When Chang Sheng just lay down in the hotel room, there was a busy scene in the editorial office of "Marca" newspaper.
It's like this before every game day. The phone in the office rings non-stop and the fax machine squeaks.
Reporters at the front continue to send first-hand information and press releases they have obtained from various competition venues back to the rear base camp.
Local reporters in Madrid rushed directly to the newspaper to write articles.
When a new press release is released, the editors will start to review it. If it is correct, they will start typesetting.
The people who are responsible for running the printing factory are waiting in the newspaper office, waiting only for the typesetting to be completed and approved by the editor-in-chief, before flying to the printing factory.
The printing factory is working overtime and must print out the newspaper and hand it over to the newspaper office before 8:30 tomorrow.
Finally, the workers responsible for delivering newspapers took the newspapers from the newspaper office and began to distribute them.
Be sure to deliver newspapers to every newsstand before half past ten.
This is the daily workflow of the newspaper office.
Spanish journalists and editors are perhaps the busiest and most diligent people...
Xavi Passos had been following Getafe and was in Madrid, so he finally returned to the newspaper to write articles.
The focus of his report was naturally the scene where Chang Sheng got furious and walked out of the game at the press conference before the game.
This is a huge victory for journalists!
People like Chang Sheng have always had the upper hand in previous confrontations with the media, which makes the media very unhappy.
Now that I finally have the opportunity to defeat him, how can I not be excited?
After writing this manuscript with passion, Harvey Passos read it and was very satisfied with his press release.
He used his best satire in the article to irritate Chang Sheng to the fullest.
He believes that this will definitely make Chang Sheng even more depressed.
Harvey Passos, who was very satisfied with his manuscript, passed the manuscript through the office's internal network to the editor specifically responsible for the Spanish Second Division.
Then he stood up and stretched beautifully.
Looking at my colleagues who are still working at their desks, I feel a sense of superiority.
With my own abilities, maybe I won’t have to work in this noisy big office before long, and I will have my own office like ["Marca" registration reporter].
The windows are bright and clean, spacious and comfortable, and enjoy the respect and envy of other colleagues.
Harvey Passos lit a cigarette for himself and began to enjoy this vision.
By that time, I will be a real "Marca" registered member.
At this moment, a window popped up on the screen of his computer, but Harvey Passos, who was immersed in admiration, obviously did not notice the computer screen under his nose.
So a minute later, before he finished smoking his cigarette, the deputy editor came out of his office and immediately saw Harvey Passos, who was standing smoking and enjoying himself.
"Harvey!" he shouted.
Passos woke up from his dream and felt a little unhappy. However, after seeing who the person who disturbed him was, all his unhappiness disappeared.
A smile appeared on his face: "Rolls, have you read my manuscript, how is it?"
"The writing is good, and it makes people feel immersed in it after reading it." Deputy editor Rawls nodded, affirming Passos' work, and then changed the subject: "But, what about Getafe's list?"
Hearing Rawls' praise, the smile on Harvey Passos's face became even brighter. Being able to get such praise from the deputy editor showed that his manuscript was indeed very good. But after two seconds, his smile solidified.
Now.
Because he also remembered that it wasn’t that he forgot to write down the list, but... he really didn’t know Getafe’s list for this game!
He recalled the scene at Getafe's press conference.
After Chang Sheng was angered by the reporters, he stood up and left. The press conference was filled with the victorious laughter of the reporters.
But... Chang Sheng really didn’t announce Getafe’s roster before he left!
"What's the matter, Harvey?" Rawls asked strangely when he saw the change in expression on Harvey Passos' face.
"Uh...he didn't announce the team's roster..."
"He didn't?!" Rawls raised his voice, as if this was something incredible.
It is indeed a rare thing. Generally speaking, at the pre-match press conference, the head coaches of both sides will announce the roster for tomorrow's game.
But Chang Sheng did not, which cannot but make Rawls feel strange.
Harvey Passos nodded: "Yes, he got up and left directly, leaving midway... We didn't have time to ask him about the list, and he didn't take the initiative to say..."
"There's not even a list, what do you want us to tell the readers? Are you saying that we don't know what the list is?!" Rawls' eyes widened when he heard this.
Seeing that Rawls was about to get angry, Harvey Passos quickly took out his cell phone: "It doesn't matter, I'll ask my friends. Maybe they should have news..."
"Maybe we should?"
"Uh..." Harvey Passos ignored the deputy editor's sharp eyes and began to lower his head and start talking on the phone.
"Hey, Luis? Do you know Getafe's roster? Yes, it's for the Copa del Rey match tomorrow... No? Ah... ok, ok, thank you..."
Passos looked up and saw the deputy editor's eyes that could kill. He quickly lowered his head and started dialing.
"Raou, do you have a roster for Getafe's match tomorrow? What? You don't have one either?!"
"Gonzalez, do you have... don't ask me, I still want to ask you! Okay, okay, I will definitely call you if I have news..."
"Fernando...you don't have one either? Damn it..."
Harvey Passos's good mood just now disappeared. Now he was sweating profusely and kept dialing the phone, asking for verification one by one.
But when all the calls were made, he held the phone in his hand and stared blankly at the deputy editor who was obviously very impatient, speechless.
Rawls looked at him and said coldly: "I don't care what method you use, you must get me Getafe's roster for tomorrow's game!"
After saying this, he turned around and returned to his office.
The sound of the door slamming seemed to announce that the deputy editor was in a bad mood.
Passos lowered his head in frustration, and then began to hate Chang Sheng again.
People will die if you leave after you fucking publish the list!
How did he know that Chang Sheng deliberately used this opportunity to avoid announcing his list?
Now Passos sits in front of his computer, scratching his head.
After pulling his hair for a while, Passos had an idea.
I don’t know Getafe’s roster for this game, but I can infer this one from their roster for the last round of the Copa del Rey!
Getafe will definitely give up this game anyway, so their roster is nothing more than a group of substitutes...
I will draw up a new roster based on the roster from the last game.
Definitely **never leave ten!
"Marca" does not have it, so other media must not have it either...
They must all be looking for this list now.
Then you can claim that this list is exclusive! It fully reflects your uniqueness.
Thinking of this, Passos' mood instantly improved. He pulled out Getafe's roster for the last round of the cup, and then began to draw up a roster for Getafe according to his own imagination.
That night, the same thing happened in many media offices...
※※※
The next day, newspapers with the scent of ink appeared on newsstands everywhere.
Also appeared on Chang Sheng’s desk.
When Chang Sheng saw that the "Marca" newspaper specifically noted the exclusive Getafe lineup, he laughed happily.
The last piece of the puzzle was finally completed through the hands of those stupid reporters.
Now everyone will believe that Getafe really wants to give up this game, because this full substitute lineup is the best proof!
So perfect...
※※※
Victor Fernandez also learned about Getafe's roster through newspapers.
Seeing that they were all substitute players, the last stone in his heart fell to the ground.
There is no doubt that Getafe did give up this game. If everyone played as substitutes, Celta's substitutes would definitely be stronger than Getafe's substitutes, so the final victory still belonged to Celta.
※※※
Two hours before the start of the game is the deadline for both sides to announce their lineups. Before then, both sides will send their respective rosters to the Spanish Football Association, the organizer of the game.
Then the rosters of both sides will be announced on the Spanish Football Association's Copa del Rey website.
So in fact, Chang Sheng didn’t announce the roster at the pre-match press conference, so it’s not a big deal. In the last two hours before the game, everyone can go to the Spanish Football Federation’s website to find the rosters of both sides.
So it's no secret at all.
But the media are always accustomed to announcing the list before the Football Association to show their energy.
So everyone is used to it.
Two hours before the game, the two teams set off from their respective places of stay and rushed to the Alfonso Pérez Stadium.
When the Celta Vigo bus departed from the hotel, the names of both sides and substitutes for each Copa del Rey match on this match day were refreshed on the Spanish Football website.
Rawls opened the Spanish Football Federation's website in the editorial office.
Although Harvey Passos swore that it was exclusive that he obtained through very complicated channels and relationships.
But he always felt that it was not that simple.
So he planned to confirm it on the official website of the Spanish Football Association.
Open the website and find the match between Getafe and Celta Vigo.
Then click to open the list of both parties.
In front of the computer, there is a copy of the latest issue of Marca, which was released in the morning, for comparison.
Starting from the goalkeeper position, he started to compare one by one.
On the website: Goalkeeper Pablo.
In the newspaper: Goalkeeper Lampeng.
Something went wrong at the first position.
Rawls quickly scrolled down.
For the center back position, on the website they are Jose Passarella and Pedro Caniceres (captain).
And Xavi Passos gave him Fernando Moreno and Outero.
Finally, when he looked at all the locations, he was surprised to find that none of them were the same!
Generally speaking, it is impossible to go wrong with the list on the official website of the Spanish Football Federation.
Then there is only one answer - Harvey Passos lied!
"This bastard!" Rawls yelled angrily.
Reporters lying is nothing new to him.
But this matter is related to the reputation of "Marca" newspaper, so this matter is not as simple as the reporter lying. This will make readers think that "Marca" newspaper is lying!
This is something that damages the reputation of Marca.
He took out his phone and dialed Passos' number.
After the call was connected, he heard a lot of noise on the Pasos side and should have arrived at the scene.
"Hey Rawls, what's up?" Harvey Passos must be in a good mood.
"What's going on with the list?" Rawls's voice was cold.
"What?"
"What's going on with Getafe's roster? Why is your damn exclusive news different from what's on the Football Association's official website?!"
After hearing the deputy editor's words, Passos' mind buzzed.
"This is impossible?!" He shouted this almost reflexively.
“Go check the Football Association website yourself!”
Rawls dropped the phone.
Passos held the mobile phone and stood there blankly. His brain was still a little unresponsive.
He is outside now and cannot access the Internet. Naturally, he does not know the list published on the Football Association website.
But he knew that his deputy editor could not lie to him.
If he says it’s different, then it must be different.
But why is it different?
Could it be...
An idea suddenly popped up in Harvey Passos's mind, startling him.
