Chapter 90: The National Football Team and the Champion

Of course, there is another record that is likely to be broken by this Castile team in the next round. With eight rounds left in the league at the earliest, they are 22 points ahead of Baraka, who are currently in second place, which means that as long as Li Mudi's team can win the next round of the league, regardless of the outcome of other matches, they will be able to win Group 2 of La B seven rounds ahead of schedule. This number of rounds will set a new record for the entire Spanish third tier, which was originally five rounds to win the championship early.

The next day's Spanish newspapers rarely set aside a large space to describe the magic of this season's Castilla, but most reporters were relatively restrained, after all, the final championship will have to wait until next week, but it does not prevent them from warming up first. The Spanish national television station Television Española 1 (TVE1) has already announced on its official website that they will broadcast the league match between Castilla and La Roda live next Saturday night, which has caused heated discussions throughout Spanish football.

The last time national television broadcast football in non-La Liga and La B was back in the distant last century, and it would be great if some of the most significant matches in La Liga B could be recorded, but the match in which Castile is very likely to win the championship is completely different. Due to the schedule of the national team's break, the Spanish national team will play two friendlies against Italy and Romania on 24 and 27 March respectively in preparation for the European Championship in France, which will be held in mid-June. From this weekend until the beginning of April, there will be no fixtures in La Liga and La B, during which only League B and below will be played normally. And for the national television station, which has long been accustomed to broadcasting football matches live on two nights on the weekend, the national team will be broadcast live next Sunday, and the time will be vacated on Saturday night. If it was possible to temporarily transfer other programs to fill the time according to the previous plan, but at this time, Li Mudi's team was about to sweep the West B League with a supernatural record, and the leaders of the TV station set up a live broadcast of the "Enthronement Night", giving all the members of Castile a great opportunity to show their faces in front of the people of the whole country.

Monday is a routine rest day, Li Mudi still gets up early**, and after a simple breakfast, he comes out of Valdebebas Sports City and gets into the nanny car sent by the agency and goes straight to the children's welfare home on the outskirts of Madrid that he has been to for group activities before.

When he arrived there and took out all the gifts he had entrusted to the agent to buy from the car, Li Mudi's heart was about to melt when he saw the smiles of those innocent and lovely angels all from the bottom of his heart. While sharing this joy, he also felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart. This time, I came to give love to the children's welfare home, but in fact, the motive was not pure, it was just to complete the punishment of social service. In addition, the purpose of coming here for the first time was to relieve the pressure of the players at that time and create a team atmosphere, not just for these children, which made the manager of Castilla feel very uncomfortable, and immediately decided to come here more often when he has time in the future to make the greatest contribution to these angels in need.

Now Li Mudi's task is to help the teachers and aunts in the welfare home watch the children eat breakfast, although they are simple bread, eggs and bacon, but there are still some children who are too old and have upper limb disabilities who cannot eat on their own and need someone to help.

After breakfast, it was time for free time, and the Castile coach first read a few stories to some of the older teenagers, and then took out the DVD of the Harry Potter movie before being dragged away by a group of young children, and showed it to the children who usually had difficulty seeing the latest movies. Li Mudi, who walked into another room, turned into a group of children with an average age of only five or six years old, playing with them, so all kinds of pacifiers, new clothes, and toys appeared on his body and hands, causing the teachers who were guarding outside the door to laugh. This honor was also photographed by Solari, who came over later, with his mobile phone, but fortunately, Li Mudi used his identity as the team's OSS to forcibly order the other party not to pass it on to others, otherwise I am afraid it will cause a bloody storm on SNS.

Seeing that the people were all there, Li Mudi got out of the game with the help of the staff of the welfare home, and together with his agent and assistant, he took tools and began to repair some damaged tables, chairs and benches. After lunch, he received some sports equipment delivered to his door from the online store, which was all when he received the lottery prize when he thought of the last time he came to play football with the children, so he casually ordered two goals, a few standard-sized and mini versions of the soccer ball, and some skipping ropes and other things online. After placing the goal in the yard with the help of the delivery staff, the afternoon event turned into a football match of more than 50 people, led by Li Mudi and Solari respectively, a team of more than 20 people, without various position arrangements, just a swarm of swarms at the same time to kick several balls, and finally the teachers scored, whoever kicked the most balls into the opponent's gate will win.

All in all, several people spent a very fulfilling and meaningful day here, and before leaving in the evening by car, the director of the welfare home wrote down twelve hours of service time on Li Mudi's record card. As for the gradual reduction of the penalty time and the more than 3,000 euros he spent on buying various gifts for the children today, Li Mudi thinks that these are not as good as the beautiful and innocent atmosphere he felt when he was with this group of angels, his soul seems to have been washed and sublimated during this period of time, okay, this is a bit exaggerated, but the joy from the bottom of his heart is difficult to get in his usual work and life, and his state of mind that is difficult to calm down because of various pressures has also been thoroughly adjusted to the most ideal state. The whole body is full of motivation to do a big job, so Li Mudi feels that compared to the children who can get some toys, he has gained more things......

The members of the team who returned to the training ground the next day found that their boss was indeed in a very good mood, because when he saw the national team call-up documents, he did not have a black face like the previous times, but very calmly put this matter behind him and began to guide the players throughout the process. You must know that in normal times, the coach of the team rarely participates in the links other than tactical drills, and the other training content is fully responsible for each coach. And the situation of observing everywhere and making specific requests from time to time like today has never happened before, which has to make everyone curious, but fortunately, Li Mudi's strange state lasted for a morning, and in the afternoon, it returned to the previous form of "playing dead", and this motivation inevitably disappeared too quickly!

On Thursday night, Gines was once again at the team's apartment, and his main purpose was to discuss the position of the Celestial Empire national team manager with his only head coach client. Li Mudi watched the World Cup qualifiers round of 40 between the Celestial Empire and the Maldives on the computer with video software, and said directly without looking back: "Regardless of whether they can look at me or not, as far as the current situation is concerned, I will not take over this team in the next five years." You see, even in the face of such a country with a population of only over 400,000 at home, and still playing like this grandmother, if you want to coach these people, I will not be wasted a few years of life in vain! ”

After seeing Genes's face full of disapproval, he had to blow himself up and say: "Of course, it can't be completely hopeless for them, after all, the overall strength of Asia is still very limited, as long as a group of young talents are re-selected (well, this word will not be complained about for the time being), and then work hard, it is not impossible to achieve certain results." But there is one of the most bizarre football associations in the world, and they will always bring enough 'surprises' to everyone after a period of time. Let's take the high guidance. He pointed to the screen, "Originally, he led the team very well in 09 and 10, and he was well received by the majority of industry insiders and fans, and some people have even begun to look forward to the second World Cup trip." But just before the start of the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil, the stupid X of the Football Association actually replaced the position of high coach with Camacho, you can't be ridiculous! It's not that I'm laughing at Jose, his level is really not good, he was eliminated in the first stage of the qualifiers, and he only achieved 6 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in two years, which is simply to cheat money, and he is still fighting a lawsuit with the Heavenly Dynasty. ”

Camacho was also a contracted client of Genes' agency, so he really couldn't take over the topic, so he had to smile awkwardly. Fortunately, Li Mudi has been venting his dissatisfaction with the Celestial Empire Football Association there and has not paid attention to the situation here.

At this time, the coach of Castile no longer cared about watching the game, but kept talking about all kinds of nots: "What is that called Perran, I have never heard of it before, and it is really inexplicable that he became the head coach of the Celestial Empire national team in such a vague way." But if you really have the ability, it's okay, it's not a mess in the future, let Director Gao come back and wipe his ass! Now this situation is a high finger, where can I stabilize the momentum and fight for the line if I change others? ”

"Oh? You can't go too? ”

"Me? I'm not that loved! There are so many big guys in the team, how can I have fun! Li Mudi shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Seeing that the other party really didn't have the slightest ambition for that position, Genes had no choice but to sigh a few times in his heart and leave happily.

Fortunately, the episode of this night did not interfere with Li Mudi's preparation for the weekend's league championship, and in the next two days of training, he and the whole team put 100% attention and hard work, and they are confident that they will be able to achieve the final victory.

On Saturday, March 26, at 20:30 p.m., the 31st round of the season in Group B2 of the season ushered in the first kick-off and the most interesting matchup: Castilla met at home at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano against La Roda, who are fifteenth in the standings.

The 8,400 seats were filled just over two hours before the start of the game, and the first team temporarily opened the South Stand at the Bernabeu so that some of the home fans who could not buy tickets could cheer on the reserve team through the large screens set up in the stadium.

In addition, the sidelines of the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium were flooded with multimedia reporters, who were also engrossed in the home team's coaches and players from the beginning of the practice, and it was hard to believe that this was a third-tier game.

In the pre-match press conference, the Styrian coach did not say a word about the championship in front of many reporters about greatness, records and other issues, but only emphasized the quality of the opponent over and over again, and the home team needs to use 100% ability to get a satisfactory answer. But even he was so low-key, but he couldn't suppress the media's praise and admiration for this team.

Castilla's starting list for this game: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back Forlan, central defenders Hector and Manu, left-back Tejero, central midfielders Fabas and Toro, right winger Alvaro, left winger Pieters, forward Muñoz, single striker Rivero, because some of the main players were called up by the national teams at all levels, Li Mudi sent the strongest squad according to the existing personnel structure, and the formation was restored to 4-2-3-1.

Although the coaching staff had been decompressing the boys before the game, the players still looked very nervous after they got on the playing field, and they played very badly for a while, and all kinds of mistakes were frequent. However, fortunately, the visitors focused on the next two rounds of the relegation rivals, and did not let the two core players who were suspended for only one yellow card play, so even if Castilla gave various gifts, they failed to seize the opportunity and kept the 0-0 score until the twentieth minute.

At this time, after the coach's roar on the sidelines, the home team players gradually returned to their normal form as the game progressed, and gradually controlled the situation on the field, and a long-range shot from Febas successfully knocked on the door of the away team, and the team was one step closer to the league championship trophy in the cheers of the fans throughout the length.

Five minutes later, Rivero's cross from the right flank of Alvaro was met with an imposing header to make it 2-0, and the suspense of almost everyone who had already decided that the championship had been completely solved.

With the goal of a new league goal just before half-time by young centre-back Manu, the whole of Alfredo Di Stéfano turned into a sea of joy, and the fans sang Real Madrid's team song "Hala Madrid" over and over again without a break, so that all the spectators watching the live broadcast of the game felt this heartfelt joy.
