Chapter 153 Severe and Very Severe

Also taken aback was Celta's head coach Victor Fernandez. [..]

But he wasn't frightened by his guess, he was frightened by what he saw.

He has Getafe's starting list for this game in his hand.

It's different from Harvey Passos who can't surf the Internet in time outside.

Celta's coach has a dedicated person responsible for collecting information about the opponent, including the opponent's starting list.

Especially when the opponent has not announced the starting list for a long time, they will pay more attention to this matter.

Although the speculation in the media is exactly the same as Celta coach Victor Fernandez's own speculation. But he is a cautious person, so he will not give up until he sees the real starting list.

Now he saw the genuine starting list.

His assistant coach just found it from the official website of the Football Association.

In this list, Getafe is the main force!

Especially in the frontcourt offensive combination, Charisteas, Luis Garcia and Mista are all on the list.

This surprised Fernandez.

His previous judgment was that Chang Sheng should give up this game, so it is impossible to play with all the main players.

The opponent should be the last batch of substitutes, so they dealt with it casually.

but now……

Holding this starting list, he felt a little hesitant.

Does this starting list mean that the opponent is actually unwilling to give up this game?

Or is this starting list just because Chang Sheng doesn't want to make his surrender too obvious?

He thought for a long time in his heart.

Finally a decision was made.

No matter what the opponent's purpose is, the result of this game cannot be changed.

Even if their main force is at their best, Victor Fernandez doesn't think that Getafe, who is at their best, can beat his team, even if his players are all substitutes.

But Celta's substitute, compared to Getafe's main force, is also a level higher in strength.

Even if the opponent is dying,

That also means they are going to die.

Victor Fernandez is a very cautious person, but he is also a person who will not change easily once a decision is made. He always believes that these two points are his

When he thinks that Getafe can't beat Celta no matter what, he won't consider other possibilities.

Being cautious is a habit, but it doesn't mean you don't have confidence in your team.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng watched the players in the locker room.

They just came back from warm-up.

Because of the short distance, the Getafe players can arrive at the stadium later, and the warm-up time is naturally later than the visiting team Celta.

Chang Sheng looked at them without saying a word.

He can see the hearts of players in their faces.

Everyone seemed dissatisfied.

I am still very displeased with his head coach who took the initiative to show weakness before the game.

But that's exactly what he wanted.

If these players will lose their fighting spirit and confidence because of his remarks before the game, then he will be self-defeating.

But Chang Sheng knew that these players would not do this.

Because their [Willpower] and [Brave] are very high.

If a team's main lineup has more than two-thirds of such players, then the team will naturally not give up lightly.

Even if the head coach is not optimistic about them, they will do everything possible to make the head coach admit that he is wrong.

It is precisely because he knows these characteristics of the players that Chang Sheng chose to continue to deceive the players on the training ground.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to make such a decision.

Because the consequence of doing so is not as simple as losing a game, it may also completely lose the trust of the players.

But because Chang Sheng can see the attributes of the players, he knows what they are like.

Even so, in fact, Chang Sheng is not 100% sure that his strategy is correct.

Now, he still doesn't intend to reveal the mystery.

He felt it was not time to be honest with the players.

He intends to watch the first half first.

So now he is still in acting mode.

He didn't say a word, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed very worried about the upcoming game.

He showed his lack of confidence to the fullest.

His appearance naturally fell into the eyes of the players.

Seeing that the game is about to start, the head coach still looks like this. Although they don't quite understand why their head coach is so different from before, this does not hinder their burning fighting spirit.

The appearance of the head coach made them firmer in their belief that they must win Celta in the game.

How about the first division team?

So what about ranking eighth in the league?

No matter what difficulties you encounter in the game, you must beat them all!

※ ※ ※

Twenty minutes later, the second round of the Copa del Rey, which was not particularly important and did not attract much attention, began.

The only surprise is that Getafe played a full lineup in the game.

Getafe fans were surprised when they saw this lineup.

Before the media overwhelmingly publicized that Changsheng conceded in advance, so they all believed that Getafe would definitely have a full substitute lineup for this game.

In fact, Chang Sheng took the initiative to admit defeat, which did not affect the perception of Getafe fans.

Changsheng has won the initial recognition of many Getafe fans through the result of finally leading the team to relegation last season.

This season, because of the unexpectedly good results of leading the team, the fans of Getafe have become even more fanatical about him.

In the minds of many Getafe fans, winning status has surpassed everyone else in the Getafe club up and down.

No matter what decision Chang Sheng makes, he must have his reasons and be correct.

They don't need to discuss why Chang Sheng did this at all, they just have to wait for the final result.

If Changsheng also has prestige to the fans, then it must be full of admiration.

Specific to this matter, the fans also think Chang Sheng's decision is correct.

After all, the strength gap between the two sides is there.

Getafe may not be able to beat Celta even if they try their best.

It also affects the team's performance in the league.

Although the Copa del Rey is known as the "hotbed of unpopularity", it is not even thought about given Getafe's current situation.

No matter how unpopular it is, it's just one or two games. Do they think Getafe can really win the Copa del Rey?

However, being able to upgrade to the First Division is what Getafe fans are most looking forward to.

The First Division, for Getafe fans, means another world.

It means that they have the opportunity to see giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid at their doorstep every year.

It means that they can also go to football temples such as the Bernabeu and the Nou Camp to watch the game.

This is what they dream of.

In comparison, the Copa del Rey is naturally not an urgent requirement.

So they don't think it's a shameful surrender for Chang Sheng to give up the Copa del Rey early. On the contrary, they think Chang Sheng is calm and wise enough. Such a head coach can actually give them more confidence.

※ ※ ※

The reporters and game commentators also got Getafe's starting list for this game two hours ago. They were all surprised, but their surprise has passed.

When the game started, their attention was drawn to the game.

The commentator didn't even bother to lament Getafe's full lineup.

Because Celta is launching a fierce attack on Getafe.

Even Getafe's substitutes are very proud.

If you have to fight a second-tier team for 90 minutes before you can decide the outcome, it would be a real embarrassment.

So Celta's players intend to deal with this opponent at the beginning of the game.

Be sure to score first.

After the first goal, they can play whatever they want.

※ ※ ※

I have to admit that Celta's strength is quite strong, even if it is a substitute lineup, it can have an advantage against Getafe's main lineup.

But Chang Sheng was not surprised by this.

He is very aware of Celta's strength, otherwise why would he take such pains? He does not hesitate to deceive his players and risk being betrayed.

The purpose is to increase your chances of winning.

It's not that after he does this, he can beat Celta 100%.

Even 70% may not be able to have it.

Maybe only forty percent.

But anyway, forty percent is better than ten percent...

Although at the time of Changsheng crossing, Celta hadn't appeared in Spain's top league for many years. They were relegated from the First Division in the 06/07 season and have been ups and downs in the Second Division until the end of the 2011/12 season before returning to the First Division as the second place in the Second Division.

But in the era where Changsheng is now, it is a glorious period for them.

In two more seasons, Celta will reach their peak.

In the 2002/2003 season, Celta won the fourth place in La Liga and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in history.

Of course, this brilliant achievement also hides murderous intentions. Now that they have reached the peak, they will naturally start to slide into the abyss.

In the second season, Celta fought on two fronts and it was difficult to cope. Although they made a record in the Champions League and reached the top 16, their performance in the Champions League dragged down their results in the league. In the end, Celta In the 2003/04 season, Tower only ranked nineteenth in the league and was relegated to the second division.

They came back after a season.

But when they were relegated again in 2006/07, it was not so easy to come back.

There are so many masters in Celta's formation today, and it is far from being comparable to the ever-victorious Getafe ** team.

It's no wonder that the media and fans are not optimistic about the winning teams.

How many international players and famous people are there in Celta's main lineup now.

For example, their goalkeeper is Pablo Oscar Caballero (_ar_), an Argentine international, the main goalkeeper of the Argentine Olympic team in the Atlanta Olympics, and helped the team win a silver medal. He participated in the World Cup in 1998, but at that time he was still Argentina's substitute goalkeeper. At that time, Argentina's main goalkeeper was Roa (s_a).

However, Roa, who performed well in the 1998 World Cup, chose to retire in 1999 because of religious beliefs. You must know that he was still at the peak of his career at that time...

Caballero thus became Argentina's main goalkeeper.

Chang Sheng also knows that in the 2002 World Cup, Caballero played all three games as Argentina's main goalkeeper.

However, under Bielsa, although Argentina performed well in the South American qualifiers, they did not even qualify for the group stage in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea...

Caballero's performance is also very average.

But even in general, for Chang Sheng today, he is still a top goalkeeper. Fortunately, he did not appear in the starting lineup in this game.

Compared with the defense line, Celta's offensive lineup is more famous.

They have Gustavo López (_López), Karpin (Valery_n) and Mostovoi (Alexander_), as well as McCarthy (Be_arthy).

This offensive line is already top-notch in La Liga.

At that time in the Argentine national team, there were two very famous Lopez, one was Claudio Lopez (_er_López) with the title of "Flea", and the other was Gustavo Lopez. As an Argentine international, although he did not participate in the 1998 World Cup, he currently has 31 national team appearances.

In the 2002 World Cup, he was selected for Argentina's final 23-man roster, defeating Real Madrid's left winger Solari (_).

His breakthrough on the left is very sharp, and his assists are also very precise. Of course, thankfully, he did not appear in the starting list for this game.

"Tsar" Mostovoi is a representative of the former Soviet Union football, with excellent skills and excellent midfield command ability. It is the main core of Celta and the captain of Celta. At the turn of the century, this Celta team was a new force in La Liga, and Mostovoi contributed a lot. Of course, although he is 31 years old, Mostovoi is still the absolute main force of Celta, the soul of the midfielder, so he naturally did not appear in the starting lineup as the main force in this game.

Karpin is also an excellent player trained by the former Soviet football system like Mostovoi. He has solid skills, accurate crossing, and is good at playing on the side. However, he can also play a cameo role in organizing attacks in the middle, so he has a wide range of activities. , is an all-rounder in the frontcourt. He and Mostovoi are old friends, and they were teammates when they played for Sparta Moscow. Now they are fighting side by side in Celta Vigo, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, which is the main contributor to Celta Vigo's outstanding performance in recent years.

But now he and Mostovoi's situation is different. Both are also 31 years old, Mostovoi is still the main force of the team, but he has been reduced to a substitute.

Just in December last year, the "Kalpin case", which has been attracting much attention, was finally settled. Karpin won the lawsuit against the Spanish Football Association. As a Russian player, he will enjoy the same treatment as other EU players without having to He has been unable to play because of the limit of three non-EU players.

But before that, he was Celta's substitute.

This means that in this Copa del Rey game, he will play as a starter...

South African striker Benny McCarthy was bought by Celta Vigo from Ajax for 6 million euros, which set a record for South African players at that time. Last season, he played 31 games and scored only eight goals. For Ajax who played only nineteen times and scored eleven goals last season, he moved to Celta Vigo This result is indeed not very good-looking, so he has also been reduced to a substitute this season. He has only played seven times and failed to score a goal.

He also started the Copa del Rey match against Getafe.

In addition, the starting goalkeeper of this game is also the usual substitute goalkeeper, who is also famous.

That is the future Barcelona's substitute goalkeeper Pinto! That whistle guy...

He is only 24 years old now, and he is playing as a substitute for Caballero at Celta Vigo.

Just by looking at such a lineup, you can see why Chang Sheng went to great lengths to lower the vigilance of the opposing head coach and send a substitute to play.

Even so, the Celta bench lineup that Getafe will face is still strong...

The situation can be described as grim, but if Chang Sheng doesn't use those methods, the situation will be "very grim".

Now the word "very" is finally removed, which can be regarded as increasing the winning rate...
