Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 478 Mourinho and Wang Li (2)
Before the game, Chelsea appeared to be very low-key.

This kind of low-key is obvious. For example, before the war, Mourinho did not criticize Real Madrid, nor did he criticize Carlo, a rookie coach.

This is normal in a normal game. The atmosphere of the two teams is friendly, as if this is an ordinary game, but this situation is abnormal for Mourinho and Chelsea.

For the English media, Mourinho's big mouth occupies a large proportion of Chelsea's news.

They love and hate Mourinho.What I love is that Mourinho's mouth can always come out with big news that satisfies the media. He keeps breaking the news and criticizing, and every time he can make it easy for reporters to hype the game; what I hate is Mourinho's disdainful attitude towards reporters is often the purpose of his breaking news of big news, either to tease his opponents, or to be dissatisfied with the game, or just to release some smoke bombs before the battle.

In short, Mourinho has always been good at war of words.

But this time, Mourinho seemed very low-key, he didn't do this, even before the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea, the reporters didn't hear Mourinho talk about the game at all, some reporters directly shifted the topic to this On the other hand, the Portuguese also avoided talking about it, as if there was nothing to say about this game.

At least, Mourinho remained like this until the two teams had entered the Bernabeu Stadium the next day.

Under the head coach's attitude, other players also seemed very silent.

Like Frank Lampard.

When Wang Li left Chelsea, Lampard became the backbone of the team again. He is the connection between the frontcourt and the backcourt. Germany will be the best player in the Premier League this season, which shows how well Lampard has performed in the league.

Before this game, the reporters went to interview Lampard and asked him about his attitude towards the game.

".I'm looking forward to the game. I'm looking forward to competing with Alan again. We are very good friends in private. I think...he should get married soon. I can't wait to attend his wedding."

Lampard's words stunned all the reporters. The meaning in the words seemed to be that the black-haired boy was getting married, but the content was not clear, but what did it have to do with the game! ! ?
When they wanted to continue the interview, Lampard had already left the tunnel. It looked like he was going to the visiting team's dressing room. Anyway, the game is about to start, and he still needs to go to the stadium to warm up. The Bernabeu game, yes Every player who is not Real Madrid is a test.

However, the reporters present were very dissatisfied. Obviously, Chelsea's coaches and players were avoiding talking about the game. They seemed to want to prove something with facts.This attitude may be correct, but the reporters did not get any news before the game.

And Wang Li seems to be very low-key.

Before the start of the game, a large group of reporters waited in the passage of the Bernabeu, but they failed to wait for Wang Li.

A reporter saw Wang Li enter the stadium through the side door, but this was completely meaningless. In short, they failed to interview Wang Li, so they had no news to report.

As the quarter-finals of Europe, the biggest highlight of this game is "the world's number one player vs. his old club". How to report it?
Perhaps Robinho's attitude satisfied them. Before entering the locker room, Robinho was interviewed by reporters.

"Alan?? I have a good relationship with him."

Facing a crowd of reporters, Robinho said: "He and Chelsea?? Sorry, I never heard him talk about this, but we will work hard and strive to win."

"...they're not an easy opponent to deal with, their coach has been in charge for three seasons, won two Champions League titles, three league titles and a UEFA Cup title. I think we have to take the game seriously and face it. Against an opponent like this, we need to do everything we can."

Robinho said a lot, but as he spoke, the number of reporters standing next to him dwindled, mainly because reporters didn't like to hear this, what they wanted to hear was——
"What is Alan Wang doing?"

"Has Alan Wang kept in touch with his Chelsea teammates?"

"What is Alan Wang's attitude towards the game?"

Only these can attract the attention of fans, as for Robinho?Sorry, many fans don't know this name yet, and his words are only in the official language, and there is no reportability at all.

"You value the game? Real Madrid value Chelsea?"

There is no team that does not pay attention to the European knockout games. All of these can be equated with nonsense, and the content has no substance at all.

As a result, all the media were extremely anxious, and they needed to find bigger revelations.

Together, they found the staff of the stadium and asked to go to the stadium to shoot. They hoped to shoot the players' warm-up training.

Generally speaking, there is really nothing to report on this kind of warm-up training, but now for the reporters, they can’t find anything to report on, and the black-haired kid and Chelsea players will definitely participate in the warm-up training, so they will Meet on the field, maybe something will happen, no?
Although even if they contact, the reporters don't know what they said, the stadium is too big, their cameras can only record the picture, they can't know the content of the words, but from the expressions between them, the reporters may be able to make some Guess what?

Driven by this kind of thinking, many reporters came to the stadium, waiting for the warm-up of the two teams and waiting for the players to appear on the field.

Live up to expectations, Real Madrid and Chelsea players came out of the dressing room one by one, they didn't come together, some came earlier, some came later, but it doesn't matter, because they took pictures Arrived at Wang Li.

Wang Li just came out of the locker room. Before the game, he didn't want to talk about Chelsea. After all, this team was his old club last season, and many people in the team were his friends.

Coincidentally, he met Lampard.

At the Bernabéu Stadium, the locker rooms of the home and away teams enter the stadium, and there is an overlapping dedicated channel for players (there are many player channels in the stadium, such as leading to the locker room, entering the stadium, and walking out of the stadium). The two met there, and Lampa There is also a very strong-looking black man next to De, Wang Li does not know, but this does not affect his conversation with Lampard.

At this time, many reporters wanted to capture the news between Wang Li and Chelsea. Wang Li tried his best to avoid this. After all, he did not want the media to get any strange news. relationship, and we cannot stop talking because of this.

"Alan, how are you doing? It's great to see you."

Lampard was a little apprehensive, but when he saw Wang Li, his face was filled with a smile, and Wang Li walked over and gave him a hug.

"Very well, Frank, I received your message yesterday, but you also know that I'm too lazy to send messages on my mobile phone, and it's better to use a computer, so I didn't reply, haha."

Lampard shook his head and said, "It's nothing. By the way, I'll introduce you to a friend. Here, this is Michael."

While talking, Lampard introduced the black boy next to him to Wang Li. Wang Li shook hands with the black guy and said, "Hello."

The black boy touched the back of his head, shook hands with Wang Li, and said generously, "I heard that you are the best striker in the world. I really look forward to playing against you. He will be very serious."

"Of course, come on!"

Wang Li said indifferently, and he chatted with Lampard in turn.

The topics between them are generally about the recent situation of the two of them. What Wang Li is interested in is the recent girlfriend incident of Lampard. When many people talk about this issue with Wang Li, they emphasize that Lampard is going to Married to the girlfriend he dated last season, which is indeed very gossip.

And Lampard was also concerned about this question. After being asked a few consecutive questions by Wang Li, he immediately asked about Wang Li and Angela's situation.

When mentioning this, Wang Li became worried: "It's too troublesome to get married. As for the date, Annie and I can't decide on it."

I can't decide my own marriage, which is really depressing, but Lampard smiled and said enviously: "I don't know how many people envy you for being able to marry a little princess in England. You can bear with this little thing." Bar."

"That's right, hehe."

As a very good friend of Wang Li, Lampard obviously knew some 'insider news', so he talked about Wang Li's agent - Rita. Many people think that Wang Li has nothing to do with his agent, but Lampard But I know that there must be some problems between them.

".I'm sorry for her."

Faced with such a gossip man, Wang Li said helplessly: "I'm getting married, I told her, she was very sad, but she didn't stop me, but I think our relationship will at least last for a long time."

Speaking of this, Wang Li was a little helpless, but he still did not forget to add: "Don't tell those media, if I hear this in the news tomorrow, I think I will go to London to take revenge!"

Hearing this, Lampard was covered in cold sweat, and said, "Don't worry." Then, he pointed to the black boy behind him, and said, "Michael wouldn't say anything, he is trustworthy."

The dark-haired boy nodded sensibly.

At this time, the three of them just walked out of the player tunnel and came to the field. This scene was photographed by the reporters. What they saw was Wang Li saying something to Lampard with a 'stern look' on his face. Nodding 'cowardly', it seemed that he approved of his words.

It's really hard to guess what they're talking about.

However, journalists have rich imaginations, and they can imagine freely. As long as the reports do not deviate from the theme and do not imply personal attacks, they can imagine.

When a few people walked into the stadium, they separated. They already belonged to two teams, and these two teams were still their opponents this year.

They are not in the same camp, and the feelings of the fans and the imagination of the media must be taken into account, so after Lampard and Wang Li walked into the stadium, they went to the two teams respectively, and they all had to conduct warm-up training.

For Lampard, it should be said that for Chelsea players, this pre-match warm-up is more important, because now they are at the Bernabeu Stadium, they not only need to warm up, but also need to adapt to the atmosphere of the stadium and the venue.

Even players who are used to big scenes will still be shocked in the world's top stadium like the Bernabéu. What Chelsea players still need to do is to adapt to the atmosphere of the stadium, stabilize their mentality and strive for normal performance.

Just play normally.

This is an away game. Generally speaking, in an away game, the away team can play 80.00% of their strength, which is already very good. This is where the home court advantage lies.

Chelsea's warm-up training seems to be very simple. They started with two teams passing the ball to each other, and some forwards were shooting. They needed to find the feeling of shooting.

The black boy who was next to Lampard just now is doing pass and catch training with Makelele. His name is Michael Essien.

Essien is a Ghanaian football player. In 2003, he switched to Lyon. In the two seasons he played for, the team won the Ligue 0405 championship. Last season, that is, the 10 season, Essien Xin represented Lyon in the Champions League and scored 5 goals in [-] games. This performance made him elected the French Footballer of the Year.

Last summer, Mourinho brought him from Lyon to Chelsea for a high price of 3600 million euros.

He has just arrived at Chelsea, and the fans of the Blue Army have positioned him as Makelele's successor. He has outstanding physical fitness, quick movements, strong mobility, fierce style of play, and never hesitates to fight and tackle. His defensive performance is indeed similar to Makelele's, but his offensive ability is not bad.

In Chelsea's midfield this season, Lampard, Essien, and Makelele are the unshakable main players. The three-man midfield has been rated as one of the best midfield combinations in Europe by many professionals in England. , The formation composed of these three people has a really strong defensive ability.

At this time on the court, Essien was constantly doing pass training with Makelele, but his eyes were aimed at Real Madrid's half from time to time.

Not only him, but many fans at the scene, as well as some Chelsea players, all looked at Real Madrid's half court, where the world's number one player, the black-haired kid from Real Madrid, was doing shooting training.

What attracts the attention is that in Wang Li's shooting training, its "sound effect" is eye-catching, and the sound of "boom" and "boom" can be heard clearly even in Chelsea's half. It was so frightening that many fans were worried whether the football under Wang Li's feet would be kicked off.

Chelsea's players didn't respond much. Most of them were Wang Li's teammates last season, and only a few of them just joined the team this season. The most surprising thing is these few people.

Among them was Essien.

"His strength is so great." Essien said with emotion as he and Makelele passed the ball to each other.

Makelele looked at Wang Li's direction and smiled, then suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to Essien solemnly and said, "By the way, don't use too dangerous moves against him during the competition."

Essien was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Is it because you have a good relationship?"

Makelele patted his head, spread his hands, and said: "...I won't be merciful on the court because of my private relationship. Saying this is for your own good and angering him is definitely not a wise choice."

Essien frowned, turned his head to look at Wang Li again incomprehensibly, and said, "Okay, I see."

After Essien came to Chelsea, he got along well with his teammates, at least he got along well with his predecessor Makelele, so Makelele kindly reminded him.

Although their defensive midfielders look fierce and have a tough style on the court, Makelele, a teammate with Wang Li for a season, knows Wang Li very well. It doesn't matter if you score or win by means, but if Nausea fouls Wang Li, the retaliation will definitely be fierce.

Even if he is as fierce as Makelele, he has to admit that he is more than one grade behind this black-haired kid when he is fierce on the court.

Just look at Ruud van Nistelrooy. This unlucky Manchester United star disappeared for more than four months last season. He was kicked off the field just because of a malicious foul on a Chelsea player. He was sent off with a red card, what a poor man.Think about those poor Liverpool players, one by one happily going to the Champions League final, the result?Losing and losing, several main players went to the hospital.

And Wang Li's suspension has just ended recently. Makelele heard that in a La Liga league, Wang Li kicked another player because he injured Beckham.

But looking at the lively Beckham on the opposite side, and thinking about the unlucky player who was kicked off by Wang Li and disappeared, Makelele felt chilled.

When he was at Chelsea, Makelele was always thankful that he and Wang Li were teammates, but now they have become rivals, so he reminded Essien not to foul Wang Li maliciously, and everything must be won by normal means He didn't want his promising junior to spend the first half of the year in the hospital because of an injury on the court.

Essien didn't understand what Makelele said, but he still nodded.

After the warm-up match, Wang Li went to the pre-match press conference with head coach Carlo after returning to the locker room to change.

Carlo went first by himself, and Wang Li was one minute later than him. Therefore, at the door of the press conference hall, Wang Li happened to meet Mourinho who had just arrived.

The two walked across each other. The pair of "mentor and apprentice" who joined forces last season have now become rivals. Wang Li has become Mourinho's most troublesome Real Madrid player, and Wang Li has to face the team under Mourinho's command Chelsea's defense, now that the two have met, this is the first time the two have met since Wang Li left Chelsea.

"Good morning sir."

At the entrance of the press conference hall, the two stared at each other. After holding back for a long time, it was Wang Li who spoke first.

There is no conflict between them. Chelsea sold Wang Li only for the sake of situation and money. In other words, if there is any conflict, it is between Wang Li and Chelsea Club, but there is no conflict with Mourinho.

"Ah."

Mourinho also stopped. He nodded to Wang Li and asked, "How are you doing in Real Madrid recently? Have you adapted?"

"Okay."

Wang Li shrugged and said, "However, sir, I won't hold back during the game. If Chelsea loses, you have to be prepared."

In the face of the media, Wang Li didn't want to talk about this, because the media would misinterpret what he said because the media was stalking, and it would affect the relationship between him and Chelsea's friends, which is not good.

But facing Mourinho, he felt no pressure, so he kindly reminded him.

Obviously, Mourinho didn't like this kind reminder, and the Portuguese's face instantly turned from red to black.Just now, he thought that the black-haired boy in front of him was still as polite as before, but now he changed his mind.

"We will lose?? Are you kidding me?? How is this possible!! Don't think that you have a little strength, so you are arrogant!! You must lose!!"

Mourinho yelled directly as if he had been poked into a sore spot, which caused some media who saw the two to turn the camera around, but this could no longer stop Mourinho from going mad: "You think you will Win? By what? Just by yourself?"

Wang Li shrugged his shoulders, showing a trace of helplessness on his face. He walked towards the press conference hall and said, "Sir, I am just reminding you kindly, but I still think you should pay attention to your demeanor."

Looking at Wang Li's back, Mourinho was even more furious, and he shouted: "Take care of yourself!!"

In the last season, Mourinho admired Wang Li's calm attitude. When facing every media, no matter what questions he faced, no matter what he said, he would have an indifferent temperament.

But now, this kind of indifference is applied to him, which makes Mourinho extremely upset.

He only realized now that this black-haired boy is so hateful. You know, no one has dared to speak to him like this since he came to Chelsea, and his lack of demeanor just now has been photographed by the media.

Compared with Wang Li's indifferent and calm demeanor, Mourinho's performance is definitely clumsy enough, which even made the English media feel ashamed. Fortunately, Wang Li is also from England. A Portuguese coach is ashamed to face English players. Let them find a balance in their hearts.
