Chapter 117: A Bland Farewell

After the match, the entire Alfredo Di Stefano stadium was transformed into a sea of joy, with the songs "Hala Madrid" and "e are the champion" constantly looping on the outside radio, perhaps because the Football Association deliberately took care of the better Castile when drawing up the schedule, or it was simply a coincidence that the Fed Cup final and this championship final were assigned to them with a schedule of away and then home. This makes it easier for champions to celebrate their victory on their home turf after the match. People are not just celebrating the championship in name only, but also feeling extremely excited and excited about the team's unbeaten season.

52 official matches, 48 wins, 4 draws, scored 155 goals and conceded only 25 goals, with an average of 2.98 goals scored per game and 0.48 goals conceded. In addition to these collective accolades, the individual players have also gained a lot, and last week the Spanish Football Federation announced the stats and awards of each group in La Liga B: in the second group, Mariano won the title of top scorer with 27 goals, He was also named the best player in the group with a rating of 7.67 per game, while Alvaro was undeniably the assist winner, who delivered an astonishing 26 direct assists over the season, nearly double the second-place finisher, and his 7.64 average was the second-highest of any player. In fact, from Li Mudi's point of view, Alvaro has contributed more to the team than Mariano, but it is indeed easier for strikers to be favored, and it is really difficult for players who do not score many goals to win individual honors.

In addition, the best goalkeeper was Yáñez, the best defender was Forlan, the best midfielder was Fabas, and the best striker was Mariano, with Castilla taking all the individual bests. In the final team of the season, the 11 main players and eight substitutes in the 19-man squad, Castilla players also occupy nine of them, in addition to the four best, there are Leon, Abnell, Alvaro and Toro, the first three are the main team, and Mbappe, who has only played 13 games for the team, is also accompanied by Toro. Although the French prodigy is far from meeting the requirements in terms of appearances, the average goals and assists per game are too impressive, coupled with his high average score of 8.17, although he did not participate in the selection of the best player, but in the end the Football Association made an exception to select him in this list.

As for the team's brain Li Mudi, he is naturally the best candidate for the best coach, although this honor is almost not valued by anyone, but after all, it is also the first honor he has personally received, even if it is better than nothing. However, the unexpected surprise was that the day after this game, in the Spanish Football Federation and major media jointly selected the best coach of the season in Spain, the coach of Castilla ranked fourth on this list as the head coach of the third division team, and in front of him were Enrique, Zidane and Simeone in the top three of La Liga, which is an extremely rare thing. Li Muddy became the first coach of a La B team to enter the top four since the establishment of the award, and for a time he made a big splash in the Iberian Peninsula. Soon after, rumours spread that as many as seven or eight La Liga teams wanted to invite him to take the helm, and there was even news that La Liga side Granada, who had just narrowly escaped relegation by one point, were interested in him.

But whether it is rumored or true, these have nothing to do with Li Mudi anymore. After playing his last game and attending the club's celebration for all the members, he went into the office building to find Galeries Lafayette and inform them that he had initialled his contract with the Torino club. The chairman of Real Madrid was naturally surprised when he heard the news, after all, he jumped directly from La B to the mid-stream team of Serie A, which is really a big span, and few people can complete this kind of promotion in one step. However, in Lafayette's heart, Xiao Li is one of the few Real Madrid coaches who still maintain a good relationship with him (here I want to complain about Lafayette, his way of treating Lao Chen is too emotional, resulting in the Real Madrid coaches who later blossomed all over Spain have no contact with him, Bosque, Hierro, Morientes...... It's really full of enemies! At present, it seems that the future is still promising, and maybe one day he may come back to take over the whip, so it is still very necessary to befriend him. Thinking of this, Lafayette happily said congratulations, and then greatly waived the liquidated damages for early termination. Although Xiao Li, who has a net worth of tens of millions of euros, doesn't care about that "little money" at all, he still thanked the other party and made a verbal promise: as long as Real Madrid needs it, he will definitely return here without hesitation and dedicate everything he has to it, making Lafayette laugh.

After expressing his loyalty, the next step is naturally to talk about the benefits, and Li Mudi directly revealed the loan intentions of Jesse, Febas and others. Lafayette did not do much to block this matter, but said that as long as the coaching staff has no opinions, he is very willing to let young players train in overseas leagues, which is basically a green light for those loans, after all, the players Li Mudi wants to take away are all in the first team without a place, Qi Zu will not deliberately dismantle the stage. After that, the two had an in-depth exchange on the selection of the new head coach of Castilla and the development of some young players, and the outgoing current head coach recommended his deputy Solari. The Argentine has performed very well in his first season after succeeding Zizou in his previous life, and I believe that he will lead this group of young men with better ability than before to achieve a good result in next season's La Liga, at least there should be no suspense about the success of relegation. Although he made Solari become the head coach half a year late, but also gave him a group of stronger subordinates and the higher-level stage of the La B League, Li Mudi felt that he was on par with the other party, and it felt good not to owe others favors.

Before leaving the room, Li Mudi made a non-stop proposal to Lafayette, that is, to loan Mbappe back to Monaco for a season, and to ensure his absolute main position, for which Real Madrid can even pay a training fee. Under the extreme surprise of the other party, he analyzed Morata's first-team lineup after returning to the new season very thoroughly, and finally said: "The most difficult thing for Zizou next season is not that the cards in his hand are not enough to play, but how to adjust the order of the 'big and small king', four twos, and four aces. There are too many players in the team, and whoever plays less time is likely to cause dissatisfaction, so in the case of oversaturation of midfielders, it is very conducive to the unity of the whole team. In this regard, although Lafayette also knows that it seems to be very reasonable, but the specific disposal must be decided in combination with the common wisdom of everyone. However, Li Muddy, who was holding on to deal with potential troubles for his old club before leaving, couldn't force anything anymore, there was no French teenager in the previous life, and several bigwigs in the front court were in trouble after the season because of the playing time, and now there is a rising Mbappe, if you don't take precautions in advance, Zizou's personal charm alone can't get these big-name stars. It seems that I still need to have a good talk with my friends before leaving!

After leaving this chairman's office, Li Mudi, who had not yet handed over the whip of the reserves, went to another room in the chairman's office, where the amiable Mr. Francisco Moreno had been waiting for a long time. Out of trust and respect for the old gentleman, the day after signing the contract with Torino, Li Mudi informed the other party of his imminent departure from the team, and Mr. Chairman also sent his blessings to this. The two of them met here today to complete the final farewell, because the team was about to be disbanded, and Mr. Francisco would fly to Australia after taking care of the last things and spend the whole summer with his son who lived there, well, it seemed to be winter. In short, the next meeting between the two may not be until a long time later, so this meeting was temporarily arranged. At the end of the conversation, he made a reluctant request to Li Mudi, who was about to break into the Apennines, to use the resources of the agency behind him and his personal Celestial Empire to help the lads who are struggling to get new contracts next season find a way out, and they don't need a team with good conditions, as long as they can simply play football to continue their dreams. Xiao Li, who has always had a very low tear point when he heard this, almost burst into tears, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised to do his best to operate, and at the same time sighed in his heart that he was lucky to meet such an admirable leader at the beginning of his coaching career, which is really a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation!

On the evening of the second day, Zizu held a family banquet to celebrate the completion of an unparalleled season and the signing of Turin. After talking to the two chairmen yesterday, Li Mudi has essentially removed the whip of Castile, and his salary and bonuses for June have also been transferred to his bank card in advance, and he can now be said to be a complete free man. So he didn't have any shackles, so he naturally didn't have to worry too much, and poured out some words that are usually difficult to say to his friends. Including Ronaldo is spoiled, Dani leaks this guy is the world's No. 1 undercover agent, Morata who is about to be repurchased from Juventus will not be willing to be a substitute, and if you want to buy De Gea, you must buy it as soon as possible...... Of course, in the end, it is strongly recommended that the other party loan Mbappe back to Monaco, the Henry II and the young player Asensio who has been on loan to Espanyol this season will be the absolute core of Real Madrid's future, but there are too many good players in the first team, even if Jesse will be loaned to Italy, but Bale, Ronaldo, Isco to compete for the only remaining position is cruel enough, don't throw the young players who need to grow quickly through a lot of games into hell and desperately.

After repeatedly calculating the approximate number of games that Real Madrid will need to play next season and the amount of minutes each player can get, he made up his mind to exclude Mbappe and Coentrão, who are difficult to get too many opportunities, from the squad. In addition, he also consulted his friends about the further development of young players such as Vallejo, Diego Llorente, Lucas Silva, and Mayoral who have been on loan, and Li Mudi gave his advice after thinking for a short time: Players other than Vallejo will not be given room to play in the first team, and it is inevitable that they will be loaned out again. As for the minibus classmates, given that the first team already has four excellent central defenders, Shui Ye, Varane, Pepe and Nacho, the new coach of Turin suggested that he should be brought to Italy for a year of training, and return to Madrid next year to take over the class of the monks. In this regard, Qi Zu said: Can you be more shameless?

Because several of the original defenders of Turin seem to be unable to avoid leaving the team, so the new coach must introduce a good enough replacement as soon as possible after his arrival, Li Mudi originally planned to use the search function of the FM system to find a few candidates in the past two days, who knew that someone sent a pillow just after dozing off here, and Qi Zu's inquiry just solved part of the trouble for him. Although he really wants to pack Llorente together, but let the two youngsters under the age of 20 become the main force, and put the veterans of the original team on the bench, but anyone with a little IQ still can't do it, that is to arouse public anger! So picking only one of the best candidates is ideal, and the other options at the back should be considered otherwise.

After getting the main central defender of the new season, Li Mudi, who was so happy that the snot bubbles came out, took a taxi back to the apartment that was not about to belong to him, and everyone drank some red wine at dinner in the evening, so no one drove to see each other, but because the distance is very close, it is still not worrying about safety. At ten o'clock, just when he had just come out of the shower and was about to lie down on the bed and brush SNS before turning off the lights and going to sleep, his mobile phone rang, and the name displayed on the screen was another sworn friend of the Celestial Empire. Seeing this, Li Mudi hurriedly picked it up, this kid is usually in Pengcheng, but the dragon doesn't see the end, and he hasn't shown up for several months, so it's really rare to take the initiative to make a phone call all of a sudden.

"Hey, you kid didn't show up much during the New Year, and Baozi said that he couldn't contact you before, why did which fairy appear today and let you out?"

"I was too busy with work some time ago, so I ran a few businesses in Xiangjiang, and then I went on a business trip to the United States...... Are you convenient now? I have one thing I want to tell you. "The other party is still the same style, and he is crazier than anyone else, but once he is serious, he is not a person, and others want to retreat when they see it.

"Well, if there is any situation, just let the horse come, and when you are done, I will tell you a great good thing, and I promise you will be happy for me." Li Mudi is the kind of person who is difficult to hide secrets from his good friends, and this time he finally caught this guy who is always "hidden", so he naturally wants to share his happiness, of course, mainly to make the other party envious.

“…… Good...... Then you stabilize your emotions first" After a short silence, Qingzi said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lin got married, just last weekend, I happened to meet her colleague after I was out for dinner with a client yesterday, and I just found out...... Are you alright? ”

"......" heartache turns out to be like this! Li Mudi, who was still elated just now, couldn't help but cover his chest with his left hand as if it had been pierced by a bullet, and after squeezing out the words "I know" with his throat and hanging up the phone, he only thought of one thing in his mind: the hair sandwiched in that "Utopia" didn't seem to need to be preserved......

This night, he lay in bed and didn't really fall asleep, his mind was like the Lrc file in a music player, and there were lines of words comparable to lyrics: There was a dull pain in my heart, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't touch, and I gradually became cold......

The next day, after Li Mudi got up, he first opened the mobile phone that he had rarely turned off before and recorded those "lyrics" one by one, and then clicked on WeChat, and the prompt tone that lasted for more than a minute suddenly rang, and at first glance, it was all countless texts or voice messages sent by Baozi, Qingzi, and Brother Sugar last night. He didn't check them one by one, but posted a sentence in a group of only the four of them, "I'm fine." Then Baozi's voice replied almost in seconds: "Okay! About ten seconds later, he left a text message: "Come to the United States, let's get together!" Immediately, Qingzi and Brother Sugar each issued a "good" word.

Li Mudi only thought for a second, then opened the online ticketing software and booked a plane ticket to Los Angeles to Auckland at noon, and after simply packing his bags and personal hygiene, he didn't need to alarm anyone, strolled out of the sports city and took a taxi straight to Madrid-Barajas Airport. Before he got into the car, he still couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and looked back at Valdebebas, where he had lived for nearly seven years, and waved his hand gently, and seemed to say a final and bland farewell to it, and also seemed to say goodbye to his own relationship......
