Chapter 40: The Story of "Genius".
,
The reporters didn't wait for the winning post-match press conference, but they weren't as angry as they were the first time.
Because they finally figured out Chang Sheng's temper, he is a person who eats soft rather than hard. If you fight against him, then he will fight you to the end, and he will really do what he says and never bluff.
This Chinese who came out of nowhere was unlike any coach they had ever come into contact with before, he ...... What a character!
It's completely outside of their experience.
How he deals with this, there is absolutely no experience and conventions to follow.
However, they have already accumulated the most basic experience in the struggle against constant victory, and that is...... Don't fight against him, because you must be the one who is unlucky in the end!
Just like now. They planned to ban Chang Sheng, but found that Chang Sheng couldn't be banned......
So the next day, many media reported this game honestly, but fortunately, Getafe's style of play and tactics against Levante and even the process were similar to the last game they beat Villarreal at home, so reporting this game is equivalent to answering many fans' questions about how Getafe beat Villarreal in the last game.
To be honest, when they advertised their winning record in large numbers, the reporters were very aggrieved.
They actually took the initiative to bow to the enemy......
Where is our dignity as uncrowned kings!
It's just that at this time, in front of the market, their dignity is not worth a pound.

Chang Sheng noticed that the media reports about Getafe and him were suddenly wrong again, and he didn't understand what was going on - he really didn't expect the media to be able to succumb so quickly, he thought that these people would stay up until the end of the season, but after only a week, they broke their promise.
But he doesn't care much about media coverage of him and his team.
The only problem is that there are more journalists in Las Margarita Sports City.
They don't bother themselves, they harass the players.
Especially José Passarella and Carlos Campo, two newcomers who are only 18 years old.
So they went to two people for an interview and asked them to stay calm and not be distracted by the results of a few games.
He showed them the importance of keeping a cool head in their careers.
In order to convince the two young men and take it seriously, Chang Sheng also told them a story: "Once upon a time there was a player who was so talented that God would be jealous of him, he could easily make those difficult feints, and his style of play was pleasing to the eye. But not only that, he not only played beautifully, but also brought victory and championship to the team. But after quickly becoming famous, he lost himself in the rich local nightlife. One day, a comparison chart was published in the newspaper, which was a comparison of the player's image in his first season with the team and four seasons later, and everyone could clearly see that his abdomen with the upper body was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and there was fat...... For a while, criticism was overwhelming, and many people were accusing him of being too self-indulgent, complacent, and lacking in self-motivation......"
"And then? Has he reformed himself? Carlos Campo asked curiously.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, talented players are always arrogant and conceited, they think that they only need a little effort to get back to the top, so most of the time they still sink into the bright days with peace of mind." But inertia is terrible, and when they realize that they should change, they are often powerless to change. Eventually, he was abandoned by the club and moved to another club, but here he was not able to regain his spirits, or he only did a little better before returning to the rich nightlife...... Finally, he was not selected for the national team, he was abandoned by the giants, he could only go back to his hometown to play, and only the legend of his former life was left in world football, but he was no longer there. ”
"Sounds so sad." Carlos Campo said.
"Who's that guy, boss?" José Passarella asked.
"That man...... It's called 'genius'. Chang Sheng replied.
"What a strange name!" Campo exclaimed.
Passarella lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
In fact, Chang Sheng is talking about Ronaldinho.
In his knowledge, he has seen too many people who have become famously carried away in the end, and Brazilian genius Ronaldinho is one of the most famous.
At the beginning of the 03-04 season, Ronaldinho, who joined Barcelona, was simply half the sky. Winner of FIFA's World Footballer of the Year award for two consecutive years and the UEFA Ballon d'Or, it seems that he has replaced Ronaldo, who is on the decline, as the new icon of Brazilian football.
Countless fans were mesmerized by his excellent footwork and inspiration.
The world even thinks that football will be the era of Ronaldinho and that he will also be the next football king.
But the inferiority of the Brazilian players ultimately ruined a generation of unparalleled talent.
Fun-loving Brazilians indulge in all kinds of nightlife and linger in all kinds of nightclubs. Alcohol, beauty, music and parties became the focus and key words of Ronaldinho in the next few years.
He was later abandoned by Barcelona and then by AC Milan and was only able to return to Brazil. Back in Brazil he was also in inconsistent form, very good when he was doing well and disappearing when he was bad. A genius who could have become a king of the ball has just been reduced to a quasi-first-class player.
It's heart-wrenching.
Speaking of Ronaldinho, it seems that he has not gone to Paris Saint-Germain at this time, and he is still in Brazil......
Chang Sheng remembers that Ronaldinho will go to Paris Saint-Germain next summer. At that time, Paris Saint-Germain and Gremio were still rippling, so Chang Sheng was impressed. Originally, the two sides agreed in March 2001, and Paris Saint-Germain bought Ronaldinho for 4.5 million euros. But then Gremio thought that there was less money, and the two sides kept fighting a lawsuit, and it was not until August that Ronaldinho successfully landed at Paris Saint-Germain.
Although Ronaldinho was still in Brazil at this time, Chang Sheng didn't think about snatching him.
Because it's not realistic.
Although Ronaldinho has not yet gone abroad, he has enough influence around the world.
In 1997, he made a name for himself at the World Junior Championships in Egypt, where he was voted the best player and top scorer of the tournament. In 1999, he helped Brazil win the Copa America, and in the 1999 Confederations Cup, Ronaldinho was already the leader of that Brazilian team, and he was eventually voted the top scorer in that Confederations Cup. Although that Brazil team can only be regarded as a second-tier team in Brazil, it can lead Brazil, which shows Ronaldinho's status.
Such a big man, in Europe, there have long been countless giants eyeing him, Getafe, the La Liga team, to rob Ronaldinho with others, it is simply self-inflicted, don't even think about it!
In the end, although Paris Saint-Germain grabbed him, you must know that Paris Saint-Germain, which has fallen to the point where it can only be saved by the oil dollar of the United Arab Emirates, is a proper Ligue 1 giant, a traditional powerhouse, whose strength should not be underestimated, and its fame is very great. At this time, the impression of Ligue 1 was not as weak as it was later, and there was also the title of "five major European leagues" in the media, and the attraction of Paris Saint-Germain was great.

Chang Sheng looked at the two young people in front of him and said to them: "So professional football is a very fair world. If you take football seriously, then football will give you a good result. If you don't take football seriously, football will abandon you. It's the same as planting the land, you plant the seeds, carefully care for the material, weed, fertilize and control pests, then in the autumn you will usher in a bumper harvest. And if you don't do anything but buy the seeds in the field, and then go home and sleep and dream, then in the autumn you will be a wasteland. I want you to remember that, boys. You're young, you're only eighteen years old, and as a professional footballer, you're young to be jealous. You still have a long way to go in the future, and you may not always be in Getafe, but you must not forget to take your profession seriously, no matter where you are. That's how you can succeed. ”
Carlos Campo, whose ideal is to have the home stadium of Getafe named after him, suddenly asked: "Why don't we stay in Getafe forever, boss?" I've been supporting Getafe since I was a kid and I wanted to stay with her until I retired. It would be even better if Getafe's home stadium could be named after me...... Of course, this is my ideal. ”
Hearing his ideal, Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Because Getafe is too small for you. ”
He is well aware that this season, when José Passarella and Campo are both famous, there will be more and more teams interested in them, and they will apply directly to Getafe for a transfer in the future. With Getafe's strength, it is impossible not to be tempted by large sums of money.
In fact, this is also the law of world football. For a small team of Getafe's strength, it is their way to survive, to develop their own young talents, and then to sell them to big clubs. This has nothing to do with ideals or ambitions, this is a very real question.
Even if Getafe shouts "not for sale" in the future, it will only take the opportunity to open his mouth.
The talented players of these small teams, if they perform well, will eventually leave, no matter how much they love their parent team.
He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he has sworn anything and is not worth a penny in professional football.
"To you, boss?" José Passarella asked.
Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "For me, it's a little smaller......"
"Will you leave Getafe?" Campo also understood the meaning of Chang Sheng's words.
"Don't worry, it's not now, it's not next season. I think it's going to be later, it's going to be a lot later, so don't think about it now! Chang Sheng hurriedly said something relieved, he was afraid that what he was going to do in the future would shake the hearts of the two little guys. I still have to rely on their strength to relegate myself.
Of course, he didn't change his mind because of this.
The Getafe fans are very nice, the two players are also very good, and the Getafe fans who live in the apartment building with him are also very lovely and make him feel warm.
But that is not a reason for him to stay where he is.
He's going to be the best manager in the world. Who has ever heard of becoming a famous coach on a team that has been relegated every year?
If you want to improve yourself and become a famous coach, you naturally have to keep going to the big teams to seek opportunities for success.
Getafe, whose stadium stands do not even have a capacity of 20,000 people, is indeed too small for itself to collect.
And the financial situation is not good, you can't even buy a decent player, and it's not attractive for a famous player. How can a team that always cultivates talent for Real Madrid and relies on picking Real Madrid to eat the rest of the work has a future?
To see more wonderful scenery, one has to climb higher peaks.
