Santiago. At the Bernabeu Stadium, whether it was before or after the crossing, he was here for the first time.

Before this season, he was coaching Getafe, but at that time Getafe was still in the second division and did not meet Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, so Chang Sheng did not lead the team to play here.

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, he was already at the Chamartin training base at the beginning, and this starting point is very high. After a few years, you might have a chance to get into the Santiago Bernabeu, but not as an opponent, but as a member of the first-team coaching staff.

A punch to him shattered the bridge of the slut's nose and shattered all his possibilities in Real Madrid.

Now, after a big circle, he is back to the starting point of the original crossing, Real Madrid.

Looking at this huge behemoth, Chang Sheng will inevitably feel a little emotional-I, Hu Hansan, are finally back!

※※※

In the dressing room, Chang Sheng looked at his players, who had just returned from warming up on the pitch and were ready to play.

Now there are only twenty minutes left until the start of the game.

It's the last moment for a coach to exert influence on the team before a game starts. No coach will waste these ten minutes and let it pass.

Every coach, more or less, will say something, either to boost the morale of the players, or to reassure the players, or to pour cold water on the players to calm them down.

Chang Sheng naturally has to say something.

To be honest, before he really became a coach. He always thinks that the most handsome thing about the head coach is that in addition to commanding on the spot, he scolds a group of players in the locker room, which makes him feel like a general.

So every time he plays FM, he is very serious about the pre-game reprimand, and he will make different remarks according to the state, position, and characteristics of different players.

Even if this effect may not be as good as "letting the assistant coach do it for him", it will give him the feeling that he is a real head coach, which is very rewarding and real.

Right now. He doesn't have to be on the computer screen anymore, he has long been used to being in the locker room, facing a dozen players with different expressions. Say something passionate or calm.

And today, he plans to tell you a story.

"At Christmas dinner, something happened. I know you've heard of it. Although you are all big men, your level of gossip is comparable to that of women and reporters. ”

Chang Sheng said this, and he watched the reaction of the players.

Someone in the crowd laughed.

Yes, the story of Chang Sheng's confrontation with Soler at the Christmas dinner quickly spread throughout the Valencia club, in fact, no one who was present at the time noticed. I don't know who ended up accidentally leaking the news, or ...... It's simply that someone is deliberately propagating.

Soon, everyone knew that Chang Sheng had a fight with the club's vice president, the club's No. 2 shareholder, Soler, at the dinner.

But not many people know exactly why.

"Why am I playing against the vice president of the club? Actually, I don't want to talk about it, because this truth is too demoralizing. But I think you'll find out sooner or later, so it's better to know sooner rather than later - it's simple, our dear vice-president, Mr. Soler, who thinks we're not going to win the league this season! ”

The players in the locker room were smiling and waiting to hear the gossip on their faces.

Because they didn't expect the truth to be this!

Soler is the vice president of the club. He didn't even believe that the team could win the championship? It's really shocking!

We won game after game in front, and our vice-president, in the rear, thought we were going to lose......

What's going on?

"Why does he think we can't get it? Because our opponent is very strong, it is the very strong Real Madrid! It's so strong, such a strong team has been five times by us at home! Chang Sheng said vulgarly, and some players laughed below.

Between men. The best way to set the mood is to say something vulgar and yellow.

The vulgarity of winning has made the players feel that this manager is more approachable.

"And our dear vice-president thinks it's stupid for me to say in the sixteenth round of the league that we want to win the title, because my words will put us in a dangerous situation and provoke our opponents, like Real Madrid, so that we will have a lot of resistance in the game. His reasoning sounded flawless, yes, we provoked a strong opponent, so we're going to be out of luck...... But is that really the case? ”

"If we're afraid to anger our opponents, and we're shy away, then why are we going to fight for the league title? And I'm afraid of a team that was once beaten by our five goals, I can't do such an eggless thing in my life, but our beloved Mr. Soler did it! He's amazing! ”

"Obviously, our beloved vice-chairman, he doesn't have a championship heart. But I want you to have, every single one of you to have, because on the way to the league title, I need each and every one of you to contribute, not just to be a spectator and expect to get something for nothing. I'm going to tell you a story about the heart of a champion. ”

"Everyone knows that I was in charge of Getafe last season, it was a second division team, before last season, it was just a thrilling relegation, and at the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about us, everyone thought that we would win this season, as long as we can be relegated. But they didn't know that what I wanted from the beginning was to lead a promotion in such a team. Then we met Sevilla in the league. As today, we were away from home. I was desperate to win that match, and I even paid the price of a two-game suspension for it. Want to hear what's going on? ”

Chang Sheng said.

The players are very interested and not everyone knows what happened to their manager.

Reyes's expression was slightly unnatural.

Because he knew what story Chang Sheng was going to tell next.

Sure enough, Chang Sheng spoke, and he told himself how he had made Rondo shovel Reyes' leg.

At this time, all the players looked at Chang Sheng and Reyes with surprise, they really didn't know that there was such a story between the manager and Reyes......

“…… For this, I was banned by the Football Association for two matches after the game. After telling the story of that game, Chang Sheng spread his hands and said, "At that time, my colleagues asked me, is it worth fighting like this for a game?" In any case, even if we lose to Sevilla, with the points we have at the time, we don't necessarily miss out on promotion. But I chose to do it anyway. Besides, I really don't have a grudge against Jose...... Why am I doing this? Why? My approach seemed unnecessary, and it could have left José in a hospital bed for a year and a half. Why do I have to do this? Why do you have to be so desperate for victory in this game, and don't give up until you win? ”

Chang Sheng kept asking rhetorical questions, and he was also asking the players.

yes, why?

Isn't it just a game, even if you lose?

Losing isn't the end of the world – that's how we comfort ourselves, and that's actually the case. Lost a game, aren't we still alive and well?

"It's simple. For Getafe at the time, Sevilla, who had just been relegated from the First Division, were still a behemoth, and they were the favourites for promotion and the title of champion. It's normal for us to lose compared to them, even if it's a draw in the end. But I don't want my players to really think that, so I demand that they have to win, no matter what, at all costs, they have to win! The temperament and confidence of a team are not cultivated by winning five or ten goals against those weak teams, but by fighting to the death by the strong team of the river, and finally defeated them! In the end we won that game and we won it albeit at some cost. That season, we promoted four rounds early, won the title one round early, and finally lifted the Copa del Rey by beating Mallorca, third runners-up in the First Division, in the Copa del Rey final. ”

Chang Sheng spread his hands and looked at his players.

"There are a lot of people who wonder why a team that was almost relegated a season ago can become champions. Quite simply, because the game against Sevilla gave Getafe a championship heart. It's going to be the same now, guys. We are in contention for the league title but we are facing a team like Real Madrid, and even though we won 5-0 at home, they still have a lot of excuses, such as that we did not win, such as that they did not play Zinedine Zidane...... Even the people in our club thought we couldn't compete with Real Madrid...... So in this game, I just want one result - win, I don't want anything else. Because only by beating Real Madrid twice can everyone recognize our efforts, and only in this way can we be regarded as having a real champion heart! The heart of the champion is obtained at such a time, a team that only bullies the weak team, and surrenders when it sees the strong team, will never deserve to win the championship! In this match, I hope all of us can find the heart of the champion from the opponent! ”

"Alright, it's almost time, let's get out." Chang Sheng finished telling the story, waved his hand, said it lightly, and let the players play.

And the Valencia players were still chewing on the story that Chang Sheng told them as they got up and left the dressing room and went to the players' tunnel.

The heart of a champion?

If you win Real Madrid, can you really have the heart of a champion?

With the heart of the champion, can you really win the league championship?

To be honest, a lot of players are full of suspicions, they are not sure if this is the case.

Because the manager said they hadn't experienced it.

Perhaps, this game is an opportunity to experience? ……)
