Chapter 144: Year-end Summary
Without anyone knowing, Chang Sheng is more than just a football coach, he has a company called "Winner" under his name, although this company currently has nothing, not even an employee, but all the procedures are complete, if someone checks, there will be no flaws.
After the company was registered, it was put there, and Chang Sheng didn't say what he was going to do with it.
Kate. Gracie didn't ask either. He thought that since Chang Sheng asked him to register, then he naturally had a reason.
Chang Sheng's own life has not changed in any way because of the registration of a company in an Atlantic island country.
He didn't even think of himself as the legal representative of a company at all.
He also wants to go to Las Margarita Stadium every day to train the team and prepare for the game, as usual.
The 18th round of the league on December 21 was the last La Liga match of 2000.
After this game, the team will also take a break and enter a short winter break.
It won't be until January 1 that the team will regroup for the second round of the Copa del Rey on January 4, where they face Celta Vigo, a La Liga side.
This week, Chang Sheng has been very busy. In addition to training the team, he also has to find time to sign endorsement contracts with those businesses, and then attend various endorsement events and give interviews.
However, it didn't delay the team's training.
In fact, even if he doesn't win, the team's training effect is guaranteed, because the training skills he uses are very powerful.
But of course he didn't dare not go. Football is the foundation of everything he does, and without football success, he is nothing, perhaps worse than ordinary people.
This is very clear. So no matter how busy he is, he doesn't dare to relax his requirements for team training and dare not slack off.
He used to educate José. Passarella and Carlos. The two young men of Campo are going to take their profession seriously, and of course he has to lead by example.
In the 18th round of the league, Getafe defeated Real Betis, a relegated team in La Liga last season, 2-1 after a hard-fought battle at home.
It's not easy to win this game, so much so that I don't care if I want to win beautifully, as long as I can win.
In the end, he narrowly defeated his opponent. The year 2000 ended perfectly.
After this game, Getafe now have 47 points this season, compared to 49 last season.
This season hasn't been over yet. Getafe, led by Chang Sheng, is already just two points away.
Relegation is definitely no problem.
Now everyone is wondering what status Getafe will be promoted this season......
Is it the top three in the league, or is it ...... League champions?
If Getafe were in charge of the team in their first full season, they would have been able to lead the team to the title...... Isn't that too strong?
It was immediately after this match that the newspaper Getafe Local Life launched a special issue.
This eight-page special issue takes Getafe fans back to the moment from his appearance at Getafe FC to the present.
From the first day of Getafe's tenure as the head coach of the C team, he had a big fight with the "genius" Gorka, against the fans and media throughout Getafe. It was reviewed until the end of this round of the league.
Let everyone know about a comprehensive win.
He has conquered the whole of Getafe from being unpopular at the beginning, to now having a large group of people asking for autographs and possessions everywhere he goes.
This can be seen from the fact that the newspaper "Local Life in Getafe" has launched such a special issue at the end of the year.
There have been many managers at Getafe, but none have been able to enjoy such treatment.
"We're glad. It is possible to witness the rise of a talented coach in this era, and at the same time, you can also have the privilege of witnessing the birth of a maverick figure. I don't know a few years later. Whether there will be a manager with such a strong personality in world football may be the only one. And we are all witnesses to the beginning of this legend. We are so blessed. That's why the newspaper "Local Life in Getafe" has published a special issue of this issue to commemorate and record. Many years later, as you look through this newspaper, you will surely be able to recall with us the heart-wrenching stories that took place in the year 2000......"
The opening speech of the special issue was written by Mediano himself, and at the end of the article, the journalist sighed so affectionately.
The special issue was once again popular with readers because of the detailed records, the brilliant articles of the newspaper's famous pen, and the highlight of the event, Mediano's interview with Chang Sheng, and it quickly sold out.
And the newspaper did not print it because of this. This not only did not affect the enthusiasm of readers and fans, but on the contrary, it made readers even more desperate for the newspaper.
Because of their actions, this special issue is so different and precious.
Such a limited-edition newspaper is naturally more collectible......
The team ended their match at home to Real Betis and the next afternoon the team assembled.
After the assembly, a medical examination was carried out to record the physical condition of each player before the start of the holiday.
At that time, after the holiday, a similar medical examination will definitely be arranged to compare the physical condition of the players after the holiday and before the holiday.
After the medical examination, the players regrouped to listen to Chang Sheng's speech.
Chang Sheng looked back on the past 2000 in front of everyone: "We had a very bad start, because in the first month of the year we left a head coach, two months later we left a second head coach, and then I, a rookie coach, came with huge controversy and doubts. It's almost desperate, how many of you at that time could have imagined that we are now at the top of the league with 47 points? I'm afraid there isn't a single one, right? ”
There was a burst of laughter among the players.
It is true that no one could have imagined this.
At that time, if someone told them that Getafe could finish first in the league in the new season. They must have felt that this man was here to entertain them.
But it all really happened. They started with a relegation winner, first relegated one round earlier, and then rushed to the top of the table from the first round in the new season, when they beat Leganes 4-2 in the ninth round of the league. After becoming the first in the league, nine more rounds have passed, and they have never come down.
It's hard to believe, but it's real, and everyone has experienced the change in the team and themselves.
'Now we're top of the league and I'm happy. I thank all of you. It's the result of hard work and training by each and every one of us. The old year is over, and the new year, my request is simple. Hopefully we can end up with a very good result and get promoted to the First Division. But it's not easy to achieve that, don't think we're top of the league now and we'll be top of the league at the end of the season. I'm sure you've felt the pressure from the last few rounds of the league as well. It's not so easy for us to win the game anymore. Therefore, you and I must continue to work hard and not relax. So this holiday season, I want you to control what you eat. When I come back from vacation, I will give you a medical check-up. When the time comes, let's use the numbers, and whoever is not qualified, I will send me to the bench no matter how good you were in the first half of the season. When will you recover physically, and when will you think about playing again? Remember. I'm definitely not bluffing, you all know who I am. I do what I say! ”
The players, who were still full of various expectations for the holiday, suddenly felt that they had been poured cold water on their heads when they heard this......
It seems that this holiday, they can't play wildly, and the sea eats the sea.
The majesty of the head coach is obviously greater than the temptation of good food, and many people suddenly lose that mind.
Chang Sheng said a few words hoping everyone had a good time and a Merry Christmas, and then announced that the team was disbanded.
The players went back to the dressing room to change their clothes and get ready to go home.
Chang Sheng said to the coaches who were still on the training ground: "Thank you for your support for more than half a year. ”
He said it very sincerely, because he wanted to thank these colleagues, without them, he would not have been able to do anything as a light commander.
Getafe is where it is today, and it is inseparable from the cooperation and solidarity of everyone to work towards a common goal.
Seeing Chang Sheng look so serious, everyone laughed.
"It's clear that we should be the ones who should say thank you." Manuel is the most popular in the coaching staff. Garcia said with a smile, on behalf of all his colleagues.
"The coaching staff hasn't changed, you're the manager. Getafe is where it is today, and it really depends on you, ever. So it should be us who say thank you. Thank you for giving us such a vibrant and hopeful Getafe. We're a small team, but you showed us the dream of a big team. ”
Manuel. Garcia was also very emotional.
"Next year, we will still be by your side and work towards that goal together!"
He didn't say which target it was, but everyone knew it.
It's about upgrading!
Getafe, a small team that has always been in the satellite city southwest of Madrid, is finally determined to move on to a wider stage.
The team's strength and conditioning coach Juan. Zavala, goalkeeper coach Miguel. Molina, and the team doctor, Ruwen. Rodriguez, as well as assistant coach Rudy. Gonzalez.
Everyone nodded to Chang Sheng.
Looking at them, Chang Sheng smiled.
With such a team, why worry about it?
When Chang Sheng was about to leave the training base, he saw the club's president, Francisco, at the gate. Flores.
Flores was clearly waiting for someone.
Seeing Chang Sheng appear, he waved at Chang Sheng.
When Chang Sheng walked up to him, he smiled and asked Chang Sheng: "Are you free at night, Chang?" ”
Chang Sheng didn't understand what the boss meant, but he still nodded honestly: "I think there is, Mr. Chairman." ”
"Well, come to my house for dinner, it's a private dinner, and I thank you for your work at the Getafe Club for more than a year. How is it? Still smiling, Flores extended the invitation.
Chang Sheng didn't expect Flores to invite him to his house for dinner......
He had known Flores for more than a year and had never invited himself to his home, despite his support at the club.
It seems that my relationship with him is limited to the work level.
Now inviting himself to his family dinner, it seems to mean that the relationship between the two is one step closer.
That's a good thing for me......
After all, being able to get more support and favor from the chairman is also conducive to my work in this team.
So he nodded: "Of course, it's an honor, Mr. President." (To be continued)
