Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 293 West London Derby

After defeating Everton at home on November 11, Chelsea's next game will be on November 6, when the League Cup round of 11 will be played against the newly promoted Western United Ham at Stamford Bridge.

The club didn't pay much attention to this game. One of the reasons is that the strength of Western Union Ham can't cause Chelsea's tension at all. More importantly, the League Cup is really tasteless. Coach Jose Mourinho Mr. intends to give up this event and focus on the league and the Champions League.

Although there are not many games in the League Cup, if you continue to advance, your opponents will become stronger and stronger, and even encounter giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal in the top four.Obviously, Manchester United's hope of winning the championship this season is really slim. Arsenal can only pin their hopes on Chelsea's mistakes if they want to surpass Chelsea in the league. In this case, the champions of the League Cup and the FA Cup may become Their goal, if they were to smack against a rich team in this kind of competition that is tasteless to Chelsea, it would definitely be worth the candle.

Although Western Union Ham is just a newly promoted team, the head coach Mourinho still intends to use this game to train new players.

On the second day of the game against Everton, Mourinho had informed all the players of the news. In this case, Wang Li is likely to be placed on the bench or not included in the squad at all. up.

However, he didn't have any thoughts about it, and he was a little happy because November 11 happened to be the day when Angela returned to the United States.

These days, Angela's stay in London has entered the countdown, so Wang Li rushed home directly after training every day, and the two seized all the time to live a warm two-person world, which made their relationship even stronger. It was a rapid rise in temperature, which even made Angela feel very reluctant.

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, and their relationship has not had a solid foundation, they have lived together for a few months anyway. Now, although Wang Li dare not say that he has fallen in love with this person, seeing You Poor little princess, but at least I can be sure that I have already fallen in love with her.

.........

Wang Li ran home covered in sweat and opened the door.

Angela, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned her head and said, "I'm back."

"Well, bored at home again today?"

"No, I went shopping in Victoria Park today." As she spoke, Angela stepped forward to take Wang Li's coat, and continued, "Hurry up and take a shower, you smell like sweat!"

Wang Li smiled and said, "Did you enjoy playing?"

"It's okay, I went to an Italian pizzeria next door at noon, it was delicious."

"Where is that store?"

Angela hung her coat on the hanger, and immediately sat on the sofa, gesticulating with her small hands, and said, "Beside Victoria Park, on Marais Street... Well, it's probably in the middle."

Wang Li also came over and sat next to her, put his arms around her body, and said, "I'll try it too when I have time."

"Go take a shower, you smell of sweat!" Angela pinched her small nose and sniffed Wang Li's chest, then hurriedly pushed him away and stood up, frowning slightly.

"Okay, okay, my God."

……

Similar homely conversations happen between the two of them almost every day. Before, Wang Li didn't feel much, but since he heard that she was going back to the United States, Wang Li can learn from the little things in life. I feel a kind of warmth in the drops——
This may be the truth that only when you lose can you know how to cherish.

Since coming to this world, Wang Li has met many attractive women, such as Rita, Li Qitong, etc., but he knows that for other women, he is more concerned with physical sensations, while only Angela is truly attracted .

Perhaps it was a natural habit, anyway, Wang Li felt that he was used to the feeling that Angela was waiting for him at home, and this feeling made his life very fulfilling.

However, there will always be some helplessness in life. Now, perhaps he should make some achievements in his career before considering marriage. After all, in reality, both of them are under 18 years old.

.........

Versace company, founded in 1978, the brand logo is the mythical snake demon Medusa, representing the fatal attraction.
The design style of Versace is very distinct, and it is an artistic pioneer with a strong unique aesthetic feeling. It emphasizes happiness and sensuality, and the neckline often opens below the waist. Appropriate display of body type.Versace is good at using noble and luxurious fabrics to make high-end clothing with the help of bias cutting.

Since the founder of the company, Gianni Versace, was shot dead, the development of Versace has been hindered to some extent, but with the development of Sam Versace as a director, the company has always been one of the top ten brands in the world in the field of high-end clothing. , This time, they just want to use the exhibition in London to enter the high-end brand market in England.

As the image ambassadors of this exhibition, Wang Li and Angela need to wear high-end clothing specially customized by designers, and walk around the exhibition site holding hands.

Today, the combination of the golden boy and the jade girl, coupled with the costumes, attracted most people's attention when they first appeared in the exhibition.

In the hearts of football-loving Englanders, Wang Li's popularity is now almost as high as that of David Beckham, and the appearance of Princess Angela is a highlight. As the only daughter of Earl Edward, although Angela seldom appears in the In front of the public, this also added a mysterious vicious circle around her.

As soon as the two came to the exhibition site, they immediately became the protagonists of the audience, because they looked so well matched.

This is the first day of the exhibition, and the guests present are all high-level people in England, whether they are rich merchants or jazz aristocrats. These people will not chase stars, but they will think from another angle, such as English dance The great commercial value contained in the master, the influence of Earl Edward, Princess Angela's father, in England's high society, and so on.

No matter from which point of view, Wang Li and Wang Li will become the protagonists of the scene, and Sam Versace invited them to be the spokespersons for this purpose. As long as the reporter can hype the couple tomorrow, the Versace brand will definitely follow Advertise for free and invite them to be image ambassadors.

The job of Wang Li and Angela is very simple, that is to greet every guest with a smile, chat with these elites at the exhibition, introduce the latest new products of Versace by the way, and so on.

The whole morning, the two spent this kind of boredom, but the income is quite generous, a total of 1200 million euros. Of course, it is impossible to work for only half a day. In addition to shooting a commercial in the afternoon, the contract It is also stipulated that the two must shoot at least one advertisement for Versace every year within 3 years, and participate in the exhibition promotion of Versace in other countries within the 3-year plan.

So, in the afternoon, the two wandered between the dressing room and the advertising scene, being swayed by a lot of professionals of various kinds, and they had to accept verbal attacks from an Italian.

……

In a bright bar, Angela was sitting on the counter, her gloomy face showed that she was not in a good mood. At this moment, Wang Li, who was dressed in Versace, came over and snapped his fingers with his right hand, "Miss, have a cup of coffee." .”

Then, after Wang Li looked up and saw the beauty of the woman in front of him, he had a very gentlemanly expression on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Angela's body, and he said, "You want a drink too?"

Angela looked up and smiled at Wang Li, and said, "No,..."

"Shit!!"

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the side, saying: "Alan, your expression should be natural! Natural!! You also need to coordinate your movements, show that cool temperament, don't be as stiff as a piece of wood!"

"My God, it's terrible!"

……

I have to say that Wang Li really doesn't have the talent for acting, and he doesn't know how to do the kind of handsome moves. Every time he feels very unnatural, which makes everyone around him very angry. In such a one-and-a-half-minute shot, the two of them actually Filmed for several hours.

Fortunately, it finally passed, and he won't have any more headaches. As for the future, let's think about it later.

After a busy afternoon, Yi Wang Li felt very physically exhausted. When the two returned home, they both lay down on the bed.

"Ailun, I just realized that your acting skills are really bad." Lying on the bed, Angela turned her head to look at Wang Li, covered her mouth with her little hand and laughed.

Wang Li rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a professional actor."

"Then that's too bad. You are really not suitable to be an actor."

Being ridiculed by Angela, Wang Li felt depressed for a while. He stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, and said angrily, "I'm a football player."

"Okay, I won't say anything." Angela, who was lying on her lap, said something pretending to be okay, but then couldn't help laughing.

……

In this kind of life, time passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to November 11th. In the round of 11 of the League Cup, Chelsea played against Western Union Ham at home.

In this game, just as Wang Li imagined, he failed to enter the squad at all, so when many Chelsea teammates were still fighting on the green field, he had already arrived at the London airport to send An Qi** Boarded the plane to the United States.

Since he came to this world, this was the first time he felt reluctance, yes, very reluctance, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, even if Angela is left in London, Wang Li knows that he does not dare to face the issue of marriage at all, nor does he have the confidence to say "I love you" to Angela.

Although he told him in his heart that it was the best choice for the two to separate for a period of time, Wang Li was immersed in this kind of reluctance for the whole day and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't even pay attention to the Chelsea game.

Anyway, Angela had already left, Wang Li felt that his life seemed to be back to the past, he was alone in the spacious villa, which made him feel lonely for a while.

Wang Li seems to miss the days when he rented a house with Harrelson.

At least, then there is a company, no?

This night, while enduring this kind of loneliness, Wang Li spent his time in meditation. Perhaps there is another benefit in practicing the Taoist internal mental method --- to pass the time.

.........

On the second day, when the sky was just a little bright, Wang Li had already got up, and after breakfast, he went directly to the first team training ground of Chelsea Club.

Wang Li's training is still free kicks. In this regard, he has really worked hard. Without martial arts moves that can help him make progress in this area, he can only use uninterrupted training. Allow yourself to improve your abilities in this area.

However, it also gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Because, in Wang Li's view, his other abilities are almost all assisted by martial arts, and only free kicks are really improved by his own training. This kind of ability that has gradually improved is indeed very joyful. .

After his teammates came to the training ground, Wang Li also learned the result of yesterday's game——
2:0, Chelsea won.

To the head coach Jose Mourinho's surprise, amidst the cheers from the Blues fans at home, these substitute players played very well. With a pure substitute lineup, Chelsea still won the game .

Celestian Babayaro, Alexa Smelkin, Scott Parker and other players who rarely played in games, all performed very well in this game, while defender Robert Huth's assist in the 38th minute opened the scoring for Chelsea.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Alkin Robben scored the second goal for Chelsea with a supplementary shot, making the score at 2:0. The recent goal trend of the Dutch star is very violent, and his performance has been recognized. Approved by all Blues fans.

The victory in this game surprised Mourinho, but it also gave him a headache. Of course, he is happy to win, but in this way, Chelsea will have to participate in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Even if the League Cup is just a weak point, it is still a trophy. If you are directly eliminated in the top 32 and top 16, it feels nothing, but if you can reach the top 4 or even the final, it would be a pity to give up directly .

This also makes Chelsea's schedule more compact, which is what Mourinho is worried about.

However, Chelsea's recent games are too intensive, which caused the Portuguese to have no time to think about these things, because after the game against Western Union Ham, Chelsea is about to usher in a firework-filled West London derby.

Chelsea vs Fulham.

.........

Although it is the earliest team established in the city of London, Fulham is worthless in terms of team honor. It cannot be compared with Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and West Ham in the same city. Fulham, nicknamed "The Farmer", has never Won the top flight, never won the FA Cup, League Cup, and in the 1960s most of them played in the old First Division (predecessor to the Super League) without winning any major trophies. In 1975, they reached the FA Cup final, but that was their only time.

For Fulham, this year may have some significance, because they just celebrated their 9th anniversary in September, but their achievements are obviously not in line with the length of history, and many Fulham fans are looking forward to The team can achieve a leap in strength after the 125th anniversary and can get some honors this season.

But the media are obviously not optimistic about the form of Fulham this year.

Although Fulham had a relatively strong momentum last season, they got rid of the image of a relegation underdog and finally achieved No.9 success, but this summer, Fulham sold Sean Davis and other key players. Obviously weakened to a certain extent, so it will be extremely difficult for them to surpass last season's achievements.

On the other hand, Chelsea, after investing 1.1 million euros this summer, their performance in the league can almost be described as 'shocking'. Their 12-game winning streak in the league makes them almost unbeatable.

Therefore, for this game, the media are of course optimistic about Chelsea.

However, the focus of this game is not who wins and who loses. As a derby, sometimes the off-court is even more intense than the on-court, and the game is likely to get Chelsea into a quagmire. This is what everyone cares about.

Compared with other derbies, such as the North London Derby and the Merseyside Derby, the hostility between Chelsea and Fulham is not particularly obvious because they have not played in the same level for a long time.In fact, there are only 5 seasons between the two armies at the same level, and even so, due to the disparity in strength, the two teams rarely fight for the same goal.

However, since Fulham was promoted to the Premier League, the competitive relationship between the two teams has become extremely tense, and historically, fans of the two teams have hated each other.

Even if it is only a small microcosm of the Premier League derby, this game is extremely important for both teams.Many fans believe that beating rivals in the same city is more important than winning the league championship. Therefore, even if it is not for league points, Chelsea can only win but not lose in this game. If they lose to Fulham, then even if they can win this year To win the honor of the Triple Crown, this season is not perfect, and this game will become a flaw in the hearts of the fans.

There is that kind of deep-rooted hatred between teams in the same city. As teams in North London, both teams reported 120% importance to this game.

Therefore, even Fulham fans feel that the winning rate of this game is not high, but they still hope that the team can play their own momentum, and even in the game, let Chelsea players get injured to weaken their strength.

In an interview with the media, some radical Fulham fans even declared: "I hope Alan Wang will end up injured in this game!"

"The score I most hope to see is 1:0. Fulham won the championship relying on the referee's misjudgment!"

"Chelsea better come into the game feeling like a loser, we'll give them a big show that day!"

……

Before the game, such radical and intimidating remarks kept coming and going, which made this West London Derby even more explosive. Many Chelsea players knew that even if the team could win this game, it would never be a good one. memories of --
Moreover, Chelsea is an away game.
