The Glory of the Godfather

Chapter 346: Focus war



September 18, 2008, the seventy-seventh anniversary of the September 18th Incident.

Ibiza is a guest in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, ushering in the first European war in the 54-year history of the club.

There are nearly a thousand Ibiza fans accompanying the team on the away game. For the small island of Ibiza, which has a resident population of only 100,000, the scale of one thousand is really not small.

As the fourth place in the Portuguese Super League last season, Maritimo is quite strong. Before the game, the Portuguese media are more confident that Maritimo will score at home. This is because the media in Madeira is more\'modest\'. In fact, after the draw of Ibiza, the local media in Madeira even cheered and said it was a “good sign”, and then they learned that the newly promoted La Liga team killed Madrid 8-3 in their La Liga debut. The news of the giants Atletico Madrid...Then, the Madeira media changed their tone: Maritimo wants to advance, he must score points in the first round of the home game, and try not to let Ibiza score a goal, well, This means to fight a zero-to-zero game as much as possible at home, and then put hope on the away game.

The whistle of the 90-minute match blew, and the Ibiza fans in the visiting team stand of the Maritimo Park Stadium burst into excitement.

At the end of the game, Ibiza defeated the Portuguese Superpower Maritimo 2-1 in an away game and took the lead in the two rounds of the knockout round.

It was Lewandowski and Mata who scored for Ibiza. After the start of the new season, these two players are definitely the best in Ibiza\'s team.

In fact, if it weren\'t for Maridimo goalkeeper Novachikov\'s outstanding performance, Ibiza might have won another big victory in this game.

"Sunday Telegraph" reported the game on the front page the day after the game, cheering for the first European victory in the history of the club Ibiza.

The whole island of Ibiza was full of laughter.

However, with the exception of Ibiza’s local media and fans cheering, the media response in other parts of Spain was relatively flat. Even if the match was mentioned, it was just a brief introduction. After all, the influence of the UEFA Cup is far less than the Champions League. What\'s more, this is only a qualifying match before the UEFA Cup group stage, and the influence is even smaller.

A few days later, in the third round of La Liga, Ibiza drew with Almeria in an away game, and Desler scored the equalizer goal for Ibiza.

Although it was only a draw, Fang Jue was quite satisfied with the result of the game.

Just look at the standings after the three rounds of La Liga. Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal, Espanyol, these four teams have 7 points at the same time, just because of the goal difference. The differences are ranked 1 to 4.

Valencia and Villarreal are the strong teams in La Liga, and they have always been strong, occupying the top spot according to the standings. It is not too surprising, but the Spaniard and Almeria are definitely the new season. The dark horse after the start.

Behind these four teams is Real Madrid, the Galaxy Battleship has 6 points, ranking fifth in the league.

Behind Real Madrid is Ibiza, who slaughtered Atletico Madrid’s newly promoted La Liga eight to three in the first round of the league. After two consecutive draws, they scored 5 points in three rounds and were able to rank sixth in the league. name.

"The chaotic new season, the fallen giants." This is the front page headline of the "Marca" after this round of the league.

Real Madrid ranked fifth with two wins and one loss. Barcelona ranked ninth with one win, one draw and one loss. Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal and Spaniards and newly promoted Mahtafi occupy the top six. With five places, this chaotic situation can be said to be rare in recent years.

Then, for the forthcoming fourth round of the league, the media almost simultaneously focused their attention on Ibiza.

Ibiza will host Valencia in this round of the league.

This game should not be regarded as a focus match, but there is a precedent for Ibiza to kill Atletico Madrid in eight matches at home. In addition, don’t forget that Ibiza defeated Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last season. In the Spanish Super Cup before the start of this season, Real Madrid won the championship. It seems that this team can always burst out with impressive energy when facing strong opponents.

And look at the other matchups in this round of the league, Barcelona Real Betis, Villarreal Atlético de Santander, Real Madrid Atlético de Gijón... Sevilla Espanyol?

Whether it is from the current league rankings or from the display of team strength, it seems that the match between Ibiza and Valencia is really not as eye-catching as this game.

What\'s more: these two teams have old grievances.

Last season, the Copa del Rey final was conducted between these two teams. In the end, Ibiza from the second league defeated La Liga giants Valencia at the Bernabeu Stadium and won the first championship trophy in club history.

You know, last season, Valencia\'s four major players were empty, and the internal chaos within the team continued. The Copa del Rey was the last redemption opportunity for Valencia at the time, but it was killed by Ibiza in the final... This is definitely considered. It\'s no small\'hatred\' anymore.

At the very least, it has only been a few months, and the people of Valencia will not forget this hatred so quickly.

Of course, this is for Valencia. For Fang Jue, he didn\'t feel that he and Valencia had any hatred before. It\'s not normal to win or lose because of the game.

Therefore, when he heard the sound of the Valencia boss young Soler firing at him, his expression was surprised.

Why?

The president of Valencia, Mr. Soler Jr., took the lead when he was interviewed by the media.

The chairman criticized Fang Jue for using improper means to **** Mata away from Valencia.

When Fang Jue heard the young Soler attack him in this way, his first reaction was: Bad, has the matter exposed?

Then he sighed with relief when he saw what Soler had said on the news.

"In fact, we have reached an agreement with Mata and his family. We are already in the office waiting to sign with Mata. Finally we got the news that the player and his family did not go to the airport, and someone showed up at the airport. The player’s home."

"Don\'t ask me why Mata didn\'t choose Valencia, I don\'t know, but I can be sure that we did reach an agreement with Mata, but in the end he did not come. There must be a problem."

Fang Jue was taken aback. Although it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, he was always unhappy when he was shot.

In particular, he has always been kind, humble, and low-key. Such a talented but extremely low-key handsome coach would be attacked for no reason. It is unbearable.

Some people were surprised when the young Soler opened fire on Fang Jue. However, even the surprised people who ate melons were not surprised soon. This Valencia chairman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this is a big mouth. Ah, last season Valencia’s almost self-predicted Spanish Copa del Rey was robbed by Ibiza, which caused Valencia’s four to be empty. It is said that Valencia’s stock has fallen miserably, and Soler has lost a lot. It was not easy for the young Soler to endure his temper until now.

But I didn\'t expect the young Soler to be a little clever. He didn\'t talk about the Copa del Rey, but brought up the old things. He turned up the old account of Mata\'s escape to Valencia and Fang Jue.

Fang Jue felt that he was innocent, and this feeling of innocence was finally extended to unhappy.

If you are unhappy, you will naturally fight back.

"I am very happy to meet Valencia again." Fang Jue said.

"It\'s like meeting a love partner. Ibiza had waited fifty-four years before and met Valencia on a beautiful stage for the first time. The end result was complete and full of love. So, for and Valencia I am looking forward to the game in West Asia."

Looking forward to peat.

Fang Jue said that he didn\'t have a dirty word, and he didn\'t conduct any personal attacks, and even the words were beautiful. Those who didn\'t know thought it was love five-element prose.

However, knowing what happened in the Copa del Rey last season, I couldn\'t help but breathe in air: This guy is really poisonous! Do not bring a dirty word to hurt people.

It is simply not to kill the popularity, but also disgusting.

In Valencia, the first person to jump out and scold Fang Jue was not their coach Emery, but the team\'s Spanish veteran Marchena.

The Spanish midfielder has a very rude tone.

"I am also looking forward to the match against Ibiza now, ha! After this match is over, some people don\'t want to cry!"

For Marchena jumped out to fight, the media reporters did not have the slightest surprise.

Carlos Marchena is a very good player. This player is physically strong and has good ball handling and man-marking ability. However, the Spanish defender has a hot temper, which is a violent temper.

Valencian people are relatively mild, so many people wonder why Marchena is so manic. I am afraid to talk about it from his hometown. Marchena is from Seville. This is a famous Spanish temper. One of the locations is similar to the ridicule in China, "Look at me," and "Look at you," and then just crackle.

Fang Jue ignored Marchena\'s clamor. If Emery jumped out to quarrel with him, he would naturally be willing to accompany him. However, Marchena is just a player and his level is not equal.

Of course, this was mainly because Fang Jue had always been pure and kind, and had a broad-minded mind. He would not have the same knowledge as this person.

Not only did he fail to respond, Fang Jue also banned Ibiza’s players from fighting with Valencians.

When Clement was interviewed by the media, he slapped Marchena, avenging Fang Jue, and was criticized by Fang Jue.

"Don\'t bother with these provocative behaviors." Fang Jue looked serious, "Don\'t be fooled. Their purpose is to disturb us. This is a manifestation of the opponent\'s unconfidence. We cannot be fooled."

Everyone laughed, Fang Jue glared at these guys, "I mean it."

The players laughed again.

"Why do I really think the coach is right? Valencians are not confident, so they made trouble." Mata whispered.

"I have this feeling too." Royce nodded, he thought he was the only one feeling it.

"Okay, don\'t laugh." Fang Jue clapped his hands, "Say business matters, don\'t say anything to the media, and focus on the game."

"But, coach, Marchena said that, are you really not angry?" Fareco shouted.

"Not angry." Fang Jue shook his head, "I care what he does, winning is the best response."

Veterans like Makelele nodded in agreement. The other side felt that his attitude was very acceptable. Regardless of his young coach, he was very stable.

"Okay, it\'s all quiet." Fang Jue continued to explain tactics.

"Be careful, Villa."

"He has been in very good shape recently."

"Remember, don\'t give Villa easy room to get the ball."

"And David Silva."

"This kid is very hot recently," Fang Jue said.

He is right. If Mata has been in Ibiza recently, and Mata\'s popularity is very strong, Valencia\'s Silva\'s popularity can be said to be overwhelming.

There are numerous reports in the media, and it can even be said that Silva\'s growth and privacy have been unearthed.

Silva\'s mother Ava is Japanese, and his father Fernando is a police officer. Silva has been exposed to the beautiful sport of football since he was a child. He will try to kick everything he can with his little feet, such as fruits or potatoes. At that time, he always yelled "football football", and his family even worried that Silva would only say this one word.

Because of Silva\'s small eyes and humble character, many fishermen nearby like to call him "Chinese boy".

Silva’s talent is indeed rare among his peers, but his height and body are relatively weak, which also made him perform well in Real Madrid’s trial training. However, Real Madrid gave up him for this reason and finally let Valencia pick him up. It\'s a big deal.

Speaking of ~www.novelhall.com~, some media have started to hype the matchup between Mata and Silva, the two "Real Madrid abandoned generals" again.

At last……

"Pay attention to Marchena." Fang Jue tapped on the small blackboard.

"Marchena\'s temper is very hot."

"This is a big card-eater."

Fang Jue was right. Marchena had a hot temper and a lot of fouls on the court: Marchena was sent off in just 47 seconds in the opening match between Valencia and Osasuna Football Club in the 2003/04 season. As a result, he became the fastest person to be sent off by a red card in the history of Valencia; on March 6, 2007, Valencia faced Inter Milan in the Champions League match. The two teams clashed after the game. Marchena and his teammates David Navarro fought against a number of Inter players. Afterwards, the two clubs were fined 100,000 Euros by UEFA and Marchena himself was suspended for four games.

Anyway, as long as a little spark, this guy will explode.

"Attention, this must be paid attention to." Fang Jue tapped on the small blackboard again.
