Although Getafe defeated relegated teams such as Sevilla and Real Betis in the league, it also defeated first-division teams such as Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey. [Absolute power..]
But when they meet Atletico Madrid in the league, they will inevitably feel a little scared.
This has nothing to do with the strength gap between the two teams, nor with their current league rankings. This is a deeply rooted concept.
In the Madrid area, Atlético Madrid is the second-largest club after Real Madrid, the eldest brother among the big brothers.
Even facing Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is not afraid.
Even Real Madrid admits that their real rival is not Barcelona, ​​but Atletico Madrid.
In the league, Atletico Madrid can compete with teams like Real Madrid.
Then Getafe is naturally not worth mentioning in their eyes.
For Getafe, Atlético Madrid is so high up there that they can only look up at them.
This concept has long been rooted in the minds of every football player in the Madrid area.
Even if Getafe can defeat Sevilla and eliminate Celta Vigo, it has nothing to do with this matter.
Their awe for Atletico Madrid comes from the bottom of their hearts and has historical reasons.
Chang Sheng understands the shrinking mentality of country bumpkins who have never seen the world when they see aristocratic lords. Although Getafe is in the Madrid area, they are really just a suburban team.
In downtown Madrid, there are only Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is like a god. In comparison, Atletico Madrid is a little closer to them, but for Getafe, this gap makes no difference.
They are beggars and Atletico Madrid is the king.
Although Atletico Madrid is still human, does this make sense?
Getafe is still out of reach.
Not to mention Geta Fe, in fact, other Spanish second division teams also look up to Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid can be called the "Titanic" in the Second Division this season - "Titanic" is not an exaggeration to describe this team. The funds used by Atletico Madrid to prepare for the new season are close to 100 million, more than the Spanish Second Division.

The sum of the budgets of all other teams. Atletico Madrid’s away game against them is a festival for these small teams, because on that day the stadium will definitely be full of people, vying to see the leader of La Liga. This is for small teams with limited budgets

It is undoubtedly a considerable amount of income.
Although Chang Sheng understands this mentality very well, it does not mean that he will agree with its existence.
If he wants to complete his revenge, he will never be able to do it with a Getafe team with such mentality.
If you are timid before you fight, what else can you do to start this game?
So the most important thing is to boost the morale and confidence of the players and make them realize that Atletico Madrid is not a king, but a dog wallowing in the mire like them.
This work actually started a week before the game.
※※※
Push the time forward one week.
Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella came to Las Margarita Sports City together and planned to start a day of training.
But when they entered the locker room, they found something strange in the locker room today.
Before training started in the past, teammates would either sit in their seats and do their own thing, or gather together in small groups to chat.
Today, everyone is gathered in one place, surrounded by three floors inside and three outside, and they don’t know what they are looking at.
Carlos Campo stepped forward and patted **Vicci on the shoulder: "Brother, what's going on?"
**Vicci emerged from the crowd and pointed behind him: "See for yourself." His expression was a little strange.
Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella looked at each other and both saw doubts.
Carlos Campo began to squeeze in.
Passarella stood on the outside, he was not in a hurry.
People will always disperse anyway, so he knows what’s inside
Because in the crowd in front of him, people were constantly squeezing in, and the expressions on their faces were very strange.
Carlos Campo, who squeezed into the crowd, exclaimed from inside: "What is this?!"
※※※
Jose Passarella stood in front of the blackboard - it was a very common blackboard in the locker room. He usually wrote messages such as "meeting after training in the afternoon" and "team committee activities".
Few people pay attention to this blackboard, but today it was crowded with people.
Jose Passarella has gathered another group of players.
There was a piece of paper posted on the blackboard today.
It reads: "Beat Atletico Madrid, my first big-character poster!"
Jose Passarella, like his friend Carlos Campo, didn’t know what it was.
It doesn’t matter, just look down.
Looking down, there is a fragment of a newspaper. It has obviously been cut out from the complete newspaper, enlarged, printed, and pasted directly under the title.
The report has nothing to do with Getafe, but is related to Getafe’s opponent, Atletico Madrid.
"A disastrous away defeat! Why should Atletico Madrid return to Serie A like this?"
This is the headline in the newspaper.
The specific content is as follows: "...In the new season of the Spanish Second Division, Atletico Madrid is definitely a giant and a favorite for promotion. Many people think that they are just coming to the Second Division to go through a process. At the end of this season, they will definitely be the best.

The first place in the league returned to the first division... But in the first round of the league, the cruel reality gave all Atletico Madrid fans a blow! Atletico Madrid, the strong promotion favorite, actually lost to Lewandowski 1:4 in an away game

Special! The biggest upset in this round of the league! With such a huge score gap, the players of Atletico Madrid seem to have not recovered from the blow of being relegated last season..."
To be honest, although Atletico Madrid is well-known, Getafe players really rarely pay attention to the news about Atletico Madrid. In their minds, Atletico Madrid has always been a giant. As for how powerful he is, that's not it.

Important.
So they only heard about Atletico Madrid's loss in the first round, but they didn't know the specific situation.
Now this big-character poster has given a group of people an opportunity to understand the specific details.
They gathered around the big-character poster and read it carefully.
Only then did they realize that Atletico Madrid had lost so miserably in that game.
1:4 Ah!
The opponent is still Levante!
Levante is not a strong team in the second division. When Getafe played against them in the first half of the league, they easily defeated them 2:0 at home.
It was such a team that was easily defeated, but it defeated Atletico Madrid with a score of 4:1 in the first round of the league.
Some people were surprised and asked in their hearts: "Is Atletico Madrid so unbearable?"
After Carlos Campo read it, he came out and found Jose Passarella.
"What are you doing posting Atletico Madrid reports in the locker room?"
Jose Passarella said with a smile: "This must be the boss's idea. I think he hopes that we will reduce our fear of Atletico Madrid."
"Afraid? I'm not afraid of Atletico Madrid!" Carlos Campo snorted disdainfully.
Passarella said: "You are not afraid, but some people are. We are a team from the suburbs of Madrid and know the Madrid team very well. For a long time, we have had a mentality of looking up to Atletico Madrid. I think

The boss must not want us to look up to our opponents like this in this game, right?"
※※※
In the next few days, players can see news excerpts about Atletico Madrid on the blackboard every day.
But it’s all negative news.
For example, in the second round of the league, Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 at home to Huelva. In the third round of the league, Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 away from Gahn, resulting in a three-game losing streak. Why did Atletico Madrid win three games and draw three consecutive games?

Ah. What about Madrid being relegated and losing two games in a row? What about Atletico Madrid chairman Hill being embroiled in a lawsuit and scandal? What about Atletico Madrid generals being at odds with each other...
These negative news are actually scattered, so they usually don’t attract much attention.
But when someone new collects them and distributes them centrally, it will inevitably give people the illusion that Atletico Madrid has fallen into a dire situation.
It makes people think that Atletico Madrid is now at the end of its rope.
But in fact, although Atletico Madrid's recent situation is not good, it is not as bad as anyone thinks.
But this psychological illusion has helped Getafe players alleviate their deep-rooted fear of Atletico Madrid.
They began to discuss Atletico Madrid's embarrassment and talked enthusiastically about Atletico Madrid's recent troubles...
Wait wait wait.
Amid the chatter and laughter among the Getafe players, Atletico Madrid's status in their hearts is also declining day by day.
Maybe these people haven't noticed it themselves, but they are becoming more and more disdainful of Atletico Madrid.
Until Jesus Hill was interviewed by reporters, he humiliated both Changsheng and Getafe.To be continued...
