and he was warmly welcomed by 17,000 Getafe fans.
Here, he looks more like a star than Ibrahimovic, Mendete and other stars.
Even the Valencia players and fans were surprised by the enthusiasm shown by the Getafe fans.
It's rare for a coach to get such treatment when he returns to his previous team.
It's not that no one has been welcomed, but their popularity is far inferior to that of Chang Sheng.
Some Valencia fans asked the Getafe fans around them: "Is Chang so popular with you? But he has left you after all, why are you still so enthusiastic?"
Enrique Gonzalez proudly said to this confused Valencia fan: "Because Chang has brought new life to our Getafe!"
The Valencia fans who asked the question were a little surprised when they saw Enrique Gonzalez's proud expression.
Getafe's prospects of relegation this season are very slim, but he saw such proud and proud expressions on the faces of fans of a relegation team, which made this Juan Jose Delgado Martin.
Lencia fans were surprised.
Then he began to chew on what the Getafe fan said to him.
"Because Chang has brought new life to us at Getafe!"
What does rebirth... mean?
He doesn't quite understand.
He knows too little about Getafe. Just like an ordinary Valencia fan, his knowledge of Chang Sheng before coming to Valencia was limited to what was introduced by the media. The focus was still on results.
superior.
But the results can only explain the winning coaching ability, but they cannot explain the "new life".
He looked around, and the stands were filled with cheers from Getafe fans. They waved their arms and kept shouting: "Always! Always! Always! Our King! Always!!"
This scene left him in a daze - who is the winning team?
Even in Mestalla, he had never seen Valencia fans treat Chang Sheng like this.
※※※
When the game started, the cheers did not completely stop.
Chang Sheng did not show mercy just because Getafe fans treated him this way.
His team beat Getafe 3:0 away from home.
A complete victory over Getafe pushed Getafe further into the abyss of relegation.
Perhaps because of knowing this, when the team scored a goal in the game, everyone else cheered, not Chang Sheng, nor Rudy Gonzalez, who was beside Chang Sheng.
When it comes to his feelings for Getafe, Rudy Gonzalez is even better.
Pushing Getafe into the abyss of relegation with your own hands is something no one wants to see.
After the game, Chang Sheng shook hands with Getafe's new head coach Pepe Mel. Manuel Garcia had been dismissed after the last match between the two sides, and Pepe Mel was his successor.
who.
But it is obvious that leading the team to the First Division is beyond his capabilities.
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng expressed encouragement to Getafe: "Undefeated in the league? I don't want to say this now, I just want to say Getafe. Although the situation is very difficult, I don't think it is necessary to give up.
I hope Getafe can try their best to play the last six games. Maybe they can’t escape the fate of failure even if they try hard in the end, but it’s better than doing nothing and being relegated, right?”
No reporter ridiculed him for standing and talking without back pain. His feelings for Getafe were obvious to all.
Although there are many remarks from the outside world that discredit Chang Sheng, people here in Getafe will never do this. Even if what the media said is true, at least when Chang Sheng faced Getafe, it was definitely not them.
As described.
After participating in the press conference after the new game, Chang Sheng did not return to Valencia with the team, but stayed with Rudy Gonzalez. Anyway, the team has a day off tomorrow, so Chang Sheng is not in a hurry to go back.
.
He and Rudy Gonzalez went to visit Manuel Garcia who was unemployed at home.
Had a meal with colleagues who were in Getafe.
Then Chang Sheng was free to move around alone.
The next day, he went to Jonathan's house.
When he knocked on the door, he was surprised to find Jonathan's mother with a bulging belly and a happy smile on her husband's face.
So Chang Sheng also laughed.
Photos of Jonathan are still hanging at home, as well as various gifts given to him by his team. Chang Sheng also saw his King's Cup gold medal in the cabinet.
The grief of losing their beloved son a year ago has gradually dissipated, and the family has begun a new life.
We always have to look forward and move forward. How can we gain the courage to continue living when we are always immersed in the memories of the past?
The reason why people can persist in living after encountering so much suffering is because there are countless possibilities in the future, one of which is called "hope".
After sitting at Jonathan's house for a while, Chang Sheng stood up and left.
The couple walked Chang Sheng to the door and said a warm goodbye to him.
When Chang Sheng walked out of the slightly shady corridor and stood on the sidewalk with mottled tree shadows, he looked back at the window where Jonathan's house was.
He found Jonathan's parents standing there, waving goodbye to him.
He smiled, raised his hands, and said goodbye to them.
I recall how I felt when I sat here quietly for a long time a year ago, read the letter, and then decided to leave.
I am completely different from who I am today.
From now on, working hard to live a good life is the best answer to the feeling of confusion and loss.
Then he walked further and further away through the mottled tree shadows.
