Chapter 71 Did you win?

After returning to the hotel, Frankfurt head coach Funkel could almost describe it as an angry roar, pointing at the noses of the five unlucky guys and cursing, the entire hotel could hear the sound coming from the rooms where the Frankfurt players stayed The roar made the hotel's security have to run over to remind the furious Funkel that it affected other guests.

After the reprimand, Funkel looked at the guys with drooping heads, "Until the day after tomorrow's game, except to adapt to the field training, you are not allowed to go out of the hotel, and reflect on it."

A few guys stared wide-eyed and thought they would be suspended for at least a few rounds. Could it be that this incident passed lightly like this?

However, Funkel's next sentence made the guy who just felt like he had survived the catastrophe worry again, "I will settle accounts with you when I return to Frankfurt."

After saying this, the head coach of Frankfurt slammed the door, turned his head and left, as if venting all his anger on that door.

"God, we're finished..." Nick with a big mouth sighed. It was not easy for him to enter the roster for this game.

Jones, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "What are you afraid of, let's talk about it when we go back to Frankfurt. Maybe there is still a chance to play in this game."

Although Jones said so, none of them, including Li Rui, were so optimistic.

At this time, the door was pushed open again, and an angry Funkel rushed in, looked at the five guys who were staring at him dumbfounded, and immediately asked, "Did you win?"

Several people were stunned, only the Brazilian reacted faster, he glanced at Li Rui, remembered the scene of Li Rui chasing and beating that guy, swallowed his saliva, nodded to the head coach, "I won. "

Snapped! !

Funkel got an affirmative answer, took another look at the guys, slammed the door, and left.

In the room, there were 5 people, dumbfounded. Finally, the big mouthed Nick Furmore whistled, "COLL! I swear, I'm starting to like this gentleman..."

**********
In another room, Frankfurt coach Funkel and assistant coach Manninger are having a quarrel.

"Friedhelm, I think your treatment of those guys is too loose." Manninger thought of those guys, the day after tomorrow, before the big battle with Leverkusen, they still had thoughts and ideas. When other people fight, he gets angry. Manninger, who is in his 60s, is a standard German. He is serious, meticulous and strict in his work. In his opinion, these guys who dare to fight will be banned one by one. , and then a high fine is imposed, and one will never be wronged!

Funkel shrugged, "Tony, what do you want to do? Fine? God, I don't think Lee's bonus for half a season is enough for you to fine."

Funkel was not wrong. The Frankfurt club was really stingy at the time. Li Rui's goal award of 100 euros for each goal and 50 euros for assists was really shabby. Speaking of it, Manninger is also dark-faced, and it is difficult to say anything. At that time, he was also involved in Li Rui's cheap part-time contract. At that time, Manninger did not believe that a Chinese rookie player could contribute to the team. What kind of help did Frankfurt bring? He regarded this as the nonsense of the club's acting head coach Rolf Domen at the time.

…………

"LEE was provoked by racially discriminatory words." Funkel pointed out this point, and Manninger remained silent. The Germans did a good job on this point. Although, after World War II, there was still racial discrimination in Germany Ideology exists, but it is limited to a few racists. Most Germans can still face up to history, truly remember history, and admit mistakes. These are much better than the guy from a certain island country.

…………

"Friedhelm, are you going to substitute them in the game against Leverkusen?" After asking this question, Manninger regretted it. This question is really stupid. Reese is the main left back of the team, Christopher Preus is also indispensable in the midfield, as for Jones and Li Rui, at least one of the two should be on the bench to replace the suspension Giannis the Greek, only the position of Nick Furmore is not important.

Unexpectedly, Funkel nodded simply, "I plan to let LEE and Jones start. I think these two guys will have a tacit understanding, don't you, Tony?"

Manninger just wanted to nod.He suddenly realized that his mouth was wide open. LEE and Jones have a tacit understanding. How is this possible? Although there is no major conflict between the two, they are definitely not friendly.

"Friedhelm, are you sure? I don't think there will be sparks between the two of them." Manninger frowned.

"Didn't they cooperate well when they fought today?" Funkel said something that made Manninger dumbfounded.

"Tony, let me tell you the truth. If it weren't for what happened tonight, I still wouldn't be able to make up my mind to pair LEE with Jones. Don't you think there is something missing in this Frankfurt team?" Without waiting for Manninger to answer, Funkel went on to say, "It's the blood, it's the impact. In the last league game, we drew with Bayern Munich. Is it really the true strength of the team? No, it was an accident, whether it was Heathfield or us. The result that none of our own players expected... If we played 100 more games against Bayern Munich, we would lose 99 times. Now, we must, need a real victory to gather the morale of the team! !"

Manninger didn't speak, he was savoring Funkel's words. Although Manninger is conservative, it doesn't mean he won't think about it. He began to feel that the club chose the head coach who led Cologne to relegation successfully last season. It seems that it was not a hasty decision.

Seeing that Manninger was thinking, but didn't jump out to object immediately, Funkel laughed, "Tony, why don't we make a bet?"

"What's the bet?" Manninger looked up suspiciously.

"Bet on the spark of love between LEE and Jones?" Funkel rolled his eyes.

Manninger pretended to frown, "This is not a good thing, then our team will be more famous than The-Crying-Game (crying game)." [Note: The film is a 1992 British classic The gay feature film has far-reaching influence in Europe...]

Regarding the use of Jones, Funkel also communicated with Manninger before. It is a pity not to use this talented German under-21 national team international. When relegation is the top priority, the coaching staff Decided to start reusing Jones. After all, once relegated, let alone Jones, half of the team will be sold off to make up for the loss caused by the relegation.

In addition, although there is still a little doubt about Li Rui's ability, but because of the amazing performance of Li Rui in the last round of the league, Manninger also retained his own experience. Performance speaks for itself.

…………

Funkel and Manninger put this topic aside, and began to watch and analyze Leverkusen's recent league matches. In this game, Frankfurt's defense will face a lot of pressure. Look at Leverkusen Mori's attack group——

Schneider, LaMelo, Basturk, Neuville, Berbatov...

Of course, Leverkusen's defense is definitely top-notch in the Bundesliga. The goalkeeper is the famous "penalty goalkeeper" Bout in the Bundesliga. Theo, the other central defender is Juan, the borderline international of the Brazilian team, and the left back is the Argentine Placente. In addition, on the bench, there is also the German international Fritz...

Therefore, the league deputy squad leader Frankfurt is visiting the most terrifying home stadium in the Bundesliga, the Bayer Arena, to face the No.2 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Almost all critics are not optimistic about Frankfurt. Frankfurt will even be massacred in the Bayer-Arena...

…………

Looking at the time, it was already midnight, and it was time for Frankfurt's coaches to rest. At this time, Manninger suddenly asked, "Did those guys win?"

Funkel froze for a moment, then laughed, "I won..."

"Haha, let that damn critic go to hell." Manninger stretched his waist, and the old man yelled loudly, as if he had fought with the Leverkusen people and won...

However, that fight seems to have been won... At least, Li Rui won.
