Chapter 27: The
"You can't say that," Li Tongfan suddenly stood up, came to Grede, looked into his eyes, and said with a rare serious expression: "Old Ge, there is something I have to tell you seriously!"
"Ah? What?"
"We can't retreat just because the opponent is too strong. You have to know that we are Real Madrid, the most successful club in the 20th century. We have stood at the top of Europe countless times. Defeating ordinary opponents cannot show our glory. Only by crushing strong teams like Chelsea and Barcelona can we create our own legend!"
Li Tongfan patted Grede on the shoulder: "So, Old Ge, I have to thank you. It's you who gave me the opportunity to prove myself. Listen to what those bitch reporters outside say. I will use one victory after another to slap those people hard. "I slapped those bastards hard in the mouth... until they saw me from afar and were too ashamed to even raise their heads..."
Grede stared blankly at the high-spirited Li Tongfan, and suddenly found that the young man in front of him exuded a different kind of magic. Thinking about his various actions after coming to the club, maybe the fat businessmen on the club's board who knew nothing about football really made a wise decision this time...
==================Division=====================
On August 27, 2006, the hot Spanish La Liga 06-07 season was about to begin. Real Madrid's first game had to go to Palma in Mallorca to challenge the mid-level La Liga team Mallorca!
The team took a bus to Mallorca one day in advance and stayed at the four-star hotel "Blue Jam" near the San Moise Stadium, the venue of the game.
After a long journey, the players returned to their rooms to rest as requested by Lee Tong-fan after getting off the bus. Assistant coach Grede studied tactics with Lee Tong-fan and made final preparations for tomorrow's game!
The opponent Mallorca team was founded on March 5, 1916. Since then, it has been struggling in the lower reaches of the league and has been relegated to Group B many times. The best result in the club's history was the runner-up of the last European Cup Winners' Cup in the 1998-99 season.
However, the current head coach Gregorio-Manzano is a famous old fox in La Liga. He is good at using people and can often bring the team's limited capabilities to the extreme. Mallorca's characteristics are extremely balanced offense and defense, and stable performance. Therefore, although there are no big-name stars in the team, they must not be underestimated!
After carefully studying the opponent, assistant coach Grede suggested that Lee Tong-fan adopt a more stable tactic to play this game. After all, it is an away game and the first game of the season. Facing huge pressure from the media and fans, there is no room for error, so winning is the first goal, and you can't care too much about whether the scene looks good!
In Grede's opinion, a victory can at least temporarily shut up the media!
"You are wrong, Old Ge," Li Tongfan waved his hand proudly and resolutely rejected Grede's proposal: "This game must not only win, but also a big win. Facing a team like Mallorca, if we can't score more than three goals against them, those bitch media will definitely make up all kinds of reasons to spit! I can't give them a chance! Besides, if we rashly change the tactics, then the 4-1-2-1-2 formation that we have been practicing for more than half a month will be in vain?"
Grede was silent. Indeed, the current public opinion environment is not only unfavorable to Real Madrid, but also terrible...
Previously, major European gambling companies have opened the La Liga championship odds Barcelona ranked first with odds of 7-4, followed by Valencia (14-1) in second place, Sevilla (16-1) in third place, Villarreal (25-1) in fourth place... and Real Madrid, the runner-up of last season, which spent nearly 80 million pounds to recruit players, surprisingly ranked fifth with odds of 33-1...
Everyone knows the reason why many bookmakers offer such odds - the board of directors of Real Madrid collectively had a brain cramp and actually selected a rookie who had never had any coaching experience from the football desert of China as the team's head coach!
This is a shame! An absolute shame!
After shamelessly secretly and anonymously betting half of his salary on Real Madrid to win the championship, Li Tongfan published a long commentary in his column "Dictatorship and Various Dissatisfaction" in Marca like a madman, cursing the heavens and the earth, swearing that he would lead Real Madrid to win all the championships that can be won this season. If he fails, he will jump into the Mediterranean and swim back to China...
Win the championship he wants?
The world football world was in an uproar. Even the madman Mourinho dared not be so arrogant. Who do you think you are? The illegitimate son of God? Even if he is, God is not omnipotent on the football field!
Li Tongfan was honored to get his first nickname in the coaching industry - Madman!
The famous Austrian sports betting company Bwin whimsically set a new odds - How long will the glutton Li drift in the ocean?
At the same time, in the survey conducted by the Spanish Football Association on "Who will be the first head coach to be fired this season", Li Tongfan also topped the list with an absolute advantage of 88%, far ahead of others...
...
All these things reveal the pessimistic view of the public opinion on the new season of Real Madrid, so assistant coach Grede is afraid that the man in front of him will collapse because of the pressure!
But since Li Tongfan is so confident, let's play against each other! In terms of the strength of both sides, it should not be a problem for Real Madrid to win!
…
August 27, 2006, at about 5:40 pm local time in Mallorca!
The opening game of this season's La Liga - Real Madrid's away challenge to Mallorca is about to begin, and the players of both sides have begun to warm up on the field.
The San Moise Stadium, which can accommodate 23,145 people, was packed. Mallorca's fanatical fans finally got the chance to release the male hormones they had accumulated for a summer. The ferocious expressions on their young faces were like lions whose mates had been taken away. Their hysterical shouts brought everyone into a harsh and noisy world. When Real Madrid players were warming up, every time they touched the ball, there would be overwhelming boos from the stands...
"Kill Madrid!"
"Go back to Calderon's mother's arms and feed!"
The stands were full of insulting slogans from Mallorca fans. One of them was particularly eye-catching. It was a huge portrait with a length and width of more than ten meters. It was unfolded on the stands. In the portrait, a Chinese man in a robe and a big braid was lying on the ground humbly, and standing opposite him was a European wearing a military uniform from the Eight-Nation Alliance period of the last century!
