Chapter 28 Opportunity
"Captain, you shouldn't have hit the top of that ball before!"

"I just slipped under my feet. Is that why you blame others?"

In the Blues locker room, La Nieli took Duff, who had performed well recently, to the press conference, while the "left behind" captain Desailly had a conflict with Cudicini.

Both were shirking responsibility for the second goal, which was clearly the last straw for the Blues.

Conceding a goal with one more player?

The next day's headline in London is definitely this!
Don't know how Manchester United will humiliate them!

"If it weren't for you to take the top, do you think I would choose to attack rashly?"

"Shut up you! Your hands are as slippery as butter!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two gradually escalated, Lampard, Hasselbaink and others hurried forward to pull the two apart.

Without the quarrel between the two, the locker room fell into an eerie calm for a while.

Chelsea was already reorganizing, and players like Crespo and Mutu who joined this season sat aside, watching the quarrel between the two with cold eyes; the veterans were also anxious because their starting positions were always under threat.

As a substitute goalkeeper, Tang Wu was fortunate to sit in the corner and witness all this happen.

"Fack, if anything happens, blame your teammates. You don't deserve to be the captain!" Cudicini became angrier as he thought about it. He threw his jersey on the ground and walked away.

Desailly, as a central defender who has been ranked in the top ten of the Ballon d'Or three times, naturally knows that more than half of the responsibility for that mistake lies with himself.

But what he couldn't bear was the complaining accusation of Cudicini, a junior, after the game. If Cudicini didn't have a buttery hand, or he came out one step earlier and knocked the ball away, the ball was just a very common "accident" "That's all.

Now, when the "accidents" of the defender and the goalkeeper are superimposed, it creates a goal for the opponent's striker.

After all, in the concept of ordinary people, the goalkeeper is still the last person who should not make mistakes!
"We had a good start, we tried to score but our two errors gave them two goals."

''If you make a mistake in the Champions League, 99 per cent it means the opponent is going to score. "

"The opponents didn't give us space and when a team hides like them, you can't expect to do anything," Ranieri added. "It was like an impenetrable wall in front of us."

The reporters quickly caught the loophole in La Nieli's words, and quickly raised their hands to ask: "Could it be that top shooters like Crespo and Mutu can't break through this wall?"

The double starts of Crespo and Mutu still brought Chelsea nothing. Although they adjusted the lineup in time in the second half and dispatched the combination of Duff and Hasselbaink, the opponent still relied on solid defense. All goalscorers for the Blues.

The question asked by this reporter was exactly the most troublesome lineup arrangement for La Nieli.

Giving Mutu and Crespo time to adapt to the cooperation of their teammates and the rhythm of the Premier League means that it is difficult for other Chelsea veterans to have time to play; however, the result of not allowing them to appear frequently will be like today, waiting for their own substitutions to remedy It was too late.

Ranieri glanced at Duff next to him, cleared his throat and replied: "Football is a game of eleven players, and it is not possible to win a game by relying on just one or two strikers. Chelsea currently has many outstanding strikers and strikers. For players in other positions, the most important thing at this stage is how to match them together to produce a more intense chemical reaction."

Hearing that Ragnari avoided answering the starting question on the striker line, the reporters were not to be outdone, and continued to raise their hands to ask: "Coach Ragnari, is the recent news that Gud Johnson will leave Chelsea in the winter is true? ?”

The "four mountains" such as Crespo, Mutu, Hasselbaink, and Duff are blocking the front. Gudjohnsen has often been unable to make the 16-man roster recently.

Therefore, Manchester City and Everton also have frequent contact with this top striker, promising that as long as the Icelandic striker transfers, they can start for each other.

Whether he would rather be a dragon's tail than a bull's head, Gudjohnsen himself did not give a clear answer.

But looking at the current situation, if Chelsea does not show some sincerity, the Iceland international will not sit on the Blues bench for another season at most.

After the whole press conference, La Nieli was physically and mentally exhausted.

He is very aware of his current situation.

While Abramovich gave him the greatest power, he also gave him an ultimatum-if he cannot create a strong blue team that satisfies the boss in a short period of time, La Nieli's career at Stamford Bridge will come to an end.

Back in the locker room, La Nieli just wanted to say a few words of comfort to everyone, to improve morale.But found that the atmosphere was not right, everyone looked at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong? What happened? Where's Cudicini?" La Nieli frowned.

"I don't know where that irresponsible coward went!" Seeing the head coach looking at him, Desailly said with a blank look.

Apparently he was still annoyed that the coach didn't bring him to the press conference.

"What's going on?" Ragnari asked again.

"Coach, it's like this." Richards leaned over and recounted the ins and outs of what just happened.

After listening to La Nieli, his old face immediately pulled down.

As a coach known as the "Tinker" in later generations, La Nieli's biggest headache is this kind of locker room problem.

Usually approachable, in exchange for the lack of majesty in the locker room at critical moments.

At this time, if the captain can't help him settle the conflict, La Nieli will really shine, and he can only be caught blind.

But this time, the Italians are well aware of the current situation.Maybe these players didn't do well, so they left first.

Thinking of this, La Nieli frowned in a rare way. Although his voice was not loud, there was an unquestionable atmosphere: "Since he wants to leave, let him go! Tom, you will start the next game!"

"Good coach!" Tang Wu replied in a well-mannered manner.

Terry, Lampard and others looked at Tang Wu and secretly praised his luck.

If it was Sullivan who was sitting here today, I'm afraid Ranieri would say the same thing!

In the evening, in the Lux bar near his home, Cudicini has already filled with empty wine bottles in front of him.

Although he was not suspended, La Nieli's reaction has already explained everything.

The quarrel with the captain during the day is nothing more than a dispute between the goalkeeper and the defender.This kind of thing can be big or small, more or less.

But let that TOM cat start the next game?Cudicini has long transferred his grievances to the coaches of his own clan.

In the previous two games, Tang Wu's starting could be explained by his own rotation, so Sullivan's starting could not be explained in such a lame way.

If Cudicini had a choice, he would rather have Tang Wu appear in two consecutive games - because it might be because Tang Wu performed well in the first game and the coach rewarded him.

But the reality is that after Tang Wu won the best team of this round of the Premier League, La Nieli did not hesitate to use Sullivan.In three games, Chelsea's three goalkeepers took turns.

What does this mean?
It shows that La Nieli is not training rookie goalkeepers for Chelsea.

It's helping Chelsea choose a real main force!
Falk!This damn rotation system!

Cudicini's eyes were cloudy, and after cursing, he slammed the empty wine glass on the table.

Looking at the dancing and dancing bar hall in front of him, the Italian grinned, and slapped a black-skinned beauty in revealing clothes holding a wine glass on the ass.

"Hey girl, are you free tonight?"

"It depends on how much you can pay, sir!" The black girl in a bikini had an afro and was not annoyed by Cudicini's slap.Instead, he turned his head and bent over the Chelsea goalkeeper.

"Are these enough?" The drunk Cudicini took out a large amount of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them directly into the black girl's chest.

Looking at the one hundred denominations above, the black girl grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Sir, I think we should go to the room and have a good talk." The black girl sat on Cudicini's left leg and said with one hand holding the other's chin.

"Extremely happy!" Cudicini picked up the black girl and walked towards the inner hall of the bar.
