Chapter 202 Let Us Become the Ocean

The media in the entire Madrid area is discussing tomorrow's La Liga.

Getafe hosts Sevilla.

The pre-match analysis showed that the media were overwhelmingly optimistic that Sevilla, currently ranked number one in the league, would beat Getafe.

After all, the Getafe club has given up dying and is waiting for the debt to mature and let the bank take back the ownership.

This news is a fatal blow to the Getafe team, and it is the last straw that crushes them.

Getafe's performance is not difficult to predict, it will definitely be the same as before... no, it should not be as good as before.

Because they are completely finished!

Not to mention that Sevilla performed strongly after Caparros took over, and now they have regained their first place in the league, and they are strong and strong. In addition, in the first half of the season, Sevilla once lost 0:3 to Getafe at home.

The game also sparked a lot of controversy.

Sevilla must have wanted revenge.

This means that they will never show mercy in the away game. Even if Getafe has no fighting spirit, they will slaughter their opponents as much as they want, just to avenge their shame.

The club is over, the morale of the team is collapsing, and the opponent has a powerful desire for revenge... There is no suspense in this game, so what is there to watch?

But even so, there are still many media who come to pay attention to this game.

After all, this is a "strong dialogue" between the league's first and the third in the league, although one of the "strong" needs to be quoted.

Another very important reason is that these reporters will not let go of any opportunity to ridicule Chang Sheng.

Didn't that bastard Chang Sheng utter wild words?

Said to use a league champion to slap us in the face and make us regret it?

Let's see his idiot joke in this game now.

With the mentality of watching Chang Sheng's jokes, no less than 30 reporters came to the press conference before the game.

There are so many reporters in the second division, which is rare. Only the focus battle in the second division can enjoy this kind of treatment.

However, Sevilla's head coach Caparros remained calm in the face of such a big battle. This was the only thing that made the reporters feel that there was a fly in the ointment-he did not make bold words to provoke further verbal wars between the two sides.

He remained calm.

But reporters always have a way of getting Caparros to speak for them, or say what they want to hear.

The media interpreted Caparros’s calmness as disdain and contempt for Getafe from the bottom of his heart-you see, people don’t care about the wild words that your Getafe coach made before. Unexpectedly, he kicked a piece of iron board, so he was deflated now, right?

In the eyes of the media, Chang Sheng is best at using all kinds of wild words to provoke the anger of the opponent's coach, so that the opponent loses his calm, and he himself can take advantage of it.

But now that Caparros doesn't follow him at all, what chance does he have of winning?

The only trick has failed!

Next, just wait to see his jokes.

Thinking of this, the reporters were filled with a relaxed and happy mood,

Getafe is really dead this time.

If there is no accident, their debts will be due in another one and a half months, and Flores will have nothing by then, and he can only be kicked out of the club. And Getafe will be taken back by the bank. At the same time, all the activities of the previous club directors will be frozen. The club will only listen to one person at that time, that is, the interim chairman they appointed. He will temporarily take charge of the club until the bank finds a new one for the club. until the master.

But during this period, all the interim head can do is to maintain the basic operations of the club and ensure that the club will not be abandoned.

As for transfers, signings, and other things that cost money, don't even think about it. Of course, sponsorship must be done, otherwise the whole club will starve to death.

When the bank temporarily manages the club, they will also pay everyone a salary, but this salary will eventually become the team's debt, rolled into the previous debt.

Therefore, if the new owner wants to take on as little debt as possible, it has to do what should be done.

Atletico Madrid's strong lineup last season was downgraded because of this trusteeship.

No one here believes that the victorious Getafe can break this rule and survive.

Even if they don't get relegated, don't expect to be promoted, let alone a league championship!

Chang Sheng is really a daydream!

The atmosphere in Sevilla's press conference is relaxed now, but Getafe's pre-match press conference will not be so happy and harmonious.

After Sevilla's coach Caparros left the press conference, the remaining reporters began to look forward to how they would taunt and ridicule Chang Sheng at the press conference for a while.

Many sets of plans have popped up in their clever minds. They promise to shame the thickest-skinned people in the world to death.

But they did not wait to win.

When Manuel Garcia appeared in front of the reporters, he could clearly see the astonished expressions on the faces of those reporters. Perhaps these reporters never expected that before such an important game, Chang Sheng would actually be a coward!

He didn't come to the pre-match press conference.

Manuel Garcia understands Chang Sheng's approach very well, and no one wants to be humiliated.

But he didn't care about the ridicule of the reporters, so he strode onto the rostrum and said to a group of stunned reporters below: "I am often assigned to represent the team to attend the pre-match press conference, and you can ask me any questions you have. "

A reporter reacted first from the astonishment, and he shouted: "What's the reason? What's his reason for not attending the press conference?!"

Manuel Garcia looked calm: "There is no reason."

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng and Rudy Gonzalez are leading the team to adapt to the field at the Alfonso Perez Stadium.

Rudy asked him: "Why don't you go by yourself? Don't you like to chat with reporters the most?"

Chang Sheng shrugged: "I'm too lazy to talk to them."

"Why?"

"Because I feel that silence is more powerful than noise at this time. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and everything that needs to be said has been said. It's just a waste of time to repeat those clichés." Chang Sheng said these words, Look up to the stands.

The Alfonso Perez Stadium is really not a big stadium. Even for Chang Sheng in his previous life, he has never been to any stadium to watch a game. He only learned about European stadiums through live TV. He also felt that Getafe The stadium can only be said to be small, not even medium-sized. Alfonso Perez Stadium can be called miniature for a stadium that has seen too many giants with 50,000 to 60,000 people at every turn.

But even if it is such a small stadium, it is not easy to fill all the seats.

In his opinion, only the last few games of last season's relegation and some games in the first half of this season have all been fully seated. For example, the game against Atletico Madrid was full.

But other times, such opportunities are few and far between.

He issued a mobilization order on the radio, and Enrique and the others were helping to connect. But how many fans will listen to him and come to watch the game live?

In the last few home games, there have been fewer and fewer Getafe fans watching the game. Obviously, the poor performance of the team and the uncertain future of the club made many people lose interest in watching the game live.

Tomorrow, if it is still like the previous few home games, the sparse crowd in the stands is like a scorpion, how will he face it?

In this case, do I still have the confidence to tell the players that they want to fight for the fans?

Don't look at Chang Sheng's full confidence in front of others, there is an inexplicable self-confidence.

But at this time, his heart was very disturbed.

He did what he had to do, even going on the radio and giving a mobilization speech for the war. What else could he do?

Do everything you can to obey the destiny, he has already done everything possible, and now he needs to obey the destiny.

God, do you want me to die or don't you want me to die?

We will find out tomorrow.

Since Caparros took over Sevilla, he has vigorously promoted the young players of the b team, such as Reyes, he has given more trust and opportunities to play. And these young players did not disappoint Caparros, who trusted them, and helped Sevilla catch up to Getafe, and finally succeeded in surpassing Getafe.

Sevilla's outstanding performance in the league has made many Sevilla fans full of optimistic expectations for this game.

Not only the fans, but many Sevilla players think so.

For Sevilla up and down, there is no suspense in this game.

Since Getafe's economic crisis broke out, in the league, whoever meets Getafe will be lucky, which means that they can get three points for nothing.

From the players to the ordinary fans, they are already thinking about how they can expand their lead in the standings after winning Getafe.

Sevilla are now seven points ahead of second-placed Real Betis and eight ahead of Getafe. This point advantage can be described as quite large. If they can win this game, they will be 11 points ahead of Getafe.

That Chang Sheng even boasted that his team could still win the league championship?

The difference of eleven points, how to catch up? !

Caparros was very calm in the pre-match press conference, but the Sevilla fans could not be calm. They have long been unhappy with what Chang Sheng said. It's just that they don't have the right to speak, and they can only scold Chang Sheng in private.

This is somewhat depressing.

Now they are not depressed.

They can use the victory in this game to spit on Chang Sheng: "You still want to win the first division championship? Have you asked us if we have!"

The only pity is that this game is away, they can't turn the entire stadium into a hell that makes Getafe terrified.

Let this victory not be perfect, there are regrets.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the warm sun shines on people's bodies, making people just want to lie on the chair and listen to the soft music from the radio, and it's best to do nothing.

"Daniel Time, welcome everyone to the hottest, funniest and best program in Getafe, Daniel Time!" Daniel Robio Velasco's voice sounded on many radios at the same time.

"Today, the theme of our program is—will you go to the Alfonso Perez Stadium to watch the afternoon game? Welcome everyone to call and communicate with Daniel..."

The voice of Daniel Robio Velasco on the radio continued, but the people outside the radio didn't pay attention to him, they seemed extremely busy.

"Is the banner ready?"

"Ready!"

"Where's the slogan? And our flag! One last check before departure! Be sure to be sure!"

At the headquarters of the Blue Army, the cadres are loudly reminding everyone to be prepared. Everyone is too busy with their own business to tune in to their usual favorite "Daniel Time" when they're on the go.

"By the way, who saw Keek?" Someone was asking.

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention..."

"Damn, where did he go when he was so busy..."

Enrique Gonzalez was hiding in an unobtrusive corner, on the phone: "Hello, is that me? Is it me, Daniel?"

"Yes, it's you, my dear friend, you are the lucky one who entered our program first, do you have anything to say?"

※ ※ ※

"My name is Enrique Gonzalez. Everyone calls me Quique. I am a Getafe fan. I will definitely go to watch this match..." Enrique Gonzalez was heard on the radio. Gonzalez's voice was somewhat noisy because it was relayed over the phone.

"I also hope that everyone can go to the scene to support our team, even though the team's current state is very bad. But because of this, we have to support them even more. Because if we don't even support them, then they can't support us. It's really over. And when the team is over, what can we fans do? The team is over, will we be happy and happy?"

In the abandoned warehouse at Blue Commando's base, the afternoon sun slanted in through the glassless windows, dividing the dark warehouse space.

Dozens of key members gathered together. Their leader, Alfaro Rios, was standing on a table. Just in time, a ray of light came in from a high window, covering him and the table under his feet. It gives people a feeling that Alfaro Rios is the center of gravity and the protagonist of the stage.

"Guys!" the protagonist yells. "Today is a good day!! We are about to usher in the self-righteous league No. 1 at home! We must show some color to those Andalusian sluts! We will tear their bodies apart! Trample them on the ground Under our feet! Let those Andalusian idiots know whose territory this is!"

"It's us! It's the Blue Commando! It's the Blue Commando!" Everyone looked up at him, waved their fists, and shouted. Their faces were filled with the same fanatical expressions as Alfaro Rios, and there were flames beating in their eyes.

"Yes! We're going to make the Alfonso Perez stadium a hell! Kill all the enemies here! This is our war! Kill-death-them!!"

"kill--!!!"

The roars from the fanatical fans even disturbed the airflow, and the droplets and dust in the beam of light flew wildly.

The radio blared in the corner, but no one paid any attention.

※ ※ ※

"I read those media reports, they are laughing at us, they say that Getafe has only a few fans, and often put their hopes on a group of poor fans... Yes, our Getafe fans are like our team. , are poor, because none of us are rich. We can't use money to save our team, but we have another way to save the team, and that is to go to the game! Use our voice! We Gestures, our slogans, banners, flags... Support them with everything we can! Support our own team!"

At the potato and egg pancake bar that Chang Sheng often went to, people kept entering, but no one came out.

None of them came to eat, but seemed to be gathering, waiting for a certain moment.

After they met, they embraced warmly and greeted each other loudly, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. In fact, they are old friends whom we haven’t seen for many years. There are quite a few people here who haven’t seen each other for several years. They are separated from each other and have their own families, lives, careers, and other messy things.

There is only one reason for them to get together again-to go to the scene to cheer for Getafe.

The owner of the bar hung a sign outside the door of the bar, which read "Closed business today, going to the Alfonso Perez Stadium to cheer for Getafe is more important than making money!"

※ ※ ※

"Each of us is insignificant, not a millionaire, not a politician, not a celebrity, and not a star... Each of us is like a small stream worth mentioning. But guys, I firmly believe that no matter how wide the ocean , are also formed by the convergence of countless inconspicuous streams! Today, let these insignificant and insignificant streams of ours gather together to form a vast ocean! Let us completely submerge Seville!"

When Enrique Gonzalez finished speaking, Daniel was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, and then said: "Thank you Keek, you are so good! The ultimate destination of every stream is to flow into the sea, but every ocean It is also made of streams... So, listeners, today, at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, let us be the ocean!"

※ ※ ※

The game started at 5:30 in the afternoon, but at 3 o'clock, many fans had already left their homes and took to the streets.

They wore uniform blue Getafe jerseys with Getafe blue scarves tied around their arms.

Although there are still two and a half hours before the start of the game, the Getafe fans can no longer bear it. They are urged by the fire in their hearts and leave for the Alfonso Perez Stadium in the north of Getafe .

They opened the door, and at first it was just one or two people, two or three, three or five people, and when they went downstairs, they became a dozen people.

When they passed a street and turned an intersection, they turned into dozens of people.

When they crossed a block, several streets, and every intersection, a team of dozens of people gathered, and they became more than a hundred people.

Then, there are hundreds of people.

Then, thousands of people.

The Getafe fans seem to emerge from a hole in the earth, they emerge from every corner of the city. Appeared, then converged, and then walked side by side, heading towards the stadium in the north.

In this process, more and more people joined in, and the number of people increased rapidly. From the creek to the river, the streets of Getafe became the riverbed, and they were fascinated by these Getafe fans like blue water. fill up.

In the end, they are no longer rivers, they are floods, mighty floods!

The distance from the Alfonso Perez stadium is getting closer and closer, and the momentum of this flood becomes more and more alarming.

Out of nowhere, someone sang the Getafe team anthem, then more people joined in, and it eventually turned into a rumble.

The singing echoed over the city of Getafe.

At the end of the song, they began to shout slogans: "Come on! Getafe! Go forward, Deep Blue Legion! Come on, Getafe! Go forward! Deep Blue Legion!!"

Fans chanted, clapped and waved their arms in unison, just like they do in the stadium stands, only they turned the streets into stands.

This torrent finally converged in front of the square in front of the Alfonso Perez Stadium. They stopped and looked from the air. The afternoon sun shone on each of them, and their blue jerseys reflected the sun. , like a sparkling, undulating blue ocean.

"My God..." The host of a TV station who was doing a live broadcast outside the Alfonso Perez Stadium and reported the connection, suddenly looked at the direction behind the camera in a daze, and opened his mouth.

"What's the matter, Miguel?" The host's inquiry came from behind the headset. "Did you see aliens? Ha!"

The host was still teasing the reporter in front of him, but when the scene in front of him moved quickly and froze, he couldn’t laugh anymore. He also stared blankly at the camera like Miguel, the reporter in front of him. He couldn't speak a word from the picture shown to him.

In the camera, countless Getafe fans are coming out of every street and pouring towards the stadium from all directions.

They were densely packed, singing songs, shouting slogans, and waving their arms.

Step by step towards the stadium, towards the reporters, towards the camera, it was as if a large army was pressing down on the ground, making one even stop breathing.

They are all Getafe fans.

They are ordinary fans who are dismissed by the media.

They heard Chang Sheng's call, responded to his call, and came.

Then he appeared in front of the cameras of the reporters, making everyone who saw this scene feel suffocated.

※ ※ ※

Although Lemon really didn't want to be abused in front of the TV.

But when game time came, he turned on the TV anyway, like a reflex.

Then he sat on the sofa, watching the TV screen gradually brighten up, listening to the cheers coming from the speakers...Huh?

It seems wrong.

His TV always displays the picture first, and then the sound, and the sound has a delay compared to the appearance of the picture.

But now the screen is still flashing, why did the sound come out first?

Only then did he realize that the sound should not have come from the TV.

So he listened carefully, and found that the noise was coming from the nearby Alfonso Perez Stadium!

He suddenly thought of something, jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the window, and then he saw a scene that he will never forget-the square outside the Alfonso Perez Stadium was full of people! The densely packed people and the blue Getafe jerseys, they are connected together, like an undulating ocean!

This scene was enough to make people with trypophobia feel sick, but it made Lemon stand on the spot in a daze!

You must know that the last round of the league was also at home. Getafe lost 2:4 to Murcia. In that game, the Alfonso Perez stadium was as quiet as a place where the dead were released.

In the previous games, the attendance rate of the Alfonso Perez stadium was even worse. Obviously, the fans also lost confidence...

Looks like he's not alone in the game-day blues.

But now, they're all here! They filled the square in front of the Alfonso Perez stadium! They will also fill the stands at the Alfonso Perez Stadium!

The media are right. Getafe has only 12,000 members, while the Alfonso Perez Stadium can accommodate more than 18,000 people. Even if all the members went, they still wouldn't be able to sit in the stands of the stadium.

But now... a lot of Getafe fans who are not members are all here! They're not filling the Alfonso Perez Stadium, they're flooding it!

Shocked by this scene, Lemon thought of Chang Sheng's "Championship Covenant" and the mobilization Chang Sheng made on the radio...

Did these people really listen to him? They all went!

I haven't seen this scene for more than a month, right?

How did the Alfonso Perez Stadium regain its former vitality?

Chang actually mobilized every corner of the city!

He suddenly felt that, as Chang Sheng's neighbor, he actually didn't know anything about Chang Sheng and didn't care enough...

※ ※ ※

Francisco. Flores and the president of Seville walked out of the aisle and onto the rostrum.

He froze when he saw the completely packed stadium.

The stadium atmosphere is warm and hot, as if Getafe has been upgraded...

He was shocked and in disbelief.

Getafe is like this now. It stands to reason that the number of fans who come to watch the game should be less and less.

But this game made the Alfonso Perez stadium full!

He thought of the radio show where Chang Sheng called on Getafe fans to take action.

I didn't expect these fans to really come...

Chang, that guy... really did it!

So many fans, such a hot atmosphere, is the only one Flores has seen this season. Not to mention this season, he has been in charge of Getafe for nine years, and he has not seen a scene like today many times...

I don't know why, seeing this scene, his originally shriveled body seemed to be injected with a force, and his waist straightened up.

Then he turned to look at Robert Els, the chairman of the Sevilla club next to him.

It was found that Els was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Such a frenzied and terrifying home atmosphere is rare even at the Pisjuan Stadium...

So Flores laughed.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said to Els in high spirits: "Welcome to the Alfonso Perez Stadium, Mr. Els!"

Vicente Moscodo was also stunned when he saw the scene in the stadium stands.

But after a brief absence, he regained consciousness.

It's just a bunch of ignorant fans... Even if they call this stadium down, it won't help!

The enthusiasm of the fans will soon be repelled by the team's poor performance!

When they found that their cheering was not enough to win a game, all their passion was burnt out in this game, and all that was left was ruins. By then, I am afraid that there will not be so many people coming out to support the team.

Of course he knew that these were all shouted by Chang Sheng.

But in his opinion, they are really just dying. He doesn't believe that Getafe, the bereaved dog, can beat Sevilla, the number one in the league, at home and gaining momentum!

Seeing the boss's high-spirited look made him even more upset.

After more than a month, this damned eyesore old man will leave. Although the bank will send an agent over by then, he will still be in charge of the team. The custodian generally will not specifically interfere with the team's operations, as long as it does not involve the bottom line.

So he, Moscodo, will soon become a man who promises everything in this club! At that time, no one in my head can tell me what to do with myself!

So let this game be the death knell for Flores...

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng and his players are sitting in the locker room. The TV in the locker room is on, and the pre-match program of the game is playing on it.

"This is a scene from earlier..." the host said, and the scene cut to the square of the Alfonso Perez Stadium.

The sun was brighter and more intense than now, and it could be seen that this was indeed the scene half an hour ago.

There were not many people in the square, but soon, countless fans wearing Getafe blue jerseys poured out from all directions, and their chanting slogans could be clearly heard even through the TV.

"Come on! Getafe! Go! The Blue Legion!!"

"These fans seem to have drilled out of every corner of the city, and then they gathered along the way, from scratch, from small to large, and gathered into a tower..." The host's commentary sounded. "They marched on every street in the city of Getafe and finally arrived here... To be honest, I was really shocked after seeing this scene. I didn't expect Chang Zhen to call for the team. So many fans! I am starting to worry if the Alfonso Perez Stadium can hold so many people...Maybe many of them don't have tickets at all and can't enter the stadium...But they still come, they use real Take action to show your support for Getafe!"

Chang Sheng looked at the scenes on the TV. He saw those fans marching on various streets. He saw these fans gathered from different directions, and then continued to move towards the same direction and goal.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Here they come! Live up to me, here we come!

The closed door of the locker room can't shut out the sound from outside. Everyone can hear the cheers and singing from the stands... Those are all Getafe fans!

Everyone in the locker room was breathing much more heavily, and many people clenched their fists.

Chang Sheng turned his head to look at the team members who gritted their teeth, had ruddy complexions, wide-open eyes, and clenched fists.

They were obviously also deeply infected by the actions of these fans.

Strength, courage, and love have passed from the fans to the players...

He said: "Seeing this scene, I don't think I need to say anything more? How honored are we to fight for such fans? They didn't let us down. Now it's our turn not to let them down." What should I do, I don't think I need to tell you any more?"

Pedro Canizares stood up abruptly from his seat, and the captain of the team blushed and roared, "Getafe! Fight-fight--!!!"

"Fight!!!" The others stood up one after another, shouting along with their captain. Whether it's those old players, or those trained by Getafe's youth training camp, or those who have only transferred to the team this season, or even those who came on loan...everyone, their faces are red, their necks With blue veins popping out, he opened his mouth and roared hoarsely.

※ ※ ※

When Sevilla's players were not as ready as the pitch to warm up, they were spooked.

Suddenly there was a huge roar in the stands, like a thunderclap on the ground, which startled the Sevilla players.

They couldn't help looking up at the stands, and they found that everything in their eyes was blue.

Densely packed, countless Getafe fans.

They stood in the stands, waving their arms and shouting.

I was very excited when I saw the players from both sides warming up.

All kinds of slogans and banners floated above the stands, all cheering for Getafe.

They tried to find Sevilla fans in this crowd, their only supporters, there were only five hundred people.

But they couldn't find it.

The Sevilla fans seemed completely submerged in this sea of ​​blue.

Some of Sevilla's players have participated in the first division. They have been to Real Madrid's home Bernabeu, Barcelona's home Camp Nou, Atletico Madrid's home Calderon...even their own The home stadium, Pisjuan Stadium, is known for its terrifying home atmosphere.

But these Sevilla players felt unbelievable about the scene in front of them, because the momentum bursting out of the small Alfonso Perez stadium was not lost to the Bernabeu, Camp Nou and Calderon, and it was also Not to lose to their Peasejuan Stadium.

How do these fans...

The Sevilla players suddenly panicked.

When they warmed up on the court, they all seemed absent-minded, always looking up to the stands, and the warm-up effect can be imagined.

Next to them, in the next half, the Getafe players turned a blind eye to all of this, bowing their heads and warming up seriously.

Just like their head coach did not attend the pre-match press conference because he believed that silence was more powerful than noise, today's players are also silent, accumulating strength.

If anyone thinks that such a group of people are harmless to humans and animals, they will be in trouble.

Because each of them remembers what their head coach said to them before warming up.

"Remember, guys, make those who hate us hate us even more, and give confidence and strength to those who support us! You can do it!"

※ ※ ※

ps, I was moved by writing this chapter. Even if I re-read this chapter today, more than half a month later, it still makes my eyes full of tears and my nose sore.

I love this chapter, very, very much.

I had so many images in my mind of those Getafe fans pouring out of their homes to the Alfonso Perez stadium and I wrote them down.

I think the true meaning of football lies in these ordinary fans.

It is they who hold up this sport, this industry, and they hold up countless dreams.

This chapter pays tribute to countless ordinary fans.

And of course, to you, my dear readers.

You are my ocean, without you I am nothing.

So... let's be the ocean!

On the road of chasing dreams this month, let's drown everything!

Guys, fight-fight-! ! !
