Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 239 Yes, carry forward the spirit of Chelsea.
On September 2004, 9, the 25th round of the English Premier League match was about to kick off. All the English media focused their attention on the Stamford Bridge Stadium in Fulham, London, waiting for the collision of Mars and Earth.

For the current head coach of Liverpool, Rafael Benitez, almost no one will doubt his ability. He coached in Valencia for three years and brought the team two league titles against Real Madrid and Barcelona. !
It can be said that Benitez's ability to lead the team is beyond doubt.

And now, the champion coach has come to the Premier League. Because of Benitez, many people are optimistic about Liverpool's performance this season. Even in the first 6 rounds of the league, they only gained 10 league points, ranking in the Premier League. 5, but in the eyes of the fans, this is normal. As long as the team can complete the adaptation period normally, it will definitely achieve very good results, and even strive for the league championship and the Champions League championship!

However, Chelsea this season is too strong! !

Except for the Blues fans, almost all England fans hope that Benitez can sink this "arrogant and arrogant" speedboat at Stamford Bridge to suppress Chelsea's limelight. If this situation continues , I am afraid that the owner of the Premier League championship trophy can be determined very early, so what chance do other teams have! ?

Therefore, it stands to reason that on the morning of September 9th, the media should have been wantonly building momentum and cheering for Liverpool.But due to some relationship, the protagonist of the news at this time was taken away by Chelsea again.

Fulham Times: "No one can stop my goal!!"

Coupled with this headline and the black-haired boy with a breezy expression on the homepage, he immediately attracted the attention of all fans in London. With this report, the sales volume of "Fulham Times" directly increased today. 50 percent.

In the report, editor-in-chief Lassiter Cooper praised Wang Li's self-confidence, and emphasized: "Only such self-confidence is in line with the inheritance of the 'Chelsea spirit'. We need such players. No one dares to question The strength of Alan Wang, he always does what he says, this is Chelsea's great striker!! Perhaps, when we think about this sentence again in a few years, we will definitely feel emotional, the great English football It takes this kind of confident shooter to flourish."

Of course, perhaps only Fulham's local media in England really praised Wang Li. Almost all other newspapers criticized him. The Liverpool media even declared that 'today's game made him look good'.

'No one can stop my goal', what an arrogant statement! !

Throughout the history of football, no star has dared to say such a thing, Pele can't, Cruyff can't, even in the World Cup finals, Maradona, who has practiced a good show with 6 players, can't! !

But now, this young boy who is not yet 18 years old has said such words. In their view, this is a satire on all defensive players in the world! !
For this reason, many media flew to Manchester to interview all the big-name defenders. Argentine international Gabriel Heinze, who just joined Manchester United this season, claimed: "I will give him a good look in the 10th round!"

However, most of the media are obviously noncommittal to Heinze's words. A Manchester United substitute player is not even guaranteed to play in the game. What qualifications does he have to give the current Premier League top scorer Alan Wang a good look! ?

"I think this is just a self-confident statement made by young people after they have made certain achievements. You should not delve into it." Wang Li's England teammate Gary Neville said with a smile. In fact, he is still full of Wang Li. Favorable, at least he thinks this black-haired kid can bring goals to the England team.

However, Wayne Brown didn't have such a good temper. He said directly: "He's just putting on a show! Maybe after this game is over, he will reveal his true colors!"

It is worth mentioning that Pires, the big mouth of the Arsenal team, was on the camera again this time, "When I heard this, I covered my stomach and laughed for a long time. Only then did I know that there are still people Being able to be so arrogant, now, what I look forward to most is waiting for him to come to Highbury, and I promise to sing that "FALL (fall)" and send him away."

In fact, the remarks of Manchester United and Arsenal players are already very implicit, and only a very small number of players will make remarks about it. Also, in the eyes of most people, before the focus battle, the black-haired boy Saying this kind of thing is purely aimed at the Liverpool people, and has nothing to do with them.

The Liverpool players, of course, are very clear about this. Compared with the remarks of the above players, they are obviously much more angry. The team's rear general Sami Hyypia yelled directly: "This is against all Liverpool defensive players. Insult, we will teach him an unforgettable lesson in the game!!"

"I will use my feet to answer his words!" Jamie Carragher said with his head down and pointed to his feet.

However, among them, the words of Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez are the most weighty. When a reporter asked Liverpool about the defense against Wang Li, he said: "I never think that against Liverpool As far as the team is concerned, any player needs to be specially targeted for defense, and Mr. McClaren's ability is very good, but I think he may have lost too much attention."

Many newspapers and periodicals have published these words of Nenites intact in the newspapers. This may be the real thought of the Spaniard, or it may be a smoke bomb before the game. The game has not started yet. Who cares? Make it clear! ?

However, it is worth mentioning that the British bookmaker has offered a new odds specifically for whether Wang Li can score in this game: 1.7 for no goal and 2.3 for goal.

As soon as this betting method was launched, it aroused the interest of a large number of fans. According to the survey, more than 30 fans have participated in this betting in just one night. The majority, but only 21.4% of the fans did not score a goal. For this reason, the bookmaker had to increase the odds of not scoring a goal.

.........

On the morning of the game, the Chelsea players still followed the usual schedule and came to the Chelsea first-team training ground around 9 o'clock, and then did daily training under the leadership of assistant coach Clark.

From the sidelines of the media reporters, the whole Chelsea team seemed to be calm and unhurried. They did not make any pre-war training arrangements for Liverpool at all. In the morning, the head coach Mourinho did not even appear on the court.

And Chelsea's training does not shy away from the media's shots at all. They are doing exercises to adapt to their physical fitness and adjust their state as usual. This is seen by the local Fulham media as "don't take Liverpool seriously at all. Chelsea has The belief that they must win', while other media think that 'they are putting smoke bombs to confuse their opponents'.

Regarding the reports of these reporters, Wang Li, who was in training, already knew very well, but he did not target these accusers and counterattack.

Wang Li is very clear that only strength is everything in football games, and only results are everything.As long as you fight back with real performance in the afternoon game, it will be sharper than any rebuttal with words, and you will have nothing to say.

Only grades are the foundation of arrogance! !
Surprisingly, after the training in the morning, the assistant coach Clark notified Wang Li that the head coach Mourinho wanted to see him, so after changing his clothes, he went directly to the head coach's office in the office building.

At this time, there was a large stack of newspapers on Mourinho's desk. Almost all newspapers had relevant reports about the game, and among these reports, most of them were about Wang Li. 'It seems that this will give the black-haired kid more motivation to score goals, but for young players, this may be more pressure.

Although, this black-haired boy has never let him down, but Mourinho is still a little worried about his mental state.

"Alan, have you read today's report?" After Wang Li came to the office, Mourinho asked straight to the point.

"Yes, boss."

Mourinho lowered his head and thought for a while, flicked the cigar in his hand against the ash, and said: "Don't pay attention to these media, they always publicize small things everywhere, as long as you are in the game..."

"No, boss, I think we should ignore these reports now, but maintain a normal attitude to do a good job in training. With the strength of the Chelsea team, as long as they play normally at Stamford Bridge, they will definitely win a victory." Before the 'madman' finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Li.

"Well, you're right."

"Boss, I think the more reports of this kind, the better. Only in this way can the reputation of the team be improved. When they unscrupulously accused Chelsea, we use the results to explain everything. In this way, they will undoubtedly slap themselves in the face after the game. Even if you are not convinced in your heart, your attitude towards the team will change immediately." After speaking, Wang Li paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "Don't you think this is very interesting?"

Mourinho was stunned for a while, thinking about the sour tone of the media after winning the game, he couldn't help feeling a burst of relief in his heart, nodded and said: "Well, it's very interesting."

"We should always be like this, so that we can play the momentum of the Chelsea team, use actions to destroy all opposition voices, and carry forward the true Chelsea spirit."

"Yes, to carry forward the spirit of Chelsea..."

……

After Wang Li left, Mourinho was still thinking about his words. After a while, he remembered the purpose of calling Wang Li to talk this time, and realized——
'After talking for a long time, I was enlightened by the players under me instead! ! '
