Chapter 220 Funeral! (Ask for a monthly ticket)

Post-match press conference.

The news hall of Barcelona Olympic Stadium was filled with reporters. The press conference had not yet begun and the reporters were talking about it. There was really too much to report on this game.

In one game, the goalkeeper had three low-level turnovers.

Ibiza, who fought in a state of sorrow, overturned the powerful Spaniards.

Valverde, who was praised by the media before the game and said that he would teach Ibiza's young head coach Fang Jue, lost to the young coach.

After the game, the entire Ibiza team dedicated the victory to the old chairman of the club who had just passed away, and this scene moved many people.

Anyway, the reporters were very excited that there was no shortage of material after this game.

After the press conference began, Valverde, who looked tired and somewhat frustrated, refused to admit his failure, saying that his team was just not very lucky today.

"One goalkeeper, one game, three mistakes, can you think of this?" Valverde spread his hands, looking helpless.

Some of the reporters nodded, while others shook their heads and mouths. After losing, they threw the pot to the player. This was very inappropriate behavior. Of course, Cameni's poor performance today really made people shake his head.

Ibiza's young head coach Fang Jue refused to admit that his team won because of his luck.

"I want to thank my players for playing a very good game."

"Luck? Luck is also part of strength, of course," Fang Jue paused for a moment, with a serious expression, "If I really want to say luck, I would rather understand this as Chairman Alfonso protecting this team in heaven, this team he loved for his life!"

These words won a burst of applause from the scene, and the dead were the most important.

Some superstitious reporters even thought what Fang Jue said made sense, otherwise today's game would not be explained at all. Although Cameni made occasional mistakes, it was too incredible for one game to have three fatal low-level mistakes. They would rather believe that this was the effect of mysterious power.

"Cameni is an excellent goalkeeper, and mistakes are part of the football game. Every player may make mistakes, but because of the special position of the goalkeeper, it will be magnified for interpretation." Fang Jue finally comforted the goalkeeper who made a big mistake in the visiting team. "I know this is a strong player. Today's bad will pass soon, and tomorrow will be a sunny day."

The reporters applauded. Compared with Valverde's words to the players, Fang Jue's words were obviously more skillful.

Although he beat Espanyol five to three away games, Ibiza's entire team did not celebrate, and the loss and sadness brought to the entire team by the death of the old Chairman Alfonso still permeated the entire team.

That night, the entire Ibiza team took a chartered flight to return to Ibiza overnight, and they were going to attend the funeral on the next day.

...

"Brother Tao, I decided to join Ibiza!"

In the hotel where he stayed, Sun Jihai made his decision to his agent Yu Haotao.

"Don't think about it anymore?" Yu Haotao wanted to persuade him again.

"No, I decided." Sun Jihai shook his head, "I have confidence in Ibiza. Brother Tao, if you can still play in La Liga in the last stage of your career, I am looking forward to it."

"If you make a decision, I can only support it with all my strength." Yu Haotao said with a wry smile. The two have worked together for many years. Although he has his own little thoughts, the two are old friends. When Sun Jihai had already made the decision, Yu Haotao quickly changed his mind and began to consider the negotiations for Sun Jihai to join Ibiza. This is the basic professional ethics of the agent.

The next morning, reports about the first leg of the Spanish Copa REE 8th-final match came out.

The Daily Sports Daily, which sang a praises to Valverde before the game, used the word "regret" for the loss of this game. The newspaper defended Valverde, believing that this loss was not Valverde's responsibility, "Cameni's low-level mistake caused all this," "One game, the goalkeeper made three low-level mistakes, and Valverde could do nothing with such bad luck."

However, the Daily Sports Daily did not question Fang Jue's ability this time, and still praised Ibiza and their young head coach relatively objectively. "Putting aside the luck factor, coach Fang Jue's team still performed surprisingly, especially in the second half, when Ibiza showed off his offensive courage, and the young Chinese head coach showed surprising aggressiveness, which caught Espanyol off guard."

"World Sports" focused on Corosas, and they praised the former Lamacia's No. 4 Crown Prince. Although Corosas did not score in the game, his midfield dispatch was very good. Ibiza had two goals that Corosas directly attacked. "It is hard to imagine that for a 600,000 euro price, we lost Corosas. This is another major mistake and genius loss after losing Fabregas. Look at Mark's performance in Ibiza. I wonder if our senior management regrets it now?'

The famous Fang Jue licking dogs and the reporter of the Catalonian Evening News Fernando continued to wave flags and shout for Fang Jue after the game, "What did I say before the game? Coach Fang Jue's team will win, those who said Valverde would teach Fang Jue, you now see that the talented Chinese coach conquered the Barcelona Olympic Stadium... I solemnly tell everyone that this is not the beginning. The young Ibiza, led by the young coach Fang Jue, is moving forward in victory! He will surprise everyone!"

Fernando almost gritted his teeth and finished writing this report. He slapped the "slut" who had just praised me, and he cheered himself up: Yes, that bastard will definitely surprise everyone!

He slept on firewood and tasted gall, he waited for the day of dawn!

...

This was Fang Jue's second funeral since he came to Spain. The first time he was dragged by Rebeto to attend Sophie's funeral.

Compared with the first time, this time, Fang Jue's emotions were obviously sad.

After working under Alfonso for more than two years, Fang Jue is more responsible for the old man's feelings and perception. He is a stingy old man, a stingy capitalist. He withdrew the employees' wages and even the toilet paper at the training base is charged. Of course, this is also because of the club's financial crisis. However, Fang Jue believes that the old man's stinginess is in his heart.

However, the old man really loves the team very much. He is very good to the players and cannot afford the salary. He once got a lot of supermarket vouchers and secretly used them for the players. Well, Fang Jue also received these vouchers. I heard that this caused continuous losses to Alfonso supermarket chain...

Thirty-three years ago, he bought the Ibiza club. Thirty-three years ago, Ibiza's situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad. At the worst, he was relegated to the Spanish League C, almost relegated to the regional league, and almost went bankrupt in the most difficult moment.

Ibiza fans have long been used to the old man's domination of the team.

When the team was in a bad situation, some people scolded the old man, some scolded the coach, scolded the players, and shouted the coach to get out, but no one called Alfonso to get out.

This is a complicated old man. Some people like him and some people scold him. However, no one disrespects him and no one admits his love for the team!

When Rebeto and Li Zihua acquired Ibiza, Fang Jue once thought that the old man would not let go so willingly, at least he would not give up the club's dominance, but the result surprised him.

What he let go of was his lover for thirty-three years, or he could be said to be his lover for the rest of his life.

Fang Jue led the whole team to attend the funeral. Everyone was wearing black suits, wearing white flowers, black veil wrapped in arms, and a solemn expression. Fareco cried like a tearful person.

The fans were also here, and Queros, Xavi and others were very sad.

Belmandy also came with his baby son. Fang Jue heard the father say to his son, "There is a real Ibiza lying here!"

Fang Jue felt that this sentence was the best epitaph for the old man.

"Javier often mentions you, and he tells the story of your application for the club's head coach." Mrs. Alfonso said with a sad expression.

"Mr. Chairman will definitely laugh at my childishness." Fang Jue said with a wry smile.

"No, he admires you very much," said Mrs. Alfonso. "Javel said that a young man who is willing to do his best to seize the opportunity should not be blamed, but should be applauded."

"Javier said he was very happy, he was looking forward to the day when Ibiza was promoted to La Liga, and he believed you could do it," said Mrs. Alfonso.

"Thank you." Fang Jue said, "Yes, I can do it." He paused, and he emphasized his tone, "I will definitely do it!"

Mrs. Alfonso wiped the corners of her eyes and left, she also wanted to receive other mourners.

Fang Jue stood aside, looking at the tombstone, looking at the words engraved on it, and at the bottom, there was a sentence, "Javier Nieto Alfonso, who loves Ibiza deeply, is sleeping here."

...

What moved Fang Jue the most was that a group of white-haired old men and women, they didn't say anything, just stood there with a solemn expression, but you could deeply feel their sadness.

A white-haired, bald old man finally walked to the grave and placed a obviously old Ibiza scarf in front of the grave, murmured in a low voice, "Javier, you and those bastards of Besot, continue to cheer for Ibiza in heaven!"

Fang Jue, who had not shed tears, had his eyes red at this time.

"Who is Besotho?" Fang Jue asked Savage with a sad expression.

"A guy who died three years ago, an old drunkard, scolded people when he got drunk, the 31st one." Savage said.

Fang Jue doesn't understand.

Later he learned the meaning of the number, which was the 31st deceased buried in this cemetery. They were all old fans of Ibiza, who were peers with Alfonso, or older men and ladies older than him. This cemetery was the tomb site chosen by these fans, because from here, you can see the Athletic Stadium in the distance. They were sleeping here forever and still listen to the cheers at home. For a long time, only these hardest-core Ibiza fans can be buried here.

After leaving the cemetery, Fang Jue saw a sentence at the entrance of the cemetery. He didn't pay attention when he came in, and the sentence engraved on it:

Hi, when Ibiza is promoted to La Liga, don't forget to tell us.
