Chapter 420-480 Chapter 488 Tit for Tat (asking for monthly ticket)
Silence, perhaps waiting for an explosion?
This is what is happening at the pre-match press conference at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The silent big mouth Mourinho is no longer silent, and the silent Wang Li also squeezed out Carlo's right to speak and started a one-on-one confrontation with Mourinho. ?
“He doesn’t respect me!”?
When asked by reporters what the two said in the corridor, Mourinho said indignantly: "I was his former coach, but he didn't respect me. This kind of player has no quality at all. I really regret buying him from Wolverhampton, and now I am glad that the team sold him."
"Now, this unqualified player has gone to harm Real Madrid, at least he is no longer in Chelsea, which feels really great."
After hearing this, the reporters immediately handed the microphones to Wang Li, wanting to see what this black-haired boy had to say.
Wang Li looked helpless and said, "Look, what's so respectful about this Portuguese man? I just said hello to him and he yelled at me. He has no manners at all. He has been in England for two years but has not learned any gentlemanly manners. I feel really sad about this."
Many reporters in the audience nodded, and they also agreed with Wang Li's words. ?
Judging from the attitudes of the two men, the Portuguese man was always yelling, but the black-haired boy was always calm and steady. Judging from the expressions of the two men, Mourinho really has no manners at all. ?
Obviously, Mourinho did not agree with Wang Li's words. He immediately hit back: "I am your coach, at least last season. Your transfer to Real Madrid at such a high price and winning so many honors are inseparable from my training. You should thank me!"
The reporters immediately passed the microphone to Wang Li again. ?
Wang Li spread his hands and said, "I think with my ability, I can achieve good results wherever I go, and I don't think you have given me anything. My memories of Chelsea are very good, but you are the stain in my memories of Chelsea."
"Humph! You are just a parasite! My original decision was right. Real Madrid will definitely regret buying you because you will ruin the entire team!"?
"Thanks for the compliment."?
Facing Mourinho's almost direct personal attack, Wang Li remained calm: "But no one cares about these. I will lead the team to victory, this is the most important thing."
"You will win? What a joke!!"?
"Of course we will win? Do you think Chelsea will win? Mr. Mourinho, you are still so imaginative."
"You are still so arrogant!"?
"This is confidence! Mr. Mourinho, you are really arrogant. I think you should see a psychiatrist. If you have paranoia, go see a doctor directly."
"Hmph! Don't think you're great just because you scored a few goals. Football is a team sport. You will definitely fail."
"Then it will definitely not fail today!"?
"Just wait and see, today you will taste the bitter fruit of failure."?
"You should see a psychiatrist, sir. By the way, don't you think so? He actually shouted that he must win at the Bernabeu! My God, I think Mr. Rijkaard would not dare to do this because he would be afraid of being personally attacked."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I didn't, everyone saw it, you just have delusions, you just think so on your own."
......?
In a short while, the press conference became a one-on-one duel between Wang Li and Mourinho. The two's words were no longer limited to the game, and even turned into personal attacks.
However, all the reporters in the audience were excited. They had nothing to report before the game, but now, as long as they put the conversation between Mourinho and Wang Li in the report, it would definitely attract the attention of a large number of fans.
During Wang Li's competition with Mourinho, Carlo wanted to interject, but he couldn't find the chance for a long time. The interim head coach of Real Madrid became a complete outsider. He sat next to Wang Li like a little complaining woman, trying to attract the attention of reporters, but no one paid any attention to him.
Wang Li and Mourinho are the protagonists. ?
Even if it is just in Real Madrid, Carlo's influence is far from enough. Fans want to hear more about Wang Li, and the club's top management is also on Wang Li's side. In any case, the difference in their value is too big. Even Mourinho, who has the highest salary, only has an annual salary of 5 million euros, which is a huge gap with Wang Li's salary, and there is also some difference in influence. ?
What about Carlo? He hasn't made it in the coaching industry yet. ?
In Real Madrid, he was just a temporary worker, and his current power was not enough to suppress Wang Li. Of course, Carlo did not want to suppress him. In his mind, if he wanted to become famous and make a name for himself in the coaching industry, he needed Wang Li's support, which would at least save him a few years.
So, Carlo could only endure it. ?
............?
After the press conference, the Chelsea players in the visiting team's locker room saw Mourinho walk in with a gloomy face. The locker room, which was full of fun just now, suddenly became silent.
They didn't know what happened yet, but they knew that the head coach was in a bad mood, and no one dared to provoke his anger now. It would be absolutely unwise to do so. In Chelsea, Mourinho is almost like an emperor. He can decide the fate of any player in the team. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that Mourinho's status in Chelsea. ?
"You must win this game, especially don't let him score a goal!!"?
Walking into the locker room, Mourinho glanced back and forth at the players. After a long while, he finally yelled out this sentence, and his anger spread throughout the locker room along with this sentence.
However, Mourinho is still clear-headed. He knows that the most important thing now is to give the players confidence, rather than scolding them. After all, the anger in his heart has nothing to do with them.
"I hope to see the number '0' on the scoreboard in the end! We are Chelsea, the Blues. We were the champions of the European Cup last season. As the defending champions, we must not fall in the quarter-finals. The club's goal is to reach the semi-finals. As long as we reach the semi-finals, we will win!!"?
Mr. Abramovich has not set any championship goals this season. Chelsea was already the European champion last season. Although Abramovich is very ambitious, he is not a fool. He knows that winning the Champions League title consecutively requires not only strength, but also a lot of luck. Therefore, Chelsea's goal in this season's European competition is only to reach the semi-finals, but they must also overcome the huge obstacle of Real Madrid. ?
After Mourinho finished speaking, he began to remind the players in detail what they needed to do on the field. These things had been explained clearly before, and now Mourinho just thought of some things temporarily and reminded the players separately. ?
From this point, we can see that compared to Carlo, Mourinho's coaching level is indeed a level higher. At least in terms of tactical arrangements, he does everything in detail. The players just need to follow his arrangements and do their best. This will make the players feel relaxed because they know what they should do on the court.
However, while arranging these, Chelsea players were still speculating among themselves as to why Mourinho was so angry. ?
“Who could have offended the boss?”?
Everyone is guessing, but everyone already has the answer in their hearts. Apart from that black-haired kid, who else has the ability to make Mourinho so angry? ?
Real Madrid's rookie coach???
With Mourinho's strong mouth, it was already good enough not to make the rookie coach angry. ?
............?
In the home team's locker room, the atmosphere among Real Madrid players was very good. Wang Li walked into the locker room with a relaxed look on his face, while head coach Carlo next to him stared at Wang Li's face with confusion. ?
Carlo was very surprised. ?
It was amazing how the dark-haired kid looked as if nothing had happened, having just had a huge argument with Mourinho at a press conference. ?
In Carlo's opinion, Wang Li should have been very angry. ?
But Wang Li didn't take it to heart at all. He knew very well why he and Mourinho quarreled. It wasn't because of any language conflict. The two of them wouldn't quarrel because of a little language conflict.
When Wang Li left Chelsea, he did not have any communication with Mourinho. His departure was inexplicable, or it could be said that it was natural. This made him and Mourinho, the master and apprentice who had a tacit understanding last season, feel a little entangled. ?
So now that they met, they started arguing straight away. ?
After the quarrel, Wang Li felt happy. At least he vented the depression of leaving Chelsea for no reason. He felt that it was not bad to quarrel with others. Of course, maybe Mourinho didn't think so, but it had nothing to do with Wang Li.
In the locker room, Carlo reminded the players to get into the game state as soon as possible and to pay attention to the back line, etc., and then let the players rest and prepare to enter the game.
Compared to Mourinho, he is indeed a little worse. ?
............?
At the Bernabeu Stadium, under the expectation of nearly 85,000 fans, the two teams finally walked out of the player tunnel. ?
After standing in position and performing the symbolic ceremony of the start of the game, the captains of the two teams, John Terry and Pavon, went to flip a coin, and Chelsea won the right to kick off. ?
At this time, various TV stations also began to compete to comment on the game, and of course they started by introducing the starting lineups of the two teams. ?
"Let's take a look at Chelsea's lineup. The goalkeeper is Thomas Clarke, a player who became famous last season. In this season, his performance is even better. Before this game, he had set a record of seven consecutive clean sheets, which is amazing..."?
After focusing on Thomas, the commentator began to introduce other players: "Chelsea's defense line from left to right is William Gallas, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira. It can be seen that Del Horno, who joined Real Madrid from Athletic Bilbao this season, did not get a chance to start. This position is still held by the experienced Gallas. Perhaps Mourinho considered that Gallas was once Wang Li's teammate, and the familiarity between them can make the defense better..."?
"In the midfield, there is still the iron guard trio: Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard and Michael Essien. These three players have very strong defensive capabilities. Perhaps Real Madrid's attack will be a little hindered today."
"On the forward line, Arjen Robben and Damien Duff partnered up to lead the left and right midfielders. This combination is now a headache for many Premier League players. Their constant switching between the left and right lanes will make defense very difficult. Drogba still played as the center forward. After a season of training, he is now Chelsea's undoubted main player..."?
The commentator gave a very detailed introduction to Chelsea. ?
Chelsea's lineup is indeed stronger this season. Robben and Duff have grown up, and Essien's joining has also made Chelsea's defense more solid. Almost all of Chelsea's main players are in their prime. In every round of the Premier League's best team, half of Chelsea's players can be included in it, which shows Chelsea's strength. ?
However, the on-site commentator introduced Real Madrid in more detail. He introduced the players who played in each game. When reading Wang Li's name, he directly called out Wang Li's goal record in the first half of the season - 36 goals in the league. From the 17th round of the league to now, the data of three goals each time he played is indeed shocking.
"...He has improved again." Lampard couldn't help but sigh after hearing this data. ?
Last season, Wang Li scored two goals in a Premier League game, and now he scores three goals in a game. This growth is a big blow to ordinary strikers. ?
"Perhaps Real Madrid's style is more suitable for him."?
Robben next to him said that this was indeed correct, and the players next to him nodded. Wang Li's style is indeed more suitable for La Liga. Although his football has a strong English flavor, it is only because he has been playing in England. As long as he persists in La Liga for a year or two, his performance will definitely get better and better. ?
............?
"Beep..."?
With a long whistle from the Dutch referee, the game finally began. ?
Chelsea kicked off first. After several passes, Lampard got the ball. He slowly dribbled forward and seemed ready to organize a steady attack.
Wang Li, who was about to run forward, immediately ran over to grab the ball, and Lampard reacted and passed the ball to Robben on the wing. As teammates for a season, Lampard knew that Wang Li's ability to steal the ball was surprisingly strong, and he was not good at dribbling, so he didn't want to try to see if he could get past Wang Li, which was almost the same as giving the ball to Real Madrid. ?
Wang Li smiled at Lampard, turned around and ran over. As the top star of Real Madrid, the coach only gave him the task of attacking, and he stayed in the front court most of the time waiting for opportunities.
After getting the ball, Robben dribbled directly from the left. After a season of training, his level has improved a lot. With just this acceleration, he directly left David Beckham behind. Before meeting Carlos, he dribbled the ball and headed towards the penalty area.
Although coach Carlos had emphasized Robben's cutting inside before the game, Carlos was still slow to react to this sudden change, so he fell behind Robben by at least two body lengths.
Fortunately, when Robben dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Pavon and Ramos blocked his shooting space. Robben had no choice but to pass the ball to Lampard.
Five meters outside the penalty area, Lampard ran over and shot the ball with great force, and the ball flew towards the goal of Real Madrid! ! ?
Facing this shot, Casillas seemed a little anxious. He was blocked by the defenders just now, and Lampard's shot was so sudden that he didn't react at all.
So, in his anxiety, he jumped up but couldn't reach the ball. ?
With a "bang", the football hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line, which made the hearts of all the Real Madrid fans in the stadium return to their original positions, and also made Lampard cover his face with regret. ?
Chelsea were just a little bit away from scoring. ?
"Oh my god!! Frank Lampard kicked a precise long shot just after the start, but it hit the crossbar. He looked in good shape. It was a pity that it was only 18 seconds into the game."
This kick reminded the Real Madrid players that they were now facing one of the best teams in the world, which was no worse than Real Madrid. They had to cheer up to win. Otherwise, if they didn't play seriously, they would have no chance at all. ?
Casillas sent a goal kick and the ball flew directly to the front court. ?
When the ball landed, Wang Li was squeezed in between Makelele and Essien. In comparison, he was a little thin and seemed to have no chance at all. The two defenders squeezed him tightly in the middle.
However, when the ball was falling, Wang Li took two strange steps and suddenly squeezed in front of Makelele. Then, under the helpless eyes of Makelele and the surprised eyes of Essien, he easily stopped the ball with his chest, and then---?
180 degree turn and volley! ! ?
Extremely fast!! ?
There was only about 3 seconds between Casillas and Wang Li's shot. In such a short time, some players didn't even realize where the ball was, but Wang Li's first reaction after receiving the ball was to shoot.
The ball was about 36 meters away from the goal, 10 meters in front of the penalty area and slightly to the right, but Wang Li still chose to take a sudden long shot.
The football was powerful enough and flew towards the Chelsea goal like a whistle. ?
However, Thomas Clark, a good friend and former trainee, obviously knew Wang Li very well. After seeing the ball flying towards Wang Li, he immediately perked up. Although Wang Li's shot was very sudden, Thomas still reacted.
He rubbed his feet a few steps on the spot, then jumped up and almost threw the ball out of the field from the dead corner on the right side of the goal. ?
"pretty!!"?
Whether it was Wang Li's shot or Thomas' save, they were both very beautiful. I didn't know what the commentator was referring to. But all the fans knew that this would definitely be an exciting game. ?
Just one minute into the game, Wang Li and Lampard each scored an accurate long-range shot.
It is just like this when tit for tat meets wheat thorn. ?
