Chapter 57 Relegation Ahead of Schedule

In the end, Getafe defeated Cordoba 2:0 away.

When the game ended, all the players filled the field, even the staff.

They are all expressing their emotions.

Everyone has been under tremendous pressure this season.

If the team was relegated, what was the effort of all of them last season?

Many people still remember the grand occasion at the Alfonso Perez Stadium last season when they successfully promoted from Group B of the second division and rushed to the second division. When the final whistle sounded, all Getafe fans rushed into the stadium. They hug everyone they meet, they throw every Getafe player over their heads.

They sang and danced and cried and laughed.

Manuel Garcia once saw with his own eyes a white-haired old man who was estimated to be seventy years old, sitting on his seat covering his face with his hands, shrugging his crying shoulders. Weeping with joy.

If the team is relegated this season, then what we did on the day of the upgrade, the tears of that old fan crying with joy, wouldn't it all become the most ironic joke?

So no matter what, this scene cannot be allowed to happen.

But after changing three coaches in one season, it seems to be getting worse and worse. Getafe is like a leaky ship, slipping irrevocably towards the depths of the icy sea.

At this time, Chang Sheng came.

He became the head coach of the team with a lot of doubt and ridicule.

No one believed that he could really do it.

But he really did it!

Look at the cheers of everyone in front of you, they are actually dedicated to him...

Manuel Garcia goes to Chang Sheng in the crowd.

It didn't take him too long to find it, because it was so easy to find...

Isn't the one who spreads his arms in the air, kicks his feet wildly, and barks his teeth and claws like Chang Sheng?

He gets thrown high by the players, caught and thrown high again, and it repeats. Chang Sheng was yelling from above.

But no one can understand.

Chang Sheng shouted in his native language: "Damn it! You guys have to pick it up!"

He didn't dare to shout in Spanish because the only remaining reason told him that as a head coach, he should maintain enough majesty in front of his subordinates at all times - he has a slight fear of heights.

This kind of thing of being thrown into the sky, and then the ghost knows whether it is the arms of the players or the solid ground that falls next to him, makes him very insecure...

※※※

"Haha!" Crespo, who was commentating the game, laughed when he saw this scene, because Chang Sheng's movements of baring his teeth and claws in the air were so funny. Coaching profiles can vary widely.

"The Getafe players threw their coach up excitedly. It seems that they didn't succeed in relegation, but they won the championship! But I think I can understand the Getafe players' approach, This season is really too difficult for them! Now they were able to successfully relegation one round ahead of schedule...Of course, the biggest contributor to this is the Chinese coach Chang Sheng who was thrown up!"

"When Chang Sheng appeared as the head coach of Getafe's first team, everyone, including me, laughed at him and questioned him. He has been under tremendous pressure all the way up, and in the end he really succeeded in leading the team to avoid relegation! He It only took nine rounds of the league, and it was done! A completely inexperienced rookie completed the biggest miracle of the second division this season! Getafe's successful relegation will become one of the most precious memories of the second division this season!"

Crespo is really sparing no effort to praise Chang Sheng now, and he is not stingy with praise.

But the Getafe fans were delighted to hear him say that.

"That's right! Chang is the biggest hero!"

"I've already said that miracles often happen!"

"He changed my impression of Chinese..."

Go away with the team,

Getafe president Flores, who sat on the podium and watched the game with the home team president, also stood up after the game.

He first hugged the club president of Córdoba, accepted the congratulations from the other party for Getafe's successful relegation, and then stood on his seat and applauded.

Moscodo was next to him, applauding like him.

But the look on his face was really ugly.

He pursed his lips tightly, and under the cover of his lips, he clenched his teeth tightly.

A pair of eyes stared viciously at Chang Sheng who was constantly being thrown up by the players, praying in his heart that those players missed, and then he could find a new head coach for the first team next season...

But let him down.

After Chang Sheng was thrown back and forth by the players four times, he was firmly caught by the players for the last time, and then put down.

Oh shit! This kid is really lucky!

Moscow cursed inwardly.

According to the contract, he will hand over the transfer power to Chang Sheng starting from the new season.

He stared at Chairman Flores standing in front of him again.

He really couldn't figure out why Flores would agree to that kid's request.

Isn't it traditional for Spanish football clubs that transfer power rests with the club manager?

Any club chairman would reject Chang Sheng's proposal without hesitation, right?

But Flores agreed!

That old man must have committed Alzheimer's in advance! Damn it!

Now Moscow can only hope that Changsheng will not lead the team well in the new season, and then he can use this as an excuse to fire him without waiting until the end of the season. In the face of the facts, I believe that Flores will not hinder himself anymore.

It's the same this time, if it wasn't for Chang Sheng who can lead the team to relegation, even if he is really Flores' illegitimate son, it's useless, just get out!

Getafe avoided relegation one round ahead of time, which is very remarkable for a team that was still in the penultimate dying struggle before the nine rounds of the league.

But reporters don't want to get any stories from Getafe's coach about their early relegation round.

At the press conference after the game, Getafe went up to the head coach Chang Sheng, down to the ordinary coach Manuel Garcia, and no one attended the press conference.

Even on such a happy day for Getafe, they did not forget to continue to disgust the reporters.

Journalists frantically wanted to know more about Getafe's relegation story, but found nothing.

If it's just a game, they can also directly interpret the game. But now the matter of relegation obviously has little to do with the simple game. As long as the game is watched live, everyone knows what is going on, and there is no need for the media to describe it in words.

The stories behind the game... These are not things that can be seen by watching the game. They can usually pass the press conference, the club will report the situation, or ask the head coach questions at the press conference to obtain information.

Now this path has been directly cut off, and they have no second way to obtain it.

Initially, it was just the Getafe coaching staff who blocked them.

They found out later that even Getafe's players were ignoring them.

Ever since the internal strife was exposed by the media, the players of Getafe were also very dissatisfied with the media, so no player in the mixed zone was willing to stand up for interviews. Even after the usual training, they kept silent to the reporters. don't talk about it. The journalists who engaged in it vigorously criticized Chang Sheng's dictatorship in the newspapers, and even refused to allow the players to be interviewed.

But this set is even less lethal. Chang Sheng is not the first to give the players a password in front of the reporters, and there are others who have done more than him.

When the Getafe team bus left the stadium, there were smiles on everyone's faces.

But when these reporters left here, they were bitter and depressed.

They didn't expect that the uncrowned king of the world would stumble on a little Chinese rookie coach...

Chang Sheng was really ruthless enough to deal with them, but they really had nothing to do with him.

This sense of powerlessness makes them feel useless.

Are they really going to bow to that damn bastard?

But when they thought of that damned bastard's complacent look, these reporters gritted their teeth with hatred. They really didn't want this person to continue to be arrogant...

※※※

Chang Sheng didn't care how the reporters struggled. He was telling the players about his ambitions in the bus: "This season, we have already relegated, but this is just a starting point! You still want to repeat what you did this season next season." What to do? Anyway, I don’t want to! So in the new season, I want to make the team’s strength to a higher level! Getafe will no longer be a relegation team, we have to pursue higher goals!”

The players who were in a good mood also had the courage to joke with this young head coach who is usually very dignified and relentless in handling people.

"Higher goals, coach? You're not going to lead us to promotion?! Ha!" Popovich asked loudly.

The players around also laughed.

upgrade?

Fortunately, Popovich dared to say it!

If Getafe wants to upgrade, it will be more difficult than relegation!

So upgrading is definitely impossible...

They feel that the team may be in the middle of the league next season, and they don't have to worry about relegation. This is the best thing.

Even the coaches laughed.

But amidst the laughter, Chang Sheng smiled and said, "It's an upgrade!"

The laughter continued for a few seconds under the influence of inertia, and then stopped abruptly after a few seconds.

Everyone stared at Chang Sheng at the front, looking at him with the eyes of a monster or an alien.

However, what has improved compared to before is that no one looks at him as if he is mentally ill.

Even Popovich, who was joking with Chang Sheng, froze, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"You don't have to be so surprised, right?" Chang Sheng spread his hands.

"Chang, are you kidding..." Manuel Garcia pulled Chang Sheng's arm in surprise.

Rudy Gonzalez looked at Chang Sheng playfully.

He understood why Chang Sheng told him that Getafe's goal for next season was no longer relegation. It turned out that his ambition was so great!

This bastard... dare to think!

But when he was completely inexperienced, didn't he dare to think about what led such a group of bereaved dogs to successfully relegation?

At that time, the way everyone looked at him was probably the same as the way everyone looks at him today, or exactly the same?

But he did.

So next season, can he do it?

Rudy Gonzalez is suddenly interested and looking forward to the start of the new season.

Regardless of the final result, he feels that Chang Sheng should lead him to an unforgettable season...
