Chapter 505 Memories and Expectations (Third update, please give me a monthly ticket)

Two days before the game, Carlo asked the players who participated in the Spanish derby to continue to recover their physical fitness, and the focus of the training was to let the team conduct an intra-team confrontation match, which was mainly to allow Real Madrid players to re-adapt to the confrontation with the Premier League team.

During training, Wang Li's condition remained stable. His continuous goals helped the team he led win the competition, which made Carlo, who was feeling depressed, feel much better.

Now the core of Real Madrid is undoubtedly Wang Li. After the Spanish derby, Wang Li has conquered all the fans and teammates with his performance. His importance in the team is unquestionable.

As long as Wang Li is in good shape, Carlo will be confident of winning the game.

In Carlo's heart, this black-haired boy is perfect - he is serious in training, tries his best in competitions, strives hard for victory, and has the world's top skills and strength.

Perhaps, what he is not satisfied with is that Wang Li is not very low-key off the court. It can be said that he is a man of few words but will make a big splash when he does: he seldom accepts interviews from reporters, but every interview can trigger strong controversy in the Spanish media.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the overall situation of the team.

Carlo could only turn a blind eye to Wang Li's "small" shortcoming. But in fact, his status in the team was lower than Wang Li's. Although he was the head coach, his say was definitely less than Wang Li's.

A day later, the transfer plane carrying the Real Madrid superstars arrived at London International Airport, where they were greeted by all kinds of flashing lights. When the plane landed at the airport, there were already many reporters from all over the world who had been waiting there for a long time.

They all want to get first-hand news.

Perhaps, this game would not have received so much attention before, because other competitions in the Champions League can also attract the attention of many media and fans. However, since Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 8:0 a few days ago, many fans think that Real Madrid is the strongest team, so they will of course turn their attention over.

"European football will usher in a new Real Madrid era." This is the view of many fans.

So, this game has attracted more attention.

This is the second time Real Madrid has come to London this season. Last month, they just defeated Arsenal here, and now they will play against Chelsea again. The Spanish media certainly hopes that Real Madrid can win again. If they can defeat two top Premier League teams in a row, doesn’t this prove that La Liga is stronger than the Premier League?

In the current Premier League, the representative teams are Chelsea and Arsenal. As for Manchester United? That team was eliminated and is now only ranked third in the Premier League. It has almost been forgotten by the world media.

The Spanish media were also excited by the consecutive wins over the first and second-placed English Premier League teams. They came forward to interview Real Madrid players and asked about their current status, the team's status, etc.

It looks like they are just like a nanny.

But the Real Madrid players were not in the mood to be interviewed, even Wang Li was the same. A big battle was going to take place tomorrow, and before the battle, all they needed to do was to conserve their energy.

Therefore, the team did not stop at the airport, but took a bus directly to the hotel where they were staying.

The next day, Stamford Bridge was surrounded by fans, there were many patrol police on the surrounding roads, security forces were also strengthened, and the atmosphere of the competition became increasingly tense.

At noon, Real Madrid's bus had already entered Stamford Bridge.

This was Wang Li's first time back to Stamford Bridge after leaving Chelsea. After entering the stadium, he did not immediately follow his teammates to participate in the training to adapt to the field, but instead walked around the stadium alone.

He has many memories here.

Although it has become a thing of the past, Wang Li still has a sense of familiarity with this place. The surrounding player tunnels, the pictures of superstars, and the familiar layout of the stadium all remind him of many things.

Outside the player tunnel, Wang Li found his own photo.

In fact, when he left Chelsea, the club hung his picture here.

The players whose photos are here are all stars who have made great contributions to Chelsea Club. Obviously, Wang Li helped Chelsea win four championships last season, which is a much greater contribution than most players. He is qualified to hang his photos here for Chelsea fans to recall.

Looking at his own photos, Wang Li felt a little satisfied. These were his achievements.

After staying here for a while, Wang Li walked around Stamford Bridge again and prepared to go to the stadium to participate in the pre-match training. In fact, this training has no effect on him at all. Not to mention his condition problem, he is very familiar with Stamford Bridge. He doesn't need to adapt to the venue at all.

However, after turning a corner, Wang Li encountered something unpleasant - Chelsea head coach Mourinho appeared in front of him. At this time, Mourinho was walking towards him. The two men met face to face and both stopped involuntarily.

After they stood still, neither of them said anything. They just stared at each other, as if they were competing to see whose eyes were more lethal. After a while, Wang Li was defeated. He felt that this was a waste of time.

Wang Li nodded towards Mourinho and said hello: "...Boss!" "You are not a Chelsea player now." Mourinho replied with a twisted face.

Hearing this, Wang Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Well, sir, is this okay?"

Mourinho nodded, walked towards Wang Li, and asked, "Why didn't you go to training?"

“I want to go around the court.”

Mourinho's face darkened, and he said, "Participating in training with the team is a professional player's professional ethics and an obligation that must be fulfilled. You are getting paid, but you don't participate in training!?"

"You're still as lazy as ever, just like that."

Wang Li frowned and said, "...but this is none of your business."

"Humph! I'm just stating the facts."

"I think you should think more about how to win the game, not this. You know, you are going to lose today, Chelsea will be eliminated, and Real Madrid will enter the semi-finals..."

After hearing this, Mourinho's face turned so dark that water almost dripped out of it. He walked past Wang Li, turned back and said, "This is impossible, you are dreaming!!"

Wang Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Let's meet on the court. I will make you realize the truth."

After saying that, he ignored Mourinho and walked forward.

Mourinho behind him did not get angry directly. Looking at Wang Li's back, he showed a look of reminiscence. When Wang Li had turned another corner, he whispered to himself: "...still so rude."

After this little episode with Mourinho, Wang Li went to the court to train with his teammates.

At this time, the fans also began to enter the stadium. The Blues fans who had just entered all looked at Wang Li. At the beginning, these fans just stared at Wang Li. Each of them was recalling the scene last season when this black-haired boy led the team to defeat one opponent after another.

But now things have changed. This black-haired boy already belongs to Real Madrid and has become a rival of Chelsea.

However, this cannot hide Wang Li's position among Chelsea fans. After all, he is the biggest contributor to Chelsea's quadruple title last season. When the fans found their seats, scattered shouts gradually appeared in the stadium: "Alan! Alan!"

At the beginning, few people responded, but after a while, more fans gathered in the stands and the voices became much louder. Even though they have become rivals now, they will never forget the laughter and honor that Wang Li brought to Chelsea.

"Alan, you are so welcome."

Seeing this scene, Ronaldo, who was in poor form but was still included in the roster by Carlo, could be heard to have a hint of bitterness and jealousy in his words.

In Ronaldo's career, he joined Barcelona from Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie. A year later, he moved to Inter Milan, where he was successful. In 2002, he came to Real Madrid.

Actually, his career has little to do with Barcelona, ​​but in every Spanish derby, Barcelona fans will still spit on him as a traitor, not to mention former Barcelona captain Luis Figo.

And now, Wang Li has come to Stamford Bridge. Perhaps his situation is worse than the other two, but these fans cheered him. Wang Li's reputation is undoubtedly reflected here. Although he has transferred, he is still unanimously loved by the Blues fans.

Now even the Chelsea players on the opposite field did not receive more cheers than him.

If the situation continues like this, this might become Wang Li's home game, but that is obviously unlikely. Now the game has not started yet, and it is normal for the fans to cheer. If the game starts, the Blues fans will definitely support Chelsea.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li also felt a little sad in his heart. To be honest, the biggest regret for him in leaving Chelsea was these lovely Blues fans. Now that he has left, the fans still support him very much.

"Then I will repay the Blues fans with my performance." Wang Li waved to the fans and thought so.

If the Blues fans knew what Wang Li was thinking at this moment, I'm afraid the cheers would stop immediately! ! Their cheers were for Wang Li's performance last season, but had nothing to do with this game.

Before the game, Real Madrid was very low-key, and Mourinho was equally low-key. This may be bad news for the media coming to Stamford Bridge, because it is difficult for them to get any big news.

However, with the previous experience, the media reporters were looking forward to the pre-match press conference. Unfortunately, as soon as the press conference started, when Carlo walked into the hall alone, the media were completely disappointed. They couldn't help but look at each other and unanimously saluted Carlo, but the meaning of their eyes was not very friendly.

Seeing this situation, Carlo was stunned. He even thought that there was something wrong with his attire. However, when he saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the media, he understood everything.

Before, Carlo wanted Wang Li to attend the press conference with him, but Wang Li was in no mood to argue with the media. He was meditating in the locker room to adjust his physical condition. He wanted to perform hard to "repay" the Blues fans in this stadium full of memories.

So, he refused. Fortunately, Mourinho helped him solve the problem because he brought the person the media wanted to interview---Michael Owen! !

The month before last, Owen was injured by the opponent's defender in a league game. He was still recovering at the end of March, so he did not participate in the last match between Chelsea and Real Madrid. Now he appears behind Mourinho. The meaning is simple.

In this season's league, Owen's position in Chelsea is also unstable, and his biggest competitor is Didier Drogba.

In the first half of the season, Owen's performance was quite good. In the 17 league games he participated in, he scored 9 goals and had 7 assists. This data is also the reason why Mourinho trusts Owen.

Compared to La Liga, Owen is indeed more adapted to the Premier League.

"Michael is very strong and has performed well in training over the past few days. He deserves to be in the starting lineup for this game," Mourinho explained in an interview with reporters.

After that, the press conference became 'Owen time'. There was too little that the reporters wanted to know about the two head coaches. Most importantly, before the game, the low-key Carlo and Mourinho would definitely speak some official language, which they were not interested in.

"...The game is simple, we can only work hard to win, there is no other way to choose. I am ready, I hope I can score a goal today, I will try my best!"

These are Michael Owen's opening words. When asked by reporters about his opinion of Wang Li, Owen smiled and said, "...Privately, he is my good friend and we often talk on the phone. But now we are opponents. I hope to perform well on the court and help the team win. That's it. As for Alan!? He is very strong. He scored five goals in the Spanish derby a few days ago. I admire him very much and I am looking forward to playing with him."

In fact, Owen knew Wang Li's strength very well. He knew that he was no match for him and that Chelsea had little chance in this game.

First of all, the team lost 3:1 away from home, and was two goals behind Real Madrid. Real Madrid had just won a big victory over Barcelona, ​​and the team's morale was high. Although half of their main players were absent, it was still not easy to beat such a Real Madrid. However, he was really looking forward to the game with Wang Li. He had not played against Wang Li since the European Cup two years ago.

Of course, for the game, Owen definitely hopes that Chelsea will win. Although he admits in his heart that he is no match for Wang Li, football is a sport for eleven people. Although the chance is small, he feels that Chelsea still has a chance of winning.

For this hope, he must also work hard to score goals and increase the team's chances of victory.
