Chapter 226: Competing for the Golden Boot (Second Update)
For the media, Valencia are really a ruthless team.
This is not a winning thing, it is a tradition at Valencia FC.
Before Cortez became president of the club, Valencia regularly sold the team's heroes and main players.
If one of the most impersonal teams in Spanish football were to be picked, Valencia would be at the top of the table.
After the mid-90s of the last century, they always dared to take the stars and coaches to attack, and the methods were ruthless and the human touch was indifferent.
In the 1994-1995 season, Valencia found the four-time champion coach of the Brazilian national team, Perez, to seek a position, but the seventh result in the league made the bat management kick the Brazilian body, and the old man recalled the past more than ten years later and was still resentful: "They are not as polite as the Saudis!" ”
Since then, Valencia's characteristics have become more and more prominent, and the lone wolf Romario single-handedly kicked Bayern Munich out of the League Cup, but where is Romario in the second half of the year? Corinthians!
As for Ortega, the little donkey who joined before the World Cup, although he performed well in the strong dialogue with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but after the World Cup, the white number ten of the bat army wore the blue number ten of Sampdoria......
As soon as Valencia started to achieve results, the club's hierarchy began to sell. Almost every time.
After reaching the Champions League final for the first time, Valencia's then invincible midfielder was dismantled and sold. Gerard was redeemed by Barcelona for twenty-four million dollars. Claudio. López was able to defeat Lazio after being beaten by the other country, and Cragnotti also gave 23 million. Fallanos also went to Inter Milan.
Later, Chang Sheng took office, and the root is to give full play to this tradition.
As soon as he became the head coach of the team, he sold seven people in one go. Among them is Valencia's left-winger Kieli. Gonzalez.
In the second season, after winning the league title, he sold the team's captain Mendieta and the absolute combination, the attacking core Aimar, and the high school striker Karui.
……
There is absolutely no loyalty or trust in the language of football in the city that once shed the blood of Cid, the founding father of Spain.
But if Valencia's previous fire sale of players was due to the team's unsatisfactory results, it was necessary to sell players to raise transfer funds and transfer new blood. If you do a team rebuild.
Then the idea of selling people who often wins can't be understood.
Because he always does it after his success in Valencia.
Valencia had just won the league title last season when news came that Mendieta and Real Madrid had reached an agreement.
Then in the summer, Aimar was also sold to Inter Milan for 30 million.
There was an uproar together.
And this season, how similar is it to last season? It was also Valencia that had just confirmed the champion, and the news appeared in the media that Inter Milan had made an offer to Valencia FC for Ibrahimovic. And there are many more follow-up clubs to come......
No matter how you look at Ibrahimovic, it's also a rhythm to go.
This season, there has been a lot of news about Ibrahimovic dissatisfied with his low salary and asking for a raise, and everyone knows that Ibrahimovic has not had a good time in Valencia.
Last season, Chang Win sold the captain of the team cleanly, so can he sell Ibrahimovic so hard-hearted this season?
※※※
Chang Sheng scoffed at Inter Milan's offer of just 15 million euros. Rejected it outright.
No 30 million, no need to talk!
When interviewed by reporters. Chang Sheng announced that Ibrahimovic was not for sale.
'I know the rumours, but the Inter offer is not a rumour, I can confirm it's true.' When Chang Sheng said this in front of many reporters. Everyone is excited - is there another earth-shattering transfer to be made?
But Chang Sheng went on to say: "But we have rejected Inter's offer, it has nothing to do with the price. Ibrahimovic is an important part of the squad. When you have a Golden Boot scorer with a season tally of 36, I don't think you want him to leave. ”
Despite what he said, the reporters didn't care.
Because there are so many words like that.
Chang Sheng's announcement that Ibrahimovic is not for sale does not mean that Valencia will not really sell the crane.
What is the Valencian tradition. These journalists couldn't be clearer.
Chang Sheng's mouth is hard, but he just wants to ask for a sky-high price.
Ibrahimovic's performances and results this season, fifteen million euros is indeed too little.
In fact, everyone wonders why Inter Milan is so active. They bought Aimar from Valenciali for 30 million last season. As a result, Aimar did not reflect his value at all, and under the huge pressure of a transfer fee of 30 million euros, he was lost in the reinforced concrete defense of Italy.
Haven't Inter learned their lesson from this transfer deal?
And come to join in the fun and buy Ibrahimovic...... Is Moratti's money really that much? So much that you can't use it up, but you want to have as little as you want?
※※※
Inter's offer was rejected and did not stop the others
Offer from the club.
In less than a week. There were four offers, all of which were from the most famous clubs in European football.
However, their offers are hovering around 20 million.
There is no hurry to win, the time is still long, and the league is not over yet. He's got a whole summer to do it.
So he rejected all these offers of about 20 million!
Then the final round of the league came as scheduled.
Match against Sevilla. Ibrahimovic continued to start, and Chang Win replaced the main force in all positions, which is to keep Ibrahimovic.
The pre-match win meant that the whole team in Valencia would support Ibrahimovic to win the Golden Boot.
This made Raioara think that Chang Sheng did not dare to sell Ibrahimovic.
If you want to rely on him for success, you must meet your own requirements.
So Raiola came to watch the game with a relaxed mindset that had nothing to fear.
He didn't think Chang Sheng really dared to sell Ibrahimovic.
In fact, he also wants Ibrahimovic to stay in Valencia for two more seasons. I can see everything now. Valencia, led by Chang Sheng, is on the rise, and as the main player of this team, there is definitely a chance to become a superstar.
The premise is to stay.
As long as Valencia can meet his 60,000-a-week salary requirements, he doesn't mind letting Ibrahimovic stay for another two seasons and then wait for Ibrahimovic to fully mature before moving away.
※※※
In this game, Chang Win did what he said, and he really made the whole team support Ibrahimovic and Mackay to compete for the Golden Boot.
In the 40th minute, Vicente, who had returned from injury, scored a breakthrough goal and was brought to the ground by a Sevilla player. The referee immediately blew the penalty.
There's nothing controversial about that. It was a very obvious foul.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was awarded the penalty. His penalty was so quick that the Sevilla goalkeeper couldn't save it, and Ibrahimovic scored his 28th goal!
Now he has equalled Mackay, who scored 28 goals!
Seeing Ibrahimovic calmly kick the penalty into the goal, Raiola in the VIP box stood up and applauded Ibrahimovic's brilliant performance.
※※※
After the two sides changed sides in the second half, Ibrahimovic scored another goal with the help of frequent feeding of his own players, and led the scorer list alone with 29 goals!
Every time Ibrahimovic scores, Raiola is in a better mood.
A season ago. I offered to renew my contract, but you didn't agree to my request. You put Ibrahimovic on the bench and didn't give him a minute of playing time. So now...... Do you still dare to do that, Chinese?
Raiola felt that in this long and winning battle, she finally had the last laugh!
From now on, Ibrahimovic will be an indispensable figure in Valencia!
Otherwise, I'm all like this, why don't you put Ibrahimovic on the bench? If you have the ability, don't you let the whole team pass the ball to him? If you have the ability, don't help him compete for the La Liga Golden Boot!
※※※
Mackay, for his part, is clearly keeping an eye on Valencia's game as well.
After hearing that Ibrahimovic had scored twice, he started to go berserk over there.
In the 75th minute, Mackay scored to increase his total league goals for the season to 29.
But even so. He is only on an equal footing with Ibrahimovic. No one wants to share the honor with others.
Mackay didn't want to, and neither did Ibrahimovic!
Compared to Marchie, Ibrahimovic is much happier. Because he can get the support of the whole team!
Under the demand of constant victory, Valencia really gathered the strength of the whole team to support Ibrahimovic alone.
With their tireless assists, they finally ...... Ibrahimovic grabs a penalty in the box!
At this time, the time was already the eighty-sixth minute of the game!
There was no movement on Mackay's side, and Ibrahimovic reopened the gap.
Ibrahimovic also scored 30 league goals in a single season for the first time in his career.
When he first met Raiola, Raiola complained that he was not qualified to be represented by him. What did Raiola say?
He said: "Compared to those super strikers who score twenty or thirty goals in a season, are you a bird? ”
Now, he has scored 30 goals, and he is also a super striker!
※※※
The game went to the last minute. Valencia has another great chance. After breaking through, Mista faced the Sevilla goalkeeper one-on-one, which was supposed to be his own shot, only to have Mista's cross in the middle.
Ibrahimovic slapped the horse and killed!
"This is Ibrahimovic! goooooooooooooooooooooool! Four balls! Ibrahimovic's four goals! Hi senior year!! It's a one-man performance! At the moment his 31st goal, Ibrahimovic is already two goals ahead of Mackay! The win is decided! After becoming the league champion, he is about to win the Golden Boot again! ”
