Chapter 4: Rudy the Loser: Gonzalez
,
Rudy González Diaz has locked himself in his house since that league game, and he hasn't been anywhere for the whole day, just at home.
Even his girlfriend didn't care.
The whole person looks listless.
He didn't dare to turn on the TV, read the newspaper, or even open the door to go out.
He was afraid to see the news that mocked him and hear the words that mocked him.
Even when he went to bed last night, he fulfilled his dream of directing the game. It was a nightmare, though, and he lost the game again.
After the game, the reporters who rushed up turned into devils in his dreams, and they opened their bloody mouths as if they wanted to swallow him in one gulp.
Then he was woken up.
Today is a day of sluggishness, and his girlfriend is worried about him.
For him, yesterday's game was the first game he had led the team alone since he became a coach.
As a coach, he also aspires to be a manager, a manager who is in charge of his own affairs, and that's his dream.
He started as a coach of the junior team, and it took more than ten years to finally become an assistant coach of the first team, and he was one step away from becoming a head coach.
When he knew he was going to replace Juan Zamora as interim head coach and lead the team, he was very excited and thought his dream was finally coming true.
He had hoped that in this game, he would be able to play his own game and finally help Getafe get a long-awaited victory, giving hope to the Getafe fans. Then through this game, he sat firmly in the position of interim head coach. In the next ten rounds of the league, he led the team to win one victory after another, and finally led the team to complete this "impossible task" and successfully relegated!
From then on, a great coaching legend began!
What an exciting future this is......
Unfortunately, after yesterday's game, everything came to an abrupt end.
He messed up in his first game.
He had absolutely no idea what was going on, and before the game, he had everything in order, there were no problems with training and tactics.
But from the moment he stepped into the locker room, he couldn't contain his nervousness.
In just a few minutes, a layer of sweat broke out on his back.
He wasn't without access to the pre-match dressing room, and when he was Zamora's assistant, he often accompanied Zamora in and out of the dressing room.
But this time, when he realized that he was the protagonist in the dressing room, that he had to say something to the players, to encourage them, that every word he said might have an impact on the game, and when the players looked up at him, he only felt a "buzz" in his head, and it instantly became blank.
He didn't know how he spent those ten minutes, and he didn't remember what he told the players. Anyway, by the time he came to his senses, he found himself in the dugout on the side of the pitch.
Then when he heard the frantic shouts of the home fans, he felt his mouth dry again, his heart beat faster, and his brain lost the ability to think again.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
The long-awaited dream is about to come true, why is he so nervous and afraid?
His performance disappointed himself and disappointed others.
He was in great pain, and he feared that the dream he was pursuing would not be realized because of this......
It was then that he heard the sound of a television in the living room.
For a whole day, he didn't turn on the TV, just afraid to see the news about laughing at him.
Now that he heard the sound of the TV, his heart began to rise, as if he was on the sidelines.
He couldn't help but shout: "Turn off the TV, damn it!" Hatherine! Did you hear that? ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice: "...... We are now in the press conference hall at the Estadio Alfonso Pérez, and the press conference for the inauguration of the new manager of Getafe is about to begin......"
Then the sound stopped abruptly.
Apparently his girlfriend, Hatherine López Rodriguez, obediently turned off the TV.
But Rudy Gonzalez's curiosity was hooked by this endless sentence.
He jerked out of the bedroom and ran to the living room to find his girlfriend feeling guilty.
"Uh...... I didn't mean to, Rudy, I forgot......" She looked a little distracted and stood in front of the TV.
Rudy pushed away his girlfriend who was blocking the TV, turned the TV back on, and then looked directly at the TV screen that was gradually lighting up.
On the screen, it was the press conference hall of the Alfonso Pérez Stadium, which he was familiar with.
In the hall, he saw a large number of journalists.
He was stunned for a moment, even on the day of the game, there were not so many reporters coming.
Who is that new manager? To get so much media attention?
It was at this moment that he saw the side door open and several people walked in.
The first is Alberto García Cabrera, the club's press officer, the second is the club's manager, Vicente Moscoto, and then the club's president, Francisco Flores, all old faces......
The fourth person who came out immediately after was also a fairly familiar face - Chang Sheng!
Don't......
A thought crossed Rudy Gonzalez's mind, and his eyes widened!
The team's new manager turned out to be ...... This guy?!
※※※
Chang Sheng followed the club's chairman, manager and press officer into the venue.
He could clearly feel that the venue that had been noisy before suddenly fell silent, and countless eyes were cast on him for the first time.
But he didn't feel nervous, even afraid.
He calmly accepted the scrutiny of the reporters.
Then he sat down in his own seat - in the center of the podium.
The manager of the club is on his left hand side and Mr. Chairman is on his right hand side.
In front of him were various microphones piled up on the podium.
Chang Sheng was not familiar with the Spanish media, but he still recognized the logo of the Spanish television station.
Spain's national television stations are here, and I really have a big face......
But he was not afraid of these journalists.
Although he had never been interviewed by reporters in his previous life, he had never eaten pork or seen a pig run, he knew how to deal with reporters, and he had a conflict with the media as soon as he arrived in Getafe in this life, and he was very aware of the virtues of the media.
So today's big scene did not make Chang Sheng lose his ability to think.
Moskva sat next to him, looking at such a big battle, his face was very ugly.
He had dreamed that the press conference hall at the Alfonso Pérez Stadium would gather so many reporters every game, because it meant that Getafe was no longer an obscure team.
But today, for the first time, he didn't want so many journalists to pay attention.
Because behind all this attention, there is ridicule and ridicule.
Although the face is very bad, what needs to be done is still to be done.
After informing the media about the club's signing with Chang Sheng, Mostodo put the two contracts in front of Chang Sheng and Flores.
Then, in front of the reporters, everyone began to sign.
The signing ceremony went on quickly, Chang Sheng buried his head in the sign, and then after Flores finished signing, the two exchanged contract texts and continued to sign.
Mostodo watched from the sidelines, and when he saw Chang Sheng quickly signing his name on the contract, he cursed in his heart: This bastard! I can't wait!
He suddenly had the feeling that he was witnessing Getafe slide into the abyss.
He knew that Getafe was falling into hell, but he couldn't stop it.
Getafe's fate was sealed when Wins and Flores were put to paper – next season, the team will go to Group B in La Liga, and it will be known how long it will be before they will be able to return to La Liga......

Rudy Gonzalez stood in front of the TV in a daze, watching the scene on the TV.
The Chinese coach he knew was signing a contract with the club!
This is the end of his short career as a head coach.
Although he expected this result after that game, he still couldn't accept it when he found out that he was replaced by the head coach of the youth team, still a Chinese.
He originally thought that he was not good enough, so the club would find someone more famous and experienced than himself to coach the team, but he didn't expect the club to directly promote the youth team manager to the first team!
Rudy Gonzalez feels like he's been slapped in the face!
He was still terrified, and he suddenly felt angry.
You don't believe me, but you trust a youth coach who doesn't even have first-team experience? And...... Still a Chinese!
You must know that the Chinese is only twenty-eight years old, and Getafe let a twenty-eight-year-old young man be the head coach of the first team!
This is the youngest manager in La Liga!
But this is definitely not a record to be proud of for Getafe! Rather, a disgrace!
Even if we are small, it is a professional team, the fourth pole of the capital Madrid, but it uses a twenty-eight-year-old Chinese! Isn't this making people laugh at us for having no one?
Could it be that the appeal of Getafe is really that weak? Can't even hire a decent head coach?
Shame on you! Disgrace!
He clenched his fists tightly.
On television, the press conference has already reached the stage where the new manager will speak.
Chang Sheng on the screen leaned closer to the microphone, and he didn't speak immediately, but looked at the reporters below.

Chang Sheng leaned closer to the microphone, and he didn't speak immediately, but looked at the reporters below.
In the past six months, he has dealt with the local media in Getafe many times, but most of the reporters who came today are fresh-faced, which means that they are from other places.
He saw a lot in the faces of these people.
There are doubts, there are surprises, there are blanks, and of course there are ridicule and disdain.
There is just no positive energy.
Hey, looked down upon!
