Chapter 2005 Change blood, please start by yourself

"competition is over!"

As the referee blew three whistles, Turias' substitute players rushed onto the court, hugged and cheered with their teammates, and celebrated their hard-won three points on the way to relegation!

Only Turias players and fans cheered in 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

At home, the Madrid Pirates lost to Turias, who ranked seventeenth in the league.

The Madrid Pirates players who lost the game left the field quickly, and they were unwilling to be the "background board" for the celebrating Turias players.

Head coach Ettore Parotti also hurriedly shook hands with the Turias head coach before turning and walking into the tunnel.

The Italian coach appeared in the TV broadcast with his head bowed and a slightly stooped figure.

The voice of the commentator Alvarez Sanchez sounded:

"In order to prepare for the Champions League quarter-round match against Catalina in the middle of next week, Parotti made a very large adjustment to the starting lineup in this league, and even Hu did not start... So for now I think he should be prepared for this result.

"After losing this game, they are eleven points behind the top-ranked King Madrid in the league. With six rounds left in the league, this point difference makes the Pirates want to win the league championship. Possible task'. Of course, even at the cost of giving up the league, the Madrid Pirates want to reverse the Catalan United and advance to the semi-finals, it is also an 'impossible task'...

"Parotti's pirate career has probably reached the most dangerous time... For the first time in the last seven seasons, the Pirates are facing a disappointing season without a single championship... and there is a more serious problem - the qualification for the Champions League next season. Currently ranked third, they are only two points ahead of the fifth-placed Sevilla Navigators and one point ahead of the fourth-placed Valentia. If they cannot win the Champions League qualification for next season, it will be the best for the Madrid Pirates. A major failure. It even means the end of the era of pirates..."

※※※

Samuel Leray, general manager of the Madrid Pirates, frowned at coach Ettore Parrotti, who sat 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 Le Ray who had suggested this meeting.

After missing the league championship and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, Le Rey believes that the team's management and coach should agree on the goals of this season.

Is it a desperate move in the Champions League, or keep the top four in the league and keep the qualification for the Champions League next season?

But the first sentence Parrotti said caught Le Lei by surprise.

"I'm going to resign," the Italy head coach said.

This made Le Lei couldn't help thinking: Is Parrotti threatening the club?

Seeing Le Lei's expression, Parotti knew that he had misunderstood himself, so he explained: "Of course 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. Champions League qualification. But after doing that, I will leave the team."

Le Lei frowned and said: "Ettore, I really want to discuss with you how to solve the team's current predicament...Don't listen to those rumors outside, the club has never considered replacing you..."

He lied, because in the middle of last week, when the team lost 0:2 away to Catalan United, half of their body was hanging on the edge of the cliff, there was indeed a secret meeting within the club management to discuss whether to Give Parotti an ultimatum: If the team is eliminated by the Catalan United in the Champions League quarter-finals, then he will be dismissed.

However, the meeting did not reach a conclusion in the end.

It's just that I want Le Lei to communicate with Parrotti again, mainly to draw a conclusion from the conversation:

As the head coach, Parotti still has enough control over the team and whether he has a clear plan for the future of the team.

If the answer is no, then even if you don't want to, you must consider changing coaches.

If Parotti still has an idea, then just take it one step at a time, at least don't rush to fire him immediately after being eliminated from the Champions League. That would make the club appear too ruthless.

Although it is the practice of many teams to do so. This kind of thing happens to the king is normal, and it doesn't even attract media attention. But if it happened to the Madrid Pirates, I'm afraid it will cause cynicism from the media and protests from the fans.

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, Parrotti still has a two-year contract with the club. If he is fired early, the club will have to pay Parrotti the salary of the next two years as compensation—unless he finds a new club at the speed of light.

So in fact, Le Lei is not completely lying. He is indeed here to solve the problem this time, not to solve the problematic person.

Who would have thought that Parotti would be in place in one step, planning to solve himself.

Hearing Le Lei's words, Parotti smiled slightly: "I'm just solving the problem. Because I, the head coach, should be responsible for the team's current situation. This doesn't just mean that I should be responsible for the team's poor results, but also Said that in order to completely solve the problem today, I should leave, otherwise there is no way to solve the problem.

"What's the problem with the Pirates this season? In fact, we all know that this team has not changed when it is time to change. But why not change? Oh, it's not that there is no change. The club has also introduced some young players. , but they played very little time under me. The criticism of me in the media is correct, to be honest, I really don’t trust those young people..."

Samuel Lerey twitched his mouth when he heard Parotti say that.

Don't look at the time when Parotti coached the team, it was the most brilliant time for the club, but it doesn't mean that the two sides are close and there is no conflict.

At first it was indeed the honeymoon period, the two sides were intimate, respected each other, cooperated tacitly, and cooperated happily.

But after Parotti led the team to win three consecutive Champions League titles, this honeymoon period is over.

After the restructuring of the Champions League, let alone three consecutive championships, there is no successful defense.

And this history, in front of Parotti's Madrid pirates, was completely broken.

Even the "good guy" Parotti with a meek personality has ambitions 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 the club's signings, but he had no right to make decisions.

Now he wants to have more say in the transfer of players and completely control all aspects of the team.

But the 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 English football, which used to be under the "manager responsibility system", few now hand over the transfer power to the head coach. Especially for Premier League teams, the head coach is the "Coach" instead of the "Manager" who used to have all the power.

After three consecutive Champions League matches, the club began to consider gradually updating the lineup.

But the problem is that the players introduced by the club are not what the head coach wants.

Parrotti wants to introduce a defensive midfielder to gradually replace captain Juan Ramirez.

But the club believes that Ramirez is the spiritual totem of the club and cannot be easily moved. In addition, they feel that the team's second captain Joaquin Bella can perfectly replace Ramirez.

But in Parotti's plan, Joaquin Bella is the panacea in the midfield, and what he needs is a pure defensive engineer.

The club did not choose to introduce engineers, but spent a huge sum of money to introduce the 17-year-old Argentine left winger Nestor Farias at a price of 80 million euros-of course, this transfer fee is divided into four years. It was all given away, but it still caused a sensation in European football.

Farias became famous at a young age, and already became famous in Argentina at the age of fifteen, attracting the attention of European giants.

The Madrid Pirates were able to sign Farias ahead of the Kings of Madrid, Catalan United, Tramed, Stan Park Rangers, Blue and White Munich, etc. It is entirely possible for the club general manager Samuel Le Lei has been playing beautifully for a long time.

In particular, he succeeded in defeating his city rival King Madrid. You must know that the star of the King of Madrid is Argentina's number one star Meli Banega. For Farias, who is also an Argentine player, he should be more attractive. The King also thinks so, so they sent Mellie went to work as a lobbyist.

In the end, Farias chose the king's sworn enemy, the Madrid pirates.

As a result, Nestor Farias became the most expensive Argentine player under the age of 18.

Farias, who came to the Madrid Pirates, was put on the B team by Parrotti to play in the Spanish second division B league - the third Spanish league.

At that time, Farias was thin and lacked the ability to confront. Although he had outstanding skills and could play football with his feet, it was difficult for him to play directly in a rich team with a mature lineup like the Madrid Pirates, so let him Going to the B team to play games is not a big problem.

In the B team, Farias performed very well, and he proved that the talent that can be snapped up by the European giants is not for nothing.

Although he was a rookie, he became the absolute main force of the B team as soon as he came up.

After one season, he scored 34 goals in La Liga, assisted six times, and made a total of 40 goals.

He helped the Madrid Pirates B team win the league championship of the second division B, and advanced to the second division as the champion.

The media praised Farias' performance in the B team.

Throughout the 2031-2032 season, although Farias played in West Division B, his name appeared in the media many times.

Some media described Farias' playing in West Division B as a "dimensionality reduction blow". He should not play in West Division B, but should go directly to La Liga. He also euphemistically criticized Parotti for being too conservative in using Farias. For such a super talent, it is a waste of money to let him adapt to European football in the B team step by step!

Others said that the joining of Farias allowed the Madrid Pirates to find the key to continue the team's dominance in Europe.

The Argentine media praised Farias' performance, claiming that Nestor Farias will become the leader of the new era after Meli, Houlei and Kabanka.

Argentine fans are beginning to look forward to the 2034 World Cup in China. By then, Farias, who has been fully trained and grown in the Madrid Pirates, will form the most threatening offensive line in world football with Meli. Farias will also be the final piece of the puzzle for Argentina 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 Hou Lai and Camara, and step on the entire European football world.

But after a successful B-team season, Turias was promoted to the first team as he wished, but not quite.…

Although he was registered by the first team in the squad for the league and the Champions League, he rarely got the chance to play.

More often, he trains in the first team, but on weekends he has to go to the B team to play in the second division...

In the first half of the 2032-2033 season, various rumors surrounding Farias began to fly.

Today he said he was excluded from 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 seeking a loan or transfer.

It was supposed to be a proud stroke of his career, but after such a toss, it seems like a big failure in the career of the club's general manager Samuel Leray...

The club put pressure on Parotti, hoping that he could give Efarias more opportunities.

Parotti did not have any disputes or conflicts with the club, but followed suit and immediately let Farias start.

But Farias didn't play well in the first game, maybe he was too excited.

Fortunately, in that game, the performance of the rest of the team was not affected by Farias. With Hou Lai's two goals, they still won the ball.

However, when Farias started for the second time in a row, the team lost the ball, and Farias still did not show a very impressive performance.

In the third game, Farias sat on the bench. The Pirates eventually won the game.

So the lineup returned to the one that Parotti was most familiar with.

Farias can only play in some insignificant games or time.

Especially when playing important games, key battles and tough battles, Parotti still trusts his old subordinates more, and is unwilling to entrust important tasks to young players represented by Nestor Farias.

Unless someone gets hurt.

In this way, Farias finished his first season in La Liga awkwardly.

His situation seems to have ushered in a turning point this season-at the beginning of the season, the main left midfielder and left winger Cardoso Tonini was injured and missed three months of games.

During these three months of competition, Parotti had to Farias.

In the first three months of the season, the Argentine winger scored six goals and assisted once in all competitions. Considering he's only nineteen, that's an impressive statistic.

His potential is indeed very good. If he can fully realize his talent, the transfer fee of 80 million euros is actually not expensive at all.

But such a report card did not allow Farias to stabilize the team's main force.

After Tonini recovered from injury, he actually played a rotation with Tonini-some games Tonini started, some games Farias started. And the more important the game, the more Parotti trusted Tonini.

Since then, there have been more and more rumors that Farias was not happy in the 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 broke out.

Shortly after the Pirates of Madrid lost, Farias' social media accounts liked a fan's statement.

Here's what the tweet said:

"If Parotti had started Farias, the Pirates would have beaten Catalan away, but he didn't, so the Pirates lost. This is entirely the responsibility of the head coach Parrotti, who should resign voluntarily!"

To be honest, such an angry message was not uncommon when the team lost an away game to Catalan United and the hope of promotion was slim, because at that time, many Pirates fans expressed their anger and dissatisfaction in various ways, which made Par There was also the sound of Rorty dismissing get out of class.

What this fan said was no big deal.

But the problem is... Farias gave a thumbs up!

Although the Argentine canceled the like after an hour, it was still saved by screenshots and re-uploaded on the Internet, causing an uproar.

Farias' online social media account later issued a statement explaining that his sister had taken his phone and that the like was ordered by his sister, not him. This is just a prank and does not represent his true opinion. In any case, he always respected the team's head coach, Mr. Ettore Parrotti.

However, many Madrid Pirates fans did not buy it. They called on the club to punish Farias. Some people said that the club should sell Farias. He was just a spoiled brat in Argentina.

But there were also those who sided with Farias. They understand Farias venting his emotions. After all, Parotti did not treat Farias fairly-he had performed well at the beginning of the season, but suddenly became a rotation player. No one can bear this matter.

Besides, in the first round match against Catalan United, Tonini, who started the game, did not perform very well. Otherwise, why would he be replaced by Farias in the 60th minute?

Farias is still very **** the field, it can be seen that he wants to score. If Parotti can give him more playing time, even if he can't really win the game as the netizen said, at least he won't be "shaved head".

0:2 and 1:2 are completely different, one ball may be able to decide life or death.

Obviously Parotti himself knew the problem, but he just didn't change it. He would rather drag the team into the abyss of being eliminated than change it.

That being the case, don't blame Farias for not being able to suppress the fire. After all, Farias is not yet twenty years old, so how could he not be young and energetic?

Since the beginning of this season, due to Farias' outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, the attitude towards him has gradually divided the fans of the Madrid Pirates.

Within the team, there were also conflicts.

Farias is the representative of the interests of the "newcomers" who have joined the team one after another after three consecutive championships, while the old players are on the side of coach Parotti.

Of course, the conflicts within the team are not as obvious as among the fans. On the surface, everyone still has to maintain the harmony of the team. At least they can't really make a scene in the locker room and fight, right?

It's just that everyone knows who is on which side.

At this point in the story, it seems that Parotti is the culprit who caused the team to fall into the quagmire, and is the stubborn and conservative villain representative in this story.

But there is another side to this story, the B side.

Nestor Farias is just the only bright spot in the club's recent signings.

Moreover, Farias is also a well-known young talent, which does not prove Le Lei's vision, but only proves that his transfer operation method is indeed very powerful, and he can sign so many top talents who are competing for by so many giants.

The signings in other positions are a bit hard to describe...

So far, Ramirez's successor has not been found.

If you want Joaquin Bella to replace Ramirez, you have to find someone who can replace Joaquin Bella and leave the vacancy, right?

I didn't find it either.

The successor he found for central defender Riva Moreno turned out to be a glass man. After joining the team for two seasons, he only played 12 times for the team, and spent the rest of the time recovering from his injuries. A salary of 800,000 euros…

So that Parotti had to continue to let the 37-year-old Riva Moreno play the main force.

So why until now, there are still so many fans supporting Parotti?

Because everyone can see how well the club's signings work.

They ridiculed the Madrid Pirates for "signing with their feet", and did not think that the current situation of the team was the responsibility of the head coach Parotti, and the club management should take greater responsibility.

Parotti noticed the small movements of Le Lei's mouth, and he laughed: "I'm not mocking you, Samuel. At this time, it doesn't make sense who is right and who is wrong, and I can't say that I am right ... Farias is a good player, his talent is really outstanding, I do have a problem with him... I will go to him and talk to him alone, you don't have to worry about him anymore. "

Samuel Leray sighed when he heard the words: "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 his treatment of Farias was wrong...he was unwilling to argue with himself about this matter.

Why?

Because there is no need to argue, anyway, he will not continue to coach the team, so what's 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 at the end of this season. Of course I promise Let this team keep the top four in the league... I am still confident in this point, 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 king of Madrid, with 79 points.

The second-placed Cathay-Thailand United had 75 points.

The third place is the Madrid Pirates, with 68 points.

Valentia is fourth with 67 points.

The fifth place is the Sevilla Navigator, with 66 points.

The sixth place is Vizcaya Athletic, with 64 points.

Competition is fierce.

Hu Lai has currently scored 30 goals in the league~lightnovelpub.net~ temporarily ranking first in the league's scorer list.

Some media have calculated that without Hu Lai's 30 goals, the Madrid Pirates' league points would be 21 points less than they are now.

What is the concept of twenty-one points less?

Forty-seven points can only rank ninth in the current league standings.

Not to mention the Champions League, there is no qualification for the Europa League, not even the UEFA Europa League.

After being silent for a while, Le Lei suddenly asked: "If... if we can reach an agreement on the transfer, is it..."

Parotti shook his head before he finished speaking, "Then I won't either. Samuel, I have coached this team for nine seasons and won all the honors a club head coach can get. To be honest, I myself lack motivation to continue to lead this team into a new era. The problems of this season, in the final analysis, may also be caused by my loss of motivation..."

Finally he said firmly:

"This team should have been cleaned and replaced a long time ago, so it is reasonable to start with me as the head coach."
