"Hey son, you've been doing really well lately!"

Vicente Alemani laughed happily, the fat on his chin seemed to be shaking: "I didn't expect that, I always thought my son was very good, but I didn't expect you to be so good. To the point...only eight rounds of the league got us out of the relegation zone, and we even reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, it seems that you are no worse than Cooper!"

Looking at Le Ho Ho's father, Jose laughed. Although he was not the real Jose, that Jose had died of drowning seven or eight years ago. The current Jose is just that It's just another person under the skin, with white skin, but inside is a standard yellow Chinese...

"You won the award, but it's only been a few months, maybe it was by accident." Jose replied with a smile.

"Don't be too humble, son, at today's shareholders meeting, that little guy Juan expressed on behalf of his father that he would sign a formal head coach contract with you, so that you will become the real first-team head coach instead of Coaching the team under the name of an agent, he thinks that this will allow you to serve the club better...you are really interesting as a friend." Alemani sat down with some difficulty, and after taking a breath explain.

"Oh? What about the other shareholders? Especially that Grande..." Jose's expression froze for a moment before he asked.

"That guy, he objected." Alemani laughed, but his small eyes were bright: "Our father and son are both natives of Mallorca. His second shareholder is much bigger. He failed to win the position of chairman before, how could he see my son continue to be so popular. But he didn't object directly, just said that it was only a few months It's just time, there's no need to rush to sign a contract, we'll talk about it after this season is over."

"What a short-sighted guy." Jose said disdainfully—Grande's opponent is not the Alemani father and son. You must know that the Alemani father and son have high popularity in Mallorca, but In the club, he has no right to speak. Grande's biggest opponent should be the Asensio family with the most shares, but he is confronting the Alemani and his son in this situation. The Alemani father and son, who are biased towards the Asensio family, are more close to Asensio...

However, this point is beneficial and harmless to Jose. He doesn't want to play Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the club. If he doesn't have the right to speak, it will only damage the strategy and development of the club. In some respects, the club Democracy is not needed, only dictatorship is needed, so as to be able to advance firmly towards a goal, it just depends on whether the chairman is wise and his vision is accurate.

Jose knows what it takes to build a club and how to make a club a giant, as a time-traveler, so all he has to do now is kick everyone else out and play by himself - it's a good feeling , Jose didn't want to waste unnecessary energy on other people.

"However, Grande only has 30% of the shares. If Juan insists, he will not be able to win...Father, what is the final result?" Jose asked.

"It's true that he won't win, but I'm on his side, it's different." Alemani laughed twice: "I told Juan and other shareholders that Jose is still young. , It has only been less than three months since he took office, and it is not a good result to rush him to the right position, let's wait until the end of the season."

After saying this, Alemani looked at his son's weird eyes, and then laughed: "Why, do you think it's a little strange? Or you don't like the result."

"No, father, I think this is the best result." Jose waved his hand: "I only planned to coach the first half of the season. I don't like the current composition of the Mallorca club. With The income is also cheaper than others, the club can't get healthy development at all, it's just fishing in the dry lake... Well, this is a word I learned from a Chinese in the United States, which means to salvage all the fish in the pond in one go, of course You can get a lot of benefits at one time, but it is no longer possible to get any benefits in the future... Although the current Mallorca is not so exaggerated, it is almost the same."

"Mallorca is indeed like this now." Alemani sighed: "What was the club's facilities when it entered La Liga three years ago, and it is still what it is now. There is no development, no progress, and good players instead. Fewer and fewer...Although we have bought a lot of players who can appreciate in value, we will not always have such good luck. We can make profits by selling outstanding players every year, and we cannot keep Coach Cooper. This is also a problem. big factor."

"Have you figured it out?" Jose laughed.

"Yes, I have figured it out." Alemani nodded: "Although Antonio and I have been old friends for decades, I know that they will not really think about Mallorca, after all, they are not Mallorca. The Roca people, the shares in the Mallorca club are just a tool for the Asensio family to earn dividends. Mallorca's performance is good, and they cheer only because they can get more income."

Jose smiled and nodded: "So you didn't try to make me the official head coach, so it would be easier for me to get away."

Alemani nodded in relief, happy that his son knew his intentions, and then he sighed: "But son, it may be very difficult to gain control of Mallorca. I am very familiar with Antonio, he is a person who will not let go of anything that can bring benefits."

"I know this very well, so when I was with Juan, I didn't express any intention of buying Mallorca Club. It is a joint-stock company and it is not listed. It is difficult to get it done. I can only take it slowly. But father... I'm only twenty-six years old."

Alemani froze for a moment, then laughed.

He understood what Jose meant. Jose was still young enough and had plenty of time—of course, what neither Alemani nor Jose thought of now was that the opportunity to buy Mallorca came quietly not long after... …

On March 19th, in the twenty-ninth round of La Liga, Mallorca played against Racing Santander, who is also one of the relegation opponents!

Racing Santander had 36 points before this round of the league, ranking three places higher than Mallorca. Although defeating this opponent cannot be said to be a success in relegation, it will definitely make more teams be defeated by Mallorca. Going into the water-now Jose hopes to draw more La Liga teams into the circle of relegation and let each of them fight each other more fiercely, so that Mallorca can go further on the road to relegation Take it easy, and be able to devote more energy to the UEFA Cup game...

So even though he played a game with all his strength in Turkey three days ago, in this game, Jose still played the main force. Amid the shouts of more than 20,000 Mallorca fans, it has become more and more like Tristan and Eto'o, a pair of top striker partners, each scored a goal, helping Mallorca beat Racing Santander 2-1 at home, and the points reached 34 points!

In this round of competition, Sevilla, which had only 28 points before, unexpectedly defeated Numancia 4-0 at home, and the points also reached 31 points. Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 in the derby The gap between Real Madrid and Mallorca widened to two points. Real Betis lost to Real Sociedad and was dropped by Mallorca by three points. Real Oviedo beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 , added a heavy bargaining chip on the road to relegation, and tied Numancia in points.

After winning this game, although Mallorca is still ranked 17th, it has widened the distance with the two teams behind it, and the gap with the team in front has also begun to narrow , one point behind Real Oviedo and Numancia, and only two points behind Racing Santander, just as Jose imagined, more and more teams began to be involved in the relegation circle, and the relegation battlefield of La Liga began It has become full of gunpowder and chaos!

There are eight teams directly involved in the relegation circle, and the first few teams have not escaped the danger of relegation. When the league is three-quarters in progress, more than half of the teams have not yet escaped. It is rare to be able to get rid of the danger of relegation...

The media are discussing the direction of this season's La Liga. Now the entire league can be divided into three parts. The first part is the championship area. In this round, Barcelona played 2-1 at home against La Coruña, and the points reached 50 points. , only two points behind Deportivo, and Real Madrid is only two points behind Barcelona after the draw, while Valencia and Zaragoza are slightly behind, plus Vallecano behind , Celta Vigo, Alaves, Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol are striving to enter the European arena, and the remaining dozen teams form a huge relegation army!

This typical pyramid-shaped league situation has triggered a wide range of discussions. Jose has remained silent in this situation. In fact, this situation can almost be said to be caused by Jose, precisely because Jose led Marlow Ka continued to defeat various relegation opponents and mid-range teams, and pulled more and more teams into the relegation circle, resulting in today's huge relegation army!

"Chaos, chaos, the more chaos, the more likely it is to fish in troubled waters!" Jose smiled wretchedly in his heart, and then planned to prepare for the second round of the UEFA Cup.

Although defeating their opponents 3-0 in the away game has basically entered the semi-finals, only Leeds defeated the Czech team Slavia Prague 3-0 in other games to achieve such an outstanding result. The ball defeated Werder Bremen, and Celta was tied 0-0 by Lens at home. The prospect is not good.

However, Jose's tenacity towards the Turks has never been ignored. Although he doesn't like the Turkish team, but just like the Korean football team in his previous life, Jose hates them, but he has to admit that their spiritual attributes are the top in the world. Among other things, Turkey's achievement of completing four consecutive games in the 2008 European Championship and almost pushing Germany to the brink in the semi-finals is enough to arouse Jose's vigilance.

Such a team, the more desperate the situation is, the easier it is to explode a huge fighting spirit. Jose is absolutely aware of this, so the second round of the UEFA Cup will definitely not be a formal game ...
