Chapter Seventy-Five: An Unexpected Surprise (Part II)
Saturday night was another good night's dream, not that Li Mudi, who has always been thoughtful, has mutated his genes and become nervous. Instead, with his own powerful agent on the horse, coupled with Lafayette standing behind him watching the enemy sweep the formation, there is almost nothing he can do, and the first task now is to win the night game, as for the lawsuit, leave it to the professionals to be busy.
The first trial, which took place at 3 p.m. on that day, went surprisingly smoothly, and in the face of all the evidence, the pale quibbles of the football hooligan Juan Ricky not only failed to save him anything, but instead made everyone present feel even more disgusted with him, and perhaps the boy's punishment would be further aggravated. But without waiting for the judge's verdict, his reputation among the common people is already on the street. Almost all the media exposed his extremely disgusting face, and many people who originally supported him immediately changed their positions and defected. I don't know if Juan Rickey, who is now in a situation where everyone is shouting and beating, will have a trace of remorse in his heart, but the coach of Castile in Madrid doesn't care at all, the more unlucky this scumbag is, the better, how can he have that extra sympathy for him!
After learning about the trial from his agent over the phone, Li Mudi's mood was quite good. The facts of the case are very clear, and it is estimated that the verdict will be pronounced in the middle of the week when the court reconvenes, and there is a 95% chance that the punishment will be a fine of 20,000 euros and 100 hours of social service, which is completely acceptable; And Juan Ricky is not so lucky, the two lawyers are still actively operating, hoping to make this case hotter and attract more people's attention, and then there will be a strict sentence.
In a good mood, a bright smile naturally appeared on his face, and when the players saw the head coach's expression, they all roughly guessed that the event was going very well, and they were all happy for the boss. As soon as this mood was good, the state of the game naturally improved, which made Li Mudi have more expectations for the evening game.
On Sunday, March 6, at 19:00, Castilla welcomed the opponent of the 28th round of the league at home, Fuen Lavrada, and the second match between Li Mudi and his friend Morientes is about to begin.
Due to the fierce midweek cup tie, the home team did not field the main players in that game, but gave some substitute rotation players the opportunity to play. Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back is Dani who has just recovered from injury, central defenders Hector and Senna, left-back Tejero, central midfielders Peperu and Rubio, right wing-back Cederes, left wing-back Pieters, double striker Kuchi and Mariano.
Morientes lined up a more conservative 4-1-3-1-1 formation away from home, with a single midfielder, three central midfielders, a single forward and a single striker, which was clearly defensive-oriented. Two youngsters on loan from Castilla have also been included in the squad again, with centre-back Borja starting the game and winger Carlos on the bench due to his style of play.
The first meeting between the two sides came in the ninth round of the league, when Morientes' side were very successful at home to the visiting Castilla side, and the final 1-1 score showed that the two teams were indeed close in that game. This is the second and last meeting of the season, and the two managers naturally want a clear decision.
During the warm-up before the start of the game, Li Mudi naturally appeared on the sidelines to watch, and the home team fans at the scene actually put up a lot of banners supporting him and opposing racial discrimination, including a square flag with his face appeared above the home team's bench, which was written in Spanish and Chinese: "Li, we are with you", so that the Castilian coach with a very low tear point almost lost control and left tears on the spot. In the face of this unexpected surprise given to him by the fans, Li Mudi waved his hands around to express his gratitude before returning to the locker room. No, it should be one-handed, and his left hand has to pretend to be injured, just thinking about it, he was so frightened that he immediately sweated, and quickly put down the arm that was tightly tied with a strap, and then hoped that no one would notice.
Immediately after kick-off, the visitors used possession tactics and faced the home team's almost all substitute line-up, so it was only natural that Morientes would not miss the opportunity to take the initiative at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. It's a pity that Castilla's four-midfield configuration is very stable, coupled with the frequent retreat of Kutche, who is flexible and erratic, resulting in their passing ball not being able to gain a foothold in the midfield, and most of the possession space can only be concentrated in their own backfield, with empty possession, which is actually useless.
The home team's players are not mobilized by the opponent, if Fuenlavrada is willing to reverse the ball at the back, he will let it go, but once he wants to pass the ball to the midfield circle, he will immediately step up the scramble, not giving them any chance to organize the attack calmly. In addition, on the offensive end, he made full use of Cederes's crosses on the right side, combined with Mariano's impact and Kuchi's dexterous skills, constantly causing problems for the opposition. The level of the visitors' backline is half a pound compared to Castile, and it is very difficult to cope with the individual ability of these three players, but fortunately goalkeeper Ismael reacted very quickly and defused the opponent's very threatening attack on several occasions, so that the goal was not breached for the time being.
As the game progressed, Fuenlavrada was gradually pressed back into the half, and the threat posed to them by the forward combination of Kuchi and Mariano was really beyond the expectations of Morientes before the game, and the two men who gradually developed a tacit understanding really had the style of Raul when he partnered with the visiting manager. The former hides behind his team-mates and plays with his opponent's entire backline with his excellent dribbling skills, as if Fuenlavrada's defense is struggling to find a good way to deal with him other than fouls.
However, in this game, their goalkeeper's performance was really amazing, and he saved several must-score goals in a row, which made the Castilla players helpless for a while, and their morale actually declined. If you continue to score points like this, you will really be stolen by the opponent from the home field. Just when several attacking players were a little overwhelmed by the visitors' goalkeeper, centre-back Hector surprised Li Muddy and his team.
In the 38th and 42nd minutes, the centre-back, who was gradually losing his absolute main position due to the sudden rise of teenager Manu, took advantage of two corner kicks to successfully defeat Ismael, who had performed well in the game. The first goal came with a powerful header over the opposition defender, and the second came from an own goal from the head of visiting centre-back Carrasco, who gave Castilla a two-goal lead over Fuenlavrada at half-time.
In the second half of the game, the leading home team was more comfortable in the maneuver with the opponent, constantly taking advantage of the opponent's anxiety to get back the score to play a number of quick counterattacks, but unfortunately in the face of Ismael, the two strikers of Kuchi and Mariano failed to find a way to send the ball into the opponent's goal, but another central defender, Senna, used a set-piece opportunity in the 75th minute to help the team completely seal the victory.
Castilla, who were a little relaxed, were taken on the pitch by the visitors, who saved face in the 87th minute when substitute striker Matas netted a face-saving goal that left Moody's side disappointed that they could not get a perfect victory. However, the use of a large number of substitutes has also successfully continued the team's recent good momentum, and the coaching staff are generally satisfied, believing that after a difficult few weeks of fixtures, the day will not be too far away for Castilla to create a magical unbeaten record of the season.
After the game, Li Mudi hugged his friend Morientes tightly, thanking him for the blessings and three gifts he sent to him, but the latter laughed and scolded and pushed away. He then came to the middle of the stadium again, gave a thumbs up to the fans who were cheering for the team and supporting him, and bowed several times to thank them for what they had done for him.
The video of this scene appeared on Real Madrid's official website after the game, and immediately attracted a large number of public attention, and netizens praised it as the most harmonious and beautiful relationship between fans and club members, which deserves to be learned and praised by everyone.
Just when the Spanish football circle once again reported that Castilla fans fully supported their head coach, the person concerned flew to Paris, France early the next morning to go to the appointment of the goddess.
It only takes two hours to fly directly from Madrid to Paris, and if you can order in advance, the price will be very cheap, about fifty or sixty euros, and it will be even cheaper if you can order in advance. But Li Mudi's timing of this ride was very bad, early on Monday morning and it was the Paris Autumn and Winter Fashion Week, the ticket price suddenly soared to more than 400 euros, which is equivalent to his day's salary. Bare. Naked money grabbing! You must know that the annual salary of the head coach of Castile is also a standard high-income group in the European continent, if this is converted into a reference situation in the Celestial Empire, it is equivalent to flying from Nanjing to Chongqing but spending more than 4,000 yuan on air tickets. But the charm of the goddess cannot be underestimated, it is rare to have a big beauty willing to take care of herself, and Li Mudi is naturally happy to be extravagant once.
At 9:10 a.m. Paris time, perhaps in the eyes of the French, Li Mudi walked out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, immediately dialed Song Qian's phone, asked for the specific address, and then took a taxi directly to the destination - the famous Champs-Élysées.
As a post-80s generation of the Celestial Dynasty who is a bit "angry", Li Mudi's impression of this country is a little bad. At that time, the relationship between the two countries was still very close. Later, when the West adopted a total blockade policy against the New Celestial Empire in the sixties, France led by General de Gaulle was the first Western power to establish diplomatic relations with us at the ambassadorial level. However, after Sarkozy was elected president in 07, this country has completely become a "sworn friend" of the United States, and has been carrying out various provocative acts against the Celestial Empire on some major issues, which has caused the relationship between the two countries to plummet to the freezing point in diplomatic history, which naturally affects the perception of this country by a large number of people.
But hate it, you have to admit that the city and the whole country are beautiful, both in terms of people and scenery. Especially along the gentle and wide Seine, the countless places of interest and scenery on both sides are like a dream, making you linger and breathtaking.
Unfortunately, Charles de Gaulle Airport is located about 25 kilometers north of Paris, and it is a small pity that the most historic river in Europe can only be seen in the distance on the way to the Champs-Élysées on the way to the Champs-Élysées.
After getting off the bus at the place and paying the fare of more than 40 euros, Xiao Li said that he was really heartbroken. After taking out his mobile phone to verify the detailed address, Li Muddy strolled along the most famous street in the world, walked to the century-old shop, Fouquet's café, and looked for the connector among the small tables outside.
