The next day, Juan Soler officially took office. Although he was no stranger to Valencia Club, this was his first time coming to Patna Sports City as president.
Here, he cordially met with almost all the staff, even the turf maintenance workers.
But he didn't always win.
Maybe he didn't think it was necessary to meet.
But this is not a good sign for Chang Sheng.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care about this. Soler doesn't see him, and he doesn't want to see Soler yet.
It's best if everyone doesn't see each other and doesn't interfere with each other.
But how could Sorel let him get his wish?
One day later, "SuperSport" reported that Soler was meeting secretly with Ranieri and planned to invite the Italian coach to coach Valencia again.
Another day later, the same "SuperSport" said that Bannister is expected to coach Valencia.
With Chang Sheng still in office, it was revealed in such a high-profile manner that Soler was looking for Chang Sheng's replacement. Soler's attitude towards Chang Sheng was already obvious.
No wonder Soler hasn't seen a lot of wins - what's the point of meeting someone who is destined to leave the team? What's the point of meeting someone who doesn't even talk about it?
※※※
After Soler came to power, there was a feeling that once he had the power, he would follow his orders.
As soon as he became the president of the club, he began to eagerly eliminate dissidents and install his cronies.
First of all, naturally we have to start with the people around Chang Sheng.
The first thing he did was to fire the Valencia team's medical staff headed by Lombart.
The reason he gave was that the team had frequent injuries in the new season, which must be related to the level of the team's doctors. The Valencia team's medical team, headed by Lombart, must be responsible for so many injured players!
Then he hired Ginelle as the new head of team medicine for the Valencia club.
Chang Sheng knew nothing about Ginelle. Who would care about who the team doctor of a team is and what his experience is? Unless he is a die-hard Valencia fan. But he is not.
Although the club's frequent new injuries should not have much to do with Lombart, Lombart is indeed not a high-level team doctor, so he was fired.
What made Chang Sheng wary was Soler's approach.
This clearly shows that they are adding sand to their own territory.
At least he is just arranging a team doctor, who knows what he will do next...
When Chang Sheng thinks that he has to fight with his opponents, the media, and his own club's top brass, he feels... his blood boils!
Fighting with others is endless fun!
He is not afraid of opponents or trouble, but he is afraid of smooth sailing and being too ordinary.
※※※
After Soler became the president of the club, he did not immediately cause trouble for Chang Sheng. Everything seemed to be fine.
Although Ginelle was later proven to be the medical consultant of the Soler family, he also behaved very low-key as a team doctor and did not use chicken feathers as darts to choke him.
This made Chang Sheng a little disappointed - he thought there would be a violent storm.
But at present, the team is not in a place that Soler wants to clean up immediately.
He is busy eliminating dissidents within the club...
Maybe after he finishes cleaning up the inside of the club, it will be the team's turn?
Chang Sheng decided not to think so much for the time being and concentrate on playing the game first. When Soler really makes a move, he will try again.
Anyway, at present, it seems that Soler has no intention of driving him away immediately, so he will do it now in Valencia.
※※※
In fact, Soler had the idea of getting rid of the winning team on his first day as club president.
He is the president of the club and he has the power to decide anyone's life or death. If he wants to fire someone, it only takes a minute.
But when he studied Chang Sheng's contract, he found that it would be uneconomical for him to fire Chang Sheng.
Because when Oti signed the contract with Chang Sheng, liquidated damages were stipulated.
If the Valencia club fires Chang Sheng, in addition to paying Chang Sheng his subsequent annual salary, he will also have to compensate Chang Sheng 30 million euros!
This is not a small sum for Valencia to come to the club.
You must know that Valencia's transfer budget per season is only 25 million euros...
When Soler first saw the contract, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed.
"How could that damn bastard Oti sign such a contract with that Chinese?!"
This contract was signed by Oti after Chang Sheng led the team to win the league championship.
At that time, in order to prevent Chang Sheng from being poached, liquidated damages were specifically stipulated.
If the club terminates the contract early, they will have to pay Chang Sheng liquidated damages.
If other teams want to poach Changsheng in advance, they will have to pay liquidated damages. Many teams will frown at 30 million to buy a player, let alone buy a head coach.
At the beginning, Oti did not expect that he would be dismissed after just two seasons. The liquidated damages clause he set was just to prevent opponents from poaching. He did not expect that he would fire Chang Sheng in advance. His miraculous performance in leading the team with Chang Sheng
, he was so full that he fired Chang Sheng early. Unexpectedly, in the end, Soler, who had a grudge against Chang Sheng, defeated him and became the chairman of Valencia Club, and planned to kick Chang Sheng out early...
…
So this just-in-case clause really plays a role as a precaution.
Oti himself did not expect that this clause did not trap the enemies outside, but first trapped the "own people" inside.
This one made Soler as sick as if he had swallowed a live fly.
Becoming the chairman of the club is not just about the glory. Since he wants to enjoy the glory of the club chairman, he must also bear the corresponding responsibilities.
He must solve the club's debt problem, otherwise the way he criticized and impeached Oti when he first took office will be the same way others can criticize and impeach him in the future.
There are already nearly 200 million in debt, and another 30 million will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire...
So although Oti really wanted to tell Chang Sheng to get out the next day.
But when he thought about having to pay 30 million plus a year's salary to that damn Chinese, he still chose to endure it.
Anyway, the original contract signed by Valencia and Changsheng was for 21 years, and this season is the last year of the two-year contract. Whether the contract can be successfully renewed for the new year depends on the wishes of both parties.
By then, the initiative is in his own hands. Even if Chang Sheng wants to stay and cries and begs himself to give him a chance, he can completely ignore him.
Just kick him away and that's it.
Anyway, Soler has figured it out. His ability to win consistently is at the level of a league champion. It is difficult to expect him to achieve a breakthrough in the European war.
If you were just a head coach who won the league championship, you would have a lot in the world. But if Valencia wants to become the third-largest force in Spain after Real Madrid and Barcelona, it must win in the Champions League.
It has always been Soler's dream to make Valencia the third pole.
He feels that winning often cannot bring Valencia such a future.
Then it makes sense to fire Chang Sheng.
He also believes that once he finally makes this decision, the backlash from fans will be relatively small.
He led the team to the league championship, but that is all in the past.
Take a long-term view. As time goes by, the excitement and joy of fans for winning the league title will gradually fade and eventually disappear.
Soler was full of confidence in his plan. He was satisfied and felt that everything was under his control.
Just let Chang Sheng bounce around for a few months.
Because after this period of time, he can no longer jump up!

The storm of high-level changes at Valencia Club quickly subsided. Because the storm was not reflected in the team, everyone lacked an intuitive feeling about the storm.
After all, most people's impression of the club mainly comes from the team.
As long as the team is not in chaos, they feel that everything is normal in the club.
In fact, before the ownership change of Valencia Club, the team's performance was not very stable.
But when the club began to understand the earthquake, the performance of the Valencia team began to recover.
Ronaldinho, who was previously criticized for his poor performance and sluggish form, also showed his strength.
He has gradually integrated into Valencia's tactical system and performed to his normal level.
From the high-level changes in the Valencia club until before Christmas, the winning team achieved seven consecutive victories in the league! Scored 13 goals and conceded only two!
Such an outstanding performance allowed them to firmly secure the first place in the league.
In the Copa del Rey, Valencia, who played as a full substitute, also defeated Murcia 2:0 at home and entered the third round.
In the Champions League group stage, Valencia finished first in the group with four wins and two draws, accumulating 14 points and advanced to the knockout rounds of the top 16.
It seems that this team has not been affected at all by the change of ownership of the club, just as if there have been no personnel changes at all in the senior management of Valencia Club...
Valencia fans breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they don't really care who is the president of the club, whether it's Otti or Soler. As long as he can bring a positive impression to the team, that's all.
Although there were several reports at the beginning that Soler was secretly contacting the new coach, so far, there has been no confirmation.
Therefore, it can basically be classified as “fake news”.
As long as they can maintain a winning streak, the team will continue to have childish longings and expectations for the new season...
Many Valencia fans expressed their welcome and support.
No one has ever doubted Juan Soler's love for the team.
Now it seems that he has love and reason, and he knows what he should really do for the team as a club president.
At this time, apart from being victorious, people do not have the ability to predict the future.
So no one could have imagined that in just a few years, Valencia would enter the darkest years under the leadership of Soler... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature and recommend it.
