Chapter 30: Cooking without Rice

Everyone was stunned by this shout, only to see a young man squeezed out of the dense crowd of fans, "I'm an outsider, I don't know what kind of regulations in your league regulations have for the coach's protest after a misjudgment?" ”

The league organizer who spoke just now frowned, "If it is confirmed that it is a misjudgment, then the coach naturally has the right to protest and plead, and the corresponding referee will be punished, can you prove it?" When did the stadium start being televised? There was a hint of mockery in his tone, an amateur league like this, where the fans were all from the town, so there was no need for a TV broadcast.

The young man then asked, "If it turns out that it was a miscalculation, will the penalties imposed on Coach Harry and Eintracht Frankfurt be cancelled?" ”

The organizer was stunned for a moment, discussed it with a few other people, and then said loudly, "If it is confirmed that it is a misjudgment, then the punishment for Harry attacking the referee can be lightened, but you still have to think about how to prove that it is a misjudgment and then make trouble." ”

The young man unhurriedly held up a pocket camera, and the volunteers who maintained order hurriedly released him, "I just captured this moment, the player was not offside, if you don't believe it, we protest and play it through the curtain of the stadium for all the fans to see." ”

In order to keep costs under control, and not very necessary, the stadium does not have a large screen, but there are dual-purpose screens that can be used to play images through projections, and when there are no games, it could easily be converted into an open-air cinema in the town.

Without waiting for the organizers to say, naturally the staff of the stadium took the camera, and after a while, the curtain was put down, and the fans clearly saw the replay of the game footage, and sure enough, when the players of the "Frankfurt" team cleared the siege, the camera happened to shoot a panorama, and the position relationship between Le Maire and the opposing defender was clear at a glance.

The league organizers gathered together for an urgent meeting with grim faces.

"Thank you so much, but it's such a coincidence that you just happened to be paying attention to the whole game, not the shots." Harry thanked the young man from the bottom of his heart for the crucial moment, and if it weren't for this video, his football coaching career would have come to an end at this moment.

"No, I don't need to thank me, I'm actually a graduate student at the American School of Architecture, and I heard from friends who have traveled here that there is a football stadium that is unimaginable from an architectural point of view, so I used the vacation time to see it on the ground, and I'm also a fan, so I plan to use the camera to film the game in this stadium, but ......" The young man had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"But what?" Uncle Haba hurriedly asked, he was very happy with this sudden comedy plot.

"But...... It was so boring that I was going to shoot it with a camera and then I just fixed it to my seat so I was able to record it. ”

Everyone was overwhelmed by such an unexpected explanation, and after a while, the surrounding fans began to burst into laughter, and then this laughter began to spread, and as the words of the young Americans were spread by the fans one by one, the laughter became louder and louder, and finally, the whole stadium seemed to be a place for a burlesque show.

Finally, the small meeting of the league organizers was over, and the man who had just spoken picked up the loudspeaker again, "Okay, we recognize this miscalculation, the accusation of Mr. Harry's provocation of the referee can be dismissed, but after all, he beat and insulted Mr. Grigor in public, if Mr. Grigor alleges that there is not enough security in this stadium, we will consider stopping this stadium, as well as the home qualification of Farnu Town, and in the future, the "Frankfurt" team will only play in other stadiums, And Mr. Harry will not be able to appear in any of the leagues. ”

As soon as this passage came out, the whole stadium was quiet again, and Harry's kick to Grigor was indeed a little inexplicable, and if Farnu Town was disqualified from the home stadium, it would also be a heavy blow to this team and these football lovers.

"Why did the tournament organizers go to such lengths to target the town of Farnu, is it just because the course makes them covetous?" Lao Liu lowered his voice and asked Uncle Haba.

"Of course, it's not just that, the key problem is that our town is not willing to be at their mercy."

"At their mercy? What do you mean. ”

"Alas, in fact, there is no big deal, we are not registered in the German Football Association as an amateur league, which means that even if the team in our league wins first, it will not get the chance of promotion, the key problem is that these league organizers do not want us to enter the league system of the German Football Association, if that they will be subject to a lot of restrictions and lose a lot of opportunities to profit, and several teams led by our town have been contacting other teams in the hope of changing this situation, although our "Frankfurt" There is no promotion at the moment, but it will be good for all of us. Uncle Haba also replied to Lao Liu in a low voice.

"Oh, so they're going to hit you."

"Yes, if they can punish us, it will give a warning to other teams, and no one will dare to disobey their wishes, you don't know, they are now charging more fees for the teams participating in the Alpine League than the teams in the German third division, but unfortunately the work of being recognized by the Football Association is very complicated, and it takes the whole league team to be sincere and successful."

Lao Liu was furious, this is obviously to use football to collect money, to all those who love football, to football itself, is a great insult, at this time, the words of the league organizer interrupted Lao Liu's thinking.

"Alright, fans, now I'm going to ask Mr. Grigor what he thinks, if even the head coach of an rival team like him is sure that it is not safe here, I will declare the disqualification of Farnu Town from home in accordance with the league regulations, Mr. Grigor, what do you mean?"

It was evident that the newspaper publisher of British descent had received a hint from the league organisers, and he took the microphone and was about to say what he thought, when a voice suddenly interrupted him, also through a megaphone, so that the fans of the entire stadium could hear it clearly.

"Mr. Manager, you can make it impossible for Farnu Town to qualify at home, but I suspect you don't dare to face this energetic team here again, because the next time you play Eintracht Frankfurt here, you will lose at least three goals or more. ”

"What, who, dare to talk nonsense like this." Grigor was enraged, "With a team like this, I would win 100 games if I played 100 games." ”

"Okay, so do you dare to make a bet?"

"What a bet, you say."

The league organizers sensed something was wrong, and one person desperately gestured at Grigor, but in this situation, Grigor was already riding a tiger, and besides, he was so angry that he didn't even notice these gestures.

"Tomorrow this time to play again, if Eintracht Frankfurt can't win you by three goals, we will close the home stadium, otherwise you will be kicked this way, do you dare to bet? ”

The whole stadium was so quiet that even a pin could be heard falling, everyone was waiting for Grigor's answer, and the league organizers were no longer so nervous, after all, with the strength of the "Frankfurt" team, it was impossible to win "Arsenal" by three goals.

"This, hahaha," Grigor burst out laughing, "Interesting proposal, it's your fight to the death, I like the idea." He turned his head to look at the league organizer next to him, "But I want to bet bigger, if you can win me by more than three goals, on behalf of the "Arsenal" club, I fully support your contact with the German Football Association, if not, then you will disband the team and stop participating in the Alpine League, dare you bet?" By the way, you should know that the owner of "Arsenal" is my father, so what I say must be fulfillable, and you, Asian, how old are you, can your words count? ”

"Chinese, you are so bold." Uncle Haba said to Lao Liu with some displeasure, "You don't know, this person is a loyal collaborator of the league organizers, you just give them an excuse to get rid of the team in our town, you are too hasty." ”

"No, Uncle Haba, I now understand that what has been lacking in our town is this gentleman's courage, and I bet that if I can't win, I'll do my best to get my team into the official German amateur league, no matter how much it costs." A white-haired old man walked over.

"This is Mr. Verga, the main patron of our team, and a big entrepreneur in the town, the former mayor of Farnu Town......" Uncle Haba hurriedly introduced to Lao Liu.

Verga waved his hand to stop Uncle Haba's words, "If you lose your home field, it won't be interesting to continue in this league, this gentleman, are you a football coach?" Do you think we have any hope of beating them by three goals? ”

Lao Liu nodded twice in a row, and was about to speak, but Verga took the lead and picked up the microphone, "I, Cruise, Verga, on behalf of the "Frankfurt" club in Farnu Town, decided to accept the gambling suggestion of Mr. Grigor of the "Arsenal" club, and temporarily hired this ......" looked back at Lao Liu, and Lao Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liu Lu." Verga continued: "Well, Mr. Liu Lu has joined the team's coaching staff to prepare for tomorrow's game with Mr. Harry. ”

Grigor and the league organisers froze, and then, an undisguised look of joy quickly appeared on their faces, and the crowd began to shout loud cheers for the team after a brief silence.

"Mr. Verga, I'm sorry, it's all because I ......" Harry walked over a little embarrassed, and Mr. Verga patted him on the shoulder, "I like persistent people, so I haven't asked about your persistence, I hope your persistence will pay off, remember, don't be pressured, tomorrow we will play the momentum of our Farnu Town." ”

"Okay, Mr. Verga, but ......"

"Coach Harry, I know that today's gamble is an impossible task for all of you, but I want to say that I am confident that this team can play beyond everyone's imagination." Liu Luzhen stretched out his hand from the side and held Harry tightly together.

said that he came to put down football and relax, and now he has to be a coach again, Lao Liu seems to have returned to four years ago, the moment when he just walked into the Wellingham Club, the same face of strong opponents, the same rice cooking, and the same, that is: Anna will appear in front of him after the victory.

But what if you can't win?
