560 Infernal Affairs(1/2)
Super Coach 560, Super Coach Text
In the past three years, with the decline of Real Madrid, the Galaxy battleship, Barcelona, Valencia and other teams have quietly risen, especially Barcelona. Because of its Catalonian background, the century derby between them and Real Madrid has always attracted the attention of fans around the world.
It is undeniable that Barcelona's football has indeed been better and better than Real Madrid in recent years, but there is one thing that they cannot match, that is influence!
Florentino is a businessman. In the past six years he took over Real Madrid, it is difficult to judge the merits and demerits, but there is one thing that is definitely worthy of recognition, that is, he has made Real Madrid the most influential team in the world.
Not long ago, a Spanish magazine [Economic Today] published a report given by an authoritative organization. Among the most influential trademarks in Spain, Coca-Cola ranks first, with brands such as Nestlé, Visa Card, Danone, Rolex, and BMW following closely, while Real Madrid ranks 7th, making it the most influential brand in Spain.
In recent years, Barcelona, which has the best stars in the world and the sexiest football, has only ranked 82nd. From this point, we can see the gap in the influence of the two teams in Spain.
Real Madrid can be said to be a symbol of Spanish football except for Catalonia, while Barcelona is a symbol of Catalonia. However, due to domestic political factors in Spain, it is very strange. I don’t know whether it is true or false. Several consecutive Spanish Prime Ministers have been Barcelona fans.
However, almost all Spanish royal families were loyal to Real Madrid, including Spanish King Juan Carlos I.
Yang Cheng once heard an interesting story in his previous life, that is, during Capello's ugly style of playing, he was not only thrown into white handkerchiefs by fans, but even Spanish King Juan Carlos I personally called the Real Madrid president and asked him, "When will that conservative Capello leave?"
Real Madrid did not actually drive Capello away because of this, but waited until the end of the season. Capello also brought Real Madrid the urgently needed La Liga championship trophy, so Juan Carlos I's phone call actually had no effect.
But it is not difficult to see from this that he is really a loyal real Madrid.
Many people don’t understand and think that Real Madrid fans are too picky and have too high requirements. In fact, this is understandable, because for Real Madrid fans, especially Real Madrid fans in the local area of Spain, Real Madrid is not just a football club, but also a symbol of spiritual culture (high-quality text starts, all in %).
Let me ask, who is willing to easily change the spiritual cultures that they have become accustomed to and accepted from childhood?
Who is willing to change himself and accept some spiritual culture that he always opposes and refutes?
All teams have had glory and troughs, including Real Madrid. But the problem is that Real Madrid was too dazzling around the new century, especially after Florentino came to power, it brought an atmosphere that was more impetuous and eager for quick success than before. Coupled with excessive erosion of business, the entire environment was messed up.
This situation has now happened to Real Madrid, so that Real Madrid is now in a turmoil. Even Marca has published such a report on its front page headlines before.
Either Caesar or turbulent!
Over the years, every time there is a crisis in Real Madrid and news of changing coaches, Yang Cheng is always at the forefront, because he is the only head coach recognized by Real Madrid fans and is the only head coach who is publicly invited by Florentino.
But the situation this year is different from previous years, as the Ass report said. If Florentino cannot invite Caesar, he will be disheartened and leave the position of Real Madrid as chairman in the summer, and civil unrest will cause Real Madrid to fall apart.
With the help of Spanish and global media, Real Madrid fans are waiting for Yang Cheng's arrival with a mentality of almost waiting for the savior, but this Chinese person has never been willing to say even a word he wants to go to Real Madrid.
Even if the person asked him about the Spanish King Juan Carlos I.

"The first time I saw your football was in the 1997 European Cup final. Barcelona was arrogant at that time. I thought Robson's team would definitely massacre the team from the Bundesliga. I couldn't even call it a name, but in the end, it surprised me and made me remember your name!"
Although Juan Carlos I was the king, in many occasions, he was actually the same as an ordinary person, equal, without airs, and did not need to be respectful when speaking, just like an ordinary person.
In Europe, although there is a so-called aristocratic class, there is actually no class distinction. Yang Cheng has seen many aristocrats, such as Prince Charles, King Monaco, and the Spanish king in front of him, all the same.
The explicitly specified classes are not scary, what is scary is the subconscious classes (high-quality text firsts, all in %)!
This slightly fat old Spanish king looked liked to talk about the ball, but he couldn't stop talking, which made the queen sitting next to him shook her head and laughed.
"I became your fan since that game, and you and your Kaiserslautern were very, very good. Then in Inter Milan, in Liverpool, oh, especially Liverpool, that Istanbul miracle was amazing, it was simply incredible!"
Yang Cheng nodded with a smile and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you!"
"You should come to Real Madrid, do you know?" Juan Carlos I said seriously, "Not because of reputation or status, just because I can see that you are a real Meiling!"
"What do you think?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Juan Carlos I laughed, quite generous, her right hand kept changing gestures, and her dancing and joking look was very affectionate, "Didn't you notice? Your football gene has a strong smell of Real Madrid!"
Just when we were talking about this, the staff on the scene came to invite Juan Carlos I and asked him to go to the backstage to deliver a speech to the Lawrence Sports Awards ceremony.
"Believe me. Come to Real Madrid!" Juan Carlos I did not forget to remind me before leaving.
After sending Juan Carlos I away, Yang Cheng thought about it very seriously. He really didn't feel it. He turned his head and looked at the bright and charming Melissa, "Is there any?"
The French nodded with a smile, "I think there is one too!"
Yang Cheng wondered, why didn’t he notice it?
Is there really something that is subtly affecting yourself?

Barcelona is very much looking forward to this awards party. The reason is simple. They were shortlisted for three awards, namely Ronaldinho's Best Male Athlete of the Year, Messi's Best Newcomer of the Year, and Barcelona's Best Team of the Year. Cruyff is going to win the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Before the party, the media in Catalonia frequently made appeals, believing that the reason why Lawrence chose to be held in Barcelona this time was to make the host stand out. Moreover, Barcelona's chairman Laporta was previously hired as Lawrence's honorary chairman, which undoubtedly increased Barcelona's chances of shining at the awards ceremony.
But unexpectedly, the final result was a surprise (high-quality text first, all in %).
The first awards related to football were awarded the Best Newcomer of the Year, and Barcelona's young player Messi was quite optimistic before. But the big hit was Nadal, a fan of Real Madrid. At the age of 19, he defeated Federer and won the French Open championship for the first time in the French Open. In 2005, he won 11 championships, including 4 Masters.
In the end, Nadal successfully defeated Messi and won the Rookie of the Year.
Yang Cheng did not give applause at all when he stopped him and said he was his fans. At least there will be one more big-name star in his fan group in the future.
"After going back, follow his Weibo!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Melissa glanced at the guy, thinking he was too snobbish, but was giggling by his words and expressions.
Several awards were awarded afterwards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. Cruyff is indeed worthy of this award. Although Yang Cheng was very upset with him and felt that he would retire when he retired. There was no need to chatter all day long and talk a lot of nonsense, his contribution to Barcelona and football is still worthy of recognition.
Then we came to the team of the year. This time we were shortlisted for Liverpool, Barcelona, Croatian tennis team, New Zealand rugby team, F1 Renault team and NBA San Antonio Spurs.
When Bailey, one of the judges of Lawrence, walked up to the podium, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers. Yang Cheng turned around and looked at it, and found that it was from the area where Barcelona was sitting.
"Damn, do we Liverpool be dead?" Yang Cheng cursed dissatisfied.
As soon as Bailey appeared, everyone knew that the football team should win the award.
"From my personal standpoint, I am very supportive of Barcelona because there is a group of very outstanding and talented geniuses in this team, such as my fellow countryman Ronaldinho. I think Barcelona's football is more artistic, of course, Liverpool is also very good, a very good team."
"But from my personal feeling, I think Barcelona deserves the award and the European Champions League. This is a reward for them!" Bailey said with a smile.
There was another burst of warm applause from the scene, and it seemed that the Barcelona head coach and the players were shouting happily.
"He is famous for his crow's mouth. Whoever believes him will be unlucky is more accurate than the octopus Paul!" Yang Cheng leaned into Melissa's ear and cursed.
"Who is the octopus Paul?" Melissa was not sure (high-quality text first, all in %).
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Well, a charlatan who has not yet been born!"
I saw Bailey on the stage open the envelope, take out a piece of paper, take apart and look at it, frowned, leaned over to the microphone, smiled and showed her white teeth, "Hehe, Liverpool!"
I saw that the group of Barcelona who wanted to cheer were all uncomfortable. They widened their eyes and looked at it, all of them suspected that Pele had called it wrong. How could it be Liverpool?
But the Brazilian football king repeated, "Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the 2006 Lawrence Sports Awards Best Team Award!"
The TV screen behind him immediately appeared on the TV screen, which focused on introducing Liverpool's 4 goals in the Champions League final last season, and reversed Juventus with a 0:3 draw in a row. It fully demonstrated its tenacity and persistence in sportsmanship, and the entire team showed a very touching and vigorous fighting spirit.
Rick Parry slowly walked up to the podium and hugged Yang Cheng in front of him.
"Thank you!" When Rick Parry took the trophy from Bailey, he politely thanked the award presenter.
"Thank you all the Liverpool players, all the staff and fans, but the most thanks is our head coach, Mr. Yang Cheng. Without you, we would not have that miraculous night, and there would not be this award, thank you!"
Rick Parry held high the trophy for the Best Team of the Year, and harried to the audience below. He turned around and walked to the backstage.
Liverpool won the Best Team of the Year, and the Barcelona ranks of Yang Cheng and others were finally worth it. As for the Best Male Athlete of the Year, to be honest, Yang Cheng thinks that Gerrard's chances of winning are not high, not because of his strength, but because this award is basically awarded to sports that pay more attention to personal performance, such as tennis f1, golf and so on.
Yang Cheng’s guess is correct. The one who won this grand prize was Federer, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world.
As a result, the Barcelona's eager expectations were vain, because they were shortlisted for three awards, but in the end they were empty-handed. As for Cruyff, well, he was half a Barcelona, but after all. He was Dutch.
"It can be seen that the award selection is fair!"
After the award was awarded, some singing and dancing performances began. Yang Cheng smiled and started chatting with Melissa.
He was in a good mood after winning the award, so of course he felt that the selection was fair. If Liverpool did not win the award, he would probably be suspicious.
But it cannot be said that Yang Cheng is narcissistic. Because looking at the past season, what else can Barcelona be better than the La Liga championship? No!
In addition to the Champions League, Liverpool also won the FA Cup, and in 2005, Liverpool also won the Club World Cup, the European Super Cup and the Community Shield Cup. If such a record cannot win the best team of the year, Barcelona will want to win the La Liga championship, and it will be scary if there is no shady!
"Yes!" Melissa thought this guy was so that's the worst. "The most regrettable thing is that there is no coach of the year, otherwise you should get it, is that the statement?"
"Hey, beauty, you've learned bad things now, and you're ridiculed me?" Yang Cheng complained with a smile.
"Learn from you!" Melissa turned her head with a very cute and charming expression.
"You haven't learned so many advantages, but you have learned to talk back. It seems that you have to find an opportunity to teach you a good lesson!" Yang Cheng chuckled and intimidated.
Melissa just couldn't stand his words mixed with some teasing and ambiguousness. When she felt hot, her face turned red. She didn't say anything, pretending to watch singing and dancing, but the guy's hand came over secretly and scratched the back of her hand that she placed on the chair.
This girl was guilty and quickly pulled her hand back and didn't dare to look at him again.
Yang Cheng just likes to see her expression, the pretty look of a very young woman.

…………
Like all awards ceremony, a cocktail party will be held after Lawrence's awards ceremony, and only invited guests and winners can attend.
Yang Cheng and Melissa attended the cocktail party accompanied by Rick Parry and others. The Chinese once again became the focus of many Spanish political and business celebrities. Nadal, Federer and others also took the initiative to come over to meet, and the latter even said that they were Yang Cheng's fans.
"Robert Baggio is my idol, because of him, I became your fan!" Federer said with a smile.
