"...Please ask Mr. Parotti. Some people say that what you have achieved under the leadership of the team is based on what Bjorn Hantcek built for you. From this perspective, Hantcek is very important to the team. The current results are also contributing. What is your opinion on this?"

Hearing the question raised by the reporter on TV, Michel Stadt, the assistant coach of Blue and White Munich, couldn't help it: "This is malicious digging!"

Hantchek, who was right beside him, didn't speak, but just folded his arms and continued to watch the news.

In the news, Ettore Parrotti, the current head coach of the Pirates of Madrid, the slightly fat Italian said with a smile on his face:

"It is true. When I took over the Pirates, the team still had a very strong Hantchek style. I think this is a good thing, because it makes it easier for me to take over the team. In Hantchek Under the leadership of Chris, the Madrid Pirates have become a very combative team. I don't need to do too much work to get the team into the fast lane... This is the dream of countless coaches, and I lightly Easy to have…”

Having said that, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and smiled, as if quite proud of himself.

"So I won the Europa League championship in the first season of coaching the team. I hardly made any major adjustments to the team's tactics and personnel framework. In fact, until now, I have continued to use Hunter Some of the things that Cheek left with the team... Like we all know we have two faces on the team..."

He held out two fingers, which looked like he was making a "v".

"I have said more than once that I am very grateful to Mr. Bjorn Hantczek for everything he has done for this team before me. Without him, my job would be infinitely harder. Without him, The Pirates of Madrid will not be back on track so quickly. He is the key figure in pulling the team back from the brink, not only me, but every Pirates of Madrid fan will be grateful to him. I believe that the Pirates Park will be the day after tomorrow The stadium, when he makes his debut, there will be applause."

After Parotti finished speaking, the interview scene also burst into applause.

Obviously, many reporters were impressed by Parrotti's mind.

"As expected of a 'good guy'." Stard said with emotion, "Faced with such a maliciously provocative question, he can still answer it with a smile. Anyway, I don't think I have the patience like him. But, Bjorn, I I don't think that reporter is trying to help you, I prefer to think that he is maliciously tarnishing your image. We all know that you are not the one who cares about what your old club thinks of you, and you have never asked others to respect you Or acknowledge your service to pirates..."

"You're right, Michelle." Hantchek, who had been silent before, suddenly interrupted Stad, "I'm not that kind of person, but I don't mind letting them think I am that kind of person."

Stud stared at him blankly,

I didn't understand what he was talking about for a while: "What do you mean?"

"It means I want them to think that I'm still the 'godfather' of this team."

Stud blinked, but still didn't respond.

Seeing him like this, Hantchek had no choice but to explain patiently: "Michelle, what do you think Parotti is like?"

"Just like his nickname, he is a 'good guy'. He has a good temper, and he can get along well with both the club management and the players. I have never heard of him having conflicts with anyone..." Stad Said. "Even, sometimes he seems a little weak... You see, in the face of such provocations from the media, he still said so much along the lines of the other party. So much so that I thought he really respected you so much..."

"Maybe that's how he respects me," Hantchek said. "To put it simply, although some people always say that he led the team to win the Europa League and the league championship because he inherited what I have. But we all know that he is a very capable head coach, right? But before coaching the Pirates, his reputation was not that big."

Stud nodded: "Indeed. He is not well-known, but he is very capable. Especially his tactical ability is stronger than many people think."

Hantchek was very happy that his partner could point this out. He nodded and said: "Yes. Everyone thinks that Parotti's advantage is that he is good at making good interpersonal relationships. It seems that uniting the locker room is his greatest strength. But because of this Ignoring his tactical ability. After he took over the Madrid Pirates, he was able to quickly launch a set of tactics that was completely opposite to our previous one, which is the best proof."

"That's right. He let Maxi work as a striker but worked as a midfielder. It's a stroke of genius. I even think that the reason why Hu can score so many goals this season is precisely because Parrotti successfully persuaded Maxi to let him go. The right to fire, to assist Hu."

"It's not just that. The introduction of Vukovic and Kamara is to enhance his own pass and control tactics. It can be said that the Madrid Pirates this season are the 'perfect body' in Parrotti's mind," The strongest form'. So this season we saw that they were able to beat the Stan Park Rangers 3:1 away and Tramed 4:1 at home. Both are big scores. What does this mean?"

"It means that the Madrid Pirates are at the strongest time of their team cycle." Assistant coach Stad replied.

"Yeah. Every team goes through a cycle, from transition to maturity, then maturity, and then renewal ... and the Pirates are in that maturity right now. It's a very strong and difficult team. The opponents we dealt with. It is difficult for us to beat them away, so we have to think of other ways..."

"any solution?"

"Parotti is a manager who is always calm, so let him not be calm."

Hearing what Hantchek said, Michelle Stad turned to look at him in surprise.

※※※

Hantchek was standing on the sidelines of the court, surrounded by many reporters, and they all pointed their cameras at this talented young marshal.

From the camera, he seems to be the owner of the stadium.

But in fact, he is no stranger to this stadium.

Reporters are asking him the question: "Does the return to Pirates Park feel familiar to you?"

Hantcheck replied with a smile on his face: "Yes. Everything here is still so familiar. It's like I've never left here ... I'm happy to be back here again, back to Pirates Park, like It's like coming home."

If Hu Lai were to say these words, everyone would think he was acting strangely.

If it were someone else, it would also feel ill-considered.

But when Hantchek said "going home", no one in the room felt that it was inconsistent.

Because this place used to be his home, and it can even be regarded as his home now... After all, there are still many people here who like her.

Another reporter asked: "Parotti said that the reason why he can achieve his current achievements has a lot to do with you. How do you comment on this?"

"I'm happy that my work with this team is still helping them, it shows that I did the right job. There is nothing more fulfilling for a football manager than that. "

Hantchek didn't just say "yes, Parotti was right, he won the championship standing on my shoulders," but that's pretty much what he meant.

"I always feel weird..."

During breakfast, Holly showed Joaquin Bella his phone.

On the screen was a news report that Hantchek led the team to the Pirates Park for training last night.

With a photo.

The photo shows Hantchek standing on the sidelines being interviewed by a circle of reporters.

The photographer was very particular about taking pictures. He specially took pictures from a very low position, and he took pictures of Hantchek’s back. In front of Hantchek, there was a circle of reporters with long guns and short cannons holding microphones. them.

From this perspective, the reporters appear to be much shorter than Hantchek, but Hantchek is very tall, almost as tall as the main stand in front of him.

In particular, Hantchek in the photo is opening his arms, as if embracing the stands.

Although Hu Lai doesn't understand photography, he has basic perception skills.

"...This photo looks and feels to me, as if Hantchek is the owner of this stadium..."

Joaquin Bella felt the same way, and in fact the meaning in this photo is so obvious that no special reading comprehension is required.

But Bella has a different understanding: "Mr. Hantchek can indeed be regarded as the owner of this place. This time, many fans will be there to welcome him back to Pirate Park."

"That's different, Joaquin. It's okay for the fans to welcome the former coach, but he can't be so anti-customer, can he? Did you see what he said in the interview? It's as close as saying, 'The team won the championship because of me. '. I think this is disrespectful to our head coach, right?"

Hu Lai has never played under Hantchek, so he has no affection for the club's meritorious coach.

Instead, he gets along with Parrotti day and night, thinking that Parrotti is a good person worthy of respect. So he naturally stood in Parotti's position.

Bella was a little embarrassed: "Uh... a bit. But Mr. Hantcheck has always been such a 'madman'. He doesn't care what others think of him. He can do whatever he wants, and say whatever he wants."

Joaquin Bella's position is different from that of Hu Lai, so it will indeed be a little awkward. Because he was promoted from the youth team to the first team by Hantchek. It can be said that he has today, all thanks to Bjorn Hantchek, who was the head coach of the Pirates at the time.

It would appear ungrateful if he criticized Hantchek.

"Madman?" Hou Lai thought of his former head coach, Tony Clark, who was nicknamed "Madman".

With this title, Clark acted almost recklessly in the game, and everyone would take it for granted that he made any tactical adjustments.

So sometimes Clark will deliberately exaggerate his crazy side, and then do the opposite at critical moments, catching the opponent by surprise.

He nodded: "What a good character."
