028 The love of master and apprentice

If the match against Real Madrid gave Málaga fans a glimpse of Chenamuris's talent, the match against Osasuna made it clear to them the unrivalled role that the Spaniards have in today's Malaga team.

"He is an angel sent by God to help Malaga rise!" A Malaga fan said so emotionally.

Málaga's schedule this season has not been easy, with the Copa del Rey to play in addition to La Liga.

The Spanish Copa del Rey is a knockout tournament that combines the four levels of clubs in Spain "regardless of high and low", and it is also a cup that is rated by the media as an auxiliary small club.

The Copa del Rey has stimulated and promoted the operation of small local clubs, and many teams in the lower leagues can earn enough "rations" for a year by playing against La Liga teams.

The Copa del Rey format was reformed in the 05-06 season, with lower-division teams going through several knockout rounds before meeting La Liga teams. In a way, the number of games played by La Liga teams has been reduced, reducing the likelihood of upsets. But at the same time, the income of the small club will also decrease.

According to the Spanish Copa del Rey format, the first three qualifiers will be decided by one winner, from the fourth round until the semi-finals will be played over two legs, home and away, and the final will be decided by one winner.

The 11 La Liga teams that do not have to compete in the European competition will go directly to the fourth round, and the 17 teams decided in the first three rounds will go through two knockout rounds to determine the seven winners. The seven winners and the nine La Liga teams that have participated in the European competition form 16 teams that play two legs, home and away, until the winner is decided. (Note 1)

The first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey is scheduled for three days after the match against Osasuna, and only three days after the ninth round of La Liga.

It was only against Osasuna that Ferreira had the heart to keep Muris's body and prevent Mouris, who had a "defect" in his body, from playing frequently.

But this decision still made Ferreira suffer a lot of criticism.

Chairman Alsani, although he is also puzzled by Ferreira's decision, has already appointed Ferreira as the coach, and the two rounds of the game have been counterattacked beautifully, so he might as well observe for a while.

Although the shrewd UAE boss also knows whose handiwork these two rounds of counterattacks are from.

On the 27th, Hekus played against Malaga.

Hekus are a promoted team that returned to La Liga after a 13-year absence, having finished runners-up in La Liga last season.

Hekus, who has returned to La Liga, can be said to be scrappy and menacing.

In the first half, the two teams played 0:0. Both players played bravely, and Hekus, a promoted team who eventually climbed back into La Liga, showed their tenacity in the fight.

Especially after destroying the attack of Malaga, their hearty fighting spirit and shouts made Coach Ferreira have a bad premonition.

He immediately asked Muurice to warm up, and he couldn't let Hekus continue to play.

In the second half, the Spaniards in black jerseys appeared on the Josilico Perez stadium, which made many people exclaim that the black ghost is coming.

Curiously, the ghost didn't play with his ghostly pace at the Josilico Pérez Stadium, nor did he pull off a spectacular pass, and he didn't even show the precision of a locator at the El Sadar Stadium. He just flicked his toes and delivered well-placed short passes to reconnect the Malaga line of attack that had been disrupted by Hekus.

At the end of the match, Málaga won with only a one-point lead. Fans were not upset about this, but spoke highly of the game.

It wasn't a young man who only saw victory in his eyes, he knew better than anyone what this team really needed.

His wisdom and calmness have won praise from everyone.

And the role he plays on the field is becoming more and more like a rescue ace. Because every time he is sent on the field, it is to save the team.

Although fans would prefer that Coach Ferreira would value the young player and use him as the heart of the entire team to lead Malaga all the way. It wasn't this kind of necessity that pushed him into battle.

Ferreira is very satisfied with Murice's appearance, and at the same time, he is actively asking the strength and conditioning coach to develop the most reasonable training plan for Muris.

How much time the Spaniards can play on the pitch will directly determine how far they can go this season.

In the ninth round of La Liga, Malaga played Real Sociedad at home.

This time, the Spaniard started and led Malaga to a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.

The Real Sociedad players seem to be sleepwalking today. On the Malaga side, the two goals greatly encouraged them and the attack became more and more aggressive.

Ferreira thought he should be able to keep the win on his current form, so he replaced Murice.

There was hesitation on Mouris's face, he knew that Real Sociedad was not without fighting power, on the contrary, under the surface of sleepwalking, there was an undercurrent surging, and they could deal a fatal blow to Malaga at any time.

But he's a player, the coach is the manager of the whole team, and it's an honor for the coach to listen to him. But it doesn't mean that he can interfere with the manager's arrangement, what he has to do is to obey.

At such a time, it can only be believed that Malaga's teammates can withstand the onslaught of Real Sociedad's onslaught.

It was a thrilling game to watch, Malaga was a sure winner, but throughout the second half, it was directly beaten by the Real Sociedad players who suddenly became brave.

First Luke was injured and went off the field, and then the forward Fernando was also black-footed, and the angry Spaniard directly picked up his fist and punched the opposing player, and was directly sent off with a red card.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad, who kept a lot of body and seemed to be waiting for the moment when Muris was off, chasing Malaga and beating him.

Had it not been for Arnau's last goal, Málaga's players showed their determination and a two-point lead would have given them the three points to Real Sociedad.

Although the match ended in a draw, almost all the fans and the club's hierarchy were outraged.

There are many voices shouting for Ferreira to leave class, they think that the Porto coach is not suitable to lead the Malaga team, let him go back to Porto!

In their view, Coach Ferreira was only trying to secure his place in the dressing room, deliberately pressing Chenamouris and curtailing his playing time.

And Real Sociedad's series of counterattacks, what they feared the most was not a draw, but the weakness of the Spaniard's human body, which was well known to everyone.

If it weren't for the lack of body, why did Coach Ferreira rush to let the Spaniard go? Those laymen will only think that Ferreira is suppressing the Spaniards, and smart people can judge that Coach Ferreira is trying to hide the weaknesses of the Spaniards.

Yes, Real Sociedad played the first few games and found out that Coach Ferreira only let the Spaniard play half of each round. And judging from the video of the game against Real Madrid, the Spaniard did have some physical weakness in the second half. Although God's goal was reproduced, it could also be seen that he was holding on.

So, the manager of Real Sociedad made this bold arrangement. If the Spaniards had come on in the first half, they would have played conservatively and tried to confuse the Malaga players and the manager as much as possible. When the Spaniards are gone, that's when they counter-attack.

If Espanyol didn't play until the second half, they would have played to the death in the first half, and in the second half they would have been able to defend themselves and keep the win.

After the match, Ferreira was invited into the chairman's office.

The Emirati boss invited Ferreira to a seat and made him a cup of coffee with less sugar.

After that, the two sat opposite each other. After a moment of silence, the UAE boss smiled and said, "The team's affairs have bothered Coach Ferreira. Those boys are still obedient, I mean, did they obey your manager's arrangement? ”

"Mr. Xie's concern, this is my responsibility. The atmosphere in the team is good, everyone is united and eager to give back to the club by playing well this season. ”

"But I heard something different."

"Mr. President—"

"Coach Ferreira doesn't like Chena Muris? Is he not obedient enough, or has he already threatened your position in the locker room? Oh, don't take it personally, my head coach, I'm just curious, relax~"

Coach Ferreira's expression was very stern.

"Mr. President, no one values the talent of Murice more than me. Because I'm his manager, having such a talented player in the team is something that every manager is very proud of. If he could, I wanted him to play the whole game every game. But in fact, against Real Madrid, Murice reacted a lot after the game, and all the players were there at the time to testify to me. ”

"In these rounds, Muris still has a lot of physique, is Coach Ferreira overprotective of him?"

"It's so that Murice can stand on the stage for more games."

Arsani looked at Ferreira, his eyes narrowing slightly.

…………

Malaga Club Stadium.

Muurice stood in front of goal and practised his free-kicks.

At this time, it was already dark, and the dazzling headlights around the stadium illuminated the entire stadium. Murice was vaguely alone, kicking the ball in front of the goal again and again into any corner of the net.

Ferreira stood behind Murice at some point, watched the Spaniard raise his leg high, and the ball shot towards the goal like an aurora. The ball was much higher than the crossbar, but it fell at a rapid speed in front of the net, like a tomahawk chopping down from the sky, and the end was amazing!

Ferreira was amazed, but her expression was a little complicated, as if she was in pity, and she seemed to be regretful. But he still clapped his hands and stepped forward.

"Coach."

"A free kick?"

"Hmm."

"A lot of midfield superstars have amazing free-kick skills. Brazilian defender Marcos Asunsan, for example, was able to kick a terrifying free-kick with his right foot without even having to run. Known as the 'Angel's Foot', Marcelinho Carioca can kick a variety of styles of free kicks anywhere on the pitch and is known as the supreme in South America. Brazil's Juninho Jr. and Italy's Andrea Pirlo, the famous deciduous ball, also often stage stunners. There is also Beckham, who is known as the heartthrob, although that face adds a lot of color to him, but his free kick is really good. Especially his 'Best's scimitar', which has made many teams his soul. Oh yes, our Muurice is also a handsome guy, and he doesn't lose to that heartthrob at all. ”

"Thank you, Coach." Muurice really didn't pay much attention to the looks.

"I saw your ball just now, the arc is very weird, the speed is also very sharp, how long have you been practicing?"

"Three days."

"Three...... Three days? "Ferreira was really surprised, that kind of free kick of Cheng dù, even the greatest goalkeeper defense, may not be able to stop. But the young player told himself that it only took him three days.

"The last time the team was fouled and the referee awarded a free kick, I thought I had to practice the free kick well."

“…… Do you have a name? ”

"Tomahawk!" After thinking for two seconds, Muris said: "I hope that with this invincible battle axe, together with the coach and his teammates in Malaga, I can win glory and victory." ”

Ferreira froze, and after a while, he reached out and patted the Spaniard on the shoulder.

"Muris, I may be leaving Malaga soon."

Muris looked up in astonishment, then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly lowered his head.

"Oh, good boy, don't do that, it's not your fault. You know, it's me and the President who don't agree on many things. Seeing that the Spaniards showed a feeling called sadness, this famous coach of Porto, who was also decisive, suddenly became anxious.

But in his heart, he was still moved. At least in the heart of this talented player, there is him as a teacher.

In particular, this young Spanish player never shows emotions called joy and sorrow on the court. This time, the love was revealed so clearly, which had already filled the old coach's sour heart.

He loves this team, and although he has only been with him for four months, he sees infinite hope and a future in this team.

Málaga is a rising team, not just the talented midfielder, but the rest of the squad is constantly improving.

He has invested an unimaginable passion for this team.

He stayed up late to devise tactics for his players, excitedly and impatiently designing formations around Muris that looked incredible, but had full value for implementation.

Muris's presence has helped him to inspire a lot of energy in his coaching position, with many brilliant and bold ideas. He waited for the time when the Málaga squad would improve and be able to match Mouris more than every time.

However, before this qiē could be implemented, he was about to be fired from the club.

Muris kept his head down, knowing that the veteran coach was just reassuring him. His departure must be because of himself.

If he had let the coach know earlier, it was not that he was not in good health, but that he had just recovered and the coach had the intention to let him rest, and he would have responded with kindness. I don't know where things are going, and it's so hard to control.

The patience of the Emirati boss was not as good as he imagined.

When he first arrived in Málaga, the President had high expectations for him. But after that, he didn't get a chance to play for more than a month, and President Artsani didn't say anything or express displeasure. He thought he could give him at least two weeks to recuperate.

Although he also knew that a victory at the Bernabeu would tip the balance. It has made many things more uncontrollable.

But in this life, he just wants to be a player and play his own ball, not to intrigue with those who are on top. So many things, even if he was aware of them, did not take them to heart.

On that basis alone, Muris is apologetic to Coach Ferreira. Especially when he withstood the pressure, kept his body for him, and insisted that he only play half a game, although he wanted to tell the old coach that he was actually a "can't run", he also silently accepted the old coach's kindness.

If Ferreira knew what Mouris was thinking at the moment, he would have patted him on the shoulder and told him: It's not that Mr. President's patience is bad, it's just that no matter which club is the president, the interests come first. Seeing such a talented player underneath, it is inevitable that he will have an impetuous utilitarian heart.

He can win when he plays, so why keep him on the bench?

He is so young and he is not running on the field at the moment, does he have to wait until he is too old to run?

What they do best is to squeeze the players' body and make them as rich and valuable as possible for the club. It's not just Malaga, it's all about it.

"Muris, you know, I've always liked football that is both offensive and defensive. There are still many areas to be made up in this team of Malaga, whether it is attack or defense, neither side has the advantage. Several big wins have made fans and clubs misestimate the strength of Malaga. I can understand that they want the team to win, but they also have to think about what kind of cards they have. ”

Muurice nodded.

"But the chairman doesn't think so, he just wants to see artistic football. Every game, he wants you to give him the most subtle passes and goals. I'm worried that if you keep playing like this, one day you'll be dragged down by the whole club. ”

It is inherently difficult to cater to the meaning of the superior, everyone is greedy, especially after seeing something called art, there will be almost strict requirements for a player. They are less and less satisfied with the status quo, even if you win, as long as you once Waterloo, it is possible to make the past efforts and efforts go away.

'Murice, you still have a long career ahead of you, promise me that no matter what the club and the fans expect, you have to do what you can.

Muris looked up at Ferreira.

"I've seen too many good players who, at their very young age, have been overdrawing their physical and professional lives for club and country. He suffered an injury early on, and was eventually abandoned by the club and the national team. When a player is in his prime, he has to think about retirement. ”

At that time, no one remembers how much you have accomplished, and people will start to forget how you fought with injuries and kept fighting. You're crazy trying to play, but you don't get a chance to play.

Football is like the entertainment industry, it is a very realistic and cruel place. Once your strength drops, you will be yelled at by the fans. They are only remembered for the players who were the highlights and who kept scoring goals to win their cheers.

Ferreira's words are not to make Murice lazy and slippery, nor to make him forget his duty as an athlete to fight hard. But in today's highly anticipated day for the Spaniards, don't forget the sincere warning of a departing manager.

The expectations of the fans will form invisible pressure. The Spaniards, who have played a great role in Malaga, are under the heavy responsibility of too many fans to revitalize Malaga, and the pressure can be imagined. And this pressure will become heavier with each victory.

Countless young players have fallen quickly as soon as they flashed, in addition to their own reasons, the fans' high expectations are also an important aspect.

"I see, Coach." Pressure, for Muris, will only turn into an unyielding fighting spirit.

But he was truly grateful to the veteran coach for his care.

After saying these words, Ferreira's heart seemed to relax a little.

patted the young Spanish player on the shoulder, "Don't blame me, a bad old man, for letting your talented player sit on the cold bench for so long?" ”

"No, I just thank the coach for his trust and concern." Muris said, bowing solemnly to Ferreira.

Ferré's outstretched hand landed on the Spaniard's shoulder for half a day.

He has a lot of regrets, especially when he sees this young player so awkwardly and humbly expressing his gratitude.

"Good boy, although I have only been your coach for two months, you are my best disciple wherever you go. Even after I leave Malaga, I will be watching the growth of your proud disciple. ”

Muris maintained a bowing posture.

"You're the best player I've ever seen, and in my heart, you're better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."

“……”

"All right, get up, kid. Remember, you are a natural player and you will be the greatest midfield maestro. When that day comes, I can proudly tell everyone that I once had a disciple named Chena Muris! ”

The old coach hugged his proud disciple heavily and patted him on the back.

Where no one noticed, the old coach's eyes were red.

The news of the termination of Coach Ferreira and the club came out quickly. Although the club released the news that the Malaga club and Coach Ferreira broke up peacefully, many media still speculated that it may be related to the conflict in the Malaga dressing room.

The Spaniard is now the darling of the entire Málaga club's hierarchy, and even if it is a conflict with the manager, the top management wants to keep the Spaniard.

It is conceivable that if the incoming Malaga coach wants to win the heart of President Alsani, how to properly place Chena Mouris, the ace of the team, will be an important issue for them.

And the reason why Ferreira will leave class early is that his positioning as a Spaniard has not been affirmed by Chairman Arsani, Mouris's number one fan.

In his opinion, the Porto coach is not a good fit for the Malaga team, and he will not be able to fully exploit the talent of the midfield superstar of Mouris.

Among those famous coaches who are idle at home, they quickly locked in Real Madrid's abandoned coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Pellegrini, who has been the coach of Real Madrid and has a brilliant record, is definitely no problem as the coach of Malaga.

And the most optimistic about him is the former mentor-apprentice friendship between Peigong and Malaga ace players.

He was the mentor of Chena Mouris, the bole of his career, and it was he who brought the young Spaniard to the La Liga stage. Although it was a choice out of desperation, it was he who showed the world the Spaniard's amazing talent and unparalleled gorgeous skills.

Peigong's admiration and anticipation for this young player is also well known, after the Malaga match against Real Madrid, Peigong once gave an interview to the media, once praised the Spaniard as a natural player, he knew that he would one day shock the whole football world.

The most touching thing is that these two were purged by Real Madrid in the same season. A sense of sympathy spread throughout the Malaga fans. Almost immediately, they decided that Manuel Pellegrini would be the manager of Malaga.

The fact is that when announcing the peaceful parting with Coach Ferreira, the Malaga club was actively in contact with Pegong.

There are also some people who are a little sympathetic to Ferreira, after all, the old coach is very good-looking and good to the players and fans. It was too cruel to be kicked out of Malaga like this. Others can't let go of the conflict in that locker room for a long time.

Could it be that the seemingly elegant and kind Spaniard is still a thorn in the thorn that instigated the players to create conflicts in the dressing room?

This is simply the destruction of the image, compared to the departure of Ferreira, neither fans nor fans can accept that the Spaniard is the executioner of Ferreira's dismissal.

And Coach Ferreira, at the press conference that left, severely criticized and criticized this false speculation and rumor-mongering.

"From the coach to the players, Malaga is of the same mind from top to bottom, and there is no contradiction in the locker room." The old coach has always kept a straight face, which is quite intimidating. "As for the dressing room dispute between me and Murice, it's nonsense. Muurice was a very humble and polite child, very understanding of my every arrangement, and was grateful. ”

At this point, Ferreira slowed his tone, apparently talking to the media.

"Yesterday, my most proud disciple and I said goodbye to the club stadium. He was a hard-working kid and the club training was long over, so he stayed alone to train. He's working on a new kind of free-kick and believes that the moment it's shown on the pitch, the goal he will remember will be more than just a 'God's goal'. ”

This news can also become the headlines, Coach Ferreira called Mouris his most proud disciple, not only that, but Muris has also practiced new stunts, and in the mouth of Coach Ferreira, this kind of goal can be compared to God's goal!

"My disciple, Muris, said something that touched me very much. Especially since I'm about to leave Malaga, this feeling has become even stronger. He said he wanted to use the free-kick to win with his coach and team-mates. I regret that I will not be able to continue to lead Malaga to the fulfillment of the promises made at the beginning of my tenure. I am also very reluctant to leave these loving disciples. But as I said to Muurice yesterday, wherever I stand next, I'm going to watch him grow and cheer and cheer for every victory. ”

From the old coach's emotional departure interview, fans who shouted for Ferreira to step down and misunderstood Murice were silenced.

In their opinion, a pair of masters and apprentices competing for the right to speak in the locker room do not have a struggle for fame, fortune and status. They are just a kind teacher who wants to wash away false rumors for his disciples even after leaving, and good players who are respectful and courteous to their teachers and hardworking to win glory for the club with the players and coaches of Malaga.

"I don't care about the speculation and doubts about me, I've been a coach for 30 years, I'm used to the ups and downs, and I'm about to leave Malaga. But Muris can't, he's still young, and he has the most sincere and grateful heart. I hope you will be kind to him, he is the most faithful child of Malaga—"

Ferreira's departure interview, countless female fans looked at it and cried. Football is also a place of emotion, and not every coach and player thinks about themselves.

The outside world has also changed its tone towards Ferreira and Murice.

Murice, without a doubt, is a good player, regardless of whether he leaves Malaga and goes to a higher professional stage. As long as he is in Málaga one day, he will be a faithful child of Malaga.

Coach Ferreira, the old coach may not be that compatible with Malaga, but he is a kind and kind old man. I wish him a good mentorship at his next stop.

But in football, even if there is true love, it is more cruel. In a situation like Muris and Ferreira, there are not many cases where a peaceful breakup can still make fans cry.

It can only be said that the Spaniard named Chena Muris really has a charm that can make the people around him willing to think about him and take care of his growth.

His appearance on the pitch really deserves a different look from a coach.

On the day Coach Ferreira left, the players went to the airport to see them off. Muris was a step too late, holding a beautiful food box and handing it to the kind old coach.

"My father is very grateful to the coach for taking care of me during this time, knowing that you love fish, he made two for you overnight."

The old coach was very happy, opened the food box on the spot, and sniffed happily.

"It's so fragrant, thank you for me, father."

"Okay."

Jesús Games probably felt that the scene of the master and apprentice holding the food box and talking was very loving and eye-catching. took a photo and put it on his Twitter, causing quite a stir.

If there were still bad suspicions that Ferreira had taken money from the club to clear up the negative reports about the club, then there was nothing to say when I saw this photo.

The old coach in the photo smiled brightly, looking at his proud disciple with a gentle expression. The expressionless and calm Spaniard on the pitch, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there seemed to be a glimmer of spring in his eyes.

That picture is so beautiful. A kind of admiration of ancestors and grandchildren, and I don't know who first proposed this word, but it was unanimously approved.

And they are sure that the Spaniards, who are cold on the outside, have the most gentle and delicate hearts. For the coach who left, it is rare to be so attentive.

However, there is no feast in the world, let alone in the ever-changing football world. I can only wish the old coach a smooth journey, and Muris can also thrive.
