Chapter 2 Chapter Two: To Granada
When Kabinet was on the flight from Eindhoven to Madrid, it was already two hours later.

He is no stranger to the feeling of economy class. In the past two years, he traveled to various places with the Eindhoven youth team and sat in economy class.First class or even team charter flights are reserved for the first team, the PSV Eindhoven first team of a group of so-called stars.

The plane had taken off for 10 minutes, and Kabinet was still holding his passport and air ticket in his right hand. He looked at his watch, then at his air ticket, and was about to take a nap, when a sentence of English with a Spanish accent came out beside him. . .

"Young man, do you regret it?"

Before closing his eyelids, Kabinet opened his eyes wide again, looking to the left.

A smiling old man with gray temples and a newspaper was looking at him.

"What? Sir!" Cabinet showed his courtesy.

The old man said: "I noticed that you are still holding your passport and ticket, and looking at your watch. Your eyes are dull. Do you regret getting on the plane? Or did you get on the wrong plane? But the plane has already taken off, so you are not allowed to jump off the plane. Haha ~ha~"

Kabini laughed twice, not much, just twice.Then say: "It's impossible to get on the wrong plane, there are people at the gate to check the ticket. And I don't regret boarding the plane. I'm just in a hurry"

"Oh?" The old man put down the newspaper.

"I'm going to the city of Granada in 26 hours"

"Hmm" - the old man already showed that he wanted to continue the conversation.

Kabinet finally agreed to collect his passport and air ticket.He also said: "It's the Granada team reporting to La Liga."

"Oh~~ I know that. The team that barely managed to protect their ranks last season"

"Yes, it seems that you are a fan?"

"Just now I've been reading the football section in the newspaper"

"Which team do you like?"

"Valencia, Dortmund."

"Oh~~?"

"What? Is it strange?"

"No, no, it's just that I hear the accent of my husband. Is it Spanish?"

"Yes, Madridista"

"That's even more strange. In the Spanish league, the fan camps of the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona have the largest strength and the largest number of fans, followed by Atletico Madrid. Sir, you are from Madrid, but you love Valencia and Dortmund in the Bundesliga. .At this point I just don't understand"

"Then I ask you, young man. Where are you from?"

"France, Marseille"

"Is the Marseille team your first love?"

"No, I'm a fan of Arsenal and AC Milan"

"Oh? So is your question still a question?"

The two smiled at each other.

There was a jolt of the plane.

The old man suddenly probed, and asked again: "La Liga hasn't started yet, so don't be so anxious? Could it be...?"

"That's right, I didn't go there to watch the football, but to discuss joining." Cabine's tone and eyes were firm.

The old man straightened himself up and quickly asked, "You played for Eindhoven before?"

"Yes, youth team!"

"Oh, so what made you decide to leave and want to go to Granada?"

"Well~~ First of all, I spent two years in the Eindhoven youth team. I was very happy, but I was not reconciled. So I took the initiative to talk to the head coach of the first team and asked me to be promoted to the first team. Talk about before and after Five times, the answer to me every time is: Watch and see! I can wait, but my football career can't wait, and I can't afford to wait. That's when Granada found me"

After speaking, he looked at the old man, eager for his approval.

The old man nodded: "That makes sense, so when did the Granada team take a fancy to you?"

"It was two and a half months ago. On the day they made an offer to me, I was injured in the warm-up match and my thigh muscle was slightly torn." After finishing speaking, Kabinet pointed to his right leg.

"Oh, this is terrible. Under such circumstances, it is very risky for the Granada team to choose to sign you. But I believe that Coach Coboni should trust you very much"

"Oh? It seems that you know La Liga very well!"

"That's right, I read two football newspapers a day."

"But then again, I'm on my way to Granada, but my agent just told me to meet there as soon as possible, without going into details. So...what will happen next. I can't predict."

The plane has climbed to [-] feet,
Kirby felt uneasy,
Mr. Hass, who was waiting for Cabine on the platform of the Granada City train station, was also anxious.

The beautiful and touching stewardess delivered a delicious dinner, opened the lunch box, and the aroma of chorizo ​​permeated the entire cabin, and Kabinet did not move his hands or mouth.

Even though the old man beside him was completely overwhelmed by the chorizo ​​rice, he still spit out the words from his mouth full of fragrant rice: "There is an old saying in China: Sometimes you have to have something in your life, and you can't force it when you have a life." .A local tour guide told me about it when I traveled to China a few years ago."

Cabine smiled slightly, nodded, and was finally willing to try the delicious Spanish chorizo ​​rice.

"Be careful, don't choke to death. You still have to sign with Granada!"

The two looked at each other and smiled softly.

After the stewardess picked up all the lunch boxes and tableware that all the passengers had eaten, the plane bumped again for a while.Not long after, the announcement on the plane rang~~~
Absolutely sweet voice: "Passengers, the plane will arrive in Madrid in 10 minutes."

The old man who just went to the bathroom returned to his seat and sat down, and said, "Okay, young man, we will say goodbye soon. Tell me your name."

"Cabinet! Crete Cabinet!"

"Oh, who named you a football superstar?"

"Thank you for your trust, sir. This name was given by the director of the orphanage"

"Poor child, it seems that I asked too much." The old man seemed to be blaming himself.

"It's okay, sir. This incident has never brought me any shadows and hurts! Never again!"

The old man didn't speak, just stretched out his thumb and waved Kabinai in front of his eyes.

The aircraft safely parked at the port.

Madrid Airport.

Kabinet walked out of the arrival hall with small steps, stopped again, and looked back. The old man on the plane really caught up. As soon as he got to Kabinai, he said: "It seems that you are really in a hurry, and I don't blame you. The transfer market It will be closed in less than 24 hours." After speaking, he shook his watch at Kabini.

Cabine said, "Okay, sir. Nice to meet you! But I have to change trains, bye!"

The old man said: "You will definitely arrive in time. It only takes two and a half hours to get to Granada from here. Don't worry! Um~~Okay, goodbye, young man. Come on!"

After speaking, he signaled goodbye to Kabini and left.

"Wait, sir. I don't know your name yet?" Cabine straightened his neck and asked hastily.

The old man turned his head, but still chose to say goodbye to Kabini, and continued to leave.

Although Cabine didn't think much about it, he was still grateful to the old man.The long talk on the plane, his humor, comfort, explanation and encouragement made Kabini's messy heart calm, stable, confident and courageous.

Kabinet absolutely needs these, at least today.

The train station is not close to the airport. After searching for nearly an hour, I arrived at the station.The station is large, well planned and modern in design.And the flow of people at the capital train station should not be underestimated. It is estimated that there are as many as 2000 passengers going to Granada alone.

Kabini turned his legs and took small strides, but he hadn't approached the ticket office yet.The warm-hearted ambassador of the station came hurriedly, a beautiful and handsome young girl, and she told Kabinet that if she has trouble walking, she can buy tickets first.

Cabine smiled again after listening, and said in French-style English: "You don't suspect that I'm pretending?"

The girl smiled, but said nothing.But he held Kabinet by the hand and walked towards the priority ticket office.

Buy tickets, wait for the bus, get on the bus, pack your luggage, and sit down.The young girl has been assisting Kabinet.

After finishing, Kabini expressed his thanks, and the girl replied, and then left.

And Cabine had bought a local phone card at the airport before, and at the moment he was free, he replaced the card and called Mr. Haas who was waiting for him at the Granada station.

Inform him about two hours later, he will arrive.After finishing everything, Kabinet decided to take a nap first, and actually had a sweet dream. . .

in a dream,

The Carmenes Stadium in Granada.

Nearly [-] fans.

Red and white horizontally, and printed with the favorite number ---6's home jersey.

White bracer on right wrist

And the wonderful curveball he often hits with his right foot. . .All in a dream.

Time did not fly by, but the train was already slowing down, and when it was approaching Granada Station, Cabine woke up, very satisfied.

He took his backpack, stepped out of the carriage, and saw Mr. Haas in the distance.

Kabinet stepped forward, and saw Mr. Haas holding a cup of coffee in each of his left and right hands. He sipped one cup and handed the other cup to Kabinet.Kabini took the coffee and wanted to give Mr. Haas a hug to celebrate the transfer.

But Mr. Haas obviously didn't mean that. He interrupted Kabini's actions and said: "It's not the time to be happy yet, let's go quickly without talking too much. Maybe that old fellow Coboni has already waited." Impatient"

After listening, Kabini nodded, followed Mr. Haas to turn left and right, turned out of the road to the complicated Granada Station, and immediately stopped a taxi. The two got in the car and drove towards the training base of the Granada Club. go.

Not long after the car left the airport, Mr. Haas said: "According to the information I have so far, I know that the representatives sent by the operation manager of the PSV Eindhoven club have also arrived at the training base of the Granada club. It means that this transfer has reached an agreement." The chances are high, but after a while, you have to show yourself well."

"Wait." Kabinet interrupted in time.

"Is there a question?" Mr. Haas continued.

"What do you mean [show yourself well]? I'm injured. Do you want me to show him a hundred wonderful free throws with my injured right leg in front of Coach Cobon?"

"No"

"No??" Kabinet questioned.

"In terms of speaking, you must be more tactful." After Mr. Haas finished speaking, he took out his cigarette again.

"Oh, I see, it means that I want to say a series of accents to praise the Granada club and express how and how I hope to join"

"Yes, bureaucratic. Whether you like to talk or not, but those people like to listen. Well, you take a break first"

After talking, ask the taxi driver if you can smoke.The uncle driver gave an OK gesture, and Mr. Haas lit his cigarette. Within a few seconds, the carriage was full of smoke rings.The plain low buildings outside the car window before have been replaced by crowded forest buildings, and gradually they have reached the urban area.

After a long time, Kabinet suddenly said, "Mr. Haas, stop smoking, it's already the third one."

After hearing this, Mr. Haas threw the cigarette into the leftover coffee and murmured: "If it wasn't for this thing, maybe I wouldn't have retired so early."

Cabine said, "Stop it!"

Mr. Haas said: "If I could quit, I would have quit long ago"

Cabine said, "Is it that difficult?"

Mr. Haas said: "I have the determination and perseverance to transfer you to the Granada team, but I don't have the determination and perseverance to quit smoking. Isn't it ridiculous?"

At this time, the taxi driver interjected: "Sir, quitting smoking is actually very easy. I have smoked for 30 years, but I still quit it. It is impossible not to quit. First, I am old and my body cannot handle it. Second, Hee hee. My wife has been nagging me to persuade me to quit smoking. I have been nagging for 30 years, so I quit cruelly.” After speaking, I laughed out loud.

Cabine and Mr. Haas also laughed.

Suddenly, Mr. Haas had a serious face and said to Cabine forcefully: "Whenever you play the main role in the first team of Granada, I will quit smoking!"

Cabine said, "Oh~~? You're not making excuses to yourself, are you?"

Mr Haas said: "True word for word"

Cabine said: "Good! Looks like you won't be smoking cigarettes for a few days!"

The two looked at each other without smiling, and their eyes shot out firm eyes at the same time.

The person outside the window, Hai Linxia, ​​disappeared, and changed back to the plain low building.

The taxi braked and stopped at the entrance of the Granada team's training base: two two-storey low-key buildings, next to two grass courts, one large and one small.

Mr. Haas paid the money and led Kabinet to the training base.After a dozen steps, the taxi driver shouted behind them: "Young man, play hard! Old man, try hard to quit smoking! Hahaha~~~!" After shouting, he drove away.
After Kabinai and Mr. Haas waved back, they entered the training base and just took a few steps.The receptionist at the base came in front of the two and said that Coach Coboni and others were waiting in the meeting room and she would lead them there.

The interior decoration and layout of the training base are obviously not luxurious and eye-catching. It is a simple office layout.

The meeting room is not far away, and it takes less than 20 seconds to arrive.The receptionist pushed the door open, and Kabinet and Mr. Haas stepped in.

The meeting room is neither big nor small, and the light is not bright or dark.Sitting four people.Coach Coboni and Granada's sporting director, representative of PSV Eindhoven's operations manager and his deputy.
At this time, it was less than twenty hours before the transfer market closed.
