Stepping into August, Espanyol began their new year's La Liga campaign, and Hu Xuefei also ushered in his first league match day.

After the three warm-up matches, the time came on August 26, and the new season of the 2018-2019 La Liga officially started.

On 25 August, after the media's daily pre-match tour, the pre-match press conference between Espanyol and Getafe began. Although the media reporters knew a little about Hu Xuefei at the press conference when Hu Xuefei announced his appointment, most of the reporters and media did not know Hu Xuefei very well, so when Hu Xuefei sat in the seat of the pre-match press conference for the first time, a reporter immediately asked.

"May I ask the manager of Espanyol, Mr. Xue Feihu, what is the secret of becoming the first team manager of a top club at such a young age?"

Hu Xuefei waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Today is the pre-match press conference of the La Liga between Espanyol and Getafe, ask some questions about the game. ”

Hu Xuefei refused to ask the question just now, which made the reporter sit down very depressed.

"At the Getafe press conference just now, Getafe head coach José Poldalas commented that your transfer activities during the transfer period were only to strengthen the position, not to strengthen the squad, what do you think?" Another reporter stood up.

"I can't deny the words of the opposing head coach, but to strengthen the position, he is right, our team is indeed short of manpower in the center position, but whether to strengthen the lineup, you can see this in the game." Hu Xuefei responded with a smile.

Having received his own answer, the reporter sat down.

"Okay, next, then the ABC reporter, Mr. Jimenez." The press officer shouted along with one of the reporters with the highest raised hand.

Well? "ABC"? Isn't it the one before?

Hu Xuefei naturally remembered the conflict between himself and the "ABC" reporter, and the press conference at that time refused to allow the reporter to enter the press conference about Hu Xuefei in the future.

Hu Xuefei looked at the reporter who stood up, not the reporter last time. Hu Xuefei shook his head in disappointment, he thought there was a reason to leave the field early, he was a little tired of this pre-match press conference now, and it seemed that it would be necessary to let Chopper hold the press conference instead of him in the future.

"Mr. Xue Feihu, there is news that the Spaniard is interested in bringing in Oscar from Shanghai SIPG, and Oscar himself has expressed his intention to return to the European arena, I don't know what you think?"

"Oh, Oscar, it depends on the situation, the transfer window is not over yet, let's see." Hu Xuefei thought about it, when there was a lack of Dadel in the midfield, Hu Xuefei had considered Oscar, but when he asked for a transfer fee starting at 20 million euros, Hu Xuefei was stunned all of a sudden.

Then the reporters asked some irrelevant questions, and the press conference ended, Hu Xuefei exhaled heavily, lay down on the chair relaxed, and did not leave the scene for the first time.

Diego Lopez, who was on the side, saw that his head coach hadn't gotten up yet, pulled Hu Xuefei's sleeve and said, "Coach, the press conference is over, it's time to go." ”

In the next game against Getafe, Hu Xuefei decided to let Rosales start at right-back, so the captain of the field will be goalkeeper Diego Lopez, which is why Diego and Hu Xuefei appeared on the scene together.

"Eh, okay, I'll get up, um, just help me find Chopper, I'll find him for something."

Diego Lopez said suspiciously: "Mr. Chopper has something at home, so he went home first, didn't you approve it, coach?" ”

Hu Xuefei patted his head, he actually forgot that his assistant coach Chopper went home early, ouch, I originally wanted to discuss tomorrow's arrangements with him and discuss whether the press conference in the future can replace his own affairs. It seems that it is not possible today.

"Forget it, let's go." Hu Xuefei and Lopez left the press conference side by side.

Nothing was said all night

As the Espanyol bus slowly pulled into the Cornella El Prat Stadium, a large number of Espanyol fans gathered around the area to cheer on their home team.

Hu Xuefei is the first time to experience this kind of scene, although Espanyol is not a big club like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the largest fan base in the world, but at this moment, there are still hundreds of people around the bus.

Hu Xuefei has never seen this kind of scene, when Hu Xuefei was the first to get off the bus, a huge scream broke out around him, Hu Xuefei was even stunned for a few seconds, and his head was blank.

Chopper behind him tapped Hu Xuefei's shoulder, and while waking Hu Xuefei up, he also smiled: "My head coach, you will get used to this kind of scene in the future." ”

Hu Xuefei is also embarrassed, appearing in front of his own fans as the head coach is a picture of entering the Grand View Garden, which is really embarrassing.

Along with this cheer, Hu Xuefei also smiled and greeted.

And when the players behind him got out of the car, Hu Xuefei realized that his cheers just now were nothing short of nothing.

At the very least, the cheers and screams that were twice as loud as they were almost going to burst Hu Xuefei's eardrums. Hu Xuefei plucked out his ears, making his head, which was a little dizzy by the sound wave, feel better.

"Ouch, this welcome ceremony is a bit violent, and those who don't have any physical fitness will be stunned!" Hu Xuefei sighed again and again in his heart, he really couldn't stand this crazy shout, Lao Hu hurriedly grabbed two steps and left.

In the locker room, only Hu Xuefei's coaching team is now in the huge area, while physical coach Tertres warmed up with the players selected for today's Espanyol 18-man squad.

"The 2018-2019 La Liga season is a big start to the new season, and we welcome everyone to the Cornella El Prat Stadium, the home stadium of Espanyol, which is played at home against Espanyol from afar."

"A new season, a new look, we Spaniards have our new head coach after the painful experience of last season, Mr. Xuefeihu from the Far East.

Fans who are familiar with Mr. Xue Fei Hu know that it was the U19 head coach of our club in recent years, after Flores was sacked by the club because of his team performance, Hu was promoted to the head coach of our first team, this is Hu's first game, whether he can bring Espanyol a good start to the new season and give his head coach career a good start, we look forward to it!! ”

It wasn't long before the start of the game, and the stadium's on-site commentators had already begun to warm up the entire stadium first. Espanyol's on-site commentator - Hummels Torres, comes from a family that has been a fan of Espanyol for three generations, he has loved Espanyol since he was a child, and his greatest wish is to be able to enter Espanyol club, he is not qualified to become a player or coach, and finally on another road, he achieved his wish.

He became a live commentator, and sat for 10 years, starting in 2008, he accompanied the Spaniards in the slump for ten years, but still did not leave, he still sat in the position of the commentator, looking forward to the day when the Spaniards will show their glory again in 07.

The cheers of the stadium and the atmosphere of the commentators set off a little, and Hu Xuefei could faintly hear a little. If it were in U19, Hu Xuefei would have jumped up happily if he could get so many cheers, but not now, the U19 Spaniards are outstanding, and the first team has no room for Hu Xuefei to cheer happily.

Getafe, the transfer activity this summer is simply outrageous. In addition to the 14 players who returned on loan and free transfers, he also bought Ignacy Mikel for 5 million in Malaga, yes, Málaga, a 25-year-old left centre-back. Subsequently, Maksimovic was brought in from Valencia for 5 million, a midfielder midfielder.

Finally, Ivan Alejo and David Soria were purchased in Eibar and Sevilla respectively for 4 million and 3 million as reinforcements for the forward midfielder and goalkeeper.

Getafe made a small fuss about his own transfer actions, and unknowingly, he also spent almost 18 million euros in transfer fees, but there were also a lot of transfers, so I won't talk about it here.

Hu Xuefei did not study the players introduced by Getafe, but only used the warm-up matches of this season and the video of last season's games as research materials.

The conclusion was to strengthen the bench and not make a big rotation of last season's main lineup.

"Last season, Getafe finished 8th as a promoted horse, which can be said to be inseparable from their coach Jose's defensive adjustment, the goalkeeper and the back line have been the configuration of Getafe for many years, so the tacit understanding is good, which is not good news for us." Chopper said worriedly.

In this game, Hu Xuefei formed a trio of Piatti, Pérez and Iglesias in the frontcourt, and midfielder Roca partnered Dadel to comb the midfield, and finally configured a Semedo as the last barrier in front of the backline.

Needless to say, the degree of tacit understanding between the three in the front court is naturally needless to say, Iglesias has just come to the team, and it is simply whimsical to want to form a tacit understanding with the other two in just a few dozen days.

And Roca and Dadel are a pair that Hu Xuefei has performed relatively well in these warm-up games.

This time, facing Getafe, who have a better level of tacit understanding and a more mature defensive formation, Chopper expressed his concerns.

Hu Xuefei pretended to be relaxed and said to Chopper: "It's okay, in terms of strength, our frontcourt trio is completely better than them, although they are well-trained, but the court is changing rapidly, no one can say, everything depends on the situation." ”

This is the first game of the new season, Hu Xuefei naturally sent the strongest candidates in the front court of his team, all three of them have more than 140 abilities, and in terms of personal ability, they can completely break through the defense line with Getafe.

At this time, the players all stepped on the field to warm up and came back.

Hu Xuefei cleared his throat as usual, and after attracting everyone's attention, he began his pre-game speech, and in order to strengthen the team's morale, Hu Xuefei also used 10cp in the system to buy a morale bonus, and this first game, Hu Xuefei wanted to win it happily.

"This is our first game, a new season, a new journey, I hope everyone remembers our goal, remembers the fans who came today, and use your best form to show a perfect game to start the new season for yourself!"

"Coax, good!!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Chopper didn't expect Hu Xuefei to be able to raise everyone's emotions in just one sentence, is it the legendary personal charm? Chopper was puzzled and finally had to come to this conclusion.

Hu Xuefei knew the boring thoughts of his assistant coach, and after emphasizing the tactics again with his players, he walked to the locker room as he usually did in the U19s, shook hands and hugged and encouraged every player who walked out.

This is his first match and the first match of the new season for Espanyol, and Hu Xuefei wants to win.
