Chapter 1565 Everyone Is Happy
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Girona's players didn't want to stay on the court for a moment. This humiliating defeat, which will almost be written into team history, has taken a heavy blow to their psychology.
Now the games of the relegation opponents are not over yet, and some have not yet started, but even so, Girona is still ranked third from the bottom. After this round, they will undoubtedly fall deep into the relegation zone, although There are still three rounds left in the game, but the chances of struggling to get ashore are already low.
Especially the 0-8 loss in this round, it is a kind of destruction to the confidence of the players. I really don't know what to do in the next three rounds.
Relegation teams sometimes rely on a surge of anger to hold on. Once this anger is exhausted, coupled with the despairing number of points away from landing, it is really powerless to return to the sky.
Although in theory Girona still has hope of relegation, people who know the ball can see that if they want to watch Girona's game next season, I am afraid they can only go to the La Liga.
As soon as the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go to the locker room together! Give the players another boost!"
"Any bonus?" Zhou Leiyun asked.
"It's a must!" Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Of course, it's enough to add 20% on the basis of the winning prize this time, so it should be encouraged in advance! In addition, we have to promise that if we enter the European Union Fight, and everyone will get a big bonus! Sometimes money is the most motivating factor!”
"No problem!" Zhou Leiyun said.
Xia Ruofei turned his head to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue and said, "Let President Zhou send a car to take you two back to the hotel first?"
The two girls are naturally not suitable for entering the locker room, and Xia Ruofei didn't want them to wait for him all the time, so he wanted them to go back to the hotel first.
Ling Qingxue nodded and said, "Okay! But don't forget your promise to have a big meal!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "Don't worry! Don't forget it! It will be implemented tonight! President Zhou, please let someone arrange it and choose the best place! I will pay for it!"
Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome..."
The four of them left the box together. Zhou Leiyun's assistant came over and took Ling Qingxue and Song Wei back to the hotel by car, while Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun walked down the steps of the stand together to the dressing room.
This time Xia Ruofei didn't deliberately cover up his appearance, and the fans all knew that he was in the VIP box, so along the way, fans next to him kept coming over to say hello to Xia Ruofei, so enthusiastic that Xia Ruofei felt that the muscles on his face were laughing Stiff, he walked down from the VIP box, and he walked for more than ten minutes for a short distance.
Zhou Leiyun also received warm greetings from many fans. He, the club chairman, also enjoyed a rare feeling of support from fans, and he was in a good mood.
When the two came to the locker room, the Spanish players had just returned from the game-the fans were so enthusiastic.
Ruby also went to the post-match press conference with a very happy mood. This time, the players he led were Wu Lei, who scored two goals and assisted three goals. Except for Xia Ruofei, Wu Lei was the most eye-catching performance in the audience.
Although Xia Ruofei only played half the game, he still won the best of the game without any suspense.
Marco Roca brought back the best trophy in a single game for him, and just saw Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun at the door of the locker room.
Marco Roca holds a game ball in one hand,
The other hand is holding the trophy. After seeing Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun, his face suddenly showed joy, and he walked over quickly, first said hello to Zhou Leiyun, and then said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, this is Your best player trophy, as well as this ball, was specially reserved for you by Wu, he went to the press conference and told me to hand it over to you!"
Xia Ruofei took two things with a smile and said, "Thank you Roca!"
Then he said to the players: "Everyone, go take a shower and change clothes first! The season has entered a critical closing stage, and you must not get sick at this time! In a while, President Zhou and I will have good news to announce to you. ."
The players agreed with a bang, and the file went into the locker room.
The two bosses, Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun, didn't have much air, so they sat in the locker room chatting while waiting for everyone to come out. The players all knew that the big boss was waiting outside, so they all took a shower as fast as possible, put on dry sports clothes, and walked out quickly.
And Wu Lei and Ruby happened to have attended the press conference and returned to the locker room together.
As soon as Ruby saw Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun, he quickly stepped up and came to say hello.
After politely saying hello to Zhou Leiyun, he turned to Xia Ruofei - mainly because Xia Ruofei can communicate with him directly in Spanish, and Xia Ruofei is not only the boss, but also a thigh-level player of the Spanish team. I feel that Xia Ruofei is closer.
"Mr. Xia, your performance today is completely phenomenal!" Ruby said excitedly, "At the press conference just now, most of the questions were about you!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "The Girona team is not very strong, and they have nothing to be proud of if they win!"
Ruby couldn't help showing an unnatural look-although the Espanyol team was not as bad as Girona this season, and had established a relegation advantage early on, but in terms of strength on paper, Espanyol and Girona are basically strengths It is a relatively close team. Xia Ruofei put Girona in the ranks of fish belly so lightly, which made Ruby feel as if he did not show his face.
Although after Xia Ruofei came off, the Espanyol relied on the regular main players and still used 45 minutes in the second half to score three goals in Girona. It seems that the gap between the two teams is relatively large, but this has to be seen separately. Without a five-goal lead in the first half, Espanyol's players would not have been able to play so relaxed, and Girona's players would have been even less likely to remain so fascinated, resulting in frequent mistakes in the back line. Under the trade-offs, it is normal to lose three goals.
Ruby thought for a while and decided not to discuss Girona's problem. He said sincerely: "Mr. Xia! Thank you very much for everything you have done for the team! The 6 points in these two games are valuable to the club. , maybe after the end of the season, if we go back and review the game, we will find that these six points will be the key to our entry into Europe! Especially against Barcelona, it was completely unplanned three points!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said: "If possible, I would even be willing to play for the team in the last three rounds, but I'm really sorry, I'm also very busy with domestic affairs, I'm afraid there are only three rounds left. It's up to you all!"
Ruby said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia! We will definitely go all out to win the European competition!"
Xia Ruofei has "overcompleted the task". He originally came to play a game against Barcelona for the team and was about to leave. Now he has played one more game and helped the team win an 8-0 victory. Not to mention three-pointers, but also added 8 goal difference to the team at once, five of which are directly related to him. For the club, if it is necessary to calculate the small points in the case of a tie at the end of the season, these 8 A goal difference may be decisive.
Xia Ruofei has helped the team through the most difficult game, successfully won Barcelona on the road, and then made Girona cry again, just like in the game, the most difficult level has been pushed away In addition, they also got rid of a small trash fish by the way. If they still can't deal with the remaining opponents and fail to hold the victory in the final stage, it will be really shameless to see Jiang Dong's elders.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said: "I heard that Sevilla is still behind. If this score remains until the end of the game, then we will be in the top seven, and we can basically guarantee the European competition. Then... In the remaining three games, as long as we make no mistakes, no one can take the fruits of victory away from us!"
Ruby nodded excitedly and said, "Yes! Our staff has been watching the game ahead. The score is still 1-0 on the field, and Sevilla is behind!"
Xia Ruofei said: "Then just turn on the TV, let's watch this game together! Don't worry about this matter all the time!"
The facilities in the home team's locker room are naturally very complete. As soon as Xia Ruofei's voice fell, a player ran over to turn on the TV, and quickly found the channel to broadcast the game.
When everyone looked at the live broadcast, it turned out that Sevilla was still trailing zero to one. At this time, the second half of the game had just started, so Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun simply watched the game with everyone.
Forty-five minutes of the game can be said to be fast, but for the Spaniard players, it is actually quite painful, especially now that Sevilla is behind, they can't wait for the time to pass and the score will never change.
Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun sat in the front center, Ruby sat next to Zhou Leiyun, Xia Ruofei called Wu Lei who came out of the shower to sit next to him, and the three of them chatted in Chinese in a low voice while watching the ball.
Sevilla's strength is still quite strong, especially in the case of a goal behind, the offensive is even more violent.
Throughout the second half, Sevilla's opponent, Mallorca, was in a turmoil in front of the goal, and there was almost no decent counterattack. The three lines were pressed close to each other, so the players of the Espanyol team were also frightened.
Fortunately, although Mallorca looked like they were going to concede the ball at any time, luck was always on their side. In the second half alone, Sevilla had two shots on the post, and one more time. The header looked about to go in, but was cleared by the Mallorca defender on the goal line.
This feeling of losing the ball at any time makes the Spanish players extremely nervous. They are even more nervous than the Mallorca fans, and they are even more nervous than when they were playing...
Time passed by, and Mallorca miraculously managed to keep the goal in the midst of the storm.
The Espanyol players really have a feeling that every second is like a year. Finally, the game entered the injury time period. The fourth official held up a sign. When everyone saw that the stoppage time was five minutes, they couldn't help but issue it. All kinds of curses.
Although these Espanyol players knew that cursing in front of the TV had no effect, they were still subconsciously rude. The broadcast footage also showed that Mallorca’s coach was also very dissatisfied with this stoppage time and kept asking the fourth official to protest.
In fact, from an objective point of view, Mallorca more or less adopted some "squatting tactics" in the second half. If there is a little physical contact, they will fall to the ground exaggeratedly, especially after 70 to 80 minutes. Someone fell to the ground with a "cramp", and the referee had to interrupt the game again and again.
When Xia Ruofei watched the ball, it was much easier than other Spaniards. The game just entered injury time, another Mallorca player fell to the ground clutching his thigh in pain, and the Sevilla player next to him also looked helpless-the two had no physical contact at all.
After the referee stopped the game, the Mallorca player signaled that he had a cramp. Many Sevilla players showed dissatisfaction, while the Mallorca players went over to give the player a serious look. Pressing the leg, the referee can only signal the team doctor to enter the field.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I watched the second half of the game, and the team doctor in Mallorca should be the most tired... I'm worried that their team doctor will run cramps..."
The Spaniard's players burst into laughter.
In fact, although the Espanyol team is not very strong, their professional ethics in the game are still good, and they rarely deliberately delay time in the game.
However, when watching this game, none of them expressed contempt for Mallorca, and even vaguely expected Mallorca to be more shameless, so that the time would be delayed a little longer.
Under the constant request of the referee and the protests of the Sevilla players, the team doctor helped the Mallorca player to walk out of the field. They wanted to go out from the touchline, but the referee stopped them in time. Get them off the field as close as possible.
After the Mallorca player left the pitch, he jumped in place and became alive again. He ran quickly to the touchline and raised his hand to the referee to signal that he was going to re-enter the game.
The referee probably didn't like Mallorca's behavior, so he turned a blind eye, but dropped the ball first and let Sevilla kick off first - the Sevilla players didn't foul just now, the game belongs to because The player was injured and stopped, so after the game resumed, the ball was still on Sevilla's side.
Sevilla immediately took the ball and attacked. The Mallorca player waited anxiously on the sidelines, his hands were sore. The referee finally looked back at him, and then waved to indicate that he could enter the field. .
In the end, the actual stoppage time of this game reached more than six minutes, which is also the referee's compensation for Sevilla for Mallorca's delay in stoppage time.
However, Sevilla did lack some luck in this game. The indiscriminate bombing in the final stage was still unable to penetrate Mallorca's goal. In the end, they could only pay for a low-level error in the first half, with a zero to one. Score drink hate away.
When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was a huge cheer in the dressing room of the El Prat Stadium, and the Spanish players hugged and celebrated each other, happier than their own team had won.
Xia Ruofei also hugged and celebrated with Wu Lei, Zhou Leiyun and Ruby. As soon as the results of this game came out, no matter what the results of other teams' games were, the Spaniards have already ensured that they will be ranked at least seventh after the end of this round.
In other words, half of the Spaniard's foot has already stepped into the European competition!
