Chinese champion

Chapter 131 The old man
Mallorca launched a counterattack immediately after withstood Atletico Madrid's last attack. After a few consecutive succinct passes, the ball was sent to the middle of the penalty area.

Pei Wei was running in the penalty area, perhaps due to the unfavorable attack and distracted energy, none of Atletico Madrid's defenders came up to stare at him.

Delgado ferried the header just right, the ball fell in front of him, and Pei Wei raised his body and shot a wonderful volley!

The ball passed the palm of the desperate Boggs like a cannonball, and flew into the goal, 3:2!Mallorca completed a shocking reversal at the last moment of the game!

After scoring the goal, Pei Wei ran to the coach's bench, but he didn't see the players and coaches flocking to him to celebrate, but saw the players on the bench shouting something eagerly around a person .

Pei Wei stopped in his tracks, and from the gaps in the crowd, he vaguely saw a person lying on top of another person, and from the clothes, it turned out to be the head coach Aragones!

coach……?
Pei Wei covered his mouth and looked at all this in disbelief. For a while, all the cases about the football coach's illness flashed in his mind one by one.

Houllier, the former coach of the England national team and Liverpool, was hospitalized due to a heart attack. Although he persisted for a while, he finally resigned sadly. When Milucci was coaching the Chinese team, he had a halftime break against Qatar in the top ten match When I fainted briefly in the toilet, a certain Bundesliga coach actually said to the reporter, "Before I hang myself, do you have any questions?" Such amazing words...

The job of football coach, on the surface, seems to have a lot of glory. A famous coach, standing on the sidelines in a personable manner, commanding decisively, waving Fang Chou, turning the tide, high income, big reputation... It looks so amazing wonderful!

In fact, high income means high risk. Soccer coaching can be said to be the most unstable profession in the world. There are probably no less than thousands of coaches who end up dismissing get out of class every year around the world. After all, in the field of football, "Famous coaches" are rare, and there is probably only one "tumbler" like Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United who has coached in a team for decades.

Other players on the field also noticed the abnormality, and all Mallorca players on the field ran over.

Manzano supported the unconscious old man and yelled loudly: "Scatter all of you! Too many people will hinder the air circulation!"

Mallorca's players hurriedly dispersed, and at this time the ambulance also drove into the field, and several medical staff rushed out of the ambulance and quickly carried the old man into the car.

Although the Mallorca players are worried about the coach's health, the game is not over yet, and the matter has not reached the point of no return.

Their emotions were inevitably affected. Fortunately, the game time is approaching, and the players of Atletico Madrid were also shocked by what happened just now. , The importance of the game is no longer that important.

The referee hastily blew the whistle for the end of the game, and he didn't even make up a second for the game, but no one had any objection to his approach.

After beating Atlético de Madrid and successfully knocking the most direct competitor away by five points, none of Mallorca's players was in the mood to celebrate, and they rushed to Madrid as soon as the game ended Aragones, the largest hospital in the area, was sent to this hospital for treatment.

A group of big men covered in sweat and mud filled the hospital hall. They didn't know where the old man was looking around, but they frightened the nurses in the hall. Nurses with weak hearts were already ready to call. The police are gone.

The tall and handsome Ballesteros can be said to be the most handsome in the Mallorca team. Since he was a substitute in this game and did not play, his body is still very clean. He showed a charming look to the nurse With a smile: "Excuse me, beautiful lady, where is the old man who was sent just now?"

It seems that Ballesteros' lethality is quite strong, the nurse has been dazed by him, and subconsciously replied: "Send it to the emergency room on the third floor..."

Ballesteros stepped up the power delivery again: "Thank you very much, you are the most beautiful and kind woman I have ever met... May I have the honor to invite you to dinner later... Ugh!"

When the team members heard that Aragones was on the third floor, they rushed up the stairs. Delgado, the last one who passed by, saw that Ballesteros was still there showing courtesies, and he strangled him impatiently. Grab his neck, hold back his last words, and drag him up the stairs.

Although Ballesteros is tall and big, Delgado is about the same height as him, but his physique is much better. I am afraid that he is the only one in the Mallorca team who can drag Ballesteros away. Lesteros reluctantly gave up his resistance, and before being dragged up the stairs, he still didn't forget to cast the last electric eye on the nurse who had just regained consciousness...

"Crack!" The nurse finally couldn't hold on under Ballesteros' final blow, and fainted...

A group of people rushed up to the third floor, just in time to see two assistant coaches, Manzano and Ferrando, walking around anxiously outside the emergency room. Nadal asked, "Coach, the head coach...is he all right?" .”

Ferrando "shushed": "Keep your voice down, the doctor is treating the coach, but the doctor's expression should be fine."

Nino said worriedly, "How did this happen? Why did the coach faint for no reason? He is usually in good health."

"Alas." Manzano sighed: "Coach, he had a cold a few days ago. There was nothing wrong with it. He could just rest in the hospital for a few days, but the match against Atletico Madrid is about to start, and you all know that , this game is very important, so the coach didn't go to the hospital, originally planned to rest for a few days after the game, but..."

"Damn it!" Eto'o said, "It's all our fault. If we played well at the beginning of this game, the coach would not be nervous and worried, and naturally it wouldn't be..."

Ferrando patted Eto'o on the shoulder: "You performed very well, don't feel guilty about it, besides, didn't you win the game? I think the coach will be very happy when he wakes up and knows that he won the game."

Ferrando is the oldest member of the Mallorca club. He has served in Mallorca for nearly 20 years and has great prestige among the players. It is only because of his lack of ability to command on the spot that he has always been a member. Assistant coach, but his affinity among the players is very high. It is because of him that Aragones can concentrate on studying tactics and opponents. Among them, he is a very important figure.

After half an hour, the door of the emergency room opened.

Ferrando hurriedly greeted the doctor who came out first, and asked eagerly, "Doctor, coach him...how is it?"

The doctor glanced at him: "No problem, he just developed pneumonia due to excessive fatigue for several days, coupled with the wind and cold not being effectively controlled, and also had a very nervous mood swing that led to a coma, and now he is fine. Come on, I gave him a sedative to let him rest, but his body is very weak now, he needs to rest in bed for at least a month, if he really wants to get better, he may have to rest for half a year!"

The doctor left, Ferrando discussed with Manzano, and said to the players: "You go back to the hotel first, there are two of us here, just look at you, you haven't even washed in the shower, and your clothes are all dirty. Weak, what should we do if we catch a cold? Go back first, and we will come to see the coach tomorrow when he wakes up!"

***************************
"Half a year? What about the team?" When Alemani, the chairman of Mallorca, heard that Aragones was going to rest for half a year, his first reaction was this.

"This is not okay, I will go to Madrid now and ask his opinion!" This was his second reaction.

On the way to Madrid, Alemani's mood can be described as "anxious". Indeed, there are still [-] rounds left in the league, including the UEFA Cup. It's very important. If they can't qualify for the Champions League this year, the investment before this season will be in vain again, and there will inevitably be a financial deficit. It can be said to be a devastating blow.

The prospect of the team was very good, and now it is ranked third. Alemani was already fantasizing about the huge benefits brought by reaching the Champions League next season, but the sudden illness of Aragones made him Alemani was caught off guard. Now that the league is coming to an end, where can I find a head coach temporarily?Now there are quite a few coaches who are idle at home, but most of them are coaches who were fired in this year's league. If they are really capable, how can they be fired? Can you bring the team to the track as soon as you come?

All the way, Alemani felt as if his body was on fire without a single moment of peace. Finally, when the car arrived, he rushed into the hospital and rushed up to the sixth floor at a speed that was completely inappropriate for his age and stature. .

The old man had just woken up from his nap, and Alemani was embarrassed to find that he came empty-handed after rushing into the ward, which was really rude to the patient.

"Uh...coach, are you feeling better?"

Alemani walked into the ward with a face full of embarrassment. Aragones smiled tolerantly, and slightly bowed: "Please sit down, Mr. Chairman, I am much better now."

After being silent for a while, Alemani finally spoke: "Coach, this... I'm here today... because I want to..."

Aragones waved his hand: "Mr. Chairman, I probably guessed a little bit about your purpose, but can you give me a little time? I think my body is no longer allowed to continue as the head coach of Mallorca." , As for leading the team, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

Alemani's face was full of disappointment. He originally wanted to ask Aragones if it was possible to continue to lead the team, but judging from the current situation, the old coach's body really did not allow him to lead the team anymore. He opened his mouth and wanted to continue to say something, but Aragones had already closed his eyes, so he could only say: "Take a rest slowly, I will wait for your good news tomorrow."

When Alemani tiptoed out of the ward, Aragones opened his eyes. He thought about it, then took out his cell phone from under the pillow and dialed a number.

"Gregorio (Manzano's name)? Where are you now? Ferrando will lead the training with you? Can you come to me with him tonight? I have something to talk to You guys talk. Okay, see you tonight."

"See you tonight." Manzano closed the phone and thought for a while.

*********************************
Aragones looked out of the window. The Mallorca Club is still very humane. The ward arranged for him is one of the best wards in this hospital. Looking out of the window, you can see the charming city of Madrid. night view.

Before I knew it, I had been a coach for more than 20 years, right?After retiring, I studied at the Cologne Sports Academy for five years, and then started my coaching career. After coaching several small and medium teams from the beginning, I gradually became a famous coach in Spain. Among many teams in Spain They all left their own footprints, and their iron-fisted army and thunderous methods also won themselves the reputation of "iron-blooded coach".

Fast-forward 20 years have passed like this, and I have always only had football in my heart, constantly going from one team to another, training, arranging tactics, thinking about transfers, and I can't tolerate anything else.

After being ill this time, I was able to calm down and think about other things, such as how beautiful the night scene is. I have not been to Madrid once or twice, so why didn’t I find such a wonderful thing?
I have played football for so many years, and I have definitely earned enough money. Although I have gained a lot of fun in football, have I lost more?
There is also my wife who has been with me for almost 40 years and has always been tolerant...I am really an irresponsible husband. The children have grown up and have their own careers. My wife stays at home alone all day Must be very lonely, right?I can't always be by her side...

The old handsome thought a lot, a lot...

Until the knock on the door woke him from his contemplation, he knew it must be Manzano and Ferrando.

Let me explain the last thing. After this matter is over, dear Lisa, let me accompany you in the past six months.
