Changsheng said that the players should forget the past three consecutive victories and prepare well for the next brutal game.
He was right, the next two league games were very cruel.
The previous games against Osasuna, Villarreal, and Las Palmas were not actually life and death battles.
Because even if Getafe loses to these teams, it may not have a fatal impact on them.
They can lose to these teams, and their relegation rivals can also lose to other teams. This opportunity is equal for both sides.
In fact, just when they were winning consecutive games, their direct competitors in relegation lost the game.
Otherwise, how could they go from second to last in the league to fourth to last?
The results of both parties are changing and influencing each other.
Now that Getafe has a draw and a loss, its ranking has changed from the fourth to the bottom to the third from the bottom, and it seems to be further away from the relegation zone. The elevating rule of the Spanish Football League B is "up three and down four", which is the former
Three were promoted and the last four were demoted.
Because they lost the ball, but their competitors won the ball.
But Getafe must win the next two games.
The opponent in the 38th round is Compostela, currently ranked 17th in the league, but from 16th to 20th, the points gap between these teams is not big. It is only a four-point gap.
That's all.
Compostela currently has 39 points, exactly three points behind Getafe, which is ranked 20th.
If Getafe can defeat Compostela, it will tie its opponent in points and suddenly go from the 20th place in the bottom three of the league to the 17th place - provided that all other teams lose -
—Then we are out of the relegation zone.
But even without such a perfect situation, winning this game can help Getafe have a chance to avoid relegation.
In the thirty-ninth round of the league, Getafe defeated Huelva, the second-last team, away from home.
Huelva was originally ranked third from the bottom, but due to Getafe's outstanding performance in these rounds, they were pushed to the second last. It can be said that they are a direct victim of Getafe's recovery.
Therefore, they will definitely want to beat Getafe at home in this game, and the gap between the two sides is only two points.
If Getafe loses in the 38th round and Huelva wins, Getafe will be dropped to the second to last in that round.
If they lose to Huelva again, they will really be unable to climb out of the relegation quagmire.
Therefore, Getafe must win these two games. If they win the first game, they can tie with Compostela who is 17th. If they win the second game, they can kick their opponents into the abyss of relegation.
Taking advantage of the momentum, it is getting further and further away from the quagmire of relegation.
Then the remaining opponents in the last three rounds of the league are all teams that have no hope of promotion and no worries about relegation. They have nothing to ask for and are much better than these two games.
Getafe planned this, and their opponents in these two games also planned this.
Everyone wants to defeat their opponent and survive.
So these are two scores worth six points.
In order to survive, people can do anything, let alone the team.
In order to survive, these weak teams whose strength is usually worrying will often burst out with strong fighting power. If they are not fully prepared, they will be overthrown by the opponent.
Therefore, such games are often more difficult than competing for the championship.
Especially in the Spanish Second Division. The championship of the Second Division is the most useless. Which teams will show off how many Second Division championship trophies they have won? The Second Division has only one meaning for these strong teams, then
It is the springboard for promotion to the First Division. It doesn't matter who wins the championship, as long as they can be among the top three in the league and qualify for promotion, that's all.
After obtaining the qualification to upgrade, they tend not to work too hard.
It's different for teams that are relegated. If they don't fight hard, they will die.
These two games will be the most severe test that Chang Sheng has encountered since coaching the Getafe first team.
He hopes that the loss to Las Palmas and the draw with Sporting Gijon will serve as a wake-up call to players who have been feeling good recently and let them know that they have no right to be proud.
Especially when they defeated Osasuna, the league's number one, many Getafe players will feel contempt when facing teams of a similar level to them, feeling that they even won the league's number one.
I’m afraid of all you fish-bellys!
But in fact, at the end of the league, the most terrifying thing is these fish belly.
There are many championship teams that accidentally bite these teams.
Now Chang Sheng feels that losing to Las Palmas may not be such a bad thing.
At the very least, the players can be warned and asked to correct their mentality.
※※※
Once Chang Sheng looked away, he no longer felt that losing to Las Palmas was such a bad thing.
But the media doesn't see it that way.
They finally took the opportunity to vent their inner dissatisfaction with the team's constant victory.
Suddenly, overwhelming criticism came to Chang Sheng.
If you only read these media reports, you would think that the winning coach's position is in jeopardy and he will be sacked by Getafe the next day.
But in fact, these are all illusions created by the media.
Chang Sheng found that even if he lost, it didn't seem to affect the Getafe fans' feelings towards him.
He felt this most deeply in the apartment building where he lived.
On the second day of the competition, Aunt Maria still invited him to dinner and came to knock on his door. He was a little embarrassed: "Didn't you lose, Aunt Maria?"
Aunt Maria's eyes widened: "I'm inviting you to dinner because you are our neighbor. You live alone and no one takes care of you. Anyway, I plan to do more today... It has nothing to do with whether you are the head coach of Getafe."
Half a pesetas!"
Chang Sheng discovered that Aunt Maria was really good at making excuses, one after another.
But while eating at Aunt Maria's house and chatting with Old Grande and Little Grande, he felt very warm in his heart.
He knew why Aunt Maria came to treat him to dinner at this time. She was worried that if he thought he had lost the game, the neighbors would look at him strangely.
She wants Chang Sheng to know that no matter whether the team's performance is good or bad, it will not affect their friendship.
But she didn't say it directly. During the entire dinner, she didn't mention it a word, and even Mr. Grant didn't say a word about the game.
This is not easy for the couple who are avid football fans.
In the end, Chang Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to talk about that game.
"Don't be like this, Uncle Grande and Little Grande. In fact, we lost this game just right." He had no choice but to explain to the two nervous and worried fans.
Hearing Chang Sheng take the initiative to explore the pizza, the two of them immediately became energetic. Chang Sheng could even see their eyes light up obviously.
"That's right! We never doubted you, Chang!" Old Grande chuckled and agreed.
But Grande frowned and said: "Our opponents in the next two games are direct competitors... Those are two games worth six points! Chang, you are sure of it, right?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course, I'm sure."
There was no hesitation, a firm tone, and a nonchalant expression.
In fact, he has a certain degree of certainty. The game has not been played and no one knows the outcome. However, following his consistent confident performance, he will say he is sure even if he is no longer sure about things.
If one day he says he is not sure anymore... then it will probably really be the end of the world.
But the two Grandes don't know. They see Chang Sheng as the team's head coach and are so confident, so maybe there will be no problem this time!
Losing a game is nothing...
※※※
The next day, many media swarmed outside the first-team training ground at Las Margherita Sports City.
These media all want to see the winning joke.
They believe that the reason why Chang Sheng can gain support from fans and clubs is that it has something to do with his winning.
Once he loses, the huge pressure will appear, the club will doubt him, and the fans will definitely not support him.
By then, if the media continues to bombard him, this bastard Chang Sheng will be considered a traitor!
They came today just to see how the fans would treat Chang Sheng.
These reporters could even imagine the scene where many fans gathered on the sidelines of the training ground and booed Chang Sheng.
That was really...a touching scene!
As they looked at the growing number of fans, they seemed to see the tragic scene of Chang Sheng's death.
When Chang Sheng appeared on the sidelines of the training ground, all reporters' eyes fell on him.
These eyes were filled with obvious schadenfreude.
The reporters have decided to report everything that happened here today in their respective media outlets.
We must make Chang Sheng lose all face and be cornered!
But the next second, the proud smiles on all of their faces froze!
Because just after Chang Sheng appeared, a group of fans on the sidelines took the lead in shouting: "Chang! We still support you!"
"Only losing to Las Palmas by one goal, this performance is good enough!"
"Ignore what those damn reporters are saying, they are all a bunch of bitches!!"
"That's right, I read what was said in the media! It's all nonsense!"
"The quality of journalists is worrying! We still believe in you more, China Chang!"
Hearing the shouts of these media, the reporters' faces suddenly became very ugly. They suddenly regretted that they should not be here!
Damn it, how could we forget that all these people were fooled by that bastard Chang Sheng?
※※※
Chang Sheng listened to the sudden sound. Although it was chaotic and he couldn't hear most of it clearly, he still heard the key words.
These fans are here to support him.
He suddenly saw the young fan who had asked him for an autograph in the crowd.
He raised his arms and shouted loudly and loudly.
Chang Sheng knew that these fans might have been organized by that guy or were his companions.
What a cute boy.
Manuel Garcia said next to Chang Sheng: "Look, Chang. The support many people get when they win may not be precious, but the support they can win after losing must be the most precious!"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yeah...so I have to thank them." After saying that, he waved to the fans and responded to their support.
Then there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.
The cheers made those reporters look as if their own sons had died.
"But it's not enough." The winner on the field continued to say to Manuel Garcia, "If we really want to thank them, we have to win the next two games!"
