Chapter 37: The arrogant La B team
It has to be said that the Middle Eastern consortium behind Barefoot is indeed financially rich, and they have directly chartered the best hotel in the whole town for players and coaches to rest, and the training ground is also one of the best training bases near Madrid, and has also invited many of Spain's top assistant coaches and support teams.
In such an environment, the players are also more comfortable training, and all the problems they encounter seem to have been anticipated and will be solved for them soon. What they have to do is to keep improving themselves in training.
The players who participated in the training camp this time not only included the squad from the previous games, but also some young players from the barefoot echelon. Speaking of which, we have to mention the barefoot youth training system.
The barefoot youth training system was established very early, how early? It predates the establishment of the Barefoot Club by three years. Originally, it was a large-scale youth training institution invested in Chixian, and the facilities were first-class in China, attracting many talented young players. However, after only two years of operation, they faced serious losses. Later, in desperation, it was acquired by a consortium from the Middle East, and it was further transformed and upgraded. Today, it is the top youth training institution in the whole of China.
Unlike other Chinese youth training institutions, it not only recruits talents from Chinese mainland, but also faces people from all over the world, as long as they have Chinese ancestry, they can apply for registration. Now that eight or nine years have passed, it has also cultivated many excellent players and injected a lot of fresh blood into the barefoot echelon at all levels, including the current barefoot rising star Chen Wei.
And this training camp, a full five young players who came out of the barefoot youth training entered the list. They will also be involved in the team's day-to-day training, but whether they will stay in the first team will depend on their performances.
After nearly ten days of intensive training, the tacit understanding between the players has been greatly improved, and young players such as Shao Yifan and Chen Wei can also clearly feel the improvement of their personal awareness. This kind of training camp is very helpful for young players, and training with many experienced professional players is completely different from their previous training in the Academy or at various levels.
The club also arranged a match match for them, hoping to test the results of their training during this period and show their shortcomings.
The team, called Córdoba, is a team from the lower reaches of the Spanish second division, and has just been relegated this season, and its strength has been greatly reduced.
The Córdoba players and coaches took a bus to the barefoot training ground, where their players changed into their team's dark red jerseys and came to the green field to high-five the red football players. However, what made Shao Yifan frown a little was that although the language barrier, he could feel the contempt of several Cordoba players for them.
"Brother Zhen, are the warm-up opponents you trained in before also them?" Shao Yifan silently came to the captain Xie Zhen and asked.
"It's them, they seem to be a consortium holding with our club, so they were arranged as sparring partners in the previous training camps." Xie Zhen didn't think much about it, and replied directly.
"And what was our record before?" Shao Yifan asked again.
"Uh...... Not very good, not a single win, not even a draw. Xie Zhen said with some embarrassment.
Shao Yifan nodded silently, perhaps because of this, they had contempt for barefoot.
Next, the captains of both sides exchanged flags with each other, but when the Cordoba captain received the barefoot flag, he muttered something. Everyone present didn't understand what was said, and they didn't care, only Bell's face changed.
Shao Yifan noticed Bell's change and asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”
Bell thought about it for a moment, but still translated the words to him. Bale, who has lived in Spain for so many years, is rumored to be influential, but in fact he doesn't know anything. How can you not speak Spanish for a few years, in a Spanish-speaking context, and still have the need to work?
After Shao Yifan heard Bell's translation and explanation, his face changed, and he immediately walked forward angrily. Bell tried to drag him, but he couldn't, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"What is he going to do?" Chen Wei was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand Spanish, and he wasn't very proficient in English. Number Seven
Other teammates also noticed his move, but didn't stop him because they didn't know what was going on.
And Shao Yifan quickly walked in front of the captain of Córdoba, a tall black man with short hair close to his scalp and an arrogant look on his face.
I saw Shao Yifan stretch out his hand and pat the Cordoba captain on the shoulder, and then in his ear, in English, he returned what he had just said intact. That's a very insulting Western swear word. And it just so happened that he could understand Shao Yifan's English.
Suddenly, the Cordoba captain named Pita changed his face greatly, his fists were clenched, and he was angry about looking for Shao Yifan to theorize. And Shao Yifan was not afraid, staring at him, and soon the two sides were together, scolding each other in their mouths, but they were quite restrained and did not fight further.
The players on both sides were shocked by this scene, and the red football players didn't understand why Shao Yifan suddenly went to trouble the opposing captain. The Córdoba players were a little surprised that the captain would openly say such a thing, although they also had some such thoughts, and what surprised them even more was that the other party actually understood, and dared to come up and shout.
The players on both sides hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two apart, and Xie Zhen, who was beside Shao Yifan, hurriedly dragged him back.
"Xiaofan, calm down!" Xie Zhen said to him.
"Shao Yifan, what's the matter with you?" Chen Wei also quickly ran over and asked loudly.
Shao Yifan scolded Pita again in English before he took his gaze back, looked at the blame of his teammates, and told them what had just happened with some annoyance.
The red football players were also instantly ignited, and the contradictions between the two sides were on the verge of breaking out. However, Xie Zhen, as the captain, although he was also angry, he still stopped his teammates sensibly.
At this time, the coaches of both sides who found that the situation was not right also rushed over.
Inzaghi glanced around, his gaze stopped on Shao Yifan's body, and reprimanded with a low face: "What's the matter?" What's the fuss?! ”
Shao Yifan looked at him and explained, "They insulted us! ”
"What's going on?" Inzaghi asked again.
Shao Yifan didn't speak, and the other players didn't dare to touch the coach's moldy head. So, Bell had no choice but to step forward and explain to him.
Inzaghi's face changed. After listening to Bale's story, he was also unhappy with the rudeness of the opposing players, but in his decades of football, he had seen too much of this kind of thing.
"If you really want dignity, you have to beat them on the pitch! Instead of scolding like a shrew off the field! Inzaghi glanced at the disciples and reprimanded, but this was more like what he said to Shao Yifan.
On the other hand, the head coach of Córdoba was also reprimanding his players when he learned of the situation. Acting like this before a game is obviously not what a good player should be, let alone captain.
In this way, in the strong smell of gunpowder, the game between the two sides kicked off.
