Chapter 209 It's Not About Money

Getafe fans think that even if the team loses or draws now, they will have no dissatisfaction. full text..

But that's what the fans think, and they're more emotional.

As the head coach of the team, Chang Sheng can't think so.

He has won three consecutive victories, so is the second position in the league secure?

No!

Far from it!

As long as he loses a game and Betis wins a game, Getafe will return to third place in the league.

So now Getafe must win, not to mention losing, even a draw may be fatal to them.

After all, they just pulled Real Betis away by two points.

Therefore, after winning three consecutive victories, the team resumed training. The first thing Chang Sheng did was to gather the players and tell them what to do next.

"Three wins in a row is nothing to be proud of, guys. Because we're only two points ahead of Real Betis in third and five points behind Sevilla in first. One misstep and we'll fall Go third. So my request is very simple - in the next game, those who should win must win, and those who should not win must also win!"

Before the thirty-second round, before the match against Sporting Gijon, it was the monthly salary day again.

And this time there is no suspense, Getafe can't spend a penny to pay the players and staff salaries.

Harvey Passos is like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, desperately hyping up this matter.

In his opinion. This is an iconic event that will surely become a turning point for Getafe's season.

For three consecutive months, the Getafe club has not paid the team a salary. According to the regulations, the players can already go on strike!

This is the last straw that crushes Getafe!

But in the Getafe team, they were very calm about not paying the salary this time.

There are reporters coming to the training ground,

Trying to capture the chaos and desperation after the team went three months without salary. But all they saw was a scene of calm.

The reporters were dumbfounded.

This disappoints them.

Fifteen minutes of open time for the media passed, and they did not find any clues.

Getafe's players don't seem to know that they have been owed three months' salary.

Aren't they supposed to be out on the training ground and then plotting strikes in the locker room?

Why do you look so happy now?

There must be something wrong, right?

Before he could find the answer. [. They were kicked out by the vicious security guards.

Before leaving, Harvey Passos was very unwilling and kept looking back.

But Harvey Passos, the uncharacteristically victorious pioneer, seemed particularly calm.

This piqued the curiosity of other journalists. Facing a group of curious reporters, Harvey Passos smiled inscrutably: "Don't worry, everyone, in a few days, I think we will get the news we want!"

He spoke with great confidence, as if he knew some inside information.

Actually he did know the inside information.

Because Harvey Passos received a call a few days ago, saying that it was from the Spanish Players Union, who contacted him hoping to report on the strike of Getafe players.

This made Passos so excited that he almost peed, and was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

The Spanish Players Union has finally got the Getafe players dealt with!

They must have come to some sort of agreement, otherwise they wouldn't have come to me asking for coverage.

So to say. The strike of Getafe players should be in these few days, and it won't be too long.

At that time, he must go to the scene to witness the collapse of Getafe and the defeat of Changsheng!

As Getafe captain Pedro Canizares walked out of the dressing room and towards the car park, the phone in his pocket rang.

After he connects. A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Pedro, I think you need our help now, right?"

He thought he would get an affirmative answer.

But Canizares shook his head and said, "No, we don't need the union's help right now."

"What?" The person on the phone thought he heard it wrong, "Is the signal bad? I didn't hear clearly..."

"I said, the Getafe team does not need the help of the union." Canizares repeated.

"This... has your salary been paid?"

"No. No. We haven't been paid for three months," Canizares said.

"Then why don't you need help? We can help you contact and organize a strike!" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed incredible. "Don't you need us to help you recover the wages you owe?"

Pedro Canizares rang out what Changsheng had said to his players on the training ground that day.

So he said to the other party: "Sometimes, playing football is not just for money. Thank you, Garcia. But we are not going to strike now."

"Stop joking, Pedro! You are professional players! Professional players don't play football for money, why? If you don't go on strike, the management will treat you as lambs that are easy to deal with and ignore you! You must Demonstrate your power by going on strike, and tell the damn management that you cannot be ignored! I have already contacted the media for you..."Marca" and "Aspen", the absolute big media! It will definitely let you Your strike is known all over the country..." Garcia on the other end of the phone was trying to convince Pedro Garcia.

"Thank you very much, Garcia. But the strike is not good for us, the strike will destabilize the team..."

"That's right, but only in this way can the damn club value you and fear you!"

"We don't need that, Garcia. We want stability. Because we have more important things to do."

"you……"

"We want to create a season that all Getafe fans will never forget, and we want to win the league championship." Canizares said proudly. "Thank you for your care and support these months. But it's not about money."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Garcia's roar of "Are you crazy? Are you all crazy?" and hung up the phone.

He looked back at the green grass training ground and felt more relaxed than ever. For more than a month before, he had been swinging between falling to the ground and whether to strike.

He is currently the longest-serving player in Getafe, the captain, and the chairman of the Getafe players' union.

As the president of the players union. He must fully consider the interests of his teammates. But as a veteran who has played for Getafe for four seasons, he does not want the team to continue to be turbulent because of the strike. He knows what a strike means to this team. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

In this way, because of his duties, he had to protect the interests of his players. Then strike. On the other hand, he doesn't want the team to be hurt, so he can't go on strike.

It was very painful for him to swing back and forth like this.

But now, he finally doesn't have to make such a difficult choice in the future.

He and the entire Getafe team don't have to be in a dilemma and fall into disagreements.

All of this is naturally not because they all figured it out, but because of Chang Sheng's efforts.

The team started winning again, and everyone saw hope. They found that what Chang Sheng said to them was not a blank promise, but a real possibility of realization.

League champions...

Getafe never dared to think about it before. Even if it's just the champion of the second division. Also amazing!

He thought of what Chang Sheng did when he first came to this team.

In fact, many players are not used to it.

But he was able to lead the team to victory, and he could also bring confidence to the team that was in despair of relegation at the time.

Immediately, everyone accepted him.

In fact, it's that simple. Victory brings confidence, which in turn brings victory. A head coach who can lead his team to victory. No matter how outrageous his words and deeds are, his team is standing behind him.

Chang Sheng once said that he hoped that at the end of the season, he could say "It's an honor to fight side by side with you".

Pedro Canizares thought to himself, in fact, the person who wants to say this most should be himself.

It's a real honor to be able to work with such an amazing coach.

Javi Passos has been waiting for news of the Getafe players' strike. It was like waiting for the gunshots of the uprising.

But I didn't expect to wait until the next round of the league was about to start, and I didn't wait for further news.

The Spanish Players Union simply stopped contacting him directly.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to call himself to ask about the follow-up development of this matter.

As a result, the other end of the phone was very frustrated and said indignantly: "It's gone! The strike is gone!"

"Ah? What's going on here?" Passos was taken aback.

"They canceled their strike plan by themselves! I really don't understand... What they said was not a matter of money, it has nothing to do with money... What did they ask us for before?" The person on the other end of the phone was quite resentful Meaning, gritted teeth and complained about the Getafe players.

He originally planned to take good care of the Getafe players' strike, to ring the bell for those Spanish football clubs who wantonly owed the players' wages, and tell them that the players also have strength, and don't think that the players are easy to bully.

That's why he contacted major newspapers such as "Marca" and "Aspen", intending to focus on, follow up reports, dig deeper, and criticize the poor economic situation of Spanish football.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the Getafe players who are the protagonists are scared!

Can this not make him angry?

Harvey Passos didn't care why the other party was so angry. He didn't even listen to what he said next.

All he could think of was one sentence: "They themselves canceled the strike plan! It's gone, the strike is gone!"

The turning point he was most looking forward to... just gone!

He thought that Getafe would definitely plummet because of this, but it didn't happen!

His previous ridicule of Getafe and Changsheng now seems so ridiculous. Moreover, his "foresighted" calmness outside the Getafe training base has also become "laughing and generous".

He couldn't figure it out, Getafe hadn't paid their salary for three fucking months, why didn't these people go on strike? Why exactly? !

Not only did they not go on strike, but their combat effectiveness has soared compared to before!

Three consecutive victories!

How did they do that?

Could it be that these players are all M physiques, and they are happy when they owe their salaries, and feel uncomfortable when they are paid on time every month?

Damn, how could there be such a cheap person in this world!

In the thirty-second round of the league, Getafe played against Sporting Gijon at home.

In the game, Luis Garcia opened the scoring for Getafe.

But the tenacious Sporting Gijon quickly equalized the score.

Just when the score was deadlocked, Getafe's captain Pedro Canizares stepped forward.

In a header from a corner, Jose Passarella headed for the first point, but the ball bounced off the crossbar. Canizares, who was ambushing in the penalty area, made a beautiful dive to the top and pushed the football into Sporting Gijon's goal!

Getafe finally relied on Pedro Canizares' goal to beat Sporting Gijon 2:1 at home.

Achieved four consecutive victories!

More importantly, less than two hours after the end of the game, there was a news that made all Getafe fans cheer at the Pisjuan Stadium.

Sevilla lost 0:1 to Garn at home, and it was an upset!

In this way, Getafe is only two points away from Sevilla, which is the number one in the league!

Two points, the first place in the league is within reach!

When Chang Sheng said at the press conference after the team's loss to Murcia that Getafe would return to No. 1 in the league after a few rounds, the reporters laughed out loud. These reporters teased and ridiculed Chang Sheng with laughter, as if it was the funniest joke they had ever heard in their life.

But now, they are only two points away from the first place in the league, just one game away.

In the face of such a reality, many reporters could not laugh out loud.

PS, this is a great season, not only the fans, but also the great Getafe players. Not getting a salary for three months, still doing his best on the court to maintain the stability of the team off the court.

Such players are worthy of admiration, even if they are a group of nobody!

It's a great day too, my readers and friends, you are all great!
