The Glory of the Godfather

Chapter 215: Expedition to Barcelona

On the evening of January 10th, the Ibiza team set off from Ibiza Airport on a chartered flight and arrived in Barcelona.

  

   The whole team has solemn expressions. Now everyone has learned about the sudden death of the old chairman Javier Nieto Alfonso.

  

Mata, Royce, Alba, Lewandowski and other new players who joined the team last summer did not have much feelings, but the'old' players who have played for Ibiza for many years are all sad. , Especially the players trained by Ibiza's own youth training such as Clement, Valeco and Simon Wright are very sad, and the small Farreco can't help crying.

  

Before he was born, Ibiza’s boss was the old Alfonso. Farreco entered the Ibiza youth training at the age of nine. Later, he attracted attention because of his outstanding talent. The genius he cultivated loved him very much. Old Alfonso had no grandchildren, and he almost regarded this little guy as his own grandchild, and he loved him very much.

  

   Arrived at the Rebeto hotel chain in Barcelona and arranged for the players to stay.

  

Fang Jue received a call from Miss Papa. Manchester City has agreed to let Sun Jihai leave because Sun Jihai’s contract with Manchester City expires in half a year. In order to thank the Chinese veteran for his six-year contribution to Manchester City, Manchester City Just as a favor, did not intend to earn transfer fees from Sun Jihai, and agreed to terminate the contract with Sun Jihai six months in advance and send Sun Jihai to Ibiza.

  

Of course, Sun Jihai has only half a year's contract left, and he is'old age'. Even if he charges a transfer fee, it is only hundreds of thousands of euros. However, the attitude of the Manchester City team is good. Manchester City does not want the transfer fee, then , Sun Jihai joined freely, and Ibiza will take care of it appropriately in salary negotiations.

  

   In addition, Li Zihua has already contacted Sun Jihai and his agent through the introduction of an intermediary. Sun Jihai is very interested in joining a Chinese-funded organization and the Chinese coach of the Second Division team.

  

  ……

  

   Many reporters gathered outside the Rebeto hotel chain.

  

   "Ronaldinho is here!"

  

   "It's Puyol, the captain is here too!"

  

   "Messi is here!"

  

Ronaldinho appeared at the Reberto hotel chain and hurriedly left. Later, Barcelona captain Puyol, Barcelona Golden Boy, just ranked second after Kaka in the Golden Globe Awards Messi and other Barcelona stars appeared in the Rebeto Hotel successively, which attracted the attention of the local media in Barcelona.

  

   Puyol was surrounded by reporters when he left the hotel.

  

   The Barcelona captain admitted that he was here to put Fang Jue, the head coach of the Ibiza team.

  

   A reporter asked half-jokingly whether he was cheering on Ibiza and encouraging them to beat the Spaniards in the Copa del Rey.

  

   Puyol naturally denied it. He said that the Spaniard is the Barcelona team. At this moment, although the Spaniard is a mortal enemy of the Barcelona team, he still hopes that the local Barcelona team can win.

  

   Puyol said that the purpose of his trip was to express condolences.

  

   "Fang and I are friends, and I also know Mr. Alfonso, the chairman of the Ibiza Club. We are sad for the passing of Mr. Alfonso. There is no old man who really loves football in football."

  

The reporters learned about the death of the old president of the Ibiza Club. Yes, even though the entire island of Ibiza is immersed in grief at this moment, Alfonso has no reputation in Spanish football. These reporters I would not care about and understand the death of an old man, but now it is because of the visit of the Barcelona stars. Some media are also in unimportant corners, reporting the death of the old chairman of Ibiza.

  

"Obviously, this is a difficult time for Ibiza. Their old chairman, Mr. Javier Nieto Alfonso, has unfortunately passed away, and they will also face the powerful Spaniards at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium..."- -"Daily Sports News".

  

"Ibiza coach Mr. Fang Jue is friends with many Barcelona stars including Puyol, Ronaldinho and Messi. Our captain personally visited the Ibiza team as a guest to express his comfort and condolences... …" “World Sports News” reported, “…Ibiza’s young Chinese coach has become a magical coach in the Western Second Division. It is worth mentioning that he has a good relationship with many Real Madrid players. Last season, Ibiza was a guest at the Bernabéu in the promotion play-offs of the Western League B. Some reporters also photographed Casillas chatting with a young Chinese coach. It is said that he and Zidane are also friends... The manager is becoming Before the head coach, he worked in the club of Ibiza and was a craftsman who sold his own handicrafts on the beach. It is said that his works are like him and are very popular with female customers."

  

   Yes, Alfonso’s death was only slightly mentioned by the media. In their eyes, the death of this old man is not as valuable as reporting the interesting story (gossip) of the young head coach of Ibiza.

  

  ……

  

   January 11, at 8:40 in the evening.

  

   Barcelona, ​​Olympic Stadium.

  

   The fifth round of the Spanish Copa del Rey and the first leg of the 1/8 final in the 2007/2008 season, the Spaniard's home game against Ibiza is about to begin.

  

   Both players have entered the field.

  

   Before the start of the game, a silent ceremony was held to mourn the death of the old president of the Ibiza Club, Mr. Javier Nieto Alfonso.

  

   The camera swept over the players of Ibiza, and the small Fareco on the bench burst into tears, everyone was solemn, and Fang Jue was also very serious.

  

   A picture of Mr. Alfonso was shown on the big screen of the Olin Poker Stadium in Barcelona.

  

   The silence ceremony ended.

  

   The Spanish fans stood up and applauded, giving the visiting team the greatest respect and comfort.

  

   The starting list of both sides was also played on the big screen of the stadium.

  

   Ibiza:

  

   Goalkeeper: 1-Simon Wright;

  

   Defensive line: 20-Abate, 15-Koscielny, 2-Ayala, 16-Alba;

  

   Midfielder: 5-Clement, 4-Mark Corozas, 7-Mata, 17-Royce, 10-Deisler;

  

   Forward: 25-Lewandowski;

  

  Spanish:

  

   Goalkeeper: 1-Kameni;

  

   Defensive line: 8-Sabaleta, 21-Halk, 19-Torrejon, 6-Clement Rodriguez;

  

   Midfielder: 22-Moises, 25-Smijanic, 7-Bardo, 11-Riera;

  

   Forwards: 10-Luis Garcia, 23-Tamudo;

  

   "The Spaniard really valued us and kicked us as Real Madrid." Fang Jue put down his hand and got the Spaniard's starting list, shook his head and said.

  

Fang Jue’s memory is very good. He has a thorough study of the Spaniard. He immediately remembered that today’s Spaniard’s starting lineup is exactly the same as that of Real Madrid at home in La Liga. In that game, the Spaniard’s lineup is exactly the same as that of Real Madrid. With the goals of Riera and Tamudo, they defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, giving the Galacticos their first defeat in the new season.

  

   "The Spaniards attach great importance to the Copa del Rey, they are planning to determine the outcome of a game." Ceballos said.

  

Fang Jue nodded. He was a little disappointed at the same time. He thought that the Spaniard would pay special attention to the league and not the Copa del Rey. You must know that in La Liga three days ago, the Spaniard just finished a focus game and ranked The third-placed Spaniard defeated the fifth-placed Villarreal by 3-0 at home. Fang Jue thought he had just played a focus game, and he was tired. Today’s game is the Spaniard. Will choose to rotate, it seems that this is not the case, the Spaniard seems to have ideas about the Copa del Rey.

  

  ……

  

   Although Fang Jue is eager to win, he has to admit that it is difficult. The Spaniard's starting lineup is indeed very strong.

  

   Goalkeeper Kameni is Cameroon’s national team and played in the 2006 World Cup.

  

   Right back Pablo Sabaletta is a young Argentine international. Fang Jue was very impressed with this player. Argentina won the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. Messi is the number one star and Sabaletta is the captain of Argentina.

  

   This full-back is both offensive and defensive, good at sprinting, and a good long shot.

  

Fang Jue paid attention to Sabaletta because he watched the game of the Chinese National Youth Team. In that World Youth Championship, the Chinese National Youth Team was led by the German coach Klauchen. The Chinese team had all three group matches. Victory defeated Turkey, Ukraine and Panama respectively, and scored 9 goals in three group matches to qualify for the group's first place. In the end, unfortunately, they lost to Germany 2:3 in the eighth-finals and stopped 16. Strong.

  

  Central defender Dani Halke was produced by the Spanish youth training. In 2006 and 2007, he served as the core of the defense and helped the team win the Copa del Rey and the runner-up of the UEFA Cup. This is also the Spanish international.

  

   Left back Clement Rodriguez, also an Argentina international, won the Athens Olympic gold medal.

  

The midfielder Smijanic is the Serbian international; Albert Riera is the Spanish international. Riera made his debut in Mallorca. Although he is close to 190 cm in height, Riera is not slow, and Possess excellent foot technique.

  

The forward Luis Garcia, produced by Real Madrid Castilla, is also an active Spanish international, while another striker Tamudo is also an active Spanish international. Tamudo is the Spanish captain and is in the Spanish national team. , He is considered to be Real Madrid captain Raúl's substitute, and Real Madrid's 7 since his debut, Tamudo is flat-looking, simple style of play, his youth was not noticed.

  

   Tamudo joined the Spanish Youth Training at the age of 14 and walked step by step. After two rents, he finally gained a foothold in 1999/2000. In the first complete La Liga journey, 10 goals were dedicated in 34 games and followed the team to the Copa del Rey final. In the final, a sneak attack in the opening two minutes helped the Spaniard beat Atletico Madrid to the championship with a final score of 2:1. In the subsequent 2000 Sydney Olympics, Tamudo reached the final as a member of the Spanish national youth team and got runner-up.

  

   In the next 9 seasons, Tamudo became the legend of the Spaniard. He never scored less than 10 goals in the league each season and gradually became the banner of the Parrots.

  

   In the 2001/2002 season, the young Tamudo became the captain of the Spaniard and scored 17 goals that season, tied for fourth in the scorer list.

  

   In the 2003/2004 season, Tamudo once again broke out and took the third place in the scorer list with 19 goals. This kind of performance is the basis for the Spaniards who occasionally hit the top 6 in the midfield. Similarly, maintaining such a goal efficiency is never an easy task for a striker.

  

   Counting from the youth training period, Tamudo played for the Spaniard for 13 years. Since the return of the loan in the summer of 1999, 118 La Liga goals have been scored in 9 years, which is also the Spanish team history record.

  

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Tamudo is the most disliked rival of Barcelona fans. In the derby, Tamudo was the most feared Spaniard star in Barcelona, ​​especially on June 9, 2007. In the Barcelona Derby Espanyol’s 2:2 draw with Barcelona, ​​El Tamudo scored his 112th and 113 goals in the Espanyol club, and then surpassed the famous Rafael Maranhão to become The club’s first scorer ever. It is worth mentioning that Tamudo's stoppage time at Camp Nou also ruined the dream of winning the title of rival Barcelona. After the end of the season, Barcelona and rival Real Madrid had 76 points, but because of the disadvantage of the relationship between the winners and losers of each other's games, they could only be second.

  

  Yes, Tamudo’s name is Raul Tamudo, which has the same name as Madrid’s No. 7, the Galacticos has its own Raul, and the Spaniard has its own Raul, it’s so amazing.

  

   Just look at this starting lineup. The Spaniard can now rank third in La Liga, only one point behind Barcelona. It really deserves its name. This is a very powerful team.

  

  ……

  

   In addition, in the eyes of many media, the most important thing for the Spaniards is that they have a talented coach: Esneto Valverde.

  

   Before the game, there was a report in the Daily Sports News that praised the Spaniard coach Esnetto Valverde.

  

   Valverde took over the Spaniard last summer. When he took over, the Spaniard's situation was not good. In a critical moment, Valverde chose to trust the young. The average age of the team is only 23.8 years old. The main defensive line includes the 23-year-old Dani Harque, 21-year-old Sabaletta, and 20-year-old Torrejón; the offensive end pays more attention to more experience, Pandiani and De La Pena are 30 years old, Rufitte is 29, Tamudo is 28, Luis Garcia is 25, and Riera is 24.

  

   This is a perfect match between a talented star and a well-known veteran.

  

   Valverde’s Spaniard set off a youth storm last season. Indeed, the Spaniard’s performance in La Liga was not impressive. The first ten rounds were only 1 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, and the end of the season ranked 11th. However, the youth storm blew up by Valverde brought the team to the UEFA Cup final.

  

Under his leadership, the Spaniard maintained a complete victory in the group stage against Ajax, Vienna, Austria, Sparta Prague, and Wilshire, Belgium; the knockout round won the home game, unbeaten away, and eliminated Livorno and Haifa one after another. Maccabi, Benfica and Werder Bremen reached the finals.

  

"Daily Sports" praised Valverde, and also listed many stars and talented players who fell at the feet of Spain last season: Stecklenburg, Vermaelen, Sneijder, Huntelaar (Aja X), Amelia, Lucarelli (Livorno), David Luiz, Rui Costa, Cara Gomez, Simao, Nuno Gomez (Benfica), Wiese, Flins, Diego, Almeida, Klose (Werder Bremen).

  

Finally, the "Daily Sports" looked forward to the Spaniard and Ibiza match, and also compared Valverde and Fang Jue. Both of them like to reuse young players and set off youth storms in their respective leagues. Spain ranked third in La Liga, and Ibiza ranked first in La Liga. However, the newspaper finally stated that Fang Jue was too far behind Valverde, and Valverde led the Spaniard to take As the runner-up in the UEFA Cup last season, the third place in La Liga is also much higher than Fang Jue's Ibiza.

  

   "This game is a good opportunity for the young Chinese coach to learn, and Valverde will give this young over-excessive coach a good lesson."

  

Regarding the argument of the "Daily Sports", the famous Fang Jue licking the dog "Catalonia Evening News" reporter Fernando refuted it. He said that coach Fang Jue is a very talented coach and won the game. The side must be coach Fang Jue. Then, Fernando Barabara said that Chase seems to make sense, but after careful analysis there is no nutrition, and finally came to the conclusion: Fang Jue must win, Ibiza must win, Balve Morality is not as good as Fang Jue!

  

At this moment, Fernando is in the media booth. Thinking of the ridicule caused by his report, he feels happy in his heart. He is looking forward to, looking forward to Ibiza's loss, preferably a miserable defeat, and then he will do it again. Feeling sophistry, pulling hatred... Tsk tsk, just imagine it to be beautiful.

  

  Who would have thought that Fang Jue’s licking dog was an undercover agent!

  

   I am so talented!

  

  ……

  

   In the stands of the Barcelona Olympic Stadium.

  

  Sun Jihai and his agent Yu Haotao hurriedly settled down.

  

   At this time, the game has started for more than ten minutes, they are stuck in traffic and they are late.

  

"Jihai, I still think you should consider it carefully." Yu Haotao said, he does not support Sun Jihai to play in Spain. Yu Haotao has been persuading Sun Jihai to join the Sheffield United team in the British championship after the end of the season. On the one hand, he believes that Sun Jihai has played in England for many years and is familiar with the English football environment. However, for an important reason, Yu Haotao is also one of the leaders of the cooperation between the British Championship and the Chengdu Sheffield United Club. He has already planned. Sun Jihai played for Sheffield United for a year and then returned to Chengdu to play. This will help Sheffield United to develop the Chinese market. At the same time, it will also help the development of Chengdu Sheffield United. A certain benefit can be gained in it, but Yu Haotao feels that he has a clear conscience, and he is indeed considering Sun Jihai. This plan is also very helpful to the players.

  

However, after Sun Jihai learned that a West Second League team was interested in him, he learned that Ibiza’s major shareholder is a Chinese, and the head coach is also a Chinese, he became interested, especially inquiring about Ibiza. He is now the leader of the La Liga, and it is hoped that he will be more interested after upgrading to La Liga after the end of the season.

  

If he can play in La Liga, Sun Jihai is still very interested. Now, the money factor has not been the first consideration for him. In the last stage of his career, he can feel different football and be able to play in La Liga. The game, he wants to try.

  

   Moreover, Sun Jihai was also surprised to learn about the Ibiza club. Germany international Dessler and Argentine old captain Ayala are all in this team, which makes him more curious about Ibiza.

  

   Of course, he was even more curious about how a young Chinese could coach Ibiza and achieved great success.

  

   Therefore, Sun Jihai did not care about the dissuasion of his agent's old friends and insisted on coming to Barcelona. He wanted to watch this team's game live and observe this team up close.

  

   "Brother Tao, what do you think of this game?" Sun Jihai asked.

  

   "The Spaniard wins." Yu Haotao said, "It may even be a big win."

  

  "Tao brother is not so optimistic about Ibiza?" Sun Jihai asked.

  

"The strength of the two sides is very different." Yu Haotao analyzed, "The Spaniard has one Cameroon international, two Argentina international, one Serbia international, and four Spain internationals. Coach Valverde is also very capable. They last season. It is the Spanish Copa del Rey champion, the UEFA Cup runner-up last season, and now it is third in La Liga. Such a strong team is not comparable to the Spanish second league team. In addition to Dessler and Ayala, Ibiza The other players are not worth mentioning at all, the gap is too big."

  

Speaking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Yu Haotao suddenly felt that he shouldn't stop Sun Jihai from coming to Barcelona to watch this game. After seeing Ibiza suffered a defeat or even a fiasco, maybe Sun Jihai would Will realize that this West Second League team is not a good place to go, will change your mind.

  

  ……

  

   Fang Jue stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the inside.

  

After the game began, the Spaniards showed a strong aggressiveness. They put pressure on the fans of Ibiza. Obviously, as Ceballos said, the Spaniard coach Valverde and confident, he thought Want a game to set the world.

  

Fang Jue’s gaze turned to the Spaniard’s Cameroon national goal Kameni. The latter seemed very leisurely after the game began. The Spaniard took the initiative and once formed a half-time siege on Ibiza, which made Kameni nothing. It can be done, even a little boring, I don't know if it was intentional or really sleepy. The Cameroonian national team even yawned, which also caused the cheers of the Spanish fans in the stands: they were very proud.
