Chapter 164 Still Underestimating...
Celta fans are most worried about losing the game away. .. text first
The first three rounds of the King's games were determined. There is no such thing as an away game loss and a comeback at home.
So if they lose here, it means their Copa del Rey campaign has come to an end.
Such a result is unacceptable to any Celta fan.
They are not giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, who can only focus on the league and European competitions. The Copa del Rey is the most important source of bonuses and honors for teams like Celta. Their ideas are similar to those of others, that is, when the real giants are not focused on this game, they work hard, and maybe they can win the King's Cup.
The Copa del Rey championship is just the beginning, and being able to participate in European competitions is what they are pursuing.
The champion of the King's Cup is eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup. Even if you can't win a game in the UEFA Cup, you can also get a valuable bonus during the group stage-not worth mentioning for Real Madrid and Barcelona, but for Real Madrid For a team like Celta, that is a huge bonus.
In fact, counting this season, Searle has suddenly participated in the UEFA Cup for three seasons, and they have reached the quarterfinals in the first two seasons.
Such a result is very good, and it is also a proof of Celta's excellent performance in the past few years at the turn of the century.
Therefore, when Getafe drew Celta, many people thought it was one of the reasons why Getafe lost.
Although Celta will have ups and downs in the future, it will no longer be as brave as it used to be. But today's Celta is still an out-and-out strong team.
Being able to participate in the UEFA Cup is a good thing for the Celta club's finances, so naturally no one is willing to be eliminated from the King's Cup so early. Although they can still qualify for the European Championship next season by relying on their domestic league rankings, the Copa del Rey is always a double insurance.
But at this time, the development of things no longer depends on their will.
Their team's offensive is like a wave, and every attack makes Celta fans feel that they will definitely score this time!
But each time I was disappointed.
At first they were still full of ambitions, thinking that Celta's capture of Getafe's city would be no problem, and they would soon be able to equalize the score, and soon complete the reversal.
But as time passed, the end of the game was getting closer and closer, but none of the goals appeared again...
※ ※ ※
For Getafe fans,
The game time seemed to pass extremely slowly amid Celta's indiscriminate bombing.
Although they are very confident in Getafe's defense, after all, their opponent is a team that is also very strong even in the first division. It has long been known that Celta is good at attacking.
So it is inevitable that there will be some worries.
Getafe played the second goal in the 65th minute of the game. From the 66th minute, Celta's offensive was like a huge wave, rushing towards Getafe.
Every minute seems to take as long as a century, and every attack by Celta can make them feel short of breath.
This torment lasted until the 88th minute, when they saw the fourth official standing on the sidelines holding an electronic sign, and realized that the game had come to an end...
And what about the score?
Many people turned their heads to look at the score information on the big screen.
2:1!
The home team Getafe is still ahead!
Although embarrassed and frightening, he is still in the lead!
Yes, it's going to be tough, but we're going to win!
There was a huge cheer from the Getafe fans in the stands.
This burst of cheers was like a stimulant for Getafe, which was struggling to support. After one injection, everyone recovered a little strength.
In fact, to defend Celta's offense is not just a high requirement on physical fitness, the biggest pressure comes from psychology.
Always thinking about "never lose the ball" and "never lose the ball" make them feel nervous every time they face Celta's offense.
And in the long run, this sentiment will in turn affect the Getafe players, making them tired faster than usual games.
Therefore, Getafe's physical energy in the final stage is consumed very quickly.
But the reason why they are able to hold on is due to their inner belief that this game must be won!
But being able to get the support of the fans also gave them something more to persist.
The cheers of these fans came very timely.
It also let the players see that the end of the game is not long, and victory is just around the corner!

Because the second half went fairly smoothly, the stoppage time was three minutes, no more, no less, a very regular stoppage time.
But Victor Fernandez had something to say, complaining to the fourth official with open arms: "Too little stoppage time! They've only got two minutes to celebrate!"
The fourth official ignored him. He knew how Victor Fernandez was feeling now. The head coach of the trailing side must wish that the stoppage time was infinite. When they scored to reverse the game, when will it stop.
But if this is really the case, there will be no order in football matches.
Victor Fernandez also knew that running to the fourth official was of no avail, as the opponent's stoppage time was quite satisfactory and there was nothing wrong with it.
He turned his attention to the field again.
Counting injury time, there are less than five minutes left...
During this period of time, at least one more goal must be scored!
As long as the score can be equalized, the game can be dragged into overtime.
According to his observation, Getafe's players are under tremendous pressure, both mentally and physically. Their stamina was almost exhausted, and it was absolutely impossible for them to last another thirty minutes. And their desperate goal is to win. They think that after 90 minutes of the game, they can win. All their thoughts are on this. If they find out that there will be another thirty minutes of overtime I'm afraid it will collapse immediately.
So as long as Celta can drag the game into overtime, it can basically win the game.
He stared at the field, looking forward to someone among the chaotic army who could make contributions to Celta.
※ ※ ※
Celta's players are also very aware of this. As long as the game enters overtime, they will be considered to have won, so their offensive has become more and more fierce.
At the beginning, under their fierce offensive, Getafe's defense line still stood firm and motionless.
No matter how embarrassing they are, they will not let Celta score.
We are almost at the finish line. If we fall before the finish line, it would be a shame!
Although Getafe's players are more tired and under more pressure than before, their defense is also stronger than before.
The 90th minute came and the score was still 2:1.
In the first minute of stoppage time, even Celta's goalkeeper Pinto rushed to the center circle.
After Getafe scored twice in three minutes in the second half, they gave up attacking altogether. So Pinto was actually tense for three minutes in the second half, and spent the rest of the time doing nothing.
But he never yawned in front of the camera again.
Now he is even more frowning, staring at Getafe's overcrowded penalty area.
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng started his annoying performance.
Just entering the stoppage time, he pushed Jose Carlos Rodriguez Valero to the sideline as if he had pinched the watch.
He's going to be replaced.
Soon there was a chance of a dead ball, and Getafe finally completed the substitution.
Luis Garcia is replaced by midfielder Jose Carlos Rodriguez Valero.
Just as he entered the field on the front foot, Chang Sheng pushed another person to the sidelines.
This time it was the team's central defender Ivan Outlaw, who was the team's first substitute at the central defender's position before Jose Passarella.
Of course, he is still the first substitute now, but after Segura left, he has not been able to occupy the main position.
Before the stoppage time of this game, Chang Sheng did not make a substitution, no matter how hard his team was struggling.
He reserved the three substitution places in his hand until now just to do this!
Delay the game time!
And it's fair and square!
Sure enough, Victor Fernandez, who was next to him, gritted his teeth angrily when he saw Chang Sheng had just changed another person, and then pushed the second person to the sidelines——you can't fucking replace him all at once? !
Chang Sheng really can't be replaced in one go.
Every time there is a substitution, the player who is being replaced will walk down slowly, and it will take half a minute.
The three-minute stoppage time made him so tossed, and half of the time passed.
What is the time left to do?
And Celta's offensive will be interrupted because of this substitution.
This is the most important thing.
After finally organizing an attack, the momentum is in full swing. The referee signaled for a substitution on the sidelines, and when the opponent slowed down and made the substitution, all momentum was lost.
Sure enough, during the second substitution, the replaced Getafe player Mista walked very slowly, as if he was exhausted.
Celta's players kept complaining to the referee, complaining that the opponent deliberately delayed the game time.
Seeing this, Mista trotted for two steps, and then walked two steps as if he couldn't run. Just like this, I ran two steps, walked two steps, finally came to the sidelines, and pretended to raise my arms high, applauding the fans in the stands, and after turning around, I hugged my teammates who were waiting to play.
This completes the entire substitution process.
More than half a minute passed again...
※ ※ ※
Not long after Mista was replaced, Chang Sheng pushed a third person to stand on the sidelines!
He is going to use the tactics of delaying the game time to the end!
When Victor Fernandez saw this scene, his lungs almost exploded.
It's shameless!
But what can he do?
There was nothing he could do but continue to yell at the fourth official in vain.
Because no one and a football rule say that substitutions are not allowed in stoppage time, and there is no rule that does not allow coaches to change one by one.
Chang Sheng made reasonable use of the rules, driving Victor Fernandez so depressed that he went crazy.
※ ※ ※
Crespo couldn't help laughing at this scene.
Using stoppage-time substitutions to delay the game, any coach would, would.
But using such naked ones is always better than the first one.
Other coaches either just change players once and that's enough, or use up all the substitution places at once, and replace two or three people at the same time. Anyway, try not to make it too obvious, so as not to be caught by others.
It's not like Chang Sheng, who calculated the time and replaced people one by one, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was delaying the game time.
Crespo is a smart man, and when he rolled his eyes, he knew why Chang Sheng did what he did.
This is revenge for those who underestimated him before the game!
I not only want to win you, but also disgust you to death!
He didn't comment on Chang Sheng's actions, but shook his head with a smile.
This young man... is only in the second division right now, and not many people know him. When he becomes the head coach of a first division team in the future, and becomes famous, he becomes a well-known head coach in Europe. What about headaches?
※ ※ ※
Although Celta fans are very unhappy with Chang Sheng's approach, they keep cursing the eighteen generations of Chang Sheng's ancestors. However, Chang Sheng is still carrying out his plan of substituting and delaying time step by step.
Even if Celta's players don't want to give him a chance to make substitutions.
Because it is impossible for them to keep the possession of the ball on their side all the time.
Football always falls to the opponent's feet.
For example, Getafe's goalkeeper Pablo got it directly for this shot.
After Pablo got the ball, without even thinking about it, he drove the football to the frontcourt with a big foot.
However, the ball he kicked was obviously deflected, and after bouncing once on the ground, it jumped out of the sideline.
Throw-in!
The dead ball opportunity for substitutions came again.
Celta's players wanted to throw it straight out, throw it in fast.
But it was stopped by the referee's whistle.
The referee signaled Getafe to make a substitution and told them to wait.
Celta's players were helpless and angry. The player who threw the ball directly punched the football to the ground. After the football made violent contact with the ground, it bounced into the air again.
Chang Sheng smiled triumphantly when he saw the Celta players acting like this off the court.
Fool, it's your time that's wasted, not mine!
Sure enough, Getafe is slowly changing players here.
The referee over there even ran 30 meters to give a yellow card to the Celta player who vented his anger!
The distraught Celta fans wanted to cry-damn! You rush your throw-in, time is running out! If you want to let off steam, go find them after the game is over!
※ ※ ※
When Victor Fernandez saw this scene, he closed his eyes in pain.
He had been reluctant to admit it before.
But now, he had to admit it.
Own team failed.
It is considered that Celta Vigo, which has always drawn a good draw, lost unexpectedly and was eliminated.
He felt that he had paid enough attention to Getafe after falling behind, especially Getafe's defense, otherwise he would not have sent three main offensive players in one go.
But now he feels that he still underestimated Getafe's defense...
Not long after the Celta player finally threw the clearance ball, the referee blew three whistles, announcing the end of the halftime game.
There was a huge cheer from the Getafe fans in the stands.
On the Getafe coaching bench and bench next to him, people swarmed up and rushed onto the field, hugging and celebrating the victory with the Getafe players on the field.
Everyone is expressing their emotions to their heart's content.
But whether it was the whistle, or the hustle and bustle, or the cheers, everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
His young and promising head coach was defeated by a younger head coach.
He turned his head to look at the young head coach who had rushed onto the field and was celebrating with his teammates. He had black hair, yellow skin, and was not tall. He was wearing a suit with the Getafe logo, and his front could not be seen.
But the opponent quickly turned around, allowing Victor Fernandez to see the positive side of Chang Sheng.
The smile was bright and exaggerated. Obviously this victory also gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Victor Fernandez just watched, watched, watched.
It was as if he wanted to keep Chang Sheng's appearance and everything about him in his mind.
He had a hunch that such a person might not be long before he would meet again...
