Chapter 177: After this game, there is still Getafe in Madrid
The president of Atlético de Madrid, Jesús. Although Hill is riddled with lawsuits and scandals, he is the focus of media attention wherever he goes.
The attention of the media can only show that this is a famous person, but it does not mean that this is a good person at all.
According to the custom of Spanish football, before each match, the presidents of the clubs on both sides of the match have a meal together to show "our friendship first, the game second".
Generally speaking, this meal does embody such a spirit.
As the president of the club, everyone is an adult, and they are all old adults, and they will not show any ideas, and they are kind on the surface. And it's just one game, maybe it's very important for the players, the coaches, the fans, but for the long-term president of the club, that's what happened.
They are more interested in their interests, and the relationship between the two clubs is not as simple as fans think, usually it seems to be hostile, and maybe there are a lot of partnerships. Just like the Milan duo, AC Milan and Inter Milan, although they are bitter enemies in the same city, there are also a lot of exchanges and cooperation between the two sides, such as the transfer of players between their two teams.
It can be said that the rivalry between the two teams is more of a rivalry between the fans than between the clubs.
So the two club presidents sat down to eat, and the atmosphere was very congenial, as if they were really good friends.
Even the club presidents of Real Madrid and Barcelona sat down to dine together, and it was not as tense as outsiders imagined.
But there are exceptions.
Once again, Jesús has been proven by the facts. Just how annoying Hill really is.
Even if the elder Hill called Chang Win a nobody before the game, it was not worth mentioning, the president of the club, Francisco Gertafe. Flores, too, invited Old Hill to lunch out of courtesy.
This would have been a good opportunity to ease relations.
Of course, it's also conventional.
Just like in English football, after a game, the head coach of the home team invites the head coach of the away team to his coaching office for a drink.
In Spain, the president of the club treats guests to dinner.
Such an ordinary and well-intentioned act deserves Jesus. Hill's kind response.
But that's not the case.
Jesús. Once again, Hill showed his unruly and unpredictable side.
He directly rejected Flores' offer!
On the grounds of poor health, I pushed down this invitation to dinner!
Being rejected like this is simply a naked slap in the face......
It's clear that they look down on a hillbilly team like Getafe.
The news was soon known to the media, but it was already close to the game, so it had not had time to spread, and it was only circulated among reporters.
But this matter has been remembered by the reporters, and everyone thinks that this is a good gimmick for this game, and no matter what the result of the game is, this matter must be written about in a big way!
※※※
Chang Sheng led the team from Las Margarita to Alfonso. At Perez Stadium, a lot of fans gathered along the way, and the police and security stopped them all outside, making a way for the team.
He has seen a lot of this scene. But there seem to be a lot of people today.
He was thinking about Alfonso, who could hold 18,000 people. I don't know if Perez Stadium can fit so many people......
As soon as I walked into the passage of the court, the noise outside was a little quieter, and the pressure on my ears was lighter.
At this moment, the mobile phone on his body rang.
When I pulled it out, I found that it was the phone number of Flores, the president of the club.
He found it strange that Flores rarely called him at this time before the game, and if there was anything, he said it the day before the game.
Strange and strange, he still picked it up: "Mr. President? ”
"Chang, are you on the court now?" Flores asked on the other end of the phone.
Because it was still a little noisy, Chang Sheng lowered his head and walked to a secluded whereabouts to talk to the chairman on the phone.
'Yes, I just scored and was getting ready to go to the dressing room.
"I have a question. How likely are we to beat Atletico Madrid today? ”
Winning is even more bizarre, Flores rarely asks such a question, on the one hand he does not interfere in the internal affairs of the team, and on the other hand, the question is too stupid. Before the game, who knows what the winner will be?
"I don't know how likely it is, but I'm going to beat them." Chang Sheng replied honestly.
Flores on the other end of the phone laughed: "I just want to hear you say such unreasonable things with confidence!" Ha! ”
Chang Sheng keenly captured other information: "Is something wrong, Mr. President?" ”
"No, nothing. In a short period of time, I will cheer for you on the rostrum, do a good job! ”
After a few words of concern, Flores hung up the phone.
Chang Sheng found it strange.
Although Mr. Chairman said that it was nothing, he felt that something must have happened just now......
But what does this have to do with you?
Chang Sheng shook his head.
No matter what happens, one thing will not change, and that is that I must lead the team to defeat Atletico Madrid.
It has nothing to do with what happened, it was something he had decided a long time ago.

In Alfonso. In the home team's locker room at Perez Stadium, there is also a blackboard, which is where the teams usually make tactical arrangements.
Today, there is still an enlarged newspaper clip on it.
Above is the pre-match press conference with Atletico Madrid coach Marcos. Alonso's remarks.
"Getafe is not worth mentioning!"
The media malintently amplified Marcos. Alonso's remarks, and then made public. For Marcos. It's not a good thing for Alonso, and it's not a good thing for Getafe.
However, it was used by Chang Shengli and turned into an incentive for the players.
Every Getafe player who entered the dressing room saw the paper, along with the bold bold black headline on it.
But they didn't go around it, because they knew about it through various means last night.
The presence of this newspaper only reminds them that they have turned over their memories of last night, and then makes their hearts burn with more anger and less fear of Atletico Madrid.
If it weren't for this game, many Getafe players might not have imagined that the big brother of the Madrid area, Atletico Madrid, who is usually high up and can only make them look up, is just a dog that has fallen into the quagmire and struggled to get up.
It's no different from them...... No, it's not as good as them!
Everyone is a dog, but Getafe has already come ashore, and Atletico Madrid is still struggling in the mud, covered in mud. In this way, he looked at Getafe, who had already landed, with a condescending look in the mud pit.
The Getafe players really don't understand where Atletico Madrid's sense of superiority comes from.
As a result, they have a lower opinion of Atletico Madrid.
After changing their clothes, the Getafe players went out to warm up.
By the time they returned, the big-character poster in the locker room was gone.
The blackboard is full of tactical points for the game. For example, when attacking, both wings should fly together, and the two wingers should frequently cross and change positions. When defending, pay attention to the opponent's center Kiko, and when defending on the wing, watch out for the opponent's full-back Roberto. The backline should pay attention to maintaining the overall formation, being clear about their defensive zone and the work to be done in the defensive zone.
It was densely written all over the blackboard, and it didn't even draw the starting lineup on Getafe's side.
In the pre-game warm-up, Chang Sheng didn't go out, so he kept doing this work in the locker room. After he finished writing, he threw away the chalk and patted the dust on his hands, and the chalk ash rose and was quickly blown away by the indoor heater and air conditioner.
Although Chang Sheng has always said that he can beat Atletico Madrid, he has not fallen behind in the preparation that should be done.
From these dense tactical points, you can see what kind of effort Chang Sheng and his coaching staff have made to win this game.
Although Chang Sheng is good at mouth cannons, mouth cannons must also be supported by practical actions, otherwise they are really just mouth cannons.
※※※
When the players were all warmed up, they went back to the dressing room.
They saw the dense handwriting on the blackboard, but Chang Sheng, who wrote it, was gone.
At this time, there were only more than twenty minutes left before the start of the game.
Everyone thought that Chang Win would definitely use an impassioned speech to boost the morale of the players.
After all, they are also aware of the grievances between him and Atletico Madrid.
Isn't he angry in the face of such an enemy?
Doesn't he have a lot of things to say in his heart?
But that didn't happen, and the players in the dressing room chatted as they waited for their manager.
But what they were waiting for did not happen.
It wasn't until 10 minutes before the start of the game that Chang Sheng pushed the door in.
Seeing the players who had already changed into their game jerseys, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Then he began to speak.
"Before today's game, people only knew that Madrid had Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. But I'm going to tell you that after today's game, people will know that in addition to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, the Madrid region also has Getafe! ”
With that, he looked at the players.
There are not many words, and the tone is not impassioned.
But whether it's Rudy. Gonzalez or Manuel. Garcia, or the rest of the coaching staff, was surprised to see that the expressions of the Getafe players were changing.
After hearing these words, the expressions of the Getafe players are becoming frenzied!
Because Chang Sheng used two simple sentences to describe a great future for them!
From now on, Getafe will no longer be a nobody in the Madrid region! They are also not disparagingly called "hillbillies", or "the team of the suburbs of Madrid".
As long as they can beat Atletico Madrid!
They can be called the fourth pole of the Madrid region!
In fact, there is no shortage of teams in the Madrid region, for example, Leganes, who is also in the second division, is a team in the Madrid region, and like Getafe, it is a team located in the satellite city of Leganés in Madrid.
But no one ever considered them to be Madrid's team because they didn't have a good reputation. A lot of people don't even know where Leganés is.
This was the case before that, and not many people would want to think of them as Madrid's team, and to say that they were a suburban team in Madrid would be to praise Getafe.
Until they became the first in the second division, more and more people began to value them and face them squarely.
But that wasn't enough, they lacked a game that could really prove them.
Now, here comes the game.
If they can beat Atletico Madrid, then from now on, there will be no one who will not look at them properly.
The future drawn by Chang Sheng is big, but it is attractive enough.
To be able to speak directly to a big brother like Atletico Madrid, who was previously only able to look up, and beat them, is Getafe still a nobody?
Like a hillbilly desperate to break into high society, this match offers such an opportunity for hillbillies on the outskirts of Madrid.
The desire to squeeze into high society and prove his utilitarianism is Getafe's greatest motivation.
And Chang Sheng's keen gap has reached this point, and has successfully ignited the fire in their hearts - he doesn't think that utilitarianism is a bad thing, for professional football, there is nothing better than utilitarianism, because utilitarianism is the source of motivation for a professional player to keep improving, train hard and play seriously. Anyone wants to be successful, anyone wants to make more money and become more famous, but in football, money and fame don't fall out of thin air and hit your head. So in order to achieve this goal, you have to train hard, play hard, and face every challenge bravely, if you can't do it, you can't succeed!
Once the flame burned, it could never be extinguished again when it was blown by the wind, and the raging flame burned and spread in everyone's heart, and soon became one. That scorching breath, Rudy. Gonzalez and the others felt it clearly......
