When Mourinho criticized Deco in an interview that he would regret moving to Valencia, Chang Sheng knew what Mourinho's purpose was.
He was worried that Deco would be influenced by Mourinho.
So he responded quickly without giving Deco a chance to be affected by this.
"I brought Deco from Porto. If Mourinho really appreciated Deco as he said, then he should try his best to retain Deco, but he didn't. Porto chose money instead of players. I
I don’t think he has the right to complain about Deco’s choice at this time. As for whether it is better to move to Valencia or stay in Porto, this question is so stupid that I don’t even want to answer it, but if you must ask, I will tell you.
:After the Champions League final, Mourinho will know how stupid this issue he is talking about is!"
Reporters just love to hear two coaches bickering at each other, analyzing tactics, etc. How can it be as exciting as this?
So the media was full of reports about the two head coaches having a war of words.
Chang Sheng successfully diverted media attention from Deco to himself.
Deco was hidden by him in advance.
But despite this, it cannot be said that this matter has no impact on Deco at all.
So Chang Sheng had to communicate with Deke in private.
This exchange was different from what he said to the media.
"Mourinho thinks your move to Valencia was a mistake, what do you think, Andres?"
Deco said without hesitation: "I have never regretted this decision, coach." Perhaps because he felt that his credibility was not high enough, Deco added: "Of course, at the beginning I was
I was a little skeptical...I thought I would never get a chance here. After all, Valencia is bigger than Porto..."
Chang Sheng laughed, this is a bit flattering. Valencia is not necessarily bigger than Porto. Valencia is more attractive than Porto because the stage of Valencia is bigger than that of Porto. One of the five major leagues in Europe
The Spanish League is, after all, higher than the second-tier European leagues such as the Portuguese Super League, and it attracts more attention.
Every player wants to play in the five major leagues, and is not willing to hang out in low-level competitions all his life, as long as they have the ability.
Deco has strength, and Valencia is naturally more attractive to him than Porto.
Chang Sheng did not let Deco continue talking because he felt that Deco was not good at doing this kind of thing.
"Let's talk about the game. Mourinho thinks that your transfer to Valencia was wrong. Regardless of whether he is right or not, at least it has had a certain impact on you in the media. I want to hear
Listen, what do you think after hearing this?"
"I think he is talking nonsense!" Deco was slightly excited.
"Yes, of course he is talking nonsense. But how do you prove that he is talking nonsense?"
"I won two league titles and a domestic cup title in Valencia...isn't that enough proof?"
Chang Sheng shook his head: "People will say that Mourinho's team has also won two league championships and a cup championship, and they also have one more European championship than us - the UEFA Cup championship."
Deco was asked.
If someone really spoke so forcefully to him, he really didn't know how he could get back to them.
"It's actually very simple, Andres." Chang Sheng followed the temptation, just like selling his soul to a person.
"Just beat Porto in the final and win the Champions League."
Deco's eyes lit up.
Yes, why didn't he think of it just now?
As long as I win the Champions League in Valencia, doesn't it mean that my transfer to Valencia is correct?
"Looking forward to your performance in the finals, Andres." Finally, Chang Sheng shook hands with Deco and ended the conversation.
When Deco went out, he clenched his fists and was full of fighting spirit.
This time he must use practical actions to tell Mourinho how right and wise he was when he chose to transfer to Valencia!
※※※
After the last round of the league, Chang Sheng led the team to Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The Schalke area here is the territory of Schalke 04.
And Mourinho's team has been waiting here for a long time.
That's why he thinks his team has an advantage over Valencia.
Compared with the tired Valencia, his team is waiting for work.
Moreover, Porto, where I have lived here for a week, is more suitable for the climate, venues, and even eating and living habits than Valencia, where I first arrived.
Even the time difference has changed from Greenwich Mean Time to Central European Time.
On the other hand, Valencia, a new arrival, will have a fierce battle with Porto at the Schalke Stadium in two days.
Two days is enough for them to prepare what?
At most, I may have to adapt to the venue, but I may not be able to adapt to it.
※※※
Both head coaches are personality coaches with bad tempers.
Under the instigation of the media, the head coach Liangwei was also happy to compete with the opponent.
So the war of words between them continued.
Chang Sheng, who had just gotten off the plane, ridiculed Mourinho as a coward for coming here more than a week in advance to prepare.
"I thought Porto was a Portuguese team, but it turned out to be a German team? Are they playing at home? It doesn't matter, we are used to playing away games."
Mourinho sneered at the ridicule of winning the game: "I don't want to say that Valencia is envious of us, but in fact they are envious of us because we have longer preparation time than them. This is our advantage.
, whether he admits it or not, why else wouldn’t he arrange a game the day before the Champions League final?”
The war of words between the two sides continued until the press conference before the game.
Unlike the kind of interviews with reporters, this occasion is more confirming. Of course, if you want to have a war of words, this stage is more suitable and more sensational.
Mourinho attended the press conference first.
At the press conference, he briefly introduced his team's situation, but he refused to reveal the starting lineup.
Then he focused on the winning tactics: "Some people say that Valencia plays the most advanced and most beautiful football in Europe. I completely cannot agree with this fallacy. Although Valencia has a high ball possession rate
, but how much of their ball possession was meaningless back and forth? I once watched a Valencia game, and at that time I thought that if everyone was saying they were good, then maybe I should learn something.
But I only watched ten minutes of the game before I turned off the TV in disgust! What did I see? I saw two Valencia defenders passing the ball back and forth for five minutes! The football was always between the two of them.
Passing has no intention of moving forward at all! I don’t understand, what’s so good about football like this? If football is just for showing off passing, is it still football? Isn’t it who scores more goals that determines the outcome of a football match?
When did it become who had more possession of the ball?"
Once Mourinho starts talking, he can't hold it back at all. He has a lot to say, which he usually keeps in his heart, but this time he finally found the opportunity to let it out.
"On the contrary, I think Valencia's football tactics are a regression and a typical example of a lack of progress. Once they need to defend, they will back and forth in the backcourt. This kind of kick is meaningless. It is just
In order to delay the game time, I think UEFA should severely punish this kind of negative game behavior! If everyone is like them, what else is there to watch in the game? Whichever team has the ball, they just keep kicking in the backcourt.
?Keeping the ball down until the 89th minute. After tiring the opponent, he took advantage of the opponent's numbness to counterattack and finally scored?"
His words elicited laughter from reporters.
Because what he said was quite vivid, everyone thought about it in their minds and found that this scene was very funny.
"I don't think anyone can claim to be the originator of tactics by copying Tiki-taka from Barcelona and then adapting it casually. And the copying failed miserably."
At this time, Mourinho has not yet fallen out with Barcelona, and he is even proud of the Barcelona brand on his body.
So he was very dissatisfied with Chang Sheng for copying Tiki-taka and then cheating.
※※※
Chang Sheng then heard Mourinho's evaluation of his tactics.
He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was still only 2004, and Mourinho's feelings for Barcelona had not yet deteriorated to the point where they would be in later generations.
Chang Sheng, who traveled back in time from that time, is still a little uncomfortable with the current Mourinho.
When Mourinho questioned his tactics, Chang Sheng smiled slightly: "I think Mr. Mourinho made one thing wrong - even if he said that my tactics were worthless, it would not help him win this game.
Champions League final. If an ugly and negative tactic can win the league championship in three seasons, then I would rather be ugly and negative! And whether it is really ugly and negative, this standard is probably not judged by Mr. Mourinho, but by
Fans. In fact, there are many neutral fans who like to watch Valencia games, and how many neutral fans are there in Porto?"
Chang Sheng in the camera smiles very confidently.
※※※
Like Mourinho, Chang Sheng did not release his starting lineup in advance. So after the press conference, the media were only excited about the quarrel between the two head coaches, but did not realize that neither of them actually got the starting lineup of both sides.
.
So the reporters had no choice but to say: "It seems that although the two head coaches shout fierce words, in fact they are very cautious and careful..."
This media accidentally told the truth.
Indeed, Chang Sheng and Mourinho are both very conservative people...
The two sides had a heated argument before the game, but judging from the results, it's hard to say who won.
So the outcome of this war of words ultimately comes down to the final itself.
Let's see whether Valencia defeated Porto or Mourinho was better.
Originally, this final was not attractive to the general public because neither of the participating teams was a wealthy one. Sponsors and broadcasters were not very enthusiastic. This situation will definitely cause sponsors and broadcasters to doubt the financial prospects of the Champions League.
Fortunately, the two teams that finally reached the Champions League final were Mourinho's Porto and the ever-winner Valencia.
Neither of these two people are fuel efficient.
Therefore, UEFA has a indulgent attitude towards the two men's verbal war, which is almost pointing at the nose and scolding each other.
The Champions League final needs to maintain enough attention, which is obviously difficult to achieve by just relying on the two teams.
Porto and Valencia are both bad teams. After all, Valencia still has a Ronaldinho. What does Porto have?
I don’t know them all!
At this time, two head coaches with unique personalities naturally become UEFA's life-saving straw.
UEFA tacitly allowed the two of them to attack each other at the pre-match press conference, and even secretly contributed to it.
UEFA's official website published introductions to the two young coaches before the final.
Their achievements and personalities are listed in great detail.
He looked like he was going to let them compete in the ring.
The media's enthusiasm was indeed aroused by the bickering between the two personality coaches, and with the media's hype, ordinary fans' interest in this Champions League final also gradually increased.
They even accepted the view promoted by the media - although this final is not a showdown between giants, with two young, bold and talented head coaches, there will definitely be exciting sparks. European football is getting old. This
Sometimes, we really need fresh blood. Mourinho and Chang Sheng are obviously the best among them.
The teams led by these two young coaches have their own imprints. The confrontation between these two teams will definitely be more exciting than the confrontation between the giants.
Wasn't last season's Champions League final a contest between the two Italian giants, AC Milan and Juventus?
But would anyone say that the final was good to watch?
It’s so boring! Watching such a showdown between giants, it’s better to watch the grassroots counterattacks of Valencia and Porto. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
