Chapter 54: Physical Fitness
,
Vicente Mostok was horrified to find that the Chinese boy who was not favored by him was leading the team towards the goal of relegation step by step.
The media wondered how an inexperienced Chinese could lead a team out of the relegation zone in just seven league games.
Equally puzzled are Moscovy.
In his forty-seven years of life, he had never encountered anything like this.
A coach who has never had any experience in the first team before, and is still a 28-year-old Chinese, can lead Getafe to relegation!
How exactly did he do it?
I searched through the newspapers and couldn't find the answer.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that he is about to succeed.
Once he succeeds, Mostomo will have to give him transfer power, which is the most important one.
Now he really regrets why he thought about it in the first place and wrote this in the contract.
I would have known that I would have made a verbal agreement with him at the beginning.
When the time comes, just turn your face and deny it.
Now it is written in the contract, in black and white, and anyone can see it. If he doesn't admit it, people will sue him, and he will be unlucky in the end.
And this kid has a very good relationship with the old guy Flores, Flores always defends him everywhere, even if he wants to do this, he can't pass the club president level in the first place.
The only thing that can give Moscow a little more comfort is that the contract is only one year. A year later, he made a casual excuse to kick Chang Sheng - he didn't believe that Chang Sheng could achieve much success in Getafe.
Even if he can lead the team to relegation, it is also related to his short time in charge.
Because of the short time, everyone can't study him thoroughly. Because of the short time, the players are always fresh.
Over time, he will inevitably expose more problems, and by then his opponents will study him thoroughly and his players will lose their freshness about him.
By then, what other means did he have?
In Moscoto's view, the follow-up regular wins will not last even a season.
At that time, the team's results will be a mess, and he will see how Flores will protect this young man!
At that time, he will threaten him with the team's poor results, either get out of the way early, or return the transfer power!
Thinking of this, Moscoto's heart finally improved.
He can't change this season.
Then be patient and wait for next season......
He wants to see what this idiot will do with his transfer power. He didn't believe that the young man had any eyes on people. Vision requires experience accumulation, experience accumulation takes time, what experience does a young person have?
Maybe it's just that I heard that the club managers in England have transfer rights, which means that everything is good in England, so I came to make this request.
In fact, he estimated that Chang Sheng himself didn't know how to use the transfer rights!
Then I'll just wait to see the joke!

Winning two games against direct relegation rivals has given the winning team confidence and the momentum of their colleagues.
The current standings in the league from 16th to 22nd place are like this.
Sixteenth-placed in the league is Badajoz, who are currently on 44 points and arguably the most optimistic team in terms of relegation, unless they lose all three of their last three rounds, they are at risk of relegation.
In seventeenth place is Atletico Madrid B, which is the reserve team of Atletico Madrid with 42 points.
The eighteenth place is Getafe, led by Chang Sheng, who also has 42 points, but because of the small goal difference, it is temporarily slapped below the Atletico Madrid B team.
Entered the relegation zone from 19th place.
Nineteenth Compostela, forty points.
Twentieth place is Rogronnis with 39 points.
Twenty-first, Huelva, who had just lost at home to Getafe, has thirty-seven points.
Toledo, the penultimate place, has only 33 points after 39 rounds of league games, and has basically been relegated early.
According to the rules of the Spanish Football League, the bottom four of La Liga are relegated to Group B. With a nine-point gap between Toledo and fifth-from-bottom Getafe, there is only a theoretical chance of relegation.
Getafe, on the other hand, are two points clear of 19th place in the relegation zone.
In terms of points, the perennial team is only two points ahead, which is not yet a safe score.
But given the morale of the whole team, these two points may be a starting point.
Because the strength of the opponents in the last three rounds is average, it is not a strong team, and the most important thing is that they are worry-free about relegation, and there is no hope of promotion.
Such a team lacks motivation and fighting spirit.
When Getafe shows a desperate streak, they back down – they just can't afford to fight a relegation team.
This is the truth of any league.
Unless they're fighting for something, that's a different story.

There are still three rounds left before the end of the league, and for all teams that want to be relegated, they are the last three rounds that must grit their teeth and hold onto. Because after a long season, they have had fitness problems, injuries have increased, and a limited number of players have been put on more work. Playing a game at this point is more tiring than playing a game at the beginning of the season.
Getafe's strength and conditioning coach, Juan Carlos Zavala Agas, knows this. So in recent weeks he has been closely monitoring the team's physical exertion.
He is also ready to give advice to head coach Chang Sheng on the changes in physical fitness and revise the training plan.
For example, I asked for an increase in the amount of physical training, and asked the team doctor Ruben Rodriguez to follow up in time.
It stands to reason that the last stage of the season is the time when things are most likely to go wrong.
Juan Zavala has this experience.
But this time he thought it was strange.
Based on his observations, the Getafe players are in good shape.
At least it's higher than the same period in previous seasons, and even more so than the other teams!
He knows that Chang Sheng has emphasized physical training since he took over the team, but can it really make such a earth-shaking change in the team's physical condition in more than a month? He also read Chang Sheng's training plan.
He knew that Chang Sheng didn't think there was anything special.
That is, the general physical training intensity is higher, and the amount is larger.
But can this be achieved?
This Getafe team is at least 10 per cent more fit than any other team in the same period! It may not seem like a lot of 10 per cent, but with three rounds of the league remaining, that 10 per cent fitness advantage could be a game-changer.
When you have a weak heart, even if you have one percent more physical strength than others, you may be able to seize the opportunity, let alone ten percent more!
Juan Zavala naturally couldn't have known that this was the result of a winning game-type skill. Before the start of each match, he chooses to use the "Run to the Death" skill in this match.
Of course, he only has this skill available.
However, at the end of the league, only this skill is the most useful.
The other "five percent increase in the probability of winning a physical confrontation" and "a five percent increase in the success rate of counterattacks" are all flashy at this time.
Confrontation and counterattack or something, all need physical strength to support.
Without physical fitness, you can't do anything.
It is no exaggeration to say that physical fitness is fundamental and fundamental to modern football.
Just as a car needs gas, a team needs fitness.
So Juan Zavala never felt like a physical trainer and was inferior to others. Because the work he does is the cornerstone of the whole team.
Zavala didn't know it was a winning skill, but he was pleased that his manager was so focused on fitness and that it was paying off.
He is now more confident of his team's relegation.

In fact, Tsuneki also noticed that the team was in good shape, and he certainly did not follow the conclusion like Zavala, but only from the fact that the players were running aggressively in training and games, but did not show obvious fatigue.
He knew what it was about.
He wasn't fussing like Zavala.
After he once again confirmed the effect of [Running Immortal], he put his mind into the last three rounds of work.
The last three rounds are all in one go.
Start by breaking through the first enemy, keep your fighting spirit high, and then destroy all your opponents!

On May 21, the 40th round of the Spanish Second Division kicked off.
Getafe host Tenerife.
The team was also part of La Liga last season.
After being relegated to the second division, it also sank rapidly, with a large number of players leaving and not receiving financial support.
Now it's not very good in the second division.
Although it is said that it is in the middle of the stream and has no worries about relegation, it is not expected to return to the first division, this season.
The ever-winning Getafe was a big surprise when they faced Tenerife at home.
And when the Getafe players showed their lethal defence in the early stages of the game, the Tenerife were honest. Of course, Getafe also paid the price for two yellow cards in ten minutes.
In the end, thanks to stubborn defence and sharp counter-attacks, Getafe beat Tenerife 1-0 at home to get a win and three points.
However, after the game, none of the Getafe fans and players left, they all stayed in their places and waited for news from the other two venues.
19th place Compostela hosts Ebar and 20th place Rogronnis travels to Atletico Madrid B.
A few minutes later, the stadium's radio came with the latest news: "Compostela is flattened by Ebar!" Rogronnis lost to Atletico Madrid B!! ”
When the news spread, there was a huge cheer throughout the Afonso Pérez stadium.
This result means that there will be no change in the rankings of several teams, which are also 18th, 19th and 20th. As a result, the gap between Getafe and the relegation zone has widened to four points.
Four points means that as long as Getafe wins in the next round of the league, they will be relegated one round earlier!
The goal that has been fought for a season is finally close at hand and within reach!
