Chapter 149: Soldiers never tire of cheating (1560)
Starting from that night, the evening newspapers, radio and TV were full of news about Chang Sheng bowing to Harvey Passos at the press conference. (..read)
Anyone who pays attention to La Liga or the Copa del Rey will not miss this news.
The reporters were so excited that they almost announced Chang's victory and defeat.
No wonder they were so excited, because this is indeed very, very rare.
They have always been at a disadvantage in the war with Chang Sheng and have never won.
But this time, they actually won!
For a time, many media even had a sense of unreality.
Thought I was dreaming.
"...Today at the press conference, a surprising scene appeared..."
"...Getafe head coach Chang, who is known for his tough personality, actually admitted that his team could not beat Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey!"
"This is really incredible... You must know that last season, in the first game of his coaching team, Getafe met Osasuna, the league's number one at the time. The result was often in the news before the game It was announced at the press conference that his goal for this game is to win..."
"...Everyone thought he was crazy at the time. But in the end he really led the team to defeat Osasuna 3:2!"
"Everyone who is familiar with Chang knows that he is a very tough person. No matter what situation he encounters, he will not give up easily. So his bowing his head this time is very surprising..."
"...Although it is surprising that he took the initiative to admit defeat, if we analyze it carefully, we will find that it is not surprising at all. This is expected. Because no matter what, Chang's opponents were in the second league. Even if there are strong opponents, they are only limited in their strength. As long as you work hard or have better luck, you can still create miracles. But this Copa del Rey game is different. Their opponent is Celta Vigo. They are a team in the First Division and have performed well this season, ranking eighth. The huge strength gap between the two sides can erase all possibilities. Even if Getafe is playing at home, it will not help..."
"I admit that many of Chang's transformations at Getafe this season were successful. However, no matter how his team is transformed, it cannot escape the category of a second-division team. And his opponent is a first-division team... This I’m afraid Chang Sheng is also very aware of the strength gap between them. That’s why he behaved like this at the press conference..."
"This is not Chang Sheng's surrender in advance, this is the fact that forced him to lower his head. Even if he doesn't want to bow his head, it won't work...A team and a B team are completely different concepts. This season, they were relegated from the A to You can see it from the second division teams... Sevilla performed the best, but they still lost to Getafe. What does this mean? It shows that they lost a lot of their original players. , the overall strength has changed from Class A to Class B..."
"Getafe's bench is not strong enough, which is the fatal weakness of a small team. If you have to deal with two lines of warfare at the same time, I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of both lines. The smart way is to give up one end. The league cannot give up. Getafe is very hopeful to compete for promotion places this season. Even though they are currently ranked first in the league, there is still a chance that they will fall from this position due to carelessness with half of the league... In order to ensure To avoid relegation, the team will definitely invest more troops in the league. In this way, the only thing that can be given up is the King's Cup... In fact, we can see the clues from the last round of the King's Cup... Chang Sheng, who basically never rotates, actually replaced half of the main players in that game for the first time..."
"So I think there is no suspense about the Copa del Rey match on January 4th. So what if Getafe is playing at home? Celta will definitely beat Getafe easily!"
Chang Sheng watched the guests' analysis of what he had done on TV and laughed non-stop.
Kate Gracie next to her was surprised: "People don't think highly of you, but you can still laugh?"
Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Of course, now I especially hope that they will look down on me even more!"
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"You're the one who's sick!" Chang Sheng rolled his eyes and explained. "There is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War..."
He originally wanted to ask for a code, but when he thought that Kate Gracie was not Chinese and might not know what Sun Tzu's Art of War was, let alone the code in it, what he said was in vain. He had to give up the showoff.
Thoughts, he explained honestly: "Our strength is weaker than Celta. If we want to defeat them, we can't use hard strength, but have to think of other ways and find another way. I took the initiative to show weakness, just because I want to
Let the other side think that we do not pose a threat to them and let them underestimate the enemy. Only in this way can we have a chance."
Kate Gracie is not a fool. Chang Sheng explained it briefly and he understood.
"No wonder you want these media to look down on you. Their propaganda will help you mislead your opponents and give them the impression that 'Getafe is nothing to worry about.' Then you will take advantage of it."
Chang Sheng nodded and said in Chinese: "A child can be taught."
"What did you say?"
"I said you have a bright future."
"Don't think I'm an idiot, I still understand such a simple truth. But are you sure your approach will work?" Kate Gracie asked.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."
Kate Gracie couldn't take a breath, she was choked and coughed.
After finally calming down, he glared at Chang Sheng: "You don't know?"
"Yeah, I don't know." Chang Sheng spread his hands and shrugged.
"How could you not know?"
"Why should I know? I don't have special powers and can directly see through other people's hearts. How do I know what others think? But if I do it, it is possible to succeed. If I don't do it, it won't exist at all.
There is a possible opportunity. As long as the other party has the slightest contempt for us, that is our opportunity!"
"You are gambling..."
"The small fish wants to eat the big fish, which is gambling. Without paying the price or taking the risk, just trying to defeat the weak with the strong. Even fantasy novels dare not write like this." Chang Sheng seemed very calm.
"Then I can only wish you good luck..." Kate Gracie didn't know what to say.
"Thank you!"

There is another person sitting in front of the TV watching this TV program like Chang Sheng.
Of course, many people watch TV, and many people see this program.
But this person is different, because he is Victor Fernandez, the head coach of Celta Vigo.
He was sitting in a room with the lights turned off, and there was only the light from the TV screen. The light shone on his face, flickering on and off.
And he was looking at the TV screen without saying a word, as if he was deep in thought.

Chang Sheng didn't know yet whether his performance had deceived his opponent, but he had deceived his own people first.
The next day, when he came to the team and prepared to start the day's training, he found that all the members of the coaching staff were looking at him with strange eyes - except Rudy Gonzalez.
Or Manuel Garcia stood up and asked him: "Chang, is what you said at the press conference yesterday true?"
He looked at him worriedly, as if he was afraid that Chang Sheng would tell the answer "It's true."
Because if this is the case, it means that Chang Sheng himself has been shaken in his heart, so what is the meaning of this game?
Then aren’t all our efforts in vain?
Chang Sheng glanced at him, then at the other coaches, and finally his eyes fell on Rudy Gonzalez.
Including Manuel Garcia, almost all coaches looked at him with worried eyes.
There seems to be some kind of smile in Rudy Gonzalez's eyes.
This makes Chang Sheng feel that there is finally someone who can keep up with his thinking...
He smiled and said to the worried Manuel Garcia: "Of course it's fake."
It is obvious that coach Manuel Garcia is relieved.
"I knew it...ha!" he said.
Rudy Gonzalez also laughed: "Ha! Look, I told you earlier! He must be lying just to deceive our opponents! Only Celta thought we had really given up.
, only by not taking us to heart can we have a chance to defeat them."
Chang Sheng nodded to him: "That's right. I didn't expect to deceive all of our own people. It seems that our opponents should also be successfully deceived..."
Unexpectedly, Rudy Gonzalez interrupted him: "This is not necessarily true."
Chang Sheng casts his gaze towards him.
"Celta Vigo's head coach Victor Fernandez is a cautious person. He is very cautious. Celta's ranking eighth this season is inseparable from his caution. He has made thorough preparations for any game.
Basically, I tried my best to take all the situations into consideration and prepare countermeasures. So if you want to deceive him, just relying on these few words will not work."
Rudy Gonzalez is indeed someone who knows a lot about Spanish football. He talks eloquently about the team’s opponents, knows a lot about them, and has accurate information.
"If you want to deceive him, you need to be more ruthless, Chang." Rudy Gonzalez said to Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng felt that this was like a challenge from Rudy.
Do you dare to be more cruel to yourself?
How far can you go to win?
Are you testing me?
Chang Sheng smiled widely and gave Rudy Gonzalez a silent answer with this confident smile.
Rudy Gonzalez was also stunned for a moment after seeing Chang Sheng's answer.
It seems that Chang Sheng is confident and has been prepared for a long time...
After laughing, Chang Sheng said to all the coaches: "What I just said to you is not allowed to be leaked. Not only reporters, but also our players are not allowed to tell them."
Coach Manuel Garcia is not a fool. After hearing what Chang Sheng said, he understood what Chang Sheng wanted to do.
He was surprised: "You want to cheat the players too?"
"After all, we have few people and too many players. We all talk a lot. I'm afraid someone will accidentally report this to the media and leak the news. For safety reasons, I can't tell the players the truth. Secondly, let's let the players know the truth.
The close man Victor Fernandez is convinced that we have really surrendered, so we have to make our own people think that I really intend to give up this game." Chang Sheng explained.
"But aren't you afraid that doing this will shake the team's morale? You have to know that we all felt very disappointed when we heard you say that. Those young players are just afraid that their emotions will be more unstable now..."
"Manuel, why don't you think this will inspire them to have stronger fighting spirit and try to prove me wrong in the game?" Chang Sheng asked with a smile.
"Are you so sure, Chang?"
"At this time, I have no choice but to believe them." Chang Sheng finished speaking and clapped his hands, "Okay, guys, let's start preparing for work now! Remember, no one is allowed to talk about this conversation in the office.
Leak out half a sentence! This is about victory, I hope everyone can keep it secret! I believe in my players, and I believe in you! Don’t let me down!"
