The next day, the first day of training after the team lost the match against Murcia, Chang Sheng was on his way to the training base when he was called by the club's president, Flores, to Alfonso. Perez Stadium.

Chang Sheng is no longer as concerned about why Mr. President called him when he was first called by Flores.

He has already made a decision in his heart, and no matter what changes occur in the outside world, he will follow the will to make this decision. Even if he looks like a stupid Don Quixote charging at a windmill, that's okay.

In the chairman's office, Chang Sheng saw that Flores was even older.

He was almost curled up in the chair, because it was backlit, and if you didn't squint and look closely, you might think that there was no one in the wide boss's chair.

"Chang, I'm sorry...... I still haven't been able to save the fate of the club and the team...... No one is interested in the team, no, or rather, they are interested, but do not want to pay too much money, they are waiting greedily on the sidelines, waiting for the day when the club will be taken back by the bank...... Hell, but I can't do anything......"

Flores saw Chang Sheng coming in, and he didn't get up, but curled up in his chair and announced his surrender.

Chang Sheng looked against the light, as if he saw the old man trembling and raising his arm, holding a white flag in his hand.

"Getafe is finished, maybe I'm a selfish ghost, but I hope you can stay in Getafe. If Getafe is doomed, I guess the only person who can bring her back to life is you. Often. The old man really raised his arm this time, but he didn't hold the white flag in his hand, but pointed to Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng's face was expressionless, and he didn't say anything.

"I wanted Moscow to sign a contract extension with you a month ago, and this time I intend to give you a contract of at least three years. But hell the debt crisis...... Hell economic crisis! The old man became excited. But now I hope that after the arrival of the new owner, you will be able to stay in Getafe, you have proven your ability and worth with your actions. I think any new boss, as long as his IQ is still normal, should do everything possible to keep you......"

Chang Sheng looked at Mr. Chairman, who was chattering and looking a little verbose.

It's really far from the image he had when he first came to the interview. It has nothing to do with the image of the honorable elder who invited him to his home for dinner.

He was like a man on the verge of drowning, still clutching at the last straw.

But he didn't want to save his own life, he wanted to save Getafe's life.

He was the president of this team for nine years. From membership all the way to the joint-stock system, who can do it for so long if they don't have enough affection for the team? The money from the family business was invested and the bank was in debt. If it weren't for the deep enough love, he only needed to buy a season ticket every year, and watching the game in the box with bright windows could also show his support for the team.

But he was the president of the club for nine years, and finally forced himself into this shape.

Until now, the club was going to be finished, but he was still thinking about what would happen after the rebirth of the team. The simple thinking of a club president, as long as a good manager remains. Then even if Getafe are beaten to the second division and Group B, they will be able to make a comeback.

looked at the way he chattered about Rory's low voice, as if he was afraid that he would reject him.

Chang Sheng didn't want to add even a little pain to the poor old man, so he interrupted the other party and said, "Okay. I promise you, Mr. Flores. As long as the new owner doesn't kick me out, I'll continue to coach the team, and in fact, I like Getafe a lot, even though she's so weak. ”

Attitude has nothing to do with ability. Love has nothing to do with strength. Some people worship the strong, while others love the weak. For Chang Sheng, his love for Getafe is simple, as it is the first team he has truly coached since he was reborn into this world. It was this team that took him in when he was on the verge of despair, it was this team that taught him how to be a real coach, it was this team that he had a stage to show his talents, it was this team that gave him his first fan, the first time he heard the songs sung for him in a game, it was this team that made him think that he should have been a football coach in his last life!

This is where his dream began, the first encounter in his life.

It's like first love.

First love is always beautiful, but first love is not necessarily the most beautiful. Getafe is weak and not pretty, but it is a winning first love.

For that reason alone, that's enough.

Flores was satisfied and happy with Chang Sheng's answer, and he even had a smile on his face. This was the only time he had smiled in the last month or so.

The smile quickly faded as he thought about his fate and that of the club again.

So he shrank back again.

Getafe is finished, then he is finished.

Seeing Flores' such a decadent appearance, Chang Sheng did not turn away, but asked: "Mr. President, I remember that I still owe a sum of money that I haven't repaid......"

Flores shrunk back in her chair and waved her hand weakly: "When I borrowed you, I said you don't have to pay it back." And I still owe you a month's salary......"

Chang Sheng spread his hands: "Yes, I don't have the money to pay it back, Mr. Chairman." But you gave me a job when I needed it most, and you generously gave me money when I needed it most. I must repay this love. ”

Flores laughed again, "Thank you, Chang. That's enough for you, really. ”

"No, not enough." Chang Sheng shook his head and said.

"I will definitely lead your favorite Getafe to the First Division, Mr. President, I will do what I say! This is my reward for your kindness. Goodbye, Mr. Chase, now I'm going to train the team. There are still 14 rounds of league games. ”

After speaking, Chang Sheng turned around and left the chairman's office.

Flores, of course, was aware of the "Covenant of Champions" that the media was hyping up. But in his opinion, it is absolutely impossible to win......

He stared at the doorway where Chang Sheng had left and sighed.

The president of the club, who usually trusts Chang Sheng, has also lost confidence this time.

※※※

Because Chang Sheng was called away temporarily, the team's training began mainly by assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez and Manuel. Garcia hosted.

But you can see it. Every player's mind is not on training. When Chang Sheng is there, he can still use his prestige to suppress these people, once he is not there. The players were revealed.

It wasn't because of the crisis at the club that they were so distracted, they had talked about it too much.

The reason why they don't focus on training now is because of the constant wins and the clashes with the journalists.

That "Covenant of Champions".

The manager even wants to win the league championship. This surprised a lot of the players.

In the dressing room before coming to training, the players discussed it in the dressing room.

Some people don't believe, some people believe, there are differences.

Jose. Passarella and Carlos. Campo was at odds on the matter.

Passarella is a firm believer that winning can be done. Campo was cautiously skeptical.

There are disagreements between both of them, let alone within the team.

For now, though, the skeptics have the upper hand.

Because those who believe in victory really can't come up with any convincing reasons. Just like Jose. Passarella convinces Carlos. Campo, then, would just say, "I just believe in the boss anyway." ”

But such an idealistic reason is not convincing.

He believes so much that Chang Sheng is understandable, after all, there is a story between him and Chang Sheng. But other people may not be able to believe that...... Everyone is a thinking person, and there must always be dry goods. It should be justified and conform to basic logic. Jose. Passarella is so much like a god that he can convince others to be weird.

They couldn't figure out why their manager would do this, or if he thought the team was capable of finishing promotion in the remaining 14 league games. And a league championship by the way?

But the players themselves don't think they can do it.

Although the prospect of upgrading seems really fantastic.

Even though they finished top of the league in the middle of the season, they were all excited about the league title.

But in the face of the fact that they have not been paid for two months and will continue to be paid in the future, there is absolutely no sign of the club's economic crisis being resolved. That's nothing.

But doubting does not mean that they will completely give up on themselves.

They are also very painful in their hearts now, and they are constantly struggling.

Their head coach has already put his words out, and it stands to reason that they should support him, but when it comes to the future, they really can't lift their energy.

But if you don't help the manager, do you have to see him embarrassed in front of the media?

Although the time has not yet come, the matter of unpaid wages will definitely not be resolved in the next month. At that time, it is normal to not be able to pay your salary for three months.

So according to the rules, is there really going to be a strike?

The players are still thinking about it.

But there are differences.

Jose. Passarella and Carlos. Campo and Luis. Garcia, Barzaretti, these four are staunchly opposed to the strike, and their reason is that it will disgrace their manager. However, the latter two are not convincing, because Louis. Garcia and Barzaretti are on loan, and neither of them is paid by the Getafe club, so they don't have any financial pressure, so they naturally have no weight in this matter.

In addition, Senna, Mista, Rondo and others also have a wait-and-see attitude towards the boycott and do not support it, but they are not explicitly opposed.

If there is no consensus of opinion, it is obvious that the boycott will not take place.

There is no agreement within the team on either of these matters, which shows the chaos within the team right now.

Just as they continued to kill time on the training ground in a daze, they suddenly heard a continuous shrill whistle.

Then they heard Rudy. Gonzalez's angry voice: "Manuel, are you crazy?!" ”

Many people turned their attention to the two coaches who were standing next to each other on the training ground.

Manuel. Coach Garcia has a whistle in his mouth. He stared angrily at the players, not looking at the assistant coach next to him who was covering his ears and looking pained.

"If you don't want to train, then why are you here? In a month's time, you can support yourself even if you get a job! Now that you're here, it means that you've accepted your identity as a player, and as long as you're my player for a day, I'm going to be strict with you for one day! Right now! Right away! Give me serious training! ”

Not only the players, but even Rudy next to him. Gonzalez looked at Manuel with surprised and strange eyes. Garcia.

Coach Garcia is very focused on maintaining team discipline in normal times. The demands on the performance of the players in training are very strict. But that was usually, when everyone was able to get their wages from the club normally, not now. I have been owed two months' salary and will continue to be owed wages now.

Rudy. Gonzalez didn't know Manuel. Garcia suddenly went crazy, and he pulled Manuel hard behind him. Garcia's clothes. Tell him to calm down.

What he, the assistant coach, is most afraid of now is to provoke these players, the club has already owed these people two months' wages, it seems that they have to continue to be in arrears, the players' emotions are already very unstable, uh, if you stimulate them so much, maybe these players will strike for them now. That's a real mess, how will it end?

But Manuel, who is usually very good-tempered and only roars a few times when he makes mistakes in player training. Garcia was uncharacteristically uncharacterist, and he shook his hand to open Rudy. Gonzalez took his hand and strode over to the players. Standing in the training ground, I was surrounded by players who were confused, surprised, and had bad expressions.

"What are you looking at me for? Can you win by staring at me? "Manuel. Garcia glared back with the same fierce gaze. "In order to maintain the dignity of the team, your head coach did not hesitate to fight against that group of bitch reporters, and did not hesitate to put his reputation into it! The media have portrayed him as an unruly and uneducated man. Bastard that no one likes! Before and after every game, he had to fight the bitches, and now he has to endure their humiliation and taunts! What is he doing this for? Just for a promise he once gave you! ”

Manuel. Coach Garcia yelled in the crowd and no one present had seen Manuel. Coach Garcia had such a thrilling moment that they were all stupid and let Manuel . Coach Garcia roared loudly. Spit stars everywhere.

On the training ground in Getafe, dark clouds fell from the sky, as if they were about to crush everything here. For Madrid, which has 2,875 hours of sunshine throughout the year and the highest number of sunny days in Europe, it is rare to see such cloudy weather as today, so much so that one thinks it's going to rain.

Under the gaze of everyone, this honest man waved his arms vigorously and roared almost word for word: "He still remembers the wish he made to you at the end of the last game, and he still remembers what he said to you at the beginning of this season!" He! Want! Bring! You guys! Go! Class! League matches! ”

"And you? You usually keep saying that you want to support the manager, and that's how you support it? Yes? Are you so fucking supportive?! What the fuck are you doing when your manager needs you most? The team has lost five of its seven league games, and he's never criticized you guys, right? But if this had been done before, you bastards would have been driven to Team B by him! He didn't do it because they understand your difficulties, and he's just hard-mouthed to the reporters! But when did he really get you on Team B because you were distracted in training? Because he understands you! But what about you? Do you understand his difficulties? He spread his arms and helped you block all the attacks, what about you? You enjoy it all as a matter of course, be your shrunken turtles! Why don't you guys stuff your heads all in your crotch!? Even I'm ashamed of you! Disgrace! Shame! He was really blind to the care he usually took care of! ”

After scolding all the players, Manuel. Garcia didn't mean to let them go, and he began to name them.

"Carlos. Campo! Usually you call 'boss' one by one. But what about now? You're a sissy on the pitch or on the training pitch! Do you remember who gave your friends a new lease of life in the youth team? Do you remember who brought you from Team C to the first team? Do you remember who was sent on the pitch after only a week in the first team and made a name for himself against Osasuna?! ”

It's hard to imagine. Manuel, an honest man who usually only yells a few times and is choked by reporters when he goes to a press conference. Garcia is so ridiculous.

He will Carlos. After Campo scolded and lowered his head, he pointed the finger at the fullback Rondo: "Rondo! Who helped you stop the pestering and criticism from the media? Who got a two-game ban for you? Who told you on the sidelines that he took all the responsibility? Who is it?! ”

"Louis. Garcia! When you came to this team, how did you perform? When you're in a difficult situation and ready to break the jar, who keeps talking to you individually and giving you advice? And who it is. Designed new tactics to complement you? Now that you're the absolute core of the team, you've forgotten about that guy, haven't you? You ungrateful villain! ”

In fact, the people who were selected by him performed quite well after the team's economic crisis. But Manuel. Garcia can't care about that much, he has red eyes and bites when he sees people. In Rudy. Gonzalez seems. Manuel. Garcia is no different from a mad dog.

He shook his head and muttered, "Crazy, crazy, all crazy......"

"Charlie Steias! I won't say that you brought it from Greece, and I won't say that you became the top scorer in the second division under his tactics. I'll just ask you, bastard who never knows how to manage money, who gave you the money to stand here and watch me when you have no money to eat? Who is it?! ”

"And you! You! You! You! And you! All of you! "Manuel. Garcia pointed one by one. "If it wasn't for him last season, you'd have fucking rolled out to the second division and B league a long time ago! How can they stand here like they are now, enjoying the fame of being number one in the league! You may be relegated with Getafe, or you may leave the team for other places. But no matter where you go, you won't be able to enjoy the season! You may ever ...... Until you retire, you won't know what it's like to be number one in the league! You also don't know what it's like to knock out a first-division team like Celta Vigo and qualify for the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey! You won't even know what it's like to beat Atletico Madrid at home! ”

"Without him! You're a bunch of fucking shit cow dung! You will achieve nothing, you will have nothing! Who will know who you are? Who wants to deal with you? Which company will ask you to advertise? But now. He lifted you up, and when he was in trouble, alone, and in need of help, you kicked him away mercilessly, and your mind was full of only thinking about how to find a way back for yourself. Even thinking about a strike! Right? Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking, it's just that you're two months behind on your pay, and you're fucking thinking about going on strike in a month's time...... Yes, you have no salary, and you have a hard time, but do you always have a salary? Don't forget that he also generously helped those of you who spent a lot of money and had no savings at all! ”

"You used to be able to train hard for money, shouldn't you work hard for your manager? For the reasons I've mentioned, shouldn't you help him and support him? Let him stop fighting alone?! If you are still normal people, if you still have a little conscience, you should all know how to do it! ”

"There were no salaries for two months and the future of the club was uncertain...... So what? Just for the sake of your manager, shouldn't you train hard and give your all in the game?! ”

Manuel. Garcia stared angrily at the players, all of whom had been scolded by him.

Strangely, those players who are even performing well are being beaten by Manuel. After Garcia scolded like this, he didn't jump up to refute anything, but just buried his head deeply.

Garcia didn't mean to let them go. Ever since he talked to Chang Sheng the day before yesterday, he felt that there was a fire in his heart.

The fire grew stronger and brighter over the course of two days, especially after the media hyped up the winning "Championship Appointment" and were not optimistic about him.

Now, he finally couldn't hold that fire in his heart, and the flames turned into boiling magma, spewing out, engulfing the entire Las Margarita Sports City in an instant.

He remembered what Chang Sheng had said to himself.

You're really a Don Quixote, fool......

Then he blew the whistle in his mouth vigorously: "Training! Your head coach hasn't thrown in the towel, and I'm not going to throw it in! There are still fourteen rounds of the league, even if I really want to die, let me finish these fourteen rounds of the league! ”
