In addition to the league, Forlan's FC Groningen also has to fight in the Dutch Cup.

The Dutch Cup is played in six rounds, with first-division teams like Groningen starting in the second round, and unlike the two-legged cup competitions that Forlan has played in, the Dutch Cup matches are played in a decided-out format, with a 90-minute draw going on extra time and a draw in extra time going to penalty shootouts.

One of the main features of the Dutch Cup is that the top five teams from last season's league and the winner of the last edition of the Dutch Cup, a total of six teams, do not need to participate in the first three rounds of the competition, and until the end of the third round, these six teams will compete with the ten teams that qualified in the third round to form the round of 16. It is worth mentioning that Groningen, a club that has never done anything great in the Eredivisie, won the Dutch Cup in 2015.

That's not the biggest concern for Fran at the moment, and Fran's biggest headache right now is Ruscelles. Although Ruscelles likes to pretend to be stupid in his usual life, he has always listened to Fran's guidance at the competitive level. This time Forlan wanted him to be more involved on the offensive end of the team, and Ruscelles agreed, but it was obviously difficult to implement.

However, it was Casaro who moved from Castile to surprise Forlan, and at a time when center forwards are becoming more and more rare, it is hard to find an orthodox center forward with such delicate and comprehensive skills, who is good at dribbling and heading over, and can actively block and steal.

Sure enough, Real Madrid must see that he is a descendant before he can rest assured that he will be sold over.

But it was also because of this that Fran, who was originally available for Groningen's two strikers, had some appetite, and felt that if he could have a rare striker, why couldn't he find the rest of the good turnips?

He kept calling Vansett for this, saying, "Don't you still have money left, I want a striker, I want a striker, I want a striker!" and Vansette just seems to understand and doesn't understand every time Haha, it seems that everything is under control and nothing seems to be progressing.

At the end of the third round of the Eredivisie, Groningen won three in a row, trailing Ajax and FC Twente on goal difference, and temporarily sitting in third place in the Eredivisie. It was obviously a good start, but the Eredivisie commentator was puzzled by the seemingly different tactical arrangements for the three games at Groningen: "Is this the consistent style of the Real Madrid coaches? I don't know what I played, but I just could win?"

It was in this situation that □□ director of education, Vansette, came to Forlan's office, he focused on the photo of Forlan with his pet dog on the desk, and said as if inadvertently, "The transfer period is about to expire in a few days, do you have any other players you want?"

"I want a striker, the kind that can cut inside, can you bring it?" Fran's tone was a little resentful, he had told him so many times, why do you need to ask?

Seeing that Fran seemed a little angry, Van Seet hurriedly explained, "I've been preparing gifts for you recently, and now that I've heard what you said, I think it's really a big gift." ”

"Huh?" Fran replied without expectation, only to see Vansett smug on his face, "I brought you Alger Robben." ”

2、

When it comes to players in football who can really be named after the 'Little Prince of Cut', even someone like Fran who has seen countless players can only think of one name.

Alger Robben.

Admittedly, Robben is 34 years old this year, and if it weren't for his age and relatively many injuries, he would not have been easily taken away by Bayern Munich for a transfer fee that Groningen can afford. But just as Forlan didn't feel like he couldn't play at Real Madrid when he retired, he doesn't feel like Robben is in a slump when he's old.

He said before that the 4-1-2-2-1 central winger drops back to act as a shadow striker, relying on short passes in the midfield to find gaps when attacking, and the shadow striker cuts inside to break down with the center forward, rather than a low cross like a wingback.

He has a centre forward with plenty of fitness and a promising future, and now the club is worried about sending a well-known Robben who has officially played from Groningen. Fran thinks that he is not a god to eat, and someone will send a pillow when he falls asleep!

Where's Zlatan! Let the club beckon and buy the 37-year-old guy who hasn't retired at a low price.

"Suarez is also 32 years old, do you think you can buy him back?" thought Fran, did he underestimate the appeal of the club Groningen to the players of yesteryear?

Vansette felt that Fran was really an inch, "Why don't you let me bring Messi back for you?"

Didn't Messi say that if he wanted to go back, he would only choose the first division? Fran thought like this and smiled, "Isn't our Messi already in Groningen?"

Obviously, the 'we' here refers to Sweden, Sweden's rising star Tiblin is playing for Groningen, and he has been a Sweden Under-21 starter in the midfield position, and he is regarded by Sweden as their little Messi. It's just that such inspirational players are not as popular in the Swedish national team as physically fit, but Fran can provide him with more opportunities to express himself.

This head, no matter how much the athletic director slandered, Robben was still successfully brought to Fran. To be honest, Fran Robben was still a little dazed when he saw the identity of the head coach, he had a good relationship with Fran when he was in Real Madrid, but he didn't expect that the two would be able to play for the same club again after so many years, and Fran's identity is already the head coach of the Eredivisie club.

Groningen has a bright future for Fran.

3、

Groningen are facing PSV Eindhoven in the seventh round of the league, who are currently top of the Eredivisie with six consecutive wins, and they have received a warm welcome when they entered the stadium without causing hostility from PSV Eindhoven.

Although this welcome was actually given to Robben who was 'welcome home'. But it still made Fran uncontrollably think that when he returned to Madrid with Groningen, would he also get such a welcome ceremony?

In the end, Arjen Robben scored a classic Robben-style inside to give Groningen another goal, which was topped by a header from Russell in stoppage time. The fans who travelled to PSV Eindhoven with the squad celebrated wildly, with their eyes as scrappy young managers, rejuvenated veterans and young people with a bright future.

Russells' performance in this game was exceptional, so much so that although Robben broke the deadlock of the game, the MVP player of the game was Ruscelles. He provided Groningen's midfield with unlimited firepower in attack, making him feel as if he could do anything. After the game, Ruscelles ran to the sideline dugout, dodging the little goalkeeper who rushed out of the bench and seemed to want to give him a bear hug, and threw himself into Forlan's arms.

Subconsciously holding the 190-year-old tall man in his arms, Fran almost heard the sound of his bones creaking in protest, and the bear child obviously didn't know how much impact he had caused Fran, and he rubbed his sweat on Fran's blue suit. Fran chose the color because he didn't need to pretend to be as deep as his peers, but it was clear that the seniors had made a sense of the choice - Nirmar Russells' sweat stains were too conspicuous on such a suit.

"You kid," Fran gritted his teeth, "you burst the buttons of my carefully selected blazer. ”

Groningen, who have beaten the Eredivisie hegemony, won seven consecutive victories and qualified for the Dutch Cup, have finally made themselves a headroom in European football with their results.

Well, but no one knows why Forlan insisted on carrying Ruscelles all the way back to the tunnel.

Forlan has been a little worried lately, not because of the smooth development of the club, but about his weight.

From the moment he was hugged by Russell on the sidelines and his suit was broken, Fran knew he couldn't be so indulgent. To be honest, the usual amount of food can't match the amount of exercise when the player is a player, and there is only one way to get rich. Although everyone can't see it yet, he really doesn't want to accept the title of 'Fa Fu coach Alvarez'.

The Groningen players found that their club coach had changed his habit of riding and training with the team to training with the whole long-distance running with the team. The food has also changed from the nutritional imbalance of big fish and meat, to the team's unified healthy meals and cold food. The players privately joked that the manager's husband had found a sense of love in the Netherlands, so he started to stay in shape. Robben's age is a lot for Groningen, a team that is 80% post-90s, but after all, this is the home base of the former Dutch national team captain, and he fits in very well and feels like a lot younger.

Well, after all, it is impossible for more than a dozen people to be idle at the same time at Bayern Munich to discuss the question of why Ancelotti is so fat.

Ah, it's nice to be young, physically strong, focused on playing, and with a lot of hair. Robben inevitably felt more emotional.

So during the winter break, Ruichao came to Groningen to witness the 'inflated Fran' mentioned by netizens, and Ibrahimovic couldn't believe it when he saw Fran outside the airport, this is the swelling in your mouth, what are you kidding?

"Is there something wrong with you? Everywhere you went in your twenties was casual, and now you're almost forty and wearing sports tights again?" Ibrahimovic thinks that there have always been Fran fans who have been quietly commenting on him lately, and he is not wrong.

Obviously, in the past three months, Fran has taken great pains not to ruin his image as a male god, his muscles are not overdeveloped, but there is definitely no lack of strength and beauty brought by lines, although as the head coach he always has to stand on the sidelines in full clothes It is impossible to deliberately show the mermaid line, but the suit is sometimes so magical, it can hide some changes in your figure, and it can also show your charming posture.

In this regard, Ibrahimovic really wants to ask so many managers around the world, should you be very busy with Groningen's excellent record, where do you have so much time and energy to get fit?

Fran, who had planned to bring Ibrahimovic to the Eredivisie from the Swiss Super League during the winter break, blackened his face, because Ibrahimovic decided not to tell him the news today.

Speaking of transfers during the winter break, sporting director Vansett, who has always felt that a new coach like Forlan is easier to deal with, is a little unacceptable this time. Is it that he is too smooth, Robben has not had any major injuries in the six months since he came back because of the reasonable rotation and relaxed schedule, which makes him feel that Ibrahimovic can also adapt well?

Of course, the former Sweden captain did prove himself in the Eredivisie, but he is 37 after all, 34 Robben and 37 Ibrahimovic, this is to put together an aging forward line?

"He's not a big transfer fee, right? You just buy me a regular backup centre-forward, don't take his previous names too seriously. "Forlan's attitude is very ordinary, Van Set thinks that only the brain circuit like Mr. Chairman can smoothly connect with Forlan, you let Ibrahimovic come to the Eredivisie club as a substitute, have you asked people if Ibrahimovic is happy?

'I said he came to Groningen and I took him to the Champions League, which he had never won, and he would say yes. ”

Seeing that Forlan really thought he could lead Groningen to win the Champions League, Van Set almost wanted to roar, you don't think that you have won more Champions Leagues yourself, and winning the Champions League is an easy thing.

Forlan raised his eyebrows and looked at Van Seet, and Van Seet realized that he had accidentally said these words, and Forlan scratched his head helplessly, "Seriously, I have also experienced how difficult it is to win the Champions League... Why do you think Groningen doesn't have any of them?"

"Obviously, because it hasn't even won the Eredivisie yet. Vanset replied weakly, feeling unable to cope with Fran's whims.

Forlan raised his hand and grabbed it in the void, this action made Vanset confused, but heard Forlan say very confidently, "But aren't we going to win the Eredivisie title this season?"

FC Groningen are now second in the league, two points behind PSV Eindhoven, which in Forlan's view is almost a one-game match in the second half of the season. Vansette patted Forlan on the shoulder, wanting the young man to be down-to-earth and not be so impetuous, knowing that the last loser is often so confident in the halfway, "Be careful, aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to keep your Europa League seat in the end?"

Forlan heard that Vanset was softening, and said with a grin, "Hey, isn't the Dutch Cup winner guaranteed a place in the Europa League?"

Vansette clearly didn't want to deal with him.

The protagonist's path to becoming a god in Shuangwen is always smooth. Oscar, who has been fought hard all their lives, is easy for them, and they can confidently say to a certain Li that Oscar is not worth pursuing; other people's thousands of years of practice only need a few opportunities for them to rise to the top.

your logic! There's no such logic!

But after all, the author surnamed Ye wrote a competitive essay dressed in a cool skin, and he wanted to let himself go, so-

"Congratulations to FC Groningen, who have won the Eredivisie for the first time in their history and for the first time in their history have won both the league and the Dutch Cup. ”

"Francisco Alvarez's season in charge has been perfect for Groningen, and next season we will see them on the European stage!"

Well, it's that simple.

The author surnamed Ye silently picked up his hair that had fallen off.

The author has something to say: next season with Ibrahimovic to conquer Europa.

You see how much I listen to you, if you let Big Eevee play, I won't care if it's right or not.
