The Glory of the Godfather

What do you think about the King's Cup? the fat man asked Fang Jue.

The King's Cup? Fang Jue was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Li Zihua, Miss Papa and Miss Roberta looking at him expectantly, he smiled, You don't think you have any thoughts about the King's Cup, do you?

Fang Jue was very surprised. He didn't understand who gave Fatty the courage to try to win the Copa del Rey. Fang Jue had confidence in his team, but that was only limited to the second league. With Visa's state and strength, he is certain to hit the goal of La Liga, but, um, Copa del Rey?

It is very difficult to move forward, and Ibiza does not currently have the strength to fight on two fronts. Fang Jue told the truth, not to mention continuing to advance in the Copa del Rey, it is about to meet in the top 16 Spain, this is a very powerful enemy. The current third place in La Liga, with only one point less points than Barcelona, ​​is such a powerful opponent, it is difficult for Ibiza to move.

The fat man showed a slightly disappointed expression.

Hey, hey, don't you really want to? Fang Jue raised his voice and said.

I have this idea. Fatty sighed, But, you are right, I am a little wishful thinking.

Why did you suddenly have this idea? Fang Jue asked curiously. The club has never made any demands on the Copa del Rey. Why did they suddenly think of doing something in the Copa del Rey?

The team just eliminated Huelva, which made me have unrealistic ideas. The fat man sighed, If we can really continue to advance in the King's Cup, let alone win the championship, we will reach the semi-finals, no, Even reaching the quarter-finals will be of great help to the expansion of Ibiza's club image and influence.

Fang Jue was silent for the time being. To reach the quarterfinals, he needed to kill the Spaniard. He was really not sure. In fact, after the fifth round of the Copa del Rey was confirmed to be the Spaniard, the Copa del Rey was no longer in Fang Jue's hands. It was within the plan. In fact, when facing the La Liga team Huelva in the fourth round, Fang Jue faced the Copa del Rey with an attitude of indifference. Focusing on all energy to upgrade is Fang Jue's primary goal. , This can also be seen from the two rounds of Ibiza facing Huelva, Fang Jue is the choice of a large rotation, but I did not expect Huelva to take an even more complete abandonment attitude towards the Copa del Rey than Fang Jue , Ibiza, who was almost a substitute lineup, easily got rid of Huelva and advanced.

Obviously, eliminating Huelva and reaching the top 16 of the King's Cup gave the club's top management a signal, or an illusion, that they actually had ideas and ambitions for the King's Cup.

...

Every step forward in the Copa del Rey, the club can promise to use all the bonuses they receive as transfer fees, Fatty said.

Fang Jue's eyes lit up first, but he didn't express his opinion. Instead, he asked directly, So far, we have reached the top 16. How much bonus did we get in the King's Cup?

Two hundred thousand dollars. The fat man said with some embarrassment.

Fang Jue was a little confused. He hadn’t done much research on the Copa del Rey at all. He was shocked when he heard the amount of 200,000 US dollars. Ibiza started playing in the second round of the Copa del Rey and now reached the fifth round of the Copa del Rey. The second and third rounds were a decisive match, and the fourth round was a two-round knockout match. After playing four games and passing three levels in a row, there was only a prize of 200,000 US dollars. Not to mention anything else, just this It's a tasteless bonus, no wonder those tycoons in La Liga don't pay much attention to the Copa del Rey.

Of course, this account is not calculated in this way. The 200,000 U.S. dollars Ibiza received is just a bonus. In addition, every step forward in the Copa del Rey, one more game played, ticket revenue, broadcast fees, etc. is paid.

The total prize money of the King's Cup this season is 7.5 million U.S. dollars. Ms. Roberta explained, The champion gets the most prize money share. We have calculated that the champion can get 1.2 million U.S. dollars, of which 700,000 U.S. dollars It was issued by the Spanish Football Association, and the Spanish royal family will also give a check for half a million dollars, and the champion team will be summoned by the royal family at the palace.

Fang Jue shook his head. He really didn't like the money. For the transfer fee of 1.2 million US dollars, he went shopping in the King's Cup, but he met Waterloo in the league in the last two battles. In this case, He is absolutely not allowed to appear.

kindness? Fang Jue himself laughed too, subconsciously thinking that Ibiza is qualified to win the King's Cup, it seems that his subconscious mind is really a bit drifting.

...

It's more than that. Miss Papa said, With the Copa del Rey champion, the team can qualify for the UEFA Cup next season, and the club's revenue from advertising and television will skyrocket. Most importantly, the team's influence It will be greatly improved, and...

And what?

Besides, being able to play in Europe will be attractive for the team to attract big players. Ms. Roberto added, I contacted through a friend at the top of the Chelsea club and she promised to help us persuade Makelele to join. , although the Frenchman still prefers to join Paris Saint-Germain, but he no longer completely refuses to join Ibiza. In addition, the most important factor that made Makelele hesitate to join Paris is Paris. Saint-Germain is currently only ranked in the middle of the Ligue 1 league, and it is difficult to qualify for the European competition next season. If we can qualify for the European competition next season, I believe it will be very helpful in convincing Makelele to join.”

Fang Jue didn't speak, he tapped his fingers on the table lightly, he was thinking.

I still can't promise anything in the Copa del Rey. Fang Juehe calmly said, However, I will try to devote as much energy as possible in the Copa del Rey without affecting the league results, but—

Fang Jue's expression was serious, Once I think that the two-line battle situation may affect the results of the league, I will give up the King's Cup without hesitation!

Yes, yes! The fat man immediately smiled and said with an expectant expression. Miss Papa also looked at Fang Jue with appreciation and love, and only Ms. Roberta showed surprise and scrutiny.

Hey, hey, I didn't promise anything. Fang Jue said, looking at the fat man's happy face.

No, no, you don't need to promise anything. As long as you have this attitude, I will be very happy and relieved. The fat man said.

You guys have so much confidence in me? Fang Jue shrugged.

Yes. It was Miss Papa who spoke, and the fat man just laughed.

Fang Jue also smiled and said nothing more. To be honest, the champion of the Copa del Rey is still very attractive. This will greatly help Ibiza expand its influence. In addition, the European war, especially the European war, Just thinking about it makes Fang Jue's heart surge.

Of course, he was just thinking about it. He didn’t overpower himself. His plan was to take one step at a time. The Copa del Rey is not easy to win. Ibiza’s strength and lineup are not enough to undertake such a big goal. The biggest possibility is that they will still be eliminated. If they are unlucky, they may be eliminated by the Spaniards in the top sixteen.

However, there is still a dream, just in case...

...

After talking about the important topic of the Copa del Rey, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Fang Jue, how is the team's progress in introducing a substitute striker? Fatty asked.

There's not much progress. Fang Jue shook his head. It's hard to find a suitable signing target in the winter transfer. Moreover, we still have to introduce a substitute, which is even more difficult.

I do have a suggestion. The fat man said, Before you came, I had a preliminary discussion on this matter with Miss Karina and Ms. Roberta.

Tell me. Fang Jue immediately showed a vigilant expression. He is very sensitive to transfer power.

Have you considered bringing in a Chinese player from China? Fatty asked.
