Chapter 241 Spanish King's Cup Final (seeking a monthly ticket)
Madrid, Barajas Airport.
Miss Marina Mendes looked anxiously at the time on her watch. The flight from Yanjing, China was more than two hours late.
At this moment, the airport radio finally reported that the flight from Yanjing was about to arrive.
Miss Mendes took out a small mirror from her bag and checked it out herself. She was dressed appropriately, youthful and beautiful, and her light makeup was just right.
About half an hour later.
"Here, here!" Miss Mendes waved her arm happily and shouted.
The happy Miss Mendes first hugged Fang Xiaoyu enthusiastically, and then obediently greeted Fang's father, "Shushuhao, I love Auntie."
"Hello, hello." Fang's father and mother Fang also responded enthusiastically. They have not yet figured out the relationship between Miss Mendes and her son. If they say it is a daughter-in-law, their son said it is no. However, judging from this girl's behavior, it is really the daughter-in-law's behavior.
"I'll call your brother." said Dad Fang.
Before Fang Xiaoyu could respond, Miss Marina Mendes talked a lot.
"What did she say?"
"Malina means, let's not inform my brother first and give him a surprise."
Miss Mendes said again.
"Malina also said that her brother is leading the team to prepare for the finals, so don't distract him."
"Okay." Dad Fang nodded. It was not the reason why he was surprised or not. He didn't want his parents to affect his son's work.
Miss Mendes was relieved to see that she had successfully dissuaded her.
Last time she had a direct duel with Miss Papa and lost to Ibiza, Miss Mendes thought about it carefully. The girl came to judge where her biggest advantage was, that is, she had been to Fang Jue's house and was familiar with Fang Jue's family. Moreover, Fang Jue's parents had a good impression of her.
Therefore, Miss Mendes made a plan for herself to "Jedi Counterattack", which was to deal with Fang Jue's family and continue to win the favor of Fang Jue's parents. She also specially studied the culture and thinking of Chinese people. In China, love and marriage are not just about the affairs of two parties involved, but the attitude of the family is also very important, which is a plus point.
"I have arranged it. We will visit Madrid in the next few days." Miss Mendes said enthusiastically, "and then go to the Bernabeu to watch the game three days later. I have prepared the tickets, and it is a VIP private room."
When Fang’s father, Fang’s mother and Fang Xiaoyu arrived in Madrid, Miss Papa, who was unaware of this, was applauding Fang Jue. She calculated the day and today was the best time for conception this month.
...
Three days passed quickly.
"Shu Shu Kuo, Ai Auntie." Miss Mendes greeted happily, "Let's go."
During these three days, Miss Mendes hosted Fang Jue's family to eat, drink and have fun in Madrid, which was very exciting. Fang's father and mother were also getting better and better towards the girl. In the eyes of the two elders, even if they were real daughter-in-laws, it was not easy to be so careful and enthusiastic.
Fang Xiaoyu and Miss Mendes have a closer relationship, and they have almost become good friends who can talk about everything.
Miss Mendes had already prepared the concierge car in advance.
"Shu Shu, I love Auntie, please get in the car."
Miss Mendes entertained everyone in the car, and she also got in the car and sat with Fang Xiaoyu. The two girls chatted and chatted again.
"This girl is really good," said Fang's mother.
Dad Fang didn't say anything, but nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Fang Jue and Ibiza's entire team had already arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium by bus.
In the mixed interview area, Fang Jue simply accepted an interview from the media.
"Valencia is very strong, it will be a very difficult game, but we have the confidence to win." The young head coach was full of energy.
Finally, Fang Jue made a victory gesture to the reporters.
"I really don't understand where his confidence comes from?" said a reporter from Valencia in dissatisfaction.
"It's the confidence given by Barcelona." A reporter said with a smile, and then this caused a burst of laughter. Valencia's reporters and Real Madrid reporters were laughing, but only Catalonian reporters looked embarrassed. Obviously, the incident of Barcelona's magical reversal by Ibiza will make this La Liga giant a topic of conversation for a long time in the future.
...
Valencia's lineup: 3-Hildebran; 24-Moreti, 4-Albiol, 5-Elgra, 2-Canella; 4-Vicente), 3-Maduro, Banegas, 7-Jogin; 2-David Silva, 7-Villa
Some of the players were listening to music, while others were talking softly.
However, everyone would look at their head coach from time to time.
Fang Jue was staring at the tactical board and pondering.
The above is his estimated Valencia lineup, to be precise, he is staring at the names Maduro and Banegas.
According to Fang Jue's judgment, Valencia will arrange the double-back midfield formations of Maduro and Banéga today.
Dutch midfielder Maduro joined Valencia from Ajax last summer. However, this Dutch player was not valued by Valencia's head coach Flores. At the end of last year, Flores was dismissed and his successor Oscar Fernandez didn't like this Dutch either. However, Fernandez was also dismissed soon. Now Valencia's head coach is Dutch Ronald Koeman. He admires this Dutch fellow. Maduro has had many consecutive league rounds.
Although Maduro is a defensive midfielder, his attack style is extremely strong, his powerful long shot in front of the penalty area, as well as accurate direct passes and passes in counterattacks are his specialties. With his tall figure, this is very similar to Arsenal veteran Vieira. It is rumored that Wenger planned to introduce Maduro at the beginning, but Valencia took the lead.
Another midfielder, Banega, only joined Valencia from the Argentine giant Boca youth last summer. Banega is a very optimistic genius player in Argentina. He has good skills, is a master of passing and has imagination.
Originally, Banegga was a player who played No. 0, but his speed was slow and he couldn't pass, so he could only drag the ball to the midfield.
Fang Jue drew a circle on Banerga's name.
In fact, Banerga is a front midfielder, but his speed is too slow, so he is forced to play the back midfielder. As a back midfielder, he likes to stick to the ball, but his defensive ability is not good.
Valencia has Vicente, Joaquin, David Silva and Villa, and is a team that is used to playing fast-paced football. However, Fang Jue keenly captured that Banega, the player, was not in line with Valencia's team. Bane accelerated slowly, turned around slowly, and the pace was slow. Fang Jue carefully studied Valencia's recent games. Valencia's rapid offense, as soon as he arrived at Banega, it was like suddenly stepping on the brakes, and it suddenly slowed down.
Therefore, Fang Jue chose to use Banéga as a breakthrough point today.
The question now is whether Ronald Koeman will send Banéga.
In the past few days, Ibiza's training has also conducted targeted drills on Banega's breakthrough. If Banega does not have it, it would be a waste of time to do the homework during this period.
Of course, Fang Jue could not have only this plan. He also made a response drill for the situation that Banéga did not have.
But, he really hopes Banega.
...
In Valencia's locker room, Ronald Koeman was also worried. He has not yet confirmed the final lineup today. What he hesitated was that his waist was not easy to pass Banerga. Argentina's passes accurately, which is what Ronald Koeman admired, but Banerga's slow speed and pace are what Koeman hesitated.
"What are you looking at?" Ronald Koeman saw his assistant Bartra staring at the laptop screen.
"An interesting article," said Bartra, "a very popular article on the fan forum."
"Let's see." Coman came over and took a look.
This is a post from a Valencia fan named Sarati Paul Vandert. The fan clearly stated that if Valencia wants to win the King's Cup, he must make Banéga, because the Argentine is the player who can give a deadly first pass that Valencia lacks the most. The fan also compared Banéga to Valencia's Pirlo, Valencia's brain.
Koeman thoughtfully. What this fan said was exactly what Koeman values Banéga. He was really irritable. It would be even better if this Argentine boy was faster and less procrastinating and sticky to the ball.
Then, Koman saw that one of the comments below the post was very enthusiastic after the discussion. When he looked at it, Koman's face turned gloomy.
"I bet that if Ronald Koeman sent Banerga, he would definitely regret it. Can't this stupid guy with a brain squeezed into the door? Can't he see that Banerga is the biggest parallel in Valencia's midfielder? In my opinion, Ronald Koeman will be dismissed sooner or later. By the way, take his Banerga together and get out of here." Master coach player: Salvador David Jerrysman.
Bastard!
Koman's face turned blue. He had just taken over Valencia for less than two months and was about to show his strength. This bastard guy actually cursed him for the get out of class. This bastard!
Mom is a criticism. I am a head coach. Don’t you know more and see through it than you, a fan who talks about war on paper?!
Finally, Ronald Koeman was on Valencia's list before the specified time deadline, and Argentina's young international Banerga was listed. At the last moment, Ronald Koeman finally made a decision to pass Banerga.
Chapter completed!
