Chapter 9 Goodbye, Getafe
No judgment was made on the day of the court session, and it is estimated that several court sessions will be held before the result is reached. "Sports Weekly" is not a persimmon that can be pinched casually, and it will definitely have to struggle for a while.
There is no need for Chang Sheng to stay here and wait for the result.
He didn't go anywhere the next day, he spent a good time with his parents, and then set off to leave.
This time he didn't go to South America or North America, he flew directly back to Spain.
Madrid, Spain.
Now that he was leaving, some things naturally had to be dealt with.
Like the rented house in Getafe, and... that bottle of sherry.
※※※
Clement was in his room, performing his duties as a porter.
There was an unopened bottle of sherry on his desk.
Most of the time he was performing his duties as a porter, but when his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of sherry, his mind would come alive again.
He thought about that promise.
When the team really upgrades, we must invite Chang Sheng to have a good drink!
He hasn't forgotten yet.
But it seems like someone else forgot...
Since Chang Sheng left Getafe that time, he never came back. He returned to China directly from Valencia.
He has already signed with Valencia and will not stay at Getafe any longer.
So, can I invite him to drink this glass of wine?
While Lymon was feeling sad, the door was suddenly pushed open. He quickly raised his head and looked through the window. Wanted to see who came in.
Then he saw Chang Sheng's smiling face: "Lemon! You didn't drink my wine secretly, did you?"
Clement was stunned, he thought he had misread it.
But the next second he reacted, he jumped up: "Chang! Damn you, you damn...how did you come back?"
"I haven't said goodbye to you yet,
Of course I'm coming back..."
Before Chang Sheng finished speaking, he was hugged by Lemon, and the strong body odor of the black man stimulated Chang Sheng's nose. But Chang Sheng now feels sore nose, but it is definitely not because of this.
Even if you have already decided to leave. The people here... don't seem to hate themselves either.
"Yes, you must come back and bid us a good farewell!" Clement said through gritted teeth in his ear.
Then he let go of Chang Sheng, turned around and walked back to his room. When I came out again, I took out a bottle of wine.
"This is the best sherry in my collection. As I said, I must have a drink with you this time. You can't make any more excuses..."
As he spoke, Lemon was about to open the wine bottle.
Chang Sheng was stopped by him: "How about this evening, I will invite everyone to dinner tonight, we will have a party in the courtyard, then I will have a drink with you!"
Then he patted Lemon on the shoulder: "Now, I have to inform the others."
After speaking, he started to go upstairs, knocking on doors from house to house.
Clement looked at the corner of the stairs, and looked down at the bottle of sherry in his hand that he had preserved for seven years.
He fumbled for the body of the glass bottle and sighed softly.
※※※
That night, a simple farewell party was held on the patio of the apartment building.
Because Chang Sheng was notified shortly. So it was just a simple dinner party. Aunt Maria contributed her best paella, and then Chang Sheng called some chefs from the restaurant to cook other delicacies.
But it seems that everyone has a tacit understanding, but they didn't say anything about leaving at the party. Neither Chang Sheng's neighbors nor Chang Sheng himself mentioned it.
They were just chatting together and talking about the past. Tell me about what happened when Chang Sheng first came to this apartment.
Talk about the celebration party that everyone held for Chang Sheng after he won his first first-team match.
Tell me about how Chang Sheng saved Kate Gracie, who was about to commit suicide, with a three-inch tongue on the rooftop.
Talk about Christmas parties.
Talk about how the team beat Atletico Madrid home and away.
Talk about how Chang Sheng led the team back on track when the club was in an economic crisis, promoted four rounds ahead of schedule, and won the championship one round ahead of schedule.
...
They talked a lot about the past, and Chang Sheng recalled the past season with them. Every bit is in my heart.
Chang Sheng laughed with them, sighed together, and remained silent together.
Then, finally, it was time to actually say goodbye.
At the end of the party, Javier Carmona came up and gave Chang Sheng a hug: "No matter where you are, do it well, Chang! It's a pity that Getafe couldn't keep you... that damn Moscow has gone Yes, he paid the price for this, but unfortunately...no amount of price can make you come back..."
Then he couldn't continue, his eyes were a little red after drinking some wine.
He is really reluctant to let Chang Sheng go... It's a pity, good luck tricks people.
"I never thought of leaving Getafe just like that, Javier..."
Javier Carmona nodded, gave Chang Sheng a hug, and left.
The next person standing in front of Chang Sheng was the Daniel wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He pushed the frame, but instead of hugging, he just reached out and held Chang Sheng's hand: "I wish you good luck, Usually. Your choice is okay... No, don't laugh, I am not taking the opportunity to ridicule you. If it were me, I would do the same. Staying at Getafe will certainly allow you to continue to strengthen your name in our hearts position, but it is not good for your career. Getafe is so big, when you are here, you have already fully exploited the potential of the team and the city... I have never seen Alfonso Pe As long as the Reis stadium is full, there are still so many people wanting to come in...but that's all. Getafe is a small city, and the population and economic foundation of the city here determine it. Getafe There is no way for this team to make big progress...and you, Chang, you are an ambitious person and capable, so you can't stay in this small place, you should go to a bigger and better stage to show your talent Talent. Valencia are really good, they have a strong squad already. You don't have to do much to keep a continuity..."
Daniel took out his demeanor of lecturing in college, and began to analyze Changsheng's career plan endlessly.
There was no impatient expression on Chang Sheng's face, but he nodded frequently, indicating that Daniel was right.
Finally, Daniel patted Chang Sheng on the shoulder: "It's getting better and better, and the stage is getting bigger and bigger. Don't go back. I don't want to see you return to Getafe to coach in the future!"
Because of this last sentence, Aunt Maria glared at Daniel, and then walked up to Chang Sheng. Looking at Chang Sheng, his expression suddenly became a little tangled, and his mouth murmured.
Chang Sheng looked at her like this. He took the initiative to step forward and hugged the fat Aunt Maria.
"Ha, I'm so glad to see you're still so pretty, Aunt Maria. I won't be able to eat at your house anymore, I'll miss you..."
Speaking of Cengfan, Aunt Maria finally remembered what she should say. "You're right, Chang. Let me tell you, leaving Getafe is a huge loss for you! Do you know, because you won't be able to eat the paella made by Aunt Maria! Although Wa Rencia is the birthplace of paella, but I can guarantee that mine is the best!"
Chang Sheng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's right. I know I know, Aunt Maria. I have already eaten it. Valencia's paella is indeed not as good as Aunt Maria's secret homemade assorted seafood. The food is delicious!"
Aunt Maria was amused by Chang Sheng's words: "You can talk nonsense! But it's good! Well, I won't say anything to embarrass you, Chang. I wish you good luck. Chang. I hope you get better and better. Well, getting more and more famous..."
At the end, Aunt Maria's eyes were turning red, and her voice was choked up.
"Thank you, Aunt Maria, thank you." Chang Sheng was also saddened by Aunt Maria's appearance.
That's why he didn't want to say goodbye to the players. To be honest... It's really annoying to say goodbye to this kind of thing.
In front of these neighbors, Chang Sheng may be able to show his true feelings without feeling ashamed. But in front of the players, he has always appeared as a tough guy, how can he show weakness in front of his own players?
This is the creed of Changsheng. As a head coach, you must be the pillar of the players at all times, and let them feel that you can rely on you. No matter whether you are in front or behind, you must not let them see that you are weak. On the one hand, you can't let them think that you are actually an ordinary person who has the same weaknesses as them, will be injured, bleed, fail, or even die.
You have to make the players think that you are an invincible god, and that will work.
Since he is a god, he naturally cannot express his emotions in front of the players.
The last person standing in front of Chang Sheng was the concierge Lemon, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
"I wanted to have a drink with you, but after thinking about it, I'd better give you this bottle of wine."
Chang Sheng was a little surprised: "Didn't we drink at night?"
Clement shook his head: "It's another bottle, not this one."
Chang Sheng smiled: "How many treasures do you have, Lemon?"
"Don't worry about it, anyway, I'll give you this bottle of wine! But don't keep it for too long, it's almost mature, drink it quickly."
"Then why not drink it today?"
"That's not okay, this is a gift from me personally, Chang." Lemon insisted.
Hearing what he said, Chang Sheng had no choice but to take his collection, and thanked him: "Thank you, Lemon. Thank you."
Clement waved his hands again and again: "It's me who said thank you."
Aunt Maria next to her also said, "Yes, I should say thank you..."
"It's us." Daniel pushed the frame and added.
Other people and neighbors also nodded, and they all stood behind everyone and in front of Chang Sheng.
Aunt Maria looked back at them, then turned around and said to Chang Sheng: "Yes, I only agreed to Daniel once today."
Hearing what Aunt Maria said, Daniel smiled helplessly.
Aunt Maria continued: "It is indeed us who I said thank you. Go to Valencia and do a good job. Don't think about what happened to Getafe. If we meet in the first division, don't think about it. ,often."
Chang Sheng was very moved. He shook his head and said, "I won't, Aunt Maria. I am very professional!"
Everyone laughed.
Then with laughter, Chang Sheng bid farewell to his Getafe time.
In this small satellite city southwest of Madrid, Chang Sheng completed the transformation from an ordinary fan to a real head coach.
And in Valencia in the east of Spain, he will continue to work hard for his dream.
Becoming the world's top head coach, the achievement is extremely brilliant, so that everyone who has witnessed his growth can be proud of it! . .
