Chapter 222 A pleasant holiday in Brighton Listen to the sound of Stamford Bridge breaking!

October 11th.

In the Hale residential area, a Volvo XC90 stopped at the door of a villa, and four people, two adults and two children, walked out of the villa.

Chu Feng's expression was very helpless.

He had originally wanted to spend a vacation with Maria, but when Marius and Valentina found out, they cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to go with him.

Looking at the tearful eyes of the two little guys, Chu Feng could only nod silently in agreement.

Guardiola, on the other hand, looked very happy. With someone helping to take care of the naughty children, he and his wife could enjoy some time alone together, which they hadn't enjoyed for a long time.

This made him feel that Chu Feng wasn't that unpleasant after all.

Christina walked to the car and said, "Chu, be careful when driving. Don't forget to call when you get to Brighton."

Facing Christina's instructions, Chu Feng was not impatient at all, and took them all in his heart seriously, "Auntie, don't worry, I will bring them back the same way I brought them there."

Christina nodded when she heard this, and looked at Chu Feng with more and more satisfaction.

Every mother in the world wants her daughter to live a good life, and she is no exception.

The longer she interacted with Chu Feng, the more she discovered his strengths, especially his attitude towards things and how he dealt with people. He took care of the feelings of everyone around him.

Oh, except Guardiola.

When two people are together, they always quarrel with each other, like children who never grow up.

However, Christina found this very interesting. After all, she knew her husband very well and he loved his two daughters the most.

After fastening the seat belts for the two little guys, Chu Feng waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!!!"

The four-person journey to Brighton officially began. Watching the Volvo steadily disappear from sight, Guardiola sighed inexplicably.

Christina smiled and asked, "Are you a little disappointed that Chu is not your player?"

Guardiola touched his smooth head, curled his lips and said: "Every football coach in the world will have such an idea. Let's go, our vacation has begun!" - Chu Feng wore sunglasses and held the steering wheel steadily. Maria and the two little guys fell into a sweet dream unknowingly.

He slightly lowered his sunglasses and looked up to see the plains of England under the clear sky, with Land Rovers and Jaguars, mostly British brands, whizzing past him.

The player plays your favorite music, and the leisure and relaxation of the holiday spreads throughout your body and mind.

The mental fatigue caused by the previous high-intensity training also disappeared.

Sometimes it is very necessary to relax yourself. In life, we not only need to work hard, but also need to enjoy the beauty of life occasionally.

Every time you stop to rest is to accumulate strength again so that you can walk more steadily and firmly on the rest of the journey.

Manchester is 417 kilometers away from Brighton, which takes about 4 hours to drive.

Chu Feng didn't drive very fast and even stopped at a service area to rest. The four of them had a simple bite and then continued on their journey.

When we arrived in Brighton, the sun was already setting.

“Is there a seafood dinner tonight?”

Marius asked excitedly as he got out of the car.

In fact, the two little guys often travel on weekdays, but they are rarely without their parents' company, which makes the two little guys very excited.

To them, this is an adventure.

Everyone simply packed their luggage and drove to the seaside restaurant.

Maria took the meat out of the lobster claws and placed it on the plate in front of Chu Feng: "Brighton's lobsters and scallops are very famous. You can eat them without too much fat."

Chu Feng naturally didn't hesitate and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Maria arched her eyebrows at this.

She specially changed into an evening gown today. The tight floral dress could not cover her proud figure, and it stripped away her innocence while adding a touch of sexiness and charm.

Seeing this, Marius also opened his mouth wide to seek food.

As a result, Valentina stuffed a clove of garlic into Marius's mouth, choking him and making him cry.

Chu Feng and Maria couldn't help laughing.

The four of them had a seafood dinner in the sunset, and then walked to the beach not far away. The two little guys seemed to have unlimited energy and ran wildly on the beach covered with white sand.

"How long have we known each other?"

Maria suddenly asked tentatively.

In fact, she already had the answer in her mind, she just wanted to hear Chu Feng's answer.

"Four months?"

Chu Feng had never paid attention to such details. After all, for football players, football matches are basically the time nodes.

At the end, he suddenly realized something and hastily added: "May 3, the night of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final."

The corners of Maria's mouth twitched slightly.

Chu Feng and Guardiola are exactly the same in this regard, and she really doesn't even have the idea of ​​complaining.

"We've known each other for such a long time, don't you have anything to say?"

Maria continued to test.

To be honest, she is now a little embarrassed and angry. After all, in the eyes of the outside world, the two are already in a romantic relationship, but in fact, they have never taken the crucial step.

You can't let a girl take the initiative, right? In fact, due to Guardiola's constant changes in work location, her childhood was basically intermittent, from Spain to Germany, and then to England.

In addition, her family education was strict and she had never even been in a relationship.

It may sound magical, but it is true.

I inadvertently recalled my first encounter with this boy, in a dim bar, a clichéd story of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

She didn't know what she thought of Chu Feng, but she felt inexplicably at peace when she was with Chu Feng.

Perhaps it was because of Chu Feng's hard work and his determination to never give up in the face of any setbacks that allowed her to see her future and direction of effort, and she was deeply attracted by that unique charm.

Heroism will always be attractive.

When she was about to reveal everything, her cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

"Dad, what's going on?"

"When you stay overnight, please take care of your brother and sister and don't let them play too crazy."

"By the way, Valentina likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps."

“.”

Maria hung up the phone awkwardly, and all her previous courage disappeared.

A feeling of loss welled up in my heart.

She regretted why she didn't say it directly, since they were already so familiar with each other.

A cool night breeze blew in, and the beach was illuminated by dim lights every few meters.

A half moon rises into the quiet night sky, casting gentle moonlight on the sea and the beach.

The stars are also twinkling and smiling, like diamonds scattered in the boundless night sky.

The cool sea breeze blows gently across my face.

The waves gently embrace the shore, making beautiful and melodious sounds, like a melodious symphony.

What is Chu Feng thinking at this moment?

Of course, he didn't want to keep Maria as a backup, and he didn't want to be a scumbag who neither took the initiative nor refused. However, the painful experience before his rebirth made him not know how to bring it up.

Or he doesn't know how to face it.

To be honest, he also likes the girl next to him. Maria hopes to get rid of her father's influence and build her own career.

Her talent and hard work also made him see her unique charm that was different from other celebrity children.

A girl who combines beauty and talent, with almost no flaws, would definitely be an ideal partner.

Chu Feng didn't organize his words for a long time. At times like this, he was more accustomed to taking action, just like he did on the football field.

So he turned his head to look at Maria next to him. He seemed to see himself in the girl's pupils, which seemed to show a bit of disappointment and frustration.

"Well this is a gift for you."

Chu Feng took out a box from his pocket and when he opened it, inside lay a necklace that outlined beautiful curves and sparkled with moving light.

There are also two rose gold diamond rings on it.

The two little guys were hiding behind the trash can and whispering.

"Oh, I'm so envious of my sister!"

"Valentina, you are only 10 years old, you must not fall in love too early!"

"You know shit!"

Maria tilted her head slightly to look at the necklace and said something slightly inappropriate, "Chanel's new rose gold necklace, it hasn't been released yet, how did you get it?"

"I got it with the help of Beckham." Chu Feng replied.

"Do you know what it means?"

Maria took the necklace and looked at it carefully, then suddenly took a step forward and gave her answer on her own.

"Be closer to the one you love." - The four of them went to the largest oceanarium in the UK, the Royal Pavilion known as the British royal palace, the white cliffs next to the English Channel known as the Seven Sisters, and the world's tallest moving observation tower. Chu Feng and Maria held hands, strolled in the bohemian Kensington Gardens, and swam and played in the water beside the Brighton Palace Beach.

The two-day holiday passed in a flash and everyone returned to Manchester.

After the leisure time during the intense competition schedule, Chu Feng gradually resumed his training intensity and was full of energy.

There are only 7 days left until the Red-Blue Battle.

Manchester United players who have completed national team competitions have also returned one after another. What worries Mourinho and the coaching staff is that most of the Manchester United players have only played two games.

The FIFA virus is a very scary thing.

The players are obviously in a low state, but fortunately, Chelsea is the same.

The game between the two teams became increasingly heated before it even started, because Mourinho, the second head coach of Chelsea, was dismissed due to locker room conflicts and tactical reasons.

When visiting Stamford Bridge last season, he was ridiculed by Chelsea fans.

However, what is dramatic is that Mourinho led Manchester United to win two championship trophies last season.

Chelsea barely managed to qualify for the Europa League, and even the arrogant Conte was fired.

But the clash between the two teams this season will definitely be exciting.

Since Sarri took over as Chelsea coach, Chelsea's performance can be described as flourishing, which is both practical and highly entertaining.

In the last round of the league, they drew with Liverpool and ranked third in the standings.

21 goals scored and 5 goals conceded is a very balanced performance.

Sarri brought over the mature tactics from Naples, effectively solving the opponent's man-oriented defense and greatly improving the quality of Chelsea's offense.

Conte once set off a craze for three central defenders in the entire Premier League.

Now another Italian has come to the British mainland, holding the belief of winning the championship to challenge the two Manchester City giants! Mourinho has prepared a lot for this game. Although Sarri's free man tactics are not afraid of man-to-man defense, Manchester United's man-to-man defense is carried out in a macro area.

For example, Ashley Young marks the person who enters the flank space. When Hazard appears in the flank, Ashley Young immediately marks Hazard closely.

When Hazard left Ashley Young's area, he reminded his teammates to defend and then returned to his position to keep the formation intact.

Then Matic defended Hazard and also did not give Hazard any chance.

The closer to the penalty area, the greater the defensive density, and it is easy to complete a steal through assisting defense. It can be said that this is Mourinho's defensive art.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, Mourinho's defensive coaching ability is at the top level among all coaches in the world.

But the problem with deep defense is that the offensive intensity is insufficient. Chu Feng is very likely to become alone in the game and find it difficult to find teammates to support him.

This requires Chu Feng to rely on his personal strength to find opportunities.

How can he get the highest salary in the Premier League, and even a frighteningly high proportion of image rights? Isn't it that he needs to have a dominant performance and do things that ordinary players can't do? If he can't even bear this little pressure. And Mourinho believes that Chu Feng has this ability.

A player who has a perfect combination of speed, physique, technique, ball-playing ability and forward sense and who cannot be faulted in any way should be able to meet his requirements.

For this reason, Mourinho also sought out Chu Feng for a heart-to-heart talk.

Chu Feng didn't feel too much pressure about this, but he always felt that he was being dominated by Psy.

But he quite likes this tactical freedom.

If his teammates pass all the players and then pass the ball to him and then shoot at the empty goal, it would be somewhat unchallenging.

Mourinho once said something very well: Chu Feng, like him, yearns for challenges in his bones.

After Mourinho announced the starting lineup the day before the game, Lukaku's face turned bitter, and he had to sit on the cold bench again.

Losing weight is not as easy as you think.

It is necessary to control the ratio of muscle and fat loss, otherwise it is likely to lead to a further decline in strength.

Seeing Chu Feng gradually securing his position as center forward, Lukaku is now in tears and even has the idea of ​​transferring next season.

After all, I am considered a Belgian striker. How could it be wrong for me to be a substitute for others?

On October 20th, Stamford Bridge attracted everyone's attention.

The most anticipated game in the Premier League every season is the Reds vs. Blues match, which does not only refer to Chelsea and Manchester United, but also other teams with blue and red as their main colors.

The magnificent stadium of Stamford Bridge once again welcomed guests from Manchester.

But Chelsea fans did not welcome the other side. When the bus with the Manchester United logo came over, they booed loudly and harshly.

Most of the hatred is directed at Mourinho and Chu Feng, and the rest is directed at Matic and David Luiz.

Every Chelsea fan has an unforgettable picture in his mind, that is Manchester United's No. 7 making a shut-up gesture to tens of thousands of fans.

This is nothing short of a huge humiliation for them.

Mourinho in Busquets has been able to face it calmly. He had a wonderful past with Chelsea, but all of that has disappeared with time.

Now he is the head coach of Manchester United and he came to Stamford Bridge to win.

At the pre-match press conference.

Italian Sarri, who inherited not only Conte's job but also Conte's poor relationship with Mourinho, made the following remarks in front of a large number of media reporters.

"Although UEFA has already imposed a penalty, I think Manchester United player Chu is still being treated specially, otherwise he would definitely not be able to attend today's game."

"Of course I don't have any objection to UEFA's decision, I just think some people will always profit from it."

"And I think Mourinho should focus on his own Manchester United instead of always discussing his former club Chelsea, because I always see from social media that he makes unreasonable comments about my team and players when he is interviewed by the media."

In fact, Sarri was somewhat deceived by the maliciously edited video.

After all, since the start of this season, even if reporters asked questions about Chelsea, Mourinho would keep silent.

However, when the reporter repeated Sarri's doubts, Mourinho chose to respond with sharp words.

He can't stand criticism from others without reason.

It is precisely because of this character that he has been blamed a lot and attacked by many coaches and players.

Of course he has his own problems.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to complete their preparations and returned to the spacious player tunnel. There was no communication between the players from both sides.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When Matic and David Luiz left the team, it was not without the instigation of Hazard and others. The relationship between them was not as close as imagined, but instead revealed very strong hostility.

Hazard watched Chu Feng chatting with his teammates, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

He has always believed that he is a top talent in football and that winning the Grand Slam is only a matter of time. However, who would have thought that he has never been able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

There is nothing wrong with him loving hamburgers, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to pursue honor.

Now, seeing Chu Feng shining under Mourinho who was forced out by him, and winning the double championship in the first season in the Premier League, he felt a little uncomfortable.

And he now also recalls the good things about Mourinho.

As for the reason? As he got older, he was unable to do what he wanted. With the arrival of Sarri, the core position was changed to Jorginho, and he could only try to play as a right winger, or compete with William for the left winger.

He even took the initiative to show his goodwill to Sarri, but nothing changed.

The main reason is that Sarri cannot trust Hazard because of the previous experiences of Mourinho and Conte.

Compared to Hazard, who has a history of betrayal, Sarri still trusts his own people more.

Hazard could only accept the reality helplessly and prepare to leave next season.

Kant's eyes also fell on Chu Feng.

That short game last season caused Chelsea to lose the game. Now that he has become a world champion, he should be able to limit Chu Feng, right? In fact, he was not sure because he watched the Champions League final.

Chu Feng's performance is so BUG!

Kante looked down at his short legs and sighed in confusion.

The camera shifts back to David Luiz.

The fluffy-haired man looked at the familiar scenes around him, but his clothes changed from blue to red. Even though he had many stories in his life, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Everyone followed the referee out of the player tunnel with different thoughts in mind.

Then, on the four stands of Stamford Bridge, several huge TIFOs unfolded in the wind, and high-pitched and melodious music sounded.

“Blue is the colour, Football is the game!”

"We're all together, and winning is our aim!"

Chu Feng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Because this song sounds like a nursery rhyme, it is very suitable for babies to go on a spring outing.

During the pre-match guessing session, Zhan Jun introduced the starting lineups of the two teams.

"Since Sarri took over Chelsea, the most used formation is 4-3-3, which was also used in this game. Goalkeeper:."

"Last season, Chelsea sold many players, such as goalkeeper Courtois. Chelsea's original intention was to buy back Kovacic at a discount price, but unfortunately Manchester United intercepted and bought him out in advance."

"So Chelsea had to spend a lot of money to bring in Kepa."

"There is also the core midfielder Jorginho, who was brought in from Naples by Sarri and has performed well in the previous rounds of the league."

"Let's take a look at Manchester United's starting lineup!"

"Due to injuries to many Manchester United players during the international match day, such as McTominay, Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw, the two veterans were deployed."

"We also want to use the veterans' rich experience to limit Chelsea's wing attack."

"How will Matic and David Luiz perform when they meet their old club again?"

"Let's wait and see!"

“.”

The picture switches to a bird's-eye view, and Stamford Bridge looks like a blue giant with a bloody mouth, ready to devour all the Manchester United fans on the green field.

Beep! With the referee's whistle, the game officially began! Chelsea started passing the ball immediately after the kick-off.

As a loyal fan of 4-3-3, Sarri is particularly good at coaching offensive tactics.

All I could hear was the sound of passes coming one after another.

If Chelsea is a blue giant, then Jorginho is the brain of the giant, completing 1.2 passes almost every minute.

This is actually very scary data.

Kante also changed from a defensive midfielder to a versatile player who can create threats by getting forward.

Smooth!

This was a quality Chelsea displayed from the start, but Maguire discovered a problem.

Is that why Morata is outside the tactics?

Does Morata have the same role as Chu Feng, who needs to seek opportunities through personal abilities?

Maguire's vigilance instantly reached its peak, his eyes fixed on Morata, not missing any of Morata's moves.

Soon Chelsea's tentative attack came.

With Jorginho as the core, his teammates quickly moved without the ball, like a crazy spinning blade, constantly cutting Manchester United's defense! "The vertical movement is very frequent, mainly to pull out the vertical space."

"Pogba's attitude today was very positive! He kept chasing Jorginho and interfering with him, making it difficult for the opponent to complete the dispatch easily."

"Manchester United's regional defense is also very good!"

"Jorginho, great escape! Direct long pass to Hazard on the side!"

Burger King stopped the ball steadily in front of him, and then quickly rushed towards Ashley Young with the ball. He wanted to use his personal ability to tear open Manchester United's side defense! However, the right winger with his right foot will be subject to many restrictions.

Basically you just need to guard against the opponent's cross.

Ashley Young did the same thing. He deliberately gave up the outside line and waited for Hazard to break through before following up and constantly using his body to interfere from behind.

Bang! The football flew into the penalty area with a crisp sound.

Morata from the Apennines was a man of big scenes, scoring the only goal for Juventus in the Champions League final.

Morata's goal efficiency at the Bernabeu is far higher than Benzema, even higher than Ronaldo, but unfortunately he has never been able to impress Zidane.

Chelsea's Morata is completely lost and has become a weakling in both major and minor competitions.

He had previously failed to score a hat trick with a one-on-one opportunity, which made Conte so angry that he fell to his knees and pounded the turf.

After Morata determined the landing point, he suddenly exerted force and flew off the ground.

Fans always say that he has two weak feet.

It's simple, he just uses his head.

Unfortunately, the quality of Hazard's cross was not high. The ball brushed past his shiny hair and finally flew to the left side of the penalty area and was blocked by Valencia.

"Chelsea's first attack was in vain!"

"As far as I know, Morata had short hair when he first came to Chelsea, but he scored a lot of goals, scoring seven goals in seven games at the start of the season, and he was the talk of the town."

"Since I changed my hairstyle, I feel worse day by day."

Zhan Jun made a joke.

Zhang Lu next to him also echoed: "And Chelsea's No. 9 seems to have a curse. Kezman, Torres, Falcao, Morata, all seem to have lost themselves."

The game resumed.

Manchester United combined zone defense and man-marking defense to make the entire midfield and backcourt impregnable.

Even with Hazard and Willian, Chelsea still couldn't make any crucial progress.

Because Jorginho was restricted by Pogba, Cheshire was equivalent to missing a bridge connecting the defense and the midfield and frontcourt. He appeared many times near the center circle and was successfully intercepted by Manchester United players.

But Manchester United didn't have a very decent attack.

Chu Feng was observing Chelsea's defensive style. The two full-backs would often make deep runs forward, which forced the central defender to move to both sides.

The area in the middle can be used.

However, this requires a high level of timing in passing the ball to teammates and one's own movement.

Taking advantage of the dead ball time, Chu Feng expressed his views to his teammates and signaled them to pass the ball as far into the territory as possible.

As for Maguire, after more than 20 minutes of marking, he understood one thing.

That is, Morata is outside of Chelsea's tactics. There is no other hidden reason, it is purely because he cannot fit in.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be substituted by Giroud so often.

In the 31st minute of the game, David Luiz took advantage of Morata's retreat and seized the opportunity to make a fierce steal.

After regaining the ball, he did not make another short pass, but quickly crossed the crowded midfield!

A player with excellent free kick skills must also have good long pass skills. David Luiz's long pass accurately kicked the ball behind Jorginho.

at the same time.

Rashford and Mahrez rushed in from both wings at high speed, while Pogba quickly approached Chu Feng to prepare for the response.

Despite Rudiger's interference, Chu Feng still kept his body stable, jumped high and headed the ball back.

Then he immediately turned around and rushed into the penalty area! Pogba also understood Chu Feng's intention, and pushed forward with the arch of his foot! Sarri's right eyelid twitched at a high frequency on the sidelines, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Pull back to the middle!"

Manchester United's tactical intention was already very clear, taking advantage of the space left by Chelsea's full-backs to force the central defenders to move closer to the wings.

But the real killer move was in the middle! The football passed Rudiger's side at high speed, and Chu Feng half-turned to let the ball go to the left side in front of him, using his body to block Gary Cahill who rushed from the right.

This is the highest tactical awareness, thinking about the next steps before moving!

Gary Cahill is helpless!

Because he cannot commit fouls in the penalty area, any major movement may result in a penalty kick.

Kepa, who is worth 70 million euros, was on high alert, paying close attention to Chu Feng's center of gravity in order to predict the direction of Chu Feng's shot.

It only takes a short time to complete the posture adjustment.

Chu Feng's left leg folded up like a spring, and when his strength accumulated to the extreme, he swung it down!

Kepa rushed to the right as he heard the explosion, but before he could get overjoyed, he found that Chu Feng's shot was too powerful.

The speed of the ball must have exceeded 110km/h, and his extremely extended palm finally touched nothing!

Swish, swish, swish! The violently spinning football rubbed against the net frantically, making a sound that seemed like Stamford Bridge was breaking.

The mood of Chelsea fans fell to the bottom.

Chu Feng did not make matters worse, after all, there was a high possibility that he would get a yellow card.

He just ran towards the corner area, pointed at the camera, then pointed at himself, and made a heart shape with his hands.

The Manchester United fans in the stands were a little confused, and suddenly they remembered the news in The Sun.

《Breaking news! Manchester United player Chu Feng is dating Guardiola's daughter Maria! 》

"Oh my god! You are truly worthy of being called Chu!"

"I declare Manchester City to be Manchester United's!"

"Look, Guardiola has lost all his hair due to worry!"

“.”

In the eyes of Manchester United fans, Chu Feng is the child of Manchester United. Now their own child has abducted the rival’s child.

Their mood can only be described as refreshed.

At this time, in a classroom at the University of Manchester, Maria stared at Chu Feng on the screen of her mobile phone, smiled and touched the necklace on her chest.

As for Guardiola who was far away, he had a serious expression.

He keenly noticed Mourinho's tactical adjustments and the changes in Chu Feng's freedom.

This kind of measure, which is independent of tactics, can just break Nagelsmann's trap and is also the differentiation tactic he prepared.

The Manchester derby in the future will be difficult to play! Guardiola rubbed his sore eyebrows and once again envied Mourinho's luck.

"Close marking! Close marking! Do you understand what I mean?"

"Why didn't you follow Manchester United's No.7 when he turned around?"

Sarri threw the water bottle aside angrily.

After Rudiger interfered with Chu Feng's header, he was actually attracted by Pogba, thus letting Chu Feng, who posed the greatest threat, run away.

In his opinion, this is not right! Chelsea's substitutes and assistant coaches were silent, they didn't dare to offend Sarri at this time.

After the game resumed, Rudiger decisively chose the armpit defense. Regardless of whether the right side needed to be filled, he put all his energy on Chu Feng.

This made it difficult for Azpilicueta to advance and attack.

In addition, Manchester United contracted their defense and controlled the midfield, constantly using their physical advantage to sweep the ball, causing Chelsea's attack to stagnate.

The situation on the field then became deadlocked.
