Chapter 80 The Days when the Training Ground Became Lively Again
While formulating the pre-season training plan, Getafe's transfer work is also in full swing.
Changsheng sent out the team's only two scouts, one to Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, and the other to Turin, Italy.
They have a heavy responsibility to bring back Yaya Toure and Balzaretti for his team.
In addition, the contract negotiations between Mista and Getafe have also ended, and Mista finally agreed to join Getafe.
Valladolid also agreed to loan Luis Garcia to Getafe for a period of one year, without any rental fee, and did not let Getafe bear Luis Garcia's salary.
This is a very favorable condition.
Chang Sheng agreed without saying a word, and it depends on whether Luis Garcia is willing in the end.
He felt that this problem was not too big. At this time, Tenerife had not yet intervened in the competition against Luis Garcia, and Getafe was a good choice. Although last season's thrilling relegation, but their outstanding performance at the last moment is seen by everyone.
As Chang Sheng expected, Luis Garcia agreed to play for Getafe on loan.
Just two days after this matter was finalized, Benitez officially entered Tenerife and became the head coach of Tenerife.
Chang Sheng let out a sigh of relief...
At this time, both Mista and Luis Garcia came to the team to report, and he no longer worried that Benitez would rob him.
He didn't know whether his actions would affect the fate of a future master tactician.
Historically, it was precisely because of his outstanding performance in Tenerife that Benitez entered the room and entered Valencia, and then he led this veteran team to La Liga in the first season of coaching the team League champions.
From then on began his road to become a famous coach.
Before coaching Getafe. His performance in leading the team fluctuated, but generally speaking, most of them failed.
At Real Madrid. It is best to stop the first team coach Bosque.
Later, he became the coach of Valladolid on his own, but he was fired after only leading the team to play 23 games, because Valladolid's performance was at the bottom of the league at that time.
Then he went to Osasuna in the second division to coach, but this time he persisted for a shorter time. He only played nine games and won one victory.
In 1997, he became the head coach of Extremadura, another Spanish second team. This time, in a season of 42 games, he won 23 of them and led the team to The second place in the league was promoted to La Liga.
This can be regarded as the first glory in his coaching career.
But the good times didn't last long. After one season. Newly promoted Extremadura were relegated from La Liga, where they lost to Villarreal in the semi-finals.
Villarreal was promoted to the First Division for the first time, but they did not expect to step on the body of Benitez, the future tactician.
Because of relegation failure, Benitez resigned from Extremadura, and then he did not accept the job of coach of any team. Instead, study tours in Italy and England.
In Italy, he was "cheek-skinned" to observe the training courses of famous coaches. He went to Milan three times to watch Fabio Capello, to Juventus to learn Lippi, to Florence to learn Ranieri, and even visited Sa base.
After leaving Italy, he went to England. Visited Ferguson and McLaren, as well as Graham who was coaching Tottenham Hotspur at the time.
The study tour gave him enough accumulation, and he benefited a lot.
It has been 2000 since I came back.
Then he became the head coach of Tenerife.
That is now.
Although he was in Tenerife, people such as Mista and Luis Garcia have made outstanding contributions. But Benitez is not the kind of coach who relies on one or two stars to dominate the world. In both Tenerife and Valencia, he emphasized holistic football.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to disappear from the scene because of Chang Sheng's appearance. It is gold that always shines.
Benitez is indeed a capable head coach, so he will always become a famous coach in the future. At most, it's just late in time.
Some people's paths are doomed.

After both Mista and Luis Garcia reported to the team, the players on vacation returned to Getafe one after another. Their vacation is over.
Training for the new season is about to begin.
The battle also started.
For the head coach, the beginning of a season is counted from this moment.
When the Getafe players returned to the team after their holidays, they found that there were more people around them, and some people were missing.
None of those rogues are gone. If anyone pays attention to the media news, they will know that they have all been sold at a very low price.
Everyone knows that's what a manager does.
They offended the head coach, so they have to accept such a punishment.
These Getafe players are used to it and are not surprised. Their head coach is such a person.
It is good to say that he is narrow-minded, or that he runs the army with an iron fist.
At the very least, everyone can see that after this rectification, the discipline of the team is much stronger than before.
Everyone no longer dares to be late for training, and they are more active than before during training.
Because the training is more serious, although the training intensity has increased, the number of injuries has actually decreased. Because everyone is concentrating, many accidents can be avoided, and they will be avoided in time when they may be injured.
That's the beauty of discipline.
Chang Sheng once emphasized to them the benefits of paying attention to probability in the daily training last season.
This point, with the personal experience of the players, they all have a full understanding.
So they gradually got used to and accepted Changsheng's strict requirements on probability.

The days when the new players gathered brought the Las Margarita Sports City back to liveliness and vitality. In summer, it was quiet enough to scare people to death.
"I still like this feeling." Chang Sheng said looking at the players gathered on the training ground preparing for a physical fitness test.
The players gathered, chatted with each other, and discussed how their vacation was going this summer.
Others were discussing the European Cup that just ended not long ago.
Trezeguet's volley lore in the European Cup final is talked about.
But they talked more about their national team's performance in the European Cup. As a member of the West Second Division relegation team, they are not eligible to participate in the national team competition. But this does not mean that they cannot comment on the performance of the national team players.
Many people feel sorry for the penalty missed by Raul. But no one blamed him.
For Zidane, they admire.
Because there are many people. So there was a lot of discussion, and the training ground of the Las Margarita Stadium, which had been silent for forty days, became lively again.
Lively on the court, lively off the court.
July 15th is the day for players to report, and it is also the day for fans to wake up from "hibernation". A large number of fans gathered outside the training ground on this day, and they all came to express their support for the players.
In addition, by watching the team's training, real fans can also get a general idea of the team's situation, which will help them judge the team's prospects for the new season.
If the team's performance in pre-season training is not good, then all fools know that the future of this team in the new season is worrying.
Fans and players got together, making the training ground very lively inside and out.
Chang Sheng took a deep breath. He just likes such a lively atmosphere.
As long as he sees such a scene, he knows that the new season is coming. Then his blood began to rush. His blood pressure started to rise and his heart rate started to beat faster.
He felt excited.
Can't wait to get the new season started.
"Holidays are indeed a bit boring for a bachelor like you." Rudy Gonzalez lost no time in attacking Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng didn't bother to explain to him how wonderful his vacation was...
He just rolled his eyes.
He began to observe how the newly joined players integrated into the team.
Senna is taciturn and doesn't seem to fit in well. Chang Sheng didn't know what was the situation when Senna joined Villarreal in the early days, and whether it was the same as it is now.
But then Senna was able to be the captain of Villarreal. Selected for the Spanish national team, he felt that he should not worry about Senna's adaptability.
Chariste Yas also seemed to be smug, but this was because of his language barrier. Through these days of contact, Chang Sheng understood what kind of character Chariste Yas was. He is absolutely not bored, and the bored person may not be able to say something like "If our national team reaches the European Cup final, I will hang up my boots".
As long as the language is turned off. I'm sure Charisteas will have a good time here.
I heard that he is practicing Spanish hard recently, which shows that he is very expressive.
As for Mista and Luis Garcia, they are all Spaniards, so there is no problem of adaptation at all.
Mista was born in the autonomous region of Murcia, Spain, but he played in the Real Madrid junior team and youth team since he was a child, so he can be regarded as half a Madrid native. Life here in Getafe. He has no problem adapting.
Besides, there is an old acquaintance in this team and Getafe.
The team's midfielder Harvey Jimenez used to be teammates with him, and both of them played for Real Madrid's B team, which is the Castilla team.
Until the 199899 season, they left Real Madrid at the same time, Gimenez came to Getafe, and Mista went to Tenerife.
I didn't expect to meet again in Getafe now. The two old acquaintances naturally have a lot to say when they meet.
And because of this, Chang Sheng is not worried about the matter of Mista's honor team.
Luis Garcia has no language barrier. Although he was born in Badalona, Catalonia Autonomous Region, and his native language is Catalan, there is no problem with Spanish.
There is no obstacle at all to communicate with teammates, and it is only a matter of time to integrate into the team.
And the old players have nothing against these new players.
This made Chang Sheng very satisfied.
A united group is a group with combat effectiveness.
He paid great attention to this point.
After the observation, he said to the fitness coach Juan Zavala: "Everyone is here, and the physical fitness test can begin."
Zavala nodded and led the other coaches onto the training ground.
The physical fitness test has begun. (To be continued..)
