Chapter 208: Expedition to Vienna

After the game, many media reporters stood in the player tunnel, waiting to interview the stars who returned to the locker room. Although most of the players felt very tired after just finishing a game, many players still stopped and talked about their views on the game when facing the reporters' microphones.

"Mr. Stroker is a very talented coach, I agree with this very much, so even though he asked the team to hold on to one point before the game, I still resolutely implemented his tactics." Southampton midfielder A-Svensson looked a little disappointed, and it seemed that he was not satisfied with the score. "We almost succeeded, but in the end the opponent scored a goal with a free kick. I feel very sad that we didn't get any league points."

In the final stage of the game, Wright-Phillips, who performed outstandingly, also said: "The opponent's defense was too good and we had almost no chances. This kind of game can be a headache, but I believe I can perform better. I hope to conquer the fans with my performance. Maybe I should learn from the opponent's No. 21. He performed very well in the Wolverhampton team before. I hope I can achieve such success."

Compared to Southampton's disappointment, the victorious Chelsea players were much more cheerful. Bridge smiled and said, "The team has won again. I don't know how many times this has happened. Maybe I should thank the chairman. It was his money that gave me so many outstanding teammates."

When Wang Li heard Bridget's words, he rolled his eyes helplessly. He knew that this kid must be thinking about the bonus after the game. He turned to the reporters and smiled, saying: "The game was very difficult, but in the end we still won. I just hope that this victory can continue and not stop. Of course, I will play every game well for this goal." After that, he pulled Bridget towards the locker room.

Wang Li certainly doesn't want the victory to end. That not only means a failure, but also means the end of the winning bonus. After each game, he can get a large sum of money, so Wang Li is of course looking forward to it.

In this way, Mr. Abramovich's bonus strategy has indeed greatly strengthened the players' desire to win. Perhaps, in many cases, the simplest method is the most effective. This seems to be the same as the "return to nature" in martial arts? .

2-0, this is the final score. Maybe Southampton does not need to be too disappointed. Compared with Chelsea's first three opponents, they are lucky enough. But obviously, Mr. Paul Stroke does not think so. For a head coach with great dreams, failure is always failure, and he will not find other ways to comfort himself.

"Chelsea is a strong team. They are much stronger than us in all three fronts, so before the game, I only arranged a tactic for the team to get one point at Stamford Bridge. In the first half, our players did a good job and they successfully defended the goal, but in the end, this defense still lost in a free kick. I have to admit that Chelsea's No. 21 player is really good and our defense lost to him. Congratulations to Chelsea for getting a real star."

Paul Stroke's post-match summary was very sincere, and his remarks received applause from all the reporters. Even the usually "arrogant" Mourinho had to admit that the opposing Scottish head coach did have the strength to be his opponent. If the opponent had a team as strong as Chelsea, he would not dare to say that he would be able to gain an advantage in the match.

As for victory?

Luck also plays a big part in victory on the football field. As a championship coach, Mourinho does not have such naive ideas as "must win". Even if he talks about victory all the time when facing reporters, it is just an act to boost the morale of his team.

"We won the victory by luck, yes, very luckily. The opponent's defense is very strong and it is difficult for us to break through their dense defense. I think with this strength, Birmingham will be able to achieve good results this season. I hope they can succeed." To everyone's surprise, facing the reporters in the audience, Mourinho also humbly complimented the Birmingham team.

"Mourinho, sir, what do you think of the young player Allen Wang who made one assist and one goal in this game?" Obviously, although the remarks of the two head coaches made sense, this was not the news that the reporters wanted to hear. They wanted to know more about the news about the focus figures that the fans were paying attention to.

Mourinho smiled slightly. He understood the mentality of these reporters very well. For the 'madman', playing psychological warfare and 'communication' with these reporters was sometimes his pleasure: "Alan Wang? I am very satisfied with his performance. You saw it, one pass and one goal? What else can I ask for?"

After saying that, Mourinho walked out of the press conference, leaving behind a group of stunned reporters.

……..

The fifth round of the Premier League will not start until September 11, which is almost half a month away, and the Premier League clubs have not had many games in this half month. However, for the top four teams in the league last season, this period of time is of great significance, because the draw ceremony for the group stage of the Champions League will be held on September 9.

Having said that, for some big-name stars, this period is not free, because they still have two games to play, that is, the World Cup qualifiers group stage in early September.

The upcoming 2006 World Cup European qualifiers in Germany will be held. The European zone is divided into eight groups, each with six teams. The team that comes first will naturally qualify directly. If it is the second in the group, it will have to play in the play-offs with the second place in other groups. A total of eight teams will compete for the remaining five qualifying places.

In this qualifying match, England was placed in Group 6, along with Poland, Austria, Northern Ireland, Wales and Azerbaijan. England is a traditional European powerhouse and is naturally the seeded team in Group 6. Judging from the strength, the other teams are indeed far behind England, so England hardly needs to consider qualifying from the group stage.

According to the schedule set by FIFA, in the first round, England will travel to Vienna to challenge Austria, and in the second round of the group stage, England will move to Wroclaw to challenge Poland.

Although the schedule seems very tight, for the England team, apart from Poland which poses some threat in Group 6, the other teams can be said to be vulnerable. There is no suspense at all in this kind of game, so head coach Eriksson has no pressure at all.

Although just 12 years ago, the England team encountered strong opponents such as the Netherlands and Norway in the qualifiers and failed to qualify for the World Cup qualifiers, the England team is now completely different. With many world-class stars, the England team has truly become a world-class powerhouse. Facing such weak opponents, there is no need to worry at all.

Although this statement may sound a bit arrogant, it is true, just like you can't expect a country's men's football team to win a certain cup.

On August 30, the national team coach Eriksson also announced the roster of players for the matches against Austria and Poland. All the names of the players who played in Europe last time were on the list. In addition, controversial players such as Jermaine Pennant, Emile Heskey, Alan Smith, Wright-Phillips, etc. were also on the roster.

In fact, Mr. Eriksson may have taken into consideration the physical fitness of these England stars in "multi-line operations", so this list includes the names of 31 stars. In other words, the Swede seems to want to experience the "rotation" in the national team.

Despite this, the English media generally support Eriksen's approach. The Premier League schedule is too tight. If it is a top team, it is even more unimaginable. After October, the club will face multiple battles. In addition to the league, the European Champions League or the UEFA Cup, League Cup, FA Cup and other series of competitions will surely make these stars exhausted. Being able to participate in one less "no suspense" national team game will surely save a lot of physical strength.

Of course, Wang Li doesn't care about all this in his life. In these days, in addition to his daily training, Wang Li and Angela are living a happy world of two.

The villa in the wealthy area that Abrahammovich chose for him was indeed very nice. At least no reporter could come here to interview him, so almost no one came to disturb the two in their daily lives.

Of course, sometimes embarrassment is unavoidable.

"Annie, you are so charming."

Wang Li, who had just returned home from the club, was hugging Angela on the sofa in the living room, his hands unconsciously moving around. This made Angela think of their recent ridiculous things. Her eyes were full of lust, and she lay powerlessly on Wang Li, letting him do whatever he wanted.

The caressing of each other makes the passion of love more intense...

The dishevelled state of clothes made the lewd atmosphere continue to spread...

When the two were gradually getting into the mood and were about to fall into the sea of ​​desire again, the nanny Diana Jones suddenly came out of the kitchen. Seeing the man and woman lying on the sofa, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"Sorry, I didn't see anything." The mature Diana covered her mouth and chuckled, then went back to work.

At this time, the room was left with only the awkward man and woman looking at each other. The shy girl began to doubt her choice in her heart.

'Should I find a new nanny?'

As a football player, especially one who wants to be the best star, it is impossible to indulge in the gentle countryside all the time. On September 3, Wang Li took a small backpack and flew to Vienna, the capital of Austria, with his national team teammates to participate in the first game of the qualifiers.
