Harvey Passos guessed correctly. Chang Sheng did not come to the stadium. He watched the game on TV in his dormitory room.
The TV broadcast kept focusing the camera on the box and giving close-ups, but unfortunately, the winning figure could not be found.
Crespo kept saying: "Let's see where Chang is... Not here, well, not there... So where is he?"
Later, the television broadcast cameras began to search the ordinary stands.
However, I still haven't been able to find a winning figure.
In the end, Crespo could only say: "It seems that Chang is playing hide-and-seek with us. We don't want to see him in this game... maybe he's dressed up in disguise and is hiding among ordinary fans?"
Chang Sheng doesn't care about this at all.
He's been watching Rudy Gonzalez.
As the person who replaced him as the head coach of this game, Rudy also received special care from the television broadcasts, which frequently gave him close-up shots.
However, from these close-up pictures, Chang Sheng saw a problem.
Because Rudy seemed very nervous.
He couldn't sit on the chair for long, as if there were nails in the chair.
Then he got up and walked around the sidelines.
He seemed very anxious.
But the actual situation is that Getafe's defensive counterattack was steady and did not concede the ball. So outsiders really don't understand why Rudy Gonzalez is so nervous.
The commentator Alessandro Crespo said: "Rudy's performance makes people think that Getafe is already three goals behind...but in fact the score is still 0:0..."
Chang Sheng, who was watching the scene of Rudy Gonzalez in front of the TV, finally sighed.
Some things really can't be solved by just saying a few nice words or making a joke.
He even felt that Rudy Gonzalez, who had been working hard for a week without sleep or food, would probably end in failure.
Of course, he still has one more game to pick up. But if this is really a psychological problem, I'm afraid it can't be solved in one or two games.
One more game, I'm afraid it won't help.

Getafe finally defeated Albacete at home with a score of 2:1.
From this score we can see how thrilling Getafe won this game.
Getafe scored first, and then Albacete equalized. In the 77th minute, Getafe completed the winning goal. Using a counterattack, Luis Garcia scored the winning goal.
Although he won the game, to be honest, Rudy Gonzalez's role was almost zero. Everything he had prepared before was useless in this game.
Winning is all due to the players themselves.
In other words, it is all the inertia of the winning tactics.
Of course. The game skills Chang Sheng chose before the game also played a role.
It's just that no one knew about this except Chang Sheng himself who knew about the accident.
It’s okay to win often. Just count Getafe’s counterattacks in this game in front of the TV and compare them with the counterattacks in previous games.
He found that the success rate of counterattack had increased slightly. After all, it was only 5%. It was not very obvious now, but as the level increased, Chang Sheng believed that this chance would further increase.
[Sharp counterattack] worked.
Not to mention [Iron Man]. Chang Sheng is very familiar with its function.
In fact, the media has noticed this problem. After ten rounds of the league, some media collected various technical data of 22 teams in the Spanish Second Division.
In terms of success rate in physical confrontation, Getafe leads the way.
Originally, the winning team requires players to be brave and tough when defending in training. Coupled with the skill of [Iron Man], Getafe's physical confrontation ability is naturally even better, which is enough to make them stand out from the crowd.
The media analyzed that the reason why Getafe performed so well and achieved such good results this season has a lot to do with their physical confrontation ability.
In some opportunities that were not originally theirs, Getafe was able to use their good physical confrontation ability to snatch the football away, eventually forming a shooting opportunity.
Once or twice is inconspicuous, but when accumulated ten or twenty times, the effect is astonishing.

At the post-match press conference, all the reporters were asking Chang Sheng where the match was, and no one paid any attention to Rudy Gonzalez.
For Rudy Gonzalez, this may actually be a good thing because he doesn't have to feel extremely embarrassed when facing reporters.
This game was won, but it had nothing to do with him.
Maybe the outside world doesn't know, but Rudy Gonzalez himself knows it very well, and those players may also know it.
Whether it was before the game or during halftime, he basically did not make effective adjustments.
The final victory was achieved thanks to the winning tactics that have long been integrated into everyone's consciousness through training.
This result was a heavy blow to Rudy Gonzalez, who was determined to prove himself again.
If a reporter came to him at this time and asked him what he thought, he really couldn't guarantee whether he would punch the other person...
Manuel Garcia answered the doubts in the minds of all reporters at the press conference: "He did not appear at the stadium, because he did not come at all. As for where he is, I'm sorry, I don't know..."
Harvey Passos didn't expect that he would guess right...
Just won’t come!
Isn't he worried that if he doesn't come, the team will lose the game?
Does he have confidence in his own team, or in his assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez?
If it's the latter...then he's got the wrong person.
He saw Rudy Gonzalez's performance in this game, it was terrible!
But that's okay, since Chang believes in that terrible assistant coach so much, then they are not far away from failure...
※※※
In the week after this game, Rudy Gonzalez became more and more silent, and he didn't even joke with Chang Sheng. However, the requirements in training were the same as last week, strict and perverted.
Chang Sheng saw all this but did nothing. He did not go to talk to Rudy.
He planned to wait until the second game was over before looking for Rudy Gonzalez.
A week later, Getafe went away to face Sporting Gijon.
Chang Sheng did not go to the game, and he did not even travel with the team.
He watched it live on TV at home.
Rudy Gonzalez continues to direct the team's games.
But this time, Rudy Gonzalez's luck was not so good.
He led the team and lost to Sporting Gijon 1:3 away from home.
Getafe finally suffered its first defeat of the season.
At the post-match press conference, reporters finally pointed their finger at Rudy Gonzalez, who was acting as head coach for Chang Sheng.
Getafe suffered its first defeat of the new season. And the defeat was quite miserable, with a score of 1:3 and a gap of only two goals.
Such a failure is of course a "disastrous defeat" for Getafe, which has always emphasized defense and defensive counterattacks.
Manuel Garcia tried his best to restore Rudy's reputation at the press conference: "The failure is not the responsibility of any one person. I don't think anyone needs to be responsible for this failure. We lost the first game of the new season.
The game is over, but it is not the end of the world. Of course we need to go back and sum up the lessons learned. But it has nothing to do with any one person."
In a football program on a TV station that night, the host sarcastically said that Rudy Gonzalez was a good foil for how talented the rookie Chang Sheng was...
There is no shortage of such criticism in other media.
These media usually criticize Chang Sheng. Now, they are exalting Chang Sheng in order to criticize Rudy Gonzalez. They are really a group of people with schizophrenia...
※※※
But all this has nothing to do with Rudy Gonzalez.
On the second day of the game, the Getafe team returned to Getafe and then disbanded on the spot.
Rudy Gonzalez drove his second-hand Fiat Palio back to his home from Alfonso Pérez Stadium.
When he opened the door with his travel bag, he did not see his girlfriend Heatherlin who was busy in the kitchen, nor did he hear her friendly greeting. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Heatherlin seemed to be already in the middle of the room.
I broke up with him a week ago.
During that time, all his thoughts were on how to lead the team to win two games, and he had no time to care about it. So he didn't have any special feelings about his girlfriend's departure. Anyway, when he came back every day, he would dive into the study and study various materials.
, watching videos, taking notes... there is nothing in my mind except football.
But now, after two games, when he returned home exhausted physically and mentally, looking at the empty and deserted room, he felt for the first time that someone was missing in his life, which was so unaccustomed to him.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call Heather, but then he realized that his cell phone had been turned off at some point.
He tried to turn on the phone, but it couldn't.
It seems that the battery is dead.
He threw the phone on the sofa, and then threw himself on the sofa.
Just stare at the ceiling.
Then he felt the inherent weariness coming over him.
This time he finally doesn't have to think about what to do in the next game, because Chang Sheng's suspension period has ended, he will become the team's head coach again, and he will return to the position of assistant coach.
After these two games, he fully realized that he could not become a truly independent head coach.
Being a head coach brought him tremendous psychological pressure, which almost short-circuited his brain.
This is only two games. If he is allowed to lead the team for a season, maybe he will commit suicide directly due to depression...
Now he suddenly admired the Chinese boy whom he had always been unconvinced by.
The pressure he endured was probably greater than that of himself, but he could live like a normal person, chatting and laughing without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure at all.
He no longer wants to think about how Chang Sheng did it.
He wanted to put aside the ideal that was so heavy that he could hardly breathe, and then live a normal life.
It has only been two weeks, and the family has been tormented by him like this...
Now, everything is back in place and his life is back to normal.
But maybe, this "normal" is no longer the "normal" before. (To be continued...)
