After the concerted efforts of the residents in the entire apartment building, the evening party was a great success.

Everyone gathered in Christian Moura's apartment, chatting and laughing.

Although he was not in a resplendent high-end club restaurant, he did not have expensive food and famous wine, and he was not accompanied by sexy beauties in scantily clad clothes.

But Chang Sheng felt that this kind of party with strong family gatherings was warmer.

He is alone in Spain, working hard alone, with the dreams and expectations of two people on his back, and the pressure is enormous.

At the same time, he has to face various discrimination and difficulties.

He doesn't have any close friends to share his inner secrets and anguish, and he is a bachelor, and he doesn't have a gentle and beautiful girlfriend to warm his bed and heart.

It has been a long time and the pressure is too great. If he will be homesick.

sometimes. Sometimes, for a short time, he would also think in his heart - if he didn't time travel, it would be fine, even if he was still a good-for-nothing... But at least he wasn't so tired!

Of course, such thoughts are only fleeting, and will immediately make him vigilant.

In his view, this kind of "escapeism" is very undesirable before the goal is achieved.

Since I have chosen this path, I have to go to the end. To be successful, of course it is not that easy, you need to pay a price, if you are just a little tired, it is good to get it.

If you want to relax, go home and be an otaku waste, of course it is easy, but he has lived this kind of life for thirty years, is he going to experience it again?

Since God gave him another chance, this time he has to change his way of life no matter what.

When there is a lot of pressure, having such a relaxing party can really relieve his emotions.

Everyone who came to the party sent congratulations and blessings to him.

There are very few people in this apartment building who are not Getafe fans. Maybe these people also like other teams at the same time, but Getafe will always be their home team because they are local residents of Getafe.

They are all very happy that Changsheng brought the team victory and that Osasuna was defeated.

Last night's game was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion, and everyone was telling how they felt when they saw that game.

When the team fell behind on the first goal, many people held their heads because they felt that another defeat was coming. They were numb when they conceded the second goal-this has been the case in the previous seven league rounds. No matter how the process is, Getafe must lose in the end anyway. This time they are directly behind by two goals, at least they won't toss their hearts.

Unexpectedly, when Carlos Campo was replaced from Changsheng, the situation on the court changed suddenly!

Then they felt a heart-pounding three minutes!

When the score was equalized by Yakui in just three minutes, many people still couldn't believe their eyes.

As for the final kill... Old Grande raised his gauze-wrapped left hand and was showing off to everyone: "When Kaiku beat Osasuna, I was so excited that I punched the cup!"

Chang Sheng smiled at him.

He knew why there was this party today, why everyone was so happy, even if they were injured, it became a reason to show off.

Because his team won the ball.

If he had lost yesterday, would all this still be there?

If he wants to see such a happy smiling face often, then his team has to win one after another.

So anyway, no matter how many other meanings and colors people give football to it, what politics, economy, culture, beliefs... there is only one thing that has always existed from the day football was born to its beginning,

Essence original, eternal.

That is, victory.

Without winning or losing, there would be no modern football.

If the students in British public schools just wanted to play for fun and didn't care about winning or losing, then football may eventually become a performance event, dispensable, and it is absolutely impossible to become popular all over the world and become a global sport. first movement.

Because competition is the life force of this sport.

Where there is competition, there will naturally be winners and losers.

Who likes to lose?

Everyone wants to win.

Everyone involved is dedicated to the pursuit of victory, which is the real charm of football.

Chang Sheng believes that his pursuit is correct, and he is on the right path.

In order to win, he is willing to give everything.

What's the point of being just tired?

The party lasted until after one o'clock in the morning, and everyone went to their respective houses.

For Spaniards, this is the normal end time.

Their hours are different from those of the rest of Europe.

When Chang Sheng just crossed, he was very uncomfortable. He went to have lunch at 11:30 noon, and found that all the restaurants were closed, or they were open and did not provide catering services. It was only later that he figured out that people in Spain eat lunch at two o'clock in the afternoon. Eleven o'clock is equivalent to people in the morning, have a silly lunch...

After living here for almost a year now, he has gradually adapted to the living time of the Spaniards.

Before leaving, the neighbors patted Chang Sheng on the shoulder one by one, and had high hopes for him.

In the end, Lemon leaned into Chang Sheng's ear with drunken eyes, breathed alcohol and said to him: "Chang, you must keep your word, and you must succeed in relegation... We will drink that bottle again at that time!"

Chang Sheng nodded: "Okay, okay! I always keep my word!"

Only then did Clement let him go, keeping his mouth a little further away. Otherwise, from a certain angle, one would think Chang Sheng and Lemon were kissing...

When the team resumed training the next day, Chang Sheng ran into some of his colleagues at the club on his way from the apartment building to the training ground.

These people smiled and nodded at him when they saw him.

Chang Sheng also smiled and nodded in response.

He seems to have returned to the days when he led the youth team to beat Gorka, and everyone treated him that way.

It seems that in the football world, strength is the hard currency... Popularity is also based on performance.

In addition to these colleagues, Chang Sheng also met some enthusiastic fans. They rushed to the outside of Las Margarita Sports City early, waiting to go in for training. Generally speaking, if the team has no special requirements, the training is open to fans and the media throughout the whole process. Unless you want to play closed training, it will only be open for 15 minutes.

This is a tradition of European football clubs being friendly to the people.

There are also stands around some training grounds for fans to sit and watch. So the fans took the whole family to watch the training while having a picnic around the training ground, which became a traditional entertainment activity for many fans.

There are two swimming pools outside the Sports City of Getafe, and there are a lot of green areas. Usually, this is the place where the locals of Getafe like to come to have a picnic. The green lawn is scattered with parasols of various colors.

Most of these people came to see the training.

Enrique Gonzalez is among these fans, but he is different from those fans who just give Chang Sheng a thumbs up or applaud. When he saw Chang Sheng approaching, he rushed out from the fans and ran to Chang Sheng in one breath.

Then a jersey was handed over.

When this young fan rushed in front of him, Chang Sheng was a little surprised. He quickly understood what the fan was thinking, but he was even more astonished.

"I'm not Popovich..." he explained to the fan in Spanish.

Because the fan handed over a No. 10 jersey, and the owner of the jersey was Bradimir Popovich, who scored one goal and assisted twice in yesterday's game.

He thought the fan had misunderstood someone... But what kind of eyes do you need to admit it...

Unexpectedly, the fan shook his head and said: "No, I'm not looking for Popovich, I'm looking for you, Mr. Coach! I want you to sign me...but I only have this jersey, so ...the club store doesn't sell any coach-related merchandise."

It turned out that he came to ask for his autograph... Chang Sheng touched his chin. Is he more handsome today?

After working in the youth team for six months, he gradually brought a weak team out of the results, and no fan asked him for an autograph...

It seems that the first team is where a coach should fight.

Chang Sheng took the pen and jersey, and was about to write it, but heard the fan say, "Can you write 'for Keek'?"

Chang Sheng nodded: "No problem, is this your name?" Then he wrote on the ball: "To Keek, I hope you enjoy the victory. Chang Sheng."

"No, my name is Enrique Gonzalez, but everyone calls me Quique, that's my nickname!" Enrique took the jersey and saw the words written by Chang Sheng. To be honest, Chang Sheng's signature is not good-looking, and the Spanish writing is just passable, and it is far behind those flamboyant calligraphers.

But Enrique is still very happy.

He also read out what Chang Sheng had written.

"I love enjoying the win!" he said excitedly. "The game the day before yesterday was very exciting! I watched it on the spot, and we were all crazy in the end! Thank you, China Chang! I will cheer for you at the next game!"

Chang Sheng couldn't help but look at this fan a few more times. He actually went to watch the game away from home... Chang Sheng has been in Spain for almost a year, and he also knows some "hidden rules" of Spanish football. He knows that he is willing to go There are not many fans watching the away game, especially in the case of Getafe's poor performance, it is hard to say whether the home court can be full, let alone go to the away game...

This is really a loyal die-hard fan.

Fortunately, I didn't disappoint him yesterday...

He couldn't imagine how the few Getafe fans survived the first seventy-five minutes in the most remote corner of the stand at the El Sardar Stadium with the worst angle.

Lymon said he once scolded himself for seventy-five minutes.

These fans may be like this.

After the fan left, Chang Sheng felt a little unbelievable—he actually had a supporter himself!

Although in later generations, coaches like Mourinho have a large number of fans.

But today's world football is still dominated by stars, and most people like stars, not coaches. As a coach, I am afraid that the impression is more of a low-key behind-the-scenes staff.

They are indispensable when they are blamed as scapegoats and scolded, but when they accept glory and glory, everyone will forget them.

So he was surprised that he had a fan, and then his vanity kicked in.

From the looks of it, it was great and right for me to choose this line of work!
