Chapter 196: It's a matter of attitude, and it has nothing to do with ability
The meeting was unexpected, but not awkward. Enrique. Gonzalez doesn't think he's doing something shady.
So after seeing Chang Sheng, he smiled: "It's you, Chang, then I don't have to look for you......" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, in his opinion, Chang Sheng also belongs to the person who has not received a salary for two months, maybe he has some savings, so now life is fine, but how can he donate money?
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng grabbed him: "What are you doing here?" โ
"As you can see, often, we're collecting donations!"
"I know, but why are you ......?"
Enrique. Gonzalez puffed out his chest proudly: "Getafe is in trouble, and as her fans, we can't stay out of it, we have to do something." The players have not been paid for two months and it looks like they will continue to be paid. We're just a bunch of regular fans, not millionaires, so we can only use this street fundraising to help the team...... We hope that the money raised can be used to solve the team's immediate needs. โ
Chang Sheng looked at Enrique in a daze, and then he turned his head to look at Enrique's companions.
He then noticed that at the door of the bar, there was a person standing there with a donation box, and the others were in charge of soliciting donations, as long as someone entered or left the bar, they would solicit donations.
Then some of them will take out their pockets and give generously.
"Sir, sir, are you a Getafe fan? As a Getafe fan, can you bear to watch the team sink step by step? Although none of us is a monopoly, the power of each of us is united. It's sure to work wonders! Because I love Getafe! We are willing to give everything for her......"
The sound of this is endless.
Among those who persuaded them were young teenagers, middle-aged people, and even older people.
They wore uniform Getafe fan attire and were clearly organised.
Chang Sheng asked Enrique: "How many of you are doing this?" โ
Enrique is particularly proud: "All of us! Everyone in our Deep Blue fan organization is on the streets to raise donations, and we're just a small team! โ
Chang Sheng looked at the other party like this, and he couldn't bear to pour cold water, but some words were like a fish in his throat. He didn't feel comfortable without saying it, so he asked: "But do you know how much all the players are paid?" It's up to you to raise money for one dollar, five dollars on the streets. When will I be able to scrape together enough money? Maybe before you can get enough, the club is finished......"
Enrique, however, was not discouraged, but became more proud: "Love is no small or small. This is our heart. I know we can't save this team. But at least we can contribute what we can, it's a matter of attitude, not ability! โ
Chang Sheng was silent this time, chewing on every word Enrique said to himself.
It's a matter of attitude, not about ability.
Enrique. Gonzalez saw that Chang Sheng was silent, so he waved goodbye, and he was busy trying to find someone else to persuade him to donate.
But Chang Sheng stopped him again.
"Wait." As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his clothes, pulled out two of them, and stuffed them into the stunned Enrique. Gonzalez in his hands.
"Like you, I don't want to see Getafe end up like this."
Enrique struggled desperately. Don't want to make Chang Sheng's money: "This can't work, you yourself are a victim of unpaid wages, we can't make you donate!" โ
Chang Sheng would not let him get his wish, he locked the money tightly in Enrique's hand, looked at him and said, "It's a matter of attitude." It's not about ability, Kik. Whether or not I have the ability to help the team is not the same thing as whether I want to help the team or not. Go ahead, go put the money in the donation box, and come back, I have something to look for you. โ
Enrique finally didn't struggle anymore. Obediently stuffed the money given by Chang Sheng into the donation box.
The companion holding the donation box had good eyesight, and when he saw that it turned out to be two bills worth one hundred euros, he whistled excitedly: "Kik! You're in luck! Found a big deal? โ
Two hundred euros at a time, which is the largest single donation they have received since the fundraising.
Enrique helplessly pointed to the position behind him: "The person who donated is Chang!" โ
The companion was also stunned.
"The head coach of Getafe?" He asked.
"Who else could it be?"
After stuffing the money in, Enrique returned to Chang Sheng's body, while his companion's eyes followed his back, and finally landed on Chang Sheng in the shadows, squinting his eyes to take a closer look...... What a manager of Getafe, a hero of the city!
That Chinese always wins!
When Enrique went to deliver the money, Chang Sheng was thinking about something.
Coming from the pitch, along the way, he was thinking about how to motivate the players.
Because he has training skills, the team's training effect is actually good, the attributes of the players have not declined because of the past two months, and he has been emphasizing the need to work hard in training, so it has remained at a level so far. So if you want to fight back, the ability of the players is not a problem.
The problem is their morale and mental state, as well as injuries.
Injuries aside, it's not something that can be decided by a regular win.
The key is morale and mental state.
You can't do that with training.
During this time, through the scanning of the golden pupil, Chang Sheng has discovered that many players' mental attributes have declined to varying degrees.
He knows that this is the impact of the economic crisis and the losing streak that has spread to the mental level of the players.
It is impossible to improve the spirit through training, and it can only be solved by other means.
But Chang Sheng didn't have a clue and didn't know what best way to use.
It wasn't until he saw the group of fans who were raising money on the streets for the team, and heard their words of persuasion, that a bold idea popped into his head.
Maybe you can let these ordinary fans stimulate the players.
When Enrique returned. Chang Sheng smiled and asked him, "Kik, would you and your companions be willing to get up close and personal with the players of Getafe?" โ
Enrique was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chang Sheng to find himself for this thing, and then he nodded vigorously: "Yes!" Willing! Absolutely! โ
They are already Getafe fans, and being able to get up close and personal with the players is tantamount to chasing stars, such a good thing. Why not?
Even if the team could collapse at any time, it didn't prevent them from chasing the star before they were finished.
Chang Sheng saw that they all agreed, and he seemed very happy: "Then it's decided." The day after tomorrow, when the team starts training, you come to the training base to find me, and I will take you in. Let's get you up close and personal with those kids. โ
After speaking. Chang Sheng turned to leave, he didn't want to go to supper anymore.
His mind is now full of how to use this opportunity to give the players the most shocking blow, directly shaking their hearts that have become numb or messed up.
He didn't have the heart to eat any supper.
That evening, the most responsive television media reported what had happened at the press conference after the match between Getafe and Sporting Gijรณn.
Through the lens of the camera, the confrontation between Chang Sheng and the reporters was faithfully restored.
On the screen, Chang Sheng's figure stood tall and said aloud to a group of reporters in the audience: "In the face of concrete actions, language is pale and powerless...... In the next round of the league, our opponents are Sevilla. Now we have to go first in the league. I'm going to use this win to prove our ability, don't think I'm talking big, I'll do what I say! โ
"Also, I was going to get promoted this season even if I completed the mission, but now I've changed my mind." He glanced at the reporters. Then focus on the camera. "Now it seems that I still have to win this league!"
After this footage, cut back to the studio.
The host smiled at the two invited guests: "This is Chang's 'Championship Appointment'." What do you two think? โ
The first guest shook his head with a smile, the smile on his face full of disdain: "League champion? No way! Although he also led the team to relegation after being forced to a dead end last season. But I think it was different last season and this season. Last season's situation was still within his control, and the problems that Getafe have encountered this season are clearly not something that he can solve as a manager. So I think he's just a dead duck with a hard mouth, unwilling to throw in the towel in front of the media. โ
The second guest was also not optimistic about the winning "Championship Covenant", he frowned and said: "Actually, he is often too his team, if he relaxes his mind, he will not push himself so embarrassed." Because think about it, last season's Getafe were only relegation teams, but this season? They rushed to the top of the league at one point, even if they lost promotion due to the club's financial crisis, so what? They're still in the second division and not having to struggle with relegation like they did last season, which is a great improvement.
He shouldn't have been criticized for such a good result, but his tough personality has made him too many enemies, which is really unwise...... Why not take it easy, give yourself a loose space, and take a step back to open the sky? I don't think he needs to put too much pressure on his team in the next league because his players have done a good enough job and now that they are in trouble like this, no one wants to, no one can do anything about it......
These two guests actually represent the opinion of most of the media.
This view is also held by the reporters who were working all night in the newspaper office, and their respective articles were filled with a lot of words similar to those of the two guests.
In a word, the media is hardly optimistic that Chang Sheng will win the league title in the next 14 rounds of the league and then slap them in the face.
The reason is very simple, Getafe's problems are beyond human power, and the goal of the league title is too scary, and the current league first Sevilla is not taken into account at all.
If you want to win the league title, why don't you ask Sevilla if they say yes first? It just so happens that the next round of the league is at home to Sevilla, let's see how Sevilla answers your questions!
Even the Getafe fans who watched the TV felt that the "championship covenant" of the regular victory was not a chance to be completed.
Although there are still 14 rounds left in the league, it may not take 10 rounds at all for Getafe to collapse.
So what is the point of the so-called "Covenant of Champions"?
They admire and like to win, and that's why they're sadder.
Watch their favorite city heroes challenge an enemy they are doomed to win, and there's nothing they can do but watch the tragedy unfold......
Double the heartache.
