Chapter 55 The Usefulness of Games (Part 1)

At that time, in the Alfonso Perez stadium, more than 10,000 Getafe fans did not leave, waiting for the results of the other two games in the stadium.

Chang Sheng was among them.

He was also a little excited about this scene.

After all, this was the first time he had experienced such a scene in his two lifetimes.

I had only seen similar scenes in sports news on TV before, but I didn't expect that I would become one of them now, and it is still a very important one.

When the final results came in, Manuel Garcia was the first to hug him, followed by fitness coach Juan Zavala.

As for the others, they were all carried away.

Everyone is cheering and celebrating. It is tantamount to relegation in advance.

In fact, this situation is not much different from early relegation.

The point gap with the relegation zone has widened to four points, and there are two rounds left in the league.

As long as they win another goal, Getafe will be relegated one round ahead of schedule no matter what the other teams are doing!

For others, Getafe's relegation is the ultimate goal.

But for Changsheng, Getafe's relegation is just the beginning.

Getafe successfully avoided relegation, he can get an extra season's contract, and he will also have the right to transfer, and then he can finally go all over the world to find those players he has long admired.

Relegation is just the prologue of a game. If you can't pass the prologue, you can't play this game at all.

Now he is finally qualified to continue playing the game.

The next day Getafe's local media were reporting on the incident.

Rogerones and Compostela lost one and drew the other, putting Getafe in a very favorable situation.

When Chang Sheng first coached the team, those who did not believe that he could lead the team to relegation successfully, at this time can only bow their heads in front of the strong actual results.

Getafe's various bars are filled with praise from Getafe fans for their victories.

For more than a month, because of the war between the media and Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng has been promoted by the media as a heinous villain. Especially in the recent civil strife, Chang Sheng won a not-so-nice nickname "tyrant" in the media.

The media almost shouted that Chang Sheng is a "dictator".

What's more, many fans who don't know the truth think that Chang Sheng is a villain with poor character.

But in the Getafe area, there is no such situation at all.

Although Getafe fans had similar thoughts at first.

After he had a fight with the genius Gorka on his first day in the C team, many Getafe fans thought the same way, thinking that Changsheng must not be a good bird.

But then Changsheng proved that he had a good reason to go to Gorka.

After that, his coaching performance in the youth team is obvious to all. Everyone has seen how the hopeless Getafe C team has made progress time and time again under his hands.

Eventually he became the head coach of the first team.

Although some people doubt whether he can manage such a team, absolutely no one doubts his character.

The media's distortion and slander of Chang Sheng only made Getafe fans sneer at it.

Now, Chang Sheng has also proved his ability with practical actions. The Getafe fans no longer have the slightest doubt, and they have completely fallen to the side of Chang Sheng.

No matter how the media hypes Getafe's internal hype, even if the internal strife is true, Getafe fans don't think there is anything wrong with what Chang Sheng did. How can such a divided team survive relegation? So Chang Sheng eliminated those players who did not work well, and it turned out that he was right. Otherwise, can the team have a chance to successfully avoid relegation one round in advance?

That's really hard to say...

The forty-first round of the league is the most important game of Getafe this season.

They challenge Cordoba away.

Cordova currently has 54 points, ranking eleventh, and there is no possibility of relegation for a long time. Of course, there is no hope of upgrading.

Cordoba is not a strong team, at least not in front of the highly motivated Getafe.

During this week's preparations, Chang Sheng continued to boost the team's morale, almost convincing them that they could win against a La Liga giant like Atletico Madrid.

Then with such a high fighting spirit, the whole team set off to Córdoba, the capital of Córdoba province in southern Spain.

This is destined to be their most memorable game of the season.

Córdoba Airport is a small regional airport that can only accommodate small aircrafts. Moreover, Getafe's current financial situation is relatively tight, and it is impossible for the whole team to fly to the away game.

Fortunately, the Madrid area is located in the central part of Spain, no matter which direction you go, the distance is about the same.

A little closer, the team took the bus to go.

Take the train a little farther.

To Córdoba, take the train.

From Madrid to Córdoba, if you take the Spanish high-speed rail AVE, you will arrive in one hour and fifty minutes, which is very fast and convenient. There are shuttle buses from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., a total of 19 shifts, with many trips and a wide range of choices.

The day before the game, the winning team was still training in the Las Margarita Sports City in Getafe. After training in the afternoon, the whole team took a bus to Madrid Railway Station, and then took the train to the away.

Taking the train to an away game, Chang Sheng was a little surprised when he saw it for the first time. European football is so developed. Spain is a place with a high level of European football. No matter what, you have to take a plane to go to an away game. In fact, La Liga giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona do the same.

But who would have thought that Getafe is the star of Spanish football at all, and the transportation costs of away games every season are also a big pressure on the team's finances. The first to jump out against it.

Although there are many benefits of flying, such as saving time, such as reducing the fatigue value of players during the journey.

But no money, no amount of benefits.

After many trips by train to the away game, Chang Sheng is no wonder.

For him, taking the train to the away game is also a different style.

At least you can see the beautiful scenery along the way.

Spain's high-speed rail runs at 250 kilometers per hour. At this time, there are no such fast trains in China. At this time, the fastest train in China is only 120 kilometers per hour, and the average speed of most trains is only 60 kilometers per hour. With a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, green leather cars can still be seen everywhere. It's not like China ten years later, a car with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour can only be called a "high-speed train", and a car with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour is a high-speed rail.

In the previous life, Chang Sheng once took the high-speed rail because of a business trip, and felt the sense of speed. Now he feels that the 250-kilometer Spanish high-speed rail AVE is really not fast enough. If they had been quicker, they could have reached their destination in a little over an hour.

But for now, he can only try to pass the time on the train.

Nearly two hours did not pass in the blink of an eye.

And he also knows that if he wants to coach Getafe next season, he probably has to rush to the away game like this. In the beginning, he was unprepared and prepared nothing, so he was really in a daze for two hours on the train.

And look at other people, whether they are staff or players, they either take a nap or sleep, or play various handheld game consoles, or listen to music, and some people play cards and chat. In short, there are things to do, obviously they have long been used to it, and they have long been prepared. It seems that Getafe's financial problems are not a matter of one or two years.

Getafe has packed a car, which is full of Getafe players and staff.

The journey is long, and Chang Sheng has already prepared for it. The way he passes the time is to play games.

He specifically ran to buy a laptop.

There are not many other things in it, except for a Spanish version of Champion Football Manager 99/00, which is CM99/00.

In his previous life, he was a veteran Football Manager game player.

Starting from the "FIFA97 Football Manager" that he had access to at the beginning, he has played every generation of football manager games.

Later, after the champion football manager game (CM) was introduced to China, he and many players who also liked football manager games moved to this football manager game, which claims to have the most detailed and authentic information.

Since then, he has become a loyal fan of SI Corporation. Later, SI and Ubisoft parted ways, and he also switched to SI's FM camp.

There is no FM now, CM99/00 is the latest version of CM game.

In fact, he has just installed it, and he hasn't had time to play it yet, so he just uses it to pass the time on the road.

PS, I'm sorry everyone, it is really necessary to disassemble this chapter and publish it.

The number of words in the public version is limited to 300,000 words, but since I just uploaded it, there are too many and too fast, you can go and have a look, many of them are updated three times a day, and the number of words in my chapter is also very high. more. Therefore, the number of words now exceeds the standard.

In order not to exceed the standard too much, I had no choice but to make a bad move, otherwise the editor should find me for tea.

The number of words in this chapter is more than 4,900 words, and the number of words in a single chapter is relatively large, so I split it up and divided it into upper and lower parts. I hope everyone will be tolerant.

I owe everyone, I owe you one chapter, and I will pay you two chapters after it is put on the shelves.

I owed you one chapter on Monday, and owed you two chapters in total, and I will pay you four chapters by then. I remember it all, don't worry.

Once again I ask for your forgiveness...
