Just when the constant victory requires the players to go all out, Getafe's head coach Manuel Garcia is also solemnly reminding his players not to take any chances in the weekend's game.
"Don't think that Chang, who was once your head coach and shared adversity with the team, will show mercy to you. You have been with him for a season, don't you still understand what kind of person he is? I see Chang.
He is the person who has the strongest dedication to victory. If not, how could he have led Getafe to become the league champion? If not, how could he have led Getafe to defeat powerful enemies and win the Copa del Rey?"
"So don't take any chances and think that Valencia should be friendly to us just for this game. If you think so, Chang here will definitely drive you all to the B team!"
They were eliminated from the UEFA Cup, were eliminated from the Copa del Rey in the first round, and were ranked second to last in the league.
In fact, head coach Manuel Garcia is the one who should be merciful in hoping to win often.
Because if he loses this game again, he will most likely lose his position as coach.
Just last week, the club's new general manager had spoken to him.
Very dissatisfied with his performance in leading the team.
The club cannot sit back and watch the team slide step by step towards the abyss of relegation. When the time comes or if necessary, extraordinary measures will be taken, such as...
They didn't actually say it.
But Manuel Garcia knows exactly what it is.
What else could it be... just being fired.
With such results, he was dismissed. Manuel Garcia did not complain.
It's just that... if he is fired, he will obviously not be able to continue serving as a coach in Getafe. If he is fired, he will have to leave the team.
Then find a job again...
It's a pity that I stayed in Getafe for twenty years.
"To be honest, I don't expect you to win this match, but I hope you play with dignity."
Finally, he said.
But after all, he does not win often. His influence within the team is really limited. How many of his words have been listened to by the players?
I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know.

Valencia's home match against Getafe is coming soon.
From the formation of troops, it can be seen that Chang Sheng really has no intention of letting go.
Except for Ibrahimovic who continues to sit on the bench, the other players who can play are the main players who have played the most games.
Forward Villa and Carew.
The right midfielder Mendieta, the left midfielder Vicente, and the two defensive midfielders are Guardiola and Albelda.
The center back combination is Carvalho and Ayala. The left back is Aurelio and the right back is Ferreira. The goalkeeper is Canizares.
This is Valencia's main lineup in recent times.
Because Aimar was relegated to the cold palace.
The media had also reported on this matter. Chang Sheng did not give Aimar any reason to cover it up. He directly said that it was because Aimar disclosed the internal affairs of the team to reporters and showed Aimar a lesson.
At that time, many Argentinian media were very dissatisfied with Chang Sheng. They thought Chang Sheng was making a fuss out of a molehill, and wasn't he just exposing the internal affairs of the team? As for doing this?
Chang Sheng didn't care about the opinions of the Argentine media. He didn't explain much. How the media interpreted it was their business. He had so many things to do every day that he didn't have time to bicker with these gray grandsons every day.
This is not because he is afraid of the media. He is not afraid of anyone when it comes to talking.
The key is that talking takes time.
Journalists are all professionals in gossiping and gossiping. Although I am better than them, I don’t have time.
This stuff takes a lot of time.
So Amar was forgotten.

While the players from both sides were waiting to play, the coaches and players on the bench were already in their places.
After Chang Sheng appeared on the stage, the media's cameras and camera lenses were focused on him.
In this game, winning is the real focus.
More than 20 reporters carrying cameras and cameras surrounded Chang Sheng and took pictures non-stop.
Chang Sheng regarded these reporters as nothing, and instead of going to the home team's coaching bench, he went straight to the visiting team's coaching bench.
There, former colleague Manuel Garcia and other coaches were there.
When Chang Sheng was several meters away, he opened his arms and made a hug gesture. Then he hugged everyone one by one.
He hugged Manuel Garcia tightly and patted his back hard: "I understand your situation, Manuel. But in this game, I will never show mercy! Just like I won't
I will show mercy to Atletico Madrid even though I have already won the championship. I hope you can also understand me."
Manuel Garcia nodded with a wry smile: "Of course I know, Chang. In fact, I already knew you would do this. Your pursuit of victory is almost paranoid. We will do the same in this game.
Go all out.”
Chang Sheng nodded, hugged Manuel Garcia hard again, then let go and faced the other coaches.
Greet them one by one, hug them, and shake hands.
At the end of the day, many of Getafe's veteran players came up to hug Chang Sheng on the bench.
A group of reporters followed and took pictures of everything.
※※※
Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella stood in the queue, waiting to appear.
They could only see a patch of heaven and earth as big as the entrance of the passage, but they also knew what was happening outside.
Because just now they saw a large group of reporters rushing past the entrance of the passage, seemingly surrounding someone.
No need to guess, you know that the people around them must be victorious.
Aside from the constant wins, who else is so attractive in this game?
"Oh, I suddenly want to be a substitute for the first time..." Campo looked at the chaotic crowd outside and sighed. "This way at least I can have a chance to hug the boss..."
Jose Passarella glanced at him: "There will be a chance after the game."
Campo then reacted: "Yes! After the game, no matter what the result is, I have to go and hug the boss!"
"Let me go first," Passarella said.
"I'll go first!"
"Boss means something different to me, so I have to go first."
Mista in front noticed the conversation between the two people: "What are you fighting about? Who pays first when fighting for food?"
Campo rolled his eyes at him: "We are discussing who will hug the boss first after the game!"
Mista sneered and said: "Idiot! After the game, there will definitely be a lot of people running to find the coach. What's the priority? Everyone goes. Whoever gets it first will be lucky!"
The two people looked at each other, and then Carlos Campo slapped his forehead: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Mista looked at Campo with a "because you're an idiot" look.
Campo doesn't mind either. Hehe Zhile: "Then after the game is over, I will pounce on it as soon as possible, haha! No one wants to overtake me!"
※※※
Chang Sheng quickly hugged everyone. Then he returned to his coaching bench, folded his hands on his chest, and sat in his seat.
He was surrounded by reporters, and the cameras in their hands were all pointed at him.
Chang Sheng glanced at these reporters, his face expressionless.
He had only seen this scene on TV and newspapers before. When a famous coach appears, he will always become the focus of reporters.
In the past, he could only do it in his mind. He was surrounded by the media and became the focus and center of everyone.
Now when everything was realized, he felt that it was nothing more than that, not as good as he imagined.
So he kept a straight face and gave the media a very cool expression.
※※※
The game soon started with deafening cheers at the Mestalla Stadium.
In this game, Getafe naturally played all their main players. However, their main lineup is still different from the main lineup that won last season.
Their main midfielder Senna left, and Yaya Toure stepped up.
In terms of formation, Manuel Garcia was very faithful and continued his winning tactics.
433 defensive counterattack.
But the consequence of this is that due to the lack of good enough players, the effect of this is not very good.
First of all, in terms of offense, Getafe is missing Luis Garcia and Balzaretti.
These two were the top two players in the Getafe team in terms of assists last season.
One thing they have in common is that they are all on loan. After one season, they all returned to their original clubs.
It's not like Manuel Garcia didn't use his brain to recruit them all. But all the winning streaks are gone. What hope does this team have?
Moreover, compared with Getafe, Barcelona is obviously more attractive, so it is normal for Luis Garcia to choose to return to Camp Nou instead of Getafe.
Balzaretti was also taken back by the Turin team because of his outstanding performance in Getafe. Turin saw his value from his performance last season and planned to keep it for themselves rather than give it to Getafe.
Although Balzaretti enjoyed his season in Getafe, he still loved the "Red Bull" Turin deep down in his heart. In the time and space before Changsheng traveled through time, he was originally a hero,
He had been playing for the Turin team until Turin was relegated and went bankrupt. He was willing to fight with Turin, but he did not wait for the contract in Turin and had no choice but to leave.
This shows his feelings for Turin. Turin said they wanted to keep him, so no matter how happy he was at Geta, he would not leave Turin.
It's just a pity that after Getafe lost these two offensive cores, this offense can't have the momentum and feeling of last season.
Charisteas and Mista continued to stay in the team, but they lacked support from the midfield and backfield, and their number of goals dropped significantly.
In the past, Getafe's offense was heavily left-leaning, and they basically relied on Luis Garcia and Balzaretti to launch the offensive.
These two individuals accounted for more than half of the team's total assists.
This shows their importance in the team's offense.
Now that both of them are gone, Getafe's offensive quality has dropped by two levels.
Now they can only rely on tenacious defense to deal with their opponents, and then they drive forward and kick to Charisteas, using his header and height to ferry the football to Mista.
This is Getafe's current defensive counterattack routine.
Very simple and commonplace.
Nothing special.
Such a team simply cannot succeed in the fiercely competitive La Liga.
So it’s normal for them to have poor grades...
※※※
As if to prove that he was really not joking and really meant what he said, Valencia launched a fierce attack on Getafe's goal at the beginning of the game.
Getafe, on the other hand, can only shrink its defense and use the same defensive tactics they used last season to prevent the opponent from scoring.
This may be the only useful thing that Ever Victory has left for Getafe, and the only thing that can be used.
Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
With this kind of performance, let alone getting closer, it will be difficult to even avoid relegation.
In his original plan, if he could stay in Getafe, he would never play this kind of defensive counterattack again.
Just like he did against Mallorca in the Copa del Rey final, he will devise a tikitaka tactic that suits Getafe.
We don't want to be as invincible as Barcelona, but at least we can allow the team to survive in the First Division.
Now, the most common defensive tactics have been thoroughly studied by opponents. In this way, Getafe can only compete with the level of players, but in this regard, Getafe is simply inherently weak...
The fate of some teams, like people, seems to be predestined.
Luis Garcia had his own help and finally returned to Barcelona after a detour.
And what about Getafe?
Even if I brought them a league championship, a King's Cup championship, and promoted them to the First Division several years in advance.
But as if they were proving that they shouldn't be here, they tried their best to get into the relegation zone and disappeared in one swift move.
The inertia of history...is really a terrible thing.
But Chang Sheng didn't feel insignificant or inferior in front of these invisible hands.
Because he came to this reality just to change his own destiny. As long as the destiny related to himself was reversed, he would reverse it!
Even if the opponent is so powerful that his fate is unknown, so what?
