"What did you say?"
Because he was so close to the stands, the fans celebrating their victory made it difficult for Li Shiguang to hear what Simeone was saying at first.
"I said!" Simeone shoved the phone right in front of Li Shiguang's face, pointed at the screen, and then shouted into Li Shiguang's ear, "Chelsea lost! They got thrashed by Liverpool away from home!!!"
"Huh!?" Staring incredulously at Simone, whose face was practically splitting with laughter, Li Shiguang's first reaction upon hearing the explanation wasn't joy, but astonishment!
Is Mourinho really that bad? He can't even beat Benitez now?
He quickly snatched the phone from Simeone's hand. The phone displayed a message from a colleague at Leeds United, which clearly stated: Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 at home, Milner scored twice!
? ? ?
After seeing it clearly, Li Shiguang returned the phone to Simone, and Milner's rectangular smiling face instantly appeared in his mind.
So touching!
Milner truly deserves to be called the captain he personally promoted! Even after leaving Leeds United, he still stepped up to help the team at this crucial moment!
As a result, Chelsea, who have suffered two consecutive defeats, are now 5 points behind Leeds United, who have played one game less.
From Li Shiguang's perspective, Mourinho has already gone far in the league title race this season...
····
Leeds United are about to face a stretch of three matches in eight days next week, so Li Shiguang generously gave the players a three-day break.
He was happy to have some free time. The next morning, after finishing some miscellaneous tasks in his office, he went to the airport to pick up Shakira, who had flown from Madrid immediately after learning that Leeds United was on holiday, and returned to his villa.
In the afternoon, they discussed the meaning of life in the bedroom. After dinner, Shakira leaned against Li Shiguang, and the two of them sprawled on the sofa watching TV.
The match about to begin is Arsenal hosting Manchester United.
"Li, didn't you get a lot of flak for saying in an interview that Leeds United would win the league title this season?" After feeding Li Shiguang a grape, Shakira looked at Ferguson being interviewed on TV and suddenly asked him about it.
“These grapes are pretty sweet, have another one.” Li Shiguang, with a mischievous grin, slurped a mouthful to the side and replied, “Yeah, once at a post-match press conference, I ran into a jerk from the Manchester Evening News who kept asking me questions. He got annoyed, so I threw him some feed. But it doesn’t matter, this was my goal this year anyway, the championship. It’s not like Leeds United hasn’t won one before.”
"Ouch~" Shakira first reached out and patted Li Shiguang, then took a grape and put it in Li Shiguang's mouth: "The Championship counts too?"
"You look down on the Championship?"
"No, but look at Ferguson, didn't he say that Manchester United would definitely win the Premier League title this year?"
····
On television, Ferguson was giving a pre-match interview. After refusing to answer questions related to Wenger, a reporter changed the subject and asked him if he had watched the two matches last night.
Ferguson was in a fairly good mood today, so he didn't refuse the question. After thinking for a moment, he began to express his opinion.
"I must admit, Leeds United are in very strong form. Everyone saw it, they beat Everton at home without breaking a sweat. To be honest, I feel sorry for David. Before Lee came along, I thought he was a role model for young managers in the Premier League, but Lee's arrival changed my mind. I watched the whole game last night, both halves, and in terms of tactical planning, Lee completely outclassed David!"
Clearly surprised that Ferguson would speak so highly of his direct rival, another reporter immediately thrust a microphone in Ferguson's face: "Sir Ferguson, so you also believe that Leeds United will be the biggest obstacle on Manchester United's road to the title?"
Ferguson smiled and shook his head: "You can't call it an obstacle, after all, Manchester United is in the lead right now. And this year's Manchester United is invincible. Lee is still young, he has plenty of time to strive for future trophies."
Tch~ This old man, I don't know where he gets his confidence from!
Looking at Ferguson's flushed face on TV, Li Shiguang felt both annoyed and amused.
"And what about Chelsea? Do you think they can still pose a threat to Manchester United after two consecutive defeats? Mourinho reiterated in an interview last night that Chelsea is still in the title race and has not fallen behind!"
"Heh heh heh!" Ferguson had never been polite to Mourinho. "By that logic, we'd have to be more than 20 points behind Manchester United to be considered falling behind. And someone who wins championships by parking the bus, I've never thought he could pose any threat to Manchester United!"
"Hahahahahahahaha~" After hearing Ferguson's words, Li Shiguang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This old man is truly a love-hate figure; his terrible temper drove away many talented players from the team, yet none of the players who left Manchester United ever said a bad word about him...
After waiting for about half an hour, tonight's highly anticipated showdown finally began.
Ferguson deployed his most frequently used formation this season, the 4-3-3, with Rooney, Ronaldo, and Berbatov leading the attack, while veterans Giggs and Scholes provided the assists.
Wenger, playing at home, was naturally not going to be outdone, fielding his strongest lineup!
With Van Persie and Henry occupying the forward positions, and Fabregas leading the midfield, whose form has recently improved, Wenger is looking forward to their performance today!
