"If you want to do this, first use fire to burn the mouth of the jar. This is to burn out the air inside and form a partial vacuum...and then quickly fasten the jar to his body..."
Sun Juan held a glass tube and a burned alcohol cotton ball sandwiched between them, and while demonstrating it to several young Spanish men and women in front of her, she explained in less fluent Spanish.
On the massage table in front of them, a white man lay lying on his back, with several glass jars attached to his back.
Sun Juan is teaching her Spanish apprentices how to cupping clients in her Chinese physiotherapy clinic.
Local sports news is played on the TV hanging on the wall of the clinic.
"... After losing to Turias 1:2 and completely missing out on qualifying for next season's European competition, earlier today, Saria Club officially announced the decision to sack head coach Casas... Arno Casas
Si started coaching the team in the 2025-2026 season and has now led the team for five seasons. He is the longest-serving head coach of the Saria team in the past twenty years. Under his leadership, Saria has achieved many achievements.
Great improvement. He successfully reached the Copa del Rey final last season, but unfortunately lost to Madrid Pirates. This is also the best result of Casas coaching Saria..."
Sun Juan handed the glass jar in her hand to the apprentice next to her: "Just follow this and do this."
Then she turned around and looked at the news program on the TV. She saw her boyfriend in it, with worry in her eyes.
The head coach was fired and the team reached a moment of turmoil.
She worries that this will have a negative impact on Qinghuan's prospects in Sarria.
After all, Casas still likes Qinghuan very much...

"I am here today to say goodbye to you."
At the training ground of Sarria's first team, the players gathered and did not start training immediately. Instead, they stood on the green field and said goodbye to the team's head coach Casas.
"I am grateful for your efforts over the past few seasons. We have created many wonderful memories together. In the past five seasons, we have been generally successful. Last season we even reached the King's Cup final. Although in the end
We lost...but for a small team like Saria, being able to reach the final and stand in front of a giant like Madrid Pirates is enough to show our success."
Arno Casas stood in front of the assembled players and delivered a farewell speech to them.
"In five seasons, we have reached the Europa League three times, with the best result being the quarter-finals of the Europa League. This is an incredible and great achievement for Saria. And all of this was created by you and me. So.
I must solemnly say thank you to everyone here. Thank you for your support and cooperation in the past five seasons. I wish you good luck, and I also wish Saria good luck. I believe you can successfully keep the team in La Liga.
"
After saying that, Casas turned around and left the training ground.
He didn't say goodbye to each player individually.
The coach with the best performance under Sarria in the past twenty years bid farewell to the team.
No one knows where Saria will go after losing him.
After all, the team is only five points ahead of 18th-placed Atlético Oviedo, and there are still five rounds of the league left. There is indeed a possibility of Saria being relegated, and it is not small.
Many Sarria players who stayed on the training ground were also cast a shadow in their hearts.

When Zhang Qinghuan returned home, he was a little surprised to find Sun Juan at home.
"Isn't the clinic busy today?" he asked his girlfriend who came up to him.
Sun Juan did not answer, but gave him a hug first.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Qinghuan felt that today's girlfriend was a little unusual.
"I saw the news that your head coach has been fired."
"Well. He said goodbye to us this afternoon."
"Will it have any impact on you?"
"I don't know yet." Zhang Qinghuan shook his head and gently patted his girlfriend on the back to comfort her. "It's okay. No matter what, someone still needs to kick the ball."
"You only renewed your contract with the team last season, and then something like this happened this season..." Sun Juan was really worried about Zhang Qinghuan. "Casas likes you very much. After he leaves, if the new
What should I do if the coach’s tactical style is different?”
"Isn't this normal? Nothing goes smoothly? Try to adapt to the new head coach's style..."
While he was talking, his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Uncle Yong calling.
So he let go of his girlfriend and walked aside to answer the phone.
"Hey, Uncle Yong, what's going on?"
"I saw the news, Casas is out of class." Yong Jun said in a serious tone on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I said goodbye to the team this afternoon."
"I will pay attention to the offers from other teams..."
"Don't be anxious for now, Uncle Yong. Let's take a look at the situation. The assistant coach is now the head coach of the team and will take over temporarily. Let's wait until the new coach comes," Zhang Qinghuan advised.
"Alas..." Yong Jun sighed, and then apologized to Zhang Qinghuan: "I'm sorry, Qinghuan."
"Uncle Yong, why do you have to apologize?"
"Xiaoyu and Guangwei should both reach a higher level next season. Do you regret renewing your contract with Saria last summer?"
"Why should I regret it?"
"If you don't renew your contract, you will be free this summer and you can go wherever you want. It looks like Saria will be in turmoil for a while. If you stay here, I'm afraid there will be no more European wars."
Zhang Qinghuan looked at Sun Juan next to him, who was looking at him with worried eyes, so he gave Sun Juan a comforting smile and said at the same time:
"At that time, who would have thought that Saria would overturn in a great situation? I have no regrets, Uncle Yong, and I am even quite content. With my own situation, it is already good to be able to play in La Liga.
, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? And..."
He paused here for a moment and then continued:
"Furthermore, Saria has not performed well this season. As the core of the team, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Even if I leave, what better choice can I go to than Saria based on my performance this season?"
Yong Jun didn't know what to say when he heard this. In the end, he could only warn: "There are five rounds left in the relegation battle. You have to be careful and don't get hurt."
"Well, I will protect myself, Uncle Yong."
Yong Jun sighed and hung up the phone.
Sun Juan waited for Zhang Qinghuan and Uncle Yong to finish the phone call and then said: "Actually, you can transfer and leave. There is no need to stick here."
Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "We'll see when the time comes. First try to help the team avoid relegation, and everything else will wait until the relegation is successful."

Chen Xingyi: "Fuck, Casas is out of class! Saria is in some danger..."
Wang Guangwei: "Saria is really hard to describe this season. It's so unlucky. The team has constant injuries, and the main forward Torado was injured for four months. To be honest, I think it's pretty good to play like this. I can't pass the responsibility.
To the head coach.”
Chen Xingyi: "How can it make sense? Isn't the head coach just there to take the blame?"
Wang Guangwei: "The problem is that after Casas dismisses get out of class, the team will be more turbulent. It may not be a good thing for Saria... I still feel that the top management of the Saria club is a little anxious. Maybe they have achieved some results before and they are inflated."
Yes. Casas should be given more time. As long as he can lead the team to successfully avoid relegation, he should be allowed to continue coaching."
Xia Xiaoyu: "Maybe the club is worried that under the leadership of Casas, the team will not be able to successfully avoid relegation?"
Wang Guangwei: "With five rounds left in the league, Saria is ranked 16th, five points ahead of 18th-placed Atlético Oviedo. This point difference is actually not small. And Saria's next relegation competitor
They also have to encounter strong enemies. For example, Sporting Oviedo will challenge Catalan United away in the 35th round. I don’t believe that Catalan United can lose to Oviedo at home when competing with Pirates for the championship.
More sports. As long as Sporting Oviedo loses and Brother Huan and the others win, the point difference between the two sides will be eight points. There are still three rounds of the league left, which is stable no matter how you look at it. As a result, the change of coach now will increase the risk of relegation.
factors of instability..."
Zhang Qinghuan saw that his team was being discussed in the group, so he came out to say something: "Actually, Casas is indeed responsible. Injuries are part of the reason, and it is difficult for him to bring changes to the team tactically... Of course,
It is indeed too hasty to fire the coach before the season is over... The team's prospects of relegation are not too optimistic now."
Chen Xingyi: "Brother Huan, is there a clause in your contract extension with Saria that automatically terminates the contract if the team is downgraded? If Saria is downgraded, can you successfully run away?"
Zhang Qinghuan: "Little Xingxing, you are a crow's mouth! Who said we will definitely be demoted?"
Hu Lai jumped out: "It's okay, Brother Huan. I'm here. I'm a 'relegation expert'! I'll see if our next opponent has any of your relegation competitors, and I'll help you take them down!"
Help Saria successfully avoid relegation!"
Soon he added: "It's true! In the penultimate round, we beat Turias, the second-to-last team, away from home!"
Chen Xingyi: "Fuck...it's already the second to last round. Maybe the day lilies will be cold by then, so do you still need your help for Brother Huan?"
Hu Lai: "Can't I help Brother Huan get revenge?"
Zhang Qinghuan: "What the hell, Hu Lai! You'd better play well in the Champions League. Don't think that winning 2:0 in the first round is enough. It would be too embarrassing to go to the away game and let others reverse it! Then you will be called a dog."
