Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 263 Manchester United's smoke bomb
Venice can indeed be called a world-famous tourist destination. At least Wang Li and Angela stayed in Venice for 4 days, and they haven't felt any boredom. The life of going out by boat really makes them A landlubber in London is very novel, but the time for a good holiday is limited.

On October 10th, Wang Li and Angela ended their intimate trip to Venice and returned to their villa in the wealthy area next to the Stamford Bridge Stadium.

It is worth mentioning that on the day they came back, the two went to Clerkenwell Road in London together to visit Wang Li's parents in this world - Ellis and Wang Hai. A small party was held in the evening and several neighbors and the Welsh couple were invited.

In the evening, Wang Li put his arms around Angela and toasted with his family in a warm atmosphere. This harmonious scene was captured by reporters and was included in the next day's report.

Compared with Wang Li's leisure life, the England team has embarked on the journey of Azerbaijan amidst many contradictions.

In this game, the two teams drew 90-1 in 1 minutes. Fortunately, in stoppage time, Michael Owen's cold shot helped England narrowly beat Azerbaijan 2-1, which also made England England fans and the media squeezed a cold sweat.

However, these have nothing to do with Wang Li's life, because he has fallen into the greatest pain in his life——
Stuck in the room...endorsing.

In England's driving license test, the written test is also an important part. Various traffic rules, driving methods, etc. will appear in the questions. I have to say that this kind of thing is what Wang Li hates the most. Endorsement, what a distant vocabulary , but now he has to learn——
Just to be 'car owners'.

.........

On October 10th, the England players who returned from Azerbaijan finally returned to the long-lost club. Wang Li also broke away from his leisurely vacation and fell into the two-point and one-line life of the club and the residence.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Li arrived at the training ground of the first team on time. At this time, the teammates on the court were already talking and laughing while training.

"These days are really tiring. That Swede is really annoying. He has to do some internal training." Bridge trotted and complained to Lampard next to him.

"Yeah, originally I wanted to take Ellen to Azerbaijan for fun, but I didn't expect to go for nothing."

Perhaps, Frank Lampard is the most unlucky. Originally, going to Azerbaijan to play this time was a vacation for these big-name England stars, and he also invited his new girlfriend to go there to have fun, but he did not expect Eric Sen came for an internal training session and banned the players from traveling.

So, Ellen was fooled to Azerbaijan, watched a boring football match, did not see Lampard face to face, and then returned to London alone. For Lampard, it really couldn't be worse.

Just when the two were sighing, Wang Li also trotted over and said, "How about it, the free international travel is not bad."

"I'm almost exhausted, Alan, what have you been doing these days?" Bridget sighed sullenly, and then asked.

Wang Li thought for a while and said, "It's nothing. I just went to Venice with Annie for a few days. The scenery there is really nice. I plan to buy a house there."

"..." The two looked at each other speechlessly, and Brigitte lamented, "Why did that Swede recruit me into the national team!?"

.........

The three of them were jogging and doing warm-up exercises while chatting. After a while, the head coach Mourinho appeared on the sidelines. Seeing his solemn expression, the players knew that the leisure time had passed up.

This also means that the tense competition stage is coming again.

On October 10st, they will face the most important league game of the season at Stamford Bridge——
Chelsea VS Manchester United.

Many people refer to the match between Manchester United and Arsenal as the English derby, because in the era of the century, only these two teams are really the best in the Premier League, while Liverpool, Chelsea and other teams are obviously much worse .

However, this season is not the case.

Although Arsenal has a record of 9 wins, one draw and one loss in nine rounds with 7 points, it is still strong; although Manchester United's performance at the beginning of the season was not satisfactory, it also continued its heritage, but——
Chelsea is truly unstoppable! !

After 9 rounds of the Premier League, under the leadership of champion coach Jose Mourinho, Chelsea exploded with incredible offensive ability, scoring 9 goals in 37 games, directly breaking the record of opening goals in major European leagues , Many media believe that Chelsea is even expected to break the single-season scoring record held by Aston Villa in the 1930/31 season-128 goals.

And Chelsea's young player Alan Wang even stood at the top of the scorer list with a terrifying efficiency of 9 goals in 18 games. Alan Shearer and Cole scored 34 goals in a single season.

After 9 rounds of the league, Manchester United's performance has also stabilized after the start of the slump. They now have 17 points and rank 6th in the league. Arsenal, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Egypt Fulton, even so, they are still the 'favorites' in the media, because in the Premier League, Manchester United is the most powerful family background, that is to say, although Manchester United's performance is not good, they are often in the second half of the league. Even if the performance is not strong at the beginning of the season, it cannot be used to judge their results.

Therefore, this match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge was also called the "England Derby of the season" by the fans.

From the World Cup qualifiers and various gossip news, the media who have withdrawn their hearts are also paying attention to the Premier League again. Obviously, this contest between the upstarts in England and the traditional giants is the most important thing to pay attention to at present. , and media from all over the world also went to London to pay attention to the game.

This time, the foreign media definitely paid off.

Before the match even started, Mr. Jose Mourinho, who has always been arrogant, quarreled with Sir Alex Ferguson in the newspaper, just because of what Mourinho said in an interview with the media on the afternoon of the 19th : "I don't think you should care about who wins the game. There is no doubt about it. You should pay more attention to how many goals Chelsea can win in this game."

The Portuguese's tone directly caused an uproar in the world's media. Obviously, the English media is the most calm. After several months of contact, they have completely liked Mourinho's style. After Mourinho made this kind of argument, all they need to do is to inform the old Jazz of everything, and then get more exciting news from him! !
However, the Italian, Spanish and other media obviously don’t see it that way. They feel that Mourinho is just showing off his head. He dared to make such an argument before the game against Manchester United. Women Juventus dare not say.

The next day, "Gazzetta dello Sport" introduced this matter in a large space. They advertised Mourinho as the spokesperson of the "brain-dead" in the new century——
"...before the game between Chelsea and Manchester United, the head coach Mourinho was so arrogant that he declared that Chelsea would win, and even let the media pay attention to how many goals they could win. This kind of argument is really surprising!! The performance is very good, but the Premier League team Manchester United is obviously not a soft persimmon. I think it would be a pleasure to meet Chelsea in the European Champions Cup, because a team led by such a coach will definitely be defeated. Easy to beat, we don't need to worry about losing."

And "Corriere dello Sport" even declared that "Chelsea must be the loser". They believed that a team led by such a head coach would never be able to defeat the mighty Manchester United, even if they won all 9 rounds of the league. That's just luck.

In short, these foreign media, on the second day after Mourinho's speech, frantically reported on this incident. In their view, this is a great revelation! !
However, the English media performed mediocrely, and they also secretly despised those foreign media—"It's really long hair, but short knowledge".

Sure enough, experience is the most important thing, and the saliva war really became hot on the second day! !
In the morning, Sir Alex Ferguson immediately countered Mourinho's big mouth. Facing the microphones of many media, with a smile on his face, he first talked very calmly: "I think Mr. Mourinho I should buy more chewing gum, it seems that he usually doesn’t pay much attention to hygiene, it’s not good for young people to do this, and when I’m my age, all my teeth will fall out, so it’s hard to enjoy delicious food.”

"For this game, I don't think there is much need to talk about it. We have Wayne, Cristiano, Rudd, Paul, etc., which is enough. If Chelsea are going to be at Stamford Bridge, facing many If the local fans play against us, perhaps Petr Cech, who has just landed in the Premier League, will encounter the first setback in his life."

Obviously, this is the smoke bomb released by Ferguson before the game. His meaning is obvious, that is, to provoke Chelsea and Mourinho——
'In your home stadium, under the noses of tens of thousands of Blues fans, dare you let it out to play against Manchester United! ? '
