Chapter 19: The Summer Window is officially over
Although in the 67th minute of the game, Getafe's starting striker Portillo was sent off by the referee, and the number of matches between Espanyol and Getafe returned to balance again, but until the end of the game, there was no more goal in this game.
In the end, in the first round of the 2018-2019 La Liga season, Espanyol and Getafe finally drew with a score of 2:2.
The managers of both sides expressed their regret for the game at the post-match press conference.
Hu Xuefei said: "Unfortunately, my player Naldo was sent off for a nonsensical action, which led to a situation where we played 10 to 11 people for a period of time, and we can only say that we were very unlucky, and we met the referee who forgot to bring contact lenses when he went out, and it can only be said that Getafe was lucky to meet the life-saving referee today." ”
On the other hand, Getafe coach Jose commented: "In terms of quality, my team is far better than the home team, but a few bright performances by a few players in front of the field gave them the lead, and then we also tried to get two goals back, but unfortunately Lady Luck stood next to the goalkeeper of the home team, and I regret that we couldn't complete the comeback." ”
After completing their views on the game at the press conference, the reporters asked the two managers in unison, "What is your evaluation of the other coach's game?" ”
Hu Xuefei said contemptuously: "It's not because I'm down that Naldo has a chance to equalize?" ”
Jose looked at the reporter who asked the question with contempt and said, "The opposing coach? I'm sorry, I only know their players. ”
The clash between the two managers quickly made sports headlines in the two clubs' locations that day, and the language of reporters made fans look forward to the passionate clash between Hu Xuefei and Jose in the next leg at Getafe's home stadium.
Darhark Stadium, inside Hu Xuefei's office.
Hu Xuefei crossed Erlang's legs, lazily slumped on the sofa, with a lollipop in his mouth, and looked at today's Catalan Sports Newspaper in his hand, and the content of the newspaper was a photo of Hu Xuefei and Getafe head coach Jose at the press conference.
"Hey, reporters just love to make trouble, they just don't like each other, and they were reported by reporters like this, as if I had a feud with him."
Hu Xuefei changed from a paralyzed state to a lying appearance, and his lazy appearance was like a Bao'er who opened his mouth and stretched out his hand.
"If there is no strong news, how can reporters have good material to continue to report?" Qiao Ba, who walked out of the toilet, had a flushed face and a comfortable expression, which made Hu Xuefei speechless and complain.
"Forget it, no matter what they say, whatever these reporters say, how they report, as long as they don't ruin my reputation, affect my daily life, damage my family, harass my relatives, whatever they do." Hu Xuefei doesn't care about the small actions of these reporters, he is not the boss of the reporters, he can't control them, he can only watch them carefully.
"In the last game, Naldo was off the field with two yellow cards, so he will be suspended for one game, and at the same time, the last game got a yellow card for Roca and Semeido, although it is inevitable to get a card, but you can take less and take less, when the time comes, you can talk to them." Chopper picked up the materials on the coffee table in front of the sofa and began today's day's work.
"I know, next time I'll let them move more secretly, smaller." Hu Xuefei pursed his lips, he couldn't deny this matter, the ferocious action in the last game was an order given by Hu Xuefei personally, and the matter of taking cards, as long as the referee's penalty scale is not too weak, this will definitely happen.
Seeing Hu Xuefei's indifferent expression, Chopper knew that Hu Xuefei didn't take this matter to heart, so he didn't say more, anyway, this matter can be big or small, and it would be good for him as an assistant coach to communicate with the players at that time.
'The next league game is Girona on September 1st, the first league day of the transfer window, the last time we discussed the loan option at left-back, all three clubs have already sent announcements, Real Madrid's Sergio is happy to join our team on loan, but Real Madrid want Sergio to get a place in the main team. Chopper moved on to the next topic.
"The main position? Thinking too much, whether it is our scouts or their scouts, it should be clear that with Sergio's current ability, he is not fully qualified for the main position of our Spaniard's left-back, even if he has high potential, but he can't come to the next one. Hu Xuefei resolutely rejected the loan plan.
"Next up is Alberto Rufite, who is the team's third substitute at left-back, and Malaga also wants to clear more salary space for reinforcements, but the player himself seems to be reluctant to come to our team, it seems that he will not have enough experience to come here."
"Qi, in Malaga, the first team is considered a substitute, and the Spaniards who came to us still want to get a good chance to play, they think very beautifully, regardless of him, negotiate with Malaga, whether his players agree or not, plus the buyout treaty, pull him over for me." Hu Xuefei lay on the sofa and commanded Chopper like an uncle.
"Buyout treaty? There is no need to add this, he is not good enough to match our team. Chopper vetoed Hu Xuefei's decision and gave his own answer very firmly.
"You have the final say, I'll talk about it later." Hu Xuefei stuck out his tongue, he just wanted to buy out the treaty because Hu Xuefei felt that the lease contract on the Spanish side would have a buyout clause, Hu Xuefei wanted to catch up with the fashion, so he said it casually, wanting to appear to be following the trend.
Chopper looked at Hu Xuefei speechlessly, and then slowly said the last loan player: "The last one is Jose Cadel from Eibar, there is no problem with the player, he would like to come to our team, but the club only accepts transfer offers." ”
Hu Xuefei 'huh', he remembered this player, his own scout was the first to recommend this player when he didn't sign Rika, and immediately sat up with interest and asked, "Then how much is Eibar's offer?" ”
Chopper: "2 million." ”
Hu Xuefei twisted the stick of the lollipop and let the candy spin around in his mouth, looking very stunned, "2 million, it's not expensive, our transfer fee still has 2 million, it seems." ”
Chopper nodded, "Yes, there is still 2 million, but the chairman said that the winter window will not give us any transfer investment, so this 2 million is our final budget." ”
Hu Xuefei sighed, "Then forget it, let's try our best to achieve Alberto's loan activity, En..... Sergio also sent a letter back to Real Madrid to see if there was any discussion. ”
"Okay, I got it." After Chopper agreed, he reported yesterday's game statistics report to Hu Xuefei, and then appeared on the training ground with Hu Xuefei and started a real day of training with the players.
The team's loan at left wing-back finally reached an agreement with Real Madrid in the final moments of the summer transfer window, and after the Spaniard was fully responsible for Sergio's salary, Hu Xuefei promised Sergio the first place on the bench.
In this way, the final squad of Espanyol for the new season was completely released, and when Yao Jingjing, who knew the football brother, asked Hu Xuefei whether he would continue to carry out transfer activities, Hu Xuefei was sure that there would be no more transfer news about the Spaniard's name.
At this point, Espanyol's new season, the latest lineup, is ready to face Girona away and play at home.
