Chapter 240: A Shocking Gamble! Is it kneeling or peeing?!
On March 29, 2005, the entire world of football set its sights on Barcelona's home stadium, the Camp Nou, one of the mecca of football. The reason for this is none other than Chelsea and Barcelona, two of the hottest teams in football today, have met again in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and this game is the first leg between the two teams.
As two of the most powerful teams in football today, and each of them has one of the best players in the world at the moment, these two teams will inevitably be compared by the whole of Europe and the whole of world football from the moment they reach the top. Even if they themselves do not have this will, they inevitably go to their respective opposites, driven by the media, forming a relatively hostile relationship.
The rivalry reached its climax after Chelsea eliminated Barcelona last season and eventually lifted the trophy, and Ray defeated Ronaldinho to defend the double Footballer of the Year award. Now, this is no longer just a matter of rhetoric in the media, and the club hierarchy, fans, managers and even players on both sides seem to recognise this rival rivalry. There are no two days in the sky, and the fact that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers is applicable in any era and any place.
Under such circumstances, it can be said that football lovers all over the world are starting to look forward to today's scene after both teams have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. At the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals, UEFA, which is already famous in world football, did not disappoint everyone, and lived up to expectations by drawing Chelsea and Barcelona together. As soon as this result came out, it immediately shook the entire world football world. It can be said that this group of opponents has undoubtedly become the most watched matchup in the top 8 matchups, and there is no one.
And when it comes to actually paying attention to Cheng dΓΉ. Even this season's future Champions League final may not be able to match these two legs. Because in the hearts of football lovers all over the world, this is the final that will be staged in advance. It's just when the outside world has a collective orgasm. Both teams are naturally dissatisfied. The fact that you meet the biggest competitor to win the championship in advance will not be liked by anyone.
However, it has now become a fact. Then they will not really pour bitter water, but will proudly say that they will definitely defeat their opponents and live up to the expectations of fans. Even if it will be more than half a month before the actual start of the competition, this does not prevent the media from hyping up the heat of this matchup first.
Even Mourinho and Lao Lei, who were originally rude reporters, were forced to participate in this long-awaited public opinion war under the constant questioning of Chelsea fans. The reason is simple, because Samuel Eto'o and others on the Barcelona side took the lead.
In an interview, he said presumptuously: "It will be us who will win." We have the best coach, the last players and the best tactical system, and I can't find any reason why we should fail! Defeat last season? Indeed, it was a very difficult time indeed. But we're stronger now, not the same as then. I still remember what those two Portuguese did at Camp Nou and I can't forgive them. This time, we're going to turn Stamford Bridge into a sea of weeping. β
Samuel Eto'o's words sparked immediate anger among Chelsea fans, who protested online and desperately wanted their players and coaches to come back and fight back. In this case. Even Lao Lei and Mourinho could not go against the wishes of the fans, and had to be interviewed by the media under the arrangement of the club.
One of the two apprentices is a translator who was active at Camp Nou at the beginning, and the other is a fanatic who caused a big havoc at Camp Nou last season. The media will naturally not let them go lightly at such a time, and the BBC beautiful reporter who took on this interview task even relied on her advantages as a woman to constantly throw all kinds of sharp and difficult questions to the two. In the midst of this. If it is the most difficult question for Old Ray to answer, it should be this question, "Thunder Ma." Would you apologise for the qiΔ you did at Camp Nou last season? β
After hearing this question, Lao Lei looked at the beautiful reporter with a smug and expectant face. My heart was full of disgust and disgust, and sure enough, reporters were the most annoying of men and women. However, although he was full of slander in his heart, he still honestly returned to this issue. It's not because the other party is a woman, and it's a beautiful woman, but because Barcelona provoked him first.
After Eto'o's words, he seemed to be the focus of Barcelona's firepower, and his ferocity even surpassed that of Jose Mourinho, a former Barcelona. "Impolite", "no work ethic", "no su zhì and upbringing", "not worthy of football at all" and other descriptions and descriptions have been placed on him by Barcelona's current players or retired celebrities. For a while, Lao Lei's celebration method once again became the focus of attention and discussion from the outside world.
And after all, there are still many sanctimonious people in this world, in view of the fact that it is not illegal or taxable to criticize a few words casually anyway. After they started with Barcelona, they immediately continued to fire, even more fiercely. Although I don't know how much cleaner the off-field life is than other players, Lao Lei at this time was still criticized on a large scale because of some actions on the field.
As soon as there is a lot of criticism, it will naturally be more difficult to hear, and even involve family members. If other old thunders can still understand, then he absolutely can't bear this. No one can knock down all the people in the world who have said bad things about themselves, and they can't even fight back one by one, especially for a public figure like Lao Lei. Regarding this, Lao Lei is just an ordinary player, and he is not so powerful to change this. But at least selective knockouts are the way Old Ray chooses to deal with them.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize. I don't know what I did at Camp Nou last season to let those people criticize me like that. But I know it at least with absolute certainty, and my memories of last season at Camp Nou are perfect. In the end, the team won the eventually, I had a beautiful goal and a great way to celebrate. For me, it was quite a good memory. It's wonderful.
As for those who have done a lot of criticism to me, I just want to say. On the football field, I have a clear conscience about everything I do. And there, I don't need to have any respect for people I don't like, and no one is qualified to judge me about that. Of course, if they really want my respect, or even my apology, it's simple, then use football to speak.
Now that we've said that. I can also give them a great opportunity for free. As long as they can beat us at the 'great' Camp Nou, I'll get down on my knees and apologize after the game, and I will never break it. However, if we still win, I will celebrate by urinating on the turf at the Camp Nou after the race. You can help me convey this to see if they have the courage to take the bet. β
As Lao Lei talked eloquently, the beautiful reporter's eyes became brighter and brighter. Until Lao Lei said the last sentence. Her eyes were almost like two big light bulbs. The beautiful reporter who was appointed by the BBC to conduct this interview is not a rookie who has never seen the world, and she has long been experienced in interviews. But Rao is like this, she was still stunned by Lao Lei's shocking speech, and it was the first time she met a public figure who dared to say anything in front of the media.
looked at the old Lei's untamed confident eyes. For the first time, she felt the difference in the player in front of her, who was considered the number one player in football. In fact, it was not only him, even Mourinho, who was sitting next to Lao Lei, couldn't help but be shocked. Although he knew that Lao Lei was not in a good mood these days because of Barcelona, he never expected that it would be bad for him.
As Lao Lei's mentor. He knew very well that his proud disciple had always been a man of action, if he hadn't really been angry. I will never use my mouth to say such cruel words in front of the media. It's just that when he thinks of those public opinions during this time, he understands again. He knew that his family was a scale that Lao Lei would never touch. On this note, just think about the tragic situation of Liverpool every time they run into Ray and Chelsea these days.
After Lao Lei's shocking speech, Mourinho, who should have been one of the protagonists, completely became a passerby playing soy sauce, and he couldn't get into the eyes of beautiful reporters at all. At this time, Lao Lei has become a small gold mountain in her eyes, with various mansions, famous brands and luxury cars.
Stimulated by these, she fired full firepower on Lao Lei, and kept him bombarding, wanting to squeeze out more fierce material. But it's a pity, even if she keeps throwing her breasts, showing her thighs, throwing her eyes, and exhausting all kinds of beauty tricks, after Lao Lei finished saying that, she didn't have the ** to speak, or it should be said that she didn't have the consciousness of becoming someone else's meal ticket, even if this person was a big beauty.
After making it clear that she really couldn't ask anything anymore, the beautiful reporter turned her fire resentfully, wanting to dig something more from Mourinho. But this time, she was disappointed again. Without waiting for him to speak, Mourinho looked at the watch on his left wrist, then turned around and walked away with Lao Lei without looking at her. "It's time for the scheduled interview, and we're going back." After playing the role of a passerby, Mourinho said the last sentence of the interview with a sad heart.
Looking at the backs of the two masters and apprentices leaving in a dashing manner, the beautiful reporter and the rest of the interview staff were completely messy.
Well, although the interview ended not very pleasantly, the revelations from Lao Lei alone were enough for BBC TV to climax. In order to achieve the best effect, they also deliberately put the video of this interview on prime time for broadcast, and the results were explosive.
As soon as this interview was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire world football world. Television stations and networks around the world began to replay the video of the interview, which spread faster than a supersonic aircraft.
In such a situation, the next day, the front page headlines of the major newspapers were the same news, and the content was similar.
"Amazing Gamble!! Is it kneeling or peeing?!! Do Barcelona dare to bet?!!! β
"The gamble of the century! Surprise your eyeballs!! β
"Is it hubris, or is it overconfidence?!"
"This is Godzilla in football!! This is Reima!!! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
For a while, there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the football world. (To be continued......)
