Chapter 167

Casillas didn't know why he thought Juan's voice was a little weird, but he didn't think much of it.

The lord's care for Juan is known to everyone in the football world, especially in terms of liking, and there are even rumors that the lord likes the Portuguese more-

Isn't it?

In the whole Manchester United, his favorite person is Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the coach, he also pays special attention to Juan Dias, and he also brings it himself.

The lord is not shy about this matter at all, and he directly raised his eyebrows on this issue: "First of all, I want to say that I have never favored any player or anyone, and if they make mistakes, I will still punish them." ”

- Really??

Why haven't they heard of the lord punishing Cristiano Ronaldo??

Myanmar stood with the eyes of the media, and the lord was very calm: "But for children who often don't make mistakes and are very serious, I still like them very much, no one doesn't like children who work hard, right?" ”

"So you mean ......?"

"Cristiano and Dias are both very serious, very professional players – former players are players too, aren't they? They did well when they were at Manchester United and they brought a series of changes to the team, and I think all the fans at Manchester United can see that. ”

- So the conclusion is, there's nothing wrong with him actually being so partial, right?

For a while, the media reporters were speechless by the Jue brand hair dryer.

However, it is not without reason that the talent of both men is amazing, Cristiano is now on full swing at Manchester United, the Lord has discovered his power, and as the new seven, the Portuguese has quickly gained a large crowd at Manchester United.

And what about Juan Díaz?

Although his performances on the pitch were fleeting like meteors, no one has ever forgotten him – United just lack a midfielder like him.

However, his current performance in charge is impressive enough, and even at the beginning, everyone laughed and said: "Juan Díaz must have left with the master's tactical board, he must have stolen a lot from the master." ”

But now, when Deportivo breaks out with her own personal style, no one says that anymore.

Juan also knew that the lord took care of him, and he was grateful that he never dared to forget it, so when the lord called, he never slackened.

'Juan, next game against Chelsea......

"Must win?" Juan was a little helpless, but most of it was still clear.

The Times conducted a survey on "which team you hate the most in the entire Premier League", and Manchester United narrowly beat Chelsea to remain at the top of the table.

Most of the Red Devils are proud of this.

Why?

Because they are hated and feared by other teams in the Premier League, it proves that they are afraid of Manchester United, and they are defeated by Manchester United alone, so they hate Manchester United!

For that reason alone, the Reds die-hard are enough to love Manchester United.

"It's one thing to win." To his surprise, the first thing the lord said was not to win, and the old Scotsman sighed on the phone.

'The main thing is that you watch out for your players, Chelsea play with movement at your feet, you are smart. The lord told him carefully, Juan nodded earnestly, and he remembered everything that the lord had taught.

After saying this, the lord hesitated for a moment and said, "Although it has not been announced to the public, it is ...... Cristiano suffered a minor injury from this game. ”

The lord's voice didn't sound as worried as he imagined, so Juan was nervous at the first time he heard the news, and then eased: "Is he okay?" ”

"It's not a big problem, when he was in the opposite position with Terry, this kid didn't try his best to overtake, but Terry didn't hesitate to put him down."

Juan recalled that there was indeed such a scene in the game he watched in the tactical class: "He seemed to be okay when I watched it? ”

“…… Come on, don't you know this kid? I know that I am strong," Ferguson sighed, "I used to cheat and play tricks, and I knew how to use some means to protect myself, but now it seems that because his father's illness has worsened, he is not in a very good mood." ”

When he said this, Juan's mood was also a little heavy, although he had only a few acquaintances with Cristiano's father, but he could also see that it was a father who was very proud of his son.

Cristiano is usually a big boy who takes care of his family, and he has been a little unhappy since he heard that his father was sick, but he is still very conscientious when he is on the court, and when he thinks of this, the lord can't help but sigh a little.

After a moment of silence, the lord continued: "Don't say it's you, I was deceived by him, and it wasn't until he took off his socks when he returned to the locker room that Scholes saw that his calf was swollen and even had some difficulty walking...... But it's okay, it's not serious, and I'll be able to play again after a few days of rest. ”

"He can be impulsive and want to play, so please stop him." When he said this, Juan wanted to sigh.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always been very excited about playing games, especially in big tournaments, and the stronger the opponent, the more excited he is.

It's just that the entire Red Devil still loves him very much, and Juan has experienced it himself-

At the beginning of the game, the whole team played very seriously, very seriously, even a little hard, and everyone basically tried to finish the game in the first 60 minutes.

Why?

Because in the last 30 minutes, Juan and Cristiano may be substituted, Juan will stay honestly if he is okay, and a certain young man will just fly all over the field, and the wave is called a laugh......

The lord was sharp-eyed, and naturally knew what the players were doing, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, which can be said to be a tacit acquiescence to this situation.

At first, Juan was a little incredulous, but soon he found out that the lord was in love with him and Cristiano, and he was spoiled to the heavens, especially later, Cristiano had more opportunities to play, and everyone still spoiled him as always......

If he forced himself to play, Juan really didn't know if Ferguson would really agree to him if he would have relented for a while.

When he heard his request, Ferguson first froze, and then scolded with a smile: "What do you say, I must have asked him to recover well if he was injured, how could he let him play?" ”

Juan smiled: "I'm just teasing you." ”

"Oh, good boy......" the lord shook his head, "I'll tell you one last time, Cristiano won't play!" ”

After Juan's sudden thrashing on the pitch, he is now especially careful with everyone's use, and whoever is hurt has to be carefully asked carefully, and cannot be decided based on the appearance.

"Okay, okay, I trust you." Juan smiled and nodded, of course he believed in the lord, but he was just a little uneasy, "Speaking of which, how is Cristiano now?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ferguson coughed lightly, "Why don't you call him personally, maybe it would be better for you two young people to communicate, he seems to have something on his mind lately." ”

"Okay." Although Juan was a little confused, he still answered.

Although there are Scholes within Manchester United who can talk about these things, but after all, Cristiano is still a more nostalgic person, especially Juan, who has given him a lot of care in the past, so he will be willing to say anything to Juan.

This time, though, it seems that Juan didn't wait for this person's call?

After a moment of conversation with the lord, Juan hung up the phone, he looked at the time and dialed Cristiano's phone.

…… I don't know why, but most of his communication seems to be on the phone?

It's like this in Madrid and England, and sometimes even Deportivo can't meet face-to-face here for the time being, he also communicates by phone, is that really good?

Juan thought helplessly, but before he could figure it out, the phone was already answered on the other end, Juan was just about to say something, and the next second his whole person was directly shocked by the huge music on the phone.

……？？？

What's the situation?

He subconsciously looked at his phone, and it was indeed Cristiano's number?

The person on the phone said loudly, "Who is it?" ”

"......" Juan was silent for a moment and spoke, "Are you playing?" ”

"That's right!" The person on the phone didn't seem to realize who was calling him, and he muttered impatiently, still in a loud voice: "Who are you?" Don't say I'm hanging up! ”

"Juan Díaz." Juan's icy voice passed through the microphone, and although the music was loud, it couldn't stop the name from entering the eardrums.

Cristiano was dumbfounded on the spot, he opened his mouth wide and took the phone in front of him to look at it.

Is it really Juan!?

"Uh, Juan! Wait a minute, I'll go out to answer the phone right away......" he said loudly, and hurriedly got up to go to the health indirect phone, but at this time there were a few slightly drunk girls who didn't have long eyes and surrounded them, wanting to make friends with this Manchester star, and for a while Cristiano was a little unable to retreat.

"......" Listening to the sweet voice on the phone, Juan sighed a little helplessly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and hung up the phone.

When Cristiano finally ran to the toilet to answer the phone, the call had already ended, and an unread text message was lying quietly on the interface of the phone, and he clicked on it with apprehension.

"Relax and pay attention to your injuries."

He subconsciously dialed the mobile phone quickly, wanting to talk to Juan and explain by the way, but the other end of the phone showed that the line was busy, and Juan seemed to be answering some phone again.

Forget it, Juan is very busy anyway, so I'll call again tomorrow.

With such an inexplicable feeling of loss, Cristiano turned around and plunged into the atmosphere of the nightclub, but at this moment, it seemed that even the drinks were a little tasteless.

Juan didn't know Cristiano's mood, he did have a lot of things to do.

For example, on a big night, his chairman actually called him, and the first thing he said was: "Juan, we have a new stadium!" ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "Where did the money come from??" ”

Deportivo La Coruna has earned a lot this season, and it may even be the most profitable team in the entire La Liga, and the debts outside are not in a hurry to pay off at a moment, Deportivo La Coruna still has a little surplus.

…… However, that doesn't mean they have the ability to switch to a home stadium.

Refurbishing a stadium is costly, which is the main reason why most clubs choose to expand their stadium rather than build a new one.

And if nothing else, think of one of the most classic examples recently -

Arsenal.

They have a new course, almost finished in its repairs, which is several times the size of Highbury and is world-class, both in terms of internal facilities, security and turf.

Such a stadium is indeed good, but at the same time, it also puts Arsenal with a terrible huge debt, and they are almost unable to even buy players, and even need to sell some players to subsidize their families.

- In the following years, Arsenal's board of directors sold several Gunners captains in a row, including Thierry Henry, the king of Highbury and the legendary captain of Arsenal in 07, who left with tears on his face.

So when he heard that his chairman said that he wanted to change to a new stadium, Juan's first reaction was not joy, but vigilance.

Chairman, who is this going to sell?!!

He will never sell people! Now Deportivo has a good squad! He has no complaints about his own lineup!

The chairman laughed: "I'm ashamed, I also went to the government to try to apply for it, who knew that they agreed to it all of a sudden, and they were willing to lend us money and lend us money, saying that they believed in our ability......"

What are you ashamed of?!

Juan rubbed his temples: "They are fully contracted? ”

"No, we need to pay a little bit of money......

"Chairman!"

"Huh??" The chairman was startled by Juan's sudden thud.

"I will work hard to make money, as well as the team's income, I will also work hard to improve, and I will find more endorsements!"

"Ah, that's good...... Will it affect the competition? ”

"Without affecting the game!" Juan took a deep breath, "So, don't think about selling anyone, okay?" ”

The chairman came to his senses, he was still wondering at first, why Juan suddenly mentioned this, although he was very happy, yes, "I never thought about selling anyone, don't worry." ”

"Really?" Juan will be skeptical.

"Of course it's true, we are mainly about paying off our debts this season, as long as we can repay almost half of the money, the debt of the new stadium can be almost borrowed, and then we can borrow money to build the stadium at the same time, and then continue to make money to pay off the loan...... What do you think? ”

"......" Juan opened his mouth, a little hesitant, "if you like it." ”

He doesn't doubt his ability to make money, Deportivo is making a lot of money just selling jerseys at this time, but he also knows what happened to Deportivo at this time.

With just over 30,000 seats at the Liazo Stadium, Deportivo La Coruna's home stadium, and every game is packed to the brim, most of the games throughout the season are hard to come by, and the whole board of directors is surprised by this situation, so there is a lot of anticipation for the new stadium.

But they overlooked one thing.

- How much of the reason why it's so popular now is because of the bigwigs?

Now that the bigwigs are getting older, if they all retire, will the number of Deportivo fans decrease?

Although the problem is a bit cruel, it is true, most of the fans who are skyrocketing in Deportivo are not die-hard members of the team, and many people are fans, so Juan is very worried about this.

However, when it comes to this, the chairman is very optimistic: "You mean most of them are fans of Redondo, right?" Don't be afraid, I'll show you our attendance for the season tomorrow and you'll see what's going on! And as long as you're there, our team attendance won't be low! ”

"Thank you for your affirmation of my abilities." Juan was full of gratitude, after all, he really didn't expect his own head coach to believe in him so much!

"......" Chairman thought about it, after all, his appearance is within the scope of his ability, and he is also very good-looking, isn't it? So he said happily: "Come on, young man, I believe in you!" ”

Juan couldn't laugh or cry: "This debt is too deep, I don't want to go on the road of repaying the debt at all, and I don't want to become a second Wenger." ”

"Don't worry, we'll have a way!" The chairman laughed, "The stadium of 30,000 people is not enough!" ”

Juan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "It's good if you're happy......"

"Let's work together for the future of A Coruña!!"

Faced with the chairman's enthusiasm, Juan replied very calmly: "Okay." ”

Although he agreed, his heart was still heavy.

The amount of money required to build a stadium is enormous.

If they don't want to sell the naming rights of their own stadium to someone else in exchange for the money to build the stadium, like Arsenal, then Deportivo will have to rivet a lot of money to make money.

The burden of the mountain weighed on him, and for a moment, Juan was a little at a loss.

In the past, it was not that he had not made money, nor that he had not spent money, and since he had the courage to sell his family business in exchange for the position of vice president of Deportivo La Coruña, he was not a timid person.

He didn't know if it was good or bad, after all, it seemed a little early to think about building a new stadium.

After all, the season is not over yet, how embarrassing would it be if they didn't win a single title?

Even Arsenal only began to have people willing to invest in them after a long period of unbeaten myths and unbeaten league titles, so Deportivo now has only one way.

- They have to do better than Arsenal so that the stingy Spanish government and other investors will be willing to invest in them and let them build new stadiums!

And now that is on the agenda, it is unscientific to calculate the cost of building the stadium – even though it is the largest part of the game – but they also have to propose land use rights to the district government, as well as the huge costs of buying large tracts of land, and the huge amount of money to get into the relationship.

There is also the planning of the commercial area around the stadium, which is most important for the sustainable development of A Coruña.

Everything is very important and needs to be managed step by step, and the first thing the chairman informed him was to let him have a mental preparation afterwards.

There are more places for A Coruña to spend money, and it is not a flowing flower, but a flood flower!

When he thought of this, Juan felt a little painful.

…… Forget it, he sold himself to A Coruña, what else is there to say?

Because of what the chairman said about the establishment of the line court, Juan's expression was very heavy in the next few days, although he usually had no expression, but it was the first time he saw such a calm face, and the players were a little scared.

"Juan, what's bothering you?" After a training session, Redondo asked with an eyebrow.

He didn't want to come up and ask at first, but the little cubs around him looked at him with pleading eyes, and he really had no choice but to ask about the situation.

"Well......" Juan, who was sitting in the coach's seat and pondering, subconsciously raised his head, and after seeing that it was the big guy, his brows relaxed, and he hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "The chairman called me last night and said that he was going to build a new stadium." ”

New stadium?

Redondo was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was fast: "Who are you going to sell?" ”

Obviously, Redondo is also an old man, and he is very clear about such routines.

Deportivo is already in debt, but finally has a little hope of paying it off, and wants to build a new stadium, is it really a death?

But he didn't say this, after all, it was the club that died, and he couldn't play for long at his age, so he didn't care about the life and death of the club itself.

He's just more concerned about the next player changes, after all, if he wants to play, he can't be alone, he definitely needs someone to get along with, and these teammates are the ones he wants to get along with.

"I know, big guy, you thought of this too." Juan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But what the chairman means is that when it comes to the selection of players, they still listen to me." ”

This kind of answer, even Redondo was a little surprised, he really didn't expect it, after all, Deportivo has always been tight, this season is finally a little more relaxed, and as a result, he has to spend a lot of money to build a new stadium, he thought that their chairman would choose to sell people.

"In that case, what do you have to be sad about?"

Juan sighed and waved his hand: "Big guy, don't you know...... It's all based on the fact that Deportivo can make a lot of money, and we don't have enough money to build a stadium just by selling jerseys and merchandise...... Alas, but the usual operation of the supply club is about the same. ”

Redondo frowned: "How to solve it?" ”

"What?"

"How to solve the problem of money?" Redondo actually wants to help Juan and Deportivo La Coruna, after all, it is the end of his career, although he doesn't care much about what happens to the club, but at least in the last period of his football career, he still hopes that he can live a little more comfortably.

If he is unhappy because of money, how aggrieved is he?

"The solution I can come up with is that we all work hard to make money, and the team receives endorsements, advertisements, and whatever, you see, after all, although we already have endorsements from Adidas and Nike, we still have a chest advertising area, and a travel advertising area......"

When he said this, Juan wanted to sigh.

"But the main solution is to win at least one championship this season, if there is no championship, it is estimated that the new stadium plan can only be stranded to the ends of the earth."

Redondo nodded silently, turned around and went to training, Hu Dian didn't care, after all, Redondo is such a character, but what he didn't know was that after today's training, Deportivo knew the news, so when he was blocked in the locker room by all the players, Juan was confused.

“…… What's the situation? He looked around at the people around him, then made his way through the crowd to Redondo, "Big guy?" ”

Redondo picked his chin at him, then looked away, and he subconsciously followed, only to see Manchester United's sincere Belleron.

- Speaking of which, Belleron is also a huge wonder.

His salary level is super low, because he thinks that it is enough for him to take so much, and in the whole of A Coruña, only he and Juan still have an annual salary of one or two hundred thousand; He doesn't accept any endorsements, unless it's the overall endorsement of the team, because he doesn't like the feeling of being famous, and what he likes most is to play quietly.

In this regard, Belleron and Redondo, Riquelme and others feel the same way, so they also sympathize with each other during the game.

Juan was silent for a moment, feeling as if he should say something: "Belleron? ”

Belleron took a deep breath: "Take it." ”

“？？？” Juan was stunned for a moment, "What?" ”

"Endorsements." Belleron said almost in a righteous tone, "As long as it can help the team, let's do it, no matter what endorsement we will try to do." ”

"......" Juan opened his mouth and subconsciously looked in the direction of the big guy again, but at this time the big guy was already packing up his things as if nothing happened, and he didn't pay any attention to Juan.

Seeing that Juan didn't seem to have any reaction, Belleron was a little anxious, and he said quickly: "We all know, the big guys have already told us, we are going to build a new stadium, aren't we?" If I can help the team, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. ”

"I'm ...... too", "I'm ...... too", "As long as it doesn't violate the bottom line of morality......"

Juan was a little helpless to stop everyone's gossip: "First of all, thank you very much for your understanding and support, if everyone can understand, it would really be great, after all, I also know that there are many people in our team who hate life under the spotlight and hate being surrounded by reporters......

Bellerón, Redondo, Riquelme, Aimar and others are like that, they like to play quietly rather than engage in any commercial activities, and for them it is much happier to play than to do these things.

However, when he made a statement, these people were also inside, and they also expressed their support for the team, Juan took a deep breath, held back the trembling in his heart and said: "In terms of endorsements, I will carefully screen on behalf of everyone, if it is too troublesome and may even affect the endorsement of our game, I will never accept it, and it can be regarded as to prevent us from doing anything morally corrupt......"

When he said this, several people let out chuckles, and Redondo on the side couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

"So, although there will be some increase in this area in the future, but in general, we are still game-oriented, everything has to be compromised for the sake of the game – although we have to work hard to make money, we want to commercialize, we have to build new stadiums, but that doesn't mean that our game can be relaxed."

"We're A Coruña, aren't we?"

The soul of A Coruña - never admit defeat, never surrender, always forge ahead.

No matter how difficult the scenario is now, all of them will not give up!

"The new stadium is put aside for now, after all, it's just a proposal at the moment, and it still depends on everyone's efforts to make it an achievable part."

When he said this, the smile on Juan's face changed, and there was some viciousness on it.

"No matter what, it's a game to win!"

"Oh!!"

– Now we're clocking back to the eve of Chelsea's home game against Deportivo La Coruna, and Frank and Dean's 'Laco Pre-Match Talk Show' is still going on, and it just so happens that they're talking about the new stadium as well.

"Suddenly I remembered...... Have you heard that Deportivo La Coruna is going to build a new stadium? ”

“？？？” Dean was a little confused for a moment, "A Coruña? Don't they still have a lot of debt? And there are no local tyrant bosses to invest in them......"

"That's right, but their performance this season is so exciting and miraculous that there will naturally be investors willing to lend their hands to them." Frank was a little smug, this was the first time he had said something that Dean didn't know!

"So...... Is Deportivo going to follow in Arsenal's footsteps? Dean was a little worried, now in Deportivo camp, there are really a lot of people who are being stared at, as long as Juan relents, these people will definitely be robbed soon!

"Isn't it, do you think every team is as unlucky as Arsenal and Manchester United, and you run into the owner who makes the club make money to pay off its debts?" When he said this, Frank began to laugh, "I tell you, Deportivo La Coruna is simply a breath of fresh air in football. ”

“？” Dean raised an eyebrow, "What do you say?" ”

“…… I'm afraid you don't know, right? Frank couldn't help laughing for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back. The person who makes money in A Coruña is their second boss Juan, he is not like those family businesses that desperately squeeze the club, the young man has the responsibility of making money by himself, as the boss he works diligently and hard, and at a young age he put his entire belongings into it, tsk ...... tsk"

Even Dean was a little speechless at this time: "You mean, Deportivo is counting on Juan to bring everyone to make money together?" ”

"yes......" Frank sighed, "I don't know what to say, do you think Juan Díaz is dumbfounded?" With such a big task, he also took it directly...... And at the beginning of the season, it was also good, staying quietly at Manchester United, waiting for the lord to retire and take over the knight's class directly, preferring to choose a hellish challenge like Deportivo La Coruna, is he a masochist? ”

"It's almost the same as calling him a pick-up man." Dean complained, "I don't know where he got the confidence to make so much money for his team......"

"But Deportivo La Coruna has actually made a lot of money this season." Frank coughed lightly, "It's not just the internal profits of the team, they also make a lot of money on TV, don't they?" Especially this Chelsea vs Deportivo La Coruna, according to our real-time statistics, the number of viewers is a small peak, right? ”

"And in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the broadcast fee is very high." Dean nodded in agreement. "A Coruña...... It seems that he really wants to go to heaven. 166 Reading Network
