Chapter 177 After This Game, Madrid Still Has Getafe

Although Jesús Hill, the chairman of Atlético de Madrid, is involved in lawsuits and scandals, he is always 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 practice of Spanish football, before each game, the club presidents of both sides of the game will have a meal together to show that "our friendship comes first, and the game comes second."

In general, the meal did reflect that spirit.

As the chairman of the club, everyone is an adult, and they are all mature adults. They will not show any thoughts, and they are harmonious on the surface. And it's just a game, maybe it's very important for players, coaches, and fans, but for the club president with a long-term vision, it's the same thing.

They are more concerned with interests. The relationship between the two clubs is not as simple as fans think. It usually looks hostile, and there may be many cooperative relationships. Just like the Milan duo, Milan and Inter Milan, although they are rivals in the same city, there are many exchanges and cooperation between the two sides. For example, there are a lot of player transfers between the two teams.

Arguably, the rivalry between the two teams has been more fan-friendly than club-to-club.

So the two club chairmen sat down to eat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they were really good friends.

Even the club presidents of Real Madrid and Barcelona sat down to eat together, and they were not as tense as outsiders imagined.

But there must be exceptions to everything.

Facts have once again proved just how annoying Jesús Hill is.

Even if Old Hill said before the game that Chang Sheng was an unknown person and not worth mentioning, Getafe's club president Francisco Flores still invited Old Hill to have lunch together out of courtesy.

This is a good opportunity to ease the relationship.

Of course it's customary.

Just like in English football, after the game, the head coach of the home team will invite the head coach of the visiting team to have a drink in his coach's office.

In Spain, the president of the club treats guests to dinner.

Such an ordinary and kind gesture deserves a friendly response from Jesús Hill.

but it is not the truth.

Jesús Hill once again showed his unruly and unpredictable side.

He directly rejected Flores' invitation!

On the grounds of poor health,

Turned down this invitation to dinner!

To be rejected like this is simply a naked slap in the face...

They made it clear that they looked down on a country bumpkin team like Getafe.

This matter was quickly known to the media, but at this time the game was approaching, so it hadn't had time to spread, and it was only circulated among the reporters.

But this matter has been remembered by the reporters, and everyone thinks that this is a good gimmick for this game. No matter what the result of the game is, this matter must be published in a big book!

Chang Sheng led the team from the Las Margarita Sports City to the Alfonso Perez Stadium. Many fans gathered along the way. The police and security guards stopped them all outside to make a way for the team.

He has seen this scene a lot. But there seem to be too many people today.

He was wondering if the Alfonso Perez Stadium, which can hold 18,000 people, can hold so many people...

Just walking into the stadium passage, the noise outside was a little bit quieter, and the pressure on the ears felt less.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

When I took it out, I found that it was the phone number of the club chairman, Flores.

He found it strange that Flores seldom called him at this time before the game. If there was anything, he had finished talking the day before the game.

Strange as it is, he still picked it up: "Mr. Chairman?"

"Chang, are you at the stadium now?" Flores asked on the phone.

Because it was still noisy, Chang Sheng lowered his head and went to a secluded place to talk with the chairman on the phone.

"Yeah, I just got on the pitch and I'm getting ready to go to the locker room."

"I have a question. With Atletico Madrid today, how likely are we to beat them?"

Chang Sheng is even more strange. Flores rarely asks such a question. On the one hand, he does not interfere in the internal affairs of the team. On the other hand, this question is too stupid. Before the game, who knows how many points will be won or lost?

"I don't know how likely it is, but I will definitely defeat them." Chang Sheng replied honestly.

Flores on the phone laughed: "I just want to hear you say such unreasonable words with confidence! Ha!"

Chang Sheng keenly grasped other information from it: "Is something wrong, Mr. Chairman?"

"No, it's nothing. After a while, I will cheer for you on the rostrum. Work hard!"

After a few words of concern, Flores hung up the phone.

Chang Sheng felt strange.

Although Mr. Chairman said nothing, but he felt that something must have happened just now...

But what does this have to do with me?

Chang Sheng shook his head.

No matter what happens, one thing will not change, that is, I must lead the team to beat Atletico Madrid.

It had nothing to do with what happened, it was something he had decided long ago.

※ ※ ※

In the locker room of the home team at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, there is also a blackboard, which is where the teams usually make tactical arrangements.

Today, there is still an enlarged newspaper clipping on it.

The above is the remarks of Atletico Madrid coach Marcos Alonso at the pre-match press conference.

"Getafe is not worth mentioning!"

The media amplified Marcos Alonso's remarks maliciously, and then made them public. This is not a good thing for Marcos Alonso, nor is it 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 newspaper, and the bold, bold headlines on it.

But they didn't gather around, because they already knew about it through various channels last night.

The existence of this newspaper is just to remind them to turn over their memories of last night, and then make them more angry and less afraid of Atletico Madrid.

If it weren't for this game, many Getafe players might not have thought of the big brother in the Madrid area. Atletico Madrid, who is usually high above and can only make them look up, is just a dog that fell 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 landed, and Atletico Madrid is still struggling in the quagmire, covered in mud. In this way, he was still in the mud pit looking at Getafe, who had already landed, with a lofty look.

The Getafe players really don't understand where Atletico Madrid's current sense of superiority comes from.

So their evaluation of Atletico Madrid is even lower.

After changing their clothes, the Getafe players went out to warm up.

When they came back, the big-character poster in the locker room had disappeared.

The blackboard is filled with tactical points for the game. For example, when attacking, both wings must fly together, and the two wingers must frequently cross positions. When defending, pay attention to the opponent's center Kiko (), and guard the opponent's fullback Roberto (). The back line should pay attention to maintaining the overall formation, clarify their own defense zone, and the work to be done in the defense zone.

The entire blackboard was densely written, and Getafe's starting lineup was not even drawn.

Warming up before the game, Chang Sheng didn't go out, so he has been doing this work in the locker room. After finishing writing, he threw away the chalk and patted the dust on his hands. The chalk dust rose up and was quickly blown away by the indoor heating and air conditioning.

Although Chang Sheng has always said that he can beat Atletico Madrid, he still has not left behind the preparations that should be made.

From these dense tactical points, we can see what efforts Chang Sheng and his coaching staff have made to win this game.

Although Chang Sheng is good at rhetoric, but the rhetoric must be supported by practical actions, otherwise it is really just rhetoric.

※ ※ ※

After the players warmed up, they returned to the locker room.

They saw the dense handwriting on the blackboard, but Chang Sheng who wrote these disappeared.

At this time, there are only more than 20 minutes left before the start of the game.

Everyone thought that Chang Sheng would 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.

Faced with such an enemy, isn't he angry?

Doesn't he have a lot of things accumulated in his heart to say?

But that didn't happen, and the players in the dressing room chatted away as they waited for their manager.

But what they were waiting for didn't happen.

It was only ten minutes before the start of the game that Chang Sheng pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing the players who have changed their game jerseys, he seemed in a good mood.

Then he started talking.

"Before today's game, people only knew that the Madrid region had Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Vallecano. But I want to tell you, after today's game, people will know that the Madrid region has Real Madrid, Besides Atletico Madrid and Vallecano, there is Getafe!"

After speaking, he looked at the players.

There are not many words, and the tone is not impassioned.

But whether it was Rudy Gonzalez or Manuel Garcia, or other members of the coaching staff, they were surprised to find that the expressions of the Getafe players were changing.

After hearing Chang Sheng's words, the expressions of the Getafe players are becoming fanatical!

Because Chang Sheng described a great future for them in two simple sentences!

From now on, Getafe is no longer a nobody in the Madrid region! They also won't be dismissively referred to as "Rednecks" or "Squads from 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, which is also in the second division, is a team from the Madrid region. Like Getafe, it is a team located in the Madrid satellite city of Leganes.

But no one ever thought of them as a Madrid team because they didn't have a big name. Many people don't even know where Leganes is at all.

Getafe was also in the same situation before that, and not many people were willing to regard them as a Madrid team, and saying that they were a Madrid suburban team would be considered a compliment to Getafe.

Until they became the number one in the second division, more and more people began to pay attention to them and face them squarely.

But that's not enough, they lack a game that can really prove them.

Now, the game is here.

Come to a derby in the Madrid region with Atletico Madrid. If they can beat Atletico Madrid, then from now on, no one will look at them seriously again.

The future drawn by Chang Sheng is big, but attractive enough.

Can Getafe still be unknown if they can directly talk to Atletico Madrid, a big brother that they could only look up to before, and beat them?

Like rednecks desperate to break into high society, this game offered the rednecks of the suburbs of Madrid that opportunity.

Eager to squeeze into the upper class and prove his utilitarianism is Getafe's biggest motivation.

And Chang Sheng's keen gap reached this point, and successfully ignited the fire in their hearts-he didn't think utilitarianism was 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 compete seriously. Anyone wants to be successful, anyone wants to make more money and become more famous, but in football money and fame don't just drop out of nowhere and hit you on the head. So in order to achieve this goal, you have to train hard, compete hard, and face every challenge bravely. If you can't do it, you can't succeed!

Once the flame is burning, it can't be extinguished by the wind again. The blazing flame burns and spreads in everyone's heart, and soon becomes one piece. Rudy Gonzalez and the others clearly felt that scorching breath... To be continued. (..), your support is my greatest motivation. )
