Although the team has been relegated in advance, there is still a round of league games to play, so everyone can't just let go of the sheep just yet, they have to come back to train.
It's just that everyone's mood is much more relaxed during this training.
There were also many Getafe fans outside the training ground.
They all came to thank the team for its efforts to avoid relegation, and many fans held up banners saying thank you for Chang Sheng.
As a firefighting coach, Chang Sheng perfectly accomplished this seemingly impossible goal.
In the eyes of Getafe fans, the winner and the savior are almost the same.
Looking at the fans outside, Chang Sheng made one last order before the training ended: "The training ends early, everyone go and sign their autographs!"
He pointed at the fans.
"Who gave us the most selfless support on our way to avoid relegation? It was them!" Chang Sheng pointed at the fans and said to the stunned players.
Perhaps the players never expected that Chang Sheng would make such a decision. Although they would more or less sign autographs for the fans after training, it depends on their mood. Which coach would make it in the form of an order?
Such a requirement?
But everyone didn’t delve too deeply into this issue. Since it’s the head coach’s request, let’s do it.
So Chang Sheng asked the club staff to inform the fans to line up for autographs and photos to avoid disorder. He wanted to do good things, but if the organization is not good and good things turn into bad things, it will not be beautiful.
Fans were very happy when they heard that the team would take the initiative to arrange for players to sign autographs and take photos with them.
Getafe fans even think that they are the happiest people in the world. The team just avoided relegation a few days ago, and now watching a team training, they can even get autographs from the players.
※※※
The training ended early. The players went to the locker room to change clothes and came out and started signing autographs for the fans.
For a time, the training ground was bustling with activity, with constant laughter and laughter. Of course, the sound of cameras pressing the shutter was also heard frequently.
Chang Sheng and his colleagues on the coaching staff stood nearby, smiling and looking at everything in front of them.
It's like a grand party, with fans and players in close contact, sharing the pleasure and joy brought to them by relegation.
"It feels like we haven't seen a scene like this for a long time?" Manuel Garcia said with emotion as he looked at the lively scene in front of him.
"That's right, we didn't have such a scene last season when we were upgraded from Group B..."
"Chang, I have to say your idea is great. Everyone feels very relaxed."
Chang Sheng chuckled but didn't answer.
Since having a party with his neighbors in the apartment the day before yesterday, he has thought clearly that the fans are more important than anything else. He leads the team to pursue victory and avoid relegation, not to get a new contract, but actually to satisfy the fans.
requirements.
So as long as it makes the fans happy, I can do anything.
As professional football becomes more and more developed, the distance between players and fans becomes wider and wider. Getafe is still a small team after all, so this situation is inevitable.
Many players on this team do not live in the small city of Getafe, they live in the bustling Madrid.
For them, playing in Getafe is just work.
They have no interest in getting to know the city of Getafe and its fans.
No matter how much those fans adore them.
Therefore, it is rare for everyone to see the scene where fans and players get along happily together like now.
A group of people were chatting when they saw a large group of fans suddenly walking towards them.
The person taking the lead seemed familiar to Chang Sheng, and then he remembered - it was the first fan who asked him for an autograph, his name was "Kike"...
Enrique Gonzalez walked up to Chang Sheng and put down a pen and paper: "Can we ask for your autograph, Chang?"
"Shouldn't you go to the players to ask for it?" Chang Sheng was a little surprised.
He really didn't expect that so many people came to him to ask for his autograph.
"You are a star too, Chang!" someone among the fans shouted loudly.
Immediately there was a chorus of agreement: "That's right! You are the biggest star of this team!"
"You are the number one contributor to our ability to avoid relegation!"
As they talked, they gathered around Chang Sheng and held out their various things for Chang Sheng to sign. Chang Sheng even saw someone cut out his own photo from the newspaper and handed it over for his signature.
Next to him, Manuel Garcia slapped Chang Sheng: "Enjoy it."
After saying that, a group of people laughed and walked away, while Chang Sheng was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic fans...

The final round of the league gave people the feeling that this was no longer a game, but a carnival for Getafe fans to vent their inner emotions.
From the first minute of the game, Getafe fans began to sing in the stands.
They started from the Getafe team song and sang the cheering songs for every player.
In the end, I even had a winning streak.
But it was so noisy at the time that Chang Sheng couldn't hear clearly what the group of people were singing happily.
He could only hear clearly the shouts of "Change! Chang! Chang!".
He only heard this after being reminded by Manuel Garcia after the fans repeated it many times.
"It's so enviable, Chang! I have worked for this team for more than ten or twenty years, and not a single fan has written a song for me!" Manuel teased Chang Sheng with a wink.
Chang Sheng scratched his head and could only giggle.
He really didn't know how to answer Manuel.
In fact, even in 2012, when he traveled back in time, up to that time, there were very few people in world football who wrote songs specifically for head coaches, and not many head coaches could enjoy this kind of treatment.
The more famous one is Mourinho. When he was at Real Madrid, the "Jose Mourinho Song" would often sound at the Bernabeu Stadium.
I didn't expect that I would have my own song so soon...
Fan songs often represent a person's position in the hearts of fans. People who can be praised by fans are often not generally popular.
The actions of the fans show that Chang Sheng has been heartily accepted by Getafe fans.
After hearing the singing, Chang Sheng stood on the sidelines and waved to the fans.
He could clearly hear that the singing was a little louder than before.
He smiled, and the feeling of being valued, liked, and respected by others... was so damn good!
He doesn’t want to be a loser anymore, he doesn’t want to be forgotten in the quagmire of failure, and he doesn’t want to live in obscurity all his life!

In the last round of the league, Getafe tied with Albacete 1:1 at their home court.
The result of this game is no longer important.
To the disappointment of the media, even in the last game of the season, none of the other Getafe coaches attended the post-match press conference at the Alfonso Perez Stadium.
But they were relieved because they decided they no longer had to follow a winning team.
This season is for the gimmick of relegation.
What about next season?
Getafe will be just an ordinary team next season. How many fans and readers would be interested in an ordinary second division team?
At that time, we in the media will only need to cover this team as a routine, without gathering at Alfonso Perez Stadium like now.
In other words, they no longer need to serve Getafe so much, and naturally they don't need to look at Chang Sheng's face.
So if Chang Sheng blocks us, then go ahead and block us!
Let’s see who comes to ask for who!
※※※
After all the games in this round of the league have ended, the 1999-2000 Spanish Football League B has officially come to an end.
There are many things worthy of mentioning for the Spanish Second Division this season, and the sudden rise of the Chinese coach Chang Sheng may be one of the most eye-catching ones.
Especially in the last two months.
However, with the end of the season, the attention from the media that Chang Sheng felt gradually dissipated.
The downgrade is the downgrade, the relegation is the relegation, the upgrade is the upgrade, the upgrade fails the upgrade fails.
None of this has much to do with him, except for one thing -
Atletico Madrid's poor performance in La Liga this season has been disappointing. They only accumulated 38 points in 38 league rounds! They were relegated after finishing second from last!
You know, just four seasons ago, they were the double champions of La Liga!
It was unexpected for many people that such a wealthy team could decline so quickly.
Only Chang Sheng knew it early.
So he wasn't too excited when he heard the news. This was destined to happen. Although his arrival may change some things, there are always some things that cannot be changed. This is the inertia of history.
Atletico Madrid That is the inertia of history!
Chang Sheng is now looking forward to the new season even more.
He only hoped that he could still remember what he said to the arrogant Atletico Madrid official when he left Atletico Madrid.
Because next season will be the time for them to fucking regret it!
※※※
This unforgettable season was over. The day after the team was disbanded, Chang Sheng also planned to leave Spain.
He plans to return to his country. This Chang Sheng has not been back for three years. But what about him? He has not seen his parents for more than a year since he traveled through time.
He is homesick.
Of course, before leaving, he first planned to go to downtown Madrid and go shopping in the most prosperous shopping malls, buying a lot of things for his parents.
After being a man for two lifetimes, he has a deeper affection for his parents, and he can better understand the feelings of his parents who hoped that their son would succeed, but hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
If they were more upbeat, they might not be able to hold their heads high in front of their neighbors.
This time he could barely be considered a homecoming, and he wanted to save face for his parents no matter what.
He didn't know if his brother would make his parents think he was promising, but he had neither gained fame nor made any money outside for so many years - being an echelon coach didn't make much more money than ordinary people, and he lived abroad.
The cost is not small...
Chang Sheng could think on his knees how the neighbors would view his parents.
These days, nothing is as important as money.
If you have money, you have a future; if you don't have money, you have no future.
Therefore, the best way for him to make his parents feel that his son is promising is to buy a lot of things and let them know that his son is not short of money!
In fact, you can't make much money as a coach of a second division team, or a poor team like Getafe. Even with bonuses, your income is very limited.
At this time, the salary of the main players of Getafe's first team was only 378,000 pesetas. This number seemed scary. It was almost 400,000 pesetas a month.
But it should be taken into account that the Spanish pesetas is a currency with a very low value. The approximate exchange rate for the British pound is one pound equals one hundred and eighty pesetas.
Converted into pounds sterling, that's two thousand one hundred pounds.
Even so, Getafe's finances are feeling tight. If this is replaced by a weekly salary of 50,000 to 60,000 pounds in the future, Getafe's current economic situation will only lead to bankruptcy.
The salary of a coach will definitely not be higher than that of a first-team player.
So Chang Sheng’s weekly salary is less than 370,000 pesetas.
It's only a little more than half, 180,000 pesetas.
However, this is already a terrifyingly high salary for ordinary Chinese people.
Because according to the exchange rate at that time, one yuan of RMB could be exchanged for sixteen pesetas, and one hundred and eighty thousand pesetas was equivalent to more than eleven thousand yuan.
And that’s just the weekly salary.
Four weeks a month, multiplied by four, that is 45,000 yuan.
The monthly income is 45,000, which is considered a high income anyway.
In China in 2000, most people's salary was only one to two thousand yuan a month. If a newly graduated college student found an ordinary job, he might not even have a thousand yuan.
Chang Sheng has become a member of the high-income group.
His income is more than enough to live a moderately prosperous society in China, and he can even be considered a middle class person.
Chang Sheng, on the other hand, is usually alone and does not have much social activities. He does not go out to see the colorful world of Spain. He spends all his time on supplementary coaching courses, hoping that he can become a real professional coach.
Therefore, his expenses are very small. In addition, enthusiastic neighbors like Aunt Maria often invite him to dinner, so he can save a lot of money on meals.
Therefore, Chang Sheng’s current personal assets are quite abundant.
Just like that, Chang Sheng planned to return home in glory.
But before going shopping in Madrid, Chang Sheng still had something he wanted to do.
He spent a season in Getafe living like a puritan. This was not because of his personality. In fact, he also yearned for the nightlife in Spain, but who told him to have huge pressure on him?
Now that he has successfully avoided relegation, he has finally taken his first step as a head coach. After the pressure has dissipated, he is eager to relax.
Spain is famous for its nightlife, with bars popping up everywhere and the feasting days attracting every restless heart.
After letting go of all pressure, Chang Sheng's heart began to restless after being silent for a season...
So he planned to experience Spanish bar culture.
