Chapter 212 This is to do something
"What did you think about the King's Cup?" the fat man asked Fang Jue.
"King's Cup?" Fang Jue was stunned. When he saw Li Zihua, Miss Papa and Ms. Roberta looking at him expectantly, he smiled, "You don't have any ideas about the King's Cup, right?"
Fang Jue was very surprised. He didn't understand who gave the fat man the courage to actually want to "take the lee from the fire" in the King's Cup. Fang Jue has confidence in his team, but that is only limited to the Spanish Second Division. With Ibiza's state and strength, he is sure to strive for the La Liga goal. But, huh, the King's Cup?
"It is difficult to continue moving forward. Moreover, Ibiza does not have the strength to fight on both sides at present." Fang Jue said the truth, not to mention continuing to move forward in the Copa del Rey, it is Spain that will soon encounter in the quarterfinals. This is a very powerful enemy. The third place in the La Liga is currently ranked only one point less than Barcelona. With such a powerful opponent, Ibiza is difficult to chew on now.
The fat man showed a little disappointed expression.
"Hey hey hey, don't you really want to?" Fang Jue raised his voice and said.
"I have this idea." The fat man sighed, "But you are right, I have some delusions."
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Fang Jue asked curiously. The club has never made any requests for the King's Cup, so why did he suddenly think of causing trouble in the King's Cup.
"The team just eliminated Huelva, which gave me unrealistic ideas." The fat man sighed, "If we can really continue to move forward in the Cup of Kings, let alone win the championship, it will be a big help to the semi-finals. Even if we reach the quarter-finals, it will be of great help to expand Ibiza's club image and influence."
Fang Jue was temporarily silent. He needed to reach the quarterfinals, and he really was not sure. In fact, after the opponent in the fifth round of the Copa del Rey was confirmed to be Espanyol, the Copa del Rey was no longer within Fang Jue's plan. In fact, when facing La Liga team Huelva in the fourth round, Fang Jue faced the Copa del Rey with an indifferent attitude, and concentrated all energy to upgrade. This is Fang Jue's primary goal. This can be seen from the choice of Ibiza's big rotation in the two rounds of facing Huelva. However, he didn't expect that Huelva had to give up completely in the Copa del Rey, such as Fang Jue's completely sacrificing attitude. Ibiza, who is almost a substitute lineup, actually easily killed Huelva and advanced.
Obviously, eliminating Huelva into the top 16 of the Copa REI gave the club's senior management a signal, or an illusion that they actually had ideas and ambitions for the Copa REI.
...
"Every time the team takes the lead in the King's Cup, the club can promise all the bonuses they receive as transfer fees." The fat man said.
Fang Jue's eyes lit up first, but he did not express his opinion. Instead, he asked directly, "So far, we have reached the top 16, how many bonuses have we won in the Copa del Rey?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars." The fat man said embarrassedly.
Fang Jue was a little confused. He didn't study the King's Cup at all. He was shocked when he heard the amount of 500,000 US dollars. Ibiza started playing in the second round of the King's Cup and now entered the fifth round of the King's Cup. The second and third rounds were a decisive victory. The fourth round was a knockout match. After playing four games, he passed three levels in a row, and there was only a prize of 200,000 US dollars. Not to mention other things, just this useless bonus, no wonder the La Liga giants do not pay much attention to the King's Cup.
Of course, this account is not calculated like this. Ibiza's $200,000 is just a bonus. In addition, every step forward in the Cup of del Rey, there is also income for every extra game, ticket income, broadcasting fees, etc.
"The total prize money for the Cup of Rey this season is 7.5 million US dollars," Ms. Roberta explained. "The champion gets the most prize share. We have calculated that the champion can get 1.2 million US dollars, of which 700,000 US dollars is paid by the Spanish Football Association. The Spanish royal family will also give a check of 500,000 US dollars, and the champion team will be summoned by the royal family at the palace."
Fang Jue shook his head. He really didn't like this money. He fought in the King's Cup in the last two fronts for the transfer fee of 1.2 million US dollars, but he encountered a Waterloo in the league. In this case, he would never allow it to happen.
Well, Fang Jue laughed too. His subconscious thought that Ibiza was qualified to win the King's Cup. It seemed that his subconscious was really a little drifty.
...
"It's more than that," said Miss Papa. "With the Cup of Kings, the team can qualify for the UEFA Cup next season. The club's revenue in advertising and television will rise sharply, and most importantly, the team's influence will be greatly improved, and..."
“And what?”
"And, being able to play in European games will be attractive to the team's big-name players," Ms. Roberto added. "I contacted a friend of Chelsea's senior club. She promised to help us persuade Marklele to join. Although the Frenchman's first choice is to join Paris Saint-Germain, he has no longer completely refused to join Ibiza. In addition, the most important reason why Marklele began to hesitate about joining Paris is that Paris Saint-Germain is now only ranked in the middle of the Ligue 1 League, and it is difficult to obtain the European competition qualification for next season. If we can get the European competition qualification for next season, I believe this will be very helpful in persuading Marklele to join."
Fang Jue didn't say anything, he gently tapped the tabletop with his fingers, and he was thinking.
"I still can't promise anything in the Cup of del Rey." Fang Juehe calmed down, "But I will try to put as much energy as possible in the Cup of del Rey without affecting the league results, but"
Fang Jue's expression was serious, "Once I think that the situation of fighting on both sides may have affected the league's results, I will give up the King's Cup without hesitation!"
"Yes, yes!" The fat man smiled immediately, showing an expectant look. Miss Papa also looked at Fang Jue with appreciation and love, only Ms. Roberta had a look of surprise and scrutiny.
"Hey, hey, I didn't promise anything." Fang Jue said as he looked at the fat man's happy look.
"No, no, you don't need to promise anything. As long as you have this attitude, I will be very happy and relieved." said the fat man.
"You are so confident in me?" Fang Jue shrugged.
"Yes." Miss Papa was talking, and the fat man just laughed.
Fang Jue also smiled and said nothing. To be honest, the champion of the Copa del Rey is still very attractive, which is of great help to Ibiza to expand its influence. In addition, the European war, especially the European war, just thinking about it makes Fang Jue excited.
Of course, he just thought about it. He didn't float up overestimating his abilities. His plan was to take one step at a time. The Copa del Rey is not that easy to win. Ibiza's strength and lineup are not enough to undertake such a large target task. The biggest possibility is that he will be eliminated. If he is not lucky, he may be eliminated by the Spaniard in the quarterfinals.
However, you still have to have a dream, what if...
...
After talking about the important topic of King's Cup, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"Fang Jue, how has the team made progress in introducing a substitute striker?" asked the fat man.
"No progress." Fang Jue shook his head, "It is difficult to have a suitable recruitment target in winter transfers, and it is even more difficult for us to introduce a substitute."
"I have a suggestion," said the fat man. "Before you came, Miss Karina and Ms. Roberta, I had a preliminary discussion on this matter."
"Tell me," Fang Jue immediately showed a vigilant look. He was very sensitive to the transfer power.
"Have you ever considered introducing a Chinese player from China?" asked the fat man.
