Chapter 170 Official break and koala plan
After defeating the yellow submarine 3-0 at home on March 18, Real Madrid finally ushered in a short rest period. The 30th round of La Liga away from home to La Coruña will be on April 1. The team will have nearly half a month to recover and adjust!
But such a schedule makes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia miserable, because the first round of the second round of the UEFA Champions League knockout will be held in less than three days after the 30th round of the league. The time of the two games is too close, which is very difficult for the team to prepare for the Champions League!
At this point, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a rare cooperation. In addition, the Bat Legion and the three clubs jointly wrote to the Spanish Football Association, hoping to advance the 30th round of the game by 2 days!
For Real Madrid, this matter is naturally done by Uncle Calderon and Uncle Mijatovic. Li Tongfan immediately granted amnesty to the world after the end of the game on March 18 - a three-day holiday for the hammers to recover their physical strength!
"Hey, guys, listen, the most critical moment of the season is coming. The holiday is used to restore physical fitness. I hope you can spend these three days quietly. Of course, I don't object to going to the beach for recuperate," Li Tongfan said with a cold face: "But if someone does something If something out of the ordinary is revealed again, or stare at the dark circles and come to the training ground tiredly three days later, then don't blame me for being rude! I did what I said!"
Li Tongfan's "holiday training" is very serious and formal. To be honest, this is the most serious training speech of the team since Lao Li joined Real Madrid. Ronaldo and Marcelo looked at each other with a few hammers and knew that the boss was determined this time, and immediately extinguished the idea of going to the hotel for carnival!
Although the team is on vacation, Li Tongfan can't be idle!
Because Uncle Calderon, the chairman of the "forgetful" club, finally remembered the renewal of his contract with a meritorious coach like the madman Li, the club's board of directors passed a resolution and decided to offer Lao Li with a new contract!
On the morning of March 20, Li Tongfan came to Calderon's private office at the agreed time!
Although Lao Li did not finally decide his future, and at the same time, he was very angry about what happened during the winter transfer period, he did not completely exclude the renewal of his contract with Real Madrid. After all, people are not grass and trees. Who can be ruthless?
More than 9 months have passed, and Li Tongfan has long had feelings for everything about the team. Except for Calderon and Mijatovic, two unpleasant mallets, others have long been destined to become the most unforgettable memory in Li Tongfan's life... The first time he coached a football team, the first and those that were not expected before. And the superstars came into contact with him. For the first time, he saw the serious and elegant second leader in the office in the morning. First, he led the hammers to participate in the competition. For the first time, he participated in the post-match press conference and was interviewed by reporters... In Li Tongfan's life of less than 23 years, too many incredible things have happened in the past 9 months. Once, just like most Chinese who want to marry a virgin, Lao Li's nostalgia is not very strong, so it's best to stay in Real Madrid unless you have to!
Of course, the premise of all this is to get enough head coach rights to build a team according to your own ideas and tactical system!
At the very least, the transfer power must be tightly in his own hands. To be honest, Mijatovic's greed has nothing to do with Li Tongfan, but Lao Li can never tolerate the recurrence of things like Juan Mata and Robinho!
To fundamentally eliminate this possibility, you must take the transfer right into your own hands!
This meeting may not be the last opportunity given by Li Tongfan to Calderon!
If Uncle Ka can recognize the situation and know the good people, then it is not impossible for Lao Li to repay once, but if he still only fools himself with the so-called huge annual salary, then Lao Li will not be the loyal Yue Wumu. I'm sorry, let's break up. You cross your single-plank bridge, I Go to my Yangguan Road... For the sake of formal sake, Li Tongfan came with his nominal agent Torothy Tang this time. Anyway, there is such a professional helper, so there is no need for nothing!
When the two came to Uncle Calderon's private office, they found that Mijatovich's mallet was also there. It seemed that Uncle Ka and the rice mallet were really inseparable from Meng and Meng!
"Ah, dear Li, I'm glad you arrived on time," Seeing Li Tongfan come in, Calderon squeezed out an orange peel-like smile on his face: "The club's board of directors is very satisfied with your work, and the directors agree that you should get a very generous contract! This is..."
It was not until then that Uncle Ka noticed that there was still a person behind Li Tongfan, showing an inquiring look. Lao Li smiled and said, "This is my agent Mr. Torothy Tang!"
Agent?
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Calderon's heart, but he quickly squeezed out a smiling face and stretched out his hand: "Welcome Mr. Tolosi, you have to help us keep Li, haha, please sit down, sit..."
Tolosi Tang's excitement at this time is indescribable. Once upon a time, he could actually get the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with a big man like the president of Real Madrid. All this was brought to him by the madman Li. Thinking of this, Tolosi Tang made up his mind that he must firmly climb the high branch of Li Tongfan!
After sitting down, Li Tongfan did not ink. He came straight to the point and directly into the issue of contract renewal. Uncle Calderon originally wanted to pull his feelings first. When he saw that Lao Li was so "in a hurry", he had to give up and motioned the big stick to give the completed contract to Li Tongfan!
Lao Li did not read it first, but directly forwarded the draft of the contract to Tolosi-Tang. After all, he was a professional. First, he asked Tang to check in detail for any major omissions, and then made his own decision.
Because of the winter break, Li Tongfan has been wary of Calderon and Mijatovich!
There are about 10 pages of A4 paper in the contract. Tolosi Tang took a careful look page by page. For a while, the silence of the whole office was terrible. Mijatović tried to find a topic several times to break such an awkward atmosphere, but after looking at Li Tongfan who closed his eyes on the sofa, he finally gave up such a plan!
The air is silent and terrible!
Li Tongfan is very satisfied with Tolosi Tang's work attitude. Such an agent is what he wants!
20 minutes later!
Tolosi-Tang handed over the contract to Lao Li, nodded, indicating that there was no problem with the terms of the contract itself. Next, it was Lao Li's turn to see if he was dissatisfied with the specific treatment!
Li Tongfan took over the contract, directly ignored the questions about his personal treatment, and wanted to find the content about the head coach's authority... "Dear Li, I think you will be satisfied. This is a very generous contract, haha..." At this point, Calderon even laughed proudly: "The whole Europe, Only Real Madrid can make such a contract for a head coach..."
Li Tongfan ignored Uncle Calderon's boasting and finished the ten pages of A4 paper a hundred times faster than Torothy Tang, but he didn't find what he wanted... MLGBD!
Li Tongfan's heart is cold!
Calderón finally cast a vote of confidence in Mijatovic, and there is no transfer authority that he attaches most importance to in the new contract - in this way, the matter of Juan Mata and Robinho will happen in the future. Whether the transfer supervisor is Mijatovich or someone else, as long as it is not himself, then everything is It's possible!
If an unparalleled new star emerges in football one day, will Calderon exchange it with Ronaldo or Beckham?
In the final analysis, no matter how high the salary is, in the eyes of the board of directors of Real Madrid, they are just a pawn to win honor for them. When they are tired of that day, they will definitely kick themselves away in a faster way than the ladder after lifting the belt... It seems that... themselves and Real Madrid's fate has come to an end!
Shaking his head, Lao Li handed the contract back to Calderon with a surprised face. "Mr. Chairman, I have decided to leave Real Madrid after the season. I'm sorry, I'm not going to sign it!"
Amazing words!
Even Tolosi-Tang suddenly looked up at Li Tongfan!
"What, Li, are you misread..." Calderon's face was full of incredible, and even a few drops of saliva left at the corners of his mouth because of the laughter just now: "Li, the club provides you with an annual salary of 1,000 euros, which is already the first salary of the European football coach..."
"Mr. Calderon..." Li Tongfan suddenly interrupted Calderon's words loudly: "Please don't insult me with the so-called annual salary of 10 million yuan. From June 29 last year to now, have I ever said that I was not satisfied with the salary?"
Calderon was stunned. Indeed, the so-called annual salary issue has always been hyped by the media. The man in front of him seems to have never proposed a plan to raise his salary... "Everything has nothing to do with money. You should understand what I mean." Li Tongfan sighed with some interest: "In the past period of time, I I have been infatuated with Real Madrid. She is a great club, but these are not convincing reasons for me to stay... Mr. Chairman, there is still a long time before the start of next season. You have enough time to find a greater head coach... Goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Tongfan left the office without hesitation!
Calderon kept his surprised mouth wide open, while Mijatovich had been sitting on the sofa. The Serbs did not say a word during the whole process!
Bang!
It was not until Tolosi Tang followed Li Tongfan out of the office and closed the door that the two giants of Real Madrid came to their senses.
Bang!
Calderon was so angry that he threw the contract on the ground fiercely and stepped on it twice. It seemed that he hadn't finished venting his resentment. He grabbed it and tore the 10 pages of A4 paper to pieces... Even Alex, the female secretary outside the office, heard Uncle Calderon's roar: "What is he relying for? Huh? It's just a rookie without any honor... Why? He is really a god of war who will never fail... Haha, huh?"
Calderon must have felt like a high-ranking aristocrat at this moment. He finally sent a kindness to pity a little beggar, but he was rudely slapped by the little beggar. I don't know how many slaps TMD... Damn it, I can't afford to lose this person!
10 minutes later!
Finally venting his anger, Calderon returned to the seat behind his desk: "Prepare a list of successors for me. I'll see it next week at the latest, and then choose the head coach for Real Madrid!" Humph, stupid Chinese boy, leave you, Real Madrid or Real Madrid, and you leave Real Madrid, you will be nothing..."
Coming out of the club's office building, Li Tongfan took a deep breath of the cold air in March. He turned around and looked at the huge Real Madrid team emblem at the top of the building. The last trace of nostalgia in his heart dissipated in the cold wind of Madrid... Although the Galaxy Battleship is good, it is not my dream place, hehe, Without me, Real Madrid will return to the previous years of being suppressed by Barcelona, and if I leave here, I will definitely achieve another legend!
Turning around and looking at Tolose Tang with a complicated look, Li Tongfan suddenly asked a question that made Tang a little inexplicable: "Tang, do you think I should trust you?"
Tolosi Tang originally wanted to make a joke and say something that you don't trust me as an agent to regulate the atmosphere, but when he came to his mouth, he found that Li Tongfan was looking at himself with a very serious expression. On the one end, he didn't know what to say!
Today, Tolosi Tang drove Lao Li here. After the two got on the car, Lao Li raised his wrist to see the time: "Go to the company!"
Company, it naturally refers to [Flashing Red Star]!
After 20 minutes, the two have arrived at the supervisor's office on the second floor of [Flashing Red Star]!
Li Tongfan sat at Tolosi-Tang's desk, took out a large pile of materials from his briefcase, and pushed him down in front of Tolosi-Tang. He smiled and said, "Look at it first and see it after reading it!"
Tang looked at Li Tongfan with suspicious eyes, put on his eyes and began to read these materials carefully. After reading the first page, his face changed. He couldn't help looking up at Lao Li, and then continued to read with his surname!
Li Tongfan sat opposite the table with his feet on the table. The big swivel chair under his buttocks began to turn, fooling around several times. Lao Li opened his eyes and looked at everything in his sight because of the rapid rotation of his body, as if he had seen what he had experienced in Real Madrid for more than nine months. Everything seems so unreal, but when you stop and think about it carefully, everything seems certain!
Until today, the decision to be separated from here has finally been made!
Lao Li is not the kind of sissy man who turns back step by step after taking a step. Since everything can't be changed, from then on, the sky is open to let birds fly, and the sea is vast and fish leaps. No one can restrain my crazy Li again!
However, the plan that has been hovering in Lao Li's heart is not completed by himself. He needs a person with a deep understanding of football and football to help Lao Li. Now it seems that there is only one person Li Tongfan can trust - Tolosi Tang!
In addition to Juan Mata's transfer, which lost Li's control due to many misunderstandings, Tang's other things were extremely beautiful, which made Li Tongfan very satisfied. And after more than half a year of secret observation, Li Tongfan can be sure that Tang is not the kind of villain... Such a person is worth using!
One hour later, Tolosi Tang finally finished reading the thick pile of materials and looked up at Lao Li in a daze. Obviously, he was slowly digesting what he had just seen!
Li Tongfan looked at Tang with a good look, with a narrow smile on his face: "Well, tell me!"
"I don't know where to start," Tolosi Tang rubbed his nose with a wry smile: "Li, it's so hard for you to lie to me! So Juan Mata is also because of you that he became a contract player under the company, right?
Lao Li smiled and nodded shamelessly!
"So, it should cause you a lot of trouble to let him transfer and leave Real Madrid during the winter break?"
"It's more than trouble, Tang, the departure of the main winger is simply a big trouble for me," Lao Li deliberately put on a very serious look: "Tang, you have to compensate me well!"
Looking at Li Tongfan's words, Tolosi Tang is not nervous. He is also a smart person. He knows that since Li Tongfan showed him so many confidential information today, he must have a plan. The Englishman deliberately put on a sad face and looked at Lao Li: "Compensation? Boss, I'm all yours. How can I compensate you?
At this point, Li Tongfan's expression finally became serious, pointing to the top document: "Do you have a look at this plan? Do you have any suggestions?
"The Koala Project?" Tolosi Tang frowned: "Li, with your ability, even if you leave Real Madrid, it's not a problem for you to go to any rich family to coach. Why do you have to..."
Li Tongfan waved his hand and interrupted Tolosi Tang: "No rich family is willing to let a head coach to toss around. There are too few lucky guys like Ferguson and Wenger in football now... What's more, I have absolute confidence to build a new dynasty, which is what every man dreams of... Tang, I need to be free and unrestrained. You are willing to help me complete this plan, right?
Looking at the high-spirited madman Li, what else can Tolosi Tang say?
... On March 22, the players came back to report and start training again!
Lao Li carefully observed the physical state of each hammer and confirmed that the hammers did not go out to mess around. At the arrangement meeting before the training, he nominated and praised everyone one by one. The hammers laughed together!
Achievement must be awarded, and it must be investigated!
Superstars are just a group of young people. Even the older Ronaldo and Carlos are still childlike. It is enough for them to be praised by the head coach for a while!
In late March, the FIFA virus hit!
24 is the national team competition. Many players were called to the national team to participate in the 2008 European Cup qualifiers. For the major European giants, this is simply pulling hair from the iron rooster. The five major leagues have reached the final stage, and the competition for various championships has already entered the white heat. At this time Let the main players participate in the national team competition. In case of an injury in the game with a broken arm or something, the consequences are simply unimaginable... A total of 12 players from Real Madrid have been recruited to represent their respective countries to participate in the European Cup qualifiers, almost all of the main lineup!
But in this regard, even if Lao Li is crazy, he can't stop him at all. Because the record of the national team is not only related to the personal honor of the player, but also to the national spirit and patriotism. If a head coach makes it difficult for the player in this regard, then his relationship with this player will come to an end!
This is the penalty area outside the football field. No one can break the rules!
The national team's game is divided into two days, and there is a game on March 24 and March 28. Lao Li sat in front of the TV and prayed that the qualified players would not be injured. In the Real Madrid, Raul and other four generals had been lying on the sickbed, and a few more appeared. He really had to go to Castile to "mature" a few demons!
24 said that the game was over. Everything was good. Thank God!
But as soon as the game on the 28th was over, Li Tongfan couldn't wait to point to Van Basten's nose and curse. Van Nistelrooy, who started for two consecutive games, was knocked down by the Slovenian defender's savage tackle in the game, resulting in a fracture of his wrist. After the game, according to the Dutch team's diagnosis, he had to be suspended for at least 3 weeks... Two days later!
His second uncle's, damn it!
Looking at Fanny lying with a thick gauze wrapped around his wrist, Li Tongfan really couldn't wait to pick up a knife and run to Slovenia and shovel the king of the small penalty area. The game became more and more intense and important. The four strikers, Raul and Fanny were all invited by the disease, leaving the fat Ronald. Erdo and Xiao Zhengtai Higuain, the fat man's state is nothing to say, and the performance of the little smoker in the competition is a little unsatisfactory... Alas!
Li Tongfan seemed to see that his character points were gone like diarrhea!
This is more than one bad news!
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia's applications for the 30th round of competition ahead of schedule were rejected by the Spanish Football Association. The Disciplinary Committee believes that this is a precaric practice and should be resolutely rejected!
The league is still carried out according to the established schedule!
On April 1, Real Madrid challenged A Coruña, ranked 17th in the away standings.
After the last round of the game, the head coach of La Coruna, who lost to Real Madrid, was dismissed by the club, but the new head coach Irurete did not save the once famous "Super Laco" from the quagmire of relegation. Now The score is only one point higher than the relegation zone team Sporting Santander!
The La Liga champion in the 1999-2000 season is facing the danger of humiliation and relegation. Countless La Coruña fans are heartbroken, but in the face of the horrible madman Li, even the most loyal fans are, they dare not expect the team to take Real Madrid. Get the score!
