Chapter 63: This is Professional Football!
When Reyes finally mustered up the courage to reveal his heart to Chang Sheng, expressing his fear and confusion about the future game, he originally thought that Chang Sheng would scold him, "Are you a professional footballer, bastard!" ”
But no.
Chang Sheng just put his hand on his shoulder and said very gently, "I understand you, José." ”
Jose. Antonio. Reyes's brain crashed.
He didn't expect such a response from himself.
When did that demonic head coach be able to be so gentle as an angel?
For a moment, he felt that he was dreaming, and he had a feeling of "not real".
"I understand you, José. You've just moved from Sevilla and you have feelings for old friends from the past, it's a very normal thing. I've also just moved from Getafe and I've always had a good relationship with my friends at Getafe, we talk on the phone, and I'm going to have dinner with them after a game when the team meets them – it's a friendship. We can't be teammates and colleagues for life, but we can be friends for life. ”
Reyes nodded vigorously.
Yes, that's what he thinks, but it's just that he doesn't analyze it so deeply and can't say it so thoroughly and clearly. But that's exactly what he thought. He had a lot of good friends in Sevilla's youth and junior teams, and later in the first team, and he always felt that it was awkward to leave Sevilla and then have to fight them on behalf of Valencia.
"But when Valencia meets Getafe. I'm not going to show mercy, and I'm going to let them win Getafe how my team usually wins games. But I'm an adult who is almost thirty years old, and my mind has matured. You're different, Jose. Although you are eighteen years old. So I don't expect you to play well at the weekend, even if you played like a piece of shit, I don't blame you. I just hope this game will give you some courage. Let you learn to face the past. Because people can't always live in the memories of the past, no matter how beautiful the memories are. I hope you understand that, José. Your talent is destined for you to achieve great, very high achievements. Do you want to stand still and look back as you go? Not to mention that you can't go far or fast, you have to be careful of falling. ”
In Reyes' opinion. Usually Chang Sheng has always kept his face tight, of course, sometimes he will be pleasant, but there are very few times like this, and he will never say this to himself.
But now, Chang Sheng really said this to himself.
His voice was like a spring breeze, blowing through it, making him feel refreshed.
"Don't think too much, play and show your old friends the best of you. It's as simple as that. ”
Chang Sheng finally pinched Reyes's shoulder: "Do you know why I brought you from Seville?" ”
Reyes shook his head ignorantly, he really didn't know. He still didn't know how Chang Sheng, who was fierce and wanted to cut off his legs, suddenly became interested in him.
"Because I'm sure you'll have a great future. Someone as good as you can't be my opponent, only my player. I don't want to have people shovel your legs anymore, haha! ”

Reyes ended up in the list for Valencia vs Sevilla.
The media hyped Reyes for the first time facing his old club. It made him a little nervous.
It was evident from the game.
In fact, the Sevilla fans did not boo Reyes, but his movements were a little out of shape.
Chang Sheng watched from the sidelines...... He didn't shake his head, he could only shake it in his heart, because if he really shook his head, maybe it would bring new pressure to Reyes.
In fact, on the court, no one can help Reyes. Not on your own.
The only one who can help him is himself.
Chang Sheng feels that he has done everything he should do, and now he should be a qualified audience. Cheer for Reyes when he is doing well.
※※※
The first half of the game was nothing short of torment for Reyes.
Most Sevilla fans still have no ill will feel bad about him.
But Reyes seems to have set his mind on the few who had a bad grudge against him. Whenever he gets the ball and hears a boo, he thinks it's against him.
Then there was a big mess in my heart, and I was mixed with garlic under my feet.
Commentator Morn also thinks Reyes' performance is too bad.
"Ibrahimovic didn't play well in the first half against Barcelona and delayed the team's attacking fluidity. By that standard, Reyes is the same, so I think he should have been replaced at half-time. ”
Ibrahimovic, who sat on the bench with an unhappy face, naturally couldn't hear the commentator's words, but his thoughts were the same as those of the commentator Moen. That's Reyes' terrible performance, and he's not as good as me! Since I'm going to be replaced, you should replace Reyes too!
But to Ibrahimovic's disappointment, Chang Sheng did not replace Reyes at half-time, and he also encouraged Reyes to do well in the second half.
Ibrahimovic is dead - don't have such a double standard! Don't you want to be so different!
Chang Sheng couldn't hear him, and finally waved his fist at Reyes: "Think about it, Jose." You make a lot of money, you live in a villa and drive a limited edition luxury sports car. Shouldn't you go home and see your friends and tell them you're doing well right now? And tell those who hate you that you are better than they think you are! If you don't behave well and let others see your bad side, then whether it's to your friends or your enemies, you will only let them see your downfall. Then your friends will be heartbroken, and your enemies will clap their hands. Are you willing to do that? Would you like to? So in the second half you give me a good kick! Show the best of you! ”
Vicente, who was replaced by Reyes, also stood up and said to Reyes: "The coach is right, Jose! Your talent is good. Even makes me feel jealous. Why don't you show it to them? Tell them that you can play in a team like Valencia! ”
Reyes was timid and cowardly, and was bullied in Sevilla, and in Valencia because he didn't cause trouble, he was liked by many people.
So in terms of popularity, the low-key Reyes is definitely better than the high-profile Ibrahimovic.
Even the competitors came out to cheer Reyes on.
※※※
The second half began.
Commentator Morn was surprised that Chang Sheng didn't replace Reyes......
"Isn't that scientific...... Why didn't Chang replace Reyes? Reyes had a terrible first half. Valencia's attack on the left flank was almost paralyzed in the first half, which had a lot to do with his sleepwalking performance...... Valencia were unable to break the deadlock in the first half. Maybe it has something to do with him......"
The TV broadcasters subtly complained in a "you know" camera language - they gave a close-up of Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench with a gloomy face!
But no matter how incredible others are, no matter how directly Ibrahimovic expresses his displeasure.
Reyes also remained on the pitch.
Chang Sheng didn't mean to replace him at all.
※※※
Reyes felt his breathing a little heavy, no. It's not some, it's very, very heavy.
But fortunately, it was only heavy breathing. Instead of heavy legs.
Teammate Pep Guardiola sent the football over.
He didn't want his teammates to pass the football to him before.
Because he is afraid, he is afraid. He didn't know what he was afraid of, but when the ball rolled towards him and flew towards him, his heart beat uncontrollably.
He felt flustered.
It's something I've never felt before.
He didn't understand why he was like this......
He's trying hard to keep himself from thinking about the boos, or his friends......
But why......
He didn't keep thinking about it because the football had fallen to his feet.
He's not on the wing, because he's already run to the ribs.
Sevilla defender Xavi. Navarro rushed forward.
In the first half, when Reyes tried to go down the flanks or in the middle, he was met with stubborn resistance from Navarro. This man's defense is very fierce, one might even say brutal......
Vicious tackles tripped Reyes to the ground.
In fact, Reyes did not play well in the first half, partly because he encountered such a difficult character.
This time was no exception, and he hadn't even stopped his football yet. was knocked to the ground by Navarro.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Navarro was fouled and Valencia was awarded a free-kick from 35 yards out in front of goal.
Harvey. Navarro doesn't care about the referee's decision. When he got up, he didn't forget to glare at Reyes fiercely, and let out cruel words to intimidate Reyes: "Go home and nurse, little hairy boy!" ”
It's certainly not a personal vendetta between him and Reyes, in fact he only moved from Valencia B this summer. I had no contact with Reyes before.
Obviously this is a tactic.
Take advantage of Reyes' weaknesses in character. Attack him, intimidate him, and thus make him lose his courage.
Just like what Getafe did against Sevilla in the first game, Rondo was required to win regularly.
After that game, it seemed like a lot of people thought that Reyes could be stopped by intimidation.
Reyes has also been invisibly labelled as a "coward", and he has always been average against teams that are tough defensively, and he can only play his talent against teams that will give him enough space.
This is one of the reasons why Sevilla were so quick to sell Reyes.
Because at that time, there were many voices saying that Reyes would definitely not perform well in a league like the First Division, where competition was more fierce and the intensity of the competition was greater.
This game seems to prove their verdict.
Reyes has made four appearances off the bench so far, with no goal or assist.
The performance can really only be described as mediocre, very mediocre.
※※※
Harvey. Navarro had already gotten up and left, and he didn't even look at the referee who ran up.
Reyes was still lying on the ground, as if he had been stunned by Navarro's blow and had not yet reacted.
It was at this moment that he heard Chang Sheng's roar on the sidelines: "Reyes! Get up! Get up, Reyes! How long are you going to lie on the ground for me!? It's just a collision! You stand up and show Lao Tzu clearly, this is professional football! This is the world you will finally enter after ten years of hard work! Your opponent can kick your leg or knock you to the ground! This is professional football! ”
His body shuddered, or rather...... A spirit.
※※※
Chang Sheng saw Reyes being knocked to the ground, looking confused, and his stomach was furious.
When he was in Getafe, he had Rondo foul Reyes, on the one hand, in pursuit of victory. But on the other hand, I also hope that Reyes can see the cruelty of professional football earlier, and don't wait for him to go to the Premier League, only to find that the defenders there can kick his legs, and then run back to Spain crying in fear.
But it seems that Reyes's personality has not changed much because of that incident.
Reyes, Reyes, don't you be so muddy and can't hold up the wall, okay?
In the second half, the field fire was exchanged, and Reyes was right close to his dugout, so he suddenly rushed to the sideline and yelled inside.
"How long are you going to hide? This is professional football! Where else can you hide? Use your brain! Use your speed, technique, and agility to shake them off! Your talent is for you to use to defeat your opponents, not to show off! If they're going to break your legs, you're going to break their knees! Instead of blindly retreating and running away! I don't want to get hurt, I don't want to fight, I tell you, the best thing to do is ...... You are now declaring your retirement from service! ”
※※※
In that place, everyone turned their heads to look at Chang Sheng, including the coach next to him, and at the same time, including the players on both sides of the field, whether it was Valencia players or Sevilla players, they all turned their heads to look at Chang Sheng, who was spraying spittle stars, like dragons spraying flames.
They don't understand what kind of trick this is smoking......
But Chang Sheng didn't care about the eyes of these people who looked like they were crazy.
He knew that this was a great opportunity for Reyes, and if it didn't wake Reyes, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult in the future. Do you really want to watch him go from a genius boy to an ordinary player step by step? He used to be able to blind Zidane's talent, but it was all gone with the wind, did he have to wait for such an ending to repeat itself?
Chang Sheng didn't know how many years he would be able to coach in Valencia, but he hoped that under his tutelage, Reyes would be able to make a difference, just like Luiz was back then. Garcia was the same under his own hands.
Some people's fate, even if they can only change by one centimeter, may end up completely different?

ps, it can't be tragically more tragic...... From getting up in the morning to disconnecting the network until now, I called at 10 o'clock in the morning to report for repair, and it was not until now that someone came to fix it.
Tietong is really as bad as ever. But unfortunately there is no way, my wife's mother's house is monopolized by Tietong, and telecommunications can't enter at all......
So I had to wait anxiously while coding words, during which I kept calling and texting people to help me ask for leave and ask about the monthly pass.
Thank you for helping me take a leave of absence in the book review area, and thank you for helping me write this single chapter.
Oh, at this time, I feel that good popularity is really good!
In the end, I won't say anything, hurry up and update, I know you're in a hurry......
Tomorrow, in order to avoid such a problem, I will definitely set up automatic updates before going to bed!
Finally, ask for a monthly pass!!! ……)
