September 18, 2008, the 77th anniversary of the September 18 Incident.

Ibiza travelled to the Portuguese city of Funchal in Madeira for the club's first European match in its 54th year.

With more than 1,000 Ibiza fans accompanying the team to the away games, 1,000 is a lot for the island of Ibiza, which has a permanent population of just over 100,000.

As the fourth place in the Portuguese Super League last season, Maritimo is very strong, before the game, the Portuguese media are still more confident that Maritimo will score points at home, which is still the media in Madeira is more 'modest', in fact, after drawing Ibiza, the local media in Madeira even cheered that it was a 'good sign', and then they learned that the La Liga promoted polo team slaughtered Madrid giants Atletico Madrid 8-3 at home in their La Liga debut...... Then, the Madeira media changed their tune: Maritimo wants to qualify, he has to pick up points from the first leg of his home game and try not to let Ibiza score, well, that means fighting as much as possible to make it 0-0 at home and then hope for the away.

The whistle blew for the 90-minute match, and the Ibiza fans in the stands of the visiting team at the Maritimo Park Stadium erupted in excited cheers.

At the end of the game, Ibiza won 2-1 away at Portuguese Super League powerhouse Maritimo to take the lead in the two-legged knockout round.

It was Robert Lewandowski and Juan Mata who scored for Ibiza, and the two players were definitely the best in the Ibiza squad since the start of the new season.

In fact, if it weren't for Maritimo goalkeeper Novachkov's impressive performance, Ibiza could have won another big game.

The Sunday Telegraph reported the match on its front page the day after the match, cheering on the Ibiza club's ever first European debut victory.

The whole of Ibiza was also full of laughter.

However, in addition to the cheers of the media and fans on the island of Ibiza, the media reaction in other parts of Spain has been relatively muted, and even if there is a mention of this game, it is only a passing mention, after all, the influence of the UEFA Cup is far less than that of the Champions League, not to mention that this is only a qualifying match before the group stage of the UEFA Cup, and the influence is even less.

A few days later, in the third round of La Liga, Ibiza drew 1-1 away at Almeria, with Deisler scoring the equaliser for Ibiza.

Although it was only a draw, Fang Jue was still satisfied with the result of this game.

Just look at the standings after the three rounds of La Liga, Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal, Espanyol, these four teams have 7 points at the same time, just because of the difference in goal difference between 1 and 4.

Valencia and Villarreal are La Liga powerhouses and have been strong and it is not too surprising to occupy the top of the table, but Espanyol and Almeria are definitely dark horses after the start of the new season.

Behind these four teams is Real Madrid, who are fifth in the league with six points.

Behind Real Madrid, there is Ibiza, who slaughtered Atletico Madrid's La Liga promotion horse 8-3 in the first round of the league, and then suffered two consecutive draws, and got 5 points in the three rounds of the league, and was able to rank sixth in the league.

"A chaotic new season, a fallen giant." This is the headline on the front page of the newspaper Marca after the end of this round of the league.

Real Madrid are fifth with two wins and one loss, Barcelona are ninth with one win, one draw and one loss, and Valencia, Almeria, Villarreal and Espanyol, as well as promoted Mahtafe, occupy five places in the top six, a chaotic situation that can be said to be rare in recent years.

Then, for the upcoming fourth round of the league, the media turned their attention to Ibiza almost simultaneously.

Ibiza host Valencia in this round of the league.

This game should not have been seen as a match-up, but with the precedent of Ibiza's 8-3 slaughter of Atletico Madrid at home, and let's not forget that Ibiza beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last season and Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season, it seems that this team can always burst out with impressive energy when facing strong opponents.

And look at the other matchups in this round of the league, Barcelona vs Real Betis, Villarreal vs Racing Santander, Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijón...... Sevilla vs Espanyol?

Both in terms of the current league standings and the strength of the team, it really seems that it is not as eye-catching as the match between Ibiza and Valencia.

What's more: these two teams have old grudges.

Last season's Copa del Rey final was played between these two teams, with Ibiza from La Liga defeating La Liga giants Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu to lift the trophy for the first time in the club's history.

You must know that last season, Valencia was empty, and the team was even more infighting, and the Spanish Copa del Rey could be said to be Valencia's last chance for redemption in the season, but it was killed by Ibiza in the final...... This is definitely not a lot of 'hatred'.

At the very least, it's only been a few months, and the Valencians won't forget the hatred so quickly.

Of course, this is for Valencia's side, for Fang Jue, he didn't feel that he had any hatred with Valencia before, the game, it's not normal to win or lose.

So, when he heard the cannon fire of Valencia boss Soler Jr. firing at him, his expression was surprised.

Why?

When interviewed by the media, the president of Valencia, Mr. Soler Jr., took the lead in firing the gun.

The chairman slammed Fang Jue for using improper means to snatch Mata from Valencia's mouth.

When Fang Jue heard little Soler lashing out at him like this, his first reaction was: Oops, the matter has been exposed?

Then he was relieved to see what little Soler had said on the news.

'In fact, we have reached an agreement with Juan Mata and his family, we have been waiting in the office to sign for Mata and in the end we got the news that the player and his family did not go to the airport and someone showed up at the player's home.

'Don't ask me why Mata didn't choose Valencia, I don't know, but one thing I know for sure is that we did have an agreement with Mata, but in the end he didn't come, so there must be something wrong with that.

Fang Jue was taken aback, although it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, but it was always unpleasant to be shot at by someone.

In particular, he has always been kind, humble, and low-key, and it is unbearable for such a talented but extremely low-key handsome coach to be attacked for no reason.

Some people were surprised that little Soler fired at Fang Jue, but, even the surprised melon-eating masses soon stopped being surprised, this Valencia president is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this is a big mouth, last season Valencia almost self-scheduled Spanish Copa del Rey championship was snatched away by Ibiza, resulting in Valencia's four empty, it is said that Valencia's stock fell miserably, and Little Soler lost a lot, so hateful, little Soler's temper can endure until now, it is not easy.

It's just that I didn't expect little Soler to be a little clever, and he didn't talk about the King's Cup, but brought up the old things again, and turned up the old accounts of Mata running away from Valencia and running away at night.

Fang Jue felt that he was very innocent, and this innocent feeling was all unpleasant in the end.

If you are unhappy, you will naturally fight back.

"I'm very happy to meet Valencia again." Fang Jue said.

"It's like meeting a love partner, Ibiza has been waiting for 54 years to meet Valencia for the first time on a beautiful stage, and the end result is complete and full of love, so I'm looking forward to the match against Valencia."

Looking forward to peat.

Fang Jue's words, there was not a single dirty word, nor did he carry out any personal attacks, and even used beautiful words, those who didn't know thought that this was the five-element prose of love.

However, those who know what happened in the Spanish Copa del Rey last season can't help but gasp: This guy is really poisonous! Don't bring a dirty word to hurt people.

It's just that if you don't get angry to death, you're going to be disgusting to death.

On Valencia's side, the first person to jump out and scold Fang Jue was not their manager Unai Emery, but the team's Spanish veteran Marchena.

The Spanish midfielder's tone was unkind.

"I'm really looking forward to playing against Ibiza now, ha! After this game, someone should not lose the crying nose! ”

There was not the slightest surprise that Marchena jumped out to fight.

Carlos? Marchena is a very good player, a strong player who handles high balls and marks well, but the Spanish defender has a fiery temper, which is a quick temper.

Valencians are relatively mild, so many people wonder why Marchena is so manic, and this probably starts from his hometown, where Marchena is a native of Seville, which is one of Spain's famous temper spots, as is often joked in China about 'what I do', 'look at you smashing the drops', and then crackling.

Fang Jue ignored Marchena's clamour, if Emery jumped out to fight with him, he would naturally be happy to accompany him, but Marchena was just a player, and his level was not equal.

Of course, this is mainly because Fang Jue has always been pure and kind, and he has a big heart, and he will not be as knowledgeable as this person.

Not only did there be no response, but Fang Jue also forbade Ibiza's players to engage in a war of words with the Valencians.

When Clement was interviewed by the media, he scolded Marchena twice to avenge Fang Jue, and was also criticized by Fang Jue.

"Ignore these provocations." Fang Jue's expression was serious, "Don't be fooled, their purpose is to disturb us, this is a manifestation of the opponent's lack of confidence, we can't be fooled." ”

Everyone laughed, and Fang Jue glared at the guys, "I'm serious." ”

The players laughed again.

"Why do I really think the coach is right, the Valencians are not confident, that's why they make trouble." Mata whispered.

"I feel that way, too." Royce nodded, he thought he was the only one who felt this way.

"Okay, stop laughing." Fang Jue clapped his hands, "Get down to business, don't say anything to the media, and concentrate on the game." ”

"But, Coach, Marchena said that, aren't you really angry?" Farreko shouted.

"Don't be angry." Fang Jue shook his head, "I don't care what he does, winning is the best response." ”

Veterans like Makelele nodded approvingly, and recognized Fang Jue's attitude, don't look at the coach is young, but he is very steady.

"Alright, it's all quiet." Fang Jue continued to explain tactics.

"Beware of Villa."

'He's been in really good form lately.

'Remember, don't give Villa room to get the ball easily.

"And David. Silva. ”

"This kid has been very popular lately." Fang Jue said.

He's right, if Juan Mata has been on a hot streak in Ibiza lately and Mata is very popular, Valencia's Silva is bursting.

The media is full of reports, and it can even be said that Silva's growth history and privacy have been discovered.

Silva's mother, Ava, is Japanese, and his father, Fernando, is a police officer. Silva has been exposed to the beautiful sport of football since he was a child, and he will try to kick anything he can with his little feet, such as fruit or potatoes. At that time, he was always shouting "football" and "football", and his family was even worried about whether little Silva would only say that one word.

Because of Silva's small eyes and humble personality, many fishermen in the neighborhood like to call him "Chinese Boy".

Silva's talent is indeed rare among his peers, but his height and stature are relatively weak, which also made him perform well in the Real Madrid trial, but Real Madrid gave him up for this reason, and finally let Valencia pick up a big bargain.

Speaking of which, the media has already begun to hype this game between Juan Mata and Silva, two 'Real Madrid outcasts'.

At last......

"Beware of Marchena." Fang Jue knocked on the small blackboard.

"Marchena has a fiery temper."

"This is a card eater."

Fang Jue was right, Marchena had a fiery temper and committed a lot of fouls on the field: in the 2003/2004 season, Marchena was sent off after just 47 seconds in the opening game against Osasuna FC in Valencia, making him the fastest person to be sent off in Valencia's history; On March 6, 2007, Valencia played Inter Milan in the Champions League, and the two teams clashed after the game. Navarro was at odds with a number of Inter players, and the two clubs were fined €100,000 by UEFA afterwards, with Marchena himself banned for four games.

Anyway, with just a little bit of spark, this guy will blow up.

"Attention, this has to be noticed." Fang Jue knocked on the small blackboard again.
