Not long after the game started, it was obvious that Getafe was not going all out as Manuel Garcia said.
At least some players didn't give their best.
If Getafe's coach was still the winner, he would have rushed to the sidelines and roared.
But Manuel Garcia didn't do that. He just stood on the sidelines, frowning and looking at the court.
He seemed very helpless.
He sighed inwardly.
So he originally wanted Manuel Garcia to come to Valencia to help him. Because Garcia is really not suitable to be a head coach...
As a head coach, sometimes the test is not your level, but your personality.
Obviously, in the minds of these players, Manuel Garcia is not important.
※※※
Many Getafe players really feel that they will not go all out to win this game. After all, he is their head coach, and everyone shares the joys and sorrows together. Why haven't they overcome all the ups and downs?
There is no need to kill everyone at this time, right?
But reality soon gave them a cruel shot.
In the 24th minute, Valencia finally broke away from Getafe's defense.
Of course, it actually has something to do with Getafe's own wrong mentality.
Their midfielder Javi Jimenez passed the ball too carelessly in the midfield and was intercepted by Valencia player Alberda.
Valencia then launched a successful raid.
A wonderful pass from Guardiola to Carew.
Carew attempted a shot and chose to pass the ball.
The football fell to Vicente's feet. Vicente made a move to shoot, deceiving Getafe's right back Rondo to lose his center of gravity, and then Vicente passed the football.
It fell to the feet of Guardiola who stepped in from behind.
The former Barcelona captain took a shot, and this time it was for real!
The football directly penetrated the goal guarded by Pablo!
"1:0!! Beautiful! This is a winning Valencia attack! Use continuous passes to send the football to the most dangerous places, and then leave it to anyone to easily complete the task of scoring!" Commentator
Member Moen shouted.
Mestalla also erupted in deafening cheers.
Finally opened up!
※※※
After scoring a goal, Guardiola celebrated with a fist pump and did not run wildly. Generally speaking, he was not too excited. At his age, he has seen all kinds of ups and downs, so it is normal not to be excited.
But the teammates around him couldn't calm down.
They all rushed up and hugged him.
The situation on the sidelines is the same, everyone is celebrating the goal.
Only Chang Sheng didn't do this. He put his hands in his pockets and just stood on the sidelines, his expression unchanged, and he didn't even show his joy for the goal.
"That's great. Chang!! We are ahead!" A coach on the coaching bench wanted to pounce on Chang Sheng to celebrate his goal.
But Rudy Gonzalez hugged him first: "Yes! That's great! Oh!"
So no one came up to disturb Chang Sheng. He just put his hands in his pockets and looked at the celebrating Valencia players and the somewhat surprised Getafe players.
※※※
As the game continued, it was difficult for Getafe to counterattack after conceding a goal.
After all, they have fallen behind, and there is no point in holding on.
It always has to be pressed out and beaten.
So Getafe came out with a lot of fire in the first half, and Valencia scored two more goals.
As a result, Valencia led 3:0 at the end of the first half.
Although Jose Passarella and Carlos Campo worked hard and gave their best, how could they alone stop Valencia's powerful offensive?
You must know that Valencia's offense can open the door of Real Madrid five times.
If these two young men can shut down Valencia's attack, then Getafe will not be able to keep them no matter what they do.
In fact, the reason why players like Jose Passarella are called genius players under Chang Sheng's team is because Chang Sheng's defensive system has helped him as a whole.
The overall tactics compensated for Jose's many weaknesses and also highlighted his strengths.
He gives the impression that he is a genius.
But now that Chang Sheng has achieved success, the defensive tactical system inherited by Manuel Garcia is not particularly perfect. In addition, Manuel Garcia’s prestige is definitely not as good as Chang Sheng, so when the players on the court defend
Naturally, it is impossible to run and intercept without hesitation like last season. In this way, their support for Jose Passarella will not be enough.
On the other hand, maybe they think that Jose Passarella is enough to stand alone. After all, his performance in the second division last season was indeed outstanding. This has led to many times, no one will come to help Jose, leaving him
He is alone facing the bombardment of two or three people from the other side.
Jose Passarella's one-on-one defensive ability is indeed excellent, but it is difficult for a tiger to defeat a pack of wolves...
It's useless no matter how powerful he is.
In fact, the halo above Jose Passarella's head has dimmed a lot due to Getafe's results.
The media have said that Getafe's main central defender is nothing more than that. He performed well in the second division, but once he came to the higher level first division, his true colors were revealed.
The teams that were originally interested in Pacerella have become less interested.
※※※
As Moen said, this game basically lost its suspense.
And just like Chang Sheng said before the game, she really didn't give up in this game, but went all out.
So Getafe's players couldn't accept it - their former head coach actually showed no mercy to them during the game!
Doesn't he know that Getafe is already in the relegation zone?
Does he want to see the team he worked so hard to bring to the first division be relegated to the second division again?
When the first half ended, they were still left with questions.
※※※
During the halftime break, Manuel Garcia looked at these stunned Getafe players and sighed.
"I told you before the game, go all out, go all out, because your opponent will definitely go all out...Have you all forgotten who your head coach is? But it's okay now
, I think he taught you a very important thing, that is, if you still want to avoid relegation, don't expect anyone's help, you must rely on your own efforts. Your destiny must be in your own hands.
"
Garcia said to the players.
Many people raised their heads and looked at him this time. Apparently they listened to his words.
Seeing this scene, Garcia really didn't know what to think.
He is the head coach of the team, but his words obviously have little weight. Now these players are not listening because of what he said.
They were on the winning side in the first half when Valencia gave them a heavy blow.
If there hadn't been this first half, these players probably still wouldn't have taken his words to heart...
But now that we have lost three goals, what is the point of understanding this?
He no longer expected to stay.
Today will be his last game coaching Getafe.
The only pity is... twenty years...
"There is still half a game left in the game. Although we are already three goals behind, you must go all out in the last half of the game. Even if you lose, don't lose too badly!"
he finally said.
※※※
Reyes did not play in this game. He has been sitting on the bench and was occasionally called up to warm up.
Now he is very excited, even though the 3:0 score on the court has nothing to do with him.
But he found that his head coach is really a person who is consistent with his appearance and does what he says.
He said he should go all out. Did he really ask the players to go all out?
Reyes now recalls what Chang Sheng said to himself before the game against Sevilla.
Every sentence can pass from the ears to the heart.
※※※
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Getafe team's performance was much better than in the first half. This can be seen with the naked eye and does not require careful analysis at all.
Chang Sheng thought to himself, it seemed that the 3:0 score in the first half had an effect. It eliminated their last trace of illusion and luck.
But unfortunately, it is too late for Getafe to react now...
Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines and watched the entire game with a blank expression.
Valencia only scored one goal in the second half. It's not that Valencia didn't go all out, but it's obvious that Getafe's defensive toughness has improved, and it finally looks like it was the winning team back then.
They didn't seem to be pursuing goals anymore and were determined to defend the penalty area.
There was a bus parked in front of the goal.
With this kind of defense, even if Barcelona comes in the future, there may not be any good solutions, let alone the current Valencia team.
Although they are using tactics derived from tikitaka, the imitations are imitations...
After all, the power is limited.
So they only scored one goal in the second half.
But even so, Valencia defeated Getafe 4:0 at home and achieved another victory.
And Getafe is sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire of relegation - even though it is only the first half of the season...
※※※
After the game, many Getafe players flocked to Chang Sheng and hugged him, expressing their memory and support for their coach in this way.
Carlos Campo also planned to rush over, but he found that his friend beside him did not move. He asked strangely: "What's wrong, aren't you going?"
Jose Passarella shook his head: "I won't go."
"Why? Aren't we just waiting for this opportunity?"
Passarella looked at the excited teammates and said, "I won't go. I'll lose the game and I won't be able to see the boss."
Carlos Campo looked at Jose Passarella with wide eyes: "Don't tell me that you were thinking about defeating Valencia in an away game before..."
Passarella shook his head: "No, but I didn't expect to lose so miserably. Look at them, losing so miserably, but still smiling so happily... I can't do it anyway. I would rather not hug the boss,
Don’t do that either.”
Carlos Campo looked at him hesitantly, as if he wanted to go, but he didn't want to leave his friend behind.
Jose Passarella understood his thoughts and smiled at him: "Go ahead and don't worry about me."
Carlos Campo hesitated again, but finally chose to stay: "Forget it, I won't go either. It's boring. Our feelings for the boss don't need to be expressed through such superficial actions."
Jose Passarella chuckled, making Campo feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's go back to the locker room." He said.
Campo nodded.
The two people walked side by side to the players' tunnel. They seemed a little out of place in the lively background.
