Chapter 202: Let's Be the Ocean

The media throughout Madrid are talking about tomorrow's La Liga match.

Getafe host Sevilla.

The pre-match analysis showed that the media were overwhelmingly favoured by Sevilla, who are currently top of the league, to beat Getafe.

After all, the Getafe club has given up its death throes and is waiting for the debt to come due and the banks to take back ownership.

The news was a fatal blow to the Getafe side and the last straw that broke their back.

Getafe's performance is not hard to predict and will certainly be the same as before...... No, it's not as good as before.

Because they're completely finished!

Not to mention the strong performances of Sevilla after Caparros took over, and now they have regained the top spot in the league that rightfully belonged to them, and they are strong. In addition, in the first half of the season, Sevilla lost 0-3 at home to Getafe.

That match also sparked a lot of controversy.

Sevilla must be desperate for revenge.

This means that they will not show mercy on the road, and even if Getafe is no longer motivated, they will slaughter their opponents to their heart's content, just to be ashamed.

The club is finished, the team's morale is broken, and the opponent has a powerful vengeance**...... There is no suspense in this game at all, so what else is there to see?

But even so, there was still a lot of media to follow the game.

After all, this is a "strong conversation" between the first and third in the league, although one of the "strong" has to be put in quotation marks.

Another very important reason is that these reporters will not miss any opportunity to ridicule and ridicule Chang Sheng.

Didn't that bastard of Chang Sheng speak wildly?

Say you're going to slap us in the face with a league title and make us regret it?

Then let's see his idiot jokes in this game now.

With the mindset of watching winning jokes. There were no less than 30 reporters at the pre-match press conference.

There are so many reporters, it is rare to see them in the second division, and only the focus battles in the second division can enjoy this kind of treatment.

However, Sevilla's manager, Caparos, remained calm in the face of such a big battle, which was the only fly in the ointment that journalists felt - he did not make any bold statements to provoke further war of words between the two sides.

His expression remained calm.

But reporters always have a way of getting Caparos to speak for them, or say what they want to hear.

The media interpreted Caparos's calm as a visceral disdain and contempt for Getafe - you see, it is not uncommon for people to heed the wild words of your Getafe manager, who wanted to provoke the other side, but unexpectedly kicked him to an iron plate. It's deflated, right?

In the eyes of the media, Chang Sheng is best at using all kinds of wild words to provoke the anger of the opposing head coach, so that the opponent loses his cool. And he himself has a chance.

But now that Caparos doesn't eat him at all, what are his chances of winning?

The only trick failed!

Next, just wait and see his jokes.

Come to think of it. The reporters were full of light-hearted and happy moods.

Getafe is really dead this time and can't die anymore.

If nothing else, in a month and a half, their debts will be due, and Flores will have nothing left and he will only be kicked out of the club. Getafe will be taken back by the bank, and at the same time, all the activities of the former directors of the club will be frozen, and the club will listen to only one person, the interim president they appointed. He will take charge of the club on a temporary basis until the bank finds a new owner for the club.

But in the meantime, all the interim head can do is maintain the basic operations of the club and make sure that it doesn't fall into ruin.

As for any transfers, signings, and other things that cost money, don't even think about it, of course. Sponsorship must be done, otherwise the whole club will starve to death.

When the bank temporarily manages the club, they will also pay everyone a salary, but this salary will eventually become the team's debt, rolled over to the previous debt.

Therefore, if the new owner wants to take on as little debt as possible, it is time to make a move.

Atletico Madrid's squad was so strong last season. It's all because of this kind of hosting thing that has been tossed and downgraded.

None of the people in the room believed that the victorious Getafe could break this pattern and survive.

Even if they don't get relegated, don't expect promotion, let alone a league title!

Chang Sheng is really a pipe dream!

The atmosphere at the press conference in Sevilla was relaxed now, but the pre-match press conference at Getafe was not so cheerful.

After Sevilla manager Caparros left the press conference, the remaining reporters began to wonder how they would be able to ridicule and ridicule at the press conference for a while.

There are many plans that have popped up in their smart brains. They promise to make the thickest skinned people in the world die of shame.

But they didn't wait to win.

When Manuel. Garcia appeared in front of the reporters, and he could clearly see the stunned expressions on their faces. These reporters may not have expected that before such an important game, Chang Sheng would be a turtle with a shrunken head!

He didn't come to the pre-match press conference.

Manuel. Garcia understands the winning approach very well, and no one wants to be humiliated.

However, he didn't care about the ridicule of the reporters, so he strode up to the rostrum and said to the stunned reporters below: "I am often assigned to represent the team at the pre-match press conference, you can ask me any questions." ”

A reporter reacted first from his astonishment, and he shouted: "What is the reason? Why didn't he attend the press conference?! ”

Manuel. Garcia looked calm: "No need for a reason. ”

Chang Sheng and Rudy. Gonzalez is leading the team at Alfonso. Perez Stadium conducts training to acclimatize the venue.

Rudy asked him, "Why didn't you go by yourself again?" Don't you like to spray with reporters the most? ”

Chang Sheng shrugged: "I'm too lazy to deal with them." ”

"Why?"

"Because I feel that silence is more powerful than noise at this time. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and everything that needs to be said has been said. It's just a waste of time to repeat those clichés. Chang Sheng said this and looked up at the stands.

Alfonso. Pérez Stadium is really not a big stadium, even if for Chang Sheng in his previous life, he has not been to any stadium to watch the game, but only learned about European stadiums through live TV, he also thinks that Getafe's stadium can only be said to be small. Not even medium-sized. For the stadium that has seen too many giants at every turn of fifty or sixty thousand people, Alfonso. Perez Stadium is a mini.

But even with such a small stadium, it's not easy to fill all of them.

In his opinion. Only the last few games of last season's relegation, as well as some games in the first half of the season, have all been filled. For example, the match against Atletico Madrid was full.

But other times. Such opportunities are few and far between.

He gave a mobilization order on the radio, and Enrique was helping to connect them. But how many fans will listen to him and come to watch the game?

In the last few home games, there have been fewer and fewer Getafe fans watching the game. Obviously, the team's poor results and the uncertain future of the club have made many people lose interest in coming to the stadium to watch the game.

Tomorrow, if it is still like the previous home games, the crowd in the stands will be sparsely pulled, east and west, like a leper head. How is he going to deal with it?

In that case, do you still have the confidence to tell the players that they are going to fight for the fans?

Don't look at Chang Sheng, who always shows confidence in front of people, there is an inexplicable self-confidence.

But at this time, his heart was very worried.

He did everything he had to do, even giving a speech on war mobilization on the radio. What else could he do?

He has done his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and he has now done his best. Now it's up to fate.

God, do you want me to die or don't you want me to die?

We'll see tomorrow.

Since Caparros took over Sevilla, he has promoted the young players of the B team, such as Reyes, who has given him more trust and playing opportunities. And these young players did not disappoint Caparos, who believed in them, and helped Sevilla FC to catch up with Getafe, and eventually managed to overtake Getafe.

Sevilla's outstanding performance in the league has made many Sevilla fans full of optimism about this game.

And not just the fans. That's what a lot of Sevilla's players see.

For Sevilla up and down, there was no suspense in this game.

Since Getafe's economic crisis, whoever runs against Getafe in the league is lucky, meaning they can pick up three points for nothing.

From the players to the average fan, they are already thinking about how they can extend their lead at the top of the table after winning Getafe.

Sevilla are now seven points ahead of second-placed Real Betis and eight ahead of Getafe. That's a huge point advantage. If they can win this game, they will be eleven points ahead of Getafe.

That perennial winner even brazenly said that his team could still win the league championship?

Eleven points apart, how to chase?!

Caparros was calm in his pre-match press conference, but the Sevilla fans were not. They were already unhappy with what they were saying. It's just that they don't have the right to speak, and they can only scold Chang Sheng in private, they can't get on the stage, they can't be in the newspaper, and Chang Sheng can't see or hear it.

It's somewhat depressing.

Now they are not depressed.

They can take a hard bite with a victory in this game: "You still want to win the First Division?" Did you ask us no! ”

The only pity is that the game was away from home and they couldn't turn the whole stadium into a hell that scared Getafe.

Let this victory not be perfect, there are regrets.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the warm sun is shining on people's bodies, and people just want to lie in their chairs, listen to the soft music on the radio, and do nothing better.

"Daniel Time, welcome to Daniel Time, the most spicy, funniest and best show in Getafe!" Daniel. Robbio. Velasco's voice rang out on many radios at the same time.

"Today. The theme of our show is -- You're going to Alfonso. Pérez Stadium to watch the afternoon game? Everyone is welcome to call and communicate with Daniel......"

Radio Ri Daniel. Robbio. Velasco's voice continued, but the people outside the radio didn't pay attention to him, and they seemed extremely busy.

"Is the banner ready?"

"Ready!"

"What about the slogan? And our flags! One last check before you go! Be sure to be foolproof! ”

At the headquarters of the Blue Legion, the cadres are loudly reminding everyone to get ready. Everyone was busy with their own business, and they were running there to listen to their usual favorite "Daniel Time".

"By the way, who saw Kikke?" Someone is asking.

"I don't know. I didn't pay attention......"

"Damn, where did he run when he's so busy......"

Enrique. Gonzalez hides in an unobtrusive corner. On the phone: "Hey, is it me?" Is it me, Daniel? ”

"Yes. It's you, this dear friend, you're the lucky first friend to break into our show, do you have anything to say? ”

※※※

"My name is Enrique. Gonzalez, everybody calls me Kik, I'm a Getafe fan, I'm going to watch this game live......" came Enrique on the radio. Gonzalez's voice, since it was relayed over the phone, was a bit cacophonic.

'I also hope that everyone can go and support our team, even though the team is in terrible form at the moment. But that's exactly what it is. We need to support them even more. Because if we don't support them, they're really doomed. And when the team is finished, what can we, the fans, do? When the team is finished, will we be happy and happy? ”

In the base of the Blue Commando, in that abandoned warehouse. The afternoon sun slanted in through the glassless windows, separating the dark warehouse space.

Dozens of key members gathered together to be led by their leader, Alfaro. Rios was standing on a table, and just as a ray of light came in through the high window, enveloping him and the table at his feet, giving him the impression of a high-minded Alfaro. Rios is the center of gravity of the stage, the feeling of the protagonist.

"Guys!" The protagonist yells. "Today is a good day!! We're going to have a self-righteous league win at home! We've got to give those Andalusian sluts some color! We're going to tear their bodies apart! Trample them under our feet! Let the Andalusian idiots realize whose territory it is! ”

"It's us! It's Blue Commando! It's Blue Commando! Everyone looked up at him. Wave your fist and let out such a shout. They face with Alfaro. Rios had a fanatical expression, and there was fire beating in his eyes.

"Yes! We're going to get Alfonso. Perez Stadium turns into hell! Kill all the enemies here! This is our war! Kill-die-them!! ”

"Kill-!!"

The roars of the fanatical fans even disturbed the airflow, and the droplets and dust in the pillars of light flew wildly.

The radio chattered in the corner next to it, but no one cared at all.

※※※

"I read the media reports and they were laughing at us, they said that Getafe was just a fan and that they were always hoping for a bunch of poor fans...... Yes, we Getafe fans are just like our team, poor people, because none of us are rich. We can't save our team with money, but there's another way we can save the team, and that's by going to the game! Use our voices! Our gestures, our slogans, banners, flags...... Support them with everything we can! Support our own team! ”

At the potato and egg pancake bar that Chang Sheng frequented, people kept entering, but no one came out.

None of them had come to eat, but rather as if they were gathering, waiting for a certain moment.

After they met, they hugged warmly and greeted each other loudly, as if they had not seen each other for many years. In fact, it is indeed an old friend who has not seen each other for many years, and many of them have not seen each other for several years, and they are on different sides. Have your own family, life, career, and other messy things.

There was only one reason to get them back together - to go to the scene and cheer on Getafe.

The owner of the bar hung a sign outside the door of the bar that read, "Closed for today, go Alfonso. Pérez Stadium is more important than making money for Getafe! ”

※※※

"Each of us is insignificant, not a tycoon, not a politician. Not a celebrity, not a celebrity...... Each of us is like a stream that is not worth mentioning. But guys, I'm convinced. No matter how vast the ocean is, it is also formed by the convergence of countless inconspicuous streams! Today, let's bring together these insignificant, worthless streams. Converge into an ocean! Let's drown Seville completely! ”

When Enrique. After Gonzalez finished speaking, Daniel was uncharacteristically silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you Kik, you said awesome!" Every stream ends up emptying into the sea, but every ocean is also formed by streams...... So, listeners, today, in Alfonso. Perez Stadium, let's be the ocean! ”

※※※

The game starts at half past five in the afternoon. But by three o'clock, many fans were already out of their homes and taking to the streets.

They wore uniform blue Getafe jerseys with blue Getafe scarves tied around their arms.

Even though there were still two and a half hours to go, the Getafe fans couldn't help themselves. Urged by the fire in their hearts, they set out for Alfonso, north of Getafe. Perez Stadium.

They opened the door, and at first it was just one or two people, two or three, three or five people, and when they went downstairs. They became a dozen people.

When they passed a street and turned a corner, they became dozens of people.

As they crossed a block, several streets, and at each intersection a procession of dozens of people gathered, and they became more than a hundred.

Then, a few hundred people.

Then, there were thousands.

Getafe fans are like they have come out of a cave in the dirt, they have come out of every corner of the city. appeared, then converged, and walked side by side, towards the northern course.

In the process, more and more people joined in, and the number of people exploded, from creeks to rivers, and the streets of Getafe to riverbeds, filled with these blue and flowing Getafe fans.

In the end, they are no longer rivers, they are floods, mighty floods!

Distance from Alfonso. As Perez Stadium gets closer, the flood becomes more and more alarming.

I don't know where to start, someone sang the Getafe team song, and more people joined in, and it eventually became a rumbling momentum.

Singing echoes over the city of Getafe.

At the end of the song, they began to chant the slogan: "Come on! Getafe! Onward, Navy Legion! Come on, Getafe! Advance! Navy Legion!! ”

Fans chanted slogans, clapped their hands and waved their arms in unison, just as they did in the stadium stands, except that they turned the streets into stands.

This torrent eventually converged on Alfonso. In front of the square in front of Perez Stadium, they stopped, looking from the air, the afternoon sun shone on each of them, their blue jerseys, reflecting the sun, as if ** sparkling, undulating blue ocean.

"Oh my God...... there is a family in Alfonso. The host of the TV station that was doing the live broadcast outside the Perez Stadium and reported the connection in front of him suddenly looked in the direction behind the camera and grew his mouth.

"What's wrong, Miguel?" An inquiry from the host in the rear came from the headset. "Do you see aliens? Ha! ”

The host was still teasing the reporter in front of him, but when the picture in front of him quickly moved and froze, he couldn't laugh, and he was like the reporter in front of him, Miguel, staring blankly at the picture shown to him by the camera, unable to say a word.

In the footage, countless Getafe fans are emerging from every street and pouring towards the stadium from all directions.

They were densely packed, singing, shouting slogans, and waving their arms.

Step by step to the court, to the reporters, to the camera, it was like an army overwhelmed, and people even stopped breathing.

They are all Getafe fans.

It's an ordinary fan who is dismissed by the media.

They heard the call of victory. In response to his call, he came.

Then appeared in front of the cameras of the reporters, making everyone who saw this scene feel suffocated.

※※※

Although Lemmon really didn't want to be masochistic in front of the TV anymore.

But when it was time to play, he turned on the TV, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Then he sat on the couch and watched the TV screen that was gradually lighting up, listening to the cheers coming from the loudspeakers...... Hey?

It doesn't seem right.

His TV always shows the picture first. Then the sound comes out, and the sound has a delay compared to the appearance of the picture.

But now the screen is still flickering, why did the sound come out first?

Only then did he realize that the sound was not supposed to come from the television.

So he listened. Then it turned out that the noise was coming from nearby Alfonso. From the Perez Stadium!

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he jumped up from the couch and threw himself at the window. Then he saw a scene that he will never forget—Alfonso. The square outside Perez Stadium was full of people! Dense crowds of people and blue Getafe jerseys, they are connected, like an undulating ocean!

This is enough to make people with dense phobia feel sick, but it makes Lemmon stunned on the spot!

You must know that in the last round of the league, also at home, Getafe lost 2:4 to Murcia. That game, Alfonso. Perez Stadium is as quiet as a place to put the dead.

A few games before, Alfonso. The attendance at Perez Stadium was even worse than one game, and it was clear that the fans had lost confidence......

It seems that he is not the only one with matchday depression.

But now. They're all here! They filled Alfonso. The square in front of Perez Stadium! They will also fill Alfonso. Grandstand at Perez Stadium!

The media were right, Getafe had only 12,000 members, and Alfonso. Perez Stadium has a capacity of more than 18,000 people. Even if all the members went, they couldn't sit in the stadium stands.

But now...... There are a lot of Getafe fans who are not members, and they all came! They are not sitting full of Alfonso. Perez Stadium, they're going to drown it!

Frightened by this scene, Lemmon remembered the "Covenant of Champions" who always won. thought of the mobilization that Chang Sheng did on the radio......

Do these people really listen to him? They all went!

I haven't seen this scene for more than a month, right?

Alfonso. How did Perez Stadium come back to life?

Chang actually mobilized every corner of the city!

He suddenly felt that as Chang Sheng's neighbor, he actually didn't know anything about Chang Sheng, and he didn't care enough about it......

※※※

Francisco. Flores, along with the president of Seville, walked out of the aisle and onto the podium.

When he saw the completely full stadium, he froze.

The atmosphere in the stadium was as lively as if Getafe had been upgraded......

He was shocked and incredible.

Getafe is like that now. It stands to reason that the number of fans who come to the stadium every game should be smaller and smaller.

But this match made Alfonso. Perez Stadium is full!

He was reminded of the radio show in which Chang Sheng called on the fans of Getafe to take action.

I didn't expect these fans to really come......

Often, that guy ...... Really did it!

With so many fans and such a fiery atmosphere, Flores has never seen it this season. Not to mention this season, he has been at the helm of Getafe for nine years, and he has not seen many scenes like today......

I don't know why, seeing this scene, his originally shrunken and decadent body seemed to be injected with a force, and his waist straightened up.

Then he turned his head to look at the president of the Sevilla club next to him, Robert. Els.

It was found that Els was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Such a frenetic, terrifying home atmosphere is rare even at the Pizjuán Stadium......

And Flores laughed.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said to Els in high spirits: "Welcome to Alfonso. Perez Field, Mr. Els! ”

Vicente. Moskoro was also stunned when he saw the scene in the stadium stands.

After a brief moment of distraction, however, he came to his senses.

It's just a bunch of ignorant fans...... Even if they shouted that the stadium was destroyed, it would be useless!

The enthusiasm of the fans will soon be repelled by the team's poor performance!

When they found out that their cheers weren't enough for the team to win a game. All their passion was burned in this game, and all that was left was a ruin. By then, I'm afraid there won't be so many people coming out to support the team.

Of course he knew, these were all shouted by Chang Sheng.

However, in his opinion, they are really just a dying struggle, and he does not believe that the lost dog Getafe can beat Sevilla, the top of the league at home!

Look at the boss's high-spirited appearance. It made him even more unhappy.

In a little more than a month, the damn obnoxious old man will be gone, although the bank will send an agent over. But he is the one who is really in charge of the team. Custodians generally do not interfere with the operation of the team, as long as it does not involve the bottom line.

So he's going to be the biggest name in the club in no time! When the time comes, there will be no one in your head to point fingers at you!

So let's make this match the death knell for Flores......

※※※

Chang Sheng and his players sit in the dressing room. The TV in the dressing room was on, and the pre-match program for the game was being played on it.

"This is the picture from earlier...... "The host said, cutting to Alfonso. The square of the Perez Stadium.

The sun was brighter and brighter than it was now, and it was clear that this was indeed the scene of half an hour ago.

There weren't many people in the square, but soon countless fans in Getafe's blue jerseys poured out from all directions, chanting slogans that could be heard even through the television.

"Come on! Getafe! Advance! Blue Army!! ”

"It's like these fans come out of every corner of the city, and then they come together along the way, from nothing. From less to more, gather sand into a tower......" The host's commentary rang out. "They marched through every street in the city of Getafe and finally arrived here...... To be honest, I was really shocked after seeing this scene, I didn't expect Chang to really call so many fans for the team! I'm starting to worry. Alfonso. Can Pérez Stadium accommodate so many people...... Maybe a lot of them don't have tickets at all, they can't get into the stadium at all...... But they still came, and they showed their support for Getafe with practical actions! ”

Chang Sheng watched this scene on the TV, he saw the fans marching through the streets, he saw the fans gathering from different directions, and then moving forward in the same direction and goal.

He couldn't help himself. clenched his fists.

They're coming! Live up to my trust, it's coming!

The closed locker room door could not close the sound outside, and everyone could hear the cheers and singing coming from the stands...... Those are their Getafe fans!

The breathing of everyone in the locker room was much heavier, and many of them clenched their fists.

Chang Sheng turned his head to look at the players who were clenching their teeth, their faces were ruddy, their eyes were wide, and their fists were clenched.

They were clearly also deeply affected by the actions of these fans.

Strength, courage, and love have been passed from the fans to the players......

He opened his mouth and said, "Seeing this scene, I don't think I need to say anything more, right? How honourable are we to fight to the death for fans like this? They didn't let us down, and now it's our turn not to let them down. I don't think I need to tell you anything more, do I? ”

Pedro. Canizares jerked up from his seat, and the captain of the team blushed and roared, "Getafe! Fight-fight-!! ”

"Combat !!" The others rose to their feet and chanted along with their captain. Whether it's those veteran players, or those who have been trained in the Getafe Academy, or those who have only moved to the team this season, or even loaned...... Everyone, all blushing and bruised in their necks, opened their mouths and roared hoarsely.

※※※

Sevilla's players were intimidated when they were not as prepared as the pitch was ready to warm up.

Suddenly there was a huge roar in the stands, like a thunderclap on the ground, which startled the Sevilla players.

They couldn't help but look up at the stands, and they saw that everything was blue.

Densely packed with countless Getafe fans.

They stood in the stands, waving their arms and chanting.

I was very excited when I saw the players from both sides come out to warm up.

All sorts of slogans and banners fluttered above the stands, all cheering on Getafe.

They tried to find Sevilla fans in these crowds, and their only supporters, only five hundred.

But they didn't find it.

Sevilla fans seem to be completely submerged in this sea of blue.

Some of Sevilla's players have played in the first division, having been to the Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid, to the Camp Nou, home of Barcelona, and Calderón, home of Atletico Madrid...... Even their own home stadium, Estadio Pizjuan, is known for its terrifying home atmosphere.

But the Sevilla players were in disbelief at what they saw, because the little Alfonso. Pérez's momentum was as impressive as it was at the Bernabeu, Camp Nou and Calderón, nor was it lost to their Pizjuan Stadium.

How did these fans do it......

Sevilla's players were suddenly panicked.

When they warmed up on the field, they all seemed absent-minded, always looking up at the stands, and the effect of this warm-up can be imagined.

Next to them, in the next half, the Getafe players ignored all this, bowing their heads one by one and warming up seriously.

Just as their head coach didn't attend the pre-match press conference because he thought silence was more powerful than noise, the players are now silent and accumulating strength.

If someone thinks that such a group of people is harmless to humans and animals, then they will be in bad luck.

Because each of them remembered what their manager said to them before they came out to warm up.

"Remember, folks, let those who hate us hate us even more, and give confidence and strength to those who support us! You can do it! ”

※※※

ps, I was moved by writing this chapter, even if I reread this chapter more than half a month later, it still makes me tearful and my nose is sour.

I love this chapter, very, very much.

I have in my head those Getafe fans pouring out of their homes and flocking to Alfonso. A lot of pictures from Perez Stadium, I wrote them out.

I think the true meaning of football lies in these ordinary fans.

It is they who hold up this sport, this industry, and it is they who hold up countless dreams.

This chapter pays tribute to countless ordinary fans.

And, of course, to you, my dear readers.

You are my ocean, and without you I am nothing.

So...... Let's be the ocean!

Let's drown everything on the road to chasing your dreams this month!

Guys, fight-fight-!!
