Chapter 22: What kind of person is the pirate coach

Hu Lai got out of the car and extended an invitation to Song Jiajia: "Don't go to the house and sit, eat dinner before leaving?"
Song Jiajia, who was sitting in the driving seat, waved his hand: "Don't go. Your business is over, the team still has a lot of work to do."
"How much time can I delay eating a meal?"
"If you don't go or not, I have to be with my staff. I won't disturb the two-person world of the two of you, hey!"
Song Jiajia raised the window, waved goodbye to Hu Lai again, and drove away.
Hu Lai watched him leave, then turned around and opened the courtyard door with his fingerprints.
When he opened the door of the house and walked into the house, he found that Li Qingqing was already busy cooking dinner in the kitchen.
He was taken aback: "Did the Madrid Kings training end so early?"
"I'm back?" Li Qingqing, who was busy in the open kitchen, heard Hu Lai's voice and explained without looking back, "I only trained for half a day today. I went home after lunch at the base. By the way, I Watching the live broadcast of your welcome ceremony on TV, what is the experience of more than 20,000 people chanting your name together? Hey!"
"It's okay, the Flanders Stadium has 30,000 fans." Hu Lai is humble on the surface, but actually shows off.
"Wait for the official game, the Pirates Park can seat 80,000 people. As a Madrid Kings player, I know that the Pirates fans are very enthusiastic. Their home stadium is almost full. It is the home of the team with the highest attendance in La Liga." Li Qingqing turned and brought the mixed salad to the table.
Then she noticed a small national flag in Hu Lai's hand, and asked in surprise: "Where did this come from?"
"Oh..." Hu Lai turned the national flag in his hand, "I went for a medical examination this morning, and I met some Chinese students after the medical examination. When I signed them, one of the girls gave it to me..."
He told Li Qingqing about the situation at that time.
Li Qingqing laughed straight after hearing this: "So you scared them, where is someone else giving you a gift..."
She stepped forward, drew the national flag from Hu Lai's hand, and walked towards a glass vase.
First, I took out the flowers in the vase and compared them with the national flag. I found that the vase was too high, and the pole of the small national flag was too short to insert it incongruously.
So she put the flowers back again, and then looked for a glass that only drinks water.
Put the flag in, this time the height is just right.
Li Qingqing looked at it with satisfaction and put the cup on the dining table.
A touch of red on the white tabletop is particularly conspicuous.
"How is it?" she asked Hu Lai, tilting her head.
Hu Lai nodded: "It looks good."
Li Qingqing, who was praised, walked back to the kitchen with a smile and continued to cook dinner.
Hu Lai followed in to help.
I have had the experience of cooking together in Leeds, and the two cooperated very tacitly.
They talked while cooking.
"How do you feel, did you meet the pirates' senior management and coach today?" Li Qingqing asked.
"They are all good. They are very warm and friendly."
"You are the most valuable player in the history of the pirates, of course you will be warm and friendly." Li Qingqing smiled, "this is the first time you have seen the pirate coach?"
"Well, yes. For the first time, I just heard his name before, but I haven't touched it. After all, Leeds has never played against pirates."
"How does he look?"
"Parrotti seems to be a nice person with a smile on her face. To be honest, I was quite surprised..."
"What's so surprising about this? Don't everyone say that he is a good old man?" Li Qingqing asked strangely.
"That's why I am surprised. The Madrid Pirates are a team with a very radical team culture..." Hulai frowned and said.
Regarding this point, after attending today's welcoming ceremony, he has a deeper experience.
Especially the Spanish uncle who dangled in the camera holding the sign, it was particularly shocking to him.
He really did not expect to see that word again outside of his home country...
"It stands to reason that, for such a team, shouldn't the head coach be a very combative person who'suppresses the world and the air in the middle'? Just like Leeds, the head coach is a neurotic, so Our whole team is also neurotic, offensive to death... I think a coach and a team are always related in temperament."
After listening to Hu Lai’s doubts, Li Qingqing explained with a smile:
Binding the head coach to the team’s temperament is actually more common in mid-lower teams, because the head coach has to imprint his own personal qualities. In the team, you can lead the team to achieve good results. But the giants often don’t need this. The giants have their own team culture. This kind of thing is passed down over a long period of time, not just one or two head coaches. What can be changed. Just like our King of Madrid..."
She paused here because she had to put the fried salmon on a plate first.
Hu Lai helped her hand over the plate, then picked up the pan and tilted it slightly so that Li Qingqing could pick the salmon onto the plate with only one hand.
After finishing all this, she put the plate on the dining table and turned it back to catch the cooked pasta. Hu Lai took the two clean plates out of the disinfection cabinet and made preparations.
Li Qingqing continued the topic just now: "...For example, what is the tradition of the King of Madrid, do you know?"
"Champion." Hu Lai shrugged.
This is the confidence of the top giants. For other teams, the championship is the highest honor that needs to be pursued, but for the Madrid Kings, the championship is their tradition.
When he played in Leeds City, although he also won two championships, but in fact the club is not pursuing a championship, but to be able to qualify for the European war steadily every year. Winning the championship was purely a surprise. Although it is good to get it, it is not a big deal if it is not.
Leeds City is a small team after all.
There are some giant teams who just feel satisfied that the team can qualify for the Champions League.
Only the Madrid Kings will fail if they do not win the championship in a season. From the players to the coaches, and even the club chairman, they have to bear tremendous pressure.
The championship is a matter of course for them, because the Madrid Kings are the best club in the world. Only enough championship glory can be worthy of this status.
"Yes." Li Qingqing said. "With this as a tradition, even women's football, which was established more than a hundred years later than men's football, has a clear goal from the beginning, and that is the championship. For this reason, they will not hesitate to invest a lot of money in women's football and invest a lot of resources. Even the state-of-the-art Benavente training base is used by the women’s football team. What I told you, we are even separated from the first team by a wire fence during training."
Hu Lai nodded. When Li Qingqing first arrived at the Madrid Kings women's football team, he had told him about it as a very novel thing.
In Paris Herger women's football, let alone training with the men's football team only separated by a wall, the training bases of the two teams are not in the same place, far apart.
Regardless of China and foreign countries, this situation is normal in women's football.
The King of Madrid is an alien.
So after Li Qingqing came to the Madrid King, he was shocked to find that they were training in the same training base as the men's football team.
"In the Madrid Kings, regardless of the men's and women's teams, they all pursue the championship. Their players must be championship-level players, and the coach is the same. If a coach can't lead the team to the championship, then they have to leave the get out of class. Players can't To help the team win the championship, no matter how big the name is. This is the tradition of the Madrid Kings. Although criticized as impersonal, they are indeed the most successful team in the last century and the most championship honors in Europe. Team."
"But according to what you said, the pirates have no reason to find Parrotti as the head coach. No matter how he looks at it, they don’t conform to the pirate’s tradition..." Hu Lai still didn’t want to understand. He said that he also handed two plates to Li Qingqing. .
Li Qingqing took out the pasta from the pot and put it on the plate, then scooped out the meat sauce that had been fried on the other side and poured it on. The minced meat rolls down from the top of the noodles, and the juice flows horizontally and seeps into the gap between the noodles and the noodles.
After she poured a plate of noodles, Hu Lai took the plate and stirred thoroughly with chopsticks so that the sauce was in close contact with each noodle.
Accompanied by his movements, the fragrance overflowed.
"Parotti's label is'good old man, good to get along with, good talk'." Li Qingqing over there continued to pour sauce on another plate of noodles, and said at the same time: "It is not good to say, but it is in fact lack of personality. But if there is no personality, It means that there will be no conflict with or against the tradition of pirates."
She passed the noodles drenched in sauce to Hu Lai and asked him to continue mixing.
And she picked up two empty glasses herself.
"Just like water, you pour it in a cup, it’s the shape of a cup, you pour it in a bowl, it’s the shape of a bowl, you pour it in a bottle, it’s the shape of a bottle. Parotti is water, he has no characteristics of his own. On the contrary, it can be compatible with more features."
Hu Lai carried two plates, while Li Qingqing took two glasses of water and walked to the table together.
The two sat down, ready to start dinner.
Noodles, fish, vegetable and fruit salads have carbon water, protein, and vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. Although they are simple, they are not lacking in nutrients.
"Parotti has only been here for two seasons. Before him, the Pirates were a very personal coach."
Hu Lai reported his name: "Hantcheck, coach'Madman'."
Li Qingqing nodded: "Yes, it's him."
Bjorn Hantcek, the famous "madman coach" in football. He is the former coach of the Madrid Pirates. He has coached this team for five years, leading the Madrid Pirates to two league titles and a Copa del Rey. In the Champions League, the pirates were once brought to the semi-finals. However, the Madrid Pirates eventually lost to the Torino Bulls led by Caesar and missed the final and naturally missed the championship. It was the closest to the Champions League after the Pirates won the championship fifteen years ago.
The coach's coaching ability is as controversial as his personality. People who like him like him a lot, and those who hate him can't wait for him to die.
Hu Lai also worked with Clark, the "lunatic", but to be honest, Clarke is much more normal than Hantcheck... After all, Clark is only crazy in football tactics, and he is still a normal person.
And Hantcheck is crazy whether in football or in the world.
He once did things where he rushed to the court and dragged the opponent down because he thought that the opponent was replaced and the player walked too slowly.
As a result, he not only did not allow the game to resume as soon as possible, but triggered a fight between the players on both sides.
He himself was shown a red card and was banned for five games not only because he rushed onto the court to drag the opponent's player, but also because of the face of the opponent's player in that fight...
Such an explosive head coach and the Madrid Pirates are a perfect match.
Everyone thought he would coach for a long time in this team.
How could he have thought that after leading the Madrid Pirates to the Copa del Rey in the 2024-2025 season, he announced that he would no longer renew his contract with the club, and would simply rest at home for a year without leaving home.
Now, this man with full of personality has returned to his home country. He is the head coach of Bundesliga giants Blue and White Munich. He has led the team to win the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive seasons, and he also led the team to win last season." The "Triple Crown" combines the league champions, domestic cup champions and Champions League champions in the same season.
He was only forty-eight years old when he did all this, and he was the youngest coach to complete the "Triple Crown" achievement.
The future is even more promising.
The loss of such an excellent coach is a great loss for the Madrid Pirates.
"Now there are many things in this pirate team that are left by Hantcheck, and Parotti did not change without authorization after he came. Instead, he continued to use the core framework, and then did not damage the core framework. Carrying out his changes. Winning the Europa League in the first season can also illustrate Parotti's ability." Li Qingqing continued.
"Although some people say that the main credit for this championship is Hantecek, after all, Hantecek laid the foundation for Parotti to win the championship...Parrotti has not argued with anyone about this issue. He coached the team. After that, the fighting spirit of the Madrid Pirates has not been affected. Everything is the same as before. In the replacement of the coach, the stability of the team has been guaranteed. Of course, this is due to his lack of'personality' personality..."
After listening to Li Qingqing's analysis, Hu Lai asked: "Na Qingqing, do you think Palotti is a suitable head coach for the pirates?"
"Why do you ask?" Li Qingqing didn't quite understand.
"Listening to you, I always feel that Parrotti is like a transitional coach. It was the Madrid Pirates Club who couldn't find a suitable candidate in a short time after Hantechek's departure. After all, Paro He has high compatibility. Any team style can be compatible..."
"That's why you think too much, I don't think it will. Everyone has won the Europa League. Even if it was a transition, it is now being strengthened by the club."
Hu Lai scratched his head: "That's good, I'm afraid the head coach will be changed soon after I came..."
"Why do you have this kind of worry?" Li Qingqing was curious.
"The main reason is that I always encounter such things. I just went to Xingxing before, and Zhao's handsome position was precarious, and get out of class may be dismissed at any time. Later, when I went to Leeds, the boss Clark was on the verge of dismissing get out of class... I was afraid that this would become an old stalker. , Repeat the cycle forever."
"That's not afraid, Hu Lai. With your current ability and status, even if you change the head coach, you will definitely have a place in the Madrid Pirates. You are a Mr. 100 million euros!"
"Everyone is talking about'Mr. 100 Million Euro', making me think that I really have 100 million Euros. Actually...what does it have to do with me!" Hu Lai spread his hands together, empty.
Li Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Hurry up and eat the noodles, or else it's all going to be lumpy."
"Good." Hu Lai picked up the chopsticks to pick noodles, but...
Li Qingqing frowned and watched Hu Lai awkwardly and awkwardly for a long time before picking up a piece of noodles. She trembled halfway and slipped back. She couldn't help but said, "What are you doing?"
"As you can see, eat noodles."
"You hurt your right hand?"
"No."
"Then why are you eating noodles with your left hand?"
"Ah... you said this." Hu Lai looked down at the chopsticks in his left hand. "After I saw Parotti today, he told me that I should practice my left foot well and strive to be able to shoot. , No shortcomings."
Li Qingqing was stunned, and raised his sword eyebrows: "I said this the first time I met?"
"Well, straight to the point. He really looks like a good coach."
Li Qingqing squeezed her chin with her hand, and said in deep thought: "It's really...you are now very good at shooting ability, header and right foot are very good, if there is a problem, it is that the left foot is not enough. So familiar with yours The opponent can lock your right foot in a targeted manner, forcing you to control the ball and shoot with your left foot in the game..."
"Right? Parrotti said the same." Hu Lai nodded.
"Did he make you practice like this?" Li Qingqing asked again, referring to eating with her left hand.
"That's not..." Hu Lai shook his head.
Li Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll just say~EbookFREE.me~ If he can come up with this idea, then his level is not very good. You are Baidu's method again?"
She thought of the scene when he first met Hu Lai when he became Emperor Cao of Dongchuan Middle School. Later, Hu Lai told her that it was to train and improve her physical coordination, and the method was found online...
She rolled her eyes frantically at that time.
"No, no, I just thought about it myself. I wondered if I wanted to raise my left foot, then I had to train myself to be a left-handed person. Not only my left foot, but also my left hand. So it's like simply Use your left hand when eating..."
Li Qingqing interrupted his whimsical thinking: "It's OK, don't mess around. If you want to practice your left foot, it's very simple. After eating, my sister will take you to the backyard to practice!"
After hearing this, Hu Lai quickly changed his hands, picked up the plate and directly digs the noodles into his mouth.
Snoring!
Li Qingqing quickly reached out to stop him: "Don't worry about it..."
