Chapter 123: Returning Home (4)
Walking to the side of the pitch, the first person to meet was Ruben, Pellegrini's former assistant, after the departure of his old partner, but remained in the town, briefly as acting manager, and soon, after the arrival of the new manager, returned to his position.
In terms of coaching ability, Ruben does have a lot of flaws, it is difficult to pick up the backbone of a team alone, but as an assistant coach, he is very successful, can meticulously implement any arrangements of the head coach, and maintain a good relationship with the players - he is really not suitable to stand in front of the stage, but behind the scenes, he is the "general manager of life" and does a good job.
Seeing Fan Bizhuang, the middle-aged man who single-handedly brought him from Barcelona to Villarreal had an uncontrollable look of excitement and joy on his face, and he did not hide this joy, and stretched out his hand through the fence.
"Fan! Ha, you kid still knows to come back, I thought you had forgotten which direction your home was! ”
Fan Bizhuang hurriedly handed his hand up and shook Mr. Ruben heavily, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Ruben." ”
"I'm also very happy to meet you. But...... Well, I read the newspapers, and you kid is still the same as before, and you love to get into trouble. You have to be restrained, this time the ban is not long, but it is also a lesson, I don't want the soldiers I brought out to always sit in the stands with sad faces. ”
Fan Bizhuang laughed, he couldn't refute this, what kind of temperament he was, Villarreal's old friends knew it clearly. In fact, his temper has subsided a lot now, but sometimes, this thing really can't be endured if it can be endured.
"I will, Mr. Reuben."
Fan Bizhuang nodded, and Mr. Ruben happily asked him a few words about the recent situation in the UK, and then waved his hand, "Okay, the training is about to start again, I have to prepare first, and we will have a good chat after the training is over." Santiago, they're over there, let's go over and say hi, but don't delay our training, they're not like you, they can 'take a vacation' in the open...... Oh, I just saw that you seemed to be with that boy from Aaron, what did you say to him? ”
Yasius was still sitting not far away, his head lowered, his face was melancholy and tangled, Fan Bizhuang raised his eyes and looked at it, turned his head and smiled: "It seems that you care about that little guy very much." ”
"He's a very hard-working young man, he's also a kid from a small town, so I naturally hope he can have a good future." Mr. Ruben waved his hand.
Fan Bizhuang spread his hands and nodded: "I didn't say anything, I just told him my story and told him that he needs to make the most advantageous choice by himself." ”
Mr. Reuben waved his hand thoughtfully, turned and walked towards the training ground.
Fan Bizhuang went to Felisa's side, Cazorla, Godin and the others were talking to her, and the group was laughing, and Felisa was so embarrassed that her face was red.
"If you're flirting with my girlfriend while I'm not there, then I think you'll have to run faster after the training is over, you know, my fists don't recognize people."
Seeing Fan Bizhuang coming over, the old guys' eyes lit up and shouted excitedly.
"Oh oh, look, look, who is this? Does this guy look like that friend of ours? Am I mistaken? Isn't that friend of ours in England far away? ”
"Man, you read that right, this guy is indeed the bastard we knew."
"Ha, that's true, this eye, this nose, this mouth...... Isn't that Fan? I said man, why are you willing to come back to see us? Could it be that he misses us and can't sleep all night? ”
"Haha, welcome back, Fan!"
The sudden appearance of old friends really made this group of people very happy, some were whistling, some were clapping, and some people made a hug from afar.
Familiar faces, familiar voices, still the same as before, old friends are greeting Fan Bizhuang in their own way.
Fan Bizhuang responded one by one with a smile, and Felisha shouted "dissatisfied" next to him: "Uncle Fan, you came just in time, these unscrupulous guys, they bullied me......"
Before the words fell, a group of unscrupulous guys started to heax again.
"I said Felisa, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise Fan still thinks, what have we done to you?"
"I feel very wronged, didn't I just ask when I will get married?"
"Fan happens to be here, Felisa, tell us what it's like to go from a girl to a woman?"
“…… It's vulgar! If you really want to feel, go for a surgery to become a woman, and you will know! ”
"Hahaha, great idea!"
Fan Bizhuang glared at a few unserious old friends viciously, but he didn't hold back, and he laughed himself. Felisa stomped her foot hatefully, blushing and dropping a sentence "I won't invite you to get married", and then ran away in a huff.
Cazorla looked at Fan Bizhuang with a smile on her face: "But seriously, Fan, when are you going to marry our Felisa?" It's been so many years, and it's time to settle your life's work. Look at me, look at Diego, our kids can make soy sauce, but you don't move at all......"
"How do you feel like you're more anxious than I am." Fan Bizhuang rolled his eyes.
"That's natural, Felisa is also our sister, we can't watch her being dragged into an old girl by you bastard, guys, don't you think?"
Godin and the others laughed, and Fernandez teased: "I can't get you in this life, but my son is not bad, I want my son to find a place in your child in the future...... But don't be at that time, little Fernandez is galloping on the field, your child is still feeding, ha, think about that picture, I can't be happy......"
“……”
Looking at the old friends who were smiling, Fan Bizhuang helplessly spread his hands, "Don't worry, get ready for red envelopes, guys, in the summer, you have to send congratulatory gifts to me and Felisa." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted and congratulated Fan Bizhuang with a smile.
After chatting for a while, it was agreed that everyone would get together again after the training, and at this time, Mr. Ruben had already beckoned the big guys in the distance to start training, and a group of people waved and returned to the training ground.
……
The evening party was held in Uncle Hill's western restaurant, not only Cazorla and other old friends came, even some familiar team staff also came, friends warmly welcomed the return of Fan Bizhuang, and Fan Bizhuang was also in a good mood, a group of people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the atmosphere was warm, and in the end, the big guys left with a little drunk.
The next few days seemed calm and leisurely, walking with Juan every day, trimming flowers and plants, or going to the city to chat with old friends, while close former teammates would occasionally come to the courtyard to talk and laugh with Fan Bizhuang after training.
At the weekend, Van Bizhuang and Felisa also went to the Love Song Stadium to watch Villarreal's home match against Atletico Madrid.
This season, Villarreal's results are not bad, after more than a season of precipitation, Pellegrini, Van Bizhuang, Diego. The impact of the departure of important figures such as Forlan has gradually dissipated, and the yellow submarine has gradually recovered from the "heavy blow", Cazorla, Godin, Rossi and other "old men" have provoked the team's beams, especially Rossi, and now he has become the team's most indispensable leading scorer, from the second half of last season, Italy's talented striker ushered in a state blowout, continuous goals, helping the team achieve a good ranking, and this season, Villarreal has introduced some good players, The goal is straight on the European stage.
Villarreal currently sit sixth in the league and if they continue to play on the current momentum, it is not an unattainable dream to return to European competition after a year.
Of course, this game is not a good opponent to gnaw on, with Atletico Madrid currently sitting second in the La Liga table, four points behind Barcelona at the top of the table, which is not a big gap, and they still have hopes of competing for the league title. And being able to beat the defending league champion Real Madrid and rank second is enough to show that the strength of the Sheets Army this season is good.
In the pre-match media anticipation, although it was an away game, Atletico Madrid seemed to have a better chance of winning.
But no one expected that this game would be completely one-sided, not Atletico Madrid pressed the home team to beat up, but Villarreal in the first half, the Sheets Army who came to the excitement was beaten to the north.
Fan Bizhuang's sudden return made a group of old friends full of fighting spirit, holding back their strength to show in front of their friends, and Fan Bizhuang's appearance in the stands also made the fans in the small town more excited, cheers and shouts did not stop for a moment.
Inspired by the madness of more than 30,000 home fans, Villarreal's players ran wildly all over the pitch, and in the first half alone, Rossi scored two goals in a row to establish the victory of the game.
In the second half, Godin and Cazorla's goals completely lost the suspense of the game, and near the end of the game, Diego wore a red and white sword striped shirt. Forlan scored a face-saving goal for Atletico, but it didn't help the bigger picture.
With a score of 4:1, Villarreal won this strong dialogue heartily.
There was also a small episode after the game, Cazorla took off his jersey, revealing a white T-shirt underneath, which was written with a pen: Victory to you, my best friend, Fan!
The fans cheered for the victory while shouting Fan Bizhuang's name, and Fan Bizhuang was emotionally swinging his fist, and with the fans on the scene, singing the folk song that belonged to the small town over and over again.
