Chapter 192 We are just a relegation team (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Our goal is to relegate!" Fang Jue said with a serious expression.

The expressions of the three reporters instantly became very exciting.

"Oh my God!" John Bruce King, a reporter from the Sunday Telegraph, exclaimed with a slightly exaggerated expression, "Mr. Fang Jue, if I heard it correctly, you are talking about relegation! Are you sure you are talking about relegation?"

"Yes!" Fang Jue showed a surprised expression, as if surprised by the other party's surprise. "Ibiza is a newly promoted team. This is the first time in the club's history to play in the Spanish Second Division. Is there anything strange about such a team aiming to relegate?"

"But" John Bruce King was a little incoherent.

"Kickers" reporter Sharp Hanks couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately asked seriously, "So, coach Fang Jue, although Ibiza is now ranked second in the league with 6 wins and 3 draws, 21 points, your goal is still to relegation, not to compete for an upgrade place?"

Fang Jue smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"However, I think Ibiza is fully qualified to fight for an upgraded place, and the goal should change with the situation." El Roddick, a reporter from Marca, asked in confusion. If an updated team like Ibiza set the season's goal as relegation at the beginning of the season, it is naturally understandable. However, the league has been held for nine rounds and the schedule has been one-fifth. Ibiza's current record and outstanding state are fully qualified to look forward to higher goals.

Fang Jue laughed, "Thank you, El, but it's impossible now. The road is going to be step by step. We are just promoted teams. Relegation is the most realistic goal at present. The good results of the current situation cannot explain anything. We are still a lot short of relegation."

On October 4, El Roddick, a reporter from Marca, published a report, describing the interview with Ibiza's young head coach to readers. From the description of Mr. reporter, readers saw the image of a humble, cautious, and low-key young coach. "To be honest, I don't think Ibiza's goal can only be relegation. Well, with their current state, not to mention the promotion quota, at least it is very likely to rank in the middle and upper reaches of the league after the end of the season."

On the same day, the Sunday Telegraph also published a joint report on this interview on the front page on a huge page... Fang Jue put down the Sunday Telegraph in his hand and threw it aside. He is tired of the media's praise for himself. He admires the media's objective reports on facts, but he can't praise him so stingy. Although he deserves these praises, what do readers think? Well, readers must also feel that they deserve it, but... he will be shy.

On October 5, "Kickers" reporter Sharp Hanks published a report in his column, "Six wins and three draws have 21 points. Ibiza's head coach Fang Jue, who is considered the strongest promoted team in the Spanish Second Division in recent years, told us that Ibiza's current goal is still relegation. We were all surprised. I carefully observed the facial expression of the young and handsome coach. His words were obviously from the heart and sincere. He really thought that Ibiza's goal is relegation. Oh my God, I have seen many arrogant and arrogant guys, but at this moment, I have to admit that I met a low-key and humble guy. In the face of excellent results, he always kept a clear head, although this seems a bit too cautious in my opinion."

At the end of this report, Sharp Hanks also revealed something that happened on the day of the interview. Marca reporter El Roddick raised a "small" questioning the performance of Ibiza's 18-year-old German young player Marco Reus. Reus has assisted three times this season, but no goal has been recorded. Roddick asked Fang Jue if he expressed disappointment in this:

'I didn't expect Coach Fang Jue to be furious immediately. Such a young coach who smiled even when facing unreasonable accusations against him, when he heard someone's inappropriate remarks about his players, even when I, a German, asked a question that was just a normal question, he immediately got angry. Coach Fang Jue praised Reus. He pointed to the energy-saving light bulb in his office and sweared that Reus's goal would soon come... This made me feel very moved. It was his luck that Marco Reus could meet such a coach who valued him, appreciated him, and gave him the greatest protection at the age of 18.'

Two days later, the 10th round of the Spanish Football League 007/008 season ushered in a focus showdown.

Ibiza welcomed a strong opponent Real Sociedad at home Ibiza Arena.

This team can be said to be the biggest team that Ibiza has encountered in the Spanish Second Division so far. Real Sociedad has won the Spanish Cup twice in history, and has won the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons, and has won the Spanish Super Cup once. Well, there are two Spanish Second Division championships. It can be said that the golden and silver trophysical shiny trophysical in the honor room of Real Sociedad Club can simply blind the dog eyes of Ibiza's local dogs.

Real Sociedad head coach Chris Coleman is also a big-name coach among the 22 teams in the Segunda League. Coleman debuted as a central defender in Manchester City and then transferred to the Welsh club Swansea. Since his professional football career began in 1986, Coleman has played for four clubs including Swansea, Crystal Palace, Blackburn and Fulham, and in 2002, he has hung up boots at Fulham.

Then in April 2003, Coleman temporarily put out the fire and started coaching Fulham. He was not fired until April 2007. Then he came to Spain and began coaching Real Sociedad. Although he was only 37 years old, he was a coach with rich experience in the Premier League coaching. Of course, in front of a younger Fang Jue, it would be better not to mention his age.

"Coleman is used to using the 4-2-3-1 formation. Perhaps because of his coaching experience in the Premier League, he emphasizes physical confrontation and the team pays more attention to wing offense." Fang Jue is having a meeting with his coaching staff. After systematic training, Fang Jue's current basic theoretical knowledge, analysis ability, etc. are already very outstanding. After all, he is really talented.
