Chapter 32 Rookie

Jose Passarella wears the No. 26 jersey and stands in the center back position. It was his first time playing at the Alfonso Perez Stadium. When I was in the C team before, I could only play at the Las Margarita Stadium.

For him, this should be a very special day. He knows that his parents and two younger brothers are in the stands. They came to watch his first senior professional game.

But he didn't look up to look for his family on the stage.

He looked to the sidelines.

As if he had a tacit understanding, Chang Sheng also happened to turn his head to look at him.

When he found that the other party was staring at him, he gave Passarella a thumbs up.

Seeing the boss do this to himself, Passarella laughed, full of confidence in his heart.

He looked away from the coach and back on the court, staring at the yellow-jerseyed opponents across the court, taking a deep breath.

bring it on!

My first professional league game!

The crisp whistle sounded in the noisy Alfonso Perez Stadium.

"Getafe is playing against Villarreal at home... In this game, the young Chinese coach Chang Sheng made another unexpected starting lineup!" Today's commentator Klespo did not call Chang Sheng as "Mysterious Chinese coach", because of this, he was scolded by many audiences after the game.

It is said that everyone watched a game and didn’t know the name of the Chinese coach who could lead the team to defeat Osasuna. A commentator doesn’t even do basic homework, so he should not be a commentator at all.

He was really depressed.

In the beginning, calling Chang Sheng that way was just to express contempt. Who would have thought that the Chinese coach he looked down on could lead Getafe to reverse the lore of Osasuna when they were two goals behind!

The next day he was on the front pages of the newspapers.

When I taunted the Chinese coach to my heart's content, who would have thought that his turnaround would come so quickly?

So in this game, he didn't dare to be careless anymore, and introduced Chang Sheng to the audience very politely. It seems that in order to make the introduction clear enough, he has not used "Chang" to refer to Chang Sheng, but repeated the awkward name "Chang Sheng" over and over again.

"In this strange 433, he played two players drawn from the C team in one breath! No. 25 Carlos Campo served as a defensive midfielder, and No. 26 Jose Passarella served as a central defender ...Carlos Campo still has fifteen minutes of first-team experience, but he is still a rookie. And Jose Passarella is even more exaggerated! He has not even a minute of experience! Before this game, he was still with the Getafe C team... The victorious coach suddenly transferred him from the C team to replace the central defender Fernando Moreno who started the previous game. Really let a It is a bold and crazy move. You must know that in the key position of central defender, experience is very important, but Passarella obviously does not have the corresponding experience. Why does Changsheng let him start?"

Crespo spoke exaggeratedly.

This is not only his doubt, but also the doubt of many who saw this starting lineup.

"That lunatic! Idiot!" In the media seats, the reporters were scolding the hated Chang Sheng.

They seized the opportunity and criticized Chang Sheng mercilessly.

How could an inexperienced rookie play such an important position in such an important game?

You must know that Carlos Campo performed well in the last game, but he only came off the bench in the last fifteen minutes, rather than starting at the beginning.

Starting and coming off the bench are two completely different concepts, not just the difference in playing time.

Among these reporters, there are not a few who have worked hard to investigate Chang Sheng's opponents—since we have to deal with him,

It is natural to know your enemy.

So they all know the relationship between Chang Sheng and Passarella. If there is no Chang Sheng, Passarella will probably be finished. Therefore, Chang Sheng has shown some insight in Passarella... But This is not the reason why Changsheng can leapfrog Passarella.

For young players, the most important thing is to step by step, play steadily, and improve yourself little by little. Being like Carlos Campo should be a forced choice. Just because Carlos Campo's unexpected success doesn't mean he should try to replicate it on Jose Passarella.

This is undesirable, and it may be counterproductive to encourage seedlings to grow.

The reporters knew about the relationship between Chang Sheng and Passarella, so they thought it was Chang Sheng's favoritism.

But this is not a good thing for himself or Passarella.

Because starting Passarella in such an important game may make him the biggest hole and weakness in the team's defense. The opponent is not a fool. Villarreal is a La Liga team. Will adjust for this.

At that time, if Passarella is completely beaten by the opponent in the game, what a heavy blow it will be to a boy who is only eighteen years old. He will most likely be devastated. Such a talented and promising star was ruined by a coach eager for quick success!

And what about Chang Sheng? Because of the failure of this game, the prestige and morale that was finally built up will be lost, and then Getafe will be defeated... In the end, they will be relegated to Group B of the second division. no one has seen him...

In the minds of this group of imaginative reporters, they have already outlined a complete story development clue for Chang Sheng. They are sure that this game will develop as they imagined, and after this game, Chang Sheng's life trajectory will also develop like this.

But why would Chang Sheng do this?

Quite simply, he inflated himself!

"In the last game, I was lucky and beat Osasuna. I didn't know the sky is high! I thought that I could easily beat Villarreal at home! How stupid to have such an idea! "

"It's good that he is stupid, so we have the opportunity and evidence to prove his failure. I wish he could be more stupid!"

Those journalists who were not happy with the constant victory chatted, and their words were full of vicious curses and sarcasm.

And those local Getafe reporters who cared about Changsheng were also a little worried, frowning and sighing.

"Hey, I'm still too young after all... only 28 years old, younger than many players... once I win a game, I forget about it..."

"He thinks about professional football too simply? If this continues, he will suffer a lot!"

"It's all happened, so what's the point?"

While they were talking, the game had already begun!

When Villarreal got Getafe's starting list before the start of the game, they were keenly aware of this problem-the person who appeared in the central defender position and partnered with Getafe captain Canizares was a very strange name.

After a little understanding, they knew that this person was a player from Team C. Too young, only eighteen years old, and has never had experience in first-team competitions before, not even a warm-up match.

Just like that, he became the starter of this game all of a sudden.

This is really surprising.

They couldn't figure out why Chang Sheng didn't use two central defenders, Fernando Moreno and Victor Segura, but wanted to use an inexperienced rookie.

But that's not the point of their concern. They just need to know that Chang Sheng made a mistake, and they need to capitalize on it.

Since this position is an inexperienced rookie, then use him as a breakthrough point,

So Villarreal coach Paquito (aka Francisco García Gomez) temporarily modified the team's tactics. He asked the players to assist Jose Passare in the process of attacking. La is the right center back position.

Open the gap from this young rookie.

He believed that this inexperienced young man would soon collapse under the stormy offensive of the yellow submarine.

Until then, Villarreal can play as they please.

He wasn't even worried about what countermeasures the young Chinese coach would make. In his opinion, this young Chinese coach is also an inexperienced product, otherwise how could he make such a low-level mistake?

The 61-year-old Paquito attaches great importance to experience, whether as a player or as a coach, experience is the most important.

In this way, when the game started, Villarreal quickly launched a violent offensive against Getafe's penalty area...or, in other words, launched a violent offensive towards Jose Passarella.

Try to completely defeat this young rookie in the shortest time!

Even the fans in the stands could see Villarreal's plans, and they all sweated for the new star of the C team's defense.

The commentator even directly sentenced Jose Passarella to death: "Jose Passarella was originally a young rookie in the Getafe C team...but the tragedy is that he is the first player in the first team. The timing of the show was really terrible. I can say that he played a...wrong game at the wrong time, under the wrong coach! What a pity for a good seed..."

He shook his head as he spoke.

Chang Sheng also squatted on the sidelines, staring at Jose on the court.

Of course he knew what storms and waves his arrangement would bring to Jose. But he has no choice, he can only trust Jose's faith in himself and his firm belief...

What he was betting on was the effect after he continued to use the skill "This is how geniuses are made" on Jose Passarella.

Today's Jose Passarella's attributes have improved compared to the first time Chang Sheng saw him.

Especially on several key attributes.

He gradually has the appearance of a good central defender.

However, in this game, Chang Sheng values ​​these attributes the most:

Jose's [prediction] was originally sixty, but now it has grown to sixty-seven.

[Defensive position] Originally seventy-five, now eighty-three.

[Decision] Originally seventy-six, now eighty-one.

In the game, he will maximize the use of these attributes to defend and deal with the monstrous waves set off by Villarreal.

Many people are not optimistic about this rookie, but Chang Sheng is clenching his fists, nervous and looking forward to it.

Is what you have practiced by yourself worthy of great use?
