Chapter 40 The Story of "Genius"

The reporters did not wait for Chang Sheng's post-match press conference, but they were not as angry as they were the first time.

Because they finally figured out Chang Sheng's temper, he is a person who takes soft things but not tough ones. If you are against him, then he will be right with you to the end, and he really does what he says, without bluffing.

This Chinese who turned out to be born in the sky is different from any coach they have come into contact with before. He...has such a personality!

This is completely outside their range of experience.

How to deal with him, there is no experience and practice to follow.

But they have already accumulated the most basic experience in the struggle with Chang Sheng, that is...don't go against him, because the one who goes against him must be the one who will be unlucky in the end!

as now. They planned to block Chang Sheng, but found that Chang Sheng could not be blocked...

So on the second day, many media reported the game honestly. Fortunately, Getafe's tactics and even the process of beating Levante were similar to the last game they beat Villarreal at home. So reporting this game is equivalent to answering many fans' questions about how Getafe beat Villarreal in the last game.

To be honest, the reporters felt aggrieved when they made a lot of publicity about their victories.

They actually took the initiative to bow their heads to the enemy...

Where is our dignity as uncrowned kings!

It's just that at this time, in front of the market, their dignity isn't worth a penny.

Chang Sheng found that the reports about Getafe and him in the media suddenly became wrong again, and he didn’t understand what was going on—he really didn’t expect the media to give in so quickly. He originally thought that these people would stiffen their necks They survived until the end of the season, but they would break their promise after only one week.

But he doesn't care much about the media coverage of him and the team.

The only problem is that the number of reporters in Las Margaritas Sports City has re-emerged.

They won't bother themselves, but they will harass the players.

Especially Jose Passarella and Carlos Campo, two rookies who are only eighteen years old.

So they specially went to two people for an interview, asking them to keep calm and not to be overwhelmed by the results of a few games.

He showed them the importance of keeping a level head in their careers.

In order to convince the two young people and take it seriously, Chang Sheng also told them a story: "Once upon a time there was a player who was so talented that even God was jealous of him. He could easily With those tricky feints, his style of play is pleasing to the eye. But more than that, he not only plays the ball beautifully, but also brings victories and championships to the team. But after quickly becoming famous, he is lost. In the rich local nightlife, one day a newspaper published a comparison chart, which was a comparison of the image of this player after joining the team for the first season and after four seasons. Everyone can clearly see that his bare upper body belly is no longer As strong as before, the fat appeared...for a while, there was a storm of criticism, many people accused him of being too self-indulgent, complacent, and lack of self-motivation..."

"And then? Has he reformed?" Carlos Campo asked curiously.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, talented players are always conceited and conceited. They think that they only need to work a little harder to return to the top, so most of the time they still indulge in the feasting and feasting with peace of mind. But inertia is terrible Yes, when they realize that they should change, they are often unable to change. In the end he was abandoned by the club and moved to another club, but here he still has not been able to regain his strength, or he only performed slightly better After one o'clock, he returned to the rich nightlife... Finally, he lost the national team,

He was abandoned by the wealthy, and he could only go back to his hometown to play football. The world football only left his legend, but his current figure has disappeared. "

"It sounds so sad," Carlos Campo said.

"Who is that man, boss?" José Passarella asked.

"That person...is called a 'genius'." Chang Sheng replied.

"What a strange name!" Campo exclaimed.

Passarella lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In fact, Chang Sheng was talking about Ronaldinho.

From his knowledge, he has seen too many people who get carried away with fame end up in the end, and the Brazilian genius Ronaldinho is one of the most famous.

From the beginning of the 03-04 season, Ronaldinho, who joined Barcelona, ​​was so popular. He has won FIFA's World Player of the Year Award for two consecutive years, and also won UEFA's Ballon d'Or. It seems that he has replaced the declining Ronaldo and has become the new idol of Brazilian football.

Countless fans were fascinated by his excellent footwork and inspiration.

The world even thinks that football will become the era of Ronaldinho, and he will also become the next king of football.

But the inferiority of Brazilian players eventually ruined a generation of peerless geniuses.

Brazilians, who are playful by nature, are addicted to various nightlife and linger in various nightclubs. Alcohol, beauty, music and parties became the focus and key words of Ronaldinho in the next few years.

Later he was abandoned by Barcelona and AC Milan, only to return to Brazil. When he returned to Brazil, his state was also unstable. When he performed well, he was very good, and when he performed poorly, he disappeared. A genius who could have become the king of the ball has been reduced to a quasi-first-class player.

It's heartbreaking.

Speaking of Ronaldinho, it seems that he has not gone to Paris Saint-Germain at this time, and is still in Brazil...

Chang Sheng remembers that Ronaldinho is going to Paris Saint-Germain next summer. At that time, Paris Saint-Germain and Gremio were still fighting, so Chang Sheng was very impressed. Originally, the two sides had negotiated in March 2001, and Paris Saint-Germain bought Ronaldinho for 4.5 million euros. But then Gremio felt that the money was short, and the two sides kept wrangling and fighting lawsuits. It was not until August that Ronaldinho successfully landed in Paris Saint-Germain.

Although Ronaldinho is still in Brazil at this time, Chang Sheng never thought about snatching him over.

Because it's not realistic.

Although Ronaldinho has not yet gone abroad, he has enough influence in the world.

In 1997, he became famous at the World Junior Championships in Egypt, and was elected the best player and top scorer in that competition. In 1999, he helped Brazil win the Copa America. In the 1999 Confederations Cup, Ronaldinho was already the leader of that Brazil team. top scorer. Although that Brazilian team can only be regarded as the second-tier Brazilian team, it can lead Brazil, which shows Ronaldinho's status.

For such a big man, in Europe, countless giants have long been eyeing him. Getafe, the West Second Division team, wants to compete with others for Ronaldinho.

In the end, although Paris Saint-Germain snatched him, you must know that Paris Saint-Germain, which has fallen to the point where it can only be saved by the UAE's oil dollars, is a proper Ligue 1 giant, a traditional powerhouse, and its strength should not be underestimated. big. At this time, the impression of Ligue 1 is not as weak as it will be in the future, and the media still has the title of "the five major leagues in Europe". Paris Saint-Germain is very attractive.

Chang Sheng looked at the two young people in front of him and said to them: "So professional football is a very fair world. If you take football seriously, then football will give you a good result. If you don't take football seriously, Football will naturally abandon you. This is the same as farming. The seeds you plant, take good care of them, weed and fertilize and eliminate pests, then you will have a bumper harvest in autumn. But if you don’t care about anything, just put the seeds Buy it in the field, then go home and sleep and dream, and in the fall you will be a wasteland. I hope you remember this, boys. You are still young, eighteen years old, as a professional player , You are young and enviable. You still have a long way to go in the future, you may not always be in Getafe, but no matter where you are, you must not forget to take your career seriously. Only in this way can you succeed."

The ideal is to let the Getafe club's home court be named after himself. Carlos Campo suddenly asked: "Why don't we always stay in Getafe, boss? I have supported Getafe since I was a child, and I want to always stay in Getafe. Playing for her until I retire. It would be even better if Getafe's stadium could be named after me...Of course, this is my ideal."

Hearing his ideal, Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Because Getafe is too small for you."

He is very clear that when Jose Passarella and Campo are famous this season, there will be more and more teams interested in them, and they will directly apply for transfer to Getafe in the future . With Getafe's strength, it is impossible not to be tempted by large sums of money.

In fact, this is also the law of world football. For a small team with the strength of Getafe, in order to survive, it is their way to survive by cultivating young talented players and then selling them to those big clubs. This has nothing to do with ideals or lofty aspirations. This is a very real issue.

Even if Getafe shouted "not for sale" in the future, it was just taking the opportunity to open the lion's mouth.

The talented players of these small teams, as long as they perform well, will eventually leave, no matter how much he loves his home team.

He has seen this kind of thing a lot, and vows are nothing, they are not worth a penny in professional football.

"For you, boss?" Jose Passarella asked.

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "For me, it's a little too small..."

"Will you leave Getafe?" Campo also heard the meaning of Chang Sheng's words.

"Don't worry, it's not now, nor next season. I think it will be in the future, it will be in the future, so don't think about it now!" Chang Sheng quickly comforted him, he was afraid that his future departure would make people The hearts of the two little guys were shaken. You can rely on their strength to keep yourself from relegation.

Of course, he will not change his plan because of this.

The Getafe fans are very good, and the two players are also very good. The Getafe fans who live in the apartment building with him are also very cute, which made him feel the warmth of the world.

But this is not the reason why he wants to stay in Getafe.

He wants to be the best coach in the world. But has anyone ever heard of becoming a famous coach on a team that has been relegated every year?

If you want to improve yourself and become a famous coach, you will naturally go to big teams to seek opportunities for success.

Getafe, whose home stand capacity is less than 20,000 people, is really too small for their own collection.

Moreover, the financial situation is not good, and even a decent player cannot be bought, and it is even less attractive to famous players. How can a team that always trains talents for Real Madrid and relies on picking up the rest of Real Madrid have a future?

To see more beautiful scenery, you have to climb higher mountains.
