It will be July 11 and the venue will be Las Rozas Football City in Madrid.

With a smile on his face and a relaxed expression, it was not only him, but also the president of Sporting Gijón to his left, Man** Bega Arango, and the chairman of Numancia Francisco Rubio Cálces, who sat to his right, also talked and laughed, and the presidents of the three teams who fought to the death in La Liga last season for promotion seem to be on the same side at this time.

As discussed by Linson and Tapia before, regarding the schedule of the new season, for several promoted polo teams, today's draw is just a passing scene.

For the arrangement of the league schedule, the whole European football world is much the same, nothing more than to send a questionnaire to the clubs and the police of the city where they are located to understand the needs of all parties, and then avoid some specific days, some heavyweight encounters, such as the Spanish national derby The game time is the focus of attention, naturally it is necessary to pay special attention, in addition, the teams that need to participate in the continental league also need to make corresponding adjustments in the schedule, which is why Tapia said that the schedule has little to do with Malaga, As a promoted horse, Malaga has almost no special avoidance points in the arrangement of the race, so naturally there is nothing to consider. In order to show fairness, the schedule of La Liga is arranged by random draw, which means that the match is decided by lot, and then adjusted accordingly according to the needs of all parties.

At this time, the press conference has not yet reached the draw stage, and an official of the Football Association is summarizing last season and looking forward to the new season, which probably means nothing more than to show their fairness, justice and openness, and hope that the clubs will abide by the law. Croatian Kresic.

Since it was an interesting story, Xiao Sans's reaction to this naturally was just a smile, and Arango on the side also showed the same smile, but his eyes were playful.

Last season's La Liga, Malaga was beaten home and away by Numancia, and now both teams have been promoted to La Liga, although at the level of the chairman, there are only absolute interests, no absolute enemies, but to say that Little Sans doesn't mind at all, I'm afraid it's unlikely, you know, only two years ago, Little Sans was the captain of Malaga.

Malaga was suppressed by Numancia in terms of record, and the club's situation is also inferior to the other party, as the president of GrupoHerce, a famous construction company in Spain, Carces, although not as good as the former Real Madrid president Fiorentino from the same industry, but also a wealthy owner, also a promoted horse, just financially, Numancia is much better than Malaga.

So, compared to the record, Numancia wins, compared to wealth, or Numancia wins. Now, Calces's joke may really be just a joke, but in Arango's opinion, his words only reflect the fact that he is better than the coach and Numancia as well.

Because, the person who Numancia didn't want, became the head coach in Malaga.

Arango glanced at Little Sans, who was currently the youngest chairman in the press room, and who still had a smile on his face.

That's right, last season, everyone was opponents, for the sake of promotion. This season, everyone is still an opponent, for relegation.

At this time, as the officials of the Football Association finished speaking, after a brief introduction of some lottery rules, the press conference entered the lottery stage.

Also for the sake of fairness, the draw was not based on the previous season's ranking, but on the first letter of the club's name.

Leading the way was Almeria's president, Alfonso García, followed by Atletico Madrid's Cerezo......

When all the teams have been drawn, the schedule is clearly displayed on the big screen at the front of the hall, looking at the freshly released La Liga schedule for the new season, Karces, who was still smiling just now, has a green face, Numancia's first-round opponent is Barcelona, but Little Sans can't care about laughing at Carces at this time, because he also saw the opponent in the first round of Malaga:

Atletico Madrid!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Cerezo never dreamed that things would be so dramatic.

After Malaga announced Linson as head coach, Cerezo knew that Atletico Madrid in the new season was destined to have two more slightly special games in addition to the Madrid derby. But he didn't expect that one of these two games would come so quickly.

2008.9.1, La Liga 1st round, Atletico Madrid VS Malaga.

The fixtures on the screen were so conspicuous that they seemed to mock Cerezo's self-righteousness.

Cerezo glanced at the game time of the Madrid derby again, but found that what he thought more about was that Atletico Madrid was going to face Malaga in the first round, which made him feel a little weird, obviously, compared to Real Madrid, Malaga is really not worth mentioning, and the only thing that Cerezo watches Xiàn cares about so much can only be one person: Lin Sen.

"It's really a narrow road."

Cerezo sighed subconsciously in his heart.

It's just that as soon as the words came out, his feeling was even more weird: Enemies? Why did you think of the word enemy?

Lin Sen is the former head coach of Atletico Madrid, yes, but the breakup between the two sides is still a peaceful breakup in the final analysis, there is no dispute, just the contract expires, Lin Sen left by himself, he even retained Lin Sen at that time, no matter how you look at it, this is not to the point of being a rival, but why when the term "rival" appeared, he subconsciously felt that it was natural.

Sensual nature, rational weirdness.

The ambivalent mentality made Cerezo can't help but show a self-deprecating smile.

It seems that last season really lost too much.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On the evening of the same day, the official website of the Spanish Football Federation officially announced the schedule of the 0809 season of La Liga.

Just when hundreds of millions of eyes are focused on the Spanish national derby, many people are aware of the hidden taste of the first round of the new season, such as Atletico Madrid fan Barr, such as independent journalist Rhodes, such as Atletico Madrid's chief physical coach Dina......

For Atletico Madrid's first round encounter with Málaga, Rod's first reaction was to jump, without any exaggeration, and then put his excitement on his face clearly, so that the editor-in-chief of the independent newspaper Karp thought he had won the lottery and almost pulled him to a banquet for the whole newspaper.

"Do you smell a hint of revenge?"

At the bar, as soon as Rod saw Barr, he sat down next to him and said a word, and then shouted at the bartender, "A beer." ”

"I don't know when revenge became so cheap." Barr glanced at Rhodes, sneered, and said, "Do you still think Malaga can win?" ”

"Why can't it be." Rod laughed, and then there was a soft knife, "It's like Atletico has never lost to a relegation team." ”

"Of course, last season's Atletico was a piece of shit." Barr sneered, "But don't forget, no matter how shit Atletico Madrid is, it's not a team like Malaga that can take revenge casually." ”

"Whatever?" Rhodes picked up the beer from the bar, took a sip and said, "I didn't say casual, but don't deny it, the first round of Atletico Madrid vs. Malaga will be a very interesting game." ”

Ballen snorted, and finally stopped answering. Rod didn't dwell on it and asked, "How is Jimmy?" ”

"Discharged." At the mention of his old friend, Barr's stinky face softened.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"It's good luck to meet your old club in the first round of the league." On the other side of the phone, there was a hint of pity in Dina's voice.

"Don't rush to gloat just yet." Lin Sen said a little helplessly, "Anyway, sooner or later, there is not much difference between the first round and the last round." ”

To be honest, Lin Sen didn't expect to meet Atletico Madrid in the first round of the league, and he joked with Tapia before to bet on the opponent in the first round, and Tapia is now mostly secretly glad that he didn't bet with himself, because it was too dramatic. However, now that the schedule has been set, Lin Sen has no intention of wasting time lamenting that fate is so wonderful.

"So open? Are you sure you can defeat Resino? ”

"Huh." Lin Sen smiled and didn't answer Dina's question, but asked rhetorically, "Have you met Resinor?" How does it feel? ”

"To put it simply, a very old-fashioned person. It's boring, it's more fun when you're a manager. ”

"That's a compliment."

"You're welcome." Lin Sen seemed to see Dina waving her hand, and then he heard her say, "So, you must work hard, and I will go to you next year." ”

"You've only been around for a few days, and you're going to betray Recino?" Lin Sen smiled, "Did he provoke you?" ”

"It's not provoking. Hey, are you spying on me? Dina said darkly.

"Eldest sister, you called me, okay?" Lin Sen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hmph. Actually, it doesn't hurt to sue you, it's not a secret anyway, and I don't say that you will know sooner or later. Don't look at how many defensive players the team has introduced, in fact, Recino pays more attention to attack, I can't believe that he was actually a goalkeeper before. ”

More emphasis on offense? This is a good feeling.

Hearing Dina's words, Lin Sen's heart moved.

Atletico Madrid is indeed far better in the front field than in the back field from the cards, Lin Sen thought that after Recino settled in Atletico Madrid, he would notice this obvious problem, but now it seems that he seems to be focusing on the midfield? Spaniards are really full of art in their bones, even the goalkeeper-turned-Resino.

Hanging up the phone, Dina stretched and continued to help the team draw up a pre-season fitness plan, while Linson, on the other side, called Luis Martinez, who was in charge of game analysis.

Dina was not wrong, and even if she didn't, Linson would have known Resino's coaching style, because Recino had previously managed one of Malaga's main opponents for promotion from season - Castellón, who finished fifth.
