football's most handsome

Chapter 258 At the Coach Summit

Juan and his own captain solemnly entrusted him with this. Andrew looked around subconsciously. The atmosphere in the entire locker room was very good. Everyone was talking and laughing, and there was no sense of nervousness at all.

Is this what a normal locker room looks like?

Not nervous at all?

Allen patted his arm: "What's the matter, buddy?"

"I mean...why does everyone seem so relaxed?" Andrew hesitated, "Is it just because everyone has the chance to win this game, or has it always been like this?"

"It's always been like this, buddy." Allen coughed lightly, "Actually, you shouldn't be here at this time, after all, the locker room, you know... But Juan said that you are our staff now, so And let you in."

Andrew nodded appreciatively, in fact he didn't feel like he could be in the locker room at all when he came.

Thanks everyone!Thanks La Coruña!Thanks to Facebook for the sweepstakes! !

"And our little coach has always done things as he pleases. As long as it has nothing to do with the general direction, any rules are empty papers on him." Anything can happen, so don't be too careless."

Andrew nodded blankly.

When there was laughter in the locker room, there was peace outside the stadium. The fans at the Riazor Stadium also knew that the victory belonged to their own family, so they sang happily. The fans of Atletico Madrid came less often and felt aggrieved Nothing can be said in the corner.

"Let me be honest...During the first half, Deportivo was a bit unreasonable." Dean squinted his eyes and said, "And didn't we discuss it before?"

Frank nodded: "Sure enough, Kaka is Deportivo's ace weapon. We thought so when he didn't play in the first game!"

"It's not just Kaka!" Dean smiled. "Everyone, pay attention to the change of Deportivo's formation! In the last game, didn't they rotate the midfielder to go forward? I know now, In fact, the tactic is still the same as the previous game, but the three midfielders in the last game are all replacing Kaka's position now."

"what?"

"Yes, I am almost sure now that Kaka did not play in the last game. There is no midfielder in Deportivo who can organize, attack and speed like Kaka, so that The three of them have to rotate forward to simulate the tactics. It is estimated that Kaka did not play in the first game because the tactics have not yet formed."

Dean was very sure that Deportivo's intentions this time were too obvious!

"But... Is Juan Diaz the type that makes it easy for people to guess what he wants to do?" Frank coughed lightly, hinting at his partner—don't forget last season's At that time, how did his title of "Tactical Encyclopedia" be broken by Juan.

"I know, but I think I guessed right this time!" Dean was sure, he didn't believe that Deportivo would give a shocking situation every time! !

"..." Frank looked at his partner secretly with sympathy.

He had witnessed just how unlucky his partner was... In the end, he had only been on vacation for three months, had he forgotten it? ?

Soon the intermission was over, and players from Deportivo and Atletico Madrid lined up to play one after another. Torres subconsciously glanced in the direction of Juan Diaz, but he happened to see Juan also in his eyes. Looking here, the two looked at each other, and Juan smiled at him.

"...?" Torres was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head away from looking in Juan's direction, but cast his gaze forward.

He really didn't have the face to look at Juan, after all, he was the first to plead for mercy...

Torres was immersed in his own shame, and he didn't notice the trace of guilt and guilt in Juan's smile.

Nino my brother, I've tried my best, but how the players behave on the pitch is completely out of my control, just ask yourself...

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two sides were calm for a while. Andrew thought that what Juan said had worked, but when he was about to communicate with the staff on one side, he heard the big man on the bench. He muttered something, sounding a little nervous.

Andrew listened carefully.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

"???" Andrew was taken aback, what's coming soon?

Pompons also noticed the doubts of the die-hard fan beside him, but he didn't say much, he just coughed and pointed to the field. Andrew looked over and happened to see the person he was pointing at.

No. 22 stands tall with his back tightly pursed, with a serious expression, like a handsome young man.

Andrew sighed in his heart, only to hear Pompons beside him say in an astonishing tone: "Just wait and see, Kaka is not so easy to be persuaded."

???

In the eyes of Andrew and even most people who know Kaka, Kaka is definitely a five-hearted young man, and he is very kind. Then Kaka is really very likely not to score a goal in the second half, which is a belief in his character.

Naturally, Pompons also saw the doubt on his face, and coughed lightly.

"He himself can't score goals, but no one said he can't pass the ball..." Kaka's organization is also very evil, which everyone knows.

"???" Andrew was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and stared at the court.

Sure enough, No. 22, who was standing there quietly, started to move. He ran to the middle of the road almost instantly. At the beginning, the person standing in the middle was not him, but Belleron, but Belleron Long withdrew his position to make room for Deportivo's new midfielder.

And Kaka becomes unstoppable once he has room to activate.

Juan kept his eyes on the movement on the court, not just Kaka alone, but also the backcourt. He knew that if they cooperated, the three of Rui Costa, Figo and Kaka would definitely have to play together. Getting used to each other, and the three of them have to get used to the way La Coruña works at the same time...

Obviously, the latter is more important than the former. If the three of them really can't be integrated, Hu Press guesses that he will choose two lineups, which is completely fine like the current situation.

In the two games, although the opponents are Atletico Madrid, there may be no comparison, but Atletico Madrid itself is a relatively strong player. No one in La Liga can compete with them except Real Sociedad and Sevilla. Putting it all together, if they can go two rounds under the hands of Atletico Madrid, then most of the teams in La Liga will probably be able to survive.

Besides, there are no derby targets in La Coruna. They are the only La Liga team in the entire city of La Coruna, and the national derby has a lot of political elements, and Deportivo is obviously not mixed. of……

So if it is calculated, they can completely protect themselves in the entire La Liga, and leave the hatred to Real Madrid and Barcelona...

The second half of the game did not end peacefully. Kaka did not score a goal as agreed, and Belleron was obviously trying to control the situation. The opposite Atletico Madrid came just like the first half, and it was unbearable. Resisting, the captain of Deportivo responded with passive tactics.

Why do you have to fight your opponent to the death in a game that is guaranteed to win?

This is so boring.

Of course, Kaka obviously didn't think so. He was very meticulous on the court. Although he didn't score a goal, Atletico Madrid was frightened by several runs and passes. Torres even ran back and forth and felt that his leg was about to break.

He is a striker, why does he need to do defense? ? ?

Of course, Torres doesn't know that he, who is now called the "Golden Boy", will have such a dumbfounding title as "Iron Guard" in the future. Anyway, he subconsciously wants to look at Kaka at this moment. I wanted to glared at him several times, but when I looked over, I lost all anger.

I have to say that both Kaka and Torres are the kind of opponents who make people feel happy just looking at them. After all, their appearance and personality are here. Obviously, the two of them have the same evaluation of each other.

And Kaka really didn't intend to shoot at all, so this didn't violate the rules, did it?Although his few passes made Torres almost out of his wits...

Of course, Juan also discovered Kaka's bad taste on the court, but at the moment it is just a Super Cup. Although it can be regarded as a cup, Juan himself and Deportivo do not value it very much. , since the winning ticket is already in hand, it doesn't matter how the players play on the field...

And to be honest, Kaka showed such a presumptuous attitude at the moment, instead of being polite, it was a good thing for Deportivo—this at least proved that Kaka had initially accepted Isn't it La Coruña?

Juan also inquired about Kaka's situation from Rui Costa and Ancelotti in private, and of course he also had a little understanding of Kaka's character.

...Of course, now he vaguely feels that what these people say about "clever and clever" seems to have another meaning, but it doesn't matter, knowing from others is not as good as experiencing it yourself!

With such a tolerant attitude, the young coach of Deportivo returned to the coaching bench and sat down, ready to see how far the players can free me before the start of the season. Shut your mouth and cough lightly: "Boss..."

"?" Juan turned his head, and finally met a face with a flattering smile, "...what's the matter?"

"Ahem, look, since you have said that you want to save face for Atletico Madrid in the second half, why don't we all go up and take a few steps when we are young?" When Pampons said this Very cautiously, Juan was silent for a while and glanced at the little guys in the back row. Everyone shrank their necks, and only Messi stared at the court very attentively.

"It seems that you all really want football during a holiday?" Juan laughed, but got a strong nod from most of the people. Quaresma held back his laughter. He played in the first game, so this will Er doesn't have that much need to play, but he will definitely be there in the troublesome things!

"The next game against Sevilla, I will send the three best players on the field, among you." Juan said, paused intentionally, "Including the goalkeeper."

"????" Lux and Navas, who were watching the game, were stunned. The two looked at each other and looked at Juan.

Generally speaking, goalkeepers are the most likely to be fully present in a season. Last season, although Lukes did not have no chances to play, they were very few, let alone Navas, but he also knew his age. Small, so An'an is the second goalkeeper of the reserve team, working hard to consolidate his skills.

Juan didn't even know if this kid would play again, but he said it casually, after all, he was looking forward to this kid's energy.

——What's more, if you can't play now, isn't there a future?

Even Juan Avatar Dias did not expect that this "later" came so quickly. In this season, Kailor Navas ushered in the His Champions League start for Deportivo...

Andrew watched thoughtfully from the sidelines. At the beginning, he had no idea at all, he just wanted to come to the pilgrimage, but after Juan mentioned "writing a book" to him, he was there almost all the time. Thinking about this matter, especially when he vaguely realized that this seemed to be his future path.

Now, looking at this little coach who is much younger than him sitting here, he relaxed and inspired a group of younger people, burning his youth and vitality unscrupulously, making him who was a little confused about his future They all seem to have found a way.

He squeezed his hands tightly, took a deep breath to calm his agitated mood, and then turned his head to look at the court.

There was almost no suspense in the second half of the game. Morientes and Portillo each scored a goal in the second half. The two of them didn't feel anything. They only felt that Torres' eyes seemed extraordinarily hot today...

After the game, Andrew's trip to Deportivo came to an end. Juan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, the last experience."

"?" Andrew was pulled up. At this time, the players had already grabbed the trophy and were about to take pictures with the whole team. Andrew was quickly pulled over by everyone, and Juan, who didn't want to be photographed, was also forcibly pulled stuffed into the screen.

So such a strange scene appeared-the entire Deportivo team excitedly took pictures around the trophy, and everyone looked beaming.

Except for Andrew, who was standing on the side with a look of astonishment, and Juan Diaz himself, who had a stinky face.

This is the end of Andrew's miraculous journey. However, Deportivo has just started this season. After taking the Spanish Super Cup into the bag, Deportivo is non-stop preparing for the next European Super Cup.

Speaking of this game, Juan himself is full of complaints - after all, Deportivo's opponent is the European Cup champion Sevilla, and their two La Liga teams will go to the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, France to play together. is it easy?

Moreover, this stadium is smaller than Riazor and can only accommodate 18500 people. It is completely impossible to generate income!

For such a loud but meaningless cup game, Juan himself couldn't even get excited. Sevilla on the opposite side was very strong and played with all their strength.

Deportivo's young coach carefully compared the momentum and gains and losses between his own team and Sevilla, and finally said: When everyone goes up to play football, safety comes first, friendship comes second, and competition comes third...

Fortunately, although Sevilla is stronger than Atletico Madrid, they are reasonable, and the opponent's coach has no opinion on Deportivo, and the game ended peacefully.

Caparros found Juan after the game and asked him if he would attend the coaching summit in a few days. Juan froze for a moment: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just looking forward to it..." Caparros laughed when he heard what he said, his expression looked like something, Juan just wanted to find out more about the situation, but Caparros swayed He waved his hands, hummed a song and left. He seemed to be in a very good mood, not at all like he had lost the game.

Juan looked at his back and tightened his brows.

What to expect?

What else can the coaching summit come up with?

Juan knew about the coaching summit a long time ago, and he also learned about it from his two mentors.

According to UEFA's arrangement, at the beginning of September every year - during the first international match day of the new season, players will return to the national team, and the best club coaches in Europe will gather at the UEFA headquarters in Switzerland for the annual At the coaching summit, his mentor Ferguson, as the chairman of the conference, will give a welcome speech to the coaches invited to the summit at the beginning.

Juan really couldn't imagine that under such a major premise, there would be something exciting to watch.

However, he soon realized that he was wrong, very wrong.

When he went there that day, he carefully tidied himself up. After all, he was going to meet a group of seniors. However, after arriving at the scene, he found that there seemed to be a little bit of a sense of disobedience at his age. ?

And from the moment he stepped into the venue, he was already surrounded by all kinds of sights, but when he wanted to concentrate on looking for it, he only saw a group of people talking and laughing happily.

???

Juan finds it very strange, but he also knows that the coaches have their own small circle - although they are usually rivals, they are colleagues after all, so at least today, they are restrained. In addition to the crazy appearance on the side of the court, he looks like handsome uncles in suits and leather shoes, as well as a kind and kind old man.

...Of course, everyone is entertaining each other with a half-hearted smile at the moment, and there must be all kinds of slander in their hearts.

Now you are pretending to be a decent person, who doesn't know what you usually look like on the sidelines of the court?

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, the appearance of Juan Diaz is very inappropriate.

First of all, no one can see through this person. Anyway, these uncles and uncles have been on the sidelines of the court for 30 to [-] years. Who doesn't know who the other party is?

But this kid has been standing on the edge of the court for two full years, even old foxes like them can't see through this kid's routine.

And... In normal times, this kid can't live like a human being at all!

Of course, it’s not a derogatory term to say this, it’s just that no matter how good or bad the coaches are, they have something that can make people feel human. "Pedophile", the arrogance and arrogance of Jose Mourinho.

To put it another way, these coaches have "black spots", allowing fans to complain, and then complain about the team where the head coach is. Of course, this will make people feel more friendly, and many dead Loyal fans were born from complaints.

And Juan Diaz?

Whether it is traveling or in daily life, he almost demands himself with meticulousness and perfect behavior. At least in front of the public camera and in the eyes of all fans, he has almost nothing to talk about, or even borrow. Let's talk about the team.

...If I have to say it, is he really good at eating snacks on the side of the court?

Of course, such a point, apart from people complaining about him as "like a child asking for snacks with his mother", did not produce any relevant remarks about the team itself. Know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Juan himself knew that this was not a solution, but he didn't have a good solution, so he planned to take this time to ask his teacher to see if he could come up with a solution.

Now the whole hall is looking at him with a very strange and hidden gaze. He himself is not afraid of this kind of gaze, but after a long time, he will also have a strange feeling, so he thought for a while and decided Start going directly to your own teachers.

Finding Ferguson was not a very difficult task.

The Red Devils coach is the boss of the entire dressing room when he is on the sidelines, the king of Manchester United. He is the most feared opponent during the game, but it has to be said that in such an occasion, he turns into a cheerful and talkative person. , A happy old man like Santa Claus.

Ferguson is very good at words, and at the same time he is also very good at grasping the atmosphere and becoming the center of the whole topic. At this moment, there are many people standing around him listening to his speech, and from time to time there is a burst of light laughter. It is obvious that the conversation is interesting at this moment. It's thick.

Juan glanced at the situation inside from the outside, and felt that it would be better not to step forward - he also knew a few people there, and the bigwigs from UEFA were there. Think it's a trend?

But Juan hadn't had time to leave, and he was spotted by the lord just by moving a little-no way, Juan Diaz was too conspicuous here, in fact, he was just approaching here At that time, Sir Alex had already noticed him.

Amongst a bunch of uncle-level or even grandfather-level coaches who are less than 180, suddenly there is such a handsome tall young man, no matter who will notice it, okay?

At the beginning, the Sir was waiting for him to come forward, but what he didn't expect was that after the kid glanced at the situation inside, he turned his head and wanted to leave without hesitation. The Sir was a little surprised to see him like this Yes, and immediately called the person back.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention was immediately shifted to Juan. Juan stepped forward bravely, almost saying hello and shaking hands all the way in.

——I have to emphasize again, although everyone here knows who is who, but at least they do a good job on the surface, and they all look gentle and gentle like gentlemen.

After typing in such a circle of greetings, Juan took a deep breath and hugged Sir Alex: "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time, young man. You did a great job last season." Sir Alex hugged him with a smile. Juan's performance last season was really amazing, which is why the people around him always looked at him with weird eyes. For his sake.

"Indeed, I don't think any of us won the Triple Crown in the first season, right?" One of the coaches said with a smile, Juan could barely make out what he was saying by listening to his accent, and at the same time was a little surprised narrowed his eyes.

...Same Scottish accent as Sir Alex?

"Hasn't gotten off to a good start," sighed another, "I started my career coaching an amateur team down the street that didn't have a single player who could play. .”

"Aha, I'm slightly better than you, I started my career in the regional league."

"That's right... Ferguson also started with a Championship team, which is the best start among us!"

"But it's still not as good as Dias. It was a La Liga team at the beginning, and it was also a top eight team in the Champions League... Even Real Madrid has been in the top sixteen these years."

"Yeah yeah……"

Hearing the sarcasm, praise and derogation around him, Juan smiled slightly and coughed lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, seniors, I only did a little work last season, mainly due to Rendoiro The chairman has given me great support."

"I heard that you are the one who decides your team?" Someone asked.

"It's not a decision, it's just a decision on player transfer." Juan's expression was very calm, and there was even a spring-like smile on his face. Looking at him now, Ferguson's first reaction was to be lighthearted. Cough—hold back a laugh.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, Juan glanced over, and even the expressions on the faces of many people in front of him were distorted for a moment.

"Ahem, everyone." Sir Sir immediately said, cutting off what these people wanted to say next, "Dias and I haven't seen each other for a while, I want to have a few words with him..."

Everyone expressed their understanding and made room for them. Seeing their figures leaving at an accelerated pace, Sir Sir couldn't hold back in the end, sneered and shook his head: "They..."

"My lord." Juan called out softly, and the lord turned his head and patted him lovingly on the shoulder: "It's okay, Juan, they just couldn't think about it for a while... After all, most of them didn't know each other in their entire lives. You have won one championship, and you won three top awards in one breath in the first season of coaching, it is difficult for them to accept it now, don't blame them..."

When he said that, there was some embarrassment on his face.

These are people who have dedicated their lives in football, but most of these people have never won a championship. This is unavoidable-after all, there is only one championship.

As the head coach of Manchester United who has dominated the Premier League for many years, Ferguson can be considered to understand the thoughts of those people now. To be honest, I saw a lot of such distorted faces when I was young.

It's just that these people have to be a little more unbalanced when facing the young man Juan Diaz.

Juan was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "I know."

In fact, what he wants to say is that these people are envious and jealous a little early, and then there is an active player named Josep Guardiola, who has a higher starting point than him, and his achievements in a season are even more incredible than him ...

But this person is still in service, um.

Juan knew that no one would believe what he said now, but anyway, in the next few years, these coaches will feel the real shadow...

"But according to the chronological order, shouldn't there be another coach Mourinho in front?" Juan coughed lightly.

"He's not as young as you, and it's not the first season. Also, he's not easy to mess with." Ferguson looked at him with a very meaningful look.

"..." Juan raised his eyebrows, "I look like the kind of person who is easy to bully?"

"Many head coaches feel that the older ones are more difficult to deal with." Ferguson said implicitly-such as him, Wenger, and Mourinho in comparison.

And everyone knows Mourinho's temper, that guy is a powder keg that explodes at one point, and no one knows what can piss people off from his mouth, so it is very difficult to dare to provoke such a madman. At least, unless it is an opponent who has already decided, bite the bullet and say a few words to each other.

To be honest, in the entire Premier League, no, or in other words, in the entire football world, the only one who can fight against him is Ferguson. Even Wenger, Ancelotti and others just use soft policies to make him lose his energy. As a messenger, he punched the cotton, suffocating himself to death.

Of course, in many cases, Mourinho's spicy words made them want to vomit blood.

——Compared to Mourinho, Juan Dias is indeed much more polite!

Juan never expected that it was because of this reason, so he was helpless for a while and then stopped thinking about it.It is indeed like what Sir Alex said, at such a young age, he has already won the championship that many people have never been able to win in their lifetime, so why not let others be jealous?

"Speaking of which, is Mourinho coming today?" Juan raised his eyebrows and asked, Ferguson coughed lightly, with a smile in his eyes: "Of course, I'm still looking forward to his coming."

"???" Juan was taken aback, "Why?"

"There will be a good show at that time." Ferguson laughed. At this moment, the Red Devils coach is like an old urchin. "Be careful, don't get involved!"

"???" Juan stared blankly, "And my business?"

"Of course it's your business. You killed Arsenal and Chelsea last season. Do you think Wenger and Mourinho don't want to find you?" Ferguson laughed, "But on this occasion, Wenger Ge will not say anything, this old boy loves face, you just need to pay attention to Mourinho."

Juan was speechless.

To be honest, he only came here because he missed his mentor, and he also wanted to hear about the experience and ideas of these world's top coaches over the years. Who knew that such a thing would happen when he came here?

No wonder Caparros said "looking forward", so he was waiting to watch this scene?

Juan was a little bit dumbfounded, the lord patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you will probably be able to avoid it if you sit in the front seat. After all, I am giving the speech, neither of them will sit in the front... And Mourinho isn't here yet."

"???"

"He probably has a training class or something, anyway, it's all kinds of excuses." Ferguson waved his hand casually, "But he will definitely come. Last season, he won the league championship five rounds ahead of schedule. It's impossible not to come and show off." It's him."

Juan nodded, deeply convinced.

Those two games against Chelsea can be said to be the most difficult encounters for Deportivo last season, both for him and for the players. Last season, there were so many Premier League goals Team, Juan also felt that there was really no one left.

...If this season comes again, even he may have to doubt the fairness of the lottery.

But this time was still the time for chatting at the beginning. Sir Alex gave him a few more words, and then took him to meet other people. UEFA President Blatter smiled and stretched out his hand when he saw him: "Juan Dias...I can assure you that you are the youngest head coach I've ever given an award to over the years."

He was talking about the Champions League, and Juan shook his hand with a few words of humility, while slandering him in his heart.

——Brother, you have said this sentence more than once in public.

Under the leadership of Ferguson, Juan got to know a lot of people, but it was a pity that coach Scolari did not come, otherwise he would be able to sit with Scolari to bolster his courage.

However, when he sat down, Juan realized how naive he was.

He chose a seat in the front row, which was indeed very front row, with no one on either side. Originally, when Juan thought he could just be so contented, he sat down beside him alone.

From the corner of Juan's eyes, he saw a trace of silver-white hair. He originally thought it was some grandpa's head coach, but when he turned around, he subconsciously stiffened.

Arsene Wenger.

... Well, he is indeed a senior head coach.

Juan suddenly felt that it was very unscientific, obviously the man the Sir said would not sit in the front! !

Wenger obviously came to him on purpose. Seeing him turn his head and nodded politely at him, although Juan was a little surprised, his expression didn't change at all, and he just nodded at him.

At this time, Sir Alex was already sitting on it and was about to start speaking. Wenger whispered, "Mr. Dias, are you free later?"

Juan opened his mouth, finally nodded silently, then turned his head a little stiffly, and stared at the Sir on the stage.

At the same time, the lord also noticed Juan's burning gaze. He was wondering what was wrong, but when he saw the person sitting next to him, he coughed lightly and turned his gaze away with a guilty conscience.

...It shouldn't be, according to his understanding of this old opponent, it is impossible for him to sit in the front at this time!

However, since he had already sat down at this time, it was difficult for him to say anything, so he could only try his best to ignore Juan's almost accusing gaze from the audience, and started to speak as if nothing had happened.

Juan's mood is very agitated now.

To be honest, he likes to watch the excitement, and also likes to go to the theater, but if he becomes that actor, it won't make people happy...

Fortunately, Wenger is still a talkative and polite person. If Mourinho is by his side, Juan can't even imagine what the scene will be...

However, there is a saying in the world, what you are afraid of will come, and there is a saying that no coincidence is not a book.

Mourinho was belatedly arriving as Ferguson dignitaries began to welcome the coaches invited to the summit.He came in a hurry, and after searching, he found that the entire venue was almost full, and the only seat he saw at a glance was an empty seat in the front row.

Under the attention of the audience, he came to the side of Juan in three steps and two steps, and asked in a low voice if he could sit on the vacant seat next to him.

Juan froze.
