A day ago, everyone thought that the match between Getafe and Sevilla was a strong dialogue between the second league and the first league.
One day later, everyone discovered that the match between Getafe and Sevilla had turned into a conversation between the first and second teams in the league.
Because Sevilla was tied in this day's game, they have the same points as Getafe, but conceded more goals than Getafe, so they did not take advantage of the goal difference.
Disadvantage ranks second in the league.
The game hasn't even started yet, and both sides have already switched positions offensively and defensively.
Chang Sheng was the first to know about Getafe's promotion to first place in the league.
Because he was watching the live broadcast of the game on his home TV at that time.
As his opponent in the next round of the league, of course he studied his opponent.
Unlike those famous coaches, the club has the funds to support him to go to the competition venue to watch the scene.
So he could only watch the game live at home.
There are still many good players in this Sevilla team who played in the First Division last season.
Although they are currently relegated, Chang Sheng is very clear about their future achievements.
And the youth training system of this team is also doing well. The most famous one is Sergio Ramos.
Although the future full-back of Real Madrid is still in the youth team...
Although they often win, they dare not underestimate Sevilla's strength.
The media are right, this is indeed the first opponent that Getafe has encountered this season that can be truly called a "strong enemy".
To his surprise, Sevilla was tied 2:2 by Levante in the away game!
When the game ended, he could even hear the cheers coming from other parts of the apartment building - obviously he was not the only one paying attention to this game and this opponent.
The next day, when he came down from the apartment building, he saw the concierge Lemon.
Lemon gave him a thumbs up: "We are number one now, Chang! This is a height that Getafe has never reached in the second division!"
Chang Sheng still seemed relatively low-key: "It's just temporary. Don't be happy too early, Lemon."
"It's okay! I know it's temporary! But we haven't even had a temporary period before! This is all your fault, Chang!"
"It's the result of the hard work of the whole team, Lemon..."
"We have worked hard before, but we have never won the first place in the league. So I know very well that this is your contribution, Chang!" Lemon refused to give up, insisting that this is the credit for his constant victory.
So Chang Sheng had no choice but to admit it without humility.
Lemon then let him go.

When he came to the sports city and met his colleagues, Chang Sheng also noticed that many of them had beaming faces.
Obviously they also knew the news that Sevilla was tied.
First place in the league, although it is only temporary, is still a great achievement for Getafe.
For such a small team, they never expected to become the final champion. But if they could really sit on the top spot, even if it was only for one day, they would feel proud.
You know, not many teams can even sit in this position for a short time.
Getafe did it.
Now they feel that the goal of upgrading before the winning season doesn't sound so crazy.
We are working hard towards this goal!
On the training ground, Chang Sheng noticed that the players' attitudes were also very relaxed. They were in such a good mood that they had almost no intention of training.
And the coach who usually should be strict with them remained silent. Even the head coach like Manuel Garcia, who is known for his strict eyeballs, had a smile on his face, smiling as he watched the players goofing off in front of him.
.
He may think that the players have worked hard for so long to get the team to the top of the league, so he will let them take it easy this time. The lunch box is their reward.
But Chang Sheng doesn't want such a reward.
He blew the whistle in his mouth, sharp, sharp, and rapid, sounding continuously, like an alarm.
Then he strode onto the training field with a dark face.
Seeing his expression, many people felt a thump in their hearts.
Because they just recovered from the ecstatic feeling and realized that this was training, and the head coach valued discipline in training the most.
"If I didn't blow the whistle, maybe you would practice so lightly until the end of training, right?"
Chang Sheng asked everyone.
"I know why you are so happy because of something. Isn't it just to be number one in the league? You have only been here for one day and you are so happy? Look at your achievements! Does it make sense to be number one in the league?
Maybe you will fall off the top spot in the next game! You will be extremely embarrassed, and then people will laugh at you! Don't think I am being alarmist, don't you know what the media environment is like?"
Chang Sheng started to lecture others with a sullen face.
"The next game is far more important to us than ranking first in the league! If you are so careless in training, I can guarantee that we will lose the next game! Do you know who our opponent is? Yes.
Sevilla! They are the favorites for promotion! No... not even promotion, but the favorites for the championship! Do you have the right to look down on others now?"
No one said a word, the players all lowered their heads, and the coaches looked a little embarrassed.
"Or is it that the previous consecutive victories have made each of you feel elated? Do you think you can definitely be promoted this season? Many of you are veterans, right? Don't you still know the characteristics of the professional league? Do you want me to teach you?"
The words were all said in complete silence, and no one dared to even take a breath.
Chang Sheng did not intend to dwell on this issue any longer. His time was precious and it would be a waste if he used it to curse others.
After he finished teaching others, he left the training ground.
Before leaving, he said: "I'll say the ugly things first. If I see another person who is lazy and absent-minded in training, he will report to the B team for me! I would rather not win this game than be number one in the league.
I also want you to remember this lesson! Maybe to you, being first in the league is important, but not to me! I do what I say, and if you don’t accept it, give it a try!”
After saying that, he exited the training ground.
Rudy Gonzalez blew the whistle to signal that training would resume.
No one dared to relax any more, and they even worked harder than usual.
No one will want to try it.
Just kidding! All of us have seen that the coach does what he says!
Who would be really stupid enough to test the head coach's bottom line on this...
And in order to avoid being caught by the head coach, we have to work even harder.
Chang Sheng is deeply satisfied with this situation.
A few words of scolding can be exchanged for the whole team training hard. It's really a good deal...

After a week of hard work... no, it should be hard training, Getafe finally ushered in the game.
No one dropped out during training, so naturally no one reported to the B team.
Chang Shengli used the Thunder's methods of rectifying those rogue gangs last season, and has successfully established the image of a strong-armed coach in the minds of the remaining players. This image will make many people automatically ignore the fact that he is only 28 years old.
And this image helps him control the team.
So when he got angry with a black face on the training ground, no one would think there was anything wrong.
This is true whether you are a player or a coach.
Everyone has already accepted this image unconsciously.
In fact, Chang Sheng himself had this illusion. He felt that he did not look like a twenty-eight-year-old young man, nor did he look like someone who had traveled through time to be thirty-year-old. He felt as if he was already fifty-eight.
He was as old as he was. The experience accumulated in his two lives was concentrated on him. He suddenly felt a little strange.
He is obviously as energetic as a young man, but sometimes he seems old-fashioned.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I liked an "old man" on the forum before...

The press conference before the game against Sevilla was still attended by Manuel Garcia.
However, there were still a few reporters who didn't come this time, and Javier Passos from Marca was among them.
At the pre-match press conference, Manuel Garcia said that although it was an away game, he would still work hard to win.
"We took the train for several hours. We didn't come here to admit defeat," Manuel Garcia said.
That night, his words appeared in the evening newspapers, TV and radio.
In the hotel room, Chang Sheng gave Manuel Garcia a thumbs up: "That's great, Manuel!"
Manuel Garcia was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, I learned it from you..."
"Learned from me?" Chang Sheng was a little surprised.
"Yeah, every time I attend a press conference, every time I face questions from reporters, I think about how you would answer their questions if this were you here... So, uh, that's it."
Manuel Garcia became more and more embarrassed as he spoke.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this. Manuel, you are who you are. Just show the media what you are. That's fine."
"Well... I'm always worried that if I sit poorly, it will affect the image of the club..."
Chang Sheng sighed in his heart - What a good man!
"But isn't it too tiring to do this?"
Manuel Garcia nodded: "Sometimes it is indeed a bit tiring, especially when their questions are too tricky."
"You can refuse to answer."
"But I don't want reporters to find fault... I want to work hard to do a good job."
In the end, Chang Sheng could only pat him on the shoulder: "Be yourself, Manuel. No matter what others think, be yourself. You may not be lovable, but you can live an easy life. Just like me...
Ha!" He said at the end, grinning widely.
The smile is very mean.
But true.
Not hypocritical at all.
