Chapter 174: The Royal Team

Mallorca, with an area of 3,640 square kilometres, is full of sandy beaches, steep cliffs, fields of olive or almond trees, and many other natural landscapes. Because of the abundant sunshine, it has long been called the "paradise of the Mediterranean". Mallorca is located in the Mediterranean Sea between the coasts of Spain and North Africa. It's a place of beautiful beaches, endless sunshine, delicious food and a vibrant nightlife. On the island, you can take a sightseeing train with wooden carriages for a city tour, or board a romantic yacht in the Mediterranean to see the unique scenery of the Balearic region of the Mediterranean Straits, where the towering cliffs rise out of the crystal clear water, just like a natural witness to the beauty of a masculine man and a gentle woman. In terms of humanities, Xu Yun has already said that there is also the former residence of the Polish musician Chopin. More than 355 days a year out of 365 days in Mallorca are sunny, so they are especially popular with the British and Germans who live in overcast weather, so the island is more expensive than other cities in Spain. But at the same time, it has some of the most beautiful landscapes in Spain. Both the King of Spain and the British Crown Prince have holiday bases on the island.

Mallorca Palma Airport (SonSantJoan Airport) is the third largest airport in Spain, after Madrid Barajas Airport and Barcelona Airport, and is one of the busiest airports in the European region. The airport handles up to 12,000 passengers per hour, and even Germany's airline berlin has a hub here. So much so that Hansen, who flew directly from Barcelona to Mallorca, did not expect that there would be such a huge and complicated airport on this small island.

Walking out of the airport passage, a young Chinese girl with clear eyebrows and long hair hanging down her shoulders outside the railing waved at him: "Han Sen! Over here! ”

Han Sen hurriedly walked over: "Are you?" ”

The Chinese girl said: "My name is Liu Li, I am an international student at the Mallorca Piano Academy, I am from Anhui Province, and the Mallorca club hired me as your translator and life assistant in Mallorca for half a season. ”

"Oh!" Han Sen hurriedly said, "That's hard for you, but why are you just a girl!" The translator is easy to say, how inconvenient life is! And it will also affect your learning. ”

Liu Li hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, no, this year is the third year of my study in Mallorca, Spain, you can rent in Mallorca for half a year, and after half a year, I will graduate from graduate school, and I have finished all my classes." Come, here's today's newspaper, and I can already see you. ”

Liu Li stuffed Han Sen with a hand of newspapers as she spoke, all of which were in a completely incomprehensible language, but on the sports pages of several of the newspapers, the image of Han Sen standing in front of Barcelona's huge team emblem was slightly embedded in the middle of the text, and if you didn't look carefully, you didn't know that it was Han Sen himself.

Along the way, Liu Li also told Han Sen that due to Spanish law, international students like her can change their residence with a work contract after three years of student residence, and take precautions, Liu Li began to submit resumes everywhere very early, so it is very rare to get a translation job in the Mallorca Club, and now there are not a few international students in the same situation as her, in order to be able to stay, everyone needs a work contract, but after all, the contract is limited, and the people who can do these jobs are even more limited. Considering the pitiful number of foreigners in Chinese football, and considering the hundreds of teams in the five major European leagues, Han Sen came to Mallorca to play as a Chinese player, and Liu Li happened to be able to translate for Han Sen as an international student at the local piano academy, which is not a pie in the sky for Liu Li, who is eager to find a job in Spain for residence, and this pie simply fell from Mars to her head. And the salary is pitiful, 20,000 euros for half a year. Han Sen's 150,000 yuan in half a year feels a little poor, and compared to Liu Li, he still feels a little rich.

"It's not easy to go out." Han Sen sighed.

"No need to sigh, we're here." Liu Li reminded Han Sen that the two got out of the taxi with their bags, only to find that two middle-aged men in Mallorca training uniforms were waiting at the door.

"Hello, Han Sen, I'm Nora, the strength and conditioning coach of Mallorca FC, this is my assistant, since the team went to Villarreal to play La Liga, the head coach Manzano asked us to stay at the club and wait for you to come and report." Strength and conditioning coach Nora introduced herself.

In the final analysis, Han Sen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he went to Barcelona and rented himself out, but he was also received according to the standard all the way, although the first team also went out to play, but after all, he would not stay, and it was not a matter for others to guard him. When I came to Mallorca, I came to pick me up at the airport as a student interpreter, and I still took a taxi by myself, and when I arrived at the door of the club, I was still a physical trainer and assistant to pick me up.

"Let's take you to get to know the club briefly, and after lunch, the club's staff will take you to the place where you live." Nora said to Han Sen through Liu Li.

After lunch, Han Sen and Liu Li were bored and slept on the conference table in the club's reception room for a while, and then the club's staff who were in charge of the first reception came, led Han Sen and Liu Li to visit the club, and introduced the club to the two.

Real Mallorca Football Club was founded in 1916 and its full name is Real Mallorca Sports Club. Located in Palma de Mallorca. Its first official venue was called the Buenos Aires Stadium. Named "Real Mallorca" by King Alfonso VIII, the team is an established team with a long history. Mallorca won the second division in their early years, especially during the Spanish Civil War, and instead of perishing like some teams, they won almost all the awards.

The team was promoted to the first division for the first time in 1960 and has had several ups and downs since then, and in 1997 it was the seventh time that Zuihou was promoted to the first division. The best result of this period was reaching the final of the Copa del Rey for the first time in 1991. 1997-1998 was his best period, with a runner-up finish in the Copa del Rey under head coach Ecktor Kuper, followed by a victory over Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup. In 1999, he achieved another great result, finishing second in the European Cup Winners' Cup. As for La Liga, its all-time best is third, losing only to Barcelona and Real Madrid. In 2000, the team was named the eighth strongest team in Shijie in '99 by the Federation of Football History and Statistics.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Mallorca's results have always been in the middle of the pack. However, in the 2004/05 season, Mallorca went into a slump and by the winter break it was almost certain to be relegated. The club rehired the famous coach Cooper out of the mountain, and it was only then that Zuihou created a miracle of relegation.

In the Zuihou stage last season, the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona competed for the league title, in order to encourage Mallorca to stop Real Madrid from winning the championship in the Zuihou round, Barcelona even offered a third-party bonus, but Mallorca lost to Real Madrid in the first round last season, Mallorca lost at least 4 million euros in various rewards from Barcelona, and also lost the funds for the team to move in the summer transfer market. However, the team's manager Manzano wants the club's board of directors to promise that he is confident that he will complete the relegation burden of the new season without major signings, and even hopes to lead the team to the European competition next season. Mallorca are one of the few La Liga teams that are unbeaten in their warm-up games before the season, and there is more hope for them. Especially in the pre-season warm-up match, Mallorca also defeated Bayern Munich 3-0 against Han Sen's national Olympic team. But now halfway through the season, Mallorca is still hovering between nine and tenth, and the Copa del Rey has been eliminated early, and it seems that there is no desire. Leasing Han Sen, but in order to enrich the team Liliang, for the end of the season to sprint to the top six Europa League qualifications, one more option. Of course, these zuihou's words were naturally not the words of the staff, but Han Sen's own speculation.
