The Glory of the Godfather

September 18, 2008, the 77th anniversary of the September 18th Incident.

Ibiza is a guest in Funchal, Madeira Islands, Portugal, ushering in the club's first European game in its 54-year history.

There are nearly a thousand Ibiza fans accompanying the team on away games. For the small island of Ibiza, which has a resident population of only a hundred thousand, the scale of a thousand people is really not small.

As the fourth place in the Portuguese Super League last season, Maritimo is very strong. Before the game, the Portuguese media were quite confident that Maritimo would score points at home. This is because the media in Madeira Islands were more 'modest'. In fact, after Ibiza was drawn, the local media in Madeira even cheered that it was a 'good draw', and then they learned that the newly promoted La Liga team slaughtered Madrid 8-3 at home in their La Liga debut. News from the giants Atletico Madrid...

Then, the Madeira media changed their tone: Maritimo wants to advance, he must score points in the first round of the home game, and try not to let Ibiza score as much as possible, well, this means doing as much as possible at home. Fight for a zero to zero, and then pin your hopes on the away game.

The ninety-minute whistle blew and the Ibiza fans in the away stands at the Maritimo Park erupted into cheers of excitement.

At the end of the game, Ibiza defeated the Portuguese Super League powerhouse Maritimo 2-1 away, taking the lead in the two-round knockout round.

It was Lewandowski and Mata who scored goals for Ibiza. After the start of the new season, these two players are definitely the best in the Ibiza team.

In fact, if it weren't for the outstanding performance of Maritimo goalkeeper Novachekov, Ibiza might have won another big victory in this game.

The Sunday Telegraph reported the game on its front page the day after the match, cheering the Ibiza club's first-ever European debut victory.

The whole Ibiza island was full of joy and laughter.

However, except for the cheering of the media and fans on Ibiza Island, the media in other parts of Spain reacted relatively flatly. Even if this game was mentioned, it was just a passing mention. After all, the influence of the UEFA Cup is far less than that of the Champions League. What's more, this is only the qualifying match before the UEFA Cup group stage, and the influence is even smaller.

...

A few days later, in the third round of La Liga, Ibiza drew with Almeria 1-1 away, and Deisler scored an equalizer for Ibiza.

Although it was only a draw, Fang Jue was quite satisfied with the result of the game.

Just look at the standings after the three rounds of La Liga. Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal, and Espanyol, these four teams have accumulated 7 points at the same time, only because of the goal difference. Ranked 1 to 4 according to the difference.

Valencia and Villarreal are strong teams in La Liga, and their strength has always been strong. It is not too surprising to occupy the top of the standings. However, the Spaniard and Almeria can definitely be regarded as dark horses after the start of the new season.

Behind these four teams is Real Madrid, with Galacticos scoring 6 points and ranking fifth in the league.

Behind Real Madrid is Ibiza, who slaughtered Atletico Madrid's newly promoted La Liga team 8-3 in the first round of the league. After two consecutive draws, they scored 5 points in three league rounds and were able to rank sixth in the league. name.

Chaotic new season, fallen giants. This is the headline on the front page of Marca after the end of this round of the league.

Real Madrid ranked fifth with two wins and one loss, Barcelona ranked ninth with one win, one draw and one loss, Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal and Espanyol and newly promoted Ibiza occupy the top six Five places, this chaotic situation can be said to be rare in recent years.

...

After the UEFA Cup game, it is the weekend league.

For the upcoming fourth round of La Liga, the Spanish media focused their attention on Ibiza almost at the same time.

Ibiza hosts Valencia in this round of the league.

This game should not have been regarded as a focus match. However, there is a precedent of Ibiza killing Atletico Madrid 8-3 at home. In addition, don’t forget that Ibiza killed Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last season. Before the start of this season, Real Madrid was defeated in the Spanish Super Cup to win the championship. It seems that this team can always explode with impressive energy when facing a strong enemy.

And look at other matchups in this round of the league, Barcelona VS Real Betis, Villarreal VS Racing Santander, Real Madrid VS Sporting Gijon... Sevilla VS Espanyol?

Whether it is from the current league ranking or the strength of the team, it seems that it is really not as eye-catching as the game between Ibiza and Valencia.

What's more: these two teams have old grudges.

Last season's Copa del Rey final was played between these two teams. In the end, Ibiza from La Liga defeated La Liga giants Valencia at the Bernabéu Stadium and won the first championship trophy in club history.

You know, last season Valencia was empty of all four major players, and the team was full of civil strife. The Copa del Rey was Valencia's last chance to redeem the season, but it was eliminated by Ibiza in the final... It's no small 'hate'.

At least, it has only been a few months, and the Valencians will not forget this hatred so quickly.

Of course, this is for Valencia. For Fang Jue, he didn't feel any hatred between himself and Valencia before. It's not normal to win or lose in a game.

Therefore, when he heard the sound of the Valencia boss Soler Jr. firing at him, his expression was surprised.

Why? Why is it like this.

Fang Jue felt very innocent.

...

Mr. Soler Jr., the chairman of Valencia, took the lead in firing when he was interviewed by the media.

The chairman slammed Fang Jue for using improper means to wrest Mata from Valencia's mouth.

When Fang Jue heard little Sorel criticizing him like this, his first reaction was: Oh no, the matter was exposed?

Then he saw what Little Sorel said on the news, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, we have reached an agreement with Mata and his family, we have been waiting in the office to sign Mata, and finally we got the news that the player and the family did not go to the airport, and someone showed up at the airport. The player's home.

Don't ask me why Mata didn't choose Valencia, I don't know, but one thing I can be sure of is that we did reach an agreement with Mata, but in the end he didn't come, there must be something wrong.

Fang Jue was taken aback. Although it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, it was always unpleasant to be shot at.

In particular, he has always been kind, humble, and low-key. It is unbearable for such a talented but extremely low-key handsome coach to be attacked for no reason.

Some people were surprised that Sorel opened fire on Fang Jue, but even the surprised people soon stopped being surprised. The chairman of Valencia is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is just a big mouth Ah, the Copa del Rey champion that Valencia almost self-booked last season was snatched away by Ibiza, causing Valencia to lose all four. It is said that Valencia's stock has fallen badly, and Soler has lost a lot. Such a deep hatred Well, it's not easy for little Sorel to endure his temper until now.

It's just that little Sorel was a little clever. Instead of talking about the King's Cup, he brought up the old story again, turning over the old account of Mata's escape from marriage in Valencia and Fang Jue's night run.

...

Fang Jue felt that he was very innocent, and this innocent feeling was eventually extended to being unhappy.

If you are unhappy, you will naturally fight back.

I'm very happy to meet Valencia again, Fang Jue said.

It's like meeting a love partner. Ibiza waited for fifty-four years before and met Valencia for the first time on a beautiful stage. The final result is complete and full of love. So, for Valencia I am looking forward to the match in West Asia.

Looking forward to peat.

In Fang Jue's words, there was not a single dirty word, nor did he make any personal attacks, and even used beautiful words. Those who didn't know thought it was love prose.

However, knowing what happened in the Copa del Rey last season, I couldn't help but gasp: This guy is really poisonous! Hurting people does not carry a dirty word.

It is simply not to be angry, but also to be disgusting.

On Valencia's side, the first person to jump out and scold Fang Jue was not their coach Emery, but the team's Spanish veteran Marchena.

The tone of the native Spanish midfielder was very rude.

I'm also looking forward to the match against Ibiza now, ha! After this match is over, some people don't want to lose and cry!

For Marchena to jump out of the fight, media reporters did not have the slightest surprise.

Carlos Marchena is a very good player. This player is physically strong and has good ability to handle high balls and mark people. However, this Spanish defender has a hot temper. This is a violent temper that can explode at a point.

Valencians are relatively mild, so many people wonder why Marchena is so violent. I'm afraid it has to start with his hometown. Marchena is a native of Seville, and he is famous for his violent temper in Spain. One of the locations is just like the look what I do and look at you smashing that are often joked in China, and then crackling.

...

Fang Jue ignored Marchena's clamor. If Emery jumped out to fight with him, he would naturally be happy to accompany him. However, Marchena is just a player, and his level is not equal.

Of course, this is mainly because Fang Jue has always been pure and kind, with a broad mind, and he does not have the same knowledge as this person.

Not only did he not respond, Fang Jue also banned the Ibiza players from sparring with the Valencians.

When Clement was interviewed by the media, he insulted Marchena a few words, avenged Fang Jue, and was criticized by Fang Jue.

Don't pay attention to these provocative actions. Fang Jue looked serious, Don't be fooled, their purpose is to disturb us, this is a manifestation of the opponent's lack of confidence, we can't be fooled.

Everyone laughed, Fang Jue glared at these guys, I'm serious.

The players laughed again.

Why do I really think the coach is right, the Valencians are not confident, so they made trouble. Mata whispered.

I feel this way too. Royce nodded, he thought he was the only one who felt this way.

Okay, stop laughing. Fang Jue clapped his hands, Let's get down to business, don't say anything to the media, and focus on the game.

But, coach, aren't you really angry when Marchena said that? Fareko shouted.

Don't be angry. Fang Jue shook his head, I don't care what he does, and winning is the best response.

Veterans like Makelele nodded approvingly, and the other party recognized his attitude. Although the coach is young, he is very stable.

Okay, everything is quiet. Fang Jue continued to explain the tactics.

Be careful with Villa.

He's been in really good form lately.

Remember, don't give Villa the space to get the ball easily.

And David Silva.

This kid is very popular recently. Fang Jue said.

He is right. If Mata is in a hot state recently in Ibiza and Mata's popularity is very strong, Silva's popularity in Valencia can be called overwhelming.

There are numerous reports in the media, and it can even be said that Silva's growth process and privacy have been discovered.

Silva's mother, Ava, is Japanese, and his father, Fernando, is a police officer. Silva has been in contact with the beautiful sport of football since he was a child. He will try to kick everything he can with his little feet, such as fruits or potatoes. At that time, he always yelled football and football, and his family even worried whether little Silva could only say this word.

Because of Silva's small eyes and modest personality, many nearby fishermen like to call him China Boy.

Silva's talent is indeed rare among his peers, but his height and figure are relatively weak, which also makes him perform well in Real Madrid's trial training. However, Real Madrid gave up on him for this reason, and finally let Valencia pick him up. A big bargain.

Speaking of which, some media have already begun to hype the rematch between Mata and Silva, the two Real Madrid abandoned generals, in this game.

...

At last……

Pay attention to Marchena. Fang Jue tapped on the small blackboard.

Marchena has a very hot temper.

This is a card king.

Fang Jue is right. Marchena has a hot temper and a lot of fouls on the field: in the 2003/2004 season, Marchena was sent off after only 47 seconds in the game between Valencia and Osasuna Football Club. As a result, he became the fastest person to be sent off with a red card in the history of the Valencia team; on March 6, 2007, Valencia played against Inter Milan in the Champions League. The two teams clashed after the game. Marchena and his teammates David Navarro fought with several Inter Milan players. Afterwards, the two clubs were fined 100,000 euros by UEFA, and Marchena himself was suspended for four games.

Anyway, just a little spark and this guy will blow up.

Attention, you must pay attention to this point. Fang Jue tapped on the small blackboard again.
