Chapter 25 Either Idiot or Crazy
The match between Getafe's first team and the youth team was scheduled in the middle of the week between the fifth round and the sixth round of the league, that is, the afternoon of September 23rd.
Getafe's training base, Las Margarita Sports City, had already attracted a lot of people at noon that day.
In addition to the media and fans who were invited, there were many people who were not invited. They came purely to join in the fun, or to express their support to Gorka.
These fans wore Getafe jerseys and held banners or slogans in support of Gorca.
In comparison, the youth team is much more pitiful.
There are no supporters, deserted.
In their view, the players of the youth team are obviously the accomplices of that damn Chinese bastard, helping a Chinese bastard to persecute their genius. Maybe they know that the youth team has sacrificed a lot for Gorka, but isn't it taken for granted? People with little talent or mediocre talent can only reflect their value if they contribute to genius.
Now they actually want to fight against the genius Gorka, is there any law for this?
Naturally, there are very few people who are willing to support the youth team, probably only the parents of the youth team players.
※※※
The youth team players are in the locker room, waiting for the game to start. They heard commotion outside.
"Gorka! Gorka! Gorka!" The cry was clear. "We all support you!!"
The faces of the youth team players were not good.
They had the feeling that the whole world thought Gorka could and deserved to win. Even if they are no longer in the same team as Gorka, they still cannot escape the fate of serving as a foil for Gorka.
At this moment, the door of the locker room was pushed open by Chang Sheng.
When everyone heard the noise, they all looked up and saw that it was Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng nodded to the two assistant coaches who were already waiting in the locker room.
Then he walked to the middle of the locker room and said to his players: "On the short way I came here, I met five reporters, and they all asked me the same question."
As he spoke, he began to imitate the tone of the reporters: "Excuse me, have you found a way out yet?"
"Look, no one believes we can win." He spread his hands.
"But I believe." His eyes were firm and his expression was serious. "I believe we can win, otherwise I would have resigned and run away. This is not to comfort you, nor is it to encourage you. You should be very clear that I have analyzed the characteristics of Gorka for you these days and our response With the strategy, you should know we can win. So don't care what the outside world thinks."
But just relying on these few words to improve the morale of the whole team seems to be insufficient.
We have to find another way.
As soon as Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, he thought of a good way.
He smiled at the players: "There is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to close your eyes and think about how that bastard Gorka treated you when he was in the youth team! Think about what he said If you want to, think about his expression, think about the things he has done. Think about why you have to contribute everything you have to help him, but he is indifferent and ungrateful!"
"Now, think about it!"
Then he fell silent, and the locker room fell into a sudden silence. After being surprised for a short time, everyone couldn't help thinking of Gorka's arrogant and domineering appearance in the youth team. There is no need to think about such examples, as long as you close your eyes, your mind will be filled with it!
Everyone closed their eyes obediently, lowered their heads, and began to think.
Some even clenched their fists.
Angulo and Segulo looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that a few words from Chang Sheng could boost the morale of the team.
They could even feel that a very terrifying and powerful force was brewing in this silent locker room. This force was accumulating, waiting for a suitable opportunity to burst forth.
They are all youth team coaches, and they know how many people in the youth team are unhappy with Gorka.
But they didn't expect the energy emanating from this unhappiness to be so amazing.
To be able to think of taking advantage of the players' dissatisfaction with Gorka... Chang Sheng's approach was beyond the expectations of Angulo and Segulo.
They thought Chang Sheng would talk about tactics at length after he came in.
※※※
Unlike the silent but powerful atmosphere in the youth team dressing room, in the first team, the atmosphere in the dressing room is very relaxed.
Not many people even discussed the game that was about to start. They were more dedicated to discussing the opponents in the next league, and those who were not very dedicated were discussing where to go to play at night.
Among these people, Gorka was also very relaxed under their influence.
First of all, he has confidence in his own strength, and secondly, he has confidence in his teammates.
With the help of the first team, he doesn't believe that he can't break the goal of the youth team. He has worked with the youth team for more than two seasons, and he knows exactly what the youth team is capable of.
There is absolutely no suspense in this game.
So much so that the first team never made any preparations for the youth team.
It wasn't until the game was about to start that Juan Lopez, the head coach of the first team, walked in and only said a very simple sentence: "The game is about to start, get ready to play, and then beat them."
On the way here, he also encountered many reporters. He always showed confidence and praised Gorka without hesitation.
He even promised the reporters that as long as Gorka performed well in this game, he would put Gorka in the squad for the next round of the league and give Gorka a certain amount of playing time.
This is the most exciting news for reporters.
They are far more happy than today's game.
Because this means that Gorka, the much-anticipated genius, finally has the opportunity to stand on the court of the professional league and bring Getafe one beautiful goal after another, one victory after another.
※※※
The club's manager, Vicente Moscodo, sat next to the club's president, Francisco Flores, looking at everything in front of him with smug complacency.
The stands were full of people, including reporters from all over the country and Getafe's most loyal fans.
They waved pro-Gorka signs and banners, making it look like a regular league game.
He is very satisfied with this atmosphere.
Gorka's father is right, if done well, this will be a game that will make Gorka famous in Spain quickly.
But it was also a game that made Getafe famous in Spain.
The club can take the opportunity to gain more attention and income.
These are all what he cares about.
This is the genius effect.
He doesn't care about the situation of the youth team at all. The only thing he has to worry about is that he has to find a head coach for the youth team again...
Francisco Flores was sitting in his seat, watching all this with a calm face. If you look carefully, you may see a little indifference in this calm.
It was as if all the excitement had nothing to do with him.
And indeed it is.
What Flores is most interested in now is not Gorka, but whether Chang Sheng can bring him some surprises.
He wanted to see if his vision could be trusted.
※※※
Because it is an intra-team game, there are not so many pre-match ceremonies.
After the players on both sides were ready, they went directly to the field.
The coaches of both sides took their seats.
The reporters all focused their cameras on Chang Sheng, the head coach of the youth team.
This person is the guy who caused this series of turmoil.
Getafe, which was originally calm, caused waves because of this man.
Facing the cameras of the reporters, Chang Sheng was expressionless, just waiting for the game to start.
※※※
When every youth team player plays, he will set his sights on Gorka who is in the first team.
But this time there was no envy or jealousy in their eyes.
Of course, Gorka couldn't see it. Under the gaze of the youth team players, he puffed up his chest and raised his head.
Smug like a proud rooster.
What he didn't know was that after seeing his expression, almost all the youth team players made disdainful voices in their hearts.
Without us, are you worthless? !
With such angry emotions, the game began.
Because this game is an intra-team game, the referee is the coach of the reserve team. This is for the sake of fairness. If the coach of the first team is used as the referee, then the youth team will definitely not do it. If the coach of the youth team is used as the referee, then the first team will not do it either. In the end, only the coach of the reserve team can be used as the referee.
The coach of the reserve team blows his whistle, and the game begins!
※※※
After seeing the starting lineup of the youth team, Juan Lopez, the head coach of the first team, froze for a moment.
Then he laughed.
Smiling very proudly.
After all, he is the coach of the youth team, so that's all he can do...
Actually discharged 433, which is obviously an offensive formation.
How stupid!
He now feels that he is not wasting time on this team, which is simply too wise!
It wasn't just Juan López who saw the formation of the youth teams.
Those reporters in the stands, fans, as well as the club manager and chairman all saw it.
433 is like a symbol, as long as it is marked with this symbol, it means that it must be full of passionate offensive football.
442 may mean offensive and defensive balance, and 433 must be offensive.
As long as 433 appears on the court, this game will definitely not be dull.
This is what fans know. So seeing that the youth team actually used 433, everyone was surprised and thought that the Chinese coach was either an idiot or a lunatic.
Many people simply think that the level of this coach is not good. Getafe Club invited him to be the head coach of the youth team. It must be a brain twitch to make such a decision.
Vicente Moscodo, who was sitting next to Flores, glanced calmly at the Mr. Chairman next to him. He didn't dare to make it too obvious. He was afraid of being caught by Mr. Chairman.
But in fact, he really wanted to express this meaning-such a poor coach, what do you like about him, Mr. Chairman?
Flores, who didn't notice the small gesture of the manager beside him, frowned too.
He frowned because he didn't know why Chang Sheng would do this. This choice is simply too bad.
Did I really miss it?
Chang Sheng sat on the coach's bench, indifferent to those mocking, ridiculing, and puzzled eyes.
He is quietly waiting for his own opportunity.
※※※
The players of the first team also went through this period of astonishment. They didn't expect the youth team's response to be so stupid.
After the initial astonishment, they began to press hard and launched an attack on the hinterland of the youth team.
They imagined that their attack was as easy as a hot knife cutting through a block of butter.
Of course, they didn't forget what the head coach specifically told them before the game-in the end, they must pass the football to Gorka and let him complete the goal. As soon as Gorka scores a goal, the game is over.
However, Gorka is not the kind of shooter who grabs points. He can't always be at the top and wait for his teammates to pass him the ball, so he has to retreat frequently.
With this retracement, he hit a wall...
