Although Chang Sheng wanted to occupy the domestic media position overnight, he really couldn't rush this matter.
First of all, he has no one he can trust in the Chinese media. His uncle is helping him manage legal matters in China, but media is not a job that Pei Wei is good at.
Media public relations work requires first of all a person who understands the media, preferably an insider. Secondly, it is a person with good character. Only a person with good character can be trusted to win. He may lack work ability, but he cannot be without people.
Of course, you have to be trustworthy and familiar with the product. If you are not familiar with it, you will not be able to cooperate.
It's just that the first requirement is easy to meet, but the second and... are more difficult.
There are many people in the circle, but it is difficult to find people in the circle who have good character and are trustworthy.
So Chang Sheng can only put this matter aside now and concentrate on work. After all, the team's training is the most important thing.
The people bought by Changsheng have not participated in the World Cup, so on the registration date specified by the team, these newly joined players came to the team for physical examination, signing and reporting.
Only then did Chang Sheng meet the players he had named to buy. Except for Arbeloa and Mista, it was the first time for the other two to meet.
Cambiaso returned from Argentina, packed his luggage in Madrid, and came to Valencia.
Deco ended his vacation in Brazil early, returned to Porto, packed his bags, and rushed to Valencia.
The four newly joined players just came together.
They even chatted during the physical examination.
By the time the physical examination was over, the four of them had pretty much chatted.
The relationship is much closer than it was at the beginning.
What they talked about most when they got together was what kind of person their new head coach was.
On this issue, Mista has the absolute authority to speak.
Because he is the only one who has worked with Chang Sheng for one season.
So basically he talks, and the other three people listen, and occasionally they ask if they don't understand something.
After asking one question after another, the image of the head coach Chang Sheng in their minds was gradually established.
According to Mista's description, Chang Sheng is a head coach who has strict training requirements and strict competition requirements. He does not like to get along with the players very much. Most of the time he is with the coaches.
Arbeloa had questions: "Then why, from what you said, do you players have a good relationship with him?"
Mista smiled: "It's very simple, because he can bring us victory and championship! As a player, who doesn't like victory? Who doesn't want a championship?"
Such a simple rhetorical question left Arbeloa speechless and made the other two players fall into deep thought.
Finally, Mista said to his three new teammates: "Actually, they are very easy to get along with. Just train and compete seriously. You don't have to worry about him usually. As long as he doesn't violate discipline, he usually won't cause trouble for you."
As long as you follow him, you can win the championship. There is no need to consider anything else. I think getting along with Chang is very simple. If you give it wholeheartedly, he will repay you wholeheartedly."
After he finished speaking, several other players fell into deep thought.
Everyone hopes that their new head coach is an easy person to get along with, and no one wants to cooperate with those who are difficult to get along with. But after listening to Mista's words, they are not sure whether their new head coach is a good person.
It’s still difficult to get along with each other...
They then met their new coach.
A young, over-the-top Chinese guy.
Although the winning image has appeared in the media many times in the past two seasons, they are rarely seen in real life.
Looking through a TV screen or a newspaper photo is always a bit unreal.
Especially Deco and Cambiaso.
Arbeloa and Mista are both people who have seen wins, but the other two have not. Cambiaso has played in Argentina for four consecutive seasons. In name, he is a player of Real Madrid, but in fact the team
This all-powerful head coach in La Liga actually knows nothing.
The same goes for Deco. He has been playing football in Portugal and doesn't know much about Spanish football.
He knew very little about Chang Sheng, let alone seeing it in person.
When Chang Sheng appeared in front of them, the two players were a little surprised.
Because Chang Sheng is so young, he looks more like a player than a coach.
They were stunned for a moment, and then saw Mista shouting excitedly: "Coach!" They realized that they really have a winning streak, their new head coach.
So they also took a closer look at Chang Sheng.
I heard that he is almost thirty years old, but maybe because Asians look young, he looks younger than his actual age.
He is not tall, has a well-proportioned figure, and always has a smile on his face.
He seemed very happy when he saw Mista, and even said hello to Arbeloa.
Then he looked at the other two people, Deco and Cambiaso.
He extended his hand to both of them: "Welcome to choose Valencia, guys. You will know in the future, this is the most correct decision in your career!"
Deco and Cambiasso were unprepared to accept the unruly and arrogant nature of winning.

At the press conference for new players to join the team, Chang Sheng even let several new players see why he was called a "public enemy" by the media.
When a reporter from the Madrid area maliciously questioned the winning signings, selling the team's captain and stars, and bringing in all the unknowns.
The smile on Chang Sheng’s face grew even brighter.
At first, Deco, Cambiasso, and Alberoa, who had only had one chance to win, felt strange.
How could Chang Sheng still smile when everyone was so nakedly slapped in the face?
Then Chang Sheng's smile became brighter and brighter. When the reporter finished asking the questions, looking at Chang Sheng's face, one would have thought that the reporter had just flattered Chang Sheng severely.
Then Chang Sheng had a smile on his face, but snorted from his nose: "In my first season in Getafe and Valencia, I bought nobodies. What happened to these nobodies now? You are a reporter
, you should know better than me, if not, go back and check. I have no obligation to teach you. But the signings in the past two seasons can already prove my vision. Question my vision? You are not qualified yet!"
The three new players sat next to Chang Sheng and looked at each other - their new coach didn't have a very good temper, and he spoke so irritably...
Looking at the reporters in the audience, no one showed any surprise at all, they seemed to be used to it.
Even the reporter who was scolded by Chang Sheng only had an unhappy look on his face and had no other further words.
One reporter was asked to stand up and ask: "Aren't you worried that comparing new players to old players who have already achieved success will put too much pressure on them?"
Hearing this question, Chang Sheng turned to look at the new players. He did not answer, but motioned for them to answer the question themselves.
Mista is indeed a player who has worked with Chang Sheng for one season, and he knows that now is the time to show his loyalty.
So he was the first to take up the conversation.
"Pressure? As a professional player, you have to face all kinds of pressure. I have confidence in myself and my head coach."
Mista is a player who has worked with Chang Sheng for one season. It is understandable that he stood up and spoke for his head coach.
But the second one to speak was Deco, which surprised everyone.
In fact, Deco had thought about it before speaking.
It is impossible for him to return to Porto. Coming to Valencia from Porto can be regarded as a career progress. This is an opportunity that he should really seize.
He doesn't know if he can play the main role when he comes to Valencia, but he doesn't want to be a substitute.
"I'm not afraid of competition, whether it's with my current teammates or those who have left." It was not easy for the shy Deco to say such murderous words.
However, he knows very well that if he wants to get the main position in Valencia, where there are many experts, he must have murderous intent.
Although he is shy, he knows exactly what to do on the training ground and on the court.
Seeing that Deco had taken the lead, Arbeloa also quickly expressed his position: "I am confident to cope with the pressure!"
Finally, it was Cambiaso. The Argentine midfielder who currently still has hair on his head spoke last not because he was slow, but because he was very confident.
"I'm not afraid of pressure."
Seeing that all four people had finished speaking, Chang Sheng looked at the reporters with a smile.
"I hope you are satisfied with this answer."

After the meeting with the new players, Chang Sheng met Deco's agent Mendes again in his office.
The future Portuguese agent giant is no stranger to winning ways.
He had already met Mendes once in his life, but that time both parties just settled the transfer matters on a routine basis and broke up.
He did not invite Mendes to come to his office for a chat, nor did Mendes himself make such a request.
This time it was different. Mendes took the initiative to express his hope to meet Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng knew that he already had a status in the mind of the Portuguese agent.
Mendes knows how to build a good relationship with someone.
First of all, you can't show too much enthusiasm, as that will make people suspect that you have bad intentions. This is the saying that showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Secondly, don't rush to express your intention when you meet for the first time, when both parties are not familiar with each other. This will not make the other party take you seriously.
In short, be neither humble nor overbearing, and don't show too much interest. Just communicate at work.
After having such contact for the first time, you will not be too wary of yourself when you contact the other party in the future.
Before Mendez came to meet Chang Sheng, he had specifically studied the person he wanted to meet.
He pieced together the character and image of Chang Sheng from those media reports.
He found that Chang Sheng is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. If you have a tough attitude, then he is tougher than you. In addition, his impression of his agent does not seem to be good. So if he behaves in front of Chang Sheng
If you have too much of a sense of superiority, you may be afraid that the ones who will be unlucky in the end will definitely not be Chang Sheng, but you and your own players.
But if you are too weak, you will let this person seize the opportunity to take advantage of you.
So Mendes acted neither humble nor overbearing this time.
He didn't make any unreasonable demands, such as giving Carvalho a salary increase.
He just conveyed his goodwill to Chang Sheng, saying that if Deco had any difficulty adapting here, whether it was because he was not training seriously or he was homesick and lost his temper, Chang Sheng could contact him at any time and he would be responsible for handling it.
He handed over his business card, and the other party got his phone number, and the initial contact was established.
Chang Sheng took the business card and smiled: "The agent is also responsible for being the player's nanny?"
Mendes smiled slightly: "What I pay attention to as an agent is service. Unlike some agents who just sell players to the team and that's it. When I sell the players to you, I am also responsible for their food and accommodation in the new environment.
OK, help them adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. I think this is also a good thing for your team, isn't it?"
Chang Sheng nodded, he was very interested in the concept that Mendes' agent sells not players, but services.
And admit Mendes is right.
In fact, head coaches hope that the players they introduce can integrate into the team as quickly as possible and contribute to the team. No one wants to buy a bunch of high-paid substitutes who can't adapt to the team in a long time.
He also understood why Mendes would quickly become a well-known agent in Europe in the future. It may not be as simple as relying on Mourinho's Porto to win the Champions League.
Successful people must have something extraordinary.
He felt that it was really relaxing and comfortable to work with this agent who knew the rules. At least it was much more comfortable than working with Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola.
So he took the initiative to extend his hand: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation, Mr. Mendez."
In the future, the most famous agent in European football quickly came up to catch Chang Sheng's hand and shook it: "Happy cooperation!"
Such a famous agent is now respectful to himself, and Chang Sheng has a smile full of accomplishment on his face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to search Piao Tian on Baidu and collect and recommend it.
