football's most handsome

Chapter 167

Casillas didn't know why he felt that Juan's voice was a bit weird at the moment, but he didn't think much about it.

Everyone in the football world knows how much Ferguson takes care of Juan, especially in terms of love. There are even rumors that Ferguson prefers the Portuguese——

is not that right?

In the entire Manchester United, the person he loves the most is Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the coach, he also pays special attention to Juan Diaz, and he brought it out by himself.

Ferguson didn't shy away from this matter at all. Regarding this question, he directly raised his eyebrows: "First of all, I want to say that I never favor any player or anyone. If they make a mistake, I will still punish them."

--real? ?

How come they never heard of Ferguson punishing Cristiano Ronaldo? ?

Standing in the eyes of the media, Ferguson was very calm: "However, I still like children who do not make mistakes and are very serious. No one would dislike children who work hard, right?"

"So you mean...?"

"Cristiano and Dias are both serious, professional players - ex-players too, aren't they? They both did well at United and made a lot of difference to the team, I think all Manchester United fans can see that."

——So the conclusion is that there is nothing wrong with him being partial, right?

For a while, the media reporters were left speechless by the Sir Alex Hair Dryer.

But this sentence is not unreasonable. The talents of these two people are amazing. Cristiano is now gradually in full swing in Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson has discovered his power. As the new No. [-], The Portuguese quickly gained a huge following at Manchester United.

And what about Juan Dias?

Although his performance on the court was fleeting like a meteor, no one can ever forget him-Manchester United just lacks a midfielder like him now.

However, his current performance in coaching is also impressive enough. Even at the beginning, everyone laughed and said: "Juan Diaz must have brought Sir Alex's tactical board with him when he left. Grandpa has learned a lot here."

But now, when Deportivo is breaking out with his own very personal style, no one will say that anymore.

Juan also knew that the Ferguson took care of him, and he was grateful and never forgot, so when the Ferguson called, he would never neglect.

"Juan, the next game against Chelsea..."

"Must win?" Juan was a little helpless, but most of them were clear.

The "Times" conducted a survey before, about "Which team do you hate the most in the entire Premier League?" As a result, Manchester United beat Chelsea by a small margin and continued to top the list.

For this matter, most of the Red Devils are very proud and proud.

why?

Because they are hated and feared by other teams in the Premier League, it proves that they are afraid of Manchester United. They are alone in the defeat of Manchester United, so they hate Manchester United!

For this reason alone, the Red Devils diehards like Manchester United enough.

"Winning is one thing." To his surprise, the first sentence Ferguson said was not about winning. The old man from Scotland sighed on the phone.

"The most important thing is, be careful with your players. Chelsea plays with your feet, and you are smart." Ferguson instructed carefully, and Juan nodded seriously. He kept everything that Ferguson taught him in his heart. .

After saying this, Ferguson hesitated for a while and said: "Although it has not been announced to the public, but... Cristiano suffered a small injury because of this game."

Sir Sir's voice didn't sound as worried as he imagined, so Juan was a little nervous when he heard the news, and then he calmed down: "Is he okay?"

"It's not a big problem. When facing Terry, this kid tried to overtake, but Terry knocked him down without hesitation."

Juan recalled that there was indeed such a scene in the game he watched in the tactics class: "He seemed to be okay when I watched it?"

"...Come on, don't you know this kid? You just know how to be brave," Ferguson sighed, "Before, he would steal and play tricks, and he knew to use some means to protect himself, but now it seems that his father's condition has worsened Because of it, I’m not in a good mood.”

Speaking of this, Juan's heart was also a little heavy. Although he had only met Cristiano's father a few times, he could tell that he was a proud father of his son.

Cristiano is usually a big boy who cares about his family. Ever since he heard that his father was ill, he has been a little unhappy, but he is still very conscientious when he is on the court. Thinking of this, Ferguson can't help feeling a little bit Sigh.

After being silent for a while, Sir Alex continued: "Don't say it's you, I was deceived by him. It wasn't until he took off his socks when he returned to the locker room that Scholes saw that his calf was swollen. It's a big piece, and even walking is a little difficult... But it's okay, it's not serious, and I can play again after a few days of rest."

"He may want to play impulsively, please be sure to stop him." When he said this, Juan wanted to sigh.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always been very excited about playing games, especially in big competitions, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he is.

However, the entire Red Devils still dotes on him very much, but Juan has personally experienced it——

At the beginning of the game, the whole team played very seriously, even a little desperately, and everyone basically tried to finish the game in the first six 10 minutes.

why?

Because in the next three and 10 minutes, Juan and Cristiano may be replaced. That's called a happy...

Ferguson has piercing eyes, and he naturally knows what the players are doing, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, which can be said to have acquiesced to this situation.

At the beginning, Juan was still a little unbelievable, but soon he discovered that Sir Alex really loved him and Cristiano, and he was so spoiled by all kinds of things, especially later, when Cristiano's chance to play was very low. There are too many, and everyone still spoils him like this...

If he forcefully asked to play, Juan really didn't know whether Ferguson would really agree to him in a moment of soft-heartedness.

When he heard his request, Ferguson was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "What are you talking about, he is injured and I definitely want him to recuperate well, why let him play?"

Juan smiled: "I'm just teasing you."

"Oh, good boy..." Sir Alex shook his head, "Let me tell you for the last time, Cristiano will not play!"

After Juan's sudden jump on the court that time, he is now very careful about the use of everyone. No matter who has a little injury, he must carefully intervene and ask clearly, and he cannot make a decision based on the surface.

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Juan nodded with a smile. Of course he believed in Sir Alex, but he was a little worried. "Speaking of which, how is Cristiano doing now?"

"It's hard to say." Ferguson coughed lightly, "Why don't you call him yourself, maybe it's better for you two young people to communicate, he seems to have something on his mind recently."

"Okay." Although Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, Juan still answered.

Although Scholes can talk about these things within Manchester United, after all, Cristiano is still a relatively nostalgic person, especially Juan, who has given him a lot of care in the past, so he will be willing to do anything Say it to Juan.

But this time, it seems that Juan didn't wait for this person's call?

After chatting with Sir Alex for a while, Juan hung up the phone, checked the time and called Cristiano.

…I don’t know why, but he seems to communicate with most people by phone?

This is the case in Madrid and the UK. Sometimes even when Deportivo cannot face each other, he also communicates on the phone. Is this really good?

Juan was thinking helplessly, but before he could figure it out, the phone was picked up. Just as Juan was about to say something, he was shocked by the loud music on the phone in the next second. It almost went dark.

...? ? ?

what's the situation?

He looked at his phone subconsciously, and it was indeed Cristiano's number that he dialed?

The person on the phone said loudly, "Who is it?"

"..." Juan was silent for a while, and then said, "Are you playing?"

"That's right!" The person on the phone didn't seem to realize who was calling him. He muttered impatiently, his voice still loud: "Who are you? Don't tell me I hung up the phone!"

"Juan Diaz." Juan Bing's cold voice passed through the microphone. Although the music was loud, it couldn't stop the name from entering the eardrum.

Cristiano was dumbfounded on the spot. He opened his mouth wide and held the phone in front of him to take a look.

Really Juan! ?

"Uh, Juan! Wait for me, I'll go out to answer the phone right away..." He said loudly, and hurriedly got up to go to the bathroom to answer the phone, but at this moment, a few drunken girls with short eyes surrounded him, Wanting to make friends with this new Manchester star, Cristiano was a little bit at a loss for a while.

"..." Hearing the sweet voice on the phone, Juan sighed helplessly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and hung up the phone.

When Cristiano finally ran to the toilet to answer the call, the call was over, and an unread text message lay quietly on the interface of the phone, and he opened it with anxiety.

"Relax and pay attention to your injuries."

Subconsciously, he quickly dialed the phone, wanting to talk to Juan and explain by the way, but the line on the other end of the phone showed that it was busy, and it seemed that Juan was answering another call.

Forget it, anyway, Juan is very busy, so I'll call tomorrow.

With such an inexplicable sense of loss, Cristiano turned around and plunged into the atmosphere of the nightclub, but at this moment, it seemed that even the drinks seemed a bit dull.

Juan didn't know Cristiano's mood, he was indeed busy with many things.

For example, at night, his chairman actually called him specifically, and the first sentence was: "Juan, we are going to have a new stadium!!"

Juan was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out: "Where did the money come from?"

Deportivo has earned a lot this season, and it may even be the highest-earning team in the entire La Liga team, and there is no rush to pay off the debts outside, Deportivo still has a little surplus.

...However, this does not mean that they have the ability to change home.

It is expensive to renovate a stadium, which is the main reason why most clubs choose to expand the stadium seats instead of rebuilding a stadium.

And don't say anything else, just think about one of the most classic examples recently——

Arsenal.

They have a new pitch which is almost at the end of a refurbishment, which is several times the size of Highbury and is world-class in terms of the facilities, the security and the state of the turf.

Such a stadium is indeed very good, but at the same time, it also caused Arsenal to bear a terrible huge debt, and it is almost impossible to even get the money to buy players, and even need to sell some players to subsidize the family.

——In the next few years, Arsenal's board of directors sold several Gunners captains in a row, including Henry. In 07, the King of Highbury and Arsenal's legendary captain left with full Face tears reluctantly.

So when he heard that his chairman said that he wanted to change to a new stadium, Juan's first reaction was not to be happy, but to be vigilant.

Chairman, who are you trying to sell? ! !

He will never betray anyone!Now Deportivo's lineup is very good!He has no complaints about his lineup!

The chairman laughed: "It's ashamed to say that I also went to the government to try to apply for it. Who knows, I agreed right away. They are also willing to lend us money and say It's about believing in our abilities..."

What are you ashamed of? !

Juan rubbed his temples: "Are they carte blanche?"

"Not really, we need to pay a little money..."

"Chairman!"

"Huh?" The chairman was startled by Juan's sudden sound.

"I will work hard to make money, as well as the income of the team, I will also work hard to improve, and I will find more endorsements!"

"Ah, that's great...will it affect the game?"

"Under the premise of not affecting the game!" Juan took a deep breath, "So, don't think about selling anyone, okay?"

The chairman came back to his senses, he was still wondering at the beginning, why did Juan mention this suddenly, although he was very happy and right: "I never thought of selling anyone, don't worry."

"Really?" Juan was dubious.

"Of course it's true. Our main focus this season is to repay the debt. As long as we can repay almost half of the money, the debt of the new stadium can be borrowed. Then we can borrow money while building the stadium, and then continue to make money to repay the loan. ……what do you think?"

"..." Juan opened his mouth, hesitating a bit, "It's just as long as you like it."

He doesn't doubt his ability to make money. Deportivo is making a lot of money just selling jerseys at the moment, but he also knows the situation in Deportivo at the moment.

Now La Coruña's home stadium, Liasso Stadium, has only more than 3 seats. Every game is full of people watching. Most of the games throughout the season are hard to find. For such a situation, the entire board of directors is It was a pleasant surprise, so I am full of expectations for the new stadium.

But they overlooked one point.

——How much of the reason it is so popular now is because of the bosses?

Now the bosses are all too old. If they all retire, will the number of Deportivo fans decrease?

Although this question is a bit cruel, it is indeed the case. Most of Deportivo's soaring fans are not diehard fans of the team. Many of them are fans, so Juan is very worried about this.

But when he mentioned this, the chairman was very optimistic: "You mean most of them are fans of Redondo? Don't be afraid, come tomorrow and I will show you our attendance rate for this season, and you will understand what's going on. Yes! And as long as you are here, our team's attendance rate will not be low!"

"Thank you for your affirmation of my ability." Juan was full of gratitude. After all, he really didn't expect that his head coach believed in him so much!

"..." The chairman thought for a while, after all, his appearance is within the scope of his ability, and he is also very good-looking, isn't he?So he said happily: "Come on, young man, I believe in you!"

Juan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The debt is too deep. I don't want to embark on the road of repaying the debt at all, and I don't want to become the second Wenger."

"Don't worry, we will definitely find a solution!" The chairman laughed, "The stadium with 3 people is no longer enough!"

Juan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "As long as you are happy..."

"Let's work hard together for the future of La Coruña!!"

Facing the enthusiasm of the chairman, Juan replied calmly: "Okay."

Although he agreed, his heart was still heavy.

The amount required to build a pitch is enormous.

If they don't want to sell the naming rights of their own stadium to others in exchange for the amount of money to build the stadium like Arsenal, then Deportivo will have to work hard to make money.

A heavy burden like a mountain fell on him, and for a while, Juan was a little at a loss.

In the past, it didn't mean that he didn't make money, nor did he spend money. Since he had the courage to sell his family business in exchange for the position of vice chairman of La Coruña, he was not a coward.

He doesn't know whether this is good or bad, after all, it seems to be a bit early to consider building a new stadium.

After all, the season is not over yet, how embarrassing it would be if they didn't win a single championship?

Even for Arsenal, it was only after a long period of undefeated myths and winning the league championship in an undefeated manner that someone was willing to invest in them, so Deportivo has only this way now.

——They have to do better than Arsenal, so that the stingy Spanish government and other investors will be willing to invest in them and let them build a new stadium!

And now it is on the agenda. It is unscientific to just calculate the money for the construction of the stadium-although this is the largest part-but they still have to ask the district government for land use rights and the need to buy a large piece of land Huge fees, and a lot of money to get through.

There is also the most important thing for the sustainable development of La Coruña, the planning of the commercial area around the stadium.

Everything is very important and needs to be managed step by step. The chairman first notified him to let him have a mental preparation later.

There are many places to spend money in La Coruña, and it is not a flower like flowing water, but a flower like a flood!

Thinking of this, Juan felt a little heartache.

...Forget it, he sold himself to La Coruña, what else is there to say?

Because of what the chairman said about the establishment of the line court, Juan’s expression was very heavy in the next few days. Although he usually had no expression, it was the first time he saw such a serious expression. The players were a little scared up.

"Juan, what's bothering you?" Redondo raised his eyebrows and asked after a training session.

He didn't intend to come up to ask at the beginning, but the kids around him all looked at him with pleading eyes. He really had no choice but to come and ask about the situation.

"Hmm..." Juan, who was sitting on the coach's bench and meditating, raised his head subconsciously, his brows loosened when he saw the boss, and he hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "The chairman called me last night and said that he is going to build a new stadium. .”

New stadium?

Redondo was taken aback for a moment, and his reaction was quick: "Who do you want to sell?"

Obviously, Redondo is also an old man, and he is very clear about such routines.

Deportivo Deportivo owed a large amount of debt, but finally had some hope of repaying the debt, and wanted to build a new stadium.

But he didn't say this. After all, it was the club that was responsible for the death. He couldn't play for a long time at his age, so he didn't care about the life and death of the club itself at all.

He is just more concerned about the next player changes. After all, if he wants to play football, he cannot be alone. He must have someone to get along with, and these teammates are the people he wants to get along with.

"I knew it, boss, you have thought of this too." Juan smiled wryly and shook his head, "But what the chairman means is that you still listen to me on the issue of player candidates."

Even Redondo was a little surprised by such an answer. He really didn't expect it. After all, Deportivo has always been tight. Stadium, he thought their chairman would choose to sell people.

"If that's the case, why are you so sad?"

Juan sighed and waved his hand: "Boss, you don't know... All of this is based on the fact that Deportivo can make a lot of money. We are definitely not enough to build the stadium just by selling jerseys and peripherals. ...Well, but the normal operation of the supply club is about the same."

Redondo frowned: "How to solve it?"

"what?"

"How do we solve the money matter?" Redondo actually wanted to help Juan and Deportivo. After all, it was the end of his career. Although he didn't care much about the club, at least his football career In the last period of time, he still hoped that he could live a little more comfortably.

If he is not happy because of money, how aggrieved is he?

"The solution I can come up with is that we all work hard to make money. The team accepts endorsements, advertisements, etc. You see, after all, although we already have Adidas and Nike endorsements, we still have chest advertising areas. There is also a travel advertising area…”

When he said this, Juan wanted to sigh.

"However, the main solution to everything is to win at least one championship this season. If there is no championship, it is estimated that the new stadium plan can only be stranded to the ends of the earth."

Redondo nodded silently, turned around and went to training, Hu An didn't care, after all, Redondo had such a personality, but what he didn't know was that after today's training, all the people in La Coruña Everyone knew the news, so when he was blocked in the locker room by all the players, Juan was completely confused.

"...What's the situation?" He looked at the people around him, and then found Redondo through the crowd, "Boss?"

Redondo raised his chin at him, then shifted his gaze, and he shifted subconsciously, only to see Belleron whose face was full of sincerity.

——Speaking of which, Beleron is also a huge flower.

His salary level is extremely low, because he thinks that he can get so much. In the whole of La Coruña, only he and Juan have an annual salary of 20 million; he does not accept any endorsements, unless it is the team. The overall endorsement, because he doesn't like the feeling of being famous, what he likes most is playing football quietly.

In this regard, Belleron, Redondo, Riquelme and others have the same feeling, so they also sympathize with each other during the game.

Juan was silent for a while, feeling as if he should say something: "Bereron?"

Belleron took a deep breath: "Go ahead."

"???" Juan was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"Endorsement." Belleron said almost in a righteous tone, "As long as it can help the team, let's do it. No matter what the endorsement is, we will try our best to do it."

"..." Juan opened his mouth, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the boss again, but at this time the boss was already packing up his things as if nothing had happened, and he didn't mean to pay attention to Juan at all.

Seeing that Juan didn't seem to have any reaction, Belleron was a little anxious. He said quickly: "We all know, the boss has already told us, we are going to build a new stadium, right? If it can help the team , I’m willing to do whatever it is.”

"Me too..." "Me too..." "As long as it doesn't violate the moral bottom line..."

Juan helplessly stopped everyone's chatter: "First of all, thank you for your understanding and support. It would be great if everyone can understand. After all, I also know that our team There are a lot of people inside who really hate being in the spotlight and being surrounded by reporters..."

Valeron, Redondo, Riquelme, Aimar and others are all like this. They like to play football quietly instead of participating in any commercial activities, and for them, playing football is happier than doing these things too much.

However, when expressing their opinions, these people were also inside, and they also expressed their support for the team. Juan took a deep breath, held back the trembling in his heart, and said: "In terms of endorsements, I will carefully screen on behalf of everyone. I will never accept an endorsement that is too troublesome and may even affect our competition, and it is also to prevent us from doing things that corrupt morals..."

When they said this, several people laughed lightly, and Redondo on the side couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

"So, although there will be some increase in this aspect in the future, generally speaking, we still focus on the game, and everything must be compromised for the game-although we must work hard to make money, commercialize, and build new stadiums , but this does not mean that our game can be relaxed because of this.”

"We are La Coruña, aren't we?"

The soul of La Coruna - never admit defeat, never surrender, always forge ahead.

No matter how difficult the situation is now, all of them will not give up!

"Let's put aside the matter of the new stadium. After all, it's just a proposal at the moment. It still depends on everyone's efforts to turn it into a realizable part."

When he said this, the smile on Juan's face changed, and it took on a vicious taste.

"No matter what, it's a game to win!"

"Oh!!!"

——Now we adjust the time back to the eve of Chelsea's home game against Deportivo. Frank and Dean's "Deportivo Pre-Match Talk Show" is still going on, and they happened to discuss the new stadium.

"Suddenly remembered... have you heard that La Coruña is going to build a new stadium!"

"???" Dean was stunned for a moment, "La Coruña? Don't they owe a whole lot of debt? And there is no rich boss investing in them..."

"That's right, but their performance this season is so exciting and miraculous, there will naturally be investors who are willing to extend their hands to them." Frank is a little proud, this is the first time he said Something Dean didn't know was coming!

"So... is Deportivo going to follow in the footsteps of Arsenal?" Dean was a little worried. There are really many people in Deportivo's camp who are being stared at. As long as Juan lets go, these people Sure to be sold out fast!

"That's not it, do you think every team is as unlucky as Arsenal and Manchester United, and they run into owners who let the club make money and pay off their debts?" When he said this, Frank began to laugh, "I tell you , Deportivo are simply a breath of fresh air in football."

"?" Dean raised his eyebrows, "How?"

"...I'm afraid you don't know?" Frank held back his smile for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back. "The man who makes money in La Coruña is their second boss, Juan. He is not like those family businesses that are desperately squeezing the club. The young man shoulders the burden of making money by himself. As the boss, he works diligently and hard. At a young age, I put my entire family into it, tsk tsk tsk..."

Even Dean was speechless at this moment: "You mean, La Coruña is counting on Juan to bring everyone together to make money?"

"Yeah..." Frank sighed, "I don't know what to say. Do you think Juan Dias is a fool? He just took over such a big task... and the season It was the same at the beginning, An Jing stayed at Manchester United, wouldn't it be good to take over the Ferguson class directly after Sir Alex retired, but chose La Coruña, a challenge of hell level difficulty, is he a masochist? ?”

"It's not too bad to call him a catcher." Dean complained, "I don't know where he got the confidence to guarantee that his team can make so much money..."

"But Deportivo has actually made a lot of money this season." Frank coughed softly, "Not only the team's internal profits, they also made a lot of money from TV broadcasts, didn't they? Especially This match between Chelsea and Deportivo, according to our real-time statistics, the number of viewers is another small peak, huh?"

"And the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the broadcast fee is very high." Dean nodded in agreement. "La Coruña...it seems that he really wants to go to heaven."
