Chapter 76

January 31, 2001, morning.

The waiting hall in T3 area of Madrid capital airport is full of people.

Different from T1, which is dominated by international long-distance flights, T2 and T3 are dominated by domestic and European short-distance routes, especially T3, so most passengers are light-weight and easy to travel.

Like other passengers, Atletico Madrid, with more than 20 people, sat in the hall and waited patiently.

Occasionally, one or two fans will come over and ask for autographs from their favorite stars, and the players will be satisfied.

These are the rules of the club.

Gao Han is sitting in the front row, looking at a briefing of the event.

Because of the TV broadcast, the first leg match between Barcelona and Spaniard was one day earlier than the other three games.

Away Barcelona beat the Spaniard 2-1 to win the derby.

Judging from the score, the Spaniard is not expected.

At least, it's not easy to reverse Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

This season, Barcelona's performance in La Liga is not ideal. After 20 rounds, they are ranked third in La Liga. They are only one point behind La Coruna, but they are eight points behind Real Madrid.

As everyone knows, Barcelona have only one opponent, Real Madrid.

Especially after Portuguese Luis Figo's move to Real Madrid.

Not only in La Liga, but also in the Champions League, Barcelona were eliminated in the first group match and forced to play in the UEFA Cup.

Such achievements are absolutely unacceptable to Barcelona, who is ambitious and determined to compete with the Galactic warships.

For coach Ferrer, half a foot has gone over the cliff, if you want to keep the position, the League should continue to keep the pressure on Real Madrid, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Cup are all aspiring to win.

No champion Barcelona coach, only after class!

The other three matches of the final eight elimination match of the king's cup will start at the same time today. The live broadcast is the match between Zaragoza and athletic Santander. The match between Real Mallorca and Granada led by coach Aragones is also not live broadcast.

According to the preliminary estimation in Gao Han's mind, in addition to Barcelona, Zaragoza is likely to be promoted. It should not be a big problem to beat Santander. The draw of Real Mallorca is the best and there is no problem to promote.

If Atletico Madrid can beat CELTA and enter the final four, it will be against Real Mallorca of Aragones.

Barcelona will encounter Zaragoza.

Of course, it's a guess. The game is changing so fast that it's hard to predict accurately.

Think of here, high cold heaved a breath heavily.

If it was Atletico Madrid a year ago, it would still have to play with other teams, but now

But if you think about it in reverse, if the bedspread regiment is still the top Spanish team a year ago, alpine will not have a chance at all.

So, things in the world are so strange.

Just as Gao Han was grinning bitterly, team leader Carlos Pena came quickly.

"Not very lucky, business class has no tickets, can only arrange some people to economy class."

The players seem to be used to it.

First team travel is generally by plane, the day of the game back and forth, this kind of thing must often encounter.

"How many tickets are there in business class?" Gao Han asked.

Carlos Pena smiles at him. "Take three tickets for you, cantarello and Garcia, and fifteen more."

The list of away players is 18, that is to say, three players have to take economy class.

According to the past practice of the team, the substitute player must go to economy class.

"So, Carlos, all three of our coaching staff go to economy class, and all 18 players go to business class."

"What?" Carlos Pena was stunned, "how can this be done?"

Generally speaking, the coach and the core coaching staff must be in business class.

At the end of the day, how can a player go to business class, but the coach go to economy class?

"It's OK, business class is more comfortable, players can have a better rest, they are the club's most valuable asset, we don't care, it's the same everywhere." Gao Han said with a smile.

"But..." Carlos Pena disagreed.

Will this damage the authority of the head coach?

"So it was decided." High cold direct clap.

The players are listening all the time and feel that this is not right.

You know, the head coach is the manager of the team, in business class, this is the Convention.

How can a player go to business class and a coach go to economy class?

"Boss, I'll take economy class." Torres stood up and volunteered.

"I'll go, boss. I'll give you a seat!" Villa followed.

"I'm new here. In terms of qualifications, it's my turn to go." Harvey Alonso also said with a smile.

"I'm the last to join the team, or I'll go." Pablo ibanese also stood up.

"I'd better go. I'm small and comfortable in economy class." Antonio Lopez also suggested.

The captain of the team, veteran Juan Aguilera deeply looked at these young players promoted from the second team, can feel their admiration and love for the cold.

It's not just the difference between business class and economy class, it's not a matter of comfort.

Thinking of this, Aguilera also stood up, "I'm the captain, I'll set an example, I'll take economy class."

Even Aguilera has made his stand, and the players such as Kiko, Ugo Layar and IBIC have also made their stand one after another. They all start to rush to take economy class and business class.

Carlos Pena, the leader of the team, is a little sad. What's the situation?

On weekdays, not everyone is not willing to take economy class? Why are they all rushing to go now?

Now, even a blind man can see that the prestige of Alpine in the team is rising rapidly.

Not only Torres and villa and other young players are grateful for him, but also Aguilera and other senior officials are convinced of him. Otherwise, how can this happen?

At the beginning, when Zambrano and Marcos Alonso led the team, the players went to economy class. It was all hard work. Only a fool offered to rob them.

I'm happy with the cold weather. I thought to myself, it's not that I often wear that tease girl uniform, so I'm full of personal charm, right?

So many people are scrambling for an economy class?

But it's not negotiable!

"Come on, come on, don't join in the fun, all stay in business class for me!" Gao Han said aloud.

"Your duty is to play football, and my duty is to help you play better, so it's not negotiable!"

After that, Gao Han waved his hand and signaled the crowd to pack up and get ready to board.

The players are staring at the young coach, but the heart is rough.

All along, the relationship between the manager and the player is the relationship between the manager and the managed.

Even the most famous stars have to obey the management and arrangement of the head coach.

That's why it's customary for the head coach to give priority to business class.

But Gao Han said that his duty as head coach is to help them play better.

Not to lead, not to lead, but to help.

It's just a difference in vocabulary, but it brings the original upper and lower levels to an equal position.

From this sentence, they feel a respect!

Carlos Pena has been the manager of Atletico Madrid for many years. He has experienced the double peak in the period of andic and the darkness of the last two years. He has seen all kinds of stars, assisted famous coaches and rookies.

But, such as alpine, unique!

Maybe it's because he's young, he doesn't have enough prestige and he lacks qualifications, or it's because of the unique situation of Atletico Madrid's first team, for example, the main players are all young players, but the substitutes are all meritorious veterans

But, he can say so, insist to do so, this itself already quite rare.

Look at the eyes and reactions of the players, the morale can be used!

…………

…………

"Victor, I just got a piece of good news."

In CELTA Sports City in Vigo, the assistant coach knocked on the door of head coach Victor Fernandez.

"What's the good news?"

"A reporter familiar with us revealed that Atletico Madrid players fell out at the airport

"Falling out?" Victor Fernandez was stunned for a moment, followed by a surprise, "is it true or not? Why? "

War is coming, if the opponent does not fight and collapse, it is not white accounted for stool appropriate?

"I heard it's because of the air ticket."

"Oh?"

"Atletico Madrid was promoted to the top eight. No one thought that they were promoted and wanted to buy air tickets. As a result, it seems that there are not enough business class tickets, so they can only arrange some people to take economy class."

Victor Fernandez nodded. It's normal.

"Well, then?"

"Then, I heard that there was a fight. The head coach and the coaching staff were going to take business class, but there was a fight about who was going to take economy class."

After a meal, the assistant coach said with a smile: "the specific details, the reporter is not clear, very far away, just to see the players stand up and fight one by one, seems to be quite fierce, the whole airport people have seen."

"Ha ha, great, great!"

Victor Fernandez can not suppress the ecstasy in his heart, "Atletico Madrid is not easy to improve, but for this small matter of sesame mung bean and infighting, this is God's help me!"

"Who said no?" The assistant coach is also very happy.

CELTA's situation is not ideal recently. Although belizo and caseres have cooperated and have a good relationship with each other, there is no problem in their cooperation. However, they are new comers. There must be some problems with other players.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid, 3-0 reversal of palecano, 5-0 defeat Levante, morale after the change of manager, which gives CELTA great psychological pressure.

But now, they are killing themselves and fighting for a ticket. It's really

"Infighting is good, they are now infighting, players will inevitably take the mood to participate in the afternoon game, when the team's overall combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, morale will certainly not last long."

Victor Fernandez said there was a trace of desire in his eyes.

"I want to win the battle!"

The assistant coach thinks it's a good idea, too.

CELTA's competition task this season is very heavy, although in the La Liga league ranking is not ideal, but in the UEFA Cup performance is very good, the king's cup also entered the last eight.

So, if you can take out Atletico Madrid in the first leg, it will save a lot of effort.

"Then I'll tell the players

Victor Fernandez nodded and watched as his assistant closed the door and left. Then he began to smile again.

What's the name of the coach of Atletico Madrid? What's high? Oh, by the way, high cold.

You are my lucky star!
