Chinese champion

Chapter 140 Two Surprises
In the game against Barcelona, ​​Manzano did not let the players go all out. Pei Wei sat on the bench for 10 minutes, and Eto'o only played halftime. If he is too enthusiastic, Manzano is even ready to give up this game. It is only because of face that Manzano sent most of the main force, but it is Manzano who can win the opponent at Camp Nou. unexpected.

This result made Manzano even more happy. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only retained the hope of winning the championship, but also did not make the players too tired.

Three days later it will be the final of the UEFA Cup. Mallorca is bound to win the UEFA Cup this time. The team's last viable force in the Champions League, Real Madrid, was knocked out of the final by Serie A giants Juventus on May 5, and Mallorca also became the last Spanish team that may win the European championship this season. Team.

What makes Manzano happy is that the venue for the UEFA Cup final is the Olympic Stadium, home of Sevilla in La Liga. As the last spark of the Spanish team in Europe, Mallorca is bound to be loved by all Spanish fans. Attention, here will undoubtedly become Mallorca's home court.

After the match against Barcelona, ​​the whole Mallorca team immediately flew to Seville on a special plane booked by the Spanish Football Association. This kind of treatment was the first time in the history of Mallorca.

Although it is at the right time and place, Manzano knows that the more such a game is, the harder it is to play.

Competing in front of the folks, of course, will be of great benefit in improving morale, but at the same time, the pressure will also be doubled. Manzano, who is a master of psychology, knows this well.

The final opponent, Porto, is definitely not an easy opponent. This team with a European championship trophy is one of the old European teams. Although it has declined in recent years, its strength is still not something that Mallorca can underestimate.

Therefore, he announced on the day he came to Seville that the whole team would be disbanded and take a day off. They would not gather until the morning of the 20th for a day of joint training and wait for the game on the 21st.

Therefore, the reporters who flocked here found a strange scene. The current Mallorca war did not show a tense atmosphere. On the streets of Seville, Mallorca players in twos and threes can be seen wandering everywhere.

The reporters have doubts in their hearts, doesn't Mallorca want the UEFA Cup champion?

What Manzano wants is this effect. His move is just to let the players relieve their nervousness and welcome the most important game of the season with a high but not anxious mood.

*************************************
"Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing!" Zhu Jun flattered He Jin beside him: "It reminds me of the World Youth Championship finals the year before last, coach, you did the same!"

He Jin, who came from China overnight, smiled slightly: "It's been a while since I saw your flattering skills have improved a lot." After finishing speaking, he ignored the embarrassed Zhu Jun, turned to Pei Wei on the other side and said, "But I thought You'll only be seen after the game."

Pei Wei smiled: "Yeah, I was also taken aback when Coach Manzano announced the news, but... good coaches are indeed the same in many ways!"

You know, when Zhu Jun knew that Mallorca had entered the UEFA Cup final, and the final venue was the Olympic Stadium, his team's home stadium, he was very happy. Contacted He Jin, Zhao Lin, Zhong Yan, Yao Le and five other people in Europe, and strongly invited them to watch the game in Seville in the next few days. Li Min was the first to arrive , because the Premier League ended on the 15th of this month, and several other people did not have any game tasks during this period, and they rushed to Seville one after another. Zhong Yan and the others couldn't come, only He Jin arrived alone. Pei Wei and Zhu Jun had just picked up He Jin from the airport, and were about to meet up at the hotel where Hu Yong and the others were staying.

When He Jin heard what Pei Wei said, he couldn't help laughing again: "I didn't expect that, Pei Wei, you also learned to speak like this." Then he said with emotion: "Actually, what touched me the most was the attitude of your club. They didn't have any doubts about your coach's approach."

"There is no doubt about employing people." Pei Wei said: "This is the case in foreign clubs. Even the chairman of the team rarely asks about the specific affairs of the team. Everything is left to the coach to do, which also allows the coach There are a lot less constraints."

"Yeah, this is what I felt the most when I was in Europe. It's a pity that, 'Employing people is not suspicious, doubting people is not'. This is an ancient Chinese motto, but now Europe is much better than we do. times!" He thought of Yan Wenqiang's strongly worded letters on the eve of the World Youth Championship.

Both Zhu Jun and Pei Wei were silent. They knew this matter well. They didn't want to admit that the Europeans were much more advanced than the Chinese in this respect, but the reality was that they couldn't argue.

The three walked in silence for a while, and Pei Wei suddenly saw a person on the opposite street, and he immediately called out in Spanish: "Coach!"

Both He Jin and Zhu Jun understood what his name was, and Zhu Jun had been in Spain for almost two years, not to mention that he was born smart and could already speak Spanish very well (Guo Nu: "Tch, he just It’s just because it’s convenient to meet Spanish girls like this!” Zhu Jun: “Boss, don’t tell me! You have revealed all my little secrets, which violates my right to privacy!”), while He Jin was at the Cologne Sports School in Germany They also traveled in Spain for a period of time after advanced studies, and they knew Spanish very well, so they all raised their heads and followed Pei Wei's gaze.

Manzano was wandering the street. He always believed that before the game, not only the players but also the coach should relax, so as to have a clear mind and sharp response ability when directing the game, and temporarily avoid Breaking out of football also helps to get back into it with more energy, which is why he hangs out in the streets.

At this moment, he heard Pei Wei's cry.

Manzano looked up and saw three Chinese people standing opposite him. One of them was of course Pei Wei, the most important player under his command. He also knew another young man, Zhu Jun from Seville, a He is an excellent winger, and he is good friends with Pei Wei. It is not surprising that Pei Wei is with him in Seville, but why does that middle-aged man look familiar to him?

Manzano walked over while thinking, Pei Wei introduced: "This is Mr. Manzano, my coach in Mallorca, Mr. Manzano, this is my good friend Zhu Jun, I believe you I also know each other, and this one is my first coach, He Jin, and also my coach of the Chinese Olympic team."

He Jin stretched out his hand: "Hello."

Manzano held He Jin's hand: "Hello, hello, why do you think you look familiar? It turns out that you are the gold medal coach of the last World Youth Championship. You have known your name for a long time!"

He Jin was a little embarrassed by what he said, and said politely: "Where, Mr. Manzano has taken over the coaching seat for less than half a year, and Mallorca's strength has improved to a higher level, especially against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. The command and employment of several games in Madrid is really wonderful, but He needs to learn a lot from Mr.

Manzano laughed loudly: "Mr. Aragones has laid such a good foundation for me, and Ferrando has helped me train players. If I can't get good results, then I am too incompetent. It's not like Coach He led a Chinese youth team that can only be regarded as first-class and inferior to win the World Youth Championship where there are so many strong players. How about the coach!"

"I said it's because the heroes see the same thing!" Zhu Jun immediately became complacent.

Pei Wei tapped his head once: "Listen to you, don't interrupt!"

Manzano and He Jin looked at each other and smiled. Pei Wei asked, "Mr. Manzano, where are you going now? We are going back to the hotel. Are you going back with us?"

Manzano thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I've been out for almost half an hour, and it's time to go back."

The three people who walked back turned into four people. He Jin and Manzano have been chatting all the time. Maybe it’s because they are both coaches. Two people with different personalities, backgrounds and experiences have hit it off. , When they arrived at the door of the hotel where they were staying, the two of them were as familiar as a pair of old friends for many years.

So that after entering the hotel, He Jin said to Pei Wei and Zhu Jun: "You guys go up first, I want to chat with Gregorio for a while." After just a while, he had already started to call Manzano directly. name.

Pei Wei and Zhu Jun could only watch helplessly as He Jin and Manzano came to the coffee room in the lobby. Zhu Jun murmured, "Isn't it? They became friends so soon? Could it be that the two of them were relatives in the previous life?" brother?"

"Let's be sympathetic to each other, I hope the coach won't talk so much that he even forgets the preparations for the game!"

The two got on the elevator while talking. Pei Wei asked Zhu Jun, "Are they all on the sixth floor? I haven't seen you for almost a year. I really miss them."

Zhu Jun smiled mysteriously: "It's not just them, after you go up there, there will be two big surprises!"

"Surprise?" Pei Wei was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, but remembering the strange smile on his face when Zhu Jun came to ask him to pick up He Jin, he knew in his heart that Zhu Jun must have prepared something, so he pretended to be indifferent Look, asked back: "Really?"

"Still—really?" Zhu Jun snorted: "Pretend, keep pretending, thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, and tell you, if you can keep like this after seeing those two surprises later My surname is not Zhu!"

"If I can't keep it up, I'll invite you to dinner!" Pei Wei also turned back tit-for-tat, but even though Pei Wei said this, he was still a little curious, what exactly did Zhu Jun prepare?
"Haha!" Zhu Jun laughed: "You said it, let me tell you, you have ordered dinner! However, I guarantee that you will not only invite me willingly, but also happily!"

"I'm cheap!" Pei Wei admired Zhu Jun's eloquence more and more. With just a few words, his appetite was raised high. It seems that this is really two big surprises!

The two arrived at the door of the private room. If you want to talk about Zhu Jun's loyalty, there is nothing to say. The room he booked is the most luxurious presidential suite in this hotel. The hall alone is nearly [-] square meters. There are four small suites, and the supporting facilities inside are also first-class, enough for the people living here to enjoy the best service.

Just as Pei Wei and Zhu Jun walked into the hall, they saw six or seven people in the hall. Except for Hu Yong, Zhang Qi, Li Min, Du Wei and Wu Qi, the one who was chatting happily with them was not Ma Keer. Who is it again?

Pei Wei immediately lost his composure. He walked up to Ma Ke'er quickly, and stammered, "Ma Ke'er, why are you here?"

Ma Ke'er felt sweet in his heart, Pei Wei's attitude just showed his position in his heart, he smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I'm here to cheer you on, welcome?"

Pei Wei was immediately dazzled by Marco's astonishing smile, and said dizzily, "Welcome, of course you are welcome!"

There was booing and whistles all around, and the few guys who were afraid of chaos in the world immediately said to you and me: "You really value sex over friends. When some old friends come, they don't even say hello first, they just know how to make friends with them." Kerr speak."

"You know what, they call Xiao Bie Sheng newly married! This child Pei Wei has grown up too, this reaction is normal!"

Pei Wei was immediately blushed by them, and at the same time, he felt uncomfortable. What does this have to do with it? What is the relationship between him and Marco?It's not a lover, what should I do if the other girl gets angry if this kind of joke is made?
While responding to the words of several bad friends, Pei Wei peeked at Marco'er's face, and didn't feel relieved until he saw that Marco'er's face was normal and didn't look unhappy at all.

"Okay, you win!" Pei Wei spread his hands to Zhu Jun: "Dinner is mine!"

"Hey! It's still early!" Zhu Jun smiled mysteriously again: "There's a second surprise, now I want you to be willing to pay for tomorrow's expenses by yourself!"

Before Pei Wei could react, a familiar voice came from a suite in the hall: "Is it Wei Wei?"

If Pei Wei was struck by lightning, he was stunned for a moment, and the others also stopped talking and looked at him with smiles.

Pei Wei turned around, and two figures appeared in front of him. The one in front with an eager face was his mother walking quickly, and the one behind was walking steadily, but his face was filled with unspeakable excitement. Who is it if it is not his father?

The mother walked up to Pei Wei, looked up at her tall son, and touched Pei Wei's face with trembling hands: "Son, you've lost weight..."

"Mom!" Pei Wei yelled out, and hugged his mother, tears welling up in his eyes!

Although the father behind him didn't lose his composure, his slightly trembling body betrayed his inner thoughts.

I left China at the age of 15. I haven’t been home for more than three years since I left. Although I stayed at home for a while more than two years ago, I haven’t had the chance to go home after I signed a contract with Mallorca. Parents, "Parents are here, don't travel far", but I am good, I always don't go back because of various things, what kind of son am I!
How many times have I thought of my parents when I dreamed back at midnight, and I always cried silently alone. Although life abroad is fulfilling, the feeling of missing my loved ones is even more unforgettable!If it weren't for the love of football to support me, I might have given up my future football future and went home to serve my parents under the knees of the elders!
My mother is old, and my father is also old. At first, my mother's head was covered with black hair, and she didn't look like a 50-year-old person at all. It is already a little bent, and the eyes are not as piercing as before...

Father and mother got married late, and they only had a child like themselves when they were almost thirty, and he was the only child in the family, and he couldn't always be by their side. Lonely parents would inevitably grow old quickly.

Now Pei Wei is really willing to invite Zhu Jun and the others to have dinner. You know, the surprise of seeing his parents is much greater than meeting Marco. As soon as Marco is in Europe, although the chances of the two meeting are not Many, but there are often, and secondly, parents are parents, and the relationship between blood is thicker than water will never fade away.

After a while, Pei Wei gradually calmed down. He wiped away his tears and said to the others embarrassedly: "I made you laugh, I'm so excited..."

Everyone nodded in understanding, they were all young and wandering outside, their homesickness is no weaker than Pei Wei, if any one of them is changed, they will not be calmer than Pei Wei in this situation, Unless he's a cold-blooded guy.

Ma Ke'er secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, Pei Wei almost completely forgot her after seeing his parents, but she was not angry at all, because she also had such an experience.

"Okay, okay!" Hu Yong came out to smooth things over: "It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm hungry, let's go down to eat!"

Hu Yong's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and Wu Qi yelled loudly: "We are going to kill Pei Wei today!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and unconsciously, the slightly dull atmosphere became much more lively.

Before going out, Pei Wei hugged Zhu Jun tightly: "My good brother, thank you."
