Green striker

Midweek.

The third round of the Copa del Rey match between Tarragona and Universidad de Las Penmas begins.

This game was still played at the home stadium of Tarragona. For this Copa del Rey game, there were not as many Tarragona fans as there were in the league.

In other words, the main stand is almost full. It seems that the number of fans who came today does not exceed 4,000. This number is less than a quarter of the number in the league.

But there is a reason for this.

Because of nothing else but the game time, the officials arranged an unusual time for the game to be held at 10 a.m.

Morning games are rare in Spain. Midweek games are rarely watched by people, and at this time in the morning, the official thinking is always elusive.

But it doesn't matter anymore. As for the cup competition, Tarragona is the kind of person who has just let it happen.

Otherwise, Tarragona's starting lineup today will not be like the second round, with all the substitutes being in the first team and unable to occupy the main position.

Chen Yang, like the second round of the King's Cup, although he came to the scene, he was not on the bench.

Chen Yang wants to be a spectator today. As one of the 4,000 spectators who come to the stadium to watch the team's game, he will watch the team's game from the stands.

However, as a player, Chen Yang still enjoys some small privileges.

That is, he, Chen Yang, is at the scene now, wearing a hat and casual clothes. He can watch the game from the highest stand of the stadium and the best viewing position in the box.

Even Chen Yang didn't need to pay a penny for it.

Because of this privilege, it came from the invitation of the club chairman, the current owner of the team, Chairman Cruz. This old gentleman invited Chen Yang, who was not included in the game squad today, to watch the game together.

So, does Chen Yang still need to pay?

Of course it's not needed anymore.

If you have money and power, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want.

"What would you like to drink? Champagne, red wine, maybe nothing else, wine is indispensable here, or just simple drinks and snacks, I have them here too."

In the box, the old gentleman asked Chen Yang generously as the host. There are more than a dozen boxes in the Tarragona stadium, but this is a special viewing area that can be said to be reserved for the old gentleman. It is only for

As the president of the club, Cruz opened the door alone, and there is a reason for this.

While talking, the old gentleman opened the refrigerator one by one, and also opened the cupboards on the wall, revealing the treasures inside, which were all fine wines!

At a glance, there are at least dozens or hundreds of bottles of wine inside, and just by looking at it, you can tell that they are definitely high-end products. Of course, there are also daily drinks, snacks and other daily necessities inside.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was a little surprised by Cruz's preferences, but he also somewhat thought of Cruz's mood.

Chen Yang smiled slightly, then saw him shaking his head, and politely refused: "No, I don't drink alcohol or drinks, and I don't understand the culture of these wines. If you give me a drink, it's just a kind of

waste."

"If you can, just bring me a cup of boiled water, or a cup of hot coffee."

A gentleman does not appreciate the goodness of others. Looking at so many "treasures", you will know how much Cruz, an old gentleman, likes wine. Chen Yang is not a drinker. For him, a guy who knows nothing about wine, it is casual.

Opening a bottle of wine is just a waste of money.

Because wine tasting is about artistic appreciation. Chen Yang himself admitted that he really didn’t have the energy and didn’t like it.

But I didn't expect that Chen Yang's words made the old gentleman laugh and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't drink. For you young people, it's a good thing not to drink. Alcohol, this thing is addictive."

, but it’s really nothing worthwhile.”

At this time, the old gentleman closed the refrigerator and cupboard again, and then said: "For example, let's take me."

Um?

How to say this?

"Why do you say that?" Chen Yang raised his head and looked at Cruz with questioning eyes.

The old gentleman chuckled and said: "I drank too much when I was young. Not only did I miss a lot of opportunities, but I also missed the people I loved most. When I got old, I got sick from drinking. Now I can no longer drink.

Already."

The old man's voice was very calm, not as if he was talking about himself, but as someone else's story.

After hearing this, Chen Yang just said softly, "Well... I'm sorry."

"There is no need to apologize to me. There is no need. This is my own choice." The old gentleman shook his head, "In the past few decades of my life, there are two things that have made up who I am, and that is football and wine.

These two things are also my own choices."

The old gentleman paused here. He pointed to the two chairs in front and motioned for Chen Yang to sit down with him before talking.

After Cruz and Chen Yang sat down, Cruz leaned back on the leather seat. He spread his hands and continued: "In this process, I gave up some, but at the same time I also gained a lot."

"At least, I learned a lot from the loss. After I woke up, I did not continue to choose to sink. Instead, I woke up quickly, embraced life again, and put my life on the right track again."

"Although I can no longer enjoy fine wine, I still have football with me, which is enough."

At this point, the old gentleman laughed again and said to Chen Yang: "Sorry, maybe it's because I'm old. I like to share my experiences with others. I just told you so much, I know you guys

Young people don’t like to hear people say this, so I hope you don’t mind, Chen.”

Chen Yang shrugged and said, "I don't mind. On the contrary, I am listening carefully to what you shared with me."

Young and irritable people may be dissatisfied and impatient with an elderly man who is over seventy years old and nagging them next to him.

But Chen Yang doesn't. In his opinion, if someone is willing to tell stories and share experiences with him, this is a good thing, because it means a lot.

This is not a man talking nervously to a big cold stone.

This is trust, and it means that chatting with him about stories and experiences is interesting and meaningful.

In this process, friendships between friends are often established in this way.

Chen Yang felt that the current situation was a good time to establish a good friendship with the old gentleman, the club chairman.

All Chen Yang has to do is to be more patient, respectful, serious, and listening... these are the most basic and basic things.

For Chen Yang, it was too easy.

As for the situation below the stadium, the game situation and results on the football field must be clearly distinguished.

It's not a game where Chen Yang plays, so just pay a little attention to the result.

So, the Copa del Rey match between Tarragona and Universidad de Las Penmas was played.

Chen Yang and club chairman Mr. Cruz were also chatting.

Wait until the game is over.

In the second half of the game, in the 88th minute, Tarragona midfielder Musk faced a two-point penalty during the attack, and then inserted a long-range shot to score a world-beating goal.

Tarragona finally defeated Universidad Las Penmas at home with a score of 1:0.

With many bumps and bruises, thanks to the efforts of this group of all-substitute players in Tarragona, they made it to the fourth round of the Copa del Rey finals.

In this winning match, Chen Yang also successfully formed a good friendship with Cruz, an old gentleman.

There is no way. Since Chen Yang came back, he has been a self-disciplined and successful person in both life and career. There is no reason why his personality charm should be annoying to others.

So after the game, the old gentleman invited Chen Yang to his home for lunch.

Chen Yang is naturally capable of this.

I have a good relationship with the club president and team owner, and I also have a good relationship with the team's head coach. What kind of experience is this?

To describe it in one sentence, the entire team is now known to Chen Yang!

Therefore, will Chen Yang still lose his main position in Tarragona?

Plus, what’s more important is getting results!

As long as...he, Chen Yang, continues to perform well in the team and remains hot.

So regarding position and competition, Chen Yang doesn't need to worry at all.

Today... I had a pretty good harvest.

Chen Yang was thinking optimistically.

Then, he thought about it again.

How...did you win this game again?

Reached the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.

Isn't that just to have a chance to compete with La Liga teams?

But that's not all Chen Yang was thinking about, but because... according to the format of the King's Cup, after the third round, except for the final, which is determined by a single game, all other games will be home and away.

In this case, Tarragona will play two more games in Segunda División this season.

At the same time, there will be two more double matches per week on the boat.

Really... Chen Yang didn't know what to say.

This matter is something that the club should worry about.
