Chapter 47 The Tyrant
In today's Getafe dressing room, the atmosphere seemed a little tense.
When Segura, Pineda and others walked into the locker room together, ready to start a day of training, they were greeted by Popovich and others staring at them angrily.
"Victor!" Popovich, the team's number ten, roared when he saw Segura talking and laughing.
Segura looked up and saw Popovich, stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What's wrong, ElBaradei?"
"You stabbed those things in the newspaper, didn't you!" Popovich asked, glaring at his teammates.
Popovich knew that Segura and others had opinions on Chang Sheng, but he had never mixed this kind of thing in the locker room. After all, we are still teammates. They have opinions on the head coach, but not on themselves. There is no need to make the relationship so rigid.
But now, Popovich can't hide his inner anger.
Yesterday he received calls from several familiar reporters asking him about the infighting.
Only then did he know that the matter was known by the media, and it was the influential "Marca" newspaper.
This kind of matter has always been an internal matter of the team, and everyone has this awareness-no matter what internal conflicts, it must be resolved in the locker room, or it is not allowed to be mentioned except in the locker room, not a single word is allowed.
Although no one has ever said it explicitly, everyone knows it. This is the unwritten unspoken rule.
The locker room is sacred, and it is the least tolerant of media prying eyes.
The conflict between Segura and Chang Sheng can be regarded as a war in the locker room in a strict sense, although most of the contests took place on the training ground.
Therefore, Segura and others have never revealed this contradiction before—as long as no one reveals it, it will be very difficult for the reporters to notice. In fact, many internal conflicts are only known to the outside world because they have been directly made public.
Popovich also thought this was a sign of Segura's understanding of the rules, so he was naturally unwilling to say anything about it.
Who would have thought that this matter would be stabbed out by them!
What?
I have to ask why Popovich didn't suspect that Chang Sheng had stabbed it?
Because Popovich is very aware of the relationship between their head coach and the media-he has directly blocked the media, and he will go to the media to break the news? And the one he was looking for was the "Marca" newspaper that had always disliked him? Based on his understanding of Chang Sheng during this period of time, he didn't think his head coach would be so despicable.
So this matter can only be done by Segura and his group.
Faced with Popovich's questioning, Segura's smile froze.
Of course, they were the ones who poked this out, and they knew very well that the consequences of doing so would have a negative impact on the team's relegation.
So now facing Popovich's questioning, Segura is a little embarrassed.
Pineda next to him reacted quickly: "It's nothing, ElBaradei! How could we do such a thing..."
"Then who told them these things!" Popovich threw a copy of yesterday's "Marca" newspaper in front of them.
All eyes were on the cover of the "Marca" newspaper.
To the left of the cover image is a headline: "Getafe: Fortress crumbles from within!"
You don't need to turn to the specific page to read the content anymore, you can know what it is talking about just by looking at the title.
Segura, Pineda and the others raised their heads and looked at the teammates in front of them.
Like Popovich, they didn't look very friendly at themselves.
Although they fell out with Chang Sheng, there were not so many direct conflicts between the players in the locker room. Even Jose Passarella and Carlos Campo, because of the presence of Popovich, everyone is not offended.
Showing their thoughts directly on their faces like this,
This is the first time.
They are loathing people like Segura and Pineda.
"You don't want to tell us that this is actually made up by the media itself?" Popovich sneered.
Segura finally came to his senses. He shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "Who knows? Maybe it's true. Maybe he often tells the media by himself..."
He didn't finish, because he found that Popovich was looking at him with idiot eyes, and there were many people like Popovich.
"Stop talking nonsense!" A teenager scolded loudly in the crowd.
With the scolding, Jose Passarella came out from his teammates, his eyes were full of anger, and he stared at Segura.
"Kid, keep your mouth clean!" Segura may have cared about Popovich's status in the team when facing Popovich, but when he met Jose Passarella from Team C, he could You can put on the airs of your "predecessors". And he was tougher on Jose Passarella, because Jose Passarella was a central defender! Originally Segura was the main force, but now the main force is indeed Jose Passarella. Segura has always believed that this kid stole his position - if it wasn't for this kid's outstanding performance, how could Chang Sheng be willing to brazenly put himself in the stands?
In the first team, Jose Passarella was not a troublemaker, and he didn't want Carlos Campo to jump like that, so Segura thought Passarella would be easier to bully.
Unexpectedly, in the face of his scolding, Passarella would not give in an inch, with a tough attitude.
"Everyone here knows that you plan to leave the team, so whether Getafe relegation or not has nothing to do with you. You think that by doing such a thing, the team will be affected and the relegation will fail in the end. But you are just dreaming! "Jose Passarella hit the nail on the head, and he poked the hearts of Segura and others. "Getafe will be able to successfully avoid relegation!"
Popovich came up and patted him on the shoulder, stood beside him, and then looked at Segura and others without saying a word.
Carlos Campo also stepped out of the crowd and said to Segura: "Are you going to fight? Jose and I are not afraid!"
Then he also sided with Jose Passarella.
Although the other teammates did not stand up, they also expressed their meaning with their eyes-they agreed with what the young man said, and they were willing to stand with him.
Jose Passarella has long won the trust and love of everyone with his performance on the court and his attitude on the training ground.
Seeing this scene, Segura's complexion suddenly turned ugly.
He suddenly realized that not only were they excluded from the team by Chang Sheng, but now they were also isolated by these teammates.
This team... It seems that there is really no need to stay any longer!
※※※
In the end, the two sides did not directly tear their faces apart, and Segura and others chose to remain silent under the glaring gaze of the crowd.
In fact, it is the default.
They changed their clothes silently, and then quickly left the locker room.
For them, the atmosphere in the locker room now makes them feel very tormented. It's better to stay here as little as possible.
After they left, Jose Passarella found a good friend Carlos Campo.
"It's unfair for those reporters and Segura to treat Boss like this! But Boss is unwilling to face the media now, so he can't change for himself. We should defend him." He put forward his own ideas.
Campo asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do? Go and tell the reporter that the boss did not cause internal strife, that the boss is not a tyrant? Who would believe you!"
"Of course I won't go to the reporter. I've made up my mind. I'm going to express my support for the boss on an occasion that their reporters can't stop."
"Where?"
"On the field!"
"what are you up to?"
"I want to use goals to express my support for the boss!" Jose Passarella said firmly.
Carlos Campo was dumbfounded.
※※※
Segura and the others thought that being isolated by his teammates in the locker room was over. They just need to be patient and patient, until the end of the season, they can escape from this damn place.
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng gave them a "surprise" when the day's training started.
Before the start of training, Chang Sheng stood in front of the team and began to roll their names one by one.
Those who were called by his name were all members of the "disruptive party".
After saying the name.
He said: "The people whose names I named just now... From now on, you will go to the B team to report and train with the B team. I think that the Getafe B team will have players of your high level in the next few years." Excited."
After hearing what Chang Sheng said, those people were struck by lightning.
They didn't expect Chang Sheng's revenge to come so quickly! And so ruthless!
He didn't even wait for the end of the season to put them all in limbo!
Spain's B team is actually the "reserve team" in other countries' leagues.
Everyone knew exactly what it meant to be called into the reserve team.
This is punishment. Punishment for leaking team secrets.
If it is as simple as entering the B team, the key lies in his last sentence "I am excited that the Getafe B team will have players of your high level in the next few years", what does that mean? Anyone with a good brain can hear it! He is going to put them in the B team for the next few years!
This is really... too cruel! Most of them only transferred from other teams to Getafe this season, and the minimum contracts were signed for three years. For example, Segura and Pineda, Segura's contract was signed for three years, and Pineda was even worse, he was signed for four years.
The long-term contract was a dream for them before, but now it has become their nightmare... If they were really forced to stay in the B team until the end of the contract, they would have been abolished long ago...
The other players looked at the stunned Segura and his companions coldly, without any expression of sympathy.
At such a critical moment for the team's relegation, these people revealed the internal affairs of the team to the news media for their own self-interest, completely ignoring the impact that doing so would have on the team's relegation. If the team ends up relegated because of the impact of this incident, these people will definitely hate them.
Not even Rudy Gonzalez was surprised or aggrieved by what happened to these players.
He lowered his head, no one knew what his expression was, but he didn't come out to fight Chang Sheng this time.
"Why... why!" Segura, who realized how vicious this punishment was, protested loudly. He never thought that going against the head coach would lead to such cruel revenge! It is not uncommon for the players and the head coach to have conflicts. How can there be such a ruthless head coach!
"You know it in your heart!" Chang Sheng said coldly.
"No...you can't treat us like this!"
"Need I remind you again?" Chang Sheng laughed suddenly, "Now, I am the head coach here!"
Segura, who was dying, suddenly sank down.
Yeah, it's a harsh, cold reality—the man in charge here is this annoying guy in front of him.
And this guy is simply a devil!
Carlos Campo, who saw this scene, touched Jose Passarella next to him: "Why do I think those damn reporters finally got it right once? Boss is really a 'tyrant' ..."
Jose Passarella shook his head and said: "To the enemy, it is a tyrant. To me, it is a king!"
