Chapter 3 Elche
Ai Fan has been very depressed lately, the league has begun, he thought he could show his talents, he was not sent to play in three consecutive games, not even in the squad, and his teammates are all lifeless and lifeless, suffering three consecutive defeats at the beginning.
The local newspapers began to ridicule "Jesus can't save Elche!" This is not nonsense, because the full name of the head coach Uribe is Jesus? Uribe, such a bullish name still looks pale in front of his teammates who have no fighting spirit, but he doesn't know what this great god is thinking, knowing that these players have no desire to play, but they still insist on sending them on the field.
Ai Huan also approached him, but the answer he got was, "You are still too young to meet my requirements, so you must be patient." But don't worry, your chance will come, and I hope that when your chance comes, you can give me a miracle. "It's a very beautiful word, but where this opportunity is, Ai Huan can't see it.
There was another thing that he couldn't figure out, the whole club seemed depressed and low, even during training, it was rare to hear someone laughing happily, at most only one or two people occasionally whispered, but immediately after speaking, he regained his cold face. After training or the end of the game, everyone always walks quickly, as if they have a lot of things to deal with, which makes Ai Huan come here for a month, but he still doesn't know much about the other team members.
With no choice but to do so, he called Pierre. Pierre left immediately after signing the contract, he didn't make any money in this business at all, so he had to run for life, and it was impossible to stay with Ai Huan, but Ai Huan still got the answer he wanted from him, and the complexity of the matter was far more complicated than he imagined.
It turns out that this club was founded in 1922, and it has a history of nearly 100 years now, although it has been up and down in the leagues at all levels, but there are always good times. Last year, the club had a good result, and even for a long time it was ahead of other teams, but at the critical moment of the first division, something suddenly happened.
The club's old president was arrested on charges of illegal money laundering, and the entire club was implicated. Since then, the results of the whole club have plummeted, everyone's mind is gone, and of course there is no promotion in the end, and the coach and most of the main players from last year have also left, and now almost all those who remain are people who have no way.
Everyone has no mental game is not only because of their ability, the most important thing is that the police investigation has been continuing, all the club's funds have been seized, and now even the Football Association is waiting for the final result, who knows if there will be additional penalties, and if one is not good, the club may not be there.
Ai Huan finally understood why these people had no energy, they were all worried about their future, who was still in the mood to talk and laugh. But what he couldn't understand was Uribe's approach, and why did he do it now? Did he want to go down the rank without passing the trial? Thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, so he stopped thinking about it.
After hanging up the phone, Ai Huan knew that he had been tricked by Pierre, but he was not angry, because he knew that there was no way out. I am Chinese, and China is a football desert, and it is as difficult as climbing over the Himalayas to make Europeans identify as a Chinese/Chinese in this field. What's more, he is still a person who is not famous at all, and ordinary clubs will not give him such a chance, maybe even domestic clubs will not give him, so he can only accept him when he goes to this kind of club, and only in such a place.
As for the future, it is not a problem, as long as this club is relegated, Pierre will definitely tell others that Ai Huan is from Elche, which is also a resume, but Ai Huan wants to know, why can't he play now, will it be his own training video for others to see? But that's not something I have to worry about.
Today's fourth game, it is still home, but Ai Huan is still not included in the eighteen-man squad, but he is used to it, he didn't even go to the stadium, he directly boarded a tour bus, and started a tour of the city, he has been here for more than a month, and it is the first time he has time to wander around, and no one of his other teammates pays attention to his every move, who cares about such a person.
When people think of Spain, they immediately think of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville or Granada. But Spain's south coast is the perfect holiday destination. Elche is a small town located in the province of Alicante, in the autonomous community of Valencia in southern Spain. The population here is only about 160,000, and the real commercial center is a Wenzhou shoe city, (yes, it is Wenzhou shoe city in China) but there are 16 large and small hotels in such a small city, which can be seen how developed the tourism industry in this small city is.
The palm grove is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, named because it is the most successful "exotic species". It is said that during the Spanish Civil War, it was precisely because of the protection of this palm grove (from the sky that it was a complete oasis and the city could not be seen). However, it seems that some of it was cut down later, and the city began to protect it after the World Heritage application was successful in 2000. There is also a mystery drama that is also a world cultural heritage, but Ai Huan really can't be interested in that kind of thing.
His purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to go to the beach, although the blue sea and white sand coconut grove sunshine are not the same as his hometown, but the sea is always the same, maybe when the sea at this time has been to his hometown, as long as he thinks of these Ai Phantom dull mood will become a little better.
But when he got into the car, his mind was wandering, and when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was in the wrong car, and he originally wanted to go to the beach, but he went to a man-made waterfall.
Speaking of man-made waterfalls, it is actually a dam built on the edge of a lake, and there used to be some tourists who liked to come here, but that place is in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains in the suburbs, and the road is not easy to walk and you have to climb the mountain, so there are gradually no tourists.
