Chapter 180 Warm-up Match (1)
Every team has its own cliques.
After these familiar players have been in the team for a while, they will naturally gather in groups of three or four in daily training and life. Of course, in many cases, the cornerstone of such small groups is national characteristics, such as Inter Milan's famous Brazilian gang.
As he got along with his teammates, Wang Li undoubtedly joined the "England Gang", which, as the name suggests, is a small group of English players in the team. These people have one thing in common: they are all England national team players, including Lampard, Joe Cole, Bridge, Wang Li, and perhaps a "substitute" - Thomas. John Terry also has this characteristic, but Wang Li always feels a little distant from Terry, probably because he is the captain of the team.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chelsea is an international team.
It's really ironic that most of the players in the team are "foreigners" and there are only a few English people, so perhaps for the sake of unity, they have to come together to consolidate the position of the English in the team.
Of course, this is just Wang Li's own understanding of the team's current situation. In fact, although Chelsea does not have that kind of united atmosphere, there are no conflicts between the players. Due to the huge changes in Chelsea in the past two years, most of the players are newcomers. When they are not familiar with each other, it is difficult for them to have any conflicts or friendships.
But Wang Li does not have such worries. Although he is the youngest among these English players, his calm temperament and way of doing things make it easy for people to ignore his age. Coupled with the strength he shows in usual training, he seems to have become the boss "behind the scenes" of the England gang.
The reason for saying this is that Wang Li likes to "follow the crowd" most of the time, but if he takes the initiative to propose or decide something, basically no one will object. At least Thomas, Joe Cole, and Bridget will never object. Ever since Thomas showed off a set of Fu Hu boxing in front of them, Joe Cole and Bridget have become Wang Li's loyal fans.
As for the middleman Thomas, he has been ignored...
Of course, little Angela has a different view of Wang Li. To her, Wang Li is her boyfriend, idol, half support... and now a porter.
"You didn't come to see me during the holidays, so you have to stay with me today!" Next to the Regent Street District, Angela was wearing a small vest, holding Wang Li's arm, and the two peaks of her chest kept rubbing against each other, making people drool. She pouted her little mouth and said excitedly.
"Well, let's go." Wang Li was itchy because of her and he couldn't stand it anymore.
In fact, compared to Rita, shopping with Angela is definitely a pleasure. She doesn't have to bother buying things, and she buys very little, mostly going to small jewelry stores. This means Wang Li doesn't have to drag too many handbags in embarrassment. Moreover, in passive situations, he is always taken advantage of by Angela...
"Annie, how long will you stay in England? Will you ever come back to America?"
Angela pouted and thought for a while, "About a month or so, which can be considered a vacation. Fortunately, Uncle Cole helped me, otherwise I would be too busy!"
"Then...you can stay at my place for the next few days." Wang Li calmed himself down and looked at Angela expectantly.
Angela's pretty face immediately turned red, "Humph, what bad ideas are you coming up with again!"
"No, I just missed you."
"Really? Stop the sweet talk and think about your beautiful agent!" Angela glanced at Wang Li and said involuntarily, but even so, her hands were still on Wang Li.
Wang Li smiled awkwardly, "She is just my agent, don't think too much about it."
"Really?" Angela's eyes flashed with cunning, "Then I'll think about it, but you have to stay with me all day."
"Okay." Wang Li spread his hands helplessly.
In fact, Wang Li was very excited. He might be about to start a real cohabitation life. It was really worth imagining what would happen.
To achieve this goal, Wang Li would never frown even if he spent a whole day or even a whole week shopping. Of course, this is on the premise that Mr. Mourinho approves his vacation - which is almost impossible!
As the league draws closer, Wang Li's mind gradually shifts from his holiday life to the team.
It is already August 9th. In five days, that is, August 14th, the 180th chapter of the Premier League will be held. Under the leadership of Latherne, Chelsea won the third place in the league last season, but it seems that Abrahamovich is still not satisfied, so he invited Mourinho, the champion coach of Porto, and the annual salary of 5 million pounds also made the latter the most expensive head coach in the world! Now, Chelsea has been transformed, and the three fronts are really star-studded, but whether they can achieve results comparable to the lineup has become the focus of everyone's attention-perhaps most of the media are ready to see Mourinho's joke now, he really offended too many people. "
Indeed, except for the local media in Chelsea, almost all the media in England are waiting to see Chelsea's joke, as long as Chelsea performs poorly in the first few rounds, or even as long as Chapter 180 is closed!" At this moment, Bridge's shout interrupted Wang Li's thoughts. He stood up, picked up the small backpack at hand, and walked out of the locker room.
In front of the main gate of Chelsea Club, after all the players arrived and the number of people was counted, they got on the bus and drove towards Manchester County.
Wigan Athletic is a team from Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. It was founded in 1932. The players' history does not have any outstanding performance. Since the team was established, it has been fighting from the lowest level league, but the results have been getting better and better every year. Until now, they have become the leader of the English Second League. This year's Wigan Athletic is even surprisingly strong. After introducing many strong players in the summer transfer, the media believes that they are likely to be promoted to the Premier League next season.
However, for Chelsea players, these don’t matter at all. After all, it is just a Championship team. Even the salary of one Chelsea player can cover that of their entire team. That’s the difference!
Although this is just a warm-up match, Chelsea's players are still very excited because this is Chelsea's first game of the new season and Mourinho's first game as Chelsea coach. Perhaps the performance of this game will determine the position of the players in the head coach's mind.
Wang Li knew that no matter how famous he was or how many fans he had, it would be of no use to this cold-faced coach.
Therefore, whether you can get the starting position directly depends on your performance in this game.
