Chapter 159: A Battlefield Without Gunpowder!
According to the organizer's arrangement, after Rijkaard's appearance, Tang Jue should have appeared, however, Tang Jue had not yet appeared at this time. The organisers had to put Puyol on early.
When Puyol came on the field, the reporters in the audience were quite surprised. They were speculating about the reason why Don never appeared on time, and the Spanish reporters were surprised and filled with joy. Italian media reporters began to worry about Tang Jue, and they were thinking of ways to deal with it.
Puyol looked at the reporters with different expressions on the field, and after thinking about it, he knew why. He said into the microphone, "Actually, I didn't say much tonight. After all, we didn't make it to the final. β
His words suddenly changed, "But since I'm here, I'll say a few words." β
'We played well tonight, that's what you saw. We were in control for most of the game and Samuel Eto'o scored two goals. By the time he scored his second goal, we were already on the threshold of the final. β
"Barcelona are a great team, Milan are tenacious and they are a great team as well. The two teams had to decide the winner, with only one team making it to the final. It's pretty brutal and we have to accept it. β
"Tonight, we did our best. This season's Champions League is over. We're going to focus on La Liga and we're going to win the La Liga title. β
Puyol's speech was brief, and the journalists had a lot to ask him.
The reporter of the team newspaper asked: "There were media reports before the game that Barcelona had infighting, and Barcelona has not responded positively to this matter. Did this happen? Also, what do you think about Don saying 'coward'? β
The team reporter is not stupid, Rijkaard had already denied the rumor a few minutes ago. He asked the question again. It is mainly to pave the way for the latter question.
Puyol frowned slightly, bit his lip lightly, and said as if he had made up his mind: "We have no infighting, this is a rumor." I don't know why Tang Weilu would say such a thing at that time, but what I want to tell you is that Barcelona has no cowards, not before, and never in the future! Barcelona are a group of warriors! β
A reporter from Italy's Rome Sport newspaper asked: "The goal that Don scored, changed direction twice in a row, broke through you." Then the shot is successful. What do you think of Don? β
Puyol let out a long breath. Frowning and saying, "I admit, I couldn't keep up with his rhythm at that moment, I was broken by him, and I won't be ashamed of it." It's not because I'm a shameless person. It's because at that moment. I think this world is in the world. No one could defend him. β
"I did my best, so I won't be ashamed."
"What are you going to say about him? Two goals and one assist in two games. Statistically speaking. He doesn't have a big lead, but his role is huge. He's a talented player who achieved that at the age of eighteen. But what impressed me more was not his genius, but his spirit of not giving up. β
It was he who led Milan to complete an incredible game in the last five minutes. I think both I and you should admit this. β
Puyol was right, he spoke his heart.
The reporter from Roma Sport asked: "Does Barca's failure to reach the final have anything to do with Ronaldinho's lack of start?" β
Puyol shook his head inwardly, what should have come has come. He said with a serious expression: "Ronaldinho didn't start because of injury. I don't think Ronaldinho didn't start because it was the fate of Barcelona being eliminated. β
Puyol is supporting Rijkaard. In the following time, he answered the reporters' questions one by one, and completed his task very well.
At this time, Tang Jue was late, and the host of the meeting breathed a sigh of relief, and he did not blame Tang Jue. He knows that all players have tempers, and if he doesn't know this, he will lose his temper with him.
Wearing a Milanese sports jacket and Adidas sneakers. The hair was still damp and still glistening in the light. Tang Jue appeared at the press conference like this, and he hugged Puyol who came out.
Puyol said easily in his ear: "Congratulations! β
Tang Jue responded: "You are a player I admire and respect very much!" β
Puyol glanced at Tang Jue in surprise, then gently patted him on the shoulder and left the venue.
β¦β¦
The appearance of Tang Jue made the atmosphere of the venue warm. On the one hand, Tang Jue was the protagonist of the two pinnacle battles, and they were eager to know what Lu Dao had to say. On the other hand, it's because this person often speaks amazingly, and maybe tonight he will say something shocking.
Tang Jue smiled and nodded to the reporters he knew in the audience, and said into the microphone: "Milan has become the ultimate winner, which is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team." We both played a great game for the fans and I'm so proud of that! β
'Barcelona played very well and didn't give us too many chances. They are a great team indeed, there's no doubt about that. Milan can eliminate Barcelona and enter the final, which can only mean one thing, Milan is stronger than Barcelona! β
The purpose of praising Barcelona is to set off the strength of Milan, and this is what Don must do.
'BarΓ§a defended well tonight, as soon as I got the ball, they had three or four players come up and besiege them. They didn't give me space to speed up, so I got caught in their siege. I was thinking a lot about how to break through their fence and at the end of the game, I found a way. It's about catching the ball on the run and letting your speed shine. β
"I'm very glad I found a solution in the last moments of the race. This game is very valuable for me, it's not so much that Barcelona found a way to deal with me, but that I found a way to deal with Barca! β
As sharp as ever, Tang Jue is very strong in front of the media. With his own goal, he refuted Barca's successful defense against his rhetoric.
When the reporters wanted to hear what he said again, Tang Jue said unexpectedly: "Okay, that's all I have to say." I'll leave the rest of the time to you. β
It's not that he doesn't want to say more, it's when he enters the bathroom. Seedorf told him that he would be fined a drink if he was five minutes late. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
The reporter of the team newspaper first asked: "Don, first of all, congratulations on leading Milan to the final." The second is to congratulate you on setting a new Champions League goal record in a single season. β
Tang Jue nodded and interrupted him, and said sincerely, "Thank you!" β
The team reporter looked at the sincerity on Tang Jue's face and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, I should say thank you." On behalf of the fans who like you, I would like to say to you, 'Thank you, thank you!' Not only did you give us a wonderful and important goal, but you also moved us. β
Tang Jue did not interrupt the reporter of the team newspaper this time, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face.
"My question is, are you ready for your second trophy of the season? You used to say in a blog. You're going to win three championships this year. β
Tang Jue smiled and said, "I don't want to lie to everyone. I haven't thought about the Champions League final yet. I think the first thing I want to think about is lifting the Serie A trophy at home. β
"We have to take the trophies one by one, my teammates and I have a lot of hands, and we can win as many trophies as we can."
Tang Jue's words made the reporters in the audience laugh.
The reporter from the Milan sports newspaper asked: "After Milan were 3-0 down, you changed your style of play. Not seeking to pass the ball to teammates. It's a breakthrough for yourself. Doing so would be very risky. If Milan are eliminated by Barcelona at the end of the game, you will inevitably be rebuked by the media. β
"Why are you doing this? Or what motivates you to do it? β
Tang Jue's face became serious, and he said, "I am in pursuit of victory in the arena. I don't want to be eliminated by Barcelona and Milan doesn't want to be eliminated by Barcelona. I thought that a breakthrough shot was the best way to solve the problem, so I just did it. My team-mates trust me and give me the ball all the time. β
"I wasn't afraid of risk, and I didn't even think about the media criticizing me like that if I failed. Of course, I don't have time to think about it, the game requires concentration. Even if Milan is unfortunately eliminated by Barcelona tonight, I will accept whatever you want to blame me. β
"As a striker, you have to find a way to save your team when the team is in crisis. Even if people in the whole world think that I am playing unreasonably, I will still do what I think! β
Tang Jue's answer made many reporters in the audience applaud. But the Spanish journalists did not applaud, they were brewing to stump this arrogant guy in this way.
The reporter of the Marca newspaper began to attack Don Jue, he asked: "As is customary, you should appear at the press conference before Puyol." What makes you late? You know, it's rude for us to be late! β
The reporter of the Marca newspaper said what he had planned for a long time, how could they make Tang Jue easy. On the pitch, they have to gain the upper hand in the media, and this is a battlefield where there is no gunpowder.
The hearts of Italian journalists immediately tightened, and they were ready to fight back. Tang Jue frowned and thought for a while and said, "Being late is an impolite act, I admit it. But I don't think I'm doing anything wrong! β
"There's no way I'm going to show up at a press conference without taking a shower. It's disrespectful to you, that's rudeness. In preparation for your meeting, I carefully wash the dust off my body, comb my hair, think about what to say to you, and prepare how to answer your questions. β
"It takes time, so I'm late."
He looked at the reporter of the Marca newspaper and asked, "Are you satisfied?" β
The Italian reporters breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't expect Tang Jue to find this reason to answer. At least they couldn't think of it, whether it was true or not, it won the hearts of journalists.
For the sake of respect, so late!
The Marca newspaper reporter thought to himself: What kind of bullshit is this!
But he knew that Tang Jue had already won this round, and unwilling to lose, he said: "You said before the game that Ronaldinho was a 'coward', why do you want to say that? β
Tang Jue smiled and said, "This is the truth! I'm just stating a fact! He didn't even make the starting lineup, this is not the act of a 'coward', and what is it? β
The venue turned into a battlefield, and the atmosphere in the venue became lively. The Spanish media hope to defeat this damn guy in this battlefield without gunpowder. The Italian media are extremely excited, they have long seen Tang Jue's sharpness in front of the media, and they are happy to see how Tang Jue sharply stabbed the Spanish media into a thousand holes!
Those neutral media, very happy, news, news, of course, have to be new to see and hear, in order to be called news. The more they make a fuss, the more they can attract the attention of fans!
Another Spanish journalist said: "Rijkaard and Puyol have already said that Ronaldinho did not play because of injury. There is no basis for what you say! β
Tang Jue sneered: "At the end of the game, he came on the field, which of your eyes saw that he was injured?" β
"Okay, let's just think he's hurt, so why would he get hurt? It's not because of psychological problems under strong pressure that it leads to injury. Getting hurt under pressure, that's what a coward does. β
Tang Jue looked at the reporters in the audience and said, "You are all professionals, you should understand!" β
The Spanish journalist was very angry, especially Tang Jue's sentence "Which eye did you see that he had a wound?" βγ This sentence is full of provocation. Italian reporters were secretly enjoying themselves, and the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned, as if to say: If you want to fight with this person, you must be the one who dies at the end!
The Spanish journalist shouted: "You must apologize to me!" β
Tang Jue looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at an idiot. Tang Jue blinked and asked, "Why do I want to apologize to you?" Did I hurt you? Or is it something else? β
The Spanish reporter was short of breath for a while, and he said righteously: "You hurt Barcelona, you hurt Ronaldinho, you must apologize to Barcelona, apologize to Ronaldinho!" (To be continued......)
