Chapter 36: Hope of "turning into a regular basis"

A big victory in the Sevilla derby, sweeping away the city's arch rivals. At the same time, Betis also avoided the fate of relegation two rounds ahead of schedule. This is obviously a very good result for Betis fans.

At least, after celebrating the derby victory, they do not need to fall into the tragedy of relegation immediately.

After the game, as Hiddink thought, he was not dismissed immediately, but because of the team's faint hope of relegation, he continued to stay in Betis's coach position.

The local media in Seville were all sighing that Betis was late. In fact, as long as they could have such momentum in the previous few key battles, they would not have to fall to the level of relegation.

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

The Sevilla media can only hope that the Sevilla two players can perform well in the Spanish Second Division next year and strive to return to La Liga as soon as possible!

...

The team won the derby, and Hiddink also gave the team a day off the next day.

When Tang Sen learned that Tang Feng was on holiday, he also called him home to have dinner.

Since Tang Sen and Wu Juan have only daughters and no sons, they have always treated Tang Feng as their own sons for the past few years when Tang Feng studied in Seville.

In fact, for Tang Feng, whose parents divorced since childhood, another memory in his mind felt at his cousin's house also made him very enjoyable. Therefore, when he had something to do or not, he also liked to go to his cousin's house to enjoy the warmth of his family.

After arriving at his cousin's house, Tang Feng came to the living room with a familiarity. He found that his little cousin Tang Yan was also staying at home honestly.

The girl was leaning against the sofa watching TV. She glanced at Tang Feng, but didn't say anything. Her mouth was so pouted that she could hang a kettle.

Judging from this attitude, who is she definitely losing her temper with?

"Hey, sister. Who is unhappy about you again?" Tang Feng sat next to Tang Yan and asked.

"Isn't your stinky cousin yet?" Tang Yan said angrily.

My stinky cousin? Tang Yan's answer made Tang Feng's mind turn around for a while before he understood. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Why don't you just say it's your dad? I've been thinking for a long time!"

"Hmph, I don't have such a father who doesn't love his daughter!" Looking at the expression of this girl, it seemed as if she and her father had a deep hatred.

"Oh my God, why did your dad offend you? You have decided to break off the relationship between father and daughter!" Tang Feng asked in an exaggerated tone.

"He...he didn't let me go to Barcelona to watch Eminem's concert. You must know that Eminem rarely comes to Spain!" When he talked about this, Tang Yan was swaying and looked crazy.

"Barcelona? It should be too far away. Your dad is worried about letting you go there alone!" Tang Feng said after thinking about it. Because Barcelona is in the northeast of Spain, while Sevilla is in the south. Going to Barcelona almost penetrates the entire Spain.

"I'm not a child anymore. What's wrong with this? I missed this time, I don't know how long I'll have to wait!" After saying this, Tang Yan's face changed from anger to frustration.

Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh at the fickle expression of this girl. Moreover, she was only fourteen years old, so why wasn't she a child?

Of course, although Tang Feng thought so in his heart, he could not say that. Children like Tang Yan have a rebellious personality and should not treat her like a child, otherwise it will only arouse her rebellious mentality. So he followed Tang Yan's words and comforted him: "Don't be angry, Yan Yan. When your brother makes a lot of money, no matter where Eum holds a concert, he will take you to see it once. How about it?"

"Really?" Hearing Tang Feng's words, Tang Yan immediately turned around with excitement.

"Really!" Tang Feng nodded with a smile.

"No matter where?" Tang Yan continued to ask.

"No matter where!" Tang Feng nodded again.

"But... I heard from my dad that you are just an interpreter now. When will you make a lot of money?" Tang Yan's excited expression did not last long, and she immediately said with a frustration on her face.

After listening to Tang Yan's words, Tang Feng felt very hurt...

Yes, when will I make a lot of money? As a time traveler, I have been doing too badly, right? Tang Feng thought helplessly.

At this moment, Tang Yan seemed to have figured out something again and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, maybe one day you will get lucky? Brother, I remember what you said. Don't cheat on me!"

Uh, what does it mean to get rich if you get lucky? Tang Feng once again said that he was very hurt, but he still had to give a positive answer: "Don't worry, your brother, I will do what he said!"

"Yeah, it's great! Brother, you're much better than my dad!" After Tang Feng agreed, Tang Yan jumped on the sofa excitedly and cheered. After cheering, she knelt on the sofa and kissed Tang Feng's face!

This really caught Tang Feng off guard. This girl is too enthusiastic, right? I’m afraid she learned these bad habits of foreigners because she grew up in a foreign country. How could she kiss others at any time? But let’s just kiss me, after all, I’m her brother!

...

After Tang Sen helped Wu Juan in the kitchen, she walked out of the kitchen and saw Tang Yan cheering. She smiled and looked at Tang Feng: "Xiaofeng, you are still great. This girl has been having trouble with me all day long. She insisted on going to the concert of that American gangster, and it was far away in Barcelona. If I didn't let her go, she ignored me. She also said she would break off the father-daughter relationship with me. Now, as soon as you come, you will immediately make it clear!"

"He is not an American gangster, he is an gangster!" Tang Yan corrected Tang Sen's words.

"Didn't he come from the United States and only curse swearing in songs?" Tang Sen obviously did some homework in order to understand his daughter's hobbies.

"What do you know? That's the real rap spirit! He is one of the few white rappers in the world who can become famous!" Tang Yan seemed very dissatisfied with Tang Sen's ridicule of her idol, and corrected her again.

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to have a good time again, Tang Feng quickly stood up and smoothed out: "Haha, cousin, Yanyan, you can just say less. Those who know you know you are father and daughter, and those who don't know think you are enemies."

"Hey, others say that my daughter is my father's lover in his previous life, and she is my father's caring little cotton jacket. But I didn't feel this in my daughter..." Tang Sen shook his head helplessly and said.

"Hmph, I wouldn't have had a lover like you in my previous life. I have no taste at all!" Tang Yan also said angrily.

...

Tang Feng originally wanted to stop the father and daughter from falling apart, but who knew that it caused a new round of mutual complaints. Fortunately, at this time, Wu Juan walked out of the kitchen with vegetables and called on everyone to have a meal, which made the father and daughter calm down.

As soon as they arrived at the dinner table, Tang Feng and Tang Sen, the uncle and nephew, began to discuss the situation of the team again.

Perhaps because the team is about to be relegated and Tang Sen is in a bad mood, he also poured a glass of wine for Tang Feng and himself.

"Hey, I didn't expect the team to have come this far." Tang Sen said with a bitter look on his face as he took a glass.

Tang Sen is a fan. When he first came to Sevilla to work hard, he became a Betis fan. Later, when the club was in crisis, he invested in helping without hesitation. Unlike Chairman Lopela, he paid for the club's shares, but he did not seek fame or profit, but it was entirely out of love for Betis.

Therefore, the reality that the club is about to be relegated is obviously unacceptable to him.

"In theory, in recent seasons, our club's investment in the transfer market and the reputation of the coaches we hired is no worse than other teams. Why is the results getting worse and worse?" Before Tang Feng could speak, Tang Sen said to himself.

Tang Feng could feel the helplessness in Tang Sen's tone. Now, he is also a member of Betis and has become a fan of this team. Therefore, he is also very helpless about the reality that the team is about to be relegated.

"Uncle, things have come to this point. We can only think carefully about next season." Tang Feng also took a sip of wine and said.

"Yes. After the team is relegated, it is inevitable that they will be divided. I'm afraid these stars in the team can't be kept." Tang Sen nodded and said.

"Actually, this is not a completely bad thing for the team. If it weren't for relegation, the club would probably have difficulty making up their minds to rebuild. Look at the team's current lineup. More than half of the main players in the team are nearly thirty or even over thirty. It's already time for blood exchange. But if it wasn't for relegation, the team would definitely not be able to make up their minds to clean up these players. After the second division, young players like Joaquin can also get more opportunities to perform!" Tang Feng analyzed seriously.

"That's right. The problem is that there is only one genius like Joaquin in the team. If a large number of main players leave the team, they can only rebuild a lineup next season. The running-in period alone will take some time, which will be very unfavorable for the team's re-upgrade." Tang Sen replied helplessly.

If I were asked to be the head coach, I could dig a large number of geniuses like Joaquin! Tang Feng thought in his heart, but he could only echo: "In fact, the key is that the team must be able to find a coach who dares to use new players to lead the team to rebuild. Otherwise, if the team can return to Class A, I will buy some old fry. Then the team will miss an opportunity for reconstruction!"

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Tang Sen took a sip of wine and frowned and thought. He found that, as Tang Feng said, many teams will indeed find some players with good strength but older age after being relegated. These players can fight as soon as possible and can help the team achieve good results in the Spanish Second Division. However, when the team returns to La Liga, the strength of these players will be insufficient, or they will start to decline due to their age. In this way, the team has to find a replacement for them, which is obviously very unfavorable to the team's development.

A coach who dares to use new players? Lead a team that is determined to return to La Liga next season. Which coach dares to use a large number of new players? Thinking of this, Tang Sen shook his head helplessly again.

"By the way, I heard that Joaquin was recommended to Hiddink by you?" When talking about Joaquin, Tang Sen raised this question.

"Yes, Denilson was injured at that time. The team needed a good left forward. I happened to have followed the game of Team B and found that Joaquin from Team B was very good. So I recommended him to Hiddink." Tang Feng casually made up an explanation.

"I didn't expect you to have a good look at people! Unfortunately, you are a little younger and have no experience. Otherwise, I might recommend you to be the coach of the team." Tang Sen said to Tang Feng with a satisfied smile.

When Tang Feng heard Tang Sen say this, he was a little anxious. He didn't want to wait any longer. So he said seriously: "Cousin. Actually, if I can lead the team, I am confident that I will bring the team back to the First League next season!"

Looking at Tang Feng's serious expression, Tang Sen knew that he was not joking. In fact, he had been paying attention to Tang Feng's performance in the team. He also lit up because of Tang Feng's performance again and again, and felt that his cousin had the talent to be a coach.

But in his opinion, Tang Feng has no experience in leading the team after all, so it may be a bit of a boost to help him become the head coach too early. In this way, once he encounters a painful failure, the shadow on him may affect him for the rest of his life.

"Xiaofeng, it's a good thing to have confidence. But I still think you should follow the steps and take it step by step. The coaching industry requires talent, you have, but also experience! This is what you lack. Besides, I don't have the final say in the club. If I want to force you to put you in the position of coach, not to say whether the chairman and team members agree, even if they agree, you probably have to rely on your relationship to climb to the position of coach!" Tang Sen advised patiently.

Tang Sen's words made Tang Feng feel a little disappointed. As Tang Sen said, he was just a shareholder of the team, not the chairman. He was just an unknown person. Even if he really allowed himself to climb to the position of coach, it would be difficult to convince the public.

Seeing that Tang Feng became depressed because of his words, Tang Sen was also a little unbearable. So he thought about it and said, "Xiao Feng, don't be discouraged. After the next round of the game, if we can't beat Alaves, the team will be relegated one round in advance. In this way, Hiddink will automatically terminate the contract with the team. At that time, he and his coaching staff will leave the team. You are the only coach left by the coaching staff. Anyway, that game is irrelevant. This may be an agent coach for you. If you seize the opportunity of that game, like the fans and clubs prove yourself, maybe you have the chance to win you the coach position next season?"

The reason why Tang Sen said this is a bit of comforting Tang Feng. After all, the opponent in the last round of the game is Real Madrid. And they still need to compete for the qualification for the Champions League next season, and they will definitely play with the strongest strength. Even if Tang Sen trusts Tang Feng very much, he doesn't think that Tang Feng can lead the team to compete with Real Madrid.

However, when Tang Feng heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent. So he said excitedly: "Cousin, why not make a bet. If, in the last game, I will lead the team to defeat Real Madrid, you can help me win the position of coach next season, how about it?"

After hearing Tang Feng's confident words, Tang Sen couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tang Feng took it for granted. However, he still encouraged Tang Feng: "Xiaofeng, let alone defeat Real Madrid. Even if you can lead the team to get a draw with Real Madrid, I will help you win the team's coach position?"

The reason why Tang Sen gave such a positive answer is his own reliance. First of all, he does not think that Tang Feng can lead the team that has been confirmed to be relegated to score points on the powerful Real Madrid. Secondly, even if Tang Feng really scores points on Real Madrid, he only promised to help Tang Feng win the position of coach who loves the season, and without guarantee that he will definitely become the coach of the team.

It’s just a struggle. After all, I am not the team chairman. If I fight for it, the board of directors can also reject its opinions.

Tang Feng didn't consider the mystery in Tang Sen's words at all. He only knew that Tang Sen agreed to his request and took the initiative to reduce the difficulty for him, which made her very excited.

In fact, he regretted it when he said that just now. After all, it was very difficult to lead such a team to defeat Real Madrid, who was going to fight for the Champions League.

According to Tang Sen, as long as you get a draw, the difficulty will be much smaller. Although this is still a very difficult task, Tang Feng at least saw hope!

So, he also raised his glass and said to Tang Shusen: "Cousin, we are determined. My cousin and aunt are here, so don't break your promise."

"Well, I'll testify to my cousin! Dad, you can't cheat!" Tang Yan also echoed. Although she didn't know what Tang Sen and Tang Feng were talking about, Tang Feng promised to take her to Eminem's concert just now, so she naturally had to show her "loyalty" at this time.

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng. Your cousin has been doing business for so many years, and he can't guarantee anything else, but integrity is absolutely guaranteed! What I say will definitely do!" Tang Feng also raised his cup very generously, touched Tang Feng, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, I'll thank my cousin first!" After that, Tang Feng also raised his cup and drank it all!

"You uncle and nephew, why do you drink so quickly? Eat more vegetables!" Wu Juan, who was standing beside her, didn't know what her husband and Tang Feng were discussing, but she saw that they both finished drinking the wine in the cup in one sip, and said worriedly.

"Well, the wine is over. Eat the food, eat the food!" Tang Sen also said in accordance with his wife's words.

Seeing the hope of "turning into a regular basis", Tang Feng was in a good mood and naturally would not be polite, so he started a big sweep of the food on the table...

ps: Well, after lying in the position of translator and assistant coach for so long, Tang Feng finally saw the hope of "turning into a regular basis".
