Chapter 222 Get the Super Cup first, then come to the daughter country
Chapter 222 Finish the Super Cup first, and then come to the Kingdom of Women
In the stands at Camp Nou, a short old man looked at the situation in the stadium with a expressionless face. The two staff members around him dared not say a word. No one knew what the chairman who had been in charge of Barcelona for the longest time was thinking about at this time.
Some people's desire for power and energy are disproportionate to their figure: when French President Sarkozy gave a speech at Normandy, the twenty people standing beside them were carefully selected by the president's assistants, and their height was no more than Sarkozy; Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi has always had a high praise for himself, saying, "Only Napoleon did more than me, but I must be taller than him." In fact, Berlusconi himself was not much taller, and former Florence chairman Gorry revealed his old soles: "We are all 1.67 meters, but Berlusconi wore high heels." Nunez is a small man. Because of his background, he speaks Spanish and Catalan well, and has not received much education, but he eventually became the longest-time chairman of Barcelona.
Nunez is not a native Catalan. His ancestors are from southern Spain. He was born near Bilbao in the Basque region. After his father moved to Barcelona. After becoming a millionaire, he began to want to become the chairman of Barcelona. However, he was under great pressure at that time. After all, he was not a pure Barcelona. The xenophobia in Catalonia has always had traditions. His competitors are all Catalans with a strong root... However, in this case, he successfully became the chairman of Barcelona through various means, including bribery and threats, and has been re-elected until now. His term has brought Barcelona only to his position.
The champions of the Champions League and the Cup of Winners have sent away the Dutch superstar Neskens, who is loved by many fans, brought many world-class superstars such as Maradona, Schuster, Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo to Barcelona, and hired Cruyff, a coach with important influence on Barcelona. This time he was optimistic about Tiger, but Van Gaal refused to introduce Tiger - because the team does not need the second core with unlimited firepower. Nunes gave in to Barcelona because Van Gaal has won two league titles, but Van Gaal's approach of using Dutch and Brazilian players and ignoring Catalonian local players has caused dissatisfaction with the chairman.
Tiger's goal further aggravated this feeling. Tiger's goal was undoubtedly a slap to Van Gaal, but Nunes felt that the slap seemed to hit him in the face.
"If you have a chance next season, I will introduce Tiger." Nunes' expression was calm, but he thought in his heart with gritted teeth.
On the court, Tiger was celebrating wildly, scoring the first goal on the new team is always exciting, not to mention that this goal is so exciting!
Looking at Tiger who was celebrating wildly, Guardiola, who was just back to defend but failed to do so, stopped helplessly. As the captain, he still knew some things about the club. He knew that the club's chairman Nunez had thought about buying Tiger in the summer, but Van Gaal refused this candidate...
"Damn it, maybe letting this guy go is a mistake for us." Guardiola thought helplessly in his heart.
"La Liga, it's really more open." While celebrating Tiger, he thought to himself that in the Premier League, the defenders are more fierce, and the defenders in La Liga seem to be gentler in this regard, although they also have butchers like Goyechea...
"There are twenty minutes left, the Super Cup is ours!" Mendeta shouted, and Valencia's players yelled together!
Barcelona scored two goals in 20 minutes, but at this time, their mentality was completely unbalanced!
Last season, although Valencia was humiliated by 4-2, the game process did not make Barcelona fans lose confidence. Valencia made a quick counterattack to the extreme, and Barcelona was not convinced! In their opinion, being singled out by Lopez at the beginning was the biggest factor in losing that game. If they scored the first goal, Barcelona would definitely win, just like the game they beat Valencia 3-1 at the Mestalia Stadium...
However, this game... What kind of game is this? Barcelona is strong and all the main players are there, but Valencia lost two generals for a ridiculous reason. A total of three absolute main players cannot play, and one of them is still an indispensable goalkeeper... Barcelona fans have reasons for their confidence, but what about?
He led three times and equalized three times. Although there were two of the goals that were conceded, it was still the opponent's counterattack, but Valencia did not defend intensively, and in this case, he could not maintain the advantage for too long. Even if Barcelona players are tenacious, they will not be able to withstand such a blow!
In the next twenty minutes, facing Valencia, who retreated with all players, Barcelona's attack was fierce, but extremely chaotic. Although they besieged Valencia's goal, Valencia's defense was extremely stable. Once the four major midfielders retreated, they defended the front of the penalty area like an iron barrel.
Although Alberta was sent off with two yellow cards in the 85th minute, Barcelona still couldn't score again!
Tiger was replaced by Cooper with Angulo when the game was in stoppage time. At this time, the applause of Barcelona fans did not sound over the Camp Nou. However, Barcelona fans looked at this guy who had brought them a lot of pain with a very complicated look...
Compared with Reinker, who had performed well in Barcelona before, he is also a British player, why is this Tiger so annoying...
After the game, Tiger hugged his teammates on the bench one by one, then he wiped his sweat and stood there watching the next game.
The first champion is about to be won.
Tiger smiled slightly, but unexpectedly, the mission of this season was completed easily... But next time, I have to win a few more championships. I came to Valencia, not just to complete the mission.
I don't know if the championship this season can be considered next season...
While thinking about it, Tiger waited for the whistle to end the game and did not make him wait for long. After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. At the moment the whistle sounded, the cheers of five thousand Valencia fans burst into full swing of the Camp Nou!
This is Valencia's second consecutive championship, but before last season's Cup of Kings, the last honor they received dated back to 1980 - they won the Cup of Kings before that year, then won the Cup of European Winners in 1980, and then won the European Super Cup in August of that year. Next, there was a nineteen-year gap period!
No wonder even though this is an unimportant Spanish Super Cup, it is enough to make Valencia fans ecstatic!
Looking back at the indifferent appearance of Manchester United fans after Manchester United lost the Charity Shield, Tiger began to feel that playing football in such a team might be what he pursued. Before, there were fewer honors, and fans were more likely to be satisfied. Just like a piece of white paper, Tiger was able to use his own expression to draw his own chapter on this piece of white paper!
And what about Manchester United? No matter how brilliant it is, it is just adding a few strokes to the already formed drawings!
***************************************************
After winning the Super Cup, Valencia seemed extremely excited. For the old players before, winning two consecutive championships was enough to make them happy. The newly added players won a championship as soon as they arrived, which is also a very exciting thing. Cooper, who has always been serious and old-fashioned, also let the team stay in Barcelona for one more day and rest. He went back to Valencia on the 18th to prepare for the first round of La Liga league that will start on the 22nd.
The season started with a double game for a week, two of which were away games, from Valencia to Israel and then to Barcelona. The players really need to relax. Except for the injured who were sent back to Valencia to recuperate, the other players stayed in Barcelona. Valencia also needed time to prepare for their second championship trophy in nearly 19 years.
The last time Tiger came to Barcelona was after the Champions League final a few months ago. He returned to Manchester United directly that time and failed to have a good time to visit Barcelona.
Looking back on the madness between himself and Kelly that night, Tiger felt sad. Although he broke his word last time, he would not just let go of Kelly. Tiger thought a lot during this period. He had indeed ignored Kelly's existence before.
Thinking of this, Tiger decided to call Kelly.
The familiar number was successfully opened, but it rang for a long time, but no one answered it.
"Don't you even want to answer my phone?" Tiger thought in a daze. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Kelly's voice sounded from the other end.
In fact, after answering Tiger's call, Kelly also had a great ideological struggle. Before Tiger's words were not a product of impulse. After thinking later, Kelly did think that Tiger was not suitable for him - although he was a good person and did not mess around outside, he was better than many people in this regard, but the hobbies and lifestyles between the two are really far apart. It is also very different to see each other as before. If you live together for a long time, can there be no problem?
Kelly didn't want to answer this call, but in the end she answered Tiger's call.
"Are you... okay?" Hearing the familiar voice, Tiger felt a little emotional and asked softly.
"Fortunately, what about you." A very plain voice.
Originally, Tiger wanted to say something like that he won another championship, but when he heard such a dull voice, Tiger lost any mood to boast about his achievements.
"It's okay. Fortunately, I learned Spanish from you at that time, otherwise communication would have been a problem." Tiger replied, hesitating for a while, and finally sent an invitation: "I'm in Barcelona now. I'm on holiday tomorrow. Are you free? Let's take a day off in Barcelona."
Silence, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Kelly said quietly: "I still have a show tomorrow, so I can't go."
Tiger pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"Okay, sorry, I'm upset." After saying this, Tiger hung up the phone.
London, Kelly held the phone in her hand and looked blankly. After a long time, a tear dripped gently.
*********************************************
Tiger slept all night. That night, his teammates were shopping outside. When Mendita came to call him, Tiger refused his invitation, but lay on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep. He slept until seven o'clock the next morning, and then woke up.
Mendeta was sleeping soundly next to him, and Tiger did not wake him up - almost all the players played until the morning last night, and Spain was also a romantic country. Although they defeated the pride of the city yesterday, in the bar that night, Valencia's players gained a lot...
He got up gently and had breakfast in the hotel. Tiger was a little bored. He couldn't find someone to talk to. His teammates were all asleep. Each of them had only slept for a few hours. If he disturbed them at this time, Tiger felt that he couldn't get through.
However, I have to stay in Barcelona for a day, so I can't just stay here like this - after calling yesterday, Tiger knew that he and Kelly would probably not continue to have any entanglements, even if they still have feelings, time and distance will always make their feelings become increasingly weak.
No matter what, life has to continue.
Tiger began to think about how to spend this time. He had no interest in shopping and had no interest in shopping. He used to be an otaku who liked to play game consoles. Now he played less game consoles, but there were no new games to play. There was no place to go in broad daylight. How to get along this day...
After thinking for a long time, Tiger suddenly remembered that Almodovar's movie was filmed in Barcelona? As an investor, it would be fine to go and see it...
When investing in "Two Big Bowls", because he was also one of the investors, Tiger also watched their shooting on the spot several times. It was also very interesting to watch behind the scenes - "Two Big Bowls" were basically filmed in London, and Tiger also went to watch it on the spot during the London competition...
Thinking of this, Tiger immediately called Almodova and was quite polite to him, the big investor Almodova, not to mention that he had just led Valencia to defeat Barcelona yesterday - as a Real Madrid fan, Almodova seemed very happy with the result...
"Haha, Tiger, you performed so well yesterday!"
As soon as he saw Tiger, Almodovar immediately came up and gave Tiger a big hug.
"Please, I didn't help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. Why are you so happy? When did you change careers and become a Valencia fan?" Tiger joked.
"Well, before facing Real Madrid, I don't mind being a Valencia fan. After all, I will support my friend." Almodova replied with a smile: "Why, are you interested in watching the filming process today? You are the only investor in this movie. You have never met the actors since the filming started. Such an investor is really rare."
"After all, I'm not doing this... Besides, as a player, I hate people pointing fingers at my way of playing football, especially for an outsider. I think as a director, I should be in the same mood as me in this regard." Tiger shrugged and said.
Almodovar laughed: "That's right, because we are all professionals, so professionals have to do professional things. Let's get out of the way for others!"
Logically speaking, a director who specializes in art films should have a more delicate personality. In Tiger's imagination, he is the sentimental guy who frowned all day long and showed a hint of sadness from time to time - how do you say that? The sadness at the forty-five degrees angle, the bright sadness...
However, Almodovar subverted Tiger's impression, especially when he swears, Tiger feels that he is no different from those fans who shout "I want one leg of that guy" in the stands...
This made Tiger feel more intimate about this director who was over 20 years older than him. In fact, Almodovar, who was born in a poor family, is really such a person who is extremely generous in life.
"Let's go in and take a look. I'm very familiar with the place where you work, but you may not be familiar with the place where I work." Almodovar took a photo behind Tiger, and then led him into the studio.
This studio is similar to the studio that Tiger has seen. It has bright lights, various machines, wires everywhere in the sky, and staff walking back and forth... All of this is no different from the studio in "Two Big Smoke Bulleys" at that time.
However, there are still different places.
Almost all the actors in "Two Big Bowls" are men, and only a few women appear in the movie, and they are basically used as backgrounds. So when I came to the crew of "Two Big Bowls", Tiger was quite adaptable because there were a group of big men with a strong sweaty smell around me.
But when he entered the studio of "Everything About My Mother", Tiger began to feel that this studio was simply a paradise for men!
The waves are surging! The sound of orioles and the sound of swallows! Beauties are like clouds! The fragrance of the beauties is everywhere!
Looking at three groups of five in a bunch of various beauties, blonde, brunette, older, younger, from twenty to forty years old...
"Have I come to the Kingdom of Women?" The first thought in Tiger's mind was that he remembered a scene from Journey to the West that his father told him when he was a child...
***: I caught up... This time it shouldn't be the speed of life and death, hehe, keep asking for ***.
Chapter completed!
