Chapter 88 - Good boy Thomas

Clemens went to thank Mourinho before getting off the bus. Mourinho nodded in a good temper and watched him get off.

After getting out of the car, Clemens saw the BMW sedan on the side of the road. The beautiful silver color was only liked by the old captain Manuel in Deportivo.Clemens ran a few steps to the side of the car and knocked on the window, then the safety door of the car opened, and Clemens opened the door and sat in.

Manuel, who was holding the steering wheel, drove away quickly after Clemens closed the car door. Although the place here was a bit remote, what his child did just now was a bit bold. Manuel was not like Get Clemens in trouble.But when driving towards downtown Deportivo, Manuel asked: "Why are you on the Real Madrid bus?"

Clemens did not tell Manuel what happened in the underground passage. Kaka may be able to skip this matter, but the old captain is always very upright. If he finds out, he will not report to the club for additional punishment. , but will unite with Vazquez to teach him an unforgettable lesson.Mr. Daochang may be honest, but he is not stupid, so he simply avoided talking about it, just saying: "The Celta fans don't like me, and Mr. Mourinho gave me some help."

Manuel nodded. He didn't express any doubts. After all, his own child dared to go to the scene to watch the game. He was already daring. Tomorrow Toutiao would definitely have him again. After traveling so far, I feel exhausted.Manuel sighed softly: "There will be no next time, Thomas, that is very dangerous. I want to discuss it with my husband later and ask him to call Mr. Mourinho to express his gratitude."

Still can't hide it from Coach Vazquez.

When Clemens got home, he thought about the strange situation he would face tomorrow.

On the second day, when Vazquez asked Clemens to run ten laps around the training base with a dark face, Clemens, who deeply felt that the result was much better than he expected, went without any objection. Ran away, but this still didn't make Vazquez change his face.

Manuel, who was already able to practice together with the team, hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to say something nice for his children: "What happened yesterday was just an accident, sir."

Vazquez still didn't change his mind. Even if the team won the away game yesterday, it didn't make the old coach feel much better. He stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, looked at the captain Manuel, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and said, "Wait until he finishes running. This matter will be over, don't worry, I still trust Thomas." It is because of trust that there are punishments, but when I think of the Portuguese named Mourinho who asked about Clemens in a cryptic way just now Vazquez frowned and said to Manuel, "Do you know who we will draw in the semi-final of the next Copa del Rey?"

The teams that have entered the semi-finals of the King's Cup are not easy to mess with. Manuel knew that the result was not good when he saw Vazquez's face, and he had some expectations.

Vazquez twitched the corner of his mouth, and almost sent a name through his teeth: "Barcelona."

Manuel showed some inexplicable expressions, but did not speak.

Vazquez is just grinding his teeth, Barcelona, ​​and getting Barcelona is actually not much easier than getting Real Madrid or Athletic Bilbao, but this means that they will usher in a wave of devil's schedule.

Three weeks later, League No.20 played against Real Madrid in the fifth round, and then the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona, ​​while League No.20 will meet Sevilla in the sixth round.

With three tough battles to be resolved within two weeks, Vazquez feels his future is bleak.

Although he has already confirmed that he must make a breakthrough in the Copa del Rey, Vazquez, who was just called by Rendoiro to talk, knows that he must also achieve a good result in the league, at least to keep the next one. This season's European qualifications, so that Chairman Rendoiro is willing to retain most of the main players, instead of being forced by the pressure of bank debts after the transfer window opens like other small teams that have sprung up. Hope the player is on fire sale.

The league cannot be given up, and the Copa del Rey also wants to make a breakthrough. Now it is time for Vazquez to make a choice.

Vazquez frowned and thought for a long time, until Clemens returned to the training ground after running ten laps to conduct fire-fighting training with Nelson and saved five consecutive shots from Nelson. He felt that Clemens was still in a brave state. Vazquez then turned to Manuel and Fernandez and said, "Come to my office, I think I'm going to make a plan for the days ahead."

Manuel followed, while assistant coach Fernandis asked, "Sir, do you need any information?"

Vazquez nodded with a calm expression: "Bring me all the information about the kids in the second-tier team. I want to see it. I also need the schedule of the national team's games. I must keep my position during the last few days."

As soon as Manuel said this sentence, he knew what Vazquez meant.

He is going to rotate, and some unimportant games may be strategically given up by Vazquez, and young people from the second team will be sent to play.

This is a common method used by giant teams. In Europe, there are actually only a few good teams, such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, the Big Six in Premier League, and Juventus and Milan in Serie A. These teams often It will make the players sharpen their heads and drill in, and it will also make their bench extremely strong.Maybe the rich teams will also have ups and downs. Under the impact of the Jinyuan era, they will no longer have the absolute dominance at the beginning, but most players will still list them as their first choice. Sometimes you can find that these teams are in the league. There will be two very different lineups from the cup, and that kind of extravagance often makes the eyes of small teams envious.

However, the rotation will not affect the team's performance too much. A team composed of good players can always get a good ranking. Both the club and the players will like this method. After all, no one always likes to sit Look at the water dispenser on the bench.

But small teams are not so extravagant. It is good for them to have a complete set of starters. Unscheduled injuries and unexpected absences of players will make the formation look stretched. How can they be bold enough to rotate casually? What about playing?

If the second-team players are rotated in the league according to Vazquez's idea, it means that there will definitely be games abandoned, which means that the league points will be released.

Without any question, Fernandez trotted away to obtain the information of the second team. The office of the Deportivo second team is not far from here, but Fernandez still hopes to shorten the time.Manuel suggested in a low voice: "Sir, maybe you can apply to the Football Association for the postponement of the league."

The corner of Vazquez's mouth twitched, but he didn't laugh. In the end, he could only reply helplessly: "We are not a wealthy team, my dear Manuel, many suggestions will not be adopted."

"Then we can try to get Real Madrid to apply for the postponement of the game together?" Manuel said again.

Vazquez didn't speak, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

If Deportivo will not threaten their league status before the match against Real Madrid, then the postponement of the game can still be negotiated, but once Deportivo's points catch up, then the result must not be pleasant.

Real Madrid is playing against the relatively weak Athletic Bilbao, and I am playing against Barcelona. No matter who looks at it, I can be sure that Real Madrid will advance [-]% of the record, and my own [-]% may be an optimistic view.

Is there any relationship between the two clubs Real Madrid and Deportivo? On the contrary, there are some festivals. Throughout the history of Deportivo, no matter the peak or the trough of the team, Deportivo, who rushed to attack and play, can always play. With an unexpected score, Deportivo have basically given Real Madrid an ugly look no matter what time it is.

On the day of Real Madrid's centennial celebration ten years ago, Deportivo won 2:1 in an away game without embarrassment. This defeat directly made Real Madrid a joke in Spain for a long time.

Thinking about this, Vazquez feels that the possibility of postponing the game is extremely slim. Even if he strongly requests it, as long as Real Madrid does not nod, then it will not be possible.

It's better to prepare with both hands, Vazquez glanced at the players who were laughing and training together on the field from the window, and waved his hands.

Let yourself think about the troublesome things, it is enough for these silly boys to compete honestly.

It didn't take long for Fernandez to walk in, but the first thing he did was not to clarify the classification of the materials, but to hand over a newspaper.

"Sir, this has just been delivered, I think you need to take a look first."

Vazquez himself has the habit of reading newspapers, but what he reads are newspapers with good sales, such as "Marca", or newspapers that are responsible for boasting La Coruna to the sky, like "Journal de la Coruña". ", the old coaches of other newspapers don't have so much time to read.After hearing Fernandez's words at this moment, Vazquez reached out to take it and looked down. This newspaper was the "Confidential" that was unilaterally blocked by Clemens, and the headline on the front page of the news was [-] A photo of a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, his appearance is simply horrible.

The eye circles are dark, there are obvious red marks on the cheeks, and the chin is also red, but the whole head is swollen but there is no blood. It is obvious that he was beaten very skillfully.

However, Vazquez, who has been a football coach for a long time, can also tell that this is a flawed injury, and the pain is painful, but it will not hurt the bones, and it will be fine after the pain passes.

But the news headline above made Vazquez raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Celta fans: Deportivo liars hit us!" "

Vazquez knows who he is talking about without looking at it. After all, last night, all the main players of Deportivo except Clemens went to play away in the league. The only one left, Thomas, ran away desperately. Celta watch the game.Just look at it, and it was recognized by other cameras. If he hadn't walked fast, and the news of Beckham's return to Spain was exposed together and directly robbed all the headlines, maybe Clemens's The trouble will be bigger.

Vazquez couldn't be more grateful for Heartthrob's invisible help.

But after all the calculations, he missed a little bit, Vazquez frowned and handed the newspaper to Manuel.

Manuel glanced roughly, frowned slightly and looked at his coach with some concern: "Sir, do you need to clarify from time to time?" Players have a bad reputation for provoking trouble. Reimens' image has always been good, so being discredited like this is really not worth the candle.

Yes, slander, in Manuel's heart, his own child is well-behaved, upright, and honest and kind. How could that good child who couldn't even surf the Internet fight?

Vazquez casually threw the newspaper aside, didn't even read it, and just snorted softly: "It's probably revenge, those reporters are smaller than the tip of a needle, Thomas got annoyed and blocked them, I guess this The newspaper office has resentment in its heart, and it will say something bad at any opportunity. Anyway, it is not a day or two for them to shout about freedom of speech and talk nonsense in private. In addition, we will soon have a game against Barcelona, ​​and they are also half of them. The mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​I must be unwilling to make some noise." Then Vazquez snorted coldly, "There is no need to clarify this kind of thing, Thomas will fight? Who will believe this."

No clubbing, no messing around, no scandals, these days Clemens has been clean like a blank sheet of paper, even the paparazzi are too lazy to follow him, he once publicly stated that the life of this young man is too boring, every day Apart from staying at home for training and games, or sitting on the balcony in a strange posture for a whole day, it has no news value at all, following him is a waste of time.

Even though later, with the help of that vampire-like Mendez, Clemens got a salary dozens of times higher than before, but still maintained a completely unchanged living habit, which is especially rare.

Such a hard-working and obedient boy, who would believe the news from the "Secret Daily"?

It's just spreading rumors, a bunch of guys who tell lies and don't pay taxes.

Manuel nodded in agreement, and then put this matter behind him, sat down with Vazquez to search for those player information, and found out based on technical characteristics, hoping to find it like Clemens Find a few good seedlings.

But unlike these two people who completely trusted Clemens, Fernandez, who had been silent on the side, looked at the ceiling, a little absent-minded.

He still remembers what Clemens said when the fans of Deportivo and Real Sociedad clashed after the game.

"Do you want me to help?"

My child said these words without any psychological pressure, and Fernandez felt that as long as he nodded his head at that time, the child could rush out and become one of the top ten. It can be seen that this kind of thing is of no importance to him. From Nandis' point of view, if someone really dares to provoke Clemens, Clemens can really beat them until they are bruised and swollen, and they are helpless.

But the fact is not important anymore. The whole world knows that our door god is kind and honest. This kind of news is naturally fake and no one will believe it.

Even if it's true... It's not embarrassing for anyone who provokes him to refuse to accept it, and to yell if he can't beat him.

Fernandez nodded on his own, and quickly picked up his mood and participated in the discussion on player selection, while the "Confidential" was thrown aside and no one paid attention to it.

And Ronaldo, who is far away at home in Madrid, is enjoying a rare rest. It is their habit to have a day off after the game. In addition, in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, they will face the weaker Athletic Bilbao. With one swing, several main players were rotated, and Ronaldo was one of them.

Having finished the extra training for himself, Ronaldo looked a little bored and refreshed the news, and he saw the shocking picture. It is rare to beat people into this kind of virtue, and it is also necessary to avoid the vital points everywhere. Very capable.

Did it really cause trouble?

Glancing at the title, Ronaldo naturally thought of the Deportivo kid who huddled in the Real Madrid car yesterday.Thinking about it now, that brat was not quite right from his behavior to his demeanor. Although Ronaldo was not prepared to talk too much, his immediate reaction was similar to that of Kaka. For Clemens, he knew the choice to find Real Madrid as a shelter. Like.

However, the force value of future national team teammates needs to be re-evaluated. Ronaldo feels that he and Pepe must have a lot to say.

Just as he was about to throw away the phone and continue coaxing his fat son, the phone rang, and the incoming call reminded him that it was Jorge Mendes who was always flying around the world and couldn't stop.

When the call was connected, without waiting for Ronaldo to speak, Mendes said directly: "Come with me tomorrow, there is a print advertisement to be finalized, you bring Nelson, I will pick you up at ten o'clock in the morning." Then the call was blocked Hang up.

Ronaldo doesn't think there is any disrespect. He was brought up by Mendes since he was a child. The relationship between the two is extraordinary. Mendes brought him all the way to Manchester United to find Ferguson for him. Ronaldo was in Ferguson. It was under his hands that the light was completely shining, and then Mendes manipulated him to come to Real Madrid, and then single-handedly promoted him as a world superstar. Ronaldo has always been grateful for this. The relationship between the two is close. This kind of sudden phone call is always very common when Si is busy with his feet not touching the ground.

But what makes Ronaldo depressed is that he actually wants to bring that Nelson with him again?He felt his head buzzing when he thought about going to see that chatterbox tomorrow. Why is there someone in the world who can speak better than Marcelo!

Why didn't he give some of his talkative cells to Clemens when he was so talkative?I don't know how a boring gourd and a gossip bucket are teammates!

"Dad, I want a ball." Little Chris doesn't care if Ronaldo is annoying or not, the fat, black guy stretches out his hand with a smile and wants to grab the ball on the table, which is much smaller than an ordinary football , it was specially used by Ronaldo for his own children to play with.

Throwing away the phone, Ronaldo decided to temporarily forget about the nagging, and went to the yard with his son in his arms.

"Dad! Play football!"

"Okay, Dad will guard the goal for you, and you kick it.... You are not allowed to stand at the goal! You are not allowed to look at the net! Watch the ball! Only when you kick in can you drink milk!"

"... Dad is bad."

"It's useless to bite me, little guy, be careful with your teeth..."

Regarding the fact that the team drew Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, many Deportivo fans shook their heads and smiled bitterly at the first reaction, feeling that what should come always comes.

The team has reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. No one wants to give up, including the fans, who hope that the team can go further. Most of them are cheering and encouraging. not come out.

However, the media in Barcelona was full of joy and encouragement. The experience of losing three points to Deportivo at home is still vivid. Today, Barcelona and Real Madrid are particularly fierce in the competition for the top spot. Irreversible consequences, originally Barcelona was promoted to the leader of La Liga when Real Madrid's personnel were inconsistent and frequently lost points. With [-] points, Barcelona was kicked directly from the top position, allowing Real Madrid to keep pressing on their heads by virtue of their goal difference advantage.

Until now, Barcelona can only rank second, which is very uncomfortable for the Catalan media who are used to touting Barcelona as a cosmic team.

As soon as the lottery results were announced, many media directly posted articles, comparing this game to a battle of revenge, hoping that Barcelona can win two beautiful games to beat Deportivo with a fist, so as to avenge their revenge.

Deportivo's side is not easy to provoke either, they counterattack directly through the "Daily de La Coruna", and they are not forgiving at all.

And the way of counterattack is also very simple and rude.

Aren't you great?So why haven't we scored against us this season?Let's go ahead and brag!

This sentence directly aroused the anger of the Barcelona fans, and they rolled up their sleeves and fought for [-] rounds with Deportivo and the guys who must speak with emojis.

——I offer a Messi! ——Three points are ours →_→

—I offer a Puyol! ——Three points are ours →_→

- I have a Harvey Fabregas Iniesta Thiago, midfield bomb! ——Keke, three points are ours →_→

In a joyous atmosphere, the first round of the Copa del Rey semi-final match in the middle of the week slowly kicked off. Deportivo La Coruña sits at the home court of the Riazor Stadium and ushered in the challenge of the Western giants Barcelona!
