Chapter 242: Returning Home (Second Update)
Even if the whole of Madrid is hostile to Changsheng, there is one place where there must be exceptions.
That's Getafe, a satellite city of Madrid.
Although they are also part of the Greater Region of Madrid, they are not the same as Madrid.
What Chang Sheng created here ten years ago is enough for him to enjoy many privileges every time he returns here, such as no money for a taxi, free food, and people will definitely recognize him when he walks on the street, and then ask him for autographs and photos.
These privileges were earned by Chang Sheng in exchange for his achievements in leading the team that year.
And with the results of Changsheng getting better and better, it makes Getafe even more proud.
Because of its constant wins, Getafe, a previously unknown place, has become more and more famous in international football.
When people talk about a winning coaching career, Real Madrid can not mention the echelon, and Getafe is an important stop that must not be bypassed.
It is in this small team that Changsheng has completed the transformation from echelon coach to first-team head coach.
It is also here that Chang Sheng has changed from an unknown rookie newcomer to a famous handsome in the future.
Getafe has also benefited from this.
The proud strength of the Getafe club, the Spanish Copa del Rey trophy still occupies the most important place and is placed in the most eye-catching place.
It was one of the heaviest titles in the history of Getafe FC.
The people here are still fanatical about Changsheng.
There have been many waves of Chinese media who have come here to interview, and whoever hears that he is asking about Chang Sheng, will be very excited to tell the media of Chang Sheng's home country how this young man made Getafe famous in Spain.
Even if you say that you are a Chinese, the Spanish who used to treat you as a passerby on the streets of Getafe will immediately smile at you and become friendly all of a sudden.
There were Chinese tourists who came to Getafe. When asked about his nationality when he entered a bar, after saying that he was Chinese, the room full of people became enthusiastic and crowded up. Thumbs up to the Chinese tourist. The owner of the bar also announced on the spot that all purchases of the Chinese tourists were free of charge. People throughout the bar raised their glasses and shouted "China China" to toast them.
And these tourists are not football fans at all. I don't know who is always victorious.
So they were surprised and a little flattered to be treated like this all of a sudden.
They returned home and wrote about the experience, praising the Spaniards for being so enthusiastic about the Chinese. What a surprise. Then this travelogue was posted on the Internet, and immediately some fans and netizens told them that it was not the enthusiasm of the Spaniards, but that they were stained with the light of constant victory.
Then the author of this travelogue went to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing and understand the person Chang Sheng.
And then...... She is now a football fan, a winning fan.
That's the power of constant victory.
Not to mention that Getafe is a satellite club of Lazio, even if Getafe is not. With Chang Sheng's influence in this small city, if you want to use the Getafe club's training ground, it will not be a problem at all.
If the club dares to refuse, the angry Getafe fans will dare to tear down the club.
That's it. Not an exaggeration at all.
※※※
When Chang Sheng led Lazio to Getafe, from the beginning of the road into Getafe, there were constantly Getafe fans waving the Lazio flag, the Italian flag, and the Chinese flag, waiting on both sides of the road to welcome them.
All the way to the outside of Getafe's training base, where more fans gathered.
Seeing them arrive, these fans let out an earth-shattering cheer.
They shouted, "Keep going!" Come on, Lazio! Champion! You will be Champions League winners!! ”
The Lazio players who saw this scene were stunned.
They haven't been here before, as Lazio and Getafe played a warm-up game before the start of the season.
Even at that time, there was no such grand welcoming ceremony.
So everyone was surprised.
Someone fell asleep in the car and didn't wake up until he was almost at his destination, and when he saw the pomp and circumstance outside, he opened his mouth wide: "What's going on?" I just slept and we already won the championship? ”
But no one laughed at him.
Because many people in the car looked out in amazement, thinking exactly the same as this teammate.
Have we returned triumphantly?
This formation...... It's like welcoming the Champions League winners!
Someone sneaked a peek at their boss, and all of this was clearly because their boss always wins.
It was their eldest who planted the seed in the small place of Getafe, and now the seed has sprouted and grown into a towering tree.
They can have this opportunity to enjoy the shade.
Judging from today's scene, everyone is also surprised that the boss can have such a large level of support here.

Rudy Gonzalez sat next to Chang Sheng, and both men turned their heads to look out the window.
"Seeing this scene, has your vanity been greatly satisfied?" Rudy Gonzalez touched Chang Sheng's arm.
Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course!" Totally satisfied! ”
"It's a nostalgic time......" Rudy Gonzalez couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, and he didn't joke.
"It's the most precious time." Chang Sheng corrected.
Chang Sheng didn't joke either, and said in a very serious tone.
There are only three people in this team who have such precious memories.
Chang Sheng, Rudy Gonzalez and Jose Passarella.
Passarella also turned his head to look at the Getafe fans outside.
He walked out of here, although he left very resolutely, how could he not have any feelings for this place at all?
He can have no affection for the club, but he has a lot of affection for the fans here.
Among the welcoming crowd there was also someone welcoming him, José Passarella.
He waved through the glass window to the men.
※※※
Because there were so many people and so much enthusiasm, it took a while for the bus to reach its destination.
This time, Chang Sheng did not get off early. Let everyone make way for the team.
Instead, he sat quietly in his place and turned his head to look at the fans outside.
He was born in his hometown, a heavy industrial city in northern China.
But Getafe is his second home.
Now he is a handsome man, and he is shrouded in all kinds of aura. He has a celebrity wife. He has won many first prizes. He doesn't know how much money he earns a year......
But he will always remember his two years in Getafe.
When he went against Getafe because of the so-called genius of a youth team, he never imagined that he would leave Getafe eight years later. There will be so many people who will welcome him.
This is the home of the soul, and to come back here is to make him feel at peace.
It was the right choice to choose this place as the final preparation venue for the Champions League final.
Getafe was his first love.
Many people's first love often ends up not perfect.
The two did not make it to the end. Since then, he has become a stranger, or he just hopes that the other party is not doing well, then he will be happy.
But Chang Sheng and his first love ended beautifully.
Although they have not been able to go on forever, after so many years, when everyone meets again, they still sincerely wish each other and can hug each other without any pimples in their hearts.
It's really rare.

When the bus is stable. Chang Sheng was the first to get out of the car, and his appearance caused cheers from the Getafe fans at the scene.
Chang Sheng waved to everyone and did not speak. But everyone could see that he was excited.
He waved his hands and clasped his hands, and then walked towards the Getafe Club dormitory.
Rudy Gonzalez followed him and was also welcomed by a lot of people. But people welcome him in a different way than they welcome Chang Sheng.
As for Chang Sheng, they worshipped him as a god.
To Rudy Gonzalez, they slapped him on the head, shoulders and back.
Then the Lazio players came down one after another, followed their boss through the crowd and walked towards the dormitory.
Jose Passarella was inside and was also welcomed by the Getafe fans.
No one has forgotten him, the former captain of Getafe, a truly world-class star that Getafe has cultivated himself.
Like Chang Sheng, José Passarella is their eternal pride.
Of course, for those who are not from Getafe, Getafe fans will not favor one over the other.
They are well aware that the winner is the manager of Lazio and he must want them to support Lazio.
So for the other Lazio players, the Getafe fans also gave applause and cheers for the first time.
After the players moved into the dormitory, the enthusiastic Getafe fans were evacuated within half an hour.
They all knew that Lazio had gone on a long journey and needed a break.
They can't bother these people.
So they withdrew, leaving the silence for the Lazio players.
Although the people are gone, the good wishes and support remain, which makes the Lazio players very excited.
They also felt the warmth and love of these Getafe fans, who they had never met.
These positive emotions eventually turn into strength.
It's not that they get more excited, it's hard to control the excitement.
It's about the power to make them feel at peace from the inside out, from the inside. Such power helps to calm their restless and complacent minds, allowing them to gain the strength to move forward in peace.
※※※
In this way, the entire Lazio were warmly welcomed by the Getafe fans and checked into the training base in Getafe, where they will stay until the final and from there drive directly to the Bernabeu Stadium in the north of the city.
Naturally, the accommodation conditions here cannot be compared with those of five-star hotels.
There is no comparison to Real Madrid's five-star training base - Bayern Munich is staying in Real Madrid's Valdebaibas Sports City.
But for Chang Sheng, coming here is like coming home.
What could be more comfortable than at home?
Lazio, who are preparing at home, will not be worse than Bayern Munich.
It could even be better.
ps: Four more send, ask for a monthly pass!
