My perfect shot surprised the whole world

"Maybe it's my own illusion?"

Lin Ran thought with some uncertainty.

The next day, the newspaper published a message that Tarragona's coach Sampedro was directly fired by the club.

Lin Ran, who saw the news, sighed slightly in his heart and continued to train.

They also have a Copa del Rey round of [-] to play this Wednesday.

He really doesn't have time to focus on other things.

Chapter 164 Visiting Osasuna

On Wednesday, January 1, Atlético de Madrid came to the city of Pamplona in the autonomous region of Navarra.

They will play the first game of the knockout round of the Copa del Rey here with Osasuna.

Osasuna has a good record in recent years and ranked fourth in the league last season.Get a ticket to compete for the Champions League.

Although they eventually lost to the Bundesliga Hamburg team in the qualifying round and missed the Champions League match, they could only move to the UEFA Cup.

But for this team that was a newly promoted team a few years ago, the results are already impressive enough.

To be able to achieve such results, it is undeniable that their strength is very strong.

And the coach who led this team to such an eye-catching result was the Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre at this time.

So this time Atletico Madrid's visit to Osasuna is also Aguirre's first return after leaving here.

At the press conference before the game, the reporters also knew the significance of this game to Aguirre, so they all enthusiastically asked Aguirre questions.

"Mr. Aguirre, how do you feel about returning to your old club today?"

a reporter asked.

"It's a mixed feeling, but I'm now the coach of Atletico Madrid, and I'm more thinking about how to win this game."

Aguirre replied truthfully.

"Then what do you think of the prospect of this game? Do you think you can win this game?"

"Osasuna is very strong. It really takes a lot of effort to win them. My players and I will go all out. As for the final result, I'm afraid God doesn't know yet."

"Are you too humble? I heard that you said before that you want to win the Copa del Rey, but now it is the quarter-finals. You should be more confident."

Reporters began to play tricks.

"I said that our goal is to win the Copa del Rey, but I think the goals of other teams should be the same as mine. Otherwise, they would not use it to participate. I can only say that we will play every game with our hearts, As for the end result, it is up to fate."

Aguirre obviously didn't use the set, but played Tai Chi push hands.

"Hehe! Good luck to you then."

The reporter saw that he couldn't get too much information from Aguirre, so he turned around and started an interview with Osasuna coach Ziganda on the other side.

"Coach Chiganda, do you have anything to say about this game?"

"Coach Aguirre said just now that every team's goal is to win the Copa del Rey. This is true, because our team's goal is also the championship. So we will go all out to win."

The young coach Ziganda, who has just turned 40 this year, said in high spirits.

"That's great! Tonight we can see a wonderful match. How do you evaluate your opponent, Atletico Madrid?"

"Atletico Madrid is a good team. Although their league record in the past two seasons is not as good as ours, and they have not qualified for the European competition. But it is undeniable that they still have strengths that cannot be underestimated. We must be careful. to defeat them.”

Chiganda's words immediately excited the reporters.

Although he was praising Atletico Madrid on the surface, the meaning behind the words is very obvious, that is, although Atletico Madrid is good, it is still not as good as our Osasuna.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Aguirre who was on the side, but saw the other party's expression of nodding and acknowledging.

Seeing Aguirre's expression, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

This may sound harsh to the ears of other coaches, but Aguirre is different.

The reason why Osasuna has achieved good results in the past two years is inseparable from his leadership.

Now that Aguirre is gone, let's look at the results of Atletico Madrid and Osasuna this season.

Atletico Madrid is now ranked first in the league, while Osasuna is No.12 in the league.

This fully demonstrates the level of coaching ability of Aguirre and Ziganda.

So when Aguirre heard Chiganda's words, instead of being angry, he still had a happy expression.

The expressions of everyone naturally fell into the eyes of Chiganda who was on the side, and he understood after a little thought.

Then, his face immediately turned ugly.

What I accidentally said turned out to be a compliment to the other party and belittle myself.

It made him feel like he shot himself in the foot with a rock.

Seeing his expression, the reporter took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Chiganda, are you praising Mr. Aguirre's coaching level? The relationship between you must have been very good before?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Chiganda's face was completely darkened.

Have a good relationship with your sister!I just said hello, okay?

But he was not easy to get angry, so he had to say with a dry laugh: "Coach Aguirre is indeed a respectable coach. Our previous relationship was really... good, um... yes... good!"

What he said was good, but there was a forced smile on his face. I could hear anyone, the reluctance in his words

But hearing these words in Aguirre's ears moved him a little.He turned his head to look at Chiganda and said:

"Ansel, I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic. It seems that I blamed you wrongly before. I should apologize to you. I shouldn't have scolded you before."

Nani?what's the situation?There is a story between these two.

The reporters became interested in an instant.

"Mr. Aguirre, what did you say that you shouldn't scold the other party? Can you explain in detail?"

reporters asked.

Aguirre showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said: "It's really a bit embarrassing to say this. When I was coaching in Osasuna, Ansel was my assistant. I still have relatively high requirements for him. So sometimes it is inevitable to speak too much. So..."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that these two people still have this relationship.

But why did Ziganda look so unnatural on his face?

No one knew that Chiganda was gnashing his teeth in his heart at this moment.

This old bastard, who used to be a tyrant over himself, is now putting on a hypocritical face here.

It's abominable!

At the end of the press conference, Ziganda returned to the locker room with an ugly face, and gritted his teeth to the Osasuna players in front of him and said: "Today I want to make Atletico Madrid look good. No one is allowed to stay in the game for a while. Let's see some color!"

Hearing Chiganda's words, everyone was a little stunned, wondering what stimulated their head coach.

But seeing the somewhat ferocious face of the other party, no one dared to make trouble.

All silently nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Aguirre, who returned to the locker room, was full of spring breeze.

He was in a good mood and said to his disciples: "Give me a good kick for a while, and you must play our Atletico Madrid demeanor!"

"I'm going to teach that Chiganda guy a lesson. Look at how my team plays!"

Seeing the old man's high-spirited look, the players knew that they had overwhelmed each other at the press conference just now.

So everything snapped right.

The time soon came to [-] o'clock in the evening, and the knockout round of the King's Cup, Atletico Madrid's away game against Osasuna, officially kicked off.

Chapter 165

Osasuna's home stadium, the El Sardar Stadium, which can accommodate 8000 people, is full of seats in the stands.

As soon as the visiting team Atlético de Madrid made their appearance, the home team fans cheered and applauded, and they all shouted a name.

"Aguirre!"

"Aguirre!"

"Aguirre!"

……

The fans cheered and clapped.

They are using this way to welcome their once meritorious coach Aguirre home.

After hearing the cheers of the fans on the coach bench, Aguirre also stood up and raised his hands, waving to the fans in the stands.

This drew a more enthusiastic response from the fans at the scene.

"We saw the Osasuna fans applauding Atlético Madrid coach Aguirre."

"This kind of phenomenon is really rare, but it is understandable. After all, Aguirre just coached Osasuna last season and achieved historic results, ranking fourth in the league and getting a ticket to the Champions League."

"The fans miss him, and they should."

"Look at Osasuna's current results, No.12 in the league. With such a comparison, the fans have more reason to miss him."

Barbos, the host of Madrid TV Sports Channel, explained.

On the court, the opening ceremony has been completed at this time.

Players from both sides are already in place.

"beep!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

"Dear fans, welcome to the Copa del Rey [-]/[-] knockout match broadcast on Madrid TV, Atletico Madrid's away game against Osasuna."

Brabus's high-pitched voice sounded in the TV.

"First let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"The home team, Osasuna."
