After the game against Osasuna, the next step is the thirteenth round of the league. Valencia welcomes this season's newly promoted Getafe at home!
This is a very special game for Chang Sheng and Getafe.
Because this is the first time Chang Sheng meets his old club after he left.
There are too many stories between him and Getafe, which are no longer easily defined by the concepts of team and head coach.
After returning from Osasuna, the media in Getafe and the media in Valencia began to hype this game.
Unlike other competitions, this kind of hype lacks a lot of gunpowder and is full of warmth.
The Valencia media believed that Getafe could not threaten their team's victory, so they were naturally willing to show more smiles.
The other party can't win anyway, so if you sell it well to others, everyone will enjoy it, so why not do it?
What Getafe is thinking more about is not the game at all, but this reunion with Chang Sheng.
Watching Valencia rank first in the league under the leadership of Chang Sheng, they were able to beat Real Madrid 5:0 at home and draw 2:2 away from Barcelona.
Such an outstanding performance makes people in Getafe sigh and stomp their feet when they think of Chang Sheng's helpless departure.
So at this time, many people in Moscow would be caught and flogged.
If it weren't for Moscow, maybe Getafe would be enjoying the glory of Valencia now?
It's hard to say, but it's really possible.
Chang Sheng's success in Valencia proved his ability.
Everyone in Getafe is happy for his success. After all, he started in Getafe and graduated from Getafe. His constant success also makes the people of Getafe happy.
Talking about it in the future, "Do you know who always wins? That top coach... That's right! He came from our Getafe! When he coached in our Getafe, he was still an inexperienced rookie! But now you look at it
?The world’s top coach!”
How glorious that is!
It is an honor to win, and we at Getafe are also honored.
So the media in Getafe are very excited when they mention winning.
Although Chang Sheng only stayed in this small city for just two years, he was already a part of this city.
When the media interviewed Chang Sheng before the game, they also wanted Chang Sheng to talk about how it felt to reunite with his old club.
"This is amazing." Chang Sheng answered reporters' questions at the team's regular press conference in midweek. "A few months ago, I was the head coach of Getafe, and now I am going to fight as an opponent.
I know how the local media in Getafe reported me, and I thank them for their love. But before the game, I don’t want to talk too much. After all, I am now the head coach of Valencia. I only have one sentence about Getafe.
What I want to tell them is: Remember this is a league game, Valencia and Getafe are rivals. I will ask my team to go all out, so I also hope that Getafe will go all out. To the enemy,
Never show mercy!"

"Never show mercy to the enemy? Who is he lying to?" After hearing Chang Sheng's words, some reporters couldn't help but hum, with a strong sense of disdain.
It's not just these reporters who don't believe it.
Even the players from Valencia and Getafe didn't really believe it.
Chang Sheng really has very good memories in Getafe. He made Getafe famous in Spain. On the other hand, Getafe took him in when he was desperate and gave him a stage to display his talents.
For him, Getafe may no longer be as simple as a "former club".
It should be the destination for many of his feelings, just like... "home".
So the Valencia players didn't believe that their coach would really ask them to go all out to defeat Getafe.
It was Reyes who remembered the game against Sevilla during everyone's discussion.
Chang Sheng told him before the game that if he meets Getafe, he will definitely let the team go all out.
He remained silent during everyone's discussion. He just wanted to see if Chang Sheng would really do this.
If he doesn't, to be honest, Reyes will be a little disappointed.
Because he asked himself to work so hard, but he failed to do it...it is inevitable that there will be some double standards.
Reyes hopes that his head coach is a person who is consistent on the inside and outside, and how he demands of others must be what he demands of himself.
There are similar discussions within the Getafe team.
Many players who have played under Chang Sheng for a season honestly don't believe that Chang Sheng can only endure it and go all out.
Based on the strength comparison between the two teams, if Changsheng really goes all out, Getafe may have to lose a big score in the away game.
But in that case, is it really what Chang Sheng wants to see?
Getafe lost to Valencia by a big score in the away game, will they be happy if they win often?
Therefore, many people think that Chang Sheng is just telling reporters to prevent reporters from saying that he wants to let things go.
But actually... when it comes to the competition, he will definitely show mercy.
Even for the sake of everyone fighting side by side in the past, he should be merciful.
Getafe's performance in the new season is not good. Although they have only started the twelfth round of the league, they are already heading for relegation.
As the second division champion, this performance is really heartbreaking.
But this is really a helpless thing.
Getafe left their head coach, and the whole team seemed to have lost its backbone.
That's not all, because they won the King's Cup last season, so they can participate in the UEFA Cup this season. At that time, many Getafe fans thought this was a good opportunity for them. This country team could finally go to
After a trip to the European arena, they even began to imagine the grand occasion of those European giants coming to the Alfonso Perez Stadium to participate in games.
But now it seems that participating in the UEFA Cup may not be a good thing for Getafe.
Because they have to be distracted and fight on two fronts.
So should we go all out in the league or go all out in the UEFA Cup?
Getafe chose to go all out in the UEFA Cup.
In addition to the excitement that false fame brings to Getafe, financial benefits are also essential.
In the UEFA Cup, if you don't win a game, you can bring a lot of money to the team.
If you can advance to the next round, there will be additional bonuses.
This made Getafe jealous.
Therefore, with the intervention of the club's board of directors, the Getafe team adjusted its strategic focus to the UEFA Cup.
This also led to them losing consecutive games in the league.
At the cost of giving up the league, they successfully passed the first round of the UEFA Cup.
At that time, many Getafe fans shouted long live.
As a result, their good luck in the UEFA Cup quickly ran out.
They were eliminated cleanly in the second round.
Full of goals. They only played four games in the UEFA Cup.
The price paid is indeed second to last in the league.
Such results are really difficult for fans who are still immersed in the glory of winning games to accept.

Carlos Campo touched Jose Passarella's shoulder: "What do you think?"
"Don't think about it. The boss's team will definitely go all out. If we don't take it seriously, I think we will be beaten by Valencia without any power to fight back." Jose Passarella shrugged,
Seems very calm.
"I also think the boss will definitely go all out... This seems to be his style." Carlos Campo and his friends have the same idea.
"But I actually hope he lets it go... We need a victory now..."
Jose Passarella glanced at his friend: "Victory is earned by one's own efforts, not relying on charity from others. You have been following the boss for so long, and you still don't understand this?"
Carlos Campo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's just a hope...a fantasy...a longing...anyway, I know it's impossible to realize, but I still can't help but think about it."
Jose Passarella stood up from the bench in the locker room. He had already changed into training clothes.
"Don't think about it. I think the two of us will have a very heavy task in the game, Carlos. If you are repeatedly broken through by the opponent due to lack of preparation, it will be very difficult for me." Jose Passare
La said to Carlos Campo.
Campo glared at him: "Don't make it sound like I'm weak! I'm telling you! I will make sure the Valencia people never come back!"
"Who cares? Just keep the ball."
Passarella patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Let's go to training."

The day before the game, the last training session.
Chang Sheng was anxious to get all the players together before the training started. He had something to say.
"Originally, I should have a list of the lineup for tomorrow's game, but actually I don't. Because I want to observe again. In this last training, I will know who is giving their best and who is sneaking around.
See it in your eyes and keep it in your heart. There is only one criterion for me to be selected for the main lineup, and that is training attitude. So you have one last chance to prove yourself. Don’t think that what I said at the regular mid-week press conference is all true.
Nonsense. I'm serious - everyone must give me their best in this game! If someone doesn't do it, then I'm sorry, the b-team's weekly tour is in hot registration, waiting for you to participate. Dear
.”
Chang Sheng told cold jokes with a straight face.
No one can laugh.
Because they found out that they were so wrong before, the head coach was obviously serious...
Thinking back to what they did before Chang Sheng, these players couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva.
They absolutely believe in what the head coach can do.
The B team has now become synonymous with punishment for the players of the first team, and no one wants to get into trouble with this.
Chang Sheng looked at a group of silent players and was very satisfied with the impression he had left on these players, and then he nodded.
"Remember what I said, start training now!"
The players went to train, but they still inevitably murmured in their hearts - does the head coach really not care about the past relationship? Faced with his old club that is now in trouble, is he really going to take action?
But with his ruthless attitude towards dealing with players, maybe he can really do it...
Only Reyes felt that he should not be more wrong.
This is a head coach who does what he says and is consistent with his words!

ps, it’s the last day, hold on and fight until the last moment!
