Chapter 492 The Sadness of the Coach

The game was over and Real Madrid players rushed to celebrate on the field.

Although this was only a home victory in the first round and the score of 3:1 was not very safe, at least this score gave them confidence and allowed Real Madrid to gain an advantage, so they had reason to celebrate.

And most importantly, this game was exciting.

A wonderful game not only attracts the attention of fans, but also makes the players want to win the final victory in the wonderful game. Now, they have become the winners and they have every reason to be excited about it.

While celebrating, Wang Li did not forget his friends in Chelsea.

He walked up to Thomas and greeted him, "Long time no see, Thomas. You're still the same as before, but you've become much more powerful."

""

Thomas reached out and patted Wang Li on the back, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's still because you guys scored three goals."

Wang Li waved his hand and said, "If it were you in the past, we would have to score at least five goals."

"Alan."

Hearing this, Thomas's expression became even more bitter. He shook his head helplessly and said, "To be honest, I didn't think much of it before, but now that I hear you talking, I really have the urge to beat you up."

"Then let's give it a try?" Wang Li laughed and joked.

"Then forget it."

After thinking about it, Thomas gave up this plan. He knew that this was definitely not a wise choice.

Most people may not be able to understand Wang Li's Kung Fu, but after practicing the Subduing Tiger Fist, he was deeply impressed. Now he can at least keep one or two big men away from him. It is conceivable how powerful Wang Li, who taught him the Subduing Tiger Fist, will be.

Thomas didn't understand either, but he knew that he was no match for them. Just look at those unlucky Liverpool players.

In front of the player tunnel, under the gaze of all the fans, Wang Li and Thomas hugged each other tightly. Even though they are in two different teams, their friendship has not changed.

"I don't know how Harrison is doing these days."

At this moment, Wang Li suddenly thought of his friends in Wolverhampton. They said they would join the England national team and compete in the World Cup together.

“Maybe this year we can realize our dream.”

Thomas smiled, said this and turned around and walked into the player tunnel. After all, he was a Chelsea player and had to return to London tonight, so he had no time to stay with Wang Li.

Looking at Thomas' back, Wang Li smiled and shook his head, then turned around and walked towards his teammates again.

Wang Li has a harmonious relationship with Chelsea players. Although they are opponents on the court, they are very good friends off the court.

However, it seems that his relationship with Chelsea head coach Mourinho is not very harmonious. The two can even be described as being like water and fire.

Carlo brought Wang Li to the post-match press conference again. Now in every game, the media is almost only concerned about Wang Li. Not bringing Wang Li will make many media supporting Real Madrid dissatisfied, which is not worth the loss.

At least the unknown Carlo does not have the courage to offend the media.

Although Wang Li was reluctant, he still followed the coach into the venue. At least Carlo's attitude towards him was very good, so he shouldn't refuse for this.

After the two head coaches spoke some official language respectively, the scene completely turned into 'Allen time', or it should be said to be 'Allen and Mourinho time'. Yes, just like before the game, the two started arguing on the scene again.

This is how it all began.

"Excuse me, Alan, can you comment on Chelsea's defense? Have they improved compared to last season?" This is a reporter from The Sun, and his question is obviously directed at Essien.

As the player who was marked by Essien, Wang Lilai was the most suitable person to evaluate Essien.

"I admire his perseverance, and it bothers me."

Wang Li chuckled and said, "I won't comment on the technology because it has little influence on me."

Wang Li said this from the bottom of his heart, but Mourinho was not happy to hear it, so the Portuguese whispered: "You still like to be in the limelight."

It was just a whisper, and no reporter heard it in the noisy conference hall. However, Wang Li had sharp ears and eyes, and heard it clearly.

"Does Mr Mourinho have any doubts about what I said? It is not gentlemanly to speak ill of someone behind their back."

Mourinho was stunned, and said word by word as if to refute: "I said you still like to be in the limelight!!!"

So the two started arguing again.

Mourinho said: "Essien defended very well, you were blocked and your performance was much worse than usual."

Wang Li responded: "He didn't get the ball in the second half. Is that what you call defense?"

Mourinho had no idea what to say and said: "As a striker, you only have a few shots."

Wang Li replied: "But I scored a goal and also contributed an assist."

Mourinho said: "There is no need to bring this up. Pride is not a quality that a good player should have."

Wang Li frowned and said, "But we are indeed the winners."

"There's still a second round, we'll win and eliminate you!"

Wang Li waved his hand and said indifferently: "Maybe it would be more appropriate to talk about this after the second round. That way it will be more convincing."

Mourinho was speechless.

He realized that after losing the game, at least he couldn't gain any verbal advantage over the black-haired boy.

So, the Portuguese man decisively gave everyone a back-handed slap and walked out of the press conference.

The result of the game was as expected by the media, Real Madrid won the final victory.

However, the course of the game was far beyond the media's expectations. This match was undoubtedly the most exciting one in the European quarter-finals. Chelsea showed tenacious defensive ability, while Real Madrid showed terrifying offensive ability.

The score of 3:1 doesn't mean much, but fans who watched the game know that its excitement is far more than the score can show.

After the game, almost all media gave very good comments on Wang Li the next day. As professional football commentators, they saw not only Wang Li's data, but more importantly, the abilities Wang Li demonstrated in the game and his role in the team.

"One pass and one goal, Allen Wang still performs strongly against his old club!!"

"Amazing goal!! Alan Wang played with Chelsea's entire backfield by himself!"

"Robinho scored twice, Allen made an assist and scored a goal. The combination of the two young players led the Real Madrid forward line to shine at the Bernabeu!!"

The next day, almost all the Spanish media were reporting on Real Madrid's game, and they only briefly mentioned Villarreal's 2:1 loss to Inter Milan away from home, because the gap was extremely large compared to Real Madrid's game.

Of course, what we are referring to here is the excitement, not the score.

In fact, Villarreal's performance was also good. They scored an away goal, while Inter Milan only scored two goals. In this way, as long as they play 1:0 at home in the second round, the team will enter the European semi-finals.

This form is very good.

However, fans are still paying attention to the reports on Real Madrid. After all, Real Madrid is a wealthy team, and Wang Li and Robinho's performances are indeed strong.

Apart from the media's overwhelming praise for Wang Li, Robinho also received very good reviews.

In this game, Robinho scored two goals, which was a very eye-catching performance, especially his first goal, which was a follow-up shot. His movement and awareness fully proved his value.

"Marca" commented on Robinho: "He has shown his ability. In the next 10 years, he is likely to be the main force of Real Madrid's front line. Such performance is enough for him to sit in this position. The team of the "translator coach" has always been known for its defense, and their goalkeeper is even stronger, but this Brazilian kid still withstood the pressure - two goals, a perfect performance!"

At the end of the article, Marca mentioned: "Real Madrid's forward line belongs to young people, and the future also belongs to young people. We are very happy to see that Allen and Robinho have greatly increased Real Madrid's offensive ability. Maybe Florentino is a black-hearted businessman, but he let these two outstanding players come to Real Madrid, which is enough."

Of course, we must not forget the third best player in the game - Chelsea goalkeeper Thomas Clarke.

If it weren't for Wang Li, Thomas Clarke might have been elected the best player of the game. In the hearts of the fans, his performance was better than Robinho, and this "third" was just the evaluation of the Spanish media.

In the evaluation of the English media, Thomas' performance in this game was on par with Wang Li. This may be related to the fact that Wang Li is an English player. If this relationship is put aside, they may very likely claim that "the best player should belong to Clark."

Regardless, Thomas did perform very well.

In the game, he saved more than one sure-shot goal, which limited Real Madrid to three goals in the end. He is undoubtedly Chelsea's most important contributor. Even captain Terry, who used his body to block the ball, must have admitted defeat.

It is worth mentioning that England coach McClaren announced to reporters the next day: "Thomas will be one of the players I need and he will be there at the World Cup."

This news was expected by the English media, but they were still surprised to hear the exact news.

They had nothing but praise for Thomas.

Perhaps, what McLaren hopes to hear is "he has a good eye for talent", but in fact, the media does not care about this. If a player performs well, he will naturally enter the national team. This has little to do with the head coach's "good eye".

If McClaren does not call up Thomas, he will definitely be criticized and the FA will be dissatisfied with him.

In short, he will not receive any praise, which may be the sadness of the coach.
