Chapter 164 Still underestimated (1800

What Celta fans are most worried about is losing the game away from home... text
The first three rounds of the Kings' games were determined by one game, and there was no such thing as losing on the road and going back to take the lead again at home.
So if they lose here, it means their Copa del Rey journey this season has come to an end.
This result is something no Celta fan is willing to accept.
They are not giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who can only focus on the league and European competitions. The Copa del Rey is the most important source of prize money and honor for teams like Celta Vigo. Their ideas are similar to others, which is to take advantage of the situation.

When the real giants don't focus on this game, if they work hard, they might even be able to win the King's Cup.
Winning the Copa del Rey is just the beginning, being able to participate in European competitions is what they pursue.
The winner of the King's Cup is eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup. Even if he does not win a single game in the UEFA Cup, he can still get a valuable bonus during the group stage - it is not worth mentioning for Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but for

For a team like Celta Vigo, that's a huge bonus.
Actually counting this season, Sale have suddenly participated in the UEFA Cup for three seasons. In the first two seasons, they finally reached the quarterfinals.
Such results are very outstanding, and they are also proof of Celta Vigo's outstanding performance in the past few years at the turn of the century.
This was also one of the reasons why Getafe was drawn against Celta Vigo and many people felt that Getafe was destined to lose.
Although Celta will have ups and downs in the future and will never regain the courage it once had. But today's Celta is still an out-and-out strong team.
Being able to participate in the UEFA Cup is a good thing for the Celta Vigo club's finances, so naturally no one is willing to be eliminated from the King's Cup so early. Although they can still qualify for next season's European competition by relying on their domestic league rankings

, but the King’s Cup is always double insurance.
But at this time, the development of things no longer depends on their will.
Their team's offensive attack was overwhelming, and every attack made Celta fans feel that they would definitely score a goal this time!
But every time I came back disappointed.
At first, they were still complacent, thinking that it would be easy for Celta to capture Getafe, that they could equalize the score soon, and then complete the reversal soon.
But as time went by and the end of the game got closer and closer, no goals were scored...
※ ※ ※
For Getafe fans, the game time seemed to pass extremely slowly amid Celta Vigo's indiscriminate bombardment.
Although they are very confident in Getafe's defense, their opponent is a team that is very strong even in Serie A. Everyone knows that Celta is good at attacking.
So it is inevitable that I will be a little worried.
Getafe's second goal came in the 65th minute of the game. Starting from the 66th minute, Celta's offensive was like a huge wave, rushing towards Getafe.
Every minute seems to last a century, and every attack by Celta Vigo makes them feel breathless.
This kind of suffering lasted until the 88th minute, when they saw the fourth official standing on the sidelines holding an electronic sign, and they realized that the game had come to an end...
And what about the score?
Many people turned to look at the score information on the big screen.
2:1!
The home team Getafe still leads!
Although embarrassed and frightened, we are still in the lead!
Yes, it will be difficult, but we are about to win!
The Getafe fans in the stands gave a huge cheer.
This burst of cheers was like a stimulant for Getafe, which was struggling to support itself. After the injection, everyone regained some strength.
In fact, defending against Celta Vigo's offense not only requires high physical fitness, the biggest pressure comes from psychology.
They always think about "never concede the ball" and "never concede the ball", which makes them nervous every time they face Celta Vigo's attack.
If things go on like this, this emotion will in turn affect Getafe's players, making them tired faster than usual.
Therefore, Getafe's physical energy was depleted very quickly in the final stage.
But the reason why they can endure so hard is because of their inner belief that they must win this game!
But being able to gain support from fans also gives them something more to persevere.
The cheers from these fans came very timely.
It also allowed the players to see that it was not long before the end of the game and victory was right in front of them!
※ ※ ※
Because the second half went smoothly, the injury time was three minutes, no more, no less, a very satisfactory stoppage time.
But Victor Fernandez had something to say. He opened his arms and complained to the fourth official: "The injury time is too little! Their celebration only lasted two minutes!"
The fourth official ignored him. He knew how Victor Fernandez was feeling now. The head coach of the lagging side must be wishing that stoppage time was infinite. When they score and reverse the game, when will it end?
But if you really do this, there will be no order in the football match.
Victor Fernandez also knew that running to the fourth official would not help. The opponent's stoppage time was quite satisfactory and there was no fault to be found.
He turned his attention to the court again.
Including injury time, there are less than five minutes left...
During this period of time, at least one more goal must be scored!
As long as we can equalize the score, we can drag this game into overtime.
According to his observation, Getafe's players are under tremendous pressure, mentally and physically. Their physical energy has been almost exhausted, and it is absolutely impossible for them to hold on for another thirty minutes. And they are so desperate.

Their goal is to win. They think that when the 90-minute game is over, they can win. All their thoughts are on this. If they find out that there will be another 30 minutes of overtime, they may collapse immediately.

Now.
Therefore, as long as Celta can drag the game into overtime, it can basically win the game.
He stared at the court, hoping that someone among the chaos would be able to make a contribution to Celta.
※ ※ ※
Celta Vigo's players also know this very well. As long as the game enters overtime, they will win, so their offensive becomes more and more fierce.
Despite their fierce offensive at first, Getafe's defense still stood firm and unmoving.
No matter how embarrassed they are, they will not let Celta Vigo score.
We are almost to the finish line. It would be really embarrassing if we fell before the finish line!
Although Getafe's players are more tired and under greater pressure than before, their defense is also stronger than before.
The ninety-minute mark came and the score was still 2:1.
In the first minute of injury time, even Celta Vigo goalkeeper Pinto almost rushed to the center circle.
After Getafe scored two goals in three minutes in the second half, they completely gave up attacking. So Pinto was actually tense for three minutes in the second half, and spent the rest of the time doing nothing.
But he never yawned in front of the camera again.
Now he is even more frowning, staring at Getafe's overcrowded penalty area.
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng begins his annoying performance.
Just as stoppage time entered, he pushed Jose Carlos Rodriguez Valero to the sidelines as if he had checked his watch.
He's going to change someone.
Soon there was a dead ball opportunity, and Getafe finally completed the substitution.
Midfielder Jose Carlos Rodriguez Valero replaced Luis Garcia.
Just when his front foot came on the court, Chang Sheng pushed another person to the sidelines.
This time it is the team's center back Ivan Outero, who was the team's first substitute at the center back position before Jose Passarella.
Of course, he is still the first substitute, but after Segura left, he was not able to occupy the main position.
Before the injury time of this game, Chang Sheng did not make a single substitution, no matter how hard his team was struggling.
He has reserved the three substitution places in his hand just for this purpose!
Delay the game time!
And it’s still aboveboard!
Sure enough, when he saw Chang Sheng had just changed one person and then pushed the second person to the sidelines, Victor Fernandez next to him was so angry that he gritted his teeth - couldn't you fucking replace him in one go?!<

/

Chang Sheng really can’t be replaced in one go.
Every time there is a substitution, the player being replaced takes half a minute to walk off.
The three minutes of injury time were half gone after he was so busy.
What else do you have enough time to do next?
And Celta's offensive will be interrupted because of this substitution.
This is the most terrible thing.
We finally organized an attack, and the momentum was at its peak. The referee signaled for substitutions on the sidelines, and when the opponent took their time to make substitutions, all momentum was gone.
Sure enough, during the second substitution, the replaced Getafe player Mista walked very slowly, as if he was exhausted.
Celta Vigo's players kept complaining to the referee, complaining that the opponent deliberately delayed the game.
Upon seeing this, Mista jogged two steps, and then pretended to be unable to run and walked two steps. Just like this, he ran two steps and walked two steps, and finally reached the sidelines. He also pretended to raise his arms and walked toward the stands.

The fans on the court applauded and walked around in a circle before hugging their teammates who were waiting to play.
This completes the entire substitution process.
More than half a minute passed...
※ ※ ※
Just moments after Mista was replaced, Chang Sheng pushed a third person to stand on the sidelines!
He is going to use the tactic of delaying the game to the end!
When Victor Fernandez saw this scene, his lungs almost exploded.
It’s so shameless!
But what can he do?
There was nothing he could do but continue futilely barking at the fourth official.
Because no one said that a football rule does not allow substitutions during injury time, and there is no rule that does not allow coaches to make substitutions one by one.
Chang Sheng made reasonable use of the rules and made Victor Fernandez depressed to the point of going crazy.
※ ※ ※
Crespo couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
Any coach can use substitutions in injury time to delay the game.
But using it so nakedly always beats the first one.
Other coaches either change people once and that's it, or they use up all the substitution quotas at once and substitute two or three people at the same time. Anyway, try not to do it too obviously, so as not to be caught by others.

Handle.
It's not like Chang Sheng, who calculated the time and made substitutions one after another, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was delaying the game.
Crespo is a smart man. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he knew why Chang Sheng did what he did.
He is seeking revenge for those who slighted him before the game!
Not only do I want to win you, I also want to disgust you to death!
He did not comment on Chang Sheng's approach, but just smiled and shook his head.
This young man... is only in the second division league now, and not many people know him. When he becomes the head coach of a first division team in the future, if he becomes more famous and becomes a well-known head coach in Europe, how many people will he make?

Does anyone have a headache?
※ ※ ※
Although Celta Vigo fans were unhappy with Chang Sheng's approach and kept cursing Chang Sheng's eighteenth generation ancestors, Chang Sheng was still proceeding step by step with his plan to delay substitutions.
Even if Celta's players don't want to give him a chance to substitute.
Because they can't always keep possession of the ball on their side.
The football will always fall to the opponent's feet.
For example, this shot was directly taken by Getafe goalkeeper Pablo.
After Pablo got the ball, without thinking, he just kicked the football towards the frontcourt.
However, the ball he kicked obviously missed the ball, and after it bounced once, it went out of the sideline.
Throw-in!
The dead ball opportunity for substitution comes again.
Celta's players wanted to throw it out directly, a quick throw-in.
But was stopped by the referee's whistle.
The referee signaled Getafe to make a substitution and asked them to wait.
The Celta Vigo players were helpless and angry. The player who threw the ball directly punched the football to the ground. After the football made violent contact with the ground, it bounced into the air.
Chang Sheng laughed proudly when he saw the Celta Vigo players acting like this off the court.
Fool, I wasted your time, not mine!
Sure enough, Getafe is slowly making substitutions here.
The referee over there even ran thirty meters to give a yellow card to the Celta Vigo player who was venting his anger!
The anxious Celta fans wanted to cry - Damn it! Hurry up and serve your throw-in, time is running out now! If you want to vent, go to them after the game is over!
※ ※ ※
When Victor Fernandez saw this scene, he closed his eyes in pain.
He had been unwilling to admit it before.
But now, he has to admit it.
His team failed.
Celta Vigo, who was considered to have received a good draw, unexpectedly lost and was eliminated.
He felt that he had paid enough attention to Getafe after falling behind, especially Getafe's defense, otherwise he would not have sent three main offensive players at once.
But now he feels that he still underestimated Getafe's defense...
Not long after the Celta Vigo player finally threw the clearance ball, the referee blew three whistles, declaring the end of the half game.
Getafe fans gave a huge cheer in the stands.
On the Getafe coaching bench and bench next to him, people swarmed onto the field and hugged the Getafe players on the field to celebrate the victory.
Everyone is venting their emotions.
But whether it was the whistle, the noise, or the cheers, everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
He, a young and promising head coach, was defeated by a head coach younger than him.
He turned to look at the young head coach who had rushed onto the court and was celebrating with his teammates. He had black hair, yellow skin, was not tall, and was wearing a suit with the Getafe logo. His front could not be seen.<

/

However, the opponent quickly turned around, allowing Victor Fernandez to see the winning side.
His smile was bright and exaggerated. Obviously, this victory also gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Victor Fernandez just watched, watched, watched.
It’s as if I want to see Chang Sheng’s appearance and everything about him in my mind.
He had a hunch that he might meet such a person again soon...
