Chapter 109: Battle of Tianwang Mountain! (2)
LeTV Sports live broadcast room at this time.
"Good evening, audience friends. It is now 00:30 in China. We would like to wish you all happiness and good health in the new year!"
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu bowed towards the camera.
"Now we are broadcasting the 21st round of the 2017-18 Premier League!"
"Manchester United vs Manchester City!"
"A competition between two teams that are the favorites to win the championship, and a clash between two of the hottest coaches in world football today."
"Just thinking about it makes me excited and my blood boils."
"And if United can beat City, they will tie Juventus' record of 44 home games unbeaten and move to the top of the standings."
"If City beat Manchester United, they will break the winning streak set by Arsenal and pull away from Manchester United who are chasing them closely."
“This is a game of extraordinary significance!”
"The game will be broadcast live simultaneously in 212 countries and regions around the world, and is expected to be watched by 720 million people, surpassing the previous Red Devils match."
“.”
The Chinese fans in the live broadcast room had just celebrated the New Year and rushed home to turn on the TV. Tonight's game must not be missed.
Not to mention the popularity of the Tianwang Mountain Battle itself, Chu Feng's comeback alone is enough to keep them staying up late.
The barrage instantly flooded the screen. - [I heard that Xiaochu will start? Isn't it fake news? ] - [It shouldn't be. Mourinho said this in an interview the day before yesterday. ] - [Mourinho often throws smoke bombs. I really can't believe what he says. ] - [And I saw the video posted on Manchester United's official Twitter account. Xiaochu's injury has completely recovered and he can do high-intensity training. ] - [Why hasn't Xiaochu opened an account yet? I've been trying so hard to find some news about him. ] - [If Manchester United can beat Manchester City, then they will stand firm in momentum and will move forward with more confidence towards the Premier League championship. ] - [Yes, and the players' morale will be greatly enhanced. This is more important than skills and tactics in a long season. Every Premier League champion team has cultivated the temperament of a champion in one victory after another. ] - [So this game is very critical and will largely determine the champion of the Premier League this season. ] - [Come on Manchester United!!! ] - [Come on Xiaochu! As long as he scores a goal today, I will buy a Xiaodao electric car! 】 - 【.】
The pre-match press conference at this time.
"There is no difference between possession and counterattack, it's just different tactical philosophies of the coaches."
"Of course my first goal is to keep the ball, but I also know that I have to be organised because once you lose the ball, Manchester United will punish you with quick counterattacks."
"Both Lukaku and Chu can run 30 meters with the ball and create all kinds of dangers. They both have such ability."
Guardiola spoke freely in response to reporters' questions.
"So do you have anything to say to Mr. Mourinho?"
A reporter from The Guardian raised his hand to ask a question.
Guardiola seemed to recall the old days when he still had hair, and said with a smile: "We have been competing for many years from La Liga to the Premier League. I feel like we are like twins!"
"Based on your total number of wins and losses"
The reporter was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"I never beat Mourinho and he never beat me."
"Our teams beat each other, so I'm not competing against Mourinho and he's not competing against me."
Guardiola shook his head.
A press conference was also being held at another conference.
"You and Guardiola are rivals again, what has become of your personal relationship?"
The Sun reporter's words were full of thorns and were meant to create anxiety.
Mourinho did not get angry, but answered seriously: "You know what? Pep and I worked together for three years. At that time, we saw each other every day, celebrated together for winning the game, and were disappointed together for losing the game."
"There are some things that people don't see, and we don't have to share them. We share them now because we have the opportunity."
"So there is no change in our personal relationship and any football issues will be resolved during the game."
"As for the tactical style issue you mentioned?"
"Football is great, every coach has their own way of playing and fans should enjoy different ways of playing."
“It’s that simple!”
The reporters in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is this still the Mourinho they knew? How come he is less aggressive than before and his temper is gradually getting better?
At this time, players from both sides completed their warm-up and returned to the locker room.
Mourinho has rarely been encouraging himself recently, just to save it for today, and his expression is very solemn.
"We have been on such a smooth journey that many people, including you here, may have become a little complacent."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"If you go to the game with this mentality, you will only end up in a miserable defeat."
"We still have a long way to go and only by working twice as hard can we bring Manchester United, the most prestigious team in the world, back to the top."
"You are all brave fighters with the heart of a champion. I don't need to say much."
"Fight for my family, fans, teammates, and myself!"
"It's not like Manchester City won't lose. Let's end their winning streak and keep the honor at Old Trafford!"
The infectious power of language is at its peak at this moment. It will excite every cell in your blood and then provide powerful energy on the field.
"come on!!!"
The Manchester United players linked their hands together and let out a deafening roar.
The same scene happened in the away dressing room.
Although Guardiola is usually easy-going, his speaking skills are no worse than Mourinho's.
Moreover, he can mix specific training methods with motivation, which does not sound empty and boring and enables people to find a clear goal.
The emotions of Manchester City players were also aroused, and shouts echoed in every corner of the locker room.
Half an hour later, in the player tunnel.
Ibrahimovic stood at the end of the line, looking at Guardiola with hostility in his eyes. The grudge between the two was very complicated and could not be explained in just a few words.
When Ibrahimovic left Barcelona, he left a message.
"I didn't dare touch you in Catalonia, but I'll beat you up every time I see you from now on!"
Of course he can't hit people, so he has to fight back with victory. It's a pity that he didn't start the game, but he has plenty of patience.
De Bruyne stared at Chu Feng. Ever since they met at the last Champions League draw ceremony, he had developed a great interest in this person.
The progress is so fast Even he is surprised, and today we need to focus on it.
