Chapter 224 Funeral! (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

Post-match press conference.

The press hall at the Stadio Olimpico in Barcelona was packed with reporters. The press conference hadn't even started yet, and the reporters were chattering. There was so much to cover about this game.

In one game, the goalkeeper made three low-level mistakes.

Ibiza, who played in the mourning posture, overturned the powerful Spaniards.

Valverde, who was praised by the media before the game and said that he would teach Ibiza's young coach Fang Jue, lost to this young coach.

After the game, the whole Ibiza team dedicated the victory to the old chairman of the club who had just passed away. This scene also moved many people.

In short, the reporters were very excited. There was no shortage of material after the game.

Looking tired and frustrated after the press conference began, Valverde refused to concede defeat, saying his team had just had a bad day.

"One goalkeeper, one game, three turnovers, can you think of that?" Valverde spread his hands, looking helpless.

Some of the reporters nodded, while others shook their heads. After losing, it was very inappropriate to throw the blame on the players. Of course, Kameni’s poor performance today really made people shake their heads. .

Ibiza's young coach Fang Jue refuses to admit that his team wins because of luck.

"I want to thank my players, they played a very good game."

"Luck? Luck is also a part of strength, of course—" Fang Jue paused for a moment with a serious expression, "If I really want to talk about luck, I prefer to understand it as Chairman Alfonso guarding the ball above heaven team, the team he has loved all his life!"

These words won a burst of applause at the scene, the dead are the greatest.

Some superstitious reporters even felt that what Fang Jue said made sense, otherwise today's game would be impossible to explain. Although Kameni made occasional mistakes, three fatal low-level mistakes in one game are too incredible. They would rather believe that this is the effect of mysterious power.

"Kameini is an excellent goalkeeper. Mistakes are part of the football game. Every player may make mistakes, but because of the special position of the goalkeeper, they will be magnified and interpreted." Fang Jue finally comforted him with grace The goalkeeper who made a big mistake for the visiting team, "I know this is a strong player. Today's bad will pass soon, and tomorrow will be sunny again."

The reporters applauded. Compared with Valverde's words of "throwing the blame" on the players, Fang Jue's words are obviously more level.

Despite the 5-3 victory over the Spaniard in the away game, the Ibiza team did not celebrate. The loss and sadness brought by the death of the old chairman Alfonso still permeated the team.

That night, the whole Ibiza team took a chartered flight back to Ibiza overnight, and they were going to attend the funeral the next day.

...

"Brother Tao, I have decided to join Ibiza!"

In the hotel where he stayed, Sun Jihai told his agent Yu Haotao about his decision.

"Don't think about it anymore?" Yu Haotao wanted to persuade him again.

"No, I've decided." Sun Jihai shook his head. "I have confidence in Ibiza. Brother Tao, if I can still play in La Liga in the final stage of my career, I can experience La Liga. I am looking forward to it."

"If you make a decision, I can only fully support you." Yu Haotao said with a wry smile. The two have worked together for many years. Although he has his own little thoughts, the two are old friends. After making a decision, Yu Haotao quickly changed his mind and began to consider the negotiation of Sun Jihai joining Ibiza. This is the basic professional ethics of a broker.

The next morning, reports of the Copa del Rey first-leg tie between Ibiza and Espanyol came out.

The "Daily Sport", which sang the praises of Valverde before the game, used the word "regret" for the loss of this game. The newspaper defended Valverde and believed that the loss was not Valverde Germany's responsibility, "Kameni's low-level mistakes caused all this", "in one game, the goalkeeper made three low-level mistakes, such bad luck, Valverde has nothing to do."

However, the "Daily Sports Daily" did not question Fang Jue's ability this time, but praised Ibiza and their young head coach relatively objectively, "Aside from the luck factor, Coach Fang Jue's team still performed well. Surprisingly, especially in the second half of the game, Ibiza showed the courage to attack, and the young Chinese coach showed surprising aggression, which caught the Spaniard by surprise. '

"World Sports Daily" focused on Korosas, and they were full of praise for the former No. 4 crown prince of La Masia. Although Korosas did not score in the game, he played in midfield The scheduling is very good, Ibiza had two goals directly from Corosas' attack, 'It's unimaginable, with an offer of 600,000 euros, we lost Corosas, this is the loss of Fabrega After Adams, another major mistake and the loss of talent, look at Mark's performance in Ibiza, I don't know if our senior management regrets it now? '

The famous Fang Jue licks the dog and "Catalan Evening News" reporter Fernando continued to wave the flag for Fang Jue after the game, "What did I say before the game? Coach Fang Jue's team will win, those who say Valverde Those who will teach Fang Jue, as you can see now, the talented Chinese coach has conquered the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona...I solemnly tell everyone that this is not the beginning, the young Ibiza is under the leadership of the young coach Fang Jue, in the Go ahead! He'll surprise everyone!"

Fernando almost finished writing this report with his teeth gritted. He slapped the 'slut' who had praised him just now. He cheered himself up: Yes, that bastard will definitely surprise everyone!

He tried his best, he waited, waited for the day when the dawn came!

...

This is the second time Fang Jue has attended a funeral since he came to Spain. The first time he was dragged by Leiberto to attend Sophie's funeral.

Compared with the first time, Fang Jue's mood was obviously sad this time.

After working under Alfonso for more than two years, Fang Jue has complicated feelings and perceptions towards this old man. He is a stingy old man, a stingy capitalist who deducts the wages of his employees, and even the toilets in the training base All papers are charged. Of course, this is also because of the club's financial crisis. However, Fang Jue believes that the old man's stinginess is deep in his bones.

However, the old man really loves the team very much. He is very good to the players, but he can’t pay the wages. He once got a lot of supermarket vouchers and used them secretly for the players. Well, Fang Jue also received these Vouchers, I heard that this once caused Alfonso's chain of supermarkets to suffer consecutive losses...

Thirty-three years ago, he bought the Ibiza club. For thirty-three years, the situation in Ibiza has been up and down. At the most difficult moment, he almost went bankrupt.

Ibiza fans have long been used to the old man's dominance over the team.

When the team was in a bad situation, some people scolded the old man, some scolded the coach, scolded the players, and told the coach to get out, but no one told Alfonso to get out.

This is a complicated old man, some people like him, some people scold him, but no one does not respect him, no one does not recognize his love for the team!

When Leiberto and Li Zihua bought Ibiza, Fang Jue once thought that the old man would not let go so willingly, at least he would not give up the dominance of the club, but the result surprised him.

What he let go of was his lover of thirty-three years, or it could be said that he had been his lover for a lifetime.

Fang Jue led the whole team to attend the funeral. All of them were in black suits, white flowers, black gauze around their arms, with solemn expressions, and Fareko cried like a tearful man.

The fans also came, and Queiroz and Xavi were very sad.

Belmandy came with his precious son, and Fang Jue heard the father say to his son, "There is a real Ibiza lying here!"

Fang Jue felt that these words were the best epitaph for the old man.

"Javier often mentioned you. He told the story of your application for the head coach of the club." Mrs. Alfonso said with a sad expression.

"Mr. Chairman will definitely laugh at my naivety." Fang Jue said with a wry smile.

"No, he admires you very much." Mrs. Alfonso said, "Javier said that a young man who is willing to do his best to seize the opportunity should not be blamed, but should be applauded."

"Javier said that he is very happy, he is looking forward, looking forward to the day when Ibiza is promoted to La Liga, he believes that you can do it." Mrs. Alfonso said.

"Thank you." Fang Jue said, "Yes, I can do it." After a pause, he emphasized his tone, "I will definitely do it!"

Madame Alfonso wiped the corners of her eyes and left. She had other mourners to attend to.

Fang Jue stood aside, looked at the tombstone, and looked at the words engraved on it. At the bottom, there was a sentence, "Javier Nieto Alfonso, who loved Ibiza deeply, died here." '

...

What moved Fang Jue the most was a group of gray-haired old men and old ladies. They didn't speak, they just stood there with solemn expressions, but you could deeply feel their sadness.

A gray-haired, bald old man finally came to the grave, put an obviously old Ibiza scarf in front of the grave, and murmured, "Javier, you and Besoto's bastards, want to Keep cheering for Ibiza in heaven!"

Fang Jue, who had never shed tears, now had red eyes.

"Who is Besoto?" Fang Jue asked Savage with a sad expression.

"A guy who died three years ago, an old alcoholic who swore when he was drunk, number 231," Savage said.

Fang Jue didn't understand.

Later he learned the meaning of that number. It was the 231st deceased buried in this cemetery. They were all old fans of Ibiza, the same age as Alfonso, or older men and women than him. Ladies and gentlemen, this cemetery is the cemetery site chosen by these fans, because from here, you can see the Ibiza Sporting Stadium in the distance. These most die-hard Ibiza fans can be buried here.

Leaving the cemetery, Fang Jue saw a sentence at the entrance of the cemetery. He didn't pay attention when he came in. There was a sentence engraved on it:

Hi, don't forget to let us know when Ibiza is promoted to La Liga.
