Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 211 Champions Cup group draw (2)

In Islington, a suburb of London, on a road with few vehicles, the straight trees on both sides of the road stand resolutely, and the green embellishment makes people feel relaxed physically and mentally. Occasionally, the sound of car horns seems to give This beautiful scenery adds some vitality.

At this time, on the road, an open-top yellow car was slowly driving forward, and the continuous noise coming from the car was not in harmony with the surrounding environment, adding a stain to the quiet environment ---
"You idiot, drive faster! Are you a man?" Miss Joyce seemed very dissatisfied with Wang Li's performance.

Wang Li, who was staring at the front, couldn't help but replied: "But, Miss Joyce, don't you think it's too fast, and accidents are likely to happen?" In fact, Wang Li felt that his learning speed was not slow. , This time I touched the car, I was able to start it successfully and make the car run stably, which is much better than last time.

"Oh, my God, look at your current speed, you can even compare it with Heigreth (a famous British bicycle brand)! This is the first time I have seen such a stupid student like you!" Joyce said slightly Feeling helpless, he turned to become high-spirited, and seemed to be a little proud: "I think back then, when I first learned to drive, I drove above 80! Now it's only a little over 40. Well, this shows that you are stupid than me. double!"

"OK, let's just say that, I don't need to go to F1 anyway."

Today, Wang Li feels that he has made great progress. At least, he can successfully start the car and do a good job in turning, uphill, etc.——
Of course, this is only Wang Li's own opinion. The dissatisfaction that Miss Joyce kept pouring out of her mouth is constantly trying to undermine his self-confidence, but this does not affect Wang Li at all, and Wang Li will only follow his own opinion. Thinking about doing things, although he also cares about what others think of him, but he never changes his approach easily because of this.

.........

.........

And when Wang Li was still in the car in Islington, arguing with the beautiful coach Miss Joyce, the major media in London were already arguing about him!
"Daily Telegraph": "England lost 1:2 to Poland, the inside story is revealed!" ! '

"Yesterday, in the second match of the European group stage of the World Cup qualifiers held in Wroclaw, England lost [-]-[-] to Poland, and we did not see the youngster in the squad Alan Wang's name, this is really surprising! In the post-match interview, the players of the England team broke the news-Alan was angry because he was dissatisfied with Eriksson for not giving him a chance to start the game. , left the team and returned to London alone!"

"The behavior of Alan Wang also made the atmosphere of the whole team not very good the next morning. Mr. Eriksson also scolded some players who were training hard because of some minor problems, which shows his mood It has been extremely bad, maybe the conflicts between coaches and players within the team have affected the state of the entire team, and in the slightly cold Wroclaw, we suffered a failure."

This report in the "Daily Telegraph" has no serious tendencies, it just explains the reasons for the incident, and it is more worried about the England team. However, other newspapers and periodicals are not like this——
"Arrogant Alan Wang created the team's contradictions, and Eriksson firmly said 'NO' to him!" '---"Guardian".

"...Since last season, Alan Wang has become the topic of English football, and this young player is lucky. His performance impressed Eriksson, so he successfully joined the England team, and he With his performance in the European Cup, he won the attention of Chelsea."

"During the whole process, we can see that Coach Eriksson has always trusted Allen and sent him to play in almost every game, but now, this young man is only performing slightly better in the game, Then he started to get arrogant, it is said that his relationship with his teammates in the team has not been very good, and now he is even going to the head coach to ask for the main position!!"

"...This kind of player with bad character must never be recruited into the team. This will cause irreparable damage to the team. Coach Eriksson's choice is correct. The England team will always reject this kind of time bomb. !!"

Since Wang Li played well in Wolverhampton, the Guardian has been making excuses to ridicule him, maybe it's all because he offended that annoying female reporter, when Wang Li was at the club, When the national team performed very well, the "Guardian" fell silent a lot, but now that this kind of thing happened, they found an opportunity to attack again. Of course, they will not let go of this hard-won opportunity!
Among all the media reports, the "Guardian" is definitely not the only one who is full of insults. The "Sun", which has always supported Wang Li, also stood up this time.
'Swede, why can't the first striker start playing! ! ? '--"The Sun"

"... In the European Cup, Alan Wang won the honor of the European Cup's top scorer in less than 90 minutes. Can we imagine that if Alan Wang played against Portugal in that match? Wang started the game, so will England still use it for extra time or a penalty shootout?."

"... Is it the player's mistake, or the coach's mistake? Why does the top scorer in the European Cup always sit on the bench until the team encounters a crisis before playing? Or, Eriksson Sir, are you using this method to show your 'perfect' on-the-spot command ability??" --George Kurentalik

This article in The Sun is undoubtedly an absolute doubt on Eriksson. As a staunch supporter of Wang Li, George Kurentalik attacked again this time and gave Wang Li strong support!
……

However, these were also what Wang Li heard from Angela who was sitting on the sofa and constantly flipping through the newspaper after returning to his residence.

Of course Wang Li knew that what he did would cause an outrage in the media, but he didn't think too much about it. Just like what Mourinho said, the outcome of the matter can only be proved on the football field.

After taking a cold shower, Wang Li turned on the TV and began to watch the European Cup group match draw ceremony broadcast live at 6 pm.

In the last season, Chelsea reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, but in the Premier League, they ranked behind Manchester United and Arsenal, and only got No.3 results. Therefore, in this Champions League group, Chelsea was drawn In the second tier team.

At the beginning, Mr. Mourinho, who won the honor of the best coach of the previous season, drew the classification group for the next eight teams, including Chelsea, who were assigned to Group H.

Then, as the defensive general of last year's defending champion Porto, Ricardo Carvalho received the honor of the best defender from UEFA. After AC Milan's legendary defender Paolo Maldini presented him with the award, Carvalho He went on stage to replace the Chelsea team and drew a number plate——
"Number 1, Porto!"

A loud voice in the hall read out the number on the number plate in Carvalho's hand, and the big shot of the scene was also shown to Chelsea's head coach Mourinho. The expression on his face was indescribably helpless.

Last season, Mourinho led Porto to win the treble. This season, he came to Chelsea and received a huge transfer fund of more than 1 million euros from the Russian predators. Now in the group stage, the two teams They happened to be divided together. If there is nothing tricky in it, no one would believe it——
There are a total of eight seeded teams, how could Porto be selected by such a coincidence! ! ?
However, most Chelsea supporters, including Chairman Abramovich, are still very satisfied with this result. Among the eight seeded teams, Porto is undoubtedly one of the worst teams. AC Milan and Real Madrid are much stronger.

After that, Carvalho replaced Eindhoven and Barcelona and drew a few numbers respectively, and then there was the award ceremony for the best midfielder:

"The best midfielder in the 03-04 season is... Anderson Deco!"

After Luis Figo presented the award to Deco as the guest of honor, Deco went to the stage to participate in the lottery ceremony. After one round, he finally got the number for Group H——
"On the 23rd, Moscow CSKA!"

When he heard this name, Mr. Abrahimovich had a really shocked expression on the cut scene.CSKA Moscow can also be called CSKA Moscow, and just a few years ago, Mr. Abramovich was the chairman of that club. What a coincidence!
However, everyone present did not have any doubts about the result. You must know that until now Abrasimovich is still an important sponsor of CSKA Moscow. He is very influential to this team, and If the two teams were to fight, almost everyone would know that the Chelsea team would definitely win. As for whether there is any inside story in it, no one knows...

At least, everyone knows that UEFA will never deliberately arrange this way, this is simply cheating for Chelsea!

Later, the host announced the best striker - AC Milan's nuclear warhead Ukrainian Andrei Shevchenko. Seeing Shepchenko, Mr. Abramovich's eyes really shined. In his heart, Shepchenko Chenko is undoubtedly his most desired player, but at least for now, he still belongs to AC Milan.

After the invited guest Newcastle United's legendary striker Alan Shearer presented the award to Shevchenko, the latter took the stage to draw the last number plate for each group, and the last team in Group H is Paris Saint-Germain Team, however, this is not important anymore, perhaps in most people's minds, in Group H, Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly 'soy sauce'.
