Chinese champion

Chapter 132
The door was pushed open, and Manzano and Ferrando walked in one after another. Aragones smiled and said, "You two, sit down."

The two each dragged a stool and sat down. Aragones secretly looked at the expressions of the two, and saw that Manzano was in high spirits, full of confidence in every move, while Ferrando had a calm face, showing no surprise look.

Aragones nodded secretly. Manzano is competent, intelligent, has superb commanding skills and assesses the situation on the field. What is even more rare is his innate self-confidence. His self-confidence is easy Infecting the players and guaranteeing the confidence of the players, but Ferrando wins with the word "steady", never flustered, he is the least shaken at any time, and has an unparalleled affinity, all The players trust him very much. With him, there will be no conflicts in Mallorca's locker room.

Mallorca, whose player level is not very outstanding, can have the current results. The two of them have contributed a lot. They are the most solid left shoulders and right shoulders of Aragones.

If Mallorca's coaching staff is described as a fighter, then Aragones is the brain and the command center, and Manzano is the sword held tightly in the right hand of the fighter, who is invincible and invincible. It is the strong shield held in the left hand of the warrior, which bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the warrior.

While knowing the strengths of the two of them, Aragones is also very aware of the shortcomings of the two of them. The shortcomings and advantages of the two of them are also very distinct.

Manzano is indeed good at directing the game and seeing people, but he is not good at communicating with people. At the same time, his confident side of character also makes him often ignore other people's opinions. Unknowingly hurting other people, to put it bluntly, he is a bit self-willed, and a large part of his fate of getting out of class at Racing Santander is related to his character.

Ferlando, on the other hand, is more than calm and lacks flexibility. Although he has his unique features in training, he is very rigid in on-the-spot commanding, which is also related to the fact that he has not specialized in on-the-spot commanding.

"I think, you already know the purpose of my calling you here today?" Aragones didn't play tricks, but asked straightforwardly.

Manzano replied: "Yes." Ferrando nodded.

"You all know the current situation. It is impossible for me to lead the team for a while, and I am also very tired. I want to rest for a while. During this period, what do you think about the selection of the head coach?"

Manzano and Ferrando glanced at each other, Ferrando smiled slightly, and made a "please" gesture with his hand.

Manzano is also not polite: "I think it is very unrealistic to hire another coach now. Now is the most critical time in the league. The team must not relax, not to mention whether it can hire a good coach." Coach, the current situation alone does not allow a coach who is not familiar with the team to manage the team, because no matter how famous or capable a coach is, he needs a coach who works with the players and is familiar with the players' technical and tactical characteristics. Time, we don't have this time now, and we can't have it, so my proposal is to tap the potential from within."

Aragones nodded and turned to Ferrando: "Luis, what about you?"

Ferlando nodded in agreement: "I completely agree with Gregorio's statement."

"The two of you have always been my most important assistants. Do you want to tap the potential from within..." Aragones asked unexpectedly: "If you choose one of the two of you to take my place, who do you think will be chosen?" OK?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The words of Aragones stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the two of them, just like a stone dropped into the lake, although it disappeared immediately, but the ripples on the lake will not stop for a while.

Manzano has always been very conceited. If he had been replaced by the man half a year ago, he would have stood up and offered himself without hesitation. However, after the severe blow of his dismissal at Racing Santander, his sharpness has become restrained, and he began to carefully Consider Aragones' intentions.

Ferrando's thinking is much simpler than his. He is a very self-aware person. He knows his lack of on-the-spot command ability. I opened my mouth.

"I think Gregorio is a very suitable candidate. He has the experience of coaching in Santander, and his command ability has been verified some time ago. At this stage, Gregorio It is the best choice to succeed you."

Aragones nodded noncommittally, then turned to Manzano and asked, "Louis thinks you are suitable, what do you think?"

In fact, after Aragones’ question came out, Manzano had been thinking in his heart. He is a smart man, and at the same time he suffered a disadvantage in a handsome position. Such an experience is indeed a fortune for him. Smart people will consider the overall interests, especially smart people who have suffered a lot.

In Mallorca's coaching staff, there are two assistant coaches in addition to the three on the spot, but those two are not very outstanding talents, and their role in the Mallorca club is basically to collect opponents Although they are more than competent for this kind of work, they are not the material to be the head coach.Aragones is not so old and confused as to hand over the position of head coach to them.

Then the choice of the coach can only be between himself and Ferrando. Ferrando is an old courtier of Mallorca. He has always been loyal to the club and has a high popularity in the club. He also has a high status in his mind, but what he is good at is training players. Commanding operations is his weakness, and commanding games is very important for a head coach. Without this ability, it is impossible to become an excellent head coach. Shuai must also be aware of this, so the only one left is himself.

But I have been in Mallorca for less than three months, and my qualifications are the lowest. Since I have been making suggestions behind the scenes, the players are not familiar with me enough. As for the board of directors, most of the directors probably don’t know at all. Do you have yourself?

People are ambitious. It is impossible to say that Manzano has no idea about the position of head coach. If he really has no ambition for the coaching position of Mallorca, he will not accept Ala at all. Gunnes asked him to be an assistant coach, but his original idea was to be an assistant coach in Mallorca for a period of time before taking over when Aragones left Mallorca, but now Aragones Si's sudden illness caught him off guard.

It's not that he doesn't want to be the head coach of Mallorca, but in the current situation, even if he becomes the head coach, these players will be beyond his control for a while, and there will be no such players without a period of familiarity. With a sense of ease, Mallorca's goal this year is very realistic, that is to enter the Champions League next season and get huge benefits from participating in the Champions League to make up for the financial deficit. This task is very difficult. Any There is no room for loss in a game, which also cuts off the possibility of taking your time.

Thinking of this, Manzano couldn't help lamenting in his heart, what a fate he really has, this position is really a hot potato, he wants to take it, but I'm afraid he can't bear the consequences.

Thinking of this, Manzano made up his mind, and he raised his head: "I don't think it's suitable for me to sit in this position. First, I'm new here. I have neither connections nor prestige. Even the players don't know me very well. Second, , Among the members of the coaching staff, my qualifications are the most junior, I am afraid that I cannot convince the players and other club staff, thirdly, and most importantly, I do not have all the abilities that a head coach can have."

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Aragones' mouth. This is why he called the two at the same time today. Manzano already possesses all the necessary qualities of an excellent head coach. It is a good choice for him to replace him, but his biggest problem is that he is not familiar with the players and other staff. If he is rashly appointed as the head coach, Mallorca's Champions League dream this season may become slim. stand up.

He has a solution, which is to ask Ferlando, a veteran who has worked in the club for more than ten years, to assist him, and it is not just assistance. Basically, Ferrando has to share half of the work of a head coach. Come.

However, this method cannot be used rashly, because once this method is implemented, it is actually equivalent to dividing Manzano’s power in half. No head coach will allow himself to have no absolute authority in the club. If Manzano If Nuo didn't figure this out, it would be easy to create a gap between the two coaches. Such a result would undoubtedly be disastrous for Mallorca.

Now that Manzano has personally stated the crux of his own as a head coach, it shows that he has understood his limitations, and it is time for him to express the solution.

"Very well, Gregorio, I'm glad you see that, and now I have an idea to tell you."

……

After a long time, Manzano's happy laughter came from the ward: "Coach, you are really amazing! You are cunning, really cunning!"

"Boy, you are still young!" Aragones's laughter was also very happy: "Let's learn!"

**************************************************
The next day, Aragones talked with Chairman Alemani in the ward for an afternoon. Of course, the content of the conversation is unknown to others, but the Mallorca Club held a meeting on the second day after the conversation. press conference.

"In view of the fact that Mr. Aragones, the head coach of the Mallorca club, has an abnormal condition, he can no longer continue to work in the position of coach. In order to let the old coach rest at ease, the club has accepted Aragones. Mr. Aragones' resignation letter, I hope Mr. Aragones can recover soon and return to us all."

The reporter who was present at the beginning of the statement of the press release officer almost guessed it. After all, they all make a living in the football circle. Since the day Aragones fell ill, the reporters have known that the old coach can no longer persist. They There is only one purpose for coming to this press conference today, and that is to know who the new coach of Mallorca is.

"The departure of Mr. Aragones is a very big loss for the Mallorca club. We have lost a good coach and the players have lost a good teacher..."

The reporters were all cursing nonsense in the audience, who didn't know it was a loss?At least Mallorca now has two head coaches, which is a lot of expenses. It doesn't matter to big clubs, but for a small club like Mallorca, the economic loss is still huge.

Finally, after the press release officer talked endlessly for nearly half an hour, the reporters finally got the news they wanted to know.

"In view of the current situation of the team, there is no lack of a head coach, and now suddenly there is no suitable candidate. After the recommendation of Mr. Aragones, the board of directors and the coaching staff decided that the former assistant coach of the Mallorca club Gregorio Mr. Manzano and Mr. Luis Ferrando will jointly coach the Mallorca Club until the end of this season. We believe that under the leadership of these two coaches, we will definitely complete our goals for this season. We also believe that , Mallorca has a very good future."

what?
All the Mallorca fans couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the news that was embellished in different languages ​​in various newspapers, but the meaning was exactly the same.

Regardless of the difference in the modified words, their meaning is the same.

In the next few days, Mallorca will be coached by two coaches!

The news immediately spread throughout Spanish football, and the scope of the spread is spreading to European football.

Contrary to what everyone imagined at the beginning, Mallorca, a club with a weak economy, actually wants to support three head coaches for the rest of the season!

And - double coaches, two head coaches co-coach a team is not unprecedented in the history of world football, at least in the 2002 World Cup held not long ago, the Swedish national team was co-coached by two coaches.

But the situation is different. After all, it is just the national team. Anyone who is knowledgeable knows that being the head coach of the national team and being the head coach of the club team are two completely different concepts. Do more!
Among other things, in the history of the Spanish First Division, there has never been a situation where two coaches coach a team!This can be regarded as a precedent for La Liga.

There are so many news about Mallorca this year. First, the action before the start of the season, the three rounds of invincibility at the beginning of the season, the seven-game winning streak and the title of "Crazy Mallorca", and now, there is another double Message from the coach.

For Mallorca's move, there are praisers and detractors, and more people are waiting and watching. What will Mallorca's next results be?
