The night before the game, Diamares was seriously thinking about tomorrow's game. It was not until three o'clock in the evening that he fell asleep in a daze. It was less than three hours. At six o'clock, he no longer felt sleepy.

He did not disturb his wife, and slowly put on his clothes. When he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, he saw that his eyes were covered with blood.

"I slept too little." Diamares smiled bitterly when he thought of the tension and fatigue these days, but he still felt very energetic because he was the acting head coach today, and he knew that Wan Sheng would not go to Pride Stadium, he was the head coach who could make the decision completely.

Before eight o'clock, Diamares arrived at the training ground.

Today is game day, and even Bolton Letter won't come to train so early. The training ground is empty and there is no one. Diamares sat on the grass. Thinking of coming so early, it really has no effect at all, but he still cheered up and thought about the afternoon game.

Time passed slowly, and after 8:30, players began to appear on the training ground.

Wait until nine o'clock, the team gathered and the morning training began.

The training on the game day is still mainly about doing small sports. It does not require much physical energy to consume, and does some restorative and ordinary sports to keep them in shape. Diamares is familiar with this work. He has been the first assistant coach for several years, and he has always been in charge of leading the team training.

But even with this kind of ordinary team training, he felt that time was very difficult.

The afternoon is the competition!

Diamares felt very nervous when he thought of the afternoon game.

What will happen during the game? Is there something I didn’t expect? What if I lose the first game of leading the team? Will the players be dissatisfied with him?

All kinds of thoughts keep moving in his mind. Many times, he will unconsciously think of Wansheng. It would be great if Wansheng is there. He doesn't have to consider these issues, and leave them all to Wansheng for consideration, and he doesn't have to think about anything. Just lead the team to train normally.

Diamares suddenly realized that this idea was wrong. He would also become a head coach in the future. He could not rely on others in everything. He had to consider the problem and make decisions by himself.

Damn it!

Can't do this!

Diamares held the phone and shook his head hard. He originally wanted to call Wan Sheng to confirm something, but he did not dial in the end, but instead he still had a handful of phones on the grass.

Make up your mind.

Today, I am the head coach!

......

For Diamares, the morning time was hard, but for the players, it was just an ordinary morning on a game day. After relaxing training, the time was almost done. After going to the club restaurant for lunch, the team gathered in front of the club department and took the bus to Pride Stadium together.

After entering the stadium, Diamares looked at the time and asked Jim to lead the team to train, while he went to attend the press conference.

He used to attend the press conference instead of Wan Sheng. He was not nervous at that time, but now he stepped into the press conference site. Seeing a group of reporters inside, he suddenly felt very nervous.

He kept thinking in his heart, "Today, I am the protagonist! The protagonist!" But the more he thought so, the more nervous he felt.

Many reporters surrounded him.

Most of the reporters in the venue didn't care about Diamares. They came to attend the press conference to ask about Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng was suspended in this game, but the suspension was just not allowed to appear in the coach's seat. Wan Sheng could still sit in the fan stands to watch the game, and could still use electronic products to remotely control the game. Although the FA stipulates that the ban cannot be related to the game, they cannot fully function. After all, modern communication technology is already very developed.

So an optimistic reporter asked directly, "Where will Wansheng sit and watch the game?"

The pessimistic one asked, "Where is Wan Sheng not here, does the team still have hope of winning?"

So Diamares answered sincerely, "The team's head coach Wan Sheng was suspended and did not come to Pride Stadium today." In fact, what he thought to himself was, 'I am the protagonist today, Wan Sheng is gone, I should be the protagonist again'.

It’s a pity that few reporters care about him. Everyone is thinking about Wan Sheng. For the reporters, what Diamares said is not important at all. Is it meaningful to what an ordinary person says? No. It doesn’t matter what he says. The key is Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng is the team’s head coach and a storied figure in the League One. Such talents are worth their attention. Diamares? Who is that?

What's more, the reporters didn't believe what Diamares said at all... Wansheng is gone?

impossible!

A fool!

There are still questions related to Wansheng in the audience. Diamares was so depressed that he was exhausted to deal with it. Finally, a reporter asked different questions.

"This Mr. Diamares." A reporter spoke.

Diamares felt comfortable all over, and the sound seemed to be a natural sound. He smiled at the reporter friendly, and then heard the other party's question, "What tactics will Derby County use to deal with Watford?"

"Can you announce the starting lineup?"

“…”

Diamares hopes that he is the protagonist, but he is definitely not a fool. Only those cup games, European events, and World Championships will determine the starting lineup before the game. The English League One does not have this regulation. This reporter is so direct and has a clear purpose, so that he can find out about the appearance of Derby County for Watford.

To such a reporter, he could only respond to the "secret" and finally even said "I'm not sure."

......

Diamares was very tired after dealing with the media reporter who had been dealing with for a long time. He felt that his performance when facing reporters was really weak. He finally understood why Wan Sheng hated reporters so much. These reporters were criticizing you in different ways. It was useless to explain what you explained. They asked questions just to achieve their desired goals.

Think about Wansheng’s calm and laughing every time he talks and laughs, and then think about himself... he still needs to learn a lot when dealing with media reporters.

When the chaotic came to the door of the locker room, Diamares did not push the door in immediately, but took out a note from his pocket, which read what he wanted to say to the players before the game. He silently read the contents of the note, raised his fist and said firmly to himself. "I can do it!"

Then he pushed the door open and walked into the locker room.

Everyone looked over.

Everyone was looking at Diamares. Diamares felt this gaze and thought that it was indeed the same as he thought. Then he walked calmly to the middle and was about to speak. At this moment, Morris suddenly asked, "Mr. Diamares, does the boss have any explanation?"

Wan Sheng’s explanation? No more.

Diamares thought about it and Wan Sheng had no explanation. He explained the tactics to the players yesterday, but today he said he would not come to the stadium. It seemed like he knew that he wanted to play the role of the head coach in the last time?

It's possible.

But more importantly, since Wan Sheng did not explain, why are you still standing here for?

No!

I want to say something to cheer up my morale, instead of coming over to say Wan Sheng’s explanation... This is completely different!

Diamares kept spinning in his mind, but in fact, it was because Morris' question completely disrupted his rhythm. He originally wanted to stand among the players and announced his firmly and powerfully what he wanted to say yesterday, but Morris asked this... He suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"You have to say it out! You can't pass this level, so why should you be the head coach!" Diamares quickly became firm again.

So he snorted lightly and said, "Wan Sheng didn't come to the stadium today because he believed in everyone's strength..."

Everyone came to see it.

They wanted to see what Diamares was going to say, but strangely, after saying this, Diamares blushed and didn't know what she was doing. Was she sick?

"Mr. Diamares. What's wrong with you?" asked Burton-Rett.

Of course Diamares was not sick, he forgot his lines! He stood there and thought for a long time, but still didn't expect what the next sentence would be. When he heard Bodonret's question, he answered, "I'm fine."

Immediately relaxed, "Since Wansheng is not here, let's play, maybe he is watching you in some corner of the stadium..."

He suddenly found that he followed Reit, and his words were ten thousand times better than his thoughts... There was no need to make any drafts at all. Every player was very energetic when he heard this sentence.

......

The FA officials, journalists and fans who came to Pride Stadium ignored Diamares's ideas.

They only care about Wansheng.

In order to suspend Wan Sheng for the first game, the FA specially sent three staff members to supervise Wan Sheng. They thought that Wan Sheng would definitely appear in the locker room if they were suspended. They just waited until the game was about to start and followed Wan Sheng to supervise him.

These three staff members are specializing in this.

They have a lot of experience, and they need to be managed by what they need to be managed and what they don’t need to be managed. In order to worry about the face of the FA, for example, the other party must not say anything with electronic devices in front of them. Mobile phones are absolutely prohibited. Of course, if the other party does something to the toilet, they will not be able to control it at all. They can’t prohibit the other party from going to the toilet, right?

But when the game was about to begin and when all Derby County players walked out of the locker room, they did not see Wan Sheng.

They stopped Diamares and asked, "Where is Wansheng?"

"He didn't come." Diamares shrugged.

The three staff members were stunned. This was the first time they encountered this situation. The head coach was suspended and it was impossible for him not to appear on the court?

What's going on?

When the three of them were stunned, Diamares had already walked away, but the three of them didn't believe what they said at all, so they were all working hard to find a victory in the next game.

......

Various journalists and live broadcasting TV stations were also working hard to find Wan Sheng. Before the game started, the camera shot immediately looked at the back of the audience, where three FA staff appeared, and the commentator found that there was no Wan Sheng there.

"Strange, Wansheng is not here?"

The camera turned around and took a few photos back and forth in the audience, but the stands were too big, and there were always many figures in the camera. So who could tell which one was "dressed" Wansheng?

"I think Wansheng must be sitting with some fans. We will take advantage of the game to find him in the stands... This is really interesting..."

The commentator thought so. In fact, many Derby fans also thought that usually the head coach who was suspended had to watch the game and could only be in the stands, so they could be with Wan Sheng.

So they were sitting on the same job, and they were looking around to see if there were Wansheng around them. As a result...of course, no one found Wansheng.

In short, before the game, everyone except the players of the two teams were almost all looking for Wan Sheng. What they didn't know was that Wan Sheng was basking in the sun by the Thames River at this time.

He was dressed in shorts and shorts, and he lay leisurely on the grass, experiencing the nature of the sun shining on his whole body.

On the other side, Darley, Beth and Beth's 12-year-old brother Kroll were busy moving things down the car. Wan Sheng raised his body and looked at the busy figures of the three of them, with a smile on his lips. This kind of relaxed life is so wonderful.

Dali laid out the mat and looked here.

The two looked at each other.

Then he heard Dali roar and shout, "Wansheng, you lazy guy! Come and help!"
