In order to prepare for the league on February 20, this Copa del Rey game, Irueta did not come with the team, but sent Shen Xiangfu as the head coach temporarily, which can be said to be a great honor for the outstanding Chinese player Wang Ai, and also to the old Shen, who has been in the team for half a year and has no one to say no to him, has great trust.Even if it's just the second game of an unimportant Copa del Rey quarter-final, and it's a game that's almost impossible to miss in the last game with a 4-2 lead.But this is still the first time that a Chinese coach has independently coached a La Liga team and independently directed an official match of a La Liga team.Wang Ai, who heard the news, didn't come back to his senses for a long time.Among them, Lao Shen's rich coaching experience, humble attitude, and hard work are of course important reasons, but if you want to say that there is no reason of your own, no one inside and outside the team believes it.In the case that the club was poor and could not afford to give itself more bonuses, the management resolutely issued a "spiritual reward" to itself!
Now, Lundoiro and Irueta already know the financial ability of Wang Ai's family, and they know who the youth of Tübingen belong to, and naturally they also know what Wang Ai's purpose is to get the coach of a third-place team in the Athens Olympics to Laco.So, on the occasion of Wang Ai's return to China, he gave him a surprise.I have to say that there are still unique features for a financially poor team like Laco to get to where it is today.This also forced Wang Aifei to win Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, he also said this with Lao Hao and Datou, who came with the team; "When you go abroad, no matter what the relationship between you is at home, you must give you a cheer and save face.Our Chinese's plate in the five major leagues has to be so expanded. ”Lao Hao and Datou also think the same way.Naturally, Lao Shen's sudden departure also aroused the curiosity of the Spanish media.Originally, a Chinese assistant coach was not worth paying attention to, and every year, coaches from countries with weak football would come to major teams to learn from them, and usually the teams would also give convenience.But this is the first time that a Chinese like Lao Shen can suddenly take over the whip and really take office.Tübingen Juniors is only a second-tier league, it's nothing.Subsequently, the media naturally dug up Lao Shen's resume!
The third place in the Olympic Games is enough to dispel all the doubts of the media, and many coaches who have taken up the lace of La Liga do not have such qualifications.Therefore, the title of "China's best coach" is buckled on Lao Shen's head.Lao Shen himself is quite calm, and he didn't think much about the team's tactical play, and it was too late to express respect for Iruetta.Before coming to Madrid, I had reported to Irueta about the idea of the game, nothing special, basically according to Iruetta's habits.He understands that there is a first time and a second time.The first breakthrough can be smooth.But in private, when he was alone with Wang Ai, he still showed a trace of nervousness, although he didn't understand what to say, but after getting along for so long, how could Wang Ai not know Lao Shen's thoughts.On the first day of arriving in Madrid, on the training ground, Lao Shen talked and laughed with the young players of the second team in Spanish.Even if the national conditions and cultures are different, after all, they are all young people, and they are all young people with no complicated thoughts and lively personalities, and Lao Shen has been playing the youth team for many years and has long been a master of cultivation.On the contrary, he has nothing to say to Lao Hao and Datou, according to his meaning: You are so old, and you still need me to teach you?
On the evening of the day after arriving in Madrid, last season's champion Laco in blue and white jerseys and Atletico Madrid in red and white jerseys lined up at the Calderón Stadium, which sits on the banks of the river.In this game, Laco's "second team" was all assembled, with single striker Lao Hao, forward Wang Ai, left forward Robert, right forward Huo An, Héctor and Li Weifeng partnered in the back, with the role of one attack and one defense, and then the back line led by Duscher.Unexpectedly, Atletico sent a team of substitutes to meet the game.It may be that the gap in the last game is relatively large, so it is necessary to strategically abandon the Copa del Rey, or it may be that it intends to concentrate on playing the league and strive for European qualification.As we all know, Rey's identity is actually a team, and he is a special type of player who plays on both sides of the bench.Sure enough, under the leadership of Wang Ai, the second team of Laco played extremely relaxed and confident, for not being able to play with Torres again, Wang Ai somewhat regretted, last year's World Youth Championships 83 national youth in the final championship and runner-up battle, regrettably lost to Spain, at that time Wang Ai put down the cruel words: see you in the league.Later, although he defeated Atletico Madrid many times, however, he still remembered Torres.Wang Ai played half of the game, and found that Atletico Madrid had no fighting spirit, so he lost interest, with a score of 2:0, he left the game early in the second half, and the final result did not change, Wang Ai and Lao Hao scored one.Although Wang Ai was not interested, it did not prevent the whole team from celebrating happily after the game, Lao Shen did not make any changes to the team, but victory is good, even if the other party did not do his best, but he always won.This has strengthened his confidence in commanding European teams.After this game, Deportivo La Coruna also eliminated Atletico Madrid with an aggregate score of 6:2 and entered the semi-finals of this season's Copa del Rey.There are still three games in the Copa del Rey, and unlike Wang Ai, who can easily play in the first team, Robert, Joan, Cesar, and Héctor are doubly cherished.The team returned to the club the next day, and the fierce La Liga competition would begin again, and on Saturday night, the curtain kicked off with 20 teams battling it out.The most interesting match in this round is the battle between Laco and Real Betis.In the last round, Valencia and Villarreal, who were tied for fourth, were both defeated, and were overtaken by Real Betis.Although Real Betis has little hope of winning the championship, they still have the ability to stumble on the members of the winning team.The worst thing for Laco was that many of the team's main players were not in good form, and Real Betis was fully loaded, and Irueta did not trust the substitutes as usual, and fully mobilized the main players in his hands to face the game, only to return to the away dressing room with a score of 0:2 at half-time.Returning from the second half, Irueta made decisive continuous substitutions, Wang Ai, Robert, and Huo An replaced Forlan, Belleron, and Victor respectively, and changed the entire front waist line!
Robert and Huo An, who suddenly got the opportunity to play, were indescribably excited, and they didn't find their feelings in the five minutes when they first appeared, and finally relied on Wang Ai's accurate long-range shot to break the goal, and then came back to their senses.In the end, relying on the brave attack of young players, Laco barely managed to draw 2:2 with his opponent in this 24-game battle.And before this game, Barcelona had already beaten Mallorca 2:0!
