Chapter 149

From that night on, the evening papers, radio, and TV were full of news about Chang Sheng bowing his head to Harvey Passos at the press conference. (..No pop-up window to read)

As long as you pay attention to the La Liga or the Copa del Rey, it is impossible to miss this news.

The reporters were so elated that they were short of directly announcing Chang's victory and defeat.

No wonder they're so excited because it's really, really rare.

They have always been at a disadvantage in the war with Changsheng, and have never won.

But this time, they actually won!

For a while, many media even had a sense of unreality.

Thought I was dreaming.

"... At the press conference today, there was a surprising scene..."

"...Getafe's head coach, Chang, who is known for his tough personality, admitted frankly that his team could not beat Celta Vigo in the King's Cup!"

"This is really incredible...you know that last season, in the first game he coached the team, Getafe met Osasuna, who was number one in the league at the time. The result was before the game, often in the news Announced at the press conference that his goal for this game is to win..."

"...Everyone thought he was crazy at the time. But he really led the team to defeat Osasuna 3:2 in the end!"

"Everyone who is familiar with Chang knows that he is a very tough person. No matter what the situation, he will not give up easily. So his bowing his head this time is very surprising..."

"...Although it is surprising that he voluntarily conceded defeat, if we analyze it carefully, we will find that it is not surprising at all. This is expected. Because before no matter what, Chang's opponents were all at the level of the second division. Even if the opponents are strong, they are all limited. As long as you work hard, or if you are lucky, you can still create miracles. But this Copa del Rey match is different. Their opponent is Celta Vigo. A team in the First Division, and this season has performed well, ranking eighth. The huge gap in strength between the two sides can erase all possibilities, even if Getafe is playing at home, it will not help..."

"I admit that Chang's many transformations in Getafe this season are successful. However, no matter how his team transforms, it cannot break away from the category of a second-tier team. But his opponent is a first-tier team... this I am afraid that Chang Sheng is also very aware of the gap in strength between them. That's why he behaved like this at the press conference..."

"It's not that Changsheng conceded in advance. It's the fact that he bowed his head. Even if he doesn't want to bow his head... A team and a B team are completely two concepts. It can be seen from the teams in the second division... Sevilla's performance is considered the best,

But they still lost to Getafe. This shows what? This shows that after losing a large number of original players, their overall strength has changed from Class A to Class B..."

"Getafe's bench is not strong enough, which is the Achilles' heel of a small team. If you want to deal with two lines at the same time, I'm afraid you will lose both lines. The smart way is to give up one end. The league can't give up, This season Getafe is very hopeful to compete for the promotion spot. Regardless of their current ranking in the league, there is still a possibility that they will fall from this position due to carelessness... in order to ensure that To avoid relegation, the team will definitely invest more troops in the league. In this way, the only thing that can give up is the Copa del Rey... In fact, we can see the clues from the last round of the Copa del Rey... Chang Sheng, who basically never rotates, actually replaced half of the main players in that game for an unprecedented time..."

"So I think that the Copa del Rey match on January 4th is actually no suspense. What if Getafe played at home? Celta will definitely beat Getafe easily!"

Chang Sheng watched these guests on TV analyze what he did, and laughed non-stop.

Kate Gracie next to her was surprised: "You can still laugh when people dislike you so much?"

Chang Sheng said with a smile: "Of course, I really hope that they look down on me even more!"

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"You are sick!" Chang Sheng explained after rolling his eyes. "Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying..."

He originally wanted to draw a code, but when he thought that Kate Gracie was not Chinese, she might not know what Sun Tzu's Art of War was, let alone the codes in it, and what he said was nothing. I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​showing off, and explained honestly: "Our strength is weaker than Celta. If we want to defeat them, we can't fight hard, but we have to think of other ways and find another way. I Actively showing weakness is to let the other party think that we are not a threat to them and make them underestimate the enemy, only in this way can we have a chance."

Kate Gracie is not an idiot either, Chang Sheng explained a bit, and he understood.

"No wonder you want the media to look down on you. Their propaganda will help you mislead your opponents and give them the impression that 'Getafe is nothing to worry about'. Then you can take advantage of it."

Chang Sheng nodded, saying in Chinese: "You can teach a child."

"What did you say?"

"I said you kid has a future."

"Don't think I'm an idiot, I still understand such a simple truth. But are you sure your method will work?" Kate Gracie asked.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."

Kate Gracie didn't come up in one breath, coughing because of choking.

After finally calming himself down, he glared at Chang Sheng: "You don't know?"

"Yeah, I don't know." Chang Sheng spread his hands and shrugged.

"How could you not know?"

"Why should I know? I don't have supernatural powers, and I can directly see through other people's hearts. How do I know what others think. But if I do this, I may succeed. If I don't do it, it doesn't exist at all. A possible opportunity. As long as the other party has the slightest contempt for us, that is our opportunity!"

"You're gambling..."

"The small fish wants to eat the big fish. It's a gamble. You don't pay the price, you don't take the risk, you just want to defeat the strong with the weak. No magic novel dares to write like that." Chang Sheng seemed very calm.

"Then I can only wish you good luck..." Kate Gracie didn't know what to say.

"Thanks!"

There is another person sitting in front of the TV and watching this TV program like Chang Sheng.

Of course, there are a lot of people watching TV, and there are a lot of people watching this program.

But this person is different, because he is Vigo Celta's head coach Victor Fernandez.

He sat in a room with the lights turned off, only the light of the TV screen, which shone on his face, flickering on and off.

And he looked at the TV screen without saying a word, as if lost in thought.

Chang Sheng still doesn't know whether his performance has deceived his opponent, but he deceived his own people first.

The next day, when he came to the team and was about to start a day of training, he found that the members of the coaching staff were all looking at him with strange eyes—except for Rudy Gonzalez.

Or Manuel Garcia stood up and asked him: "Chang, is what you said at the press conference yesterday true?"

He looked at him worriedly, as if he was afraid that Chang Sheng would say "it's true".

Because if this is the case, it means that Chang Sheng's heart has been shaken, so what's the point of this game?

Isn't all our efforts all in vain?

Chang Sheng glanced at him, then at the other coaches, and finally his eyes fell on Rudy Gonzalez.

Including Manuel Garcia, almost all the coaches looked at him with worried eyes.

There seemed to be some kind of smile in Rudy Gonzalez's eyes.

This makes Chang Sheng feel that there is finally someone who can keep up with his thinking...

He smiled and said to a worried Manuel Garcia: "Of course it's fake."

Coach Manuel Garcia was obviously relieved.

"I knew... Ha!" he said.

Rudy Gonzalez also laughed: "Ha! Look at what I said a long time ago! He must be a liar, just to deceive our opponents! Only Celta thought we had really surrendered , don't take us to heart, we may have a chance to defeat them."

Chang Sheng nodded to him: "That's right. I didn't expect to deceive all of my own people. From this point of view, our opponent should also be successfully deceived..."

Unexpectedly, Rudy Gonzalez interrupted him: "That's not necessarily the case."

Chang Sheng turned his gaze to him.

"Celta's head coach Victor Fernandez is a cautious person. He is very cautious. Celta's ability to rank eighth this season is inseparable from his caution. He has made full preparations for any game. Basically, I tried to take all the circumstances into consideration and prepared countermeasures. So if you want to deceive him, you can't rely on just a few words."

Rudy Gonzalez deserves to be someone who knows Spanish football very well. Regarding the team's opponents, he speaks eloquently, knows a lot, and has accurate information.

"If you want to deceive him, you need to do a little harder, Chang." Rudy Gonzalez said to Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng felt that this seemed to be a challenge from Rudy.

Do you dare to be harder on yourself?

How far can you go to win?

Are you testing me?

Chang Sheng grinned openly, and gave Rudy Gonzalez a silent answer with this confident smile.

After seeing Chang Sheng's answer, Rudy Gonzalez also froze for a moment.

It seems that Chang Sheng has a well-thought-out plan and has already prepared for it...

After laughing, Chang Sheng said to all the coaches: "What I said to you just now is not allowed to be leaked. Not only the reporters, but even our players are not allowed to tell them."

Coach Manuel Garcia is not a fool either. After hearing what Chang Sheng said, he understood what Chang Sheng was going to do.

He was taken aback: "Are you going to lie to the players?"

"After all, we have few people, too many players, and too many people. I am afraid that someone will accidentally reveal this matter to the media and leak the news. For the sake of safety, I cannot tell the players the truth. Secondly, let The close Victor Fernandez is convinced that we have really surrendered, so we have to make our own people think that I really intend to give up this game." Chang Sheng explained.

"But aren't you afraid that doing so will shake the morale of the team? You must know that we were all disappointed when we heard you say that. Those young players are afraid that their emotions will be more unstable now..."

"Manuel, why don't you think they will arouse more fighting spirit and try to prove me wrong in the game?" Chang Sheng asked back with a smile.

"Are you so sure, Chang?"

"At this time, I choose, and I can only choose to believe them." After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands, "Okay guys, let's start preparing for work now! Remember, no one is allowed to talk about this office conversation. Leaked half a sentence! This is about victory, I hope everyone can keep it secret! I believe in my players, and I believe in you! Don't let me down!"
