MTL - Fox in the Penalty Area-Chapter 238 "He's out of date"

The latest website: Hong Renjie stood at the entrance of the restaurant, and every Chinese team player who came to have breakfast had to say hello to him:

"Hello, Captain Hong!"

"Good morning, Team Leader Hong!"

"Has Team Leader Hong eaten?"

…

He smiled back one by one:

"Okay, okay."

"Good morning, Xiao Guo!"

"I ate it, breakfast was good today. Master Fan specially made the first breakfast for you guys! After eating it, I feel stronger and in better condition! Hahaha!"

…

Yu Jintao, who also came to have breakfast, just got off the elevator, and before he saw anyone, he heard Hong Renjie's hearty laughter coming from the direction of the restaurant.

When he reached the door of the restaurant, he saw Hong Renjie high-fiving Zhou Zijing, then patted his shoulder, and pushed him into the restaurant.

"What makes you so happy, Lao Hong?" Yu Jintao asked curiously.

"I'm here to see them, all of them are very energetic." Hong Renjie turned his head to look at the Chinese team players in the restaurant and said. "Looks like they had a good night's sleep last night."

"What does that say?"

"Of course." Hong Renjie said, "In the first match of the World Cup four years ago, I also stood at the door of the restaurant to see if they had slept well. You can still see the dark circles of some players, but today... all of them No."

Yu Jintao suddenly said: "Everyone's mentality has changed for the better."

"Yes..." Hong Renjie said with emotion. "Four years ago, I watched the game the day before the game, and I watched the Korean team's game. The Korean team still lost. And that time, South Korea's loss was not as bad as this time, but the result really scared everyone. After all It was not easy for us to win the Korean team once in Asia, but such a strong opponent made the United States, which is not particularly strong, have no power to fight back in the World Cup..."

Yu Jintao nodded to express his understanding: "You are worried that they will not sleep well, so you check one by one at the entrance of the restaurant the next day?"

"It wasn't a very deliberate inspection. I was also afraid that doing so would make them more psychologically stressed. I just watched secretly, using an excuse to say hello to them, and watched them one by one. Every time I looked at them, I recorded their status in a small notebook. "

After listening to Hong Renjie's words, Yu Jintao tilted his head, wanting to see what the little book in the leader's mouth looked like.

Hong Renjie noticed his movement, and said with a smile: "Don't look for it, I didn't prepare a small book this time. In fact, I had a premonition before that they should be different this time from four years ago. After all, the atmosphere in the usual training is always the same. It was all fun, without all kinds of conflicts and accidents caused by tension."

"Hu Lai has to remember the merits." Yu Jintao said.

"It's not just him. The others are also doing very well, especially those who have participated in the World Cup once. After all, they have seen the world and know what the World Cup is like. If you know it, you will not be afraid. Look at me It’s much calmer this time.”

Yu Jintao nodded: "Understood, Lao Hong, you have made such a big circle just to show off in front of me that this is your second time participating in the World Cup."

Hong Renjie laughed out loud, even attracting the attention of the international players in the restaurant.

"Let's go eat, Lao Yu. Today's breakfast is really good. Master Fan and his apprentices have tried their best. They usually emphasize balanced nutrition. Today, Dillon specifically said in advance that you can give People do what they want to eat."

"Okay." Yu Jintao agreed and asked before leaving, "Master Fan and the others are also participating in the World Cup for the second time?"

"Yes, the same as me." Hong Renjie said with a smile.

Yu Jintao gave a thumbs up: "Eating well is also very important. Eating well is also fighting power."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Yu Jintao bid farewell to Hong Renjie, who was like a janitor, and walked into the restaurant. He saw the "royal chef" Fan Fushun who had been with the Chinese team for many years, wearing a red chef's top hat, busy behind the kitchen counter.

Several of his apprentices are scattered around, and they are also busy, division of labor and cooperation, busy but not chaotic,

Everything is in order.

Someone is pulling the dough in their hands into silver-like noodles, someone is frying eggs in front of the iron plate, and someone is taking the steamer off the stove, and the moment the steamer cover is lifted, white water vapor gushes out, covering the kitchen. They are all rendered like a heavenly palace, and the white and tender buns in the steamer are transformed into "pan peaches" that can prolong life.

The complex fragrance spreads out from the center of the console. Refreshing, soothing stomach.

Seeing Yu Jintao coming, Fan Fushun, who was already busy, greeted with a friendly smile on his chubby face: "Teacher Yu is here? What do you want to eat? There are noodles and noodles, tofu brain, sweet and salty, you can order whatever you want!" Steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, jujube cakes, any dessert is fine..."

Yu Jintao shook his head: "Give me a bowl of beef ramen."

"Okay!" Master Fan agreed very crisply, then turned his head and ordered to the noodle cooking table next to him: "Ah Kuan, give us a bowl of noodles for Teacher Yu!"

"No problem!" Apprentice Kuan pulled a piece of dough from the chopping board and said to Jin Tao, "Teacher Yu, wait a moment, I'll pull it for you now!"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Jintao stood beside him with a smile on his face, watching Ah Kuan's hands flying, as if by magic, gradually tearing a piece of dough into countless noodles.

While waiting, two more players from the Chinese team came, Mao Junzheng and Lin Zhiyuan.

One is for fried eggs, and the other is for fried rice noodles.

In order not to let the players eat cold, the eggs had to be fried fresh, so both of them waited beside them.

Then chat with the chef and Yu Jintao.

"What does Teacher Yu eat?" Mao Junzheng asked.

"Ramen." Yu Jintao replied, then looked at the food on the plate in his hand, and asked, "Is this all you eat?"

"What, he's in the second set!" Lin Zhiyuan pointed at Mao Junzheng and laughed.

Mao Junzheng fought back with a smile: "You still have the nerve to talk about me, you have eaten a lot of shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings before!"

Lin Zhiyuan had a hippie smile: "It's rare that Master Fan and the others can lift the seal today, we can't let down Master Fan and their craftsmanship, can't we try everything?"

When Fan Fushun heard Lin Zhiyuan's words, his smiling eyes almost disappeared, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Xiao Lin is right. After eating our meal, we will ensure that everyone will have strength and energy all day long, and play Spain well at night. Avenge Old Di!"

Yesterday, the famous Spanish media "Mundo Deportivo" suddenly reported a "secret" on the Internet, which was about the "insider story" about Jorge Dillon's failure to coach the Spanish national team:

After the 2018 World Cup, the contract of the head coach Jimmy Rowi, who led the Spanish team to the quarter-finals, expired.

The two sides had already discussed before the World Cup, no matter what the final result is, they will not renew the contract. Because Royvi had decided to sign with the King of Madrid at that time-of course he didn't say it, so the Spanish Football Association didn't know, only that Royvi would not continue to coach the Spanish national team.

So the Spanish Football Association is looking for a new coach for the national team.

At that time, Jorge Dillon, who was still coaching the Serie A giants Torino Bulls, was a popular candidate for the coach of the Spanish national team.

After all, he just led the Turin Bulls to the Champions League championship two seasons ago. This is the second Champions League championship he has won in his coaching career, which is quite glorious.

It stands to reason that he is willing to take over the Spanish national team, which should be the dream of the Spanish Football Association.

Dillon has also publicly stated many times that being able to coach the Spanish national team to win the World Cup is the highest pursuit of his career. Dillon, who was fifty-eight years old at the time, even hinted that coaching the Spanish national team may be the last stop of his coaching career.

But in the end it turned out that the Spanish Football Federation chose fifty-year-old Keili Borja.

Borja was indeed one of the candidates at the time, but compared with the popular Dillon, Borja's reputation and resume are actually worse.

For example, he has no experience leading a team to win the Champions League.

His only advantage is that he has coached five different La Liga teams, against most players in Spain

are more familiar.

Compared with Dillon, Borja is like a commoner in the coach, and Dillon is the aristocratic elite.

There has been much speculation as to why Dillon did not succeed in being elected as Spain's national team coach.

It was a big deal in European football at the time.

Dillon expressed doubts and incomprehension after losing the election, and also bombarded the Spanish Football Association for this.

However, the Spanish Football Association did not announce various reasons, allowing various rumors on the Internet and the media to fly everywhere.

During this period, every time Borja led the team's performance to fluctuate, everyone would dig out the grievances between Dillon and the Spanish Football Association and re-hype it. For example, in the 2020 European Cup, when the Spanish national team he coached was eliminated in the quarter-finals...

Until the 2022 World Cup, Borja, who was not optimistic before the game, led his team to the World Cup finals, although he eventually lost to the Italian team led by Caesar and finished second.

All talk of his unsuitability to manage the star-studded Spanish national team has been muted.

After that, no one ever brought Dillon out to mock Borja.

Add to this Dillon's underwhelming coaching record following his success with the Torino Bulls:

After he led the team to win the Serie A championship and the Coppa Italia championship in the 2019-2020 season, the second season started with a five-game losing streak, and was finally fired by the Turin Bulls before the winter break.

Later, Jorge Dillon moved to three teams, but failed to succeed.

The last time he coached in Europe was the 2021-2022 season.

When the former national team coach rival Keili Borja led the Spanish national team to the World Cup final in Qatar in the winter of 2022, he was fired by the club again during the winter break.

Unwilling, he quickly signed with Getafe 1326, ready to help the team avoid relegation. And Getafe 1326 was the first team he started his coaching career that year, and it can be regarded as returning to his roots.

When he signed with Getafe 1326, the club vigorously promoted it. What "Legend Comes Home", what "Where Dreams Begin"...

In short, how touching and touching.

As a result, who would have thought that just one month later, Getafe 1326 fired Dillon.

It turns out that the touching fairy tale is only valid for one month.

Dillon's dismissal is said to be due to a tense relationship between him and Agudo Morant, the general manager of the Getafe 1326 club at the time. Dillon clashed with Morant when he demanded monopoly after becoming the team's head coach.

After the dismissal, the two parties also went to court over the issue of compensation, which was very unpleasant.

The past love is also gone.

The touching publicity a month ago looks quite ironic...

And because Morant was the one who decided to sign Dillon and give him a chance to make a comeback, the later disputes between Dillon and Morant, coupled with the matter of taking his old club to court, will also make Dillon Long's popularity in Europe has been ruined.

At that time, the Spanish media was full of black material about Dillon, regardless of whether it was true or not.

The former European marshal has been reduced to a "clown" that everyone shouts and beats and everyone can laugh at.

After getting out of class from Getafe 1326 in February 2023, Dillon has been at home all the time. No team asked him to coach, and even the TV station dared not ask him to be a commentator.

It looks like his career is over.

Until April 2024, a club from China sent an email to his agent, asking if the famous coach Jorge Dillon was interested in coaching in China.

Dillon, who had disappeared from the public eye for more than a year, reappeared.

But in fact, for European football, he is no different from continuing to disappear-no one would think that going to China to coach is still the center stage of world football. a head coach

Going to coach there is no different than a player going to play in the Middle East league: make a fortune at the end and then retire.

The Spanish media just took advantage of this incident to take advantage of Dillon's enthusiasm.

"World Sports Daily" ridiculed that Dillon may have spent all his savings during the year at home, and urgently needs to find someone who is stupid and rich to take advantage of him to pay his pension.

"A professional team in China has found the most 'suitable' head coach for them. Although Dillon is hard to gain a foothold in European football, he can still be like a **** in the distant football desert of China. People, after all, the people there have never seen the world, they may still have braids, ha... The salary that the Chinese club offered him was staggering. It is said that when Dillon heard the figures reported by his agent, he The first reaction was not to agree or refuse, but to ask back: "Are the Chinese crazy? I don't know if the Chinese are crazy or not, but I think China may have just erected the telephone line... hahahaha!"

Then Dillon once again disappeared from the mainstream view of European football.

When Dillon fell down, Borja, who was used to set off him in the past, reached the pinnacle of his coaching career.

He led the Spanish national team to win the 2026 World Cup.

At this time, not many people even mentioned the past competition between him and Dillon...

Later, Dillon appeared again in European media reports, and he became the head coach of the Chinese team.

This is because of Hu Lai's performance, which made European football interested in Chinese football.

It was "World Sports News" who jumped out again-this Barcelona media had a deep hatred with Dillon because of the past when he coached the King of Madrid-they reported the news that Dillon coached the Chinese team with sarcasm:

"Congratulations to Jorge Dillon, he finally realized his life's biggest wish - to become the head coach of a national team. What made Dillon agree to coach the Chinese team? Maybe it's because the home jerseys of the Chinese team and the Spanish team are different. It's red..."

And yesterday, "World Sports Daily" made an important revelation. They disclosed in the report why the Spanish Football Association did not choose Jorge Dillon.

And it's not a text report of "a picture at the beginning, the content is all edited".

In the recording, Zenitalia said:

“…Yeah, we didn’t consider Dillon, partly because of his character. You know, he’s going to be controversial everywhere he goes, in the Kings, in the Bulls...yes, he has a fighting spirit. But football is not all about fighting spirit... on the other hand, and probably the most important reason, is that we think his understanding of modern football trends is out of date... yes, let me just say it, his way is outdated Well, he was able to win the Champions League with the Bulls, but he relied on Caesar’s super personal ability. The Turin Bulls, to be honest...anyone can win the championship. Sorry, I just said it so directly.”

At this time, another person in the call recording asked: "Did you tell Dillon this?"

Zenitalia laughed. "Oh no, no. We don't want to drag ourselves into trouble."

The other party also laughed together.

The phone recording ended with the laughter of the two people.

In addition to the World Cup, this incident was the most explosive news in Spanish football yesterday.

Although everyone is no longer complaining about why Dillon was not elected as the head coach of the national team, in the past twelve years, some people have analyzed the real reason why Dillon was not coached by the national team.

But this is the first time that those rumors have been officially acknowledged: 1. Dillon's troublesome personality; 2. He has been unable to keep up with the development trend of modern football.

And what he said was very rude, and even a little bit of personal insult.

After "Mundo Deportivo" exposed the recording of the phone call, current Spanish Football Federation President Manuel Zenitalia said he would consider suing "Mundo Deportivo".

Sports Daily, which leaked recordings of his private calls without permission.

He just sued the Barcelona media for leaking his phone recordings, instead of suing "Mundo Deportivo" for fabricating rumors... This is very intriguing.

In fact, if Jorge Dillon coaches the Spanish national team, whether his performance will be better than Borja's has already been determined.

Keili Borja led the Spanish national team to win a World Cup runner-up and a championship. Such achievements can be ranked in the top five in the entire history of world football.

So it is impossible for Dillon to do better than Borja anyway.

From this point of view, it was extremely correct for the Spanish Football Association to abandon Dillon and choose Borja, which just shows the unique vision of the chairman of the Football Association Zenitalia.

Many people are also glad that the Spanish Football Association did not really choose Dillon, otherwise, how could the Spanish team have the glory it is today?

Even Dillon himself may have to admit it.

Yesterday at the pre-match press conference, he was asked by the media about his relationship with Borja, and this is how he responded:

"I don't have any conflicts with Kiley, I respect and admire what he has done in the national team. I am very happy to see Spain win the world championship under his leadership. So yes, before tomorrow's game, I will talk to him. He shook hands and hugged. There was absolutely no problem between us."

But he refused to answer what he thought of the exposed call recordings.

Obviously, although he has no objection to Borja, he still has a lot of resentment towards the Spanish Football Association, especially after knowing the comments made by the Spanish Football Association President on him.

From the perspective of football professionals, it is absolutely reasonable for the Spanish Football Association not to choose Dillon. At that time, the Spanish national team was based on the midfield and tactical system of the Catalan United. . Those years were also when Catalan United was more successful.

And Dillon still prefers the traditional wing plus center model.

In fact, Caesar changed from a winger to a center~www.novelbuddy.com~It was also during the period when Dillon coached the Turin Bulls.

Although he relied on this tactic to succeed with the Turin Bulls, he won the Champions League and the league championship successively.

But I have to say that at that time, pass control was played all over Europe, and his "tactics of the last century" ("World Sports Daily") really seemed outdated.

In addition, his tactics required too much scoring ability of the center. At that time, there were not many outstanding forwards in European football who were good at scoring. This made it difficult for him to struggle in European football in the later stage.

So the Spanish Football Association is right, and Zenitalia is right, except that the words are a little careless...

But Fan Fushun is just a cook, he doesn't understand professional football knowledge, he only knows that Dillon is the coach of the national team, and now he is ridiculed and insulted by the Spanish media.

Since ancient times, how can a coach be humiliated, but his subordinates remain indifferent?

So... eat well, eat well, and avenge your coach at night! Mobile phone users please browse and read, palm reading is more convenient.
