Chapter 219: A Draw
The media were happy to hype Chang Sheng's voice during that crazy celebration. This seemed to be the only thing they could find out to ridicule Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng still couldn't talk about it.
But such hype has not served their purpose.
They intended to ridicule Chang Sheng's embarrassing move, but the focus of people's attention was not on Chang Sheng's words at all. People only cared about Getafe's success in upgrading four rounds ahead of schedule. What a remarkable achievement this is.
Or even if someone noticed Chang Sheng's embarrassing sentence "leave the underwear", it was just a kind of ridicule, not a vicious mockery.
Just like a hero, there are always some small flaws that make people like him more and be more popular. If it is too perfect, it will only make people close and far away, and make people feel indifferent.
So this embarrassing incident did not lower the image of Changsheng as the media thought. On the contrary, it made him more popular—because many people found that Chang Sheng, a controversial character coach, also has a cute side, just like the people around them, kind and trustworthy, and willing to get close.
So the media didn't expect that they would not lose money by stealing chickens and hyping Chang Sheng's embarrassing stories, but instead added more fans to him.

Flores received a text message from Chang Sheng on the second day of the game.
It read: "I would like to dedicate this to my dear Mr. Chairman. Thank you for your generosity at the beginning. This is the principal and interest. It will be returned at the end of the season."
Flores smiled.
He also went to watch the game yesterday, and the atmosphere at the scene was too lively. It could almost give you a heart attack.
But he is very high.
He didn't end up rushing onto the field like other fans, scrambling to hug players and grab their jerseys.
He just stood there applauding, that's all.
Looking at this text message, he suddenly remembered that when Chang Sheng first came to Getafe, he personally interviewed him and was surprised by his youth. what he said.
"Talent has nothing to do with age."
Perhaps it was this unbridled self-confidence that made Flores finally decide to recruit him.
It's also fortunate that he made this decision... Otherwise, he might regret it now like old Hill—of course, Hill would never admit this.
He no longer doubts whether Chang Sheng is capable of leading the team to the championship.
Since he has done so many incredible things. So what is there to doubt?
Believe in him, and then watch him perform, on the line.
Flores texted back: "Thanks. Chang."
He didn't write down a sentence, but kept it in his heart: You are the best investment in my life!

When Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne went downstairs to go to the supermarket for a big purchase, he was stopped by the concierge Lemon: "Chang, when can we find time to have a drink?"
Chang Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Not now, Lemon. The season is not over yet, and it's not time to celebrate."
Lemon's eyes widened: "It's not time to celebrate yet? We've already been upgraded! Isn't this our highest goal for this season?"
Chang Sheng spread his hands: "Don't forget, we still haven't won the championship. When we win the championship, let's have another drink together, Lemon!"
finished. He patted Lemon on the shoulder, and walked out with Avril Lavigne side by side.
Lemon shouted behind him: "I remember, Chang! When we win the championship, you must have a drink with me!"
Chang Sheng waved his hand.

Four rounds of upgrades in advance allowed Getafe, a small satellite city, to be immersed in a great joyful atmosphere for a whole week.
The media reported the grand occasion of the upgrade at length. And the reaction of the fans after the upgrade.
Of course, as the heroes of the upgrade, the players are also the protagonists. Various interviews, exclusive interviews, commercial activities, radio appearances... all good things have found the players.
So this week, many people's hearts are probably out of the game.
No one cares about things like Sevilla and Real Betis winning both games.
After Chang Sheng led the team to win the qualification for promotion, he also completed a main task-"big goal", leading Getafe to the first division.
Completed this task. It means that as long as his experience is reached, he can be upgraded and enter the third level!
In fact, he is only one game away from promotion.
In addition to the experience rewarded by the game, the fastest way to experience is to complete the task.
After the King's Cup match against Celta, he completed four more tasks related to the King's Cup, and gained a total of 650,000 experience, and then added this "big goal" experience of 500,000. This is 1.15 million experience, plus 44,000 experience in the game during this period, his previous basic experience was 803,000.
So much added up, the final result is 1,997,000.
The upgrade requires experience to reach 2 million.
Win a game with 3000 experience.
Isn't this the gap of a game?
In the next game, Getafe challenged Garn away.
The opponent is not strong, and there is nothing to pursue this season. It is not a problem to win this game. While the team gets three points, they can also gain 3,000 experience points.
2 million experience reached, system upgrade.
This is Chang Sheng's only expectation for the next game.

The thirty-ninth round is a very important game, but not for Getafe, but for Atletico Madrid. Although both parties are not Atletico Madrid, but Getafe and Real Betis.
In the last round, Getafe defeated Compostela at home and advanced four rounds ahead of schedule.
Sevilla defeated Córdoba 2-0 and continued to chase Getafe. It seems that they have not given up the competition for the league title. Although Getafe has been promoted ahead of schedule, the championship battle is not over yet. It is also a matter of time before Sevilla upgrades now. So they don't care about upgrading at all. After they were relegated last season, they decided that they would definitely be upgraded this season.
Compared with promotion, they value the league championship more. Even if it is the second division, we must win the championship. Returning to the First Division as a champion is obviously more glorious than returning as an ordinary newly promoted.
In the last round, Real Betis lost to Sporting Gijon 1:2 in the away game, and the ranking has not changed. Points fell even further. Perhaps what they should consider now is not a league title, but promotion eligibility.
Because Atletico Madrid has caught up and is now ranked fourth in the league. The gap with them is not too big-this is why Getafe's away game against Real Betis in the thirty-ninth round is so important.
Real Betis currently has 78 points, ranking third in the league.
Atletico Madrid ranked fourth in the league with 72 points.
The last round of the league. Real Betis lost and Atlético Madrid won. Now the point difference between the two sides is only six points, it's a matter of two games!
Against this background, the game between Getafe and Real Betis is particularly important, because it is related to the fate of several teams.
First of all, Real Betis is naturally unwilling to catch it without a fight. Even if they have no hope of competing for the league championship, at least they must keep the third place in the league. Atletico Madrid is behind them.
So they are not willing to admit defeat, let alone this is their home field.
Secondly. Sevilla are watching the game closely. Just like Getafe paid attention to the game between Sevilla and Real Betis, and Real Betis paid attention to the match between Getafe and Sevilla, the direct dialogue between the two teams will definitely affect the other ball. team nerves.
Sevilla want Real Betis to beat Getafe so long as they beat Las Palmas away. It will regain the first place in the league. At the same time, even if Real Betis wins the ball, they cannot pose a threat to Sevilla with their points.
So they want Real Betis to win. This is for the league title.
Another team that has been paying attention to this game must be Atletico Madrid.
Atlético Madrid's feelings towards Getafe are very complicated. On the one hand, they hope that the bitch's team will go to hell immediately, and on the other hand, they hope that Getafe can beat Real Betis in this game.
They don't want Getafe to be good, they want to see Getafe make a fool of themselves. But now they have to cheer for Getafe, hoping that he can beat Real Betis.
Because if Getafe can beat Real Betis, Atletico Madrid have a chance to catch up with their opponents.
It has been thirty-nine rounds, and there are only four rounds left before the end of the league. For Atletico Madrid, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to catch up with their opponents. Especially this round of opportunities is even more rare.
Because Getafe will definitely do their best in the game in order to keep the first place in the league. For other teams, maybe they will not give it their all in the game against Real Betis.
So this opportunity is really rare for Atletico Madrid.
At this time, even if they don't want to, they still have to cheer for Getafe.
Even so, they may not necessarily be able to upgrade successfully.
Things seem to be really like what Chang Sheng said, Atletico Madrid will not be so easy to upgrade this season.
※ ※ ※
The vast majority of people are optimistic about Getafe beating Real Betis.
Even on the road, people have enough to think so.
Because Getafe is stronger, and they have just successfully upgraded, the morale of the team is high.
Even Chang Sheng felt that his team should be able to beat Real Betis on the road. Even if the process is difficult, it will not affect the final result.
But the actual result was true, his team almost lost on the road!
If it weren't for Luis Garcia's direct free kick in the 79th minute, Getafe would have lost 0:1!
In that case, they would fall from the first place in the league. And at this time, losing the first place in the league, it may not be easy to regain it!
Before this game, Sevilla had already won the game, and they temporarily ranked first in the league standings with 86 points.
After Getafe tied with Real Betis, they also scored 86 points.
They are currently ranked first with a goal difference advantage.
Although this point relationship lasted until the end of the season, Getafe can still rank first and win the championship based on their relationship with Sevilla.
But that was after three league rounds. Who knows what will happen in these three league rounds?
So this integral relationship is already very dangerous.
It's no wonder that Chang Sheng scolded the players bloody in the locker room after the game.
He watched the game with anticipation, but the players almost killed him.
In a draw, he only got 1,000 experience points, which was 2,000 experience points short.
This third-level system is just around the corner, but it can't be upgraded...
Anxious Chang Sheng scratched his ears.
※ ※ ※
Getafe drew 1:1 with Real Betis in the away game. For Sevilla, this is good news. Although not as good as Getafe's away loss to Real Betis. But at least now they and Getafe are evenly split, and then, in the last three rounds, anything is possible.
They saw the hope of regaining the first place in the league and winning the league championship.
Atletico Madrid didn't know whether they should be happy or worried.
Getafe failed to beat Real Betis, a result that disappointed Atletico Madrid.
Look, if you watch the game, any Atletico Madrid fan will probably be glad that Getafe did not lose in the end.
So this draw makes Atletico Madrid feel very complicated.
In fact, this draw is generally beneficial to Atletico Madrid.
Because Real Betis was drawn and they themselves won the game.
Now Real Betis still has 78 points, but Atletico Madrid has 75 points.
They are only three points away from each other, one game!
For Atletico Madrid, who were still struggling outside the top ten in the first half of the season, it was not easy to catch up to this point at the last moment.
They have no reason to blame Getafe for not being able to win the game.
However, Atletico Madrid's hatred for Getafe and Changsheng is deep-rooted. So they don't appreciate it at all.
After the game, the pro-Atletico Madrid media sourly criticized the ever-victorious Getafe for trying to release water after the promotion was successful. This is completely unsportsmanlike behavior and should be criticized!
"...As a team that has been promoted to the league four rounds ahead of schedule, I admit that it is really difficult to cheer them up after such a game. But they are professional players! They should have professional ethics! Professional ethics It's about giving your best in the game! No matter who the opponent is or what the situation is! But unfortunately, I didn't see that in this Getafe team... Even if they finally won the league championship, it is not a convincing team. champion of..."
In the face of the media's crazy words, Chang Sheng did not make any response.
He ignored it, but Getafe's local media complained about Chang Sheng and Getafe's grievances, and fought a war of words with each other in their respective positions.
Chang Sheng turned a deaf ear to this and turned a blind eye. He just canceled the team's next day off and asked everyone to return to the training field. It was their punishment for almost losing the game.
When his previous team encountered an economic crisis, he lost consecutive games, and he did not cancel the vacation to punish the team because of this.
But things are different now.
Support them when they are at a low point, and resolutely pour cold water on them when they are overwhelmed. Now is the time to pour cold water on them, and Chang Sheng will never show mercy.

In the fortieth round, Getafe's game was the second round of the round, which was relatively early.
They played against Sporting Ferrol at home.
In the end, Getafe defeated Sporting Ferrol 2:1 at home.
The upgrade moment Chang Sheng had been waiting for finally arrived, and the system Lin Mo was upgraded from the second level to the third level! . . )
