Chapter Ninety-Five: Mission: Win Beauty
In the third round of the league, Getafe hosted Tenerife.
This was the first time Chang Sheng played against the famous coach he would later know.
His previous opponents were people he hadn't heard of.
Tenerife's head coach Rafael Benitez, although not very famous now, will be famous in the future.
In order to meet this opponent, Chang Sheng carefully arranged the preparations, and the preparation work was very meticulous.
Although Benitez is not a big man at this time, he knows Benitez's future achievements, so he is not willing to lose to this future famous coach.
He even wondered if he could beat Benitez, would that mean he would be higher than Benitez in the future?
Tenerife has played two games this season, and the results are not very good, just one win and one loss.
It seems that he dug up Mista and Louis from them. Garcia still had a certain impact on Tenerife. When you vibrate your wings, a butterfly that travels through time and space, it may not affect the future development direction of European football at all, but at least the people and things around you will still be affected to some extent.
Chang Sheng doesn't care about Benitez's future in Tenerife.
He just wants to beat the other side.
Because just after the end of the last race, he received a task: "the first three wins in a row of the season". Ask Chang Sheng to lead the team to the first three wins in a row of the new season, and as a reward, he can earn 30,000 XP points, 200 Fame, and one more.
This looks like a typical side quest.
The rewards are mediocre and have little impact on the future. Even if you fail, there is no punishment.
But it's this kind of task, but it's the main force he relies on to upgrade.
But it backfired. He was not able to lead his side to a home win over Benitez, but Benitez's Tenerife stubbornly held him to a draw on the road.
The task is not completed, and it is still in the task list. It's just that 23, which represents progress, has become 03, which means that Chang Sheng can only continue to work hard and complete this task from scratch.
The final score of the match between Getafe and Tenerife was 0:0.
After a sharp Getafe-style defensive counterattack in the first two games, this game is out of sight.
Although Getafe's backline remained solid and did not concede a goal.
But Chang Sheng had sensed the danger.
Because this match proves the fear of winning permanently, and that is that more and more teams are looking at Getafe. You know, this time they didn't just learn about Getafe through the media, they went to see the footage of Getafe's games, they watched this season's. Also look at last season's.
In fact, the ever-winning Getafe tactics are really not too technical, they are nothing more than holding on and then counterattacking.
If anything, it's different.
That's just that they're tougher defensively and more tactically disciplined than the average team. That's all.
This tactic is not unbreakable. It's easy to break.
When attacking, just leave enough people in the back and don't give them room to counterattack.
It's a big deal that we don't score a goal in a game, but we don't lose the game because we concede a goal.
In fact, Huelva did well last season, carefully withstanding Getafe's counter-attack. It's just that they weren't so lucky and lost to Jose on a corner. Passarella.
This led to the eventual collapse.
This time. Benitez had good luck as their side did not concede points from set-pieces, despite the fact that Jose. Passarella managed to get the ball on the ball, but the most threatening one slid out of the net.
Many people were shocked into a cold sweat.
The narrator, Claispo, shouted that Getafe was unlucky.
Benitez, who had been lucky, had equalized the unlucky Chang Win in this way.
Chang Sheng fears that this countermeasure will be defended by all teams. Getafe is about to face an even more dire situation.
Because of a draw, all teams are tied. Getafe is also flat.
But if every game is a draw, then Getafe can't stand it.
He's going to be upgraded. Even if you end up unbeaten in 42 rounds, so what? It's just forty-six points, and it's hard to say whether forty-six points can even be relegated, let alone upgraded.
So now it's not just because the fans want it, he's going to change.
In order to survive, he also has to change.
After the game, a group of media outlets, led by the newspaper Marca, finally seized the opportunity and slammed and ridiculed the winning draw.
It makes people think that Getafe is not a draw, but a loss.
"This is the end of conservative passivity!"
This is said as if Benitez is not conservative, you must know that in order to curb Getafe's counterattack, he did not just leave four defenders in the backfield, he asked as long as Getafe counterattacked, he immediately returned to defense, so Tenerife's players could not press at all, and in the end the two teams simply "looked at each other". Therefore, if you want to be conservative, it is definitely not a person who is always victorious.
It's a pity that the media doesn't care about this.
Others have hyped up this coping strategy.
As if they were afraid that other teams would not know how to deal with the winning Getafe, they changed their tricks to tell everyone that it was actually very simple to deal with Getafe's defensive counterattack.
That's ......
"Be more patient than they are! What is a draw in a game? As long as everyone does this, Getafe will be a draw in every game! An undefeated 'undefeated myth' sounds cool, right? But if it's all a draw, it's an 'undefeated joke'! ”
The performance of these media outlets has left many people wondering why they have such a big hatred for Getafe......
Although there are local media in Getafe who speak for Chang Sheng, give Getafe a counterattack.
However, they are completely incomparable to big newspapers like Marca in terms of influence and sales, so their counterattack seems to be weak and cannot affect others at all.
In the end, even the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Local Life in Getafe", Carlos Murphy. The Medianos all came out of town to explain to Chang Sheng that they did their best. But there's really no way to compete with the "Marca" newspaper.
However, he also said that the local media in Getafe will stand firmly behind the victories.
In this big debate about the tactical value orientation of football set off by the newspaper Marca, their local media will certainly not betray the winner.
But that's all they can do.
Because they can influence very few people, and they can do very little.
Just when Changsheng himself was struggling with how to win the beauty. He found that he had one more task in his mission log.
Mission: Win the Beauty!
Mission content: There is some truth to the criticism and attacks of the media, and the fans have never been patient creatures, so maybe they won't be satisfied with just winning anytime soon. So you have to figure out how to win as soon as possible and win beautifully. It's not something that can be done in one or two games, and it's not something that can be done with a beautiful game. You need to carefully find a sustainable path that will allow the team to win consistently.
Objective: Win five matches in a row.
Reward: 50,000 XP.
Fifty energy.
Five hundred prestige.
Look at the quest descriptions, especially the 50,000 XP points awarded. Chang Sheng smiled bitterly.
It seems that he really wants to overcome this difficulty, the needs of the fans, the cynicism of the media, and now there is another requirement for the task system.
I already have 400,070,000 experience now, and I need 500,000 experience to advance to the second-level system.
If you can accomplish this task yourself. Add to that the task of "winning the first three in a row of the season", and it will be 80,000 experience points at once!
Combined with the experience gained by winning matches in the process of completing missions, you can properly upgrade to level 2.
And at the second level, you can get training skills that can improve your attributes.
When the time comes, Louis. Garcia's stats can be improved!
Hey. Wait a minute......
Speaking of Louis. Garcia, Chang Sheng's mind suddenly flashed!
Perhaps?
The campaign of denunciation of the conservative tactics of winning by the newspaper Marca started as a spark, but now it has the potential to ignite the prairie fire. More and more media are joining the mix.
It's not about currying favor with the Marca. It's because it's the nature of the Spaniards, and the reverence for offense and flamboyance is in their blood.
There are already many people who look down on this set of tactics that always wins.
Marca newspaper published articles after two consecutive games criticizing the winning tactics. It also makes them feel that they have reinforcements, and there is a saying called "gathering crowds to make trouble". If you don't get together, how can you be so bold?
Someone agrees with them. Naturally, they have all the more reason to express their disdain for Chang Sheng.
There are more and more media outlets that criticize Chang Sheng, and their influence is growing.
This issue is also being discussed within Getafe.
However, they are not discussing whether the current tactics are conservative or not, they are complaining about their own manager.
A 28-year-old manager with only 10 games of experience in leading the team to relegation has led the team to a full season for the first time.
As a result, the first three rounds were unbeaten, with two wins and one draw.
Third in the league with seven points.
What an achievement!
If it were to be replaced by other coaches, with such results, they would definitely be blown into famous coaches by the media.
Why is it that when it comes to our coach, he is so unpopular?
He was scolded for winning a game, he was scolded for a draw, and he was scolded for finishing third in the league.
It's so unfair!
But they also know what style the Spanish fans have.
So they also have to admit that the media says that the future will happen. That is, once the Getafe fans think they deserve to win again and win again, the coach may really be in crisis.
But what can they do about it?
It's not a player-level thing at all.
No matter how hard they try, they can't make the game look better.
Because they all play in a tactical framework, they have to adapt to the tactical framework, what the tactics look like, no matter how well they play, that's what it is.
And the issue of tactics has never been something that those of them as players should think about, or can consider.
In the dressing room before training, everyone was talking about it and thinking about how to make the team's game look good.
Carlos. Campo was worried: "I think the boss is really in a big problem this time...... I don't think it's up to us to play the kind of football like the one Marca says......"
Jose. Passarella's face was calm: "I believe in the boss. ”
Carlos. Campo was anxious when he saw him like this: "What do you believe, do you believe it?" Do you believe that there must be a basis! Now the problem is not something you can solve by believing him! That's how we played, and everybody got used to it. Do you think that's good-looking? Although I like this tactic very much...... But I promise the picky ones won't be satisfied! Do you believe...... Do you believe it, did the boss tell you something? ”
"No, he didn't say anything to me."
"Then do you know what the boss does?"
Passarella shook her head, "I don't know." ”
"Then you believe it?" Carlos. Campo said angrily.
"When he was going to lead us to relegation, a lot of people thought he couldn't do it at all, but he said he would definitely lead the team to relegation. It turns out he did. The Boss always does what he says, so I trust him. After speaking calmly, Passarella glanced at Campo again.
This glance made Campo speechless, and it meant like "You don't even believe the boss, you followed the boss for nothing!" ”
Campo found out that Passarella was like this, as long as it was about the boss, everyone else was in a hurry, but he was very calm, and then said "I believe in the boss", and it was over.
He didn't even know what to say to José, so he just shut up.
At this time, Chang Sheng suddenly appeared at the door of the locker room.
Everyone was quiet.
Chang Sheng glanced into the locker room, then nodded at Luis. Garcia.
"Luis, come to my office, right away." He waved his hand, then turned and walked away. (To be continued)
