Chapter 148: Preparing for the King's Cup
The Christmas holiday passed quickly for Chang Sheng, making him feel that he didn't have enough time.
The Christmas holidays are the same for the players.
The former is because he feels that there is too little time for him to do his homework, and the latter because he thinks that happy days are always so short.
In a blink of an eye, it was January 1st, and on the first day of the new year, the whole team gathered and began training.
Three days later, we will play the second round of the Copa del Rey against Celta Vigo.
The results of the medical examination satisfied Chang Sheng, and every player listened to what he had said before the holiday, and they did not fool around during the holiday, but kept themselves in good shape.
Chang Sheng, who got the medical report, was satisfied with the self-discipline of the players: "Yes, guys! You guys are better than I thought! I thought I'd have to kill a few to keep you awake, but now it's okay. Actually, I don't want to be a wicked person all the time, you all know. ”
Then he started talking to the players about how important the game was in three days' time.
"Celta Vigo is a La Liga team. But so what? That's all. The Copa del Rey is a hotbed of upsets, and anything can happen. Giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona could be knocked out by teams that are lower than me, so why can't we try to knock out Celta? ”
One of the players looked surprised and was grabbed by the long.
He pointed to the surprised Balado and Kaiku: "Yes, that's right, that's it!" I'm sure there are many more people who are surprised, but it doesn't show on their faces! No. Don't hide, don't be afraid, I'm not blaming you...... Actually, your behavior is normal. But we're not a normal team. I'm an abnormal person, so there are some things that can't be guessed according to normal thoughts. Our opponents are strong. So few people would think that we would be able to beat them. This is normal. But if everything is within normal limits, how boring the world would be. Because there are no surprises at all. If we can beat Celta, what a surprise? ”
"You have to remember that football is about winning. No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the situation, victory is our highest and only goal, and this game is no exception. All our efforts are aimed at winning this game. It's a pity that there is too little time. So it's going to be a very hard three days, but I think when you get rid of La Liga and advance to the next round, you'll feel that all the hard work you've put in is worth it! Because. Victory, really, really fun! It's so fun that you can give everything for it! ”
The first day of training of the new year began with Chang Sheng's impassioned speech, and the struggle of the last half of the season began.
If you want to beat a first-class team, you can't just say a few nice words.
Training is naturally done well. But this is the foundation, and if you rely on this alone, it is still not enough.
Football matches are wars in peacetime, and they turn out to be wars. Then you have to be strategic.
It is necessary to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.
If the two sides fight hard power. Chang Sheng felt that he might not be able to bargain.
Celta are currently eighth in La Liga, which is considered to be a mid-table strength.
If Celta is given all the best. I'm afraid that I will die a miserable death......
Although losing to such a strong team is not a shame, let alone a failure.
But Chang Sheng didn't want to just throw in the towel.
If he is Don Quixote, then Celta is a windmill.
He wants to challenge the windmill, which seems stupid to outsiders. But as long as the method is obtained, it is not necessarily stupid.
If you really rush straight over, you will definitely be thrown into the sky by a windmill in the end.
But what if it's digging a windmill corner?
Therefore, the struggle must pay attention to strategy, and a lot of enthusiasm does not mean that there are few roots in the brain.
Chang Sheng began to plot to dig into the corner of Celta.
On the first day of training, journalists gathered at Las Margarita Sports City to watch Getafe train – albeit only for 15 minutes in public.
But it also attracts a lot of journalists.
Getafe's performance before the winter break surprised everyone, and they had previously looked at Getafe with old eyes, believing that the club on the outskirts of Madrid was a fish belly and would be able to avoid relegation this season.
No one dares to look at it that way now. Even the newspaper Marca had to pay more attention to Getafe.
After all, there are many readers who want to know everything about Getafe, and the newspaper "Marca" cannot go against the will of the people.
After the training session, the Getafe club held its first regular press conference of the new year.
Chang Sheng appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The Copa del Rey three days later was naturally the most talked-about.
The conversation revolves around this.
The reporters were used to seeing Chang Sheng's face, but they didn't expect Chang Sheng to appear at the press conference to be in a low mood.
It's only the first day of training at the beginning of the year, and my mood is not high, so what could be the reason?
Gone wrong in the team?
That's the only question journalists can think of.
The reporters, who had been unhappy with the victory, suddenly became excited.
However, the local reporters in Getafe looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
No one knows what is going on with Chang Sheng. Even the reporters of the newspaper "Local Life in Getafe", who was closest to Chang Sheng, were baffled.
Finding that everyone didn't know, they looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
The press conference had just begun, and the first person to stand up and ask questions was Harvey. Passos, the journalist of the newspaper Marca, is a sworn enemy of the ever-winning party.
He was a little proud when he stood up, because he had dealt with Chang Sheng for more than half a year, and it was the first time he would frown when he saw Chang Sheng, and his mood was not high.
Chang Sheng, who appeared in front of him before, was always on his toes and holding his head high. That nostril looks at people. A cocky look where the whole world is trampled under his feet.
Let's be honest, Harvey. The first part of the reason why Passos and Chang Sheng are against each other is because of Chang Sheng's expression, so that he, the uncrowned king, always feels that he is despised by the other party in front of Chang Sheng.
As a journalist working for one of the most influential newspapers in Spain. Harvey. Naturally, Passos also feels that his influence is also the greatest.
Normally, anyone who hears that he is a reporter for the newspaper "Marca" and does not ask him what kind of news he is responsible for, will cast a respectful look at him.
He enjoyed this kind of gaze.
But Chang Sheng never did this, and the way he looked at Passos always made Passos feel cold.
He hated the feeling.
That's why he keeps looking for trouble with Chang Sheng, just to make Chang Sheng look at himself with the attitude and eyes he should have like others.
Now, he finally saw his hope of victory.
He stood up triumphantly. Then asked: "You have a Copa del Rey second round against a First Division team, Celta have performed well in the First Division this season and are currently eighth in the league. Do you feel the pressure when you meet such an opponent? ”
Such a question is simply a naked provocation!
But the problem comes from Harvey. The Mouth of Passos. No one was surprised. Because everyone knows that Passos hates Chang Sheng, and he specializes in working against Chang Sheng.
But Passos doesn't seem to have a long memory...... He has won several provocations, but which one has he won? Every time, he was slapped in the face by Chang Sheng. Is it really M-attributed? Like to be abused?
Many people are waiting for Chang Sheng to smoke Passos's face, since everyone has taken the initiative to come up, you are really sorry for Chang Sheng not to smoke.
Everyone looked at Chang Sheng with sparkling eyes.
Chang Sheng sat on the stage. Looking at Harvey who had "Lao Tzu is here to provoke" written on his face. Passos.
This face is close to his hand, and he can slap him as long as he moves his wrist.
But what a pity...... I can't smoke it this time.
Not only can't I smoke it, but I have to thank Passos......
Because Passos has provided himself with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
This is much more convincing than bringing up the topic directly and abruptly.
So he laughed inwardly. His brow furrowed even tighter.
Seeing his expression, the eyes of many reporters were about to pop out - because such a sad face of Chang Sheng is really something that many people have never seen!
When did Chang Sheng show his troubles in front of people?
Even if I was a firefighting coach last season. Faced with the impossible task of leading Getafe to relegation, everyone did not see the slightest weakness in Chang Sheng. Instead, it blocked the media, provoked Osasuna, the first player in the league, and killed the disobedient players within the team...... Everything is done with a lot of toughness.
In the stunned expressions of everyone, Chang Sheng finally spoke.
His voice was low, and he didn't sound very emotional.
"We met Celta de Vigo in the second round of the Copa del Rey...... Our luck was really bad...... I don't want to lie, it's easy to say something nice. However, the difference in strength between the two sides cannot be bridged by a few harsh words......"
Now even Harvey. Passos was stunned, let alone the others.
The audience was in an uproar.
All the journalists thought they had seen a hell.
In their lifetimes, they actually heard Chang Sheng take the initiative to show weakness!
Damn it!
Is the end of the world really coming?!
The reporters in the press hall seemed to have been collectively caught up in the petrification magic, and they were all stunned, unresponsive to Chang Sheng's words.
Only press officer Alberto. Garcia turned his head strangely and glanced at Chang Sheng. Passos ignored the provocation and did not fight back, but was surprised by the way.
No, or rather...... Shock is more appropriate.
Was this really the kind of Changsheng he knew?
In the eerie silence, Chang Sheng's words were particularly clear in the hall.
"Even though we're playing at home...... But that doesn't mean we have any advantage...... I think that in this Copa del Rey match, Getafe should be more with a learning mentality and learn from the first division teams. Getafe's main focus this season is still in the league......"
But no one cares about his words anymore, they only know that Chang Sheng is showing weakness for the time being!
Compared to this big news, Getafe's Copa del Rey match against Celta Vigo is still a bird?!
