31. Late at night when talking in secret

Hearing this, Juan's first reaction was to cry and laugh.

Of course, he was aware of Deportivo LaCoruna's current predicament, but their main problem was not tactical or other competitive reasons.

They are short of money.

This is the most embarrassing thing, there will always be some clubs in this world that will never be able to make ends meet, and it is not because they are not playing well or anything, but they simply can't pay the salaries of their players, or even can only keep the club running, which is also a helpless thing.

Although Laco's president has been thrifty to a certain extent, the club still has to sell the team's heroes in exchange for the club's stability.

"Calm down, Andrade." Juan patted him on the shoulder and pulled him to sit down, rather speechless, "What do you want me to help you buy A CoruΓ±a?" ”

Andrade was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was a little dazed, but he quickly shook his head: "I didn't think so...... Rakko is like this now, and you will lose money if you buy it. ”

…… Didn't he wonder why Juan could afford it?

Of course not, the whole first team has absolute confidence in their little teammates, and I don't know where this inexplicable self-confidence comes from, anyway, when Juan realized it, "omniscient and omnipotent" seemed to become synonymous with him.

In this regard, Juan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, at least he couldn't have a child.

"I don't think it matters if I buy a little...... After all, almost all of La Liga has been restructured as a corporatization now, and the chairman is the boss. Juan narrowed his eyes, "After the club was controlled by a major shareholder, although it also provided the possibility of introducing a modern management system, it also tied the fate of the club to the personal ability of this big boss. ”

The same is true for Deportivo La Coruna, where only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Biba and Osasuna are members, while the other teams have become limited liability companies, which means they are buyable companies.

"yes, so I just thought, maybe you're ......" Andrade looked at him with a look of hope.

"And what do you want me to do?" Juan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm only 22 years old, and I'm going to officially retire after the European Cup, so it's impossible to play for Laco." "Of course, it is even more unlikely that Deportivo La Coruna will be their owner, after all, this team does not mean so much to him.

Andrade withered in an instant, in fact, he also asked Juan with a hope of a point or two, after all, he is now in a semi-retired state, and if he can make an exception for Old Trafford once, maybe he can make an exception for the Riazor Stadium a second time.

But Juan's words directly extinguished his extravagant hopes.

"Well......" Andrade sighed and shook his head, "I know it's all my own wishful thinking, and I'm sorry to bother you so late." ”

"It's okay, actually, I also happen to have something I want to ask you about." Juan took out his phone and looked at it, smiling.

"Do you Laco still lack a head coach?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Laco is now apart from me and Juan...... It's that there is nothing but Belleron, which lacks anything. Andrade smiled wryly, "Next season starts, and we don't know where our team can go." ”

Juan raised his eyebrows: "If you are really short of people now, I think it is better to start with the head coach...... And these things should be considered by the president of the club, why did you suddenly start thinking about this? ”

Especially Andrade is not a Deportivo youth academy, as an outsider he is still so concerned about the team, it can only be said that either President Laco is too successful, or he is ...... Lako's current situation is too bad to look at directly.

Andrade smiled bitterly and said nothing, Juan patted him on the shoulder, then glanced at his phone.

"My agent told me...... Laco's boss is tougher. Juan said this very tactfully, after all, Jorge's message just replied that this is what it was written-

'Rakko? Oh God, Juan, what do you want to do? I can tell you, their boss is the one I don't want to deal with the most of the 20 presidents of La Liga, it's just too much to worry about! To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that his strength wasn't strong enough now, I would definitely send him to my blacklist! ’

Seeing the Portuguese agent's resentful appearance, Juan could probably guess that scene, the iron rooster couldn't be more interesting than the vampire, okay?

"It's a little." Andrade thought back to their boss and smiled, "Just a very sweet old man, you should like him." ”

"......," Juan gave him a strange look, "you want me to like him?" ”

"yes, I hope you like him." Andrade nodded sincerely, "I know you're in a gap after the European Championship, and I know that Deportivo is ...... now," he shook his head helplessly, "All in all, I hope you can sincerely consider Laco." ”

'I've only had half a season at Manchester United, and the style of La Liga and the Premier League is very different. Juan warned him, he was finally coming back now, no matter what the position, Andrade had actually been counting on tricking him into going to A CoruΓ±a from the beginning, right?

"But everyone calls you 'Amazing Coach,' and I've seen how good you are, so think about it?" Andrade looked at him with some sincerity, "I'm just a lobbyist, of course, there will be official people from the club who will invite you later, so please think about it anyway......"

"I'll think about it." Juan nodded, Andrade is also a senior of his national team, and now he is embarrassed to be looked at like this, "Maybe I can ask my agent about this matter and see what his attitude is." ”

"Okay, okay...... So, I won't bother you anymore? Andrade finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after saying this, he still subconsciously blushed. Obviously, he called people out in the middle of the night, but he said that he wanted to disturb people?

"You go up first, there's training tomorrow morning, don't be late." Juan patted him on the shoulder with a pleasant face to indicate that it was okay, and Andrade nodded subconsciously: "What about you?" ”

"I'll sit downstairs."

Seeing Juan's calm and calm appearance, Andrade turned around and walked away step by step, he also knew that Juan wanted to take this opportunity to sort out his thoughts, but don't sort it out until the conclusion he got in the end was refusal!

Juan was indeed sorting out his thoughts, but not his thoughts on the future as Andrade thought, he lowered his head and played with his phone, his face deep in thought.

Juan had already texted with his agent many times, and that was the night.

'Jorge, what do you think of Super Laco?' ’

'Rakko? Oh God, Juan, what do you want to do? I can tell you, their boss is the one I don't want to deal with the most of the 20 presidents of La Liga, it's just too much to worry about! To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that his strength wasn't strong enough now, I would definitely send him to my blacklist! ’

'Is it really that bad?' ’

β€˜β€¦β€¦ Well, in fact, he is also the chairman I admire the most in the whole of La Liga, and he is simply trying his best to keep the club running, although all the presidents of the whole La Liga are like this, but only Laco will cash out so frantically when he is on the verge of bankruptcy. ’

β€˜β€¦β€¦ Is that a good thing? ’

'Of course! In this way, it managed to keep the operation and did not let the club fall into bankruptcy. But their club is a bit empty right now, I'll have to go see if there's any good to catch, hehe...... Anyway, they have one less head coach! ’

I know, but I've heard that Valencia has one less. ’

Yes, it's just that Valencia is not very likely, after all, they have been quite successful this season, and I guess their next coach is still more biased towards Benitez who has a lot of practical experience, after all, they are not to the point of taking risks to find a young man. ’

Yes, but Deportivo La Coruna has arrived. ’

'yes, Super Laco...... They need a coach who can do wonders for them, enough to lead them through the gloom of today, and of course, the point is to be cheap. Looking at the whole football world, it can be compared with cheapness, miracles, fame, and ability...... The point is that the idle endowment is linked at home, and it seems that there is only one you. ’

'Isn't that Mourinho's? ’

'He's not available!' Despite his departure from Porto, there are still people who have their eye on him, and he will be the manager of Chelsea next season. ’

Juan's hand paused, then shook his head with a smile.

The lord won't be dissatisfied now, right? Before, he still thought Benitez was too boring, and he was tired of arguing with Wenger these old years, and he obviously wanted to change his taste.

Mourinho Juan has also seen it, and he knows that this person has sharp teeth, and now the British Isles are really going to jump chickens and dogs.

It's really the ever-lively Premier League......

'Well, then it seems that I am alone:('

'Ha, forget it, you don't know how high you are higher than Jose, okay?' He didn't coach Manchester United as soon as he came up, he left the national team for the next stop, and he had no experience before, Jose jumped to his feet after knowing what you went through! ’

β€˜β€¦β€¦ Maybe it's different from the person you are talking to? Sir, he's a man with such magical powers. ’

'Alright, alright, I already know that you are a loyal fan of the lord forever, goodbye! ’

'Good night:D-

Juan put his phone away, sighed helplessly and stretched.

In fact, in any way, the most important point in order to get A CoruΓ±a out of its current predicament is the problem of money.

Although he can now say that he has a little savings, he is certainly not good enough to buy a La Liga team, and he is also the big Laco who had a good performance last season.

I don't know why, but he suddenly felt that making money was also a very important thing......

After playing with the mobile phone in his hand for a while, and thinking about how to make money, he couldn't help but send a message to his agent again.

'Jorge, how about we set up a brokerage company?' ’

After waiting for a while, it was estimated that the opposite side was already asleep, Juan sighed and was about to get up and go back to his room, but he heard an excited voice with a low voice calling his name.

"Hey, Juan!"

The windy garden, the dim lights, and a voice that lowered its voice and couldn't really hear it called out to his name. In an instant, Juan's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to make a critical attack in the direction of the voice, but fortunately, the other party knew him well enough, and shouted directly before he made a move: "Don't fight, it's me!" ”

Juan Shengsheng stopped his life-killing leg, squinted at the other party, and after seeing his face clearly, he twitched the corners of his mouth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you doing when you don't sleep well and run out, the captain didn't beat you to death? Juan retracted his leg and asked angrily, the person who came was Cristiano, he smiled and touched his head: "The captain and Rui are playing cards, I can't intervene, I will see you below when I go to the balcony to breathe, I will come to play with you!" ”

Although he didn't know why his little teammates were so obsessed with playing with him, Juan couldn't help but look at his head: "If you can't get up tomorrow, you'll be finished." ”

"I don't want to!" Cristiano covered his head and said, "Actually, I came down early!" But I didn't come out to disturb you when I saw Andrade talking to you, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, right? ”

The more he talked about it, the less confident he became, and finally couldn't help but sneak a glance at Juan, which made him cry and laugh.

"Okay...... Those who don't know are not guilty, and now that we go upstairs, I'd like to see how the captain's hand goes. ”

Seeing that Juan began to overflow with a chill behind his back while talking and laughing, Cristiano chuckled and said no. Did he just betray his captain like this?!

"Uh...... Wait a minute! The Portuguese youngster, who was in a hurry, grabbed him, "Actually, I have something to talk to you about!" ”

"You too?" Juan raised his eyebrows, and received a fierce nod from his little teammate, who nodded with a smile: "Okay, you say." ”

Of course, he could see that the little teammate was actually trying to drag him and prevent him from going upstairs to catch the others, but he still wanted to tease the little teammate how to break it?

Cristiano was anxious and confused, and opened his mouth to come: "Do you want to go to A CoruΓ±a?" ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to mention this: "Maybe, what's wrong?" ”

"Would you like to take me if you went?" The little broken child is eager to try.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was silence for a while, and then there was a crisp and loud "pop", and the child covered his head and squatted down: "It hurts!" ”

"It will make you sober up a little bit." Juan looked at him condescendingly, then sighed, "Everything I talked to you about that day was in vain, wasn't it?" ”

The young general stopped talking, rubbing his head silently.

"You play well with the lord, there is no better and more dedicated teacher in the world." He continued, "At least there's no better coach than him, can you? ”

"Isn't there still you......" The little teammate's muttering he heard in his ears, Juan rubbed his head helplessly, and kicked the child's ass with a headache: "In terms of teaching people, the lord is much better than me...... Don't play with the child's temper, your future is bright. ”

Of course he knew what this little imp meant, when he first arrived in this completely unfamiliar place in Manchester, Juan, the captain who had always known and trusted, appeared, so the child settled down, his psychological dependence was already strong enough, and now he was even more reluctant.

Although Juan can understand him, he will definitely not tolerate the willfulness of his little teammates.

So he lifted the man up and ruffled his hair.

"Okay Cristiano, it's okay, call me whatever happens, okay? I'll always be there. ”

Juan feels that he is really miserable, an old mother by his side, and now he has a little broken child......

Have you started a family before starting a business?

He immediately shook his head and threw this weird idea behind him, seeing that his little teammate was still very depressed, he couldn't help but smile and pat his head: "It's okay, everyone likes you so much." ”

"Then you're going to come to see me when you're free." Cristiano said sullenly, Juan was stunned and nodded helplessly: "Okay." ”

The next morning, everyone woke up in good spirits, Scolari nodded in satisfaction, and Juan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

When he sent Cristiano back last night, these people were already gone, maybe Andrade told him by the way when he went back, so he didn't catch any of them, and his little teammates' eyes were blown red by the wind, but according to him, they would be fine the next day, and now they are back to normal at a glance.

"Hello everyone, today is the first training camp for the national team, please cooperate with the coaching staff to ......train carefully," Scolari began his routine speech as the head coach, but everyone present subconsciously looked in the direction of Juan, making Scolari look in Juan's direction as he spoke.

Juan stood next to the training team, dressed in a light training uniform, and noticed that everyone's eyes returned a radiant smile.

His expression was really sunlight, the sun was so sunny that everyone was not used to it, and everyone subconsciously shuddered, especially Cristiano, who stood next to Juan and wanted to cry without tears.

In a word, it is-

You were next to me, and you only took a look at me, and the lightning flashed on a sunny day in June.

Juan has always been indifferent, and they are so scared when he suddenly has such a cheerful and lively expression!! What's even more terrifying is that everyone knows why he laughs like this!

Juan didn't say a word about this, but still looked at Scolari very seriously, and that kind of focused expression made people really can't help but beat the drum in their hearts.

They didn't feel anything when stretching, after all, there were a total of 23 people, including Juan, and everyone could still stretch each other without the three goalkeepers, but the biggest problem arose.

No one dared to stretch with a smiling Juan.

Cristiano was beaten up last night and is still languishing; Andrade ran away directly, Juan was very helpless, and in the end, Figo couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand: "Juan!" ”

"Yes!"

"Stretch alone!"

"......" He thought the captain was going to partner with him! Wrath!

However, there is a reason why the whole team is reluctant to partner with Juan, as as a footballer, his muscles seem a little too soft, wrapped under the hard and tight muscles, and his bones are incredibly flexible.

And he has a characteristic of kicking, when his legs are thrown out like a whip, everyone else will tense the leg muscles, so that the power is transmitted to the toes, Juan's force is in the crotch, his whole leg is relaxed, but it is also like this, when the instep hits the ball, the force brought out by inertia will be unusually large.

This is one of the main reasons why he can fire heavy artillery on the pitch.

That's why! Once he stretches with Juan, he will always unconsciously press people down to the point of tearing their crotch! Everyone's here to play football, isn't it here to experience?!

Juan is also very sorry for this, after all, every time he unconsciously pressed down, and then the people below began to scream, he was used to this kind of routine, who knew that there was a group of people in the world with such hard bones......

It's been a long time since Cristiano has been with him, and everyone else is afraid to avoid him when they see him, but Juan is used to it. However, when he started to stretch, his captain quietly touched his side.

"Juan, how did you talk to Andrade last night?"

"Well, it's okay......" Juan was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, his captain patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Okay, good, looking forward to the game, Real Madrid haven't won at Laco's home stadium for several years." ”

When his captain left, the next person to come over was the sneaky SimΓ£o, who looked left and right: "Hey Juan, are you going to Super Laco?" ”

"No, not necessarily ......"

"Isn't it a little late to go back after the European Championships?" His teammates were very serious, "After all, the club's personnel transfer or something...... Why don't you put the things here in the national team a little bit? ”

"I still have to ...... game"

Before he could finish his words, SimΓ£o was already pushed aside, and in front of him was Deco, whose eyes were shining: "Laco? Great place! If Jorge sends you to Laco, I'll be able to take my friends to your place if I'm fine! ”

…… He hasn't gotten to Laco yet, why are they all determined that he is going?

When Andrade came up to him and started laughing, Juan understood.

Well, evil.

However, Juan didn't refute anything, and when the time came, Scolari saw that everyone's warm-up was almost over, and the atmosphere was almost better, so he looked at the time and shouted to everyone to gather.

"Basically all the muscles and bones are moving now, right?" Scolari asked kindly, "Probably all the ball senses have been recovered?" Okay, now we need to get acquainted with the fit-"

The Portuguese players who were nodding their heads suddenly felt a gust of wind behind them, and only heard Scolari's words "Let's have a mock match", and the whole world went dark.

Really...... Whenever the team is about to start a match, Juan is in a very good mood!

What made them want to cry even more happened when Juan took off his jacket and put on a small vest as a substitute, obviously he was going to team up with the substitute players and start the first team head-on.

Scolari originally planned to say that he would see how Portugal combined as a whole, but the development of things was really unexpected, the two teams played evenly matched, and the scene looked very exciting, without the slightest feeling that the main force and the substitutes of other countries were relatively different, and ......

How can the attack of the small vest team be a little more fluid?

The Brazilian coach was stunned for a while and began to look for the reason, and then after a while, he found the calm Juan.

He basically stood at the back and didn't run much, but once the ball reached him, it was accurate and fast, in other words, although the force on the court was still there, Juan was trying to minimize his sense of presence, and it was Scolari who found out the problem after careful search.

However, it is clear that the players of the Portuguese team are very used to this, and they don't want to start from Juan when they break the ball, and try to grab the ball that they haven't had time to pass.

Rui Costa and Cristiano, in particular, were supposed to play a tandem role, but once the ball could go in Juan's direction, they would give up chasing the ball, which made Scolari's eyelids jump.

…… He seems to have underestimated Juan's influence with the national team.

At the end of the game, he was silent for a while, first asking the strength and conditioning coach to take them back to recover and then calling Figo aside.

"Luis, what kind of person does Juan think he is?"

Figo was stunned when he heard this: "Juan...... Conscientious, responsible, perfectionist, a very nice child. What's wrong? ”

"It feels like your whole team seems to be a little ......," Scolari thought for a moment, and put it mildly, "trust him too much?" "Forget about your teammates, why would the person on the other side give up fighting for Juan when he has the ball?

Would it be okay to work a little harder?!

"Coach, you don't know." Speaking of this, Figo was also very helpless, "Everyone of us here has been a little shadowed by him, so just avoid all of us when he gets the ball, and we can't break it anyway......"

Scolari is about to laugh out loud, there is still a ball in the world that can't be broken? Even a master dribbler like Zidane would not dare to claim that his ball would not be broken!

Figo naturally saw his disbelief and sighed: "It's not that he can't be broken off with the ball all the time, in fact, he basically doesn't often dribble the ball all the time, and occasionally once or twice it is the kind that people can't catch up with at high speed, so it can't be broken." ”

"Okay, thank you." Scolari frowned.

If Figo's words are not exaggerated, he will have to adjust the playing list.

If Figo's words are not exaggerated, he will have to adjust the playing list.

Juan's influence on the entire Portuguese team was beyond his expectations, and it has only been two years since he entered the first team, right?

Juan was actually very calm on the court, after all, it was just a simulated game within the team, and everyone passed the ball to him to take care of him, and he knew very well that he didn't think it was anything until Figo was called over by Scolari.

"......" Hu Ancheng looked at the two people standing in the corner and talking.

"Why aren't you paying attention?" Rui Costa smiled at him and raised an eyebrow, the Portuguese midfielder who has been with AC Milan for many years, and there seems to be a hint of Italian style in his eyebrows, and he seems to be seducing people all the time.

Juan didn't want to pay attention to this kind of flirtatious words, but after thinking about it, he replied very honestly: "I was thinking about the game just now." ”

"You're doing a good job." Rui stretched and Nunu mouthed, "I guess the coach may want to ask the captain what he knows about the team, don't think about it." ”

"Mainly just now, the pass was too concentrated in me." Juan sighed, "Coach Scolari can see what's going on, so don't bother." ”

Of course he knows what his teammates mean.

This is a meaningful game in the history of Portuguese football, and the first game of the European Championship held on home soil will be played by anyone, right?

But now everyone has found that Scolari seems to be planning to lead Juan to the road of official coaching, although this is indeed the road Juan will take in the future, but what to do with this game?

What to do with the European Cup?

Although the entire Portuguese national team is not saying that there are no people who can play, they really feel very unfair to Juan, so they can't help but want to send him to the starter.

Although there are only eleven starters, and there is not a lot of choice for Portugal......

The expression on Figo's face didn't change when he walked back, and Scolari just flipped through his tactics board and looked down on something, and the whole team didn't know if it was useful for them to do so, and looked at each other apprehensively.

After that, the training continued as usual, neither Scolari nor Juan had any special appearances, and Juan was a little disappointed to be a coach after the first day of training.

Soon it was the first day of the opening game, and Scolari kept his starting line-up until the day, and everyone's hearts tickled as if they were scratched by claws.

June 12, Prima da d'Oro in Porto.

It's Portugal's home stadium anyway, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the starting line-up to come out. As soon as Scolari returned from the press conference, he was confronted by the players sitting in a row, and in the face of their eager eyes, Scolari coughed lightly.

"Starting List...... Ricardo. ”

Ricciardo is Portugal's starting goalkeeper and that hasn't changed in a few years.

"Defender...... Miguel, Carvalho, Andrade, Valente. ”

There has been a slight change in the backline this year, with a Portuguese defender withdrawing from the national team due to injury, so Miguel, who was originally used as a substitute, stepped up.

"Wingers Figo, Ronaldo, midfielder Deco ......" Scolari took a deep breath.

"Defenders, Maniche, Juan Dias."

The audience was stunned, and finally cheered, and Scolari waved his hand helplessly: "Alas...... Don't be as good as you've already won? Hurry up, pack up and go out, although the opponent of this game is Greece, we still have to go all out. ”

"Good!" Everyone responded in an uproar.

Juan was surrounded by everyone and walked outside, he looked at the others helplessly: "Calm down, everyone calm down...... he himself was not so happy!

"Juan, if you are on the field, we can get through any difficulties!" SimΓ£o shouted loudly and happily, and everyone giggled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Did we misjudge Juan's influence in the national team too harshly?" Scolari's self-doubt was renewed, and he wondered if Juan would not be able to suppress these people at first, but now it seems that he has no such concern at all.

"Maybe?" The strength and conditioning coach also added, but he added, "But I don't think his impact on the national team is the traditional impact we think......

"Yes," Scolari nodded, smiling and touching his belly. "Portugal, what a strange team."
