Football Super Manager

Chapter 40
Chapter 39

When the leaders spoke one by one to gain attention, Charlotte's heart had already left, and she flew firmly to the unbuilt stadium.

On May 1998, 5, Charlotte appeared in the VIP box of the Amsterdam Stadium in Amsterdam, the Netherlands as a semi-owner, and will personally participate in and witness a UEFA Champions League final that the European media called "traditional giants" against "upstarts and dark horses" .

One is Real Madrid, the top super club in European football, with 27 top league titles in Spain, 17 domestic cup titles in Spain, 6 European Cup titles and 2 UEFA Cup titles in the European arena. The first club to permanently retain the St. Bride's Cup.There are countless other championship trophies.

The other is Valencia, the super dark horse that has shocked Europe in recent years. After the reorganization in 1992, the team ushered in Charlotte, the current chairman and the greatest chairman in Valencia history. (Actually Charlotte's grandpa was Kale's chairman in the beginning, but the media automatically ignored this because everyone knew that one was just putting on a facade!)
Under his great investment and wise leadership, Valencia, which has a long history but has never received any honor, has galloped in Europe for the past six years.

In the 1992-1993 season, he won the first Spanish top league championship in the history of Valencia
In 1993-1994, he participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. While defending the league title, he defeated the Serie A giants AC Milan to win the championship and won the highest honor in Spanish football.

In the 1994-1995 season, he won the Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup and Spanish King's Cup, League No.3 and Champions League semi-finals.

In the 1995-1996 season, he won the European Cup Winners Cup, Spanish Super Cup and League No.3.

In the 1996-1997 season, he won the European Super Cup, UEFA Cup and league runner-up.

It can be seen from the previous seasons that Valencia attaches great importance to the performance in the European arena.It can be said that Valencia's performance in the European arena has created Valencia's mighty reputation, surpassing Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​becoming the first Spanish team to win three European Cup championships, and also the first Spanish Grand Slam team .

In the 1997-1998 season, Valencia successively won the league championship and the Spanish King's Cup.If they win the European Champions Cup again, they will become the first treble winners in Spanish football.This is also the fourth club in Europe to win the treble after PSV Eindhoven in 1988.

Before the game, many neutral large-scale media such as the French "L'Equipe" and the German "Bild" all realized that if Valencia can perform miracles this season, no matter whether Valencia is a giant or not, no matter whether others admit that they are giants , They definitely have the strength to compete with the giants.

In the past, Valencia was unable to retain top stars due to prestige and financial problems, resulting in the loss of a large number of stars.

Alexis Sanchez moved to Real Madrid in 1995 for a high price of 1800 million US dollars, and now he is the core of the midfield of Europe's top giants.

In 1995, Larson was brought to San Siro by AC Milan for US$630 million, and George Weah became the sharp knife of the Serie A giant;

Rivaldo was activated by Barcelona in 1996 and transferred to Barcelona for a record $3200 million.This price shocked the entire football world, but considering the relationship between the two clubs, Barcelona can only take Rivaldo away from Valencia in this way.It is worth mentioning that this is the first transfer case in European football that directly activates a breach of contract since the implementation of the Tony Act
In 1996, Joelkayev was acquired by Dortmund for US$750 million and became the absolute main force of the Bundesliga giants.

Thuram was taken away by Parma for $1996 million in 1680, which created the first price for a defender.

In 1997, William Adams Miller was brought to San Siro for a record $3400 million by the hungry Inter president Moratti.

In 1997, Stam was poached by the Premier League giants Manchester United for 2000 million US dollars, breaking the highest guard value created by Thuram.

It can be said that among the main teams that won the Champions League in 1994, they were torn apart by the entire European giants, but every giant who poached a corner was ruthlessly gouged out a piece of flesh.

However, even in such a dire situation, Valencia still won three European Cups in five years.Although Valencia attaches great importance to European events, winning three consecutive European Cups also proves Valencia's strength.

So far, the two media agreed that Valencia's focus on the results achieved in the European arena is to establish its own new image in European football, improve the club's reputation, and give players who rush to the giants like moths to a flame a chance. A "we are rich too" impression.

With the unprecedented business development plan of the Chinese Super League club and the official operation of the new stadium at the end of this year, not only will the club's financial situation be greatly improved, but it will also allow them to have financial resources no less than that of the giants.At the same time, it will greatly increase the club's commercial sponsorship costs, so that the club's financial problems will not cause the loss of stars.

As for fame, people have different opinions, but now Valencia has appeared in the media of various countries as frequently as the big giants, and because of their "notorious" "rogue coach", Valencia's appearance rate in Europe Has surpassed most giants.

More importantly, their chairman and general manager Charlotte is recognized as a top club manager, he is no less than Italy's first football manager Moggi. After 1995, Valencia suffered the loss of main players every year, but in this case, Valencia can ensure its super competitiveness through the strategizing of general manager Charlotte.

Alexis Sanchez and Larsson parted ways with the club amicably in 1995, but a Raúl made his way through Valencia's youth academy.

In 1996, when Djokov's move to Dortmund was confirmed, Barcelona introduced the 1600-year-old talented Brazilian striker Ronaldo from Eindhoven for US$20 million.A week after the main right back Thuram moved to the Serie A powerhouse Parma, he introduced the Brazilian star Cafu from Palmeiras, Brazil for US$500 million, filling the vacancy left by Thuram.

What shocked the world even more was that when Rivaldo and Barcelona announced that they would activate the default clause and leave the team, he angrily stated that he would definitely remember, but he was busy everywhere.Half a month later, Boban, the Croatian midfield playmaker, transferred from AC Milan for a transfer fee of 1300 million US dollars.The quickness and decisiveness of the shots make the whole football look impressive.

In 1997, William Adams Miller, the mainstay of the striker, and Stam, the backbone of the defense, both left the team.He first bought the new German international Thomas Link from Schalke 670 for US$04 million in the Bundesliga, and then introduced young Spanish striker Morientes from Zaragoza for US$510 million.

No one thought that these two people could help Valencia, and even many Valencia fans thought they were just spare tires.While with the new stadium and sports and leisure park, no one thinks Charlotte is playing for itself, there is still a knot in the hearts of fans.

But the league title and the Copa del Rey won them all, and getting to the Champions League final again made many people lose their eyes.

To say the least, Thomas Link is now the main force of the German national team and the defensive core of Schalke 04.Although everyone looked at him with suspicion at the beginning, they didn't think it could replace Stam, Valencia's general guard in recent years, but at least it gave everyone some confidence in him.

However, another young player, Morientes, baffled everyone and no one thought he could replace William Adams Miller.You know, since joining Valencia in 1993, William Adams Miller has grown rapidly under the leadership of coach Elliott.He scored close to 30 goals in his first season and scored the only goal in the Champions League final as Valencia won the St. Bled Cup.In the following seasons, he scored more than 20 goals in La Liga each season and scored at least 5 goals in Europe, becoming the top scorer in Europe.

What about Morientes? In 1993, he made his debut at the Albacete club, scored 22 goals in 5 appearances in two years, and then moved to Zaragoza freely.During his two years at Zaragoza, he made a name for himself by scoring 66 goals in 28 appearances.Although Morientes is a very good young player, he is not in the same position as the world's top striker William Adams Miller.

However, with the departure of William Adams Miller and Real Madrid's eyes on Morientes, it is a good result that Charlotte can bring him to Valencia, although the price is not low.However, Charlotte is very clear that Morientes joined Real Madrid freely at this time in history, and later became a pain for Real Madrid.But now, because of the early appearance of the "Tony Act", he was allowed to renew his contract with the club, and there were many clauses left in the contract, and Charlotte was allowed to bring him to Valencia at a high price.

But it was this Morientes, an ordinary young player who was not valued by everyone, who brought a qualitative change to Valencia's striker.After a period of adaptation, he has fully integrated into Valencia's offensive line, and his characteristics are complementary to the other players on the front line.

Although his body is not as abnormal as Vieri, and his scoring ability is not as strong as Vieri, he is also quasi-first-class in football.More importantly, his speed, explosive power and balanced shooting ability can effectively cooperate with the other two main forwards, the second child and Ronaldo.He can not only act as the commanding height in the penalty area, but also pull out of the penalty area for impact and cooperation.At the same time, the origin of the Spanish player makes his skills not as rough as William Adams Miller, and he can play a small game with the two.Put it this way, Morientes is a bit like a smaller version of Drogba with better technique.

Unlike William Adams Miller who grabs a position and stands on the pile, he is more suitable for the speed and dexterity of Ronaldo and Raul.

After adapting, Valencia started consecutive games and beat Real Madrid and Barcelona 4 times in the league and Copa del Rey.Dynamo Kiev was forced to break through in the Champions League group stage, and Serie A powerhouse Juventus and Ligue 70 powerhouse Monaco were severely beaten in the knockout rounds.It is now at the top of the European table with Real Madrid. According to the odds given by the betting company before the game, Valencia has a winning rate of more than [-]%.

This is not because Valencia is too strong this season, but more importantly, it is the momentum accumulated by defeating Real Madrid 4 times at home and away in domestic competitions.In addition, Charlotte, who has been "notorious" in European football, also dismissed the "Triple Crown" with a total bonus of 1000 million US dollars, claiming that it was a gift from the completion of the new stadium.

Stay in the box and see the stadium you used to envy.Charlotte suddenly fell into deep thought.Looking back on what happened in Valencia in the past few years, the ambitious Charlotte has been hit hard, and at the same time, she is also mentally exhausted.

Alexis Sanchez in 1995; "Boss, after I came to Europe, I would like to thank two people, one is my father-in-law Solari, and the other is my teacher Valdano. That year, I moved to Va Rencia, not only because of the club's request, but also because of the teacher's words. He said, 'Tenerife's development is limited, and Valencia will definitely develop rapidly under the leadership of rich people who love the club. You go You can grow faster there, and then you will return to my staff. Now that Mr. Valdano has gone to Real Madrid, he also called me to play for him. I just didn’t expect that these two years will be useful to Valencia. Feelings. I will not have any opinion on this matter, everything is decided by the club.”

After hearing what Alexis Sanchez said at the time, Charlotte had the heart to cut down Valdano.In this case, Valencia can be regarded as a place for him and Real Madrid to train young players.However, Charlotte was helpless, and belonged to a rich family.It is for this reason that countless players from Valencia and Real Madrid want to go back no matter what.Plus, Tenerife had a slew of Real Madrid players brainwashing Alexis Sanchez, leaving Charlotte speechless.As for what Alexis Sanchez said, that's for the club to decide.Maybe it was someone else's idea to tell him not to take it out on him.Maybe he didn't know how to choose, but his statement amounted to a clear statement.

Charlotte knew Valdano had privately contacted Alexis Sanchez and his agent last season.Even though Charlotte has said she doesn't want to coach Elliott, there's still hope Charlotte can leave him behind.However, the words of Alexis Sanchez left Charlotte with no choice.What makes Charlotte even more uncomfortable is that she signed a new contract in 1994, but because of the salary and the special system of Spanish football, the price of Alexis Sanchez's default was only 2500 million US dollars;
In the end, after bargaining, Charlotte slaughtered a floating price of $1200 million plus $600 million in installments of $300 million.
