Chapter 148 Preparing for the King's Cup

For Chang Sheng, the Christmas holiday passed so quickly that he felt that there was not enough time.

The same goes for the Christmas break for the players.

Needless to say, the former thinks that there is too little time for him to do his homework, while the latter thinks that happy days are always so short.

In a blink of an eye, it was January 1st, on the first day of the new year, the whole team assembled and started training.

After three days of preparation for the second round of the Copa del Rey against Celta.

Chang Sheng was satisfied with the results of the physical examination. Every player listened to what he said before the holiday. They did not fool around during the holiday, but maintained a good physical condition.

After receiving the medical report, Chang Sheng was satisfied with the self-discipline of the players: "That's right, guys! You are better than I imagined! I thought I had to kill a few of them to wake you up, now Okay. In fact, I don’t want to be a villain all the time, as you all know.”

Then he started telling the players how important the game three days later was.

"Celta Vigo is a La Liga team. But so what? That's all. The Copa del Rey is a hotbed of underdogs, and anything can happen. Big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona can be lowered than we can be. Why can't we try to knock out Celta?"

Some of the players showed a surprised expression and were caught by the long body.

He pointed at the surprised Barado and Kaiku: "Yes, that's right, that's the expression! I believe that there are actually more people who are surprised, but they don't show it on their faces! No. Don't hide Don't hide, don't be afraid, I'm not blaming you guys... actually you're acting normal. But we're a dysfunctional team. I'm a dysfunctional person, so some things don't work out as normal Think about me. Our opponents are very strong. So few people think that we can beat them. This is normal. But if everything is within the normal range, how boring the world would be. Because there are no surprises at all . If we can beat Celta, what a surprise it will be?"

"You have to remember that in a football game, the goal is to pursue victory. No matter who the opponent is or what the situation is, victory is our highest and only goal. This game is no exception. All our efforts are aimed at achieving this goal. It is a pity that there is too little time. So you will work very hard these three days, but I think when you eliminate the La Liga team and advance to the next round, you will feel that all the hard work you have put in now is worthwhile Worth it! Because. Winning, it's really, really fun! So much fun that you could give anything for it!"

The training on the first day of the new year started with Chang Sheng's impassioned speech,

The struggles of the final half of the season also began.

※※※

Beating a Division I team takes more than just saying nice words.

Naturally, training must be done well. But this is the foundation, if only relying on this, it is still not enough.

A football game is a war in peacetime, and it turned out to be a war. Then we must pay attention to strategy.

Take it by surprise and attack it by surprise.

If the two sides fight hard. Chang Sheng felt that he might not be able to get a bargain.

Celta currently ranks eighth in La Liga, which can be regarded as an upper-middle strength.

If Celta go all out. I'm afraid that I will die miserably...

Although losing to such a strong team is not a shame, let alone a failure.

But Chang Sheng didn't want to just admit defeat.

If he is Don Quixote, then Celta is a windmill.

He wanted to challenge the windmill, which seemed stupid to outsiders. But as long as the method is obtained, it is not necessarily stupid.

If it really rushed over, it would definitely be thrown into the sky by the windmill in the end.

But what if it is digging the corner of the windmill?

Therefore, the struggle must pay attention to strategy, and being passionate does not mean that the brain is weak.

Chang Sheng began to plan to poach Celta's corner.

On the first day of training, journalists gathered in Las Margarita Sports City to watch Getafe's training - although it was only 15 minutes of public time.

But it also attracted a lot of journalists.

Getafe's performance before the winter break surprised everyone. Before, they looked at Getafe with old eyes, thinking that this team from the suburbs of Madrid is a big fish, and it would be good to be able to avoid relegation this season.

No one dares to look at it like this now. Even the "Marca" newspaper has to pay more attention to Getafe.

After all, readers want to know all the news about Getafe, and there are many readers who think so, and the "Marca" newspaper cannot go against public opinion.

After training, the Getafe club held its first routine press conference of the new year.

Chang Sheng appeared in front of everyone.

The King's Cup three days later is naturally the most concerned.

The topic also revolves around this.

The reporters were all used to seeing Chang Sheng's expressionless face, but they didn't expect that Chang Sheng, who appeared at the press conference, seemed not in a good mood.

This is the first day of training in the new year, and the mood is not high. What could be the reason?

Something went wrong with the team?

That was the only question the reporters could think of.

Those reporters who were already unhappy watching Chang Sheng suddenly became excited.

But the local reporters in Getafe looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.

No one knows what Chang Sheng is going on. Even the reporter of the "Getafe Local Life" newspaper who was closest to Chang Sheng was 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 to ask questions was Harvey Passos, a reporter from the "Marca" newspaper and Chang Sheng's deadly enemy.

He was a little proud when he stood up, because he had been dealing with Chang Sheng for more than half a year, and it was the first time he would frown when he saw Chang Sheng, and he looked not in a high mood.

Chang Sheng, who appeared in front of his eyes before, was always high-spirited, with his head held high. Those nostrils look at people. A look of arrogance that the whole world is trampled under his feet.

To be honest, the first part of the reason Harvey Passos and Chang Sheng are against each other is because of Chang Sheng's expression, which makes him, the uncrowned king, always feel that he is being looked down upon by the other party in front of Chang Sheng.

Journalist working for the largest and most influential newspaper in Spain. Harvey Passos will naturally feel that his influence is also the greatest.

Usually, anyone who hears that he is a reporter for the "Marca" newspaper will look at him with respect without even asking him what kind of news he is in charge of.

He enjoyed this look.

But Chang Sheng never did this, the way he looked at Passos would always make Passos feel cold all over.

He hates this feeling.

That's why he kept making troubles for Chang Sheng, just wanting Chang Sheng to look at himself with the attitude and eyes that others should have.

Now, he finally saw his hope of victory.

He stood up triumphantly. Then ask: "You met a first-tier team in the second round of the King's Cup. Celta has performed brilliantly in the first division this season and is currently ranked eighth in the league. May I ask if you feel such an opponent? pressure?"

Such a question is simply a naked provocation!

But this question came from the mouth of Harvey Passos. No one was surprised. Because everyone knows that Passos hates Chang Sheng, and he specifically fights against Chang Sheng.

But Passos doesn't seem to have a long memory... He has won several challenges, but which one did he win? Every time he was slapped in the face by Chang Sheng. Could it really be of the M attribute? Like to be abused?

Many people are waiting for Chang Sheng to slap Passos in the face. Since they have taken the initiative to come forward, you are really sorry for Chang Sheng not to slap him.

Everyone looked at Chang Sheng with sparkling eyes.

※※※

Chang Sheng sat on the table. Look at that Harvey Passos with "I'm here to provoke" written on his face.

This face was close to his hand, and he could slap him as long as he moved his wrist.

But it's a pity... I can't smoke this time.

Not only can I not smoke, I have to thank Passos...

Because Passos provided himself with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

This is much more convincing than bringing up this topic directly and abruptly.

So he laughed in his heart. On his face, he frowned even tighter.

Seeing his expression, the eyes of many reporters almost popped out - because many people have never seen such a sad Chang Sheng!

When did Chang Sheng show his troubles in front of others?

Even as a firefighting coach last season. When faced with the impossible task of leading Getafe to relegation, everyone did not see the slightest weakness from Chang Sheng. Instead, they blocked the media, challenged Osasuna, the number one in the league, and killed disobedient players within the team...everything was done extremely tough.

Amidst the stunned expressions of everyone, Chang Sheng finally spoke.

His voice was low and he sounded not in a good mood.

"We met Celta Vigo in the second round of the King's Cup... Our luck is really bad... I don't want to lie, it is easy to say something beautiful. But the difference in strength between the two sides is not just a few harsh words. make up for..."

Now even Harvey Passos was stunned, let alone the others.

The audience was in an uproar.

All the reporters thought they had seen a ghost.

In their lifetime, they even heard Chang Sheng take the initiative to show weakness!

damn it!

Is the end of the world really coming? !

The reporters in the news hall seemed to have been under the petrification magic collectively, and they were all dumbfounded, and did not respond to Chang Sheng's words.

Only the press officer Alberto Garcia turned his head and looked at Chang Sheng strangely. He was surprised that Chang Sheng turned a blind eye to Harvey Passos' provocation and did not fight back. Instead, he went along with it.

No, or... Shock would be more appropriate.

Is this really the Chang Sheng he knew?

In the eerie silence, Chang Sheng's words were very clear in the hall.

"Although we are playing at home...it doesn't mean we have any advantages...I think that in this Copa del Rey game, Getafe should learn more from the first-tier teams with a learning attitude. The main energy of Getafe this season is still in the league..."

But no one cares about his words anymore, they only know that Chang Sheng has shown weakness for the first time!

Compared with this big news, Getafe's King's Cup match against Celta at home is still a bird? !
