Ludong, the provincial capital.

During this time, the Saturday days in Quancheng went according to schedule.

It is still two exercises a day, and the amount of training is still not small, with physical fitness and physical fitness training in the morning, and individual special ability improvement and team technical and tactical drills in the afternoon.

On the weekend, I made an appointment for a teaching game. It's just that with the growing prestige of Quancheng Saturday, the warm-up opponents are becoming more and more difficult to date, because slowly everyone knows that this team is ruthless, slaughtering every scene, and showing no mercy at all.

"A bunch of wolf cubs! Still the kind that has been hungry for days! This is the Ludong amateur football circle's comment on Quancheng Saturday.

In addition to that, the rest of the time, the team has been paying attention to the information and dynamics of the Magic City Sanjin team.

This time, Quancheng on Saturday was no longer a two-eyed encounter, but took advantage of the information asymmetry of "the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark".

After all, the three golds of the magic capital are the professional teams of the Chinese League, and all kinds of information, dynamics, and information can be found on the Internet, not to mention the game videos and videos over the years, and the technical and tactical playing styles and advantages and disadvantages have been thoroughly touched.

Moreover, in recent times, the three gold teams of the magic capital have been quite unstable, and it is another salary arrears scandal, and the transfer has been blocked, and all kinds of negative news have been stirred up, which has become a hot spot of media attention. Every day, a large amount of information is exposed, and all kinds of peaks and loops turn around, like suspense dramas, which makes people dizzying and dazzling.

First of all, the Demon Capital Sanjin League lost seven consecutive games, ranking first from the bottom of the Central League, and almost booked a relegation place in advance.

Immediately after the unpaid salary scandal broke out, the team members said that they had not received training allowances and competition bonuses since last year, and this year they have not been paid basic living expenses for several months.

Subsequently, there were rumors that the players threatened to strike the game in order to defend their rights.

But immediately, the club's management held a media briefing, claiming that the club does not have salary arrears, and the reason why the funds have not yet arrived in individual months is entirely because of the financial approval process, hoping that all sectors of society will not believe rumors and give the club a relaxed operating and training environment, and the club reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for rumors and defamation......

Next, there are reports that the club and the players have reached an understanding and paid back the salary arrears for a period of time, and the players are currently in a stable mood and high morale.

However, there is a roadside social grapevine that the repaid arrears were paid by head coach Zhu Tong personally, and he had just sold a property at a low price to raise funds. And it doesn't seem like the first time he's personally paid a player's salary.

After that, things were even more exciting.

The three gold teams of the magic capital who got the salary broke out with strong combat effectiveness, the three military lives, morale like a rainbow, actually won a wave of three consecutive wins in the league, and the fourth game faced the leader of the Chinese League, and also played very tenacious, 1:1 away to draw the opponent.

A four-game unbeaten run has also moved them to second-to-last place in the league and while they are still not out of the relegation zone, they are already seeing the light of day.

But the day after the draw, the team suddenly issued an announcement that it fired coach Zhu Tong on the grounds of poor results and signed with a British coaching team instead.

And the first game of the British team in charge is the midweek FA Cup, home to Spring City Saturday!

This wave of divine operations surprised all the people who eat melons.

I didn't change the coach when I lost before, but now I finally see some hope, and I actually changed the coach! Isn't it that the relatives are bitter and the enemies are fast! The management's miraculous operation made the media exclaim, which was comparable to "Zhao Gou sent twelve gold medals in a row and transferred back to Yue Fei".

In fact, the heart of the club's management is also bitter! Originally, it was all negotiated here, just waiting for the team to lose, and then logically announced the change of coach, who Cheng thought that the team actually ate the life-sustaining pill and came back to life all of a sudden!

However, you can't keep dragging it out without changing the coach, the contract has been initialed. The foreigner threatened that if they didn't make an official announcement, they would sue FIFA and hold the club responsible.

There was no way, I finally waited for a draw, and I found an excuse that was not an excuse, so that Zhu Tong left after class.

Fortunately, Zhu Tong is a humble gentleman who fulfilled his promise, not only stood on the last shift, but also left as soon as he said he would, broke up peacefully with the club, and did not spit out any evil words.

The club issued an announcement to the public, saying, "At present, the team is running smoothly, and the players are actively training to prepare for the next FA Cup matches!" ”

But the reality is that the team has already blown up and broken up!

Inside the club's office building.

The long corridor was already crowded with players and regular club staff. Their faces were filled with doubt, helplessness, unwillingness, and endless anger.

"Why do you want to let Director Zhu get out of class!"

"Now that the team is gaining momentum, why change the manager!"

"The club is tossing around, does it have to be relegated to be comfortable?"

"We don't want foreigners, we just need Zhu's guidance!"

……

At the front of the crowd, Zhou Tao, Da Liu, and Xiao Hou were the most excited, hammering the door of the general manager's office.

"The surname is Xu, you come out for me! Make it clear! Why you should do it! Zhou Tao roared angrily while smashing.

"You silverfish, fucking don't do anything all day! What has the team been tossed into in the past few years! ”

"In the first two years, the team was still playing in the Chinese Super League, and now you are ruined, and you are about to be relegated in the first division!

Is this the responsibility of the coach? Coach Zhu was able to bring us to the middle and upper reaches of the Chinese Super League before, and his level is there, is the current situation his responsibility?

The club does not pay salaries, can the team have combat effectiveness? Internal management is a pot of porridge, the finances are not disclosed, and the management is full of private pockets, should these pots be thrown to Director Zhu to carry? ”

The more Zhou Tao scolded, the more angry he became, and the words he said became more and more unpleasant.

"Bastards, such a good team. I'll let you spoil it!

There's a good guy in the team, you don't like it, don't you?

Isn't it because you are deliberately driving away Director Zhu that he is not in the same league as you, stands with us, and protects our interests?

Today, if you don't give an explanation, don't think about walking out of this door one by one! ”

His words were like hot oil poured into a blazing fire, making the already raging anger of the people burn even more fiercely.

The crowd was indignant, and the voices of protest and scolding were boiling.

In a fit of rage, Zhou Tao suddenly flew up and kicked the door of the manager's room.

Although the solid wood door is sturdy, how can it withstand the mobilization of professional football, and the leg full of anger was kicked open.

In the room, the man with glasses in a suit and leather shoes has long lost his former calmness, his meticulous hairstyle looks messy because of sweating profusely, and the style button of his shirt has also been torn off, like a deserter who has lost a battle.

At this moment, he was anxiously on the phone, and he didn't know whether to call the police or move the rescuers.

"Bastard!" Zhou Tao roared angrily, and a man with glasses rushed to the man with glasses, grabbed the other party's collar, and raised his fist high.

"Stop!"

A burst of harmony suddenly sounded behind Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao turned around in surprise, but saw Zhu Tong squeezing through the crowd at some point and coming behind him.

But from his panting appearance, it was clear at a glance that he did not delay for a moment after learning the news, and rushed over as fast as he could.

"What are you making a fuss about! The team has finally just improved a little, and when you see the hope of relegation, are you here to make trouble?

The team was relegated by you, who suffered? Isn't it yourselves?

The most valuable thing for the team now is the shell of the Chinese League! Once downgraded, will anyone still come to take over? If the equity transfer cannot be carried out and the assets are insolvent, the club can only go bankrupt and dissolve!

The team is down, what are you going to do! ”

"But......" someone wanted to argue.

"Nothing! The team is in a bad situation, everyone is to blame, and all the blame cannot be placed on the management!

You are in a hurry, there may be some excesses, I believe that the management will also understand, and I am not to blame for this incident! ”

As he spoke, he set his gaze on the man with glasses.

The man with glasses still has half a minute of his usual majesty, and nodded busily, "Yes, yes, I am not to blame in the past, I am not to blame in the past!" ”

"You all go back to me now, you should train and train, you should work, do your own things well, and don't worry about the rest! Come on! Zhu Tong urged loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, someone moved their steps and walked out, and then more and more people lowered their heads and left slowly in silence.

In the end, only the glasses man was left in the room, Zhu Tong, Zhou Tao, Da Liu and a few other core players.

"What are you still doing? Let's go! Zhu Tong roared again.

"Brother!" Suddenly, Zhou Tao cried, and this man who was five big and three thick, known for his strong physique, burst into tears like a child.

"I'm not convinced! Why?

Why do they do this to you!

You have done so much for the team and they have done this to you! Even now you speak for them! I feel uncomfortable and panicked! ”

The other players also had red circles in their eyes, and some of them began to sob.

Zhu Tong's face froze, and he didn't reprimand Zhou Tao and the others again, but patted him on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't cry! Like a girl, you are the captain and the big brother of the team, what will others think when they see you like this!

How can the world be as good as it should be, but please be worthy of my heart!

No matter where I am in the future and who will lead the team in the future, my feelings for the team and all of you will not change!

I'm not the head coach anymore, but I'll always be a big fan of the three golds. I will cheer for you from the stands!

Like a man, keep your chest up and kick well! Don't let me down, a loyal fan! ”

Zhou Tao is also a straightforward man, no longer hypocritical, he wiped his face with his big hand and squeezed out a smile.

"Brother, I listen to you! No matter where you are, you will always be my big brother! ”

Then he said to his teammates in the house, "Brothers! We can't let Big Brother down! Play hard, the qualification for this year's Chinese League, our team is guaranteed! Let's go, train to go! ”

"Training go!"

"This year's relegation is guaranteed!"

Everyone is a cool man, just go, just do it! He left the office with his head held high and strode towards the training ground.

After a while, the office was empty, and only Zhu Tong and the man with glasses remained.

The man with glasses was quite embarrassed to tidy up the collar that had been pulled and deformed, and said to Zhu Tong gratefully, "Director Zhu, thank you for ......"

Zhu Tong frowned, sighed and said, "I understand the cruelty of professional football!" But these lads are too young and too presumptuous, and I fear that this may not be the end of the story. ”

"What do you mean?" The man with glasses was taken aback. Hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling. Those bunnies won't give up so easily, maybe they'll make some trouble. They said there would be relegation from the league and I believed them, but the FA Cup in two days ......

Zhu Tong didn't say any more, his brows tightened, and his resolute face was full of worry.
