Chapter 49: Again for the rest of the class
The next day, the two made an appointment to hang out together as if they were fine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Gao Han proposed to let Chu Yao join him, after all, everyone was in a foreign country.
But Lin Xia said that Chu Yao refused to go, saying that she would prefer to stay at home to see her Takuya Kimura.
For the agreement that night, they were very tacitly as if it had never happened, but the relationship between them seemed to be one step closer than before.
Gao Han took the sketch and ran to find someone to frame it, but his face was not thick enough to be as he himself said.
He just framed the painting and hung it up and admired it slowly.
For the next few days, the two went on a binge in downtown Madrid, and then went to Toledo in the south for a day.
There, Gao Han was recognized by a Toledo fan and almost couldn't come back.
It's a joke.
In fact, the fan just used a joking tone and threatened him with a smile, "You beat us 5-0, and you dare to come to play with us?"
But in Toledo, it was a lot of fun.
However, happy and leisurely days always pass very quickly.
After Christmas, the team regrouped and began to prepare for the upcoming second half of the season.
Before the holiday, Gao Han handed over the transfer of two players to Paul Futres, and the club has been following up.
Albacete are also optimistic about Pablo Ibáñez's prospects, but the La Liga side themselves understand that Atletico Madrid want their players and they simply can't keep them.
Besides, they simply couldn't commit Pablo to a place in the first team.
Eventually, after much thought, Albacete agreed to Atletico Madrid's request.
For 700,000 euros, Gao Han got the tall central defender as he wished.
Pablo Ibáñez's transfer went well, and after Albacete agreed, Gao Han personally called Pablo Ibáñez and told him what he thought of him, and the player also promised on the spot that he was willing to join the second team of Atletico Madrid and play for Gao Han.
The club and the players agreed, and the rest was a matter of procedure.
But in another transfer, Andoni Iraola, who wanted to buy Athletic Bilbao, hit the wall.
As Paul Futrey said, Athletic Bilbao refused to sell the team's hopeful.
Atletico Madrid also contacted Andoni Ilora's agent, but the agent told the player that he has no intention of leaving Athletic Bilbao for the time being, as he is a die-hard fan of the team.
In other words, unless Atletico Madrid kills Athletic Bilbao at a high price, Won't get Andoni Ilora.
Let's not talk about whether Atletico Madrid has enough financial resources to play the role of a local tyrant, even Gao Han is not interested.
Because he always believes in a saying, a twisted melon is not sweet.
Although the scouting team soon sent in a list of players, and Gao Han also watched several of them carefully, in the end, for various reasons, he decided to abandon the introduction of right-back.
His character is like this, he would rather lack than excite.
Besides, it's not true that there is no right-back in the team.

On 7 January 2001, the B2 League was rekindled.
Atletico Madrid II is at home against Serro.
Halfway through the season, Sherro has only picked up 22 points from 19 league games, sitting 15th in the league, close to the relegation zone, and is now battling relegation.
After the Christmas holiday, the team re-trained and the players were generally out of shape, so although it was a home game, Atletico Madrid played very poorly.
Several youngsters, including Fernando Torres, Villa, Xavi Alonso and Antonio López, who have just signed new contracts with the team, are in a slump and have clearly not adjusted from the holidays.
On the contrary, it was the new youngster Pablo Ibañez who showed his ability well in the game.
As judged by the scouting team, the player is tall and strong, but not slow, with a brave style of play, a lot of hard work, and has been trained by the Spanish academy since he was a child, and has good skills and ball ability.
Whether it was the phone call, the first meeting later, or the training after joining the team, Pablo's attitude was quite good, and he also respected Gao Han.
Therefore, Gao Han also likes this kid very much, and in today's game, two three-star defensive cards with a total of 20 minutes were all used on him, and he felt like cultivating this kid in the shortest possible time.
No way, who made Gao Han lack a guard now?
However, Pablo was also very competitive in the game, although it was a newcomer and the first time to play in the second league, he led the team's back line very well, which reassured the manager and teammates, and finally lived up to Gao Han's high expectations for him.
On the offensive side, it was not until the 83rd minute of the second half that Atletico Madrid II finally scored a goal from Villa to help Atletico Madrid II win all three points.
This also made Gao Han happy.
Since the team broke the B2 winning streak, Gao Han can now earn two achievement points for every game he wins.
One is a winning reward and the other is a record reward.
This also allows him to accumulate achievement points faster.
With the addition of these two points in the twentieth round, it is already thirty.
…………
…………
While the second team celebrated their 20-game winning streak at the Estadio Espino, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 with Albacete at the Estadio Calderón.
Yes, Pablo Ibáñez's former club.
Even more tragic is that the performance of the Sheets Army throughout the game was unsatisfactory, and the fans in attendance were even more dissatisfied.
However, as Marca's chief reporter Matayana said in his comments the day after the match, Marcos Alonso did not give his best in this round of the league, instead leaving the main squad behind and actively preparing for the Copa del Rey in midweek.
It was the knockout round of 16 against Madrid's city team, Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
Matayana even made a bold prediction in his comments that Marcos Alonso would be sacked if the Copa del Rey was unfavorable.
This was quickly confirmed by José Ramón de la Morena, the famous host of Radio Serre.
But in the entire Spanish media circle, all Atletico Madrid fans regarded the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 as a key game to decide Marcos Alonso's stay, but the Spanish young coach dropped the chain at a critical moment.
Atletico Madrid sat at home and suffered a 2-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano.
Throughout the match, Marcos Alonso was defeated at the tactical level by Juan de Ramos.
Interestingly, Juander Ramos is where he is today thanks to Atletico Madrid and Zambrano.
In the 98-99 season, Zambrano led the second team of Atletico Madrid to the runner-up of La B, but because the second team had to be one level lower than the first team, he could not be promoted to La Liga, and could only vacate the promotion places.
As a result, Juande Ramos's Rayo Vallecano, although only fifth in the league, defeated Sevilla in the play-offs and won the right to promotion, and Ramos also led the team to the first season of promotion to La Liga, won the ninth in the league, and was relegated, and has become famous since then.
But time has passed, and two years later, Juan de Ramos led Rayo Vallecano, and at the critical moment when Atletico Madrid needed to win the most, he ruthlessly stabbed the Sheets in the chest again, which is indeed embarrassing.
A 2-0 defeat at home to Rayo Vallecano in the first leg essentially condemned Atletico Madrid to death.
With all the home games playing like this, who can expect away from home?
By the end of the game, the entire Calderón stadium was inundated with boos from angry fans.
Thousands of fans chanted slogans demanding Marcos Alonso's resignation and Hill Sr. stepping down.
The next day, almost the entire Madrid media reported on the event, pointing the finger at Marcos Alonso, who blamed him for his line-up in the game, which led to the team's heavy defeat.
At the same time, many of the players in the team were also criticized, because it was their poor performance in the game that led to the team's defeat and suffered the shame of this heavy defeat.
But in this mourning, no player has stood up and avenged the head coach.
This proves that Marcos Alonso has not been supported by any player in the team.
The management has also silenced the public, and although the media unanimously believes that Marcos Alonso will be sacked, there has been no news.
At the weekend, Atletico Madrid lost 1-0 away to Sporting Gijón and dropped to 20th place in the table.
By the way, Javier del Pino, the center forward who switched from Atletico Madrid to Sporting Gijón this season, except for three substitute appearances at the beginning of the season, was completely left in the cold and did not perform at all.
This also makes many people more trusting of the vision of alpine material selection.
…………
…………
When Atletico Madrid's first team suffered another setback on the road, Atletico Madrid's second team also played away.
The destination is the stone town of Ávila, more than eighty kilometers from Madrid.
After a week's rest, the players of Atletico Madrid's second team have clearly recovered some form, beating Avila 2-0 away to make it 21 wins in a row.
This also makes Atletico Madrid II team in the first group of the second league, with a proud record of as much as 20 points ahead of the second place Ourense, far ahead, and riding the dust.
After the game, Gao Han did not accompany the team back to Madrid, but accompanied Lin Xia, who was on vacation, and stayed in Avila to play all day.
The Spring Festival is coming, Lin Xia wants to return to China, but Gao Han has no way to go back, so he can only buy some things, and Torin Xia brings them back to his parents, which is considered to be filial piety.
Gao Han also felt the bad situation of the first team, especially the oppressive enough suffocating atmosphere in the sports city, which can be seen by the blind.
However, this has nothing to do with the high cold.
As Lin Xia said, even if there is a verbal commitment from Little Hill, as long as the management does not make a formal decision for a day, the affairs of the first team have nothing to do with Gao Han.
Therefore, Gao Han continued to lead his second team and continued to care about his opponent in the next round, Ourense.
In the second matchup of the season, Ourense learned to be good this time.
When I came to the Espino Stadium, Ourense didn't come out when he was killed, he just cowered in his own half and didn't come out, looking like you have the ability to bite me, which was very depressing.
Atletico Madrid II had the advantage, but they were never able to break through Ourense's goal.
It wasn't until just before the end of the second half that Xavi Alonso took advantage of a corner kick to set up Pablo Ibañez's header past Ourense.
At this moment, Gao Han realized that he had neglected set-piece tactics.
In fact, there are skill cards in the store that are selling to improve the success rate of set-pieces, but they have been ignored by Gao Han.
It's really undeserved!
At the same time as Atletico Madrid's second team defeated Ourense 1-0, far away in the high-level conference room of the Calderón Stadium in the city, the elder Hill finally made a difficult decision under the persuasion of his son, Cerezo and Paolo Futré.
Marcos Alonso, class is over!
