Chapter 13: Uninvited Guests

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is October 10th, and October 11th is the seventh round of Spain U19, Espanyol U19 against Reus U19.

The Espanyol Under-19s arrived on the pitch on time at 2pm to start their training day.

The sea breeze blows, comes through the gaps in the leaves, and passes by the people who are training hard, and the sun, like a waterfall, goes down vertically, embellished with sweat, and there is silence all around, only the wheezing of the players and the shouts of the coaches.

Everything was as usual, Hu Xuefei stood on the sidelines as usual to supervise the training of the boys, and the boys also worked hard to improve under the guidance of the two coaches, until an uninvited guest came to the field.

Espanyol head coach Enrique Sanchez Flores and his assistant coach Antonio arrived at another Dalhalg Stadium, accompanied by Hu Xuefei's Bole, Mr. Alex.

Hu Xuefei frowned, he didn't know what Flores was doing here, but since Mr. Alex came here, he just wanted to see what good seedlings in the youth team could choose from.

Hu Xuefei hurriedly greeted him, and first greeted Alex: "Mr. Alex, good afternoon." ”

Alex smiled on his face, patted Hu Xuefei on the shoulder, and said: "Good afternoon, Hu, this is the coach of the first team, Flores, you must also know, Enrique, this is our U19 head coach Xue Feihu." Alex introduced the two to each other. Enrique Flores doesn't seem to care much about youth training, and in Hu Xuefei's diary, Flores, who became Espanyol manager in 2016, only came down to watch the youth team play once, let alone appear during youth team training.

Hu Xuefei looked at the Spaniard coach in front of him, his beard was getting grayer, and his sideburns were no longer black. It seems that the Spaniard manager is not good.

Although Hu Xuefei has only been in the past for less than half a month, he will often learn about the situation of Spaniards in La Liga. At present, after 7 rounds of La Liga, Espanyol has 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, among them, in the third round, they lost to their rival Barcelona with a score of 5:0, which put Flores under a lot of pressure.

At present, Espanyol is ranked 14th in the league, and the die-hard fans of good things have begun to boycott Flores personally and socially, hoping that the club can change the manager, although in the 16-17 season, Flores put Espanyol in the middle of the league 8th place, but the fans are still not satisfied, hoping that their favorite team can return to the European competition as soon as possible.

"Hello, Mr. Flores." Hu Xuefei stretched out his hand to shake hands with Flores, in front of his teammates, Hu Xuefei tried his best to make himself look gentleman and more personable.

Flores just nodded slightly, and even in response to Hu Xuefei's greeting, he did not shake hands, but was replaced by the assistant coach next to him.

Hu Xuefei was dissatisfied when he was on board, and his first impression of this head coach was that he was arrogant. Although Flores is not very old and has made a small success in his coaching career, his behavior at this time really made Hu Xue angry.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Alex on the side immediately came over to play haha to ease the atmosphere, "Hu, this time Flores is here for the children of the youth training, and I hope to dig out the blood of the young future in the youth team to supplement the first team."

Why don't you arrange a training match? ”

"Tomorrow is our Under-19 league day and Mr. Flores can come at that time and there will be more to see on the match day."

"In Hu's national dialect, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, if you come today, you can see today's training state, and if you come tomorrow, you can see tomorrow's game status."

Oh, whims. Hu Xuefei laughed in his heart, Flores.

Hu Xuefei looked at his watch, and saw that the young players on the field were absent-minded in training, and their attention was more on Flores than on training.

It's 2:35 a.m., the warm-up session has just passed, and it's not impossible to arrange a training match, even though I don't have a good impression of this Flores and don't want to arrange it.

But it is the wish of every youth player to be promoted to the first team, not to mention that now the head coach of the first team is on the scene, and his performance is excellent, and there is a higher probability of stepping into the first team list. So for them, Hu Xuefei would arrange this training match.

Hu Xuefei turned around and clapped his hands on the absent-minded players on the field, motioning for them to stand in front of him.

As soon as the young men heard the gathering, they immediately ran to Hu Xuefei, and within a few minutes, the U19 players lined up and stood in front of Hu Xuefei and Flores.

Hu Xuefei pointed to Flores beside him and said: "I think this gentleman next to me, everyone knows who it is, yes, he is the head coach of our first team, Mr. Enrique Flores."

Today, we're going to have an internal training match to show our Mr. Flores the results of our Under-19 training. ”

As soon as the youngsters heard that there would be an intra-squad training match, they immediately verified their conjectures about the intention of the first-team manager to come here. As soon as they landed, there were whispers in the team, and everyone was looking forward to the training match that was waiting for the meeting, intending to impress Flores with the best form.

Alex wanted Flores to say a few words, but Hu Xuefei didn't give him Flores this opportunity, and Flores's words were still in his throat, so he was interrupted by Hu Xuefei: "Okay, Mr. Alex, time waits for no one, let the boys prepare first, anyway, Mr. Flores will have time to chat with them in the future." ”

After Hu Xuefei dismissed the team and assigned the command of the two coaches, he ignored Alex and Flores, said hello and left.

"Mr. Alex, this U19 head coach seems to be very rude." Obviously, Hu Xuefei's interruption of Flores just now made Flores very annoyed. "Hey, Enrique, don't be angry, Hu is just not sociable, don't take it personally."

"Hmph," Flores snorted heavily, and said no more.

The U19 team training match was divided into blue and white teams for Hu Xuefei, both teams have the usual starting players of the U19 league, and the strength of the two teams can be said to be very balanced.

The conductor of the training match, Hu Xuefei was assigned to two coaches, Hu Xuefei was too lazy to command, he happened to have two coaches, and with a wave of his hand, he became a shopkeeper.

The 45-minute intra-team training match passed quickly, and although Hu Xuefei was a hands-off shopkeeper, he was also watching the game. Lozano and Gomez are in really good form, with each of them taking on the attacking tasks of both teams. Gomes was in charge of the attack, scoring two goals for the blue team in the 45-minute training match. And Lozano, as the midfield commander of the white team, threaded the needle, passed and shot, and also participated in the two-goal attack of the white team.

The training match ended with the white team winning the match 3-2.

After the game, Hu Xuefei asked the players to rest for a while before starting today's tactical video lesson.

After Hu Xuefei finished arranging, he went to look for Alex and Flores, but found that the three of them had long since disappeared. "What kind of attitude does this Nima's Flores have, I really think I am superior, it's just that my position is higher than me, and I don't necessarily have better ability than me, it's really inexplicably angry."

Hu Xuefei was angry on the sidelines, just as Horion passed by. "Hu, I heard you complaining about the head coach of the first team, I don't want to be reported by me, invite me to dinner today." Horion laughed, a look of underachievement.

"Hmmm! Horion, you're trying to tell Ida that you snuck out for a drink yesterday? ”

"I don't, it's not me, it can't be." Horion panicked, not understanding how Hu Xuefei could find out about his sneaking out of the bar yesterday.

"Hey, hey, look at your performance at night, there seems to be a Chinese restaurant at the Arc de Triomphe, which has a good evaluation, but it's a little expensive, and when you save enough money in the future, you really want to go once."

"I was wrong, Hu, you can spare me."
