Chapter 23 The Stage Is Set, Just Waiting for the Main Character to Come
Although Chang Sheng has yet to lead the youth team to a game, he is now a household name in the Getafe region.
Because overnight, his picture appeared in the local newspaper of Getafe, and the recording of his interview outside the training ground was also repeatedly played by the local radio station.
All Getafe people know that their youth team has such a crazy head coach.
And very unflattering.
It's not easy for a coach who just came to his new club to be disliked by so many people without even playing a single game...
※※※
When Chang Sheng planned to go to training the next day, he met the club's manager Vicente Moscodo first.
The manager came to him angrily, which was obviously not a good thing.
But Chang Sheng seemed to be unable to see the anger on the manager's face, and still greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Manager. Why are you free to come to the youth team today? Don't you always pay more attention to the first team?" ..."
"Shut up, Chinese! You have to explain this to me!" Vicente Moscodo threw a newspaper in front of Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng looked down, his photo was published in the newspaper, and there was a sentence below: "A game that determines fate!"
He understood at once what was going on.
But he didn't say anything right away.
It is often seen in Moscow that Chang Sheng stays silent after reading the newspaper, a little proud and a little annoyed: "What's the matter, can't speak?"
Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng raised his head and pointed at his tightly closed mouth with his finger.
Vicente did not realize the meaning of the gesture.
Chang Sheng continued to point at his mouth without saying a word.
Moscow's patience was exhausted, he shouted to Chang Sheng: "Speak! Are you dumb?"
With Moscow's permission, Chang Sheng almost pissed off the manager with his first sentence.
"It was you who told me to shut up just now, Mr. Manager... I had no choice but to shut up and keep silent until I got your next order."
"You..." Vicente Moscodo was completely speechless. After waiting for a long time, you finally choked out a sentence: "It would be great if you could be so obedient! I want you to explain to me what is going on with the media reports... You were the one who told the media about the game ?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes."
"Why did you tell them? Don't you know that the media are simply carrion vultures! Do you still think that our Getafe club is not chaotic enough?" Moscow didn't expect Chang Sheng to admit it so simply, his This kind of self-confidence made Moscow even more angry, and he roared at Chang Sheng. He really wanted to swear...
Facing the manager's anger, Chang Sheng didn't care. He shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Isn't this good? Don't worry about my bad debts... You see, Mr. Manager, the entire Getafe is now Now that I know this, even if I want to renege on the debt, I can't. Once I really lose, I have to pack my bags and leave..."
Vicente Mosco was stunned for a moment, and then he found that what Chang Sheng said was indeed reasonable. After this matter was fired, the most embarrassing person was not the Getafe club, but Chang Sheng, the head coach of the youth team.
Anyway, in his opinion, it is impossible for Gorka to be as unbearable as Chang Sheng said. In the end, the one who loses must always win.
That being the case, what is he still struggling with?
Thinking of this, he didn't bother Chang Sheng any more—what's the point of making trouble for a dead person? Just wasting your time and energy.
He snorted, turned and walked away.
Behind him, Chang Sheng was making faces at him.
He doesn't like this manager, maybe Vicente Moscodo is doing it for the benefit of the club, but Chang Sheng just doesn't like it,
Who made you question me and challenge me again and again?
※※※
After dismissing, or rather exasperating, the club manager Moscodo, Chang Sheng came to the training ground of the youth team, ready to start a day of training. But before the training started, he had to do one thing first.
He took Jose Passarella and told Angulo to change Jose's position. There are two coaches for the youth team. Segulo is mainly responsible for offensive training, while Angulo is mainly responsible for defensive training. Jose was in charge of Segulo before, but now it will be in charge of Angulo.
Angulo looked at Chang Sheng with some surprise—they had trained Jose for more than two seasons, and he didn't see that Jose had any defensive talent.
Chang has only been here for a few days, how did he see it?
However, Jose himself did not raise any objections. He expressed his wish to play in a different position. Since the players themselves did not object, it is natural for him as a coach to say nothing.
Then start from this training session and put Jose in the defensive group.
Jose returned to the team, and Carlos came up: "Jose, what kind of central defender are you really going to play?"
Carlos Campo is a defensive midfielder, a purely defensive midfielder-today's football does not emphasize omnipotence as much as football in the future, and now the division of labor in football is very clear, and everyone requires specialization in terms of position , not omnipotent, so a pure midfielder like Carlos Campo may not be very flattering in the future, but now he is the main force of the youth team.
Jose came to the defensive team, so he could be with Carlos, but Carlos was a little worried. Because he didn't see that Jose has any defensive talent...
Jose nodded: "Yes."
"The Chinese said that you have defensive talent, do you believe it?"
"It doesn't hurt to try. Anyway, it can't be worse than this." Jose shrugged, looking very open.
Carlos looked at his friend: "Your height is enough, but your body is not strong enough..."
"The head coach also talked about this issue. He told me to make more use of blocking and anticipation instead of relying solely on physical defense."
"It's easy to say, and I can do it, but how can I do it?"
"Practice," Jose said, and ran off to warm up.
Carlos looked at Chang Sheng, he didn't understand why the Chinese would suddenly want his friend to run to train some central defender. I just hope that this Chinese man's whim doesn't completely ruin his friend's future...

On the way from the youth team training ground to the Alfonso Perez Stadium, Vicente Moscodo received a call from Gorka's father, in which he also mentioned that the media reported this matter. But he didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, he hoped that the club would hype up the game.
For this reason, he also hopes that the club can announce the details of the game to everyone, and invite some media reporters to watch the game live. Therefore, it is better to move this game to Las Margarita Stadium, because there is only one grandstand there.
He realized that this would be a great opportunity for his son. For his son, entering the first team is not the end. He hopes that his son can get the main position. Then this game is such a good opportunity.
With the attention of so many people, as long as his son performs well in this game, he can take advantage of the situation to rise.
With so many media witnesses, it may not be a problem for my son's reputation to spread across half of Spain overnight!
Thinking of this future, he was very excited, so he quickly called Moscow, for fear that the club would deny the existence of this game.
Not only cannot it be denied now, but it has to be vigorously promoted.
Be sure to let more people know about this game and be interested in this game. It would be even better if it could attract the attention of Vallecano, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
He doesn't think that his son should waste his life in Getafe. As long as the time is right, Gorka will still jump out and go to a broader stage to pursue his future.
This game is bound to be the start of it all!
Now he is especially grateful to that idiot from China. If he hadn't been forced by the media and said such things in a hurry, how could he have found such a good opportunity?
Use this game to completely push his son to the front of the Spanish football stage, and drive away that damned idiot at the same time.
That was the whole plan of Gorka's father.
It's just that he didn't tell Moscow more about these plans. He just hoped that Moscow could help publicize this matter.
Moscodo is also planning this now, and decided to vigorously publicize the game so that Chang Sheng will not be able to come to the stage. He could vaguely feel that the chairman of the club, Flores, seemed to have a good impression of Chang Sheng. Otherwise, why would he interview this unknown person in person?
Of course he cannot directly confront the club chairman, but he can use the power of the media to keep the club chairman from interfering in his affairs.
So the more the media hype, the more difficult it will be for club chairman Flores to intervene.
He didn't know the real intention of Gorka's father, but now the two hit it off.
He promised Gorka's father that the club will definitely promote the game vigorously.
※※※
In addition to Gorka's father pushing this matter, Gorka himself also contributed a lot. After finishing first-team training, Gorka was mobbed by the media.
Everyone asked him if there was such a game.
Gorka didn't deny it at all, and made a bold statement, saying that he would prove his ability in this game, and let some guys with ulterior motives shut their mouths forever!
What he said made the surrounding reporters couldn't help applauding.
It seems that the victory has already belonged to Gorka in advance.
And soon the Getafe club also publicly admitted that such a game did exist.
They also explained the reason for the game and invited the media to watch the game. Interested media can apply to the club. After the application is approved, the club will send them an invitation letter to enter the venue with the letter.
In addition to the media, there will be 150 lucky fans who will be eligible to watch the match.
From the feedback situation, it is said that the application is hot.
The club seemed to have turned it into a total carnival, not worried that Gorka would fail, and invited so many people just to witness a rising star.
Moscow is also happy to see such hype, and the reputation of the Getafe club will start. Getafe Club is considered a very young club in Spanish professional football. They need to expand their influence, and this is an excellent opportunity.
Just as Gorka's father expected, with the joint efforts of many parties, the stage for making his son famous in the world has been set up, just waiting for the protagonist to appear on the stage!
※※※
Time passed day by day.
The new season's La Liga has begun. Getafe has not won one game in four games, tied two games and lost two games. Fans were not happy with the team's performance and even first-team coach Juan Antonio López Moreno felt the pressure.
Although it's only two games, if this decline is not reversed, he will be dismissed sooner or later.
Fortunately, Gorka was transferred to the first team, which successfully diverted the interest of Getafe fans. Gorka and the coach of the youth team, the two of them distributed most of the pressure for Juan Lopez.
Now he can also laugh and chat with people in training, teasing Gorka who was scared by the screaming of female fans.
He also hopes that the arrival of Gorka can inject fresh blood into the team and bring a breath of fresh air.
Of course, he doesn't expect Gorka to help the team win the game, but he thinks it will be a shot in the arm for the team.
With the addition of high-profile talent, other players will be inspired too, right?
The only trouble is that during the league break, they still have to find time to play a game with the youth team.
He originally disapproved of playing this game, because the practice of thinking that adding games would make his team more tired.
However, considering his poor performance in leading the team recently, it is better for him to speak less on such matters. So he finally agreed to the arrangement.
Now that you have agreed, you have to prepare, right?
No, Juan Lopez hadn't even tried to prepare for this match. In his mind, what threat can the youth team pose? There was Gorka in the youth team before, which was the only thing he valued. Now that Gorka is also in the first team, what else does the youth team have? He has already made up his mind. Although he can't object to this arrangement, he can use another method to preserve the physical fitness of his team's main players, which is to let the substitute players play this game so that the main players can get enough rest time.
In his opinion, letting the substitute play this game to win the youth team is also a sure thing.
So what else is there to prepare for?
On the day of the game, just order eleven people to go up and kill the youth team, and it's over.
※※※
It's a different scene in the youth team - all the youth team players are training in full swing.
Because they know that this game is the key to whether the victorious coach can stay in the club.
Even those Gorka's former "hunters and dog friends" are the same. After Gorka resolutely left the look that the youth team gave them, they had completely broken with Gorka.
In addition, most youth team players like the coach Chang Sheng and don't want him to leave. In order to keep him, they are willing to pay a hundredfold effort.
Another impetus was their distaste for Gorka.
Many youth team players remember Gorka's expression and demeanor when he left the youth team and went to the first team.
That triumphant expression deeply pricked the hearts of these players - it's just that they went to the senior team earlier than everyone else, what's there to be proud of? It seems that you are as good as you are awesome, but if we hadn't contributed silently to you behind the scenes, would you have today? Now that we have promoted you, you were kicked by us in a blink of an eye?
They wanted Gorka to understand that even if he was a genius, they could drag him into the mire, and after a few laps in it, he would be just like them... no, not even as good as them!
