Chapter 28
A two-month vacation is neither long nor short.
However, it was naturally very short for Zhou Liran, because the training days were one after another. He trained with his eyes open and slept with his eyes closed. After training indoors for more than two months, Zhou Liran's eyes became a little pale.
"It wasn't very obvious the last time I saw you," Xiao Xiao Luo compared his arm with Ritter's arm, "Look, yours is much whiter than mine!"
Zhou Liran glanced at Xiao Xiao Luo's face and asked, "Am I whiter, or are you darker so I look whiter?"
If he accidentally got tanned, then Xiao Xiao Luo would naturally be shocked and would keep saying "Why did I get tanned?" for a long time. However, this person obviously tanned himself on purpose, because after Zhou Liran said this, Xiao Xiao Luo coughed lightly and turned his head away, doing the act of covering his ears and stealing the bell.
"What? Are you going to show everyone your masculinity?" Zhou Liran laughed, "Your strength won't improve in a short time, so you're going to change your appearance first? Then why do you still have curly hair?"
Xiao Xiao Luo was startled and quickly covered his head with his hands, "My hair is fine, it doesn't need to be changed!"
"You value your hair so much?" Zhou Liran burst out laughing and patted Ronaldinho on the shoulder. "I didn't say I wanted to change your hair, but you don't seem to be determined enough. You want to get yourself tanned but you can't bear to part with your hair? If it were me, I would just shave my head, tattoo a devil on my arm, and sign up for a martial arts class to build up my muscles. People on the court would be scared when they see me, for fear that they would end up in the morgue if I punched them."
Xiao Xiao Luo stood up without waiting for Zhou Liran to finish. After hearing what Zhou Liran said, he was even more shocked. "You, you... this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"We are playing football, not fighting. There is no need to do this, right?"
Zhou Liran sat up straight and said seriously, "It is very necessary. The court is the battlefield and we ourselves are the weapons. If we cannot arm ourselves to every tooth, how can we win the best victory on the battlefield?"
Little Luo was silent for a moment, and even if he was slow, he finally reacted: Ritt was obviously trying to insult him in a roundabout way!
"How could I think so?" Xiao Luo stretched out his arms and shook them. "It's summer, the sun is so strong outside, I will definitely get tanned if I run every day! I don't mean to get tanned!"
"Actually, tanning is good," Zhou Liran smiled, "but it's not worth it to deliberately tan yourself just to intimidate your opponents on the court. The new season is about to start, what should I do if I get sunburned?"
"I'm not stupid, how could I get sunburned?"
"Have you seen a doctor? Have you asked questions? Have you sought help from professionals?"
"Mendez..."
"Isn't Mr. Mendes a broker? He knows this? When did he get the certificate? Is he so amazing?"
Ronaldinho remained silent. After a while, he reached out and pulled Zhou Liran again and said, "We at Manchester United will also have a physical examination soon. Let's take a look together then. You are right. I can't let this affect my career. By the way, what about you Chelsea? I heard that Mr. Mourinho has a conflict with your chairman again?"
Zhou Liran's smile faded, and then he sighed softly, "Are you on good terms with the chairman of your club?"
…………
The only time Zhou Liran asked Xiao Xiao Luo for advice on this issue, Xiao Xiao Luo was very active in helping to answer the questions, but his experience was completely useless. Because Chelsea is different from Manchester United, the Manchester United top management has given coach Ferguson a lot of power, and transfers are all based on Ferguson. As long as Ferguson can continue to win with Manchester United and continue to bring a lot of good news to the club, the Manchester United top management is the best capitalist in the world.
But Chelsea's top management - to be honest, there is only one Abramovich. Other Premier League teams probably have more than a dozen top management members, and there are power struggles and stuff, but Chelsea is basically a one-man show led by Abramovich. Although he showed a good attitude to the outside world, that did not touch his bottom line. As long as he was unwilling or unhappy, no matter what it was, you had to listen to him in the end.
In the past, Chelsea coaches were all short-tempered, but Mourinho was not like that. After the summer transfer window opened on July 1, he wanted to buy several defenders that he had long favored, but they were all rejected by Abramovich. The latter provided some lists, but they were all rejected by Mourinho.
I don't know what the quarrel was between these two people, and how the matter was known to the outside world. In short, the rumors about the disagreement between the team chairman and the head coach are rampant. But at this critical juncture, Mourinho bought some frontcourt players, and the only one he bought was the winger Malouda from Lyon for only 13.5 million pounds, while the rest, Ben Haim, Pizarro and Seidewell, were all free transfers!
Since Abramovich came to Chelsea, Chelsea has never been so poor in the transfer market, and Mourinho directly stated after these players signed the contract that Chelsea did not need to sign any more players this year - this added fuel to the fire. There were so many news in the entire Premier League transfer market, but in the end, Chelsea, which only paid 13.5 million pounds this year, became the top player in the transfer market.
Fortunately, neither Mourinho nor Abramovich accepted interviews, so no matter how much the media speculated, it was just speculation.
The two of them didn't chat for long that day before ending the topic. It wasn't that Ronaldinho didn't want to continue gossiping with Zhou Liran, but Zhou Liran suddenly found something from his memory: the famous coach Mourinho had been to Chelsea twice! He didn't remember the exact time, but judging from the current situation, it might be over soon after he entered the palace?
He is now Mourinho's man, and Chelsea's big boss Abramovich is obviously impatient with Mourinho and doesn't want to do anything anymore...
Zhou Liran rubbed his face in annoyance and thought for a long time but still couldn't find a good solution. In the end, he could only stay calm and do his best: win the few club friendly matches before the new season.
No matter what happens above, as long as he has strong abilities, he will be able to gain a foothold in the team. This is an eternal truth.
On July 15, 2007, the first club friendly match before the new season officially began, and Zhou Liran officially appeared at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea's starting goalkeeper.
