Coach Manuel Garcia couldn't help but sigh after McCarthy scored.
He knew Chang Sheng's overall plan.
But he always felt that Chang Sheng was a bit of an idiot.
The current goal conceded further proves his point of view.
Celta is too strong, even as a substitute, it is not an opponent that Getafe can compete with.
Chang Sheng actually wanted to compete with such a team. Although he admired Chang Sheng's courage, he also knew that in football matches, problems cannot be solved by courage.
Chang Sheng heard the sigh of coach Manuel Garcia. Obviously the opponent did not believe that he could beat Celta Vigo.
He was not angry, but rather happy.
If he doesn't even believe the people around him... doesn't it mean that Victor Fernandez won't even believe that his team will lose?
Celta’s players shouldn’t believe that they will lose, right?
No one believed this could happen.
But this is exactly your opportunity.
Reborn in a desperate situation, listening to thunder in a silent place.
When no one else believes that you will succeed, but you still believe that you can succeed, then success may come!
Chang Sheng was carefully observing the performance of his players. He wanted to see if his players with high [Willpower] and high [Bravery] would lose their fighting spirit after such a blow.
So when these players looked at him, he hardened his heart and did not respond positively to them.
He just wanted to see how far he could push them.
In a desperate situation, I did not give up.
But that's not enough, he also needs a team that doesn't give up either.
Even if he is a victorious general, it will be of no use if he has no soldiers at his disposal.
The game started again. He observed silently.

After conceding a goal, Getafe's players habitually cast their beams to the sidelines, trying to get some courage from their head coach.
But they were immediately disappointed.
But they quickly realized - isn't this normal?
The head coach was the one who announced his surrender before the game. This goal must have been expected by him...
The opponent's strength is indeed very strong. Even the substitute players are not something they can deal with casually...
But why, why are you unwilling to give in?
The flame that was unwilling to admit defeat was still an insignificant existence in the hearts of local reporters in Getafe, almost being swallowed up by darkness.
But in the hearts of these players, the fire is getting stronger and stronger. A single spark is about to start a prairie fire...
Why should we admit defeat in front of this substitute lineup? We are also professional players. And we are all the main players. We also have our own dignity!
We are ranked first in the Second Division! Even teams like Sevilla in the league lost to us!
Why can't we compete with the A-level teams?
Why do we have to admit defeat and surrender?
Our goal this season is to upgrade, and we will be a first-division team next season. If we can't even win as a substitute for a mid-table team in the first-division league here, then why should we work hard to upgrade to the first-division team?
What? Are we going to humiliate the main lineups of those teams? Let them ravage us again and again? Or do we have to surrender every time we encounter teams that are stronger than us?
These players have long been infected by Chang Sheng's unyielding character, and it has long been integrated into their blood for more than half a season.
So now their minds have unconsciously moved closer to Chang Sheng.
Although now even the head coach's winning streak has surrendered, they have more fighting spirit.
Because not only do they have to prove the head coach wrong. They also have to prove the whole world wrong!
We, Getafe, are no longer cowards who can be bullied and looked down upon by others!
When the game restarted, these Getafe players were not frightened by Celta Vigo's lead.
They still remember every instruction from their coach during training, remember what they learned in training, and remember what their coach usually instilled in them. Although their coach let them down today, the belief instilled in them by the coach remains.
It has not wavered. Because they relied on this belief to successfully avoid relegation. They relied on this belief to win first place in the league, and relied on this belief to defeat the powerful Sevilla at the time...
All this. Even if their head coach has surrendered and betrayed the beliefs he upheld, the players will not doubt the beliefs themselves.
Because they realize the benefits of faith.
Celta's offense is still very fierce, but Getafe's defense is more focused and harder.
Yes, harder.
Even the Celta Vigo players could feel that Getafe players were tougher when confronting their defense.
Sometimes, there is obviously no need to be so tough. But Getafe players will grit their teeth, rush forward with ferocious faces, and then use obviously exaggerated movements to grab the ball.
At first, the Celta Vigo players thought these second-division team players were really funny - it was just a game with no suspense, why do you need to work so hard? It was like fighting...
But how did they know that for the Getafe players, this is a war!
This is a war related to their honor!
And honor must be demonstrated by victory, so they must win no matter what the cost!
They collided with Celta Vigo's players time and time again to steal the ball from them. Even if they were called for a foul, they would never cast a friendly look at Celta Vigo's players, let alone reach out to take them.
The opposing player pulled up.
Friendship comes first and competition comes second. Here, victory comes first and everything else comes second!

Chang Sheng naturally noticed this change of Getafe players.
When he saw that Luis Garcia was able to catch up to the corner flag in one breath, and then fiercely tackle the opponent's players, he finally sat up from his seat - he had been leaning on the backrest before.
It's like there are no bones.
But now, he finally changed his posture.
He stared at the court with burning eyes, and his whole expression changed.
He said to the assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez next to him: "Rudy, do you know what I am most proud of right now?"
"Huh?" Rudy Gonzalez didn't respond.
Your team is lagging behind, but you are so proud!
Chang Sheng smiled: "Even if the whole world gave up, even me as the head coach gave up, they didn't give up. I used to be the source of their strength, but now, they still have endless courage without me.
What I have trained is not a group of puppets, but a group of real warriors. There is no confusion in their eyes. They know what they should fight for. What a great team this is..."
There was an emotion filling Chang Sheng's chest.
What was Getafe like before he took over? It was a team with no hope or future for everyone, a confused and lifeless team.
But what about now? Even if they "give up in advance", these people will still grit their teeth and persist. Even if the whole world doesn't like them, they will still grit their teeth and persist!
Do you still remember what you said to them when you took office?
"My name is Chang Sheng, the Chang Sheng of the victorious generals. Chang Sheng of the victorious generals. What I pursue is not interesting football, but football that can win. Victory makes my blood boil, and victory makes me find football interesting!"
These words were truly integrated into their blood and became the strongest belief in their hearts.
What a person says can become the driving force to influence others to make changes and ultimately achieve success.
What an achievement that is!
Chang Sheng, a rookie in the coaching world, actually did it.
This is the team he coached!
Can he not be proud?
As a coach, apart from winning championships, my greatest achievement is watching a team transform from mediocre to a team of tigers and wolves, a team of kings.
Although he has not yet won a championship, a team with no hope has turned into a team with faith in his hands.
This shows what?
This shows that his constant success is not without merit. Although he has never received formal professional coaching courses, he does not come from a famous family, and he does not have a network of brothers all over the world.
But he still has the potential to succeed!
In this game, what Chang Sheng originally wanted was to let his team practice in front of the first-division team and see how strong it is, so as to prepare for promotion to the first-division league next season.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...
Chang Sheng rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Let him see a bright future!
One game brought him so many surprises.
He now felt that he was right to prepare carefully for this game.
We will definitely win this game!

Rudy Gonzalez was also infected by Chang Sheng's words.
He first glanced at Chang Sheng, whose eyes were shining, and then turned his gaze to the court, looking at the players who, although they were lagging behind, still refused to retreat in the face of strong opponents and fought with them.
He hadn't seen such a Getafe player for some time... no, probably never.
He has been a coach at Getafe Club for more than ten years and has been in the first team for eight years. But he has never seen so many players in Getafe showing such a mental outlook.
It may not be difficult for one or two people, but it is very rare for everyone in a team to have such belief!
Rudy Gonzalez knows very well what this team was like before they started to win. They were just a bunch of lost dogs!
But this constant victory really changed everything, turning a group of homeless dogs into warriors with firm beliefs!
He suddenly thought, if he were the head coach, he would probably be very proud if he could achieve such results, right?
He looked at Chang Sheng, his eyes no longer filled with the usual mockery and contempt, but with admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Chang Sheng only stayed in Getafe for just over a year and was able to transform an entire team.
As for myself, after staying in Getafe for so long, more than ten years have flowed away like water, but no traces have been left.
You actually want to become a top coach?
What a joke!
But the Chinese in front of me may really be able to become a top coach...
When the time comes, I will be by his side, keeping this legendary experience in my eyes and in my heart!

ps, the pursuers are fierce, guys, the competition for Champions League qualification is so fierce and cruel! (To be continued...)
