The Glory of the Godfather

After the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final between Ibiza and Racing Santander.

In the 2007/2008 season, the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey were all produced.

Ibiza eliminated Racing Santander, the sixth place in La Liga, with a total score of 6-5 and reached the semi-finals.

The other three teams that entered the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey are from La Liga, namely La Liga giants Barcelona and Valencia, and Getafe from Madrid.

According to the schedule, Ibiza's opponent in the semifinals is Barcelona, ​​while Valencia will compete with Getafe for a place in the final.

Ibiza reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, which made the Ibiza club executives very excited. However, facing Barcelona in the semi-finals was like pouring cold water on everyone's excitement.

Obviously, it is too difficult for Ibiza to eliminate Barcelona in the two rounds of the semi-finals and enter the final.

The Catalan media Daily Sport even congratulated Barcelona in advance after the results of the Copa del Rey semi-final came out. word description.

World Sports News praised Ibiza and Fang Jue, thinking that the young Chinese head coach led the team to the Spanish King's Cup for the first time and reached the semi-finals, which created a miracle.

You see, this is the language art of the media. At first glance, this report praises Fang Jue and Ibiza, but take a closer look at the subtext: Ibiza met Barcelona in the semi-finals, and the good luck ends here.

...

Even the local media in Ibiza are pessimistic about Ibiza's prospects in the semi-finals. They also think that Ibiza's magical Copa del Rey trip is over. Of course, these local media in Ibiza did not What twists and turns is the subtext, they are really happy and proud that Ibiza can reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Even Marca, which has a fairly good relationship with Ibiza and Fang Jue, expressed regret that Ibiza's luck was really bad when it met Barcelona, ​​but, reaching the semi-finals, They are also proud enough.

The only two media that have firmly expressed their confidence in Ibiza's continued miracles are almost recognized media licking dogs. Of course, there are still differences if you carefully distinguish them. Fang Jue's licking dog, and the Catalan Evening News, the newspaper is not a supporter of Ibiza and Fang Jue, but they have the famous reporter Mr. Fernando who licks the dog.

The front page of the Sunday Telegraph is very provocative: the omnipotent coach Fang Jue has created so many miracles, why can't he continue to create miracles?

However, Mr. Fernando can proudly say, Lick Fang Jue, he is the most professional when it comes to the quality and ability of licking dogs. The reporter even listed that Ibiza will definitely eliminate Barcelona and advance to the final. We can translate these ten reasons, which roughly mean: first, Ibiza has Fang Jue; second, coach Fang Jue is very good; third, coach Fang Jue is too good; Fourth, Coach Fang Jue is omnipotent, and fifth... In short, he is extremely flattering.

Fernando felt that it was too difficult for him. He suppressed the disgusting feeling and tried his best to say such flattering words. He even secretly bet 1,000 euros at the betting shop to buy Ibiza to advance to the final in order to find the feeling. For the sake of the thousand euros, he had to say these words against his will. However, Fernando felt very strange. He wondered if it was the psychological effect brought about by the betting of the thousand euros. Visa can eliminate Barcelona, ​​but you really think that bastard is very powerful?

I must be crazy.

All this is an illusion, all caused by that thousand euros.

...

Fang Jue was also dissatisfied with Ibiza's encounter with Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final.

If possible, he is of course more willing to meet Getafe in the semi-finals, and then he also hopes that Ibiza can meet Barcelona in the final.

This is not because Ibiza is not sure to pass the barrier of Barcelona now. It will be like a gods help in the final. If one of them can qualify for the UEFA Champions Cup or the UEFA Cup by virtue of their performance and ranking in the league, the runner-up of the Copa del Rey will automatically qualify for the UEFA Cup, which should belong to the champion. With Barcelona's strength, no The La Liga champion is the runner-up and will definitely qualify for the UEFA Champions Cup. Therefore, if Ibiza does not meet in the semi-finals but meets in the final, Ibiza will automatically qualify for the UEFA Cup as long as they reach the final.

And now, Ibiza met Barcelona in the semi-finals, which can be said to be the worst situation for Ibiza.

First of all, Ibiza has to cross the mighty Barcelona, ​​which can be called hell mode.

In addition, the other semi-final is between Valencia and Getafe, and Getafe is currently ranked tenth in La Liga. It is difficult to qualify for the European war through the ranking of La Liga. Apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Valencia, which has the most outstanding performance in the past ten years, is in a worse situation now. Their ranking in La Liga is even behind Getafe, ranking eleventh in the league. , although Valencia's strength on paper is still very strong, but looking at the current situation, it is difficult to say that Valencia can rely on La Liga rankings to qualify for the European war. Therefore, the current situation in Ibiza is that if they want to win next season To qualify for the UEFA Cup, they not only have to kill the mighty Barcelona in the semi-finals, but also beat Valencia or Getafe in the final.

Of course, it's too early to talk about the Copa del Rey championship. The first thing Ibiza will face is the semi-final with Barcelona!

...

Ronaldinho called Fang Jue to congratulate Ibiza on reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

It's really unimaginable. A year ago, you were still setting up a stall as a hawker, and now you have led the team to the semi-finals of the King's Cup. Ronaldinho sighed.

He is the master of communication of intangible cultural heritage of the United Nations. Fang Jue corrected, and then he heard Ronaldinho's laughter.

What are you laughing at? Fang Jue himself was also amused, he said, We still have to eliminate Barcelona and reach the final.

Hey, hey, it's daytime now, don't dream. Ronaldinho yelled.

It's not easy to play in Barcelona with you, but now...hehehe. Fang Jue said with a smile.

Ronaldinho on the other end of the phone was a little silent.

In 2004 and 2005, Ronaldinho won the World Footballer for two consecutive years, and in 2005 he also won the European Ballon d'Or award. In addition, he won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002. So far, Ronaldinho has won almost all the honors a football player can get, and there are no peaks in front of him to climb. Perhaps it was under such circumstances that Ronaldinho's state began to decline, and he lacked motivation and was not as agile in the game as before.

Although the state has declined, Ronaldinho still scored 24 goals and sent 14 assists in 49 games played in the 2006/2007 season. This season, Barcelona and Real Madrid have the same points at the end of the season, but due to the relationship between victory and defeat, the final championship belongs to Real Madrid.

He remains one of the best players on the planet.

However, this season, Ronaldinho's life is not easy.

This season, Ronaldinho has been plagued by injuries, and the rise of the young Argentine star Messi has made the Brazilian star seem less important to Barcelona. Self-discipline has led to intensified conflicts with the team's top management, and the Catalan media is no longer friendly to the former Elf darling. The media is almost full of reports on Ronaldinho's lace news. Today, Ronaldinho is reported Dinho nightclub revelry, reports tomorrow that Brazilians are getting fat again.

Halfway through the 2007/2008 season, due to injuries, Ronaldinho only played ten games on behalf of Barcelona, ​​and recently sat on the bench for several consecutive games.

That's why Fang Jue said this.

Barcelona is very strong without me. Leo is very good. If you underestimate him, you will suffer. Ronaldinho said.

I don't underestimate Messi, the second place in the Golden Globe, I dare not underestimate. Fang Jue said with a smile, However, to be honest, I really hope to feel a great Ronaldi Neo's feeling as an opponent...

Haha, yes, you are my fan. Ronaldinho said with a smile.

You are Ronaldinho! Fang Jue said with a smile.

Ronaldinho on the other end of the phone burst out laughing.

Yes, Fang Jue is a fan of Ronaldinho. In today's football, who would not like, or have liked, this Brazilian elf who always has a smile on his face.

However, it was clear that Ronaldinho was not in a good mood, and soon the two ended the call.

Hanging up the phone, Fang Jue shook his head lightly. He swore to the handsome guy in the mirror that he was definitely not fighting. He really hoped to compete with Ronaldinho on the court. An unimaginable scene.

...

The winter transfer window of the 2007/2008 season was also officially closed at 24:00 on January 31.

Ibiza have brought in three players and sold one in this winter transfer window.

Spanish native striker Bedino moved to Real Sociedad for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros.

Ibiza spent 1.5 million euros on the introduction of Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Real Sociedad, and then sub-leased Bravo to Real Sociedad for half a season with a loan fee of 200,000 euros.

In addition, Ibiza introduced Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres from Villarreal for a transfer fee of 3 million euros, and then, according to the negotiated agreement, Caceres will be renewed for free to the La Liga team Huelva half a season.

At right-back, Ibiza have brought in Chinese defender Sun Jihai, 31, from Manchester City on a free after substitute right-back Rosales was injured.

In this case, during the entire transfer period, Ibiza introduced three players, sold one player, and made a net profit of 200,000 euros.

On February 1st, Fang Jue entered the system and conducted a routine lottery draw. Without any surprises, he got another 'Yellow Lucky Ball'. Now, the number of 'Yellow Lucky Balls' on hand has reached six.

On the wall of Fang Jue’s office is the latest Ibiza match schedule. Among them, on the dates of February 28 and March 20, Fang Jue circled them with red marker pens. Dates for the two-leg Copa del Rey semi-final.

Fang Jue looked at the two dates circled by himself, his eyes flickering.

...

the next day.

Ibiza fans cemetery.

Birds chirped on the branches.

Mrs. Alfonso sat in front of her husband's tomb, gently touching the tombstone, and chatting with Mr. Alfonso. Her voice was very low, as if she was whispering beside the pillow.

Ibiza knocked out Racing Santander and is in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Do you remember? Fang said he would give you a King's Cup champion. By the way, you were drunk that day.

However, I told you later, you still don't believe me, saying that the kid will brag, but don't think I didn't see it, your eyes were shining at that time.

After you left, the team eliminated Espanyol and Racing Santander in a row in the Copa del Rey... You must be very happy to hear that, and you must be very proud of yourself.

We met Barcelona in the semi-finals. It is too difficult to reach the final. Mrs. Alfonso sighed softly, I know, you will definitely say that Ibiza is not afraid of anyone, you are the mouth Hard, in fact, you are more flustered and anxious than anyone else.

The team is still ranked first in the league. It is said in the newspapers and on TV that Ibiza is very likely to be promoted to La Liga. Okay, okay, I know you are worried. Until the moment of real success, you are like A child with a Christmas stocking, expecting and worrying.

When you were alive, I never cared about the team, and I even didn't like it, but now that you are lying here, half of my heart is here, and the other half is on the team... you go Don't make it easy for me.

The voice became lower and lower, Mrs. Alfonso sobbed softly, I miss you, Javier.

The sun shone through the branches and projected on the sad old woman. The black and cold tombstone did not become warmer because of the sun.
