Chapter 149: Soldiers Don't Tire of Deceit

From that evening onwards, the evening newspaper, radio and television were all about Chang Sheng's presentation to Harvey at a press conference. News of Passos bowing his head.

As long as you follow La Liga or the Copa del Rey, you can't miss this news.

The reporters were so elated that they almost announced that they had won and lost.

No wonder they're so excited, because it's very, very rare, really.

They have always been at the bottom of the war against the ever-winning, and have never won.

But this time, they actually won!

For a while, many media even had a sense of unreality.

I thought I was dreaming.

“…… Today at the press conference, there was a surprising scene......"

“…… Getafe head coach Chang, who is known for his tough personality, admitted that his team could not have beaten Celta de Vigo in the Copa del Rey! ”

"It's incredible...... You must know that last season, in his first game in charge of the team, Getafe met Osasuna, the league leader at the time. As a result, before the game, he often announced at the press conference that his goal for this match was to win......"

“…… At the time, everyone thought he was crazy. But in the end, he really led the team to defeat Osasuna 3:2! ”

"Anyone who knows him knows that he is a very tough guy and he will not throw in the towel easily, no matter what the situation is. So his bow this time was very surprising......"

“…… Although it is surprising that he took the initiative to admit defeat, if we analyze it carefully, we will find that it is not surprising at all. This is to be expected. Because no matter what you said before, the opponents were all at the level of the second division, and even if the opponents were strong, they were all limited. As long as you work hard, or if you are lucky, you can still create miracles. However, this Copa del Rey match is different, they are against Celta Vigo, a side in the first division, and have done well this season, finishing eighth. The huge difference in strength between the two sides can erase all possibilities, even if Getafe is playing at home, it will not help......"

"I admit that many of the changes that have been made to Getafe this season have been successful. However, no matter how his team is reformed, it can't get out of the category of a second-division team. And his opponent is a first-division team...... The difference in strength between these is probably very clear. That's why he behaved like this at the press conference......"

"It's not a perennial victory and early admittance, it's the fact that he lowered his head. Even if he didn't want to bow his head...... A and B teams are two different concepts entirely, as you can see from the teams that have been relegated from the First Division to the Second Division this season...... Sevilla were the best, but they lost to Getafe. What does this mean? This shows that after losing a large number of their original players, their overall strength has changed from a second division to a second division......"

'Getafe don't have enough quality on the bench, which is the Achilles' heel of small teams. If you want to deal with a two-front battle at the same time, I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of both lines. The smart thing to do is to give up one end. The league cannot be abandoned, Getafe are very hopeful to compete for promotion places this season, not to mention that they are now at the top of the league, and with the league still halfway to go, it is still possible to fall from this position due to carelessness...... In order to ensure relegation, the team will definitely invest more troops in the league. In this way, the only one who can give up is the Copa del Rey...... In fact, from the last round of the Copa del Rey match, we can see the clues...... Chang Sheng, who basically never rotated, actually replaced half of the main players in that game for the first time......"

"So I don't think there's any suspense about the Copa del Rey game on the Fourth of January. Even if Getafe were playing at home, so what? Celta de Vigo will easily defeat Getafe! ”

Chang Sheng watched the analysis of what he did by these guests on TV, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Next to Kate. Gracie wondered: "People don't think so much about you, you can still laugh?" ”

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Of course, I especially hope that they look down on me even more now!" ”

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"You're sick!" Chang Sheng explained after rolling his eyes. "The Art of War ...... Cloud"

He wanted to drag a pawn, but when he thought of Kate. Gracie is not Chinese, he may not know what Sun Tzu's Art of War is, let alone the canon in it, and he said it himself in vain, playing the piano to the cow. I had to dispel the idea of showing off, and honestly explained: "Our strength is weaker than Celta, and if we want to defeat them, we can't fight hard power, but we have to think of other ways to find another way." I took the initiative to show weakness because I wanted the other side to think that we did not pose a threat to them, and let them underestimate the enemy, only then would we have a chance. ”

Kate. Gracie wasn't stupid either, and after a little explanation, Chang Sheng understood.

"No wonder you want these media outlets to look down on you, and their propaganda will help you mislead your opponents and give them the impression that 'Getafe is nothing to worry about'. Then you'll have a chance. ”

Chang Sheng nodded, and in Chinese, "The children can be taught." ”

"What did you say?"

"I said you kid has a future."

"Don't think I'm an idiot, I still understand such a simple truth. But are you sure your approach will work? "Kate. Gracie asked.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Kate. Gracie didn't catch his breath and choked and coughed.

Finally calming himself down, he glared at Chang Sheng: "You don't know? ”

"yes, I don't know." Chang Sheng spread his hands and shrugged.

"How can you not know?"

"Why should I know? I don't know how to be supernatural, I can directly see through other people's hearts. What others think, how do I know. But if I do it, I can succeed. If I don't, there's no chance of doing it. As long as the other party has the slightest contempt for us in their hearts, that is our chance! ”

"You're gambling......"

"Small fish want to eat big fish, which is gambling in the first place. If you don't pay the price, don't take the risk, you want to defeat the strong with the weak, and you don't dare to write this in fantasy novels. Chang Sheng looked very calm.

"Then I can only wish you the best of luck......" Kate. Gracie didn't know what to say.

"Thank you!"

※※※

There was also a person who sat in front of the TV like Chang Sheng and watched this episode of the TV program.

Of course, there are a lot of people watching TV, and there are a lot of people watching this episode.

But this man is different, because he is the head coach of Celta Vigo, Victor. Fernandez.

He sat in a room with the lights off, and the only light was the light of the TV screen, which shone on his face, flickering on and off.

And he looked at the TV screen without saying a word, as if he was lost in thought.

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't know if his performance had deceived his opponent, but he did deceive his own people first.

The next day, when he arrived at the team to start the day's training, he found that the members of the coaching staff were all looking at him with strange eyes - except for Rudy. Beyond Gonzalez.

Or Manuel. Garcia stood up and asked him, "Chang, is what you said at the press conference yesterday true?" ”

He looked at him worriedly, as if he was afraid that Chang Sheng would say the answer "yes".

Because if that's the case, it means that Chang Sheng's heart is shaken, so what's the point of this game?

Haven't all our efforts been in vain?

Chang Sheng glanced at him, then at the other coaches, and finally his eyes fell on Rudy. Gonzalez.

Including Manuel. Almost all coaches, including Garcia, looked at him with concern in their eyes.

Rudy. Gonzalez seemed to have a smile in his eyes.

This made Chang Sheng feel that he finally had someone who could keep up with his thinking......

He smiled at the worried Manuel. Garcia said: "Of course it's fake. ”

It is clear to see Manuel. Coach Garcia breathed a sigh of relief.

"I knew that...... Ha! He said.

Rudy. Gonzalez laughed along: "Hah! Look, I've already said it! He must have lied to our opponents! Only if Celta thinks we've really thrown in the towel and doesn't take us to heart will we have a chance to beat them. ”

Chang Sheng nodded at him: "That's right." I didn't expect to deceive myself, so it seems that our opponent should have been successfully deceived......"

Didn't expect Rudy. Gonzalez interrupted: "Not necessarily. ”

Chang Sheng set his sights on him.

"Celta's head coach Victor. Fernandez is a cautious man. He was very cautious. Celta's eighth finish this season is inseparable from his caution, and he is well prepared for any game, taking basically all the situations into account and taking measures into account. So if you want to fool him, you can't rely on just a few words. ”

Rudy. Gonzalez is a man who knows a lot about Spanish football, and he talks a lot about the team's opponents, and he knows a lot about it.

"If you want to fool him, you need to be a little more ruthless, Chang." Rudy. Gonzalez said to Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng felt as if it was a challenge from Rudy.

Do you dare to be a little harder on yourself?

How far can you go in order to win?

Is it testing me?

Chang Sheng cracked his mouth and smiled, and gave Rudy this confident smile. Gonzalez replied in silence.

And Rudy. Gonzalez was also stunned for a moment after seeing Chang Sheng's answer.

It seems that Chang Sheng is confident and has been prepared for a long time......

After laughing, Chang Sheng said to all the coaches: "What I just said to you, don't leak it." Not just the journalists, but even our players, they are not allowed to tell them. ”

Manuel. Coach Garcia is not a fool either, and after hearing Chang Sheng say this, he understands what Chang Sheng is going to do.

He was taken aback: "You want to lie to the players together?" ”

"After all, we have few people, too many players, too many people, and I am afraid that someone will accidentally stab this matter to the media and leak the news. For the sake of safety, I can't tell the players the truth. Secondly, to get that close Viktor. Fernandes is sure that we have really surrendered, so we have to make our own people think that I am really going to give up this game. Chang Sheng explained.

"But aren't you afraid that this will shake the morale of the team? You know, we were disappointed when we heard you say that. Those young players are just afraid that they are more emotionally unstable now......"

"Manuel, why don't you think they're going to get more motivated to try to prove me wrong in the game?" Chang Sheng asked with a smile.

"Are you so sure, Chang?"

"At this time, I can only choose to believe them." After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands, "Okay guys, let's start preparing now!" Remember, no one is allowed to leak half a word out of this office conversation! It's a matter of victory, and I hope you keep your mouth shut! I believe in my players and I believe in you! Don't let me down! ”
