Chapter 2005 Please start from me for blood exchange
"The game is over!"
As the referee blew three whistles, Turias's substitutes rushed onto the court, hugged and cheered with their teammates, celebrating their hard-won three points on the road to relegation!
There were only cheers from Turias players and fans at Pirates Park.
Most of the Pirates fans looked at the stadium in silence, and many left the field dejectedly.
On the big screen at the scene, the final score was displayed:
0:1
Playing at home, Madrid Pirates lost to Turias, who ranked 17th in the league.
The Madrid Pirates players who lost the game quickly left the field, not wanting to be a "background" for the celebrating Turias players.
Head coach Ettore Parotti also hurriedly shook hands with Turias' head coach before turning and walking into the tunnel.
The Italian coach appeared on the TV broadcast with his head lowered and slightly stooped.
The voice of commentator Alvarez Sanchez rang out:
"In order to prepare for the Champions League quarter-round match against Catalonia in the middle of next week, Parotti made very significant adjustments to the starting lineup in this league. Even Hu did not start... So for
Now for this result, I think he should have been prepared.
"After losing this game, they are 11 points behind first-placed Kings Madrid in the league. With six rounds left in the league, this point difference makes the Pirates' hope of winning the league title become a 'no way'
Possible mission'. Of course, even if it comes at the cost of giving up the league, it is also an 'impossible mission' for the Madrid Pirates to reverse Catalonia and advance to the semi-finals...
"Parotti's Pirates career has probably reached its most dangerous moment... In the past seven seasons, the Pirates have faced a disappointing season without a championship for the first time... and there is a more serious problem - next season's Champions League.
Qualification. Currently ranked third, they are only two points ahead of fifth-placed Sevilla Navigator and one point ahead of fourth-placed Valendia. If they cannot win the Champions League qualification for next season, for Madrid Pirates,
It is the most significant failure. It even means the end of the era of pirates..."
※※※
Samuel Leray, general manager of Madrid Pirates Club, frowned and looked at head coach Ettore Parotti sitting across from him.
The team just lost to Turias at home yesterday, and this morning, two important figures from the club met together.
It was Leray who proposed this meeting.
After missing out on the league title and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, Leray believes that the team's management and head coach should agree on the goals for this season.
Should we go all-in on the Champions League, or should we stay in the top four of the league and qualify for next season's Champions League?
But the first words Parotti said caught LeRae off guard.
The Italy coach said: "I intend to resign."
This made LeRae couldn't help but think: Is Parotti threatening the club?
Seeing Leray's expression, Parotti knew that he had misunderstood him, so he explained: "Of course I am not resigning now. If the club agrees, I will coach the team until the end of the season. I guarantee that the team will win next season."
qualify for the Champions League. But after doing so, I will leave the team."
Leray frowned and said: "Ettore, I really want to discuss with you how to solve the team's current predicament... Don't listen to the rumors outside. The club has never considered replacing you..."
He told a lie, because in the middle of last week, when the team lost 0:2 to Catalonia United in an away game and half of the body was hanging on the edge of the cliff, the club management did hold a secret meeting to discuss whether to
Give Parotti an ultimatum: If the team is eliminated by Catalonia in the Champions League quarter-finals, he will be fired.
However, the meeting did not reach a conclusion in the end.
I just wanted LeRae to communicate with Parotti again, mainly to draw a conclusion from the conversation:
As the head coach, does Parotti still have enough control over this team and whether he still has a clear plan for the team's future.
If the answer is no, then even if you don't want to, you must consider changing the coach.
If Parotti still has ideas, then take it one step at a time. At the very least, don't rush to fire him immediately after being eliminated from the Champions League. That would make the club appear too ruthless.
Although doing this is a common practice for many teams. It is normal for this kind of thing to happen to the Kings, and it will not even attract the attention of the media. But if it happens to the Madrid Pirates, I am afraid it will arouse the cynicism of the media and the fans.
of protest.
As the head coach with the best performance in coaching the team, Ettore Parotti still has a very high status in the minds of most Pirates fans.
Moreover, Parotti still has a two-year contract with the club. If he is fired early, the club will have to compensate Parotti with the next two years' salary as compensation - unless he finds a new club quickly.
So in fact, LeRae is not completely lying. He is indeed here to solve the problem this time, not to solve the problem person.
Who would have thought that Parotti would get it right in one step and plan to solve it for himself.
Hearing LeRae's words, Parotti smiled slightly: "I am just solving the problem. Because as the head coach, I should be responsible for the team's current situation. This does not just mean that I should be responsible for the team's poor results, but also
He said that in order to completely solve the current problem, I should leave, otherwise there would be no way to solve the problem.
"What is the problem with the Pirates this season? In fact, we all know that when it is time for this team to be updated, it has not been replaced. But why has it not been replaced? Oh, it is not that it has not been replaced. The club has also introduced some young players.
, but their playing time under me is really small. The criticism of me in the media is correct. To be honest, I really don’t trust those young people..."
Samuel LeRae twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard Parotti say this.
Even though Parotti was coaching the team, it was the time when the club's performance was at its most glorious, but it doesn't mean that the two sides were close and there were no conflicts.
It was indeed the honeymoon period at first, when both parties were close, respected each other, cooperated tacitly, and cooperated happily.
But after Parotti led the team to win three consecutive Champions League titles, this honeymoon period ended.
After the restructuring of the Champions League, no one has successfully defended the title, let alone three consecutive championships.
And this history was completely shattered in front of Parotti's Madrid Pirates.
Even Parotti, a "good guy" with a gentle personality, became ambitious in the face of such achievements.
Parotti, who coached in La Liga, was originally just a head coach. He only had the right to suggest but not decide on the club's signings.
Now he wants to have more say in player transfers and completely control all aspects of the team.
But Madrid Pirates Club did not agree to Parotti's request.
It is a general trend in football to firmly hold the power of signings in the hands of the club. Even in the English football world that used to have a "manager-responsibility system", few will now hand over the power of transfers to the head coach. Especially
For Premier League teams, the head coach is the "Coach", not the "Manager" who had all the power in the past.
After three consecutive Champions League wins, the club began to consider gradually updating its lineup.
But the problem is that the players introduced by the club are not what the head coach wants.
Parotti wants to introduce a defensive midfielder to gradually replace captain Juan Ramirez.
But the club believes that Ramirez is the club's spiritual totem and cannot be easily changed. In addition, they feel that the team's second captain Joaquin Vela can perfectly succeed Ramirez.
But in Parotti's plan, Joaquin Vela is the central midfielder, and what he needs is a pure defensive engineer.
The club did not choose to introduce engineers, but spent huge sums of money to introduce 17-year-old Argentine left winger Nestor Farias for 80 million euros - of course, the transfer fee was divided into four years.
It was just given out, but it still caused a sensation in European football.
Farias became famous at a young age. He became famous in Argentina at the age of only fifteen and attracted the attention of European giants.
The fact that the Madrid Pirates were able to sign Farias before the Madrid Kings, Catalan United, Tramed, Stan Park Rangers, Blue and White Munich and other giants can completely make the club general manager Samuel Le
A beautiful operation that Lei Chui has been doing for a long time.
In particular, he successfully defeated the rivals of the same city, the Kings of Madrid. You must know that the star of the Kings of Madrid is Argentina's number one star Melly Banega. For Farias, who is also an Argentine player, he should be more
Attraction, the king thought so too, so they sent Mellie to be a lobbyist.
But in the end Farias chose the Pirates of Madrid, the king's mortal enemy.
Nestor Farias has therefore become the most valuable player in Argentina under the age of 18.
Farias, who came to Madrid Pirates, was placed in the B team by Parotti to play in La Liga B, the third level league in Spain.
At that time, Farias was thin and lacked the ability to fight. Although he had outstanding skills and could play football well with his feet, it was difficult for him to play directly in a wealthy team with a mature lineup like Madrid Pirates, so he was allowed to play.
It's not a big problem to go to the B team to play.
Farias performed very well in the B team. He proved that the talent that the European giants are eager to grab is not in vain.
Although he is a newcomer, he has become the absolute main force of Team B as soon as he comes up.
After one season, he scored 34 goals and assisted six times in the Spanish Second Division, creating a total of 40 goals.
He helped the Madrid Pirates B team win the Segunda B league championship and was promoted to the Segunda División as champions.
The media have praised Farias for his performance in the B team.
Throughout the 2031-2032 season, although Farias played in Segunda B, his name appeared in the media many times.
Some media described Farias's decision to play in Segunda B as a "dimensionality reduction blow". He should not have played in Segunda B, but should have gone directly to La Liga. He also tactfully criticized Parotti's treatment of Farias.
It is too conservative to use such a super talent and let him adapt to European football in the B team in a step-by-step manner. It is simply a waste of resources!
Others say that the joining of Farias has allowed Madrid Pirates to find the key to continuing the team's dominance in Europe.
The Argentine media praised Farias' performance, claiming that after Meli, Jule and Cabangka, Nestor Farias will become the leader of the new era.
Argentinian fans are beginning to look forward to the 2034 World Cup in China. By then, Farias, who has been fully trained and grown in Madrid Pirates, will form the most threatening offensive line in world football with Melli. Farias will also be Argentina's most dangerous offensive line.
The final piece of the puzzle to win the World Cup.
Madrid Pirates fans are looking forward to next season, after Farias is promoted to the first team, he will form the strongest striker combination in Europe with Julay and Kamara, and will have the entire European football world at his feet.
But after a successful season with the B team, Turias was promoted to the first team as he wished, but he was not fully promoted to the first team...
Although he was registered by the first team and included in the squad for the league and the Champions League, he rarely got a chance to play.
Most of the time, he trains with the first team, but on weekends he has to go to the B team to play in the Spanish second division...
In the first half of the 2032-2033 season, various rumors surrounding Farias began to fly.
Today he said he was ostracized by the locker room, tomorrow he said he had a dispute with Parotti, and the day after tomorrow he said he regretted coming to Madrid Pirates and was looking for a loan or transfer.
What was supposed to be the highlight of his career, turned out to be a major failure in the career of club general manager Samuel LeRae...
The club put pressure on Parotti to give Farias more opportunities.
Parotti did not have any disputes or conflicts with the club, but just followed the rules and immediately started Farias.
But Farias didn't perform well in that starting game, maybe he was too excited.
Fortunately, in that game, the performance of the rest of the team was not greatly affected by Farias. With Hulay's two goals, they still won.
However, when Farias made his second consecutive start, the team lost, and Farias still did not perform too well.
In the third game, Farias sat on the bench. The Pirates eventually won the game.
So the lineup returned to what Parotti was most familiar with.
Farias can only play in some insignificant games or times.
Especially when playing important games, key battles and tough battles, Parotti still trusts his old subordinates more and is unwilling to entrust young players represented by Nestor Farias with important responsibilities.
Unless someone gets hurt.
In this way, Farias finished his first season in La Liga awkwardly.
This season his situation seems to be turning around - at the beginning of the season, the main left midfielder and left winger Cardoso Tonini was injured and missed three months of the game.
During these three months of competition, Parotti had to use Farias.
In the first three months of the season, the Argentine winger scored six goals and assisted once in all competitions. Considering that he is only nineteen years old, these statistics are very impressive.
His potential is indeed very good. If he can fully realize his talent, the transfer fee of 80 million euros is not expensive at all.
But such a report card did not allow Farias to become the main player of the team.
After Tonini recovered from injury, he actually started a rotation with Tonini - Tonini started in some games, and Farias started in some games. And the more important the games, the more Parotti trusted Tonini.
Since that time, there have been more and more rumors that Farias was not happy at Madrid Pirates and that he and Parotti were strangers.
Everyone knows that these are not just rumors.
Finally, after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of last week, the pent-up anger burst out.
Shortly after Madrid Pirates lost the match, Farias's online social media account liked a fan's post.
That tweet said:
"If Parotti had started Farias, the Pirates would have defeated Catalonia away from home, but he didn't, so the Pirates lost. This is entirely the responsibility of head coach Parotti, and he should resign!"
To be honest, when the team lost to Catalonia United in an away game and had little hope of promotion, such an angry message was not uncommon, because at that time many Pirates fans expressed their anger and dissatisfaction in various ways, which made Par There was also the sound of Roddy finishing get out of class.
What this fan said is no big deal.
But here’s the thing… Farias liked it!
Although the Argentinian canceled the likes after an hour, someone still took a screenshot and saved it and re-uploaded it online, causing an uproar.
Farias later issued a statement on his online social media account, explaining that his phone was taken away by his sister, and that the like was also clicked by his sister, not him. This was just a prank and did not represent his true opinion. No matter what
However, he always respects the team's head coach, Mr. Ettore Parotti.
However, many Madrid Pirates fans don't buy it. They call on the club to punish Farias. Some people say that the club should sell Farias. He is just a spoiled brat in Argentina.
But some people are on Farias's side. They understand Farias's emotional venting. After all, Parotti did not treat Farias fairly. He obviously performed well at the beginning of the season, but suddenly became
Rotating players is something that no one can bear.
Moreover, in the first round match against Catalonia, Tonini, who started the game, did not perform well. Otherwise, why would he be replaced by Farias in the 60th minute?
Farias still worked very hard on the field, and it was obvious that he wanted to score goals. If Parotti could give him more playing time, even if he could not really win the game as the netizen said, at least he would be able to win the game.
It won't lead to "shaving one's head".
0:2 and 1:2 are completely different. One ball may determine life or death.
Obviously Parotti himself knows the problem, but he just doesn't change it and would rather drag the team into the abyss of elimination than change it.
In this case, don't blame Farias for being unable to suppress his anger. After all, Farias is not yet twenty years old, how can he not be young and energetic?
Since the beginning of this season, Madrid Pirates fans have gradually been divided due to Farias's outstanding performance at the beginning of the season and his attitude towards him.
It also caused conflicts within the team.
Farias represents the interests of the "newcomers" who have joined the team after three consecutive championships, while the veteran players side with coach Parotti.
Of course, the conflicts within the team are not as obvious as between the fans. Everyone still has to maintain the harmony of the team on the surface. At least they can't really make noises and fights in the locker room, right?
But everyone knows who is on which side.
At this point in the story, it seems that Parotti is the culprit that caused the team to get into trouble and is the representative of the stubborn and conservative villain in this story.
But there is another side to this story, Side B.
Nestor Farias is just the only bright spot in the club's recruitment efforts in recent years.
Moreover, Farias is also a young genius who has already become famous. This does not prove Leray's vision. It only proves that his transfer operation methods are indeed very powerful and he is able to sign top talents that so many wealthy clubs are competing for.
The signings in other positions are somewhat difficult to describe...
So far, Ramirez's successor has not been found.
If you want Joaquin Vela to replace Ramirez, then you have to find someone who can fill the vacancy left by Joaquin Vela, right?
Didn't find it either.
The successor found for center back Riva Moreno turned out to be a glass man. After joining the team for two seasons, he only played a total of twelve times for the team. The rest of the time was spent recuperating from injuries, and he still earns 400 yuan per year.
A salary of 800,000 euros…
So much so that Parotti had to continue to let 37-year-old Riva Moreno play the main role.
So why do so many fans still support Parotti until now?
Because everyone sees how well the club's recruitment work is done.
They ridiculed the Madrid Pirates for "recruiting with their feet" and did not believe that the current situation of the team was the responsibility of Parotti, the head coach, and that the club management should bear greater responsibility.
Parotti noticed the little movement of Le Lei's mouth, and he laughed: "I'm not mocking you, Samuel. At this time, it actually doesn't make sense who is right and who is wrong, and I can't say that I am right.
Farias is an excellent player. His talent is really outstanding. I do have problems with his use... I will go to him to talk to him alone. You don't have to worry about him anymore.
."
Samuel LeRae sighed when he heard this: "So you have made up your mind?"
From these words, he could hear Parotti's determination to leave the team. After all, he was willing to admit in front of himself that the way he treated Farias was wrong... He was not even willing to argue with himself about this matter.
Why?
Because there is no need to argue, he will not continue to coach the team anyway, so what is the point of competing?
"Yes, I have made a decision. If I fail to lead the team to the Champions League semi-finals, the club can fire me. But if the club does not fire me, I will resign after the end of this season. Of course I promise that I will
Let this team stay in the top four of the league...I am still confident in this, after all, we still have Hu."
The league has played thirty-two rounds, and the situation in the league standings is as follows:
The first place is the Kings of Madrid, with 79 points.
Second place Catalonia United has 75 points.
Third place Madrid Pirates, with 68 points.
Valentia is fourth with 67 points.
Sevilla Navigator is fifth, with 66 points.
Sporting Vizcaya is sixth with 64 points.
The competition is quite fierce.
Hu Lai currently scores 30 goals in the league and currently ranks first in the league's scorer list.
Some media have calculated that without Hulay's 30 goals, Madrid Pirates' league points would be 21 points less than they are now.
What is the concept of missing twenty-one points?
Forty-seven points can only rank ninth in the current league standings.
Not to mention the Champions League, they don’t even qualify for the Europa League, and they can’t even qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
After Le Lei was silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "If...if we can reach an agreement on the transfer, is it..."
Parotti didn't wait for him to finish his words and shook his head: "Then I won't either. Samuel, I coached this team for nine seasons and won all the honors that a club head coach can get.
To be honest, I myself lack the motivation to continue to lead this team into a new era. Ultimately, the problems this season may be caused by my loss of motivation..."
Finally he said firmly:
"This team should have been cleaned up and replaced a long time ago, and it is only natural that it should start with me as the head coach."
