After dinner, Su Wei called Salman to the training ground.
The coaching team headed by Jimenez pays special attention to the players’ physical recovery.
There are two training sessions every day, which are basically recovery training and tactical training that does not consume much physical energy.
After the afternoon training, there is still time for the players to go to the physiotherapy room for massage by the team doctor.
Even the competition that Jimenez likes very much has not been held in the past few days.
The competition was cancelled, and the main players and substitutes were mixed together. It is also unclear what kind of lineup Jimenez will line up for Thursday’s game.
Su Wei is not worried about this. Whether Jimenez plays three defenders, four defenders, or five defenders, there must be someone on the right back.
Su Wei is confident that no one will compete with him for the starting position in this position.
On the other hand, Salman is a little worried. He muttered: “Will the coach send a single striker or two strikers in the game against Celta?”
This question has been repeatedly in his mind.
Playing with two strikers, Salman feels that he will have a place.
If he plays as a single striker, he doesn’t think he can compete with Du Jie.
At the pre-match preparation meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Jimenez gathered the players in the conference room as usual, first analyzed the opponent’s situation, and then announced the starting lineup for Thursday.
Names were read out one by one from Jimenez’s mouth.
“Forward: Du Jie, Salman…”
When Salman heard his name, his heart, which had been hanging for several days, finally settled.
“Right back: Su Wei.”
Su Wei smiled slightly when he heard it, and the result was as expected.
After the preparation meeting, the players returned to the dormitory, took their luggage, and boarded the bus to the airport.
Celta and La Coruña belong to the Galicia Autonomous Region, and are only 500 kilometers apart.
In order to arrive at the destination one day earlier, Jimenez decided to set off one day earlier so that the players can have a good rest and be in the best condition for Thursday’s game.
In the evening, the entire La Coruña team had arrived in Vigo, the city where Celta is located.
After getting off the plane, take a bus to the booked hotel to rest.
When Su Wei and his teammates were checking in at the front desk, several Celta fans in the hall yelled at Su Wei and others.
“Hey! Dragon boy, and that black guy, La Coruña idiots, go to hell!”
“Hurry up and clean your ass, wait for us to ravage you tomorrow night!”
“Celta has always been the boss of Galicia, you should get back to La Coruña as soon as possible.”
Several people not only used foul language and cursed, but also raised their middle fingers to Su Wei and others.
With Su Wei’s temper, how could he tolerate these garbage.
He immediately widened his eyes, clenched his fists and took a step, wanting to teach the other party a lesson.
At this time, a big hand tightly grabbed his arm.
Su Wei looked back and found that it was the old captain Pablo.
Pablo shook his head and said, “If you go, you will fall into their trap. In addition to fists, we can also fight back on the court!”
Jimenez, who was next to him, also shouted to the hotel security guard in the distance: “Hey! Someone is making trouble, is no one in charge? If no one comes, I will complain.”
Several security guards at the door heard this and hurried over.
Su Wei also turned his head and ignored the rubbish.
The security drove away several low-quality fans.
Jimenez negotiated with the hotel management staff who came later.
A blessing in disguise, the hotel promised to close the floor where the Laco players stayed.
After completing the check-in procedures, Su Wei and his teammates took the elevator to their respective rooms.
In the elevator, Su Wei asked the old captain: “Are Celta fans so bad?”
Pablo smiled and said: “Every team has some radical fans, not to mention that La Coruña and Celta belong to the Galicia Autonomous Region. You have to know that things like derby always make people emotional!”
Su Wei nodded and expressed his understanding.
Not to mention that European teams have a history of hundreds of years, many teams in the same region are sworn enemies!
Even the derby in the domestic league, which has only been going on for more than ten years, is full of gunpowder.
The derby battle is indeed easy to make people’s adrenaline soar!
After getting out of the elevator, the players went to their own rooms.
The club booked a double room, and the players could choose their roommates at will.
Su Wei naturally shared a room with Salman. The two entered the room and put down their luggage. Salman immediately lay on the bed with his legs spread out.
“Boss, this bed is very soft!”
Su Wei chuckled and said, “Have a good sleep tonight. The game tomorrow night won’t be easy.”
“Yeah, give me a few more assists tomorrow, even with your face!”
“Aren’t you afraid of losing face?”
“Hehe, as long as we can win, anything is fine.”…
Su Wei thought about having a good sleep and then showing 100% of his strength tomorrow to win the Galicia derby.
In this way, his main task of winning three consecutive games can be successfully completed.
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, a crackling explosion woke Su Wei up.
After getting out of bed and coming to the window, Su Wei found that Celta fans were setting off firecrackers on the road below the hotel.
Su Wei frowned. Celta has so many tricks!
The hotel couldn’t control the Celta fans outside, and finally Jimenez called the police to solve it.
After more than half an hour, it gradually quieted down outside.
…
The first day Laco came to Celta, there were constant problems.
This also made all Laco players understand that this game might be more difficult than playing against Sevilla!
Sure enough, there was another problem the next afternoon.
It was not the Celta fans who made trouble this time, but the Celta club.
According to the arrangement, Laco would have an hour to adapt to the venue.
When the entire Laco team arrived at the stadium, Celta asked Laco to warm up at another training ground because the stadium equipment had problems and needed to be repaired.
Jimenez certainly disagreed. After arguing with reason, he spent more than an hour in the parking lot until more than four o’clock in the afternoon, when the Laco players were able to enter the Balaidos Municipal Stadium.
However, this delayed the original plan for a long time.
The warm-up lasted only half an hour and ended hastily because it was too late.
Jimenez went to the pre-match press conference with a lot of resentment. He told the media reporters about his experience in the past two days without hesitation.
Even if Celta will be punished by the La Liga official for this matter in the future, it has nothing to do with Laco.
Because the Galicia derby between Laco and Celta is already on the verge of happening!
Three hours after the press conference, the Balaidos Municipal Stadium welcomed the derby between Laco and Celta!
As soon as Su Wei and Salman stepped onto the court, several extreme fans threw a banana at them!
