Chapter 247: Old Thunder Who Was Recruited
"I wonder if Barcelona fans are reminded of the sad scene of last season, when they once again faced the extreme disadvantage of losing at home. If they go to Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 scoreline, not many will be optimistic about a trip to London. If they want to change that situation, they have 10 minutes to see if the Barcelona superstars can change the situation. After Arjen Robben scored Chelsea's second goal, a neutral commentator analysed.
It's an objective analysis, and given Chelsea's usual horror at home, there really aren't many people who are optimistic that Barcelona can turn the tables there. Rijkaard himself was well aware of this, and he immediately began to deploy his troops at this time, with Swedish veteran Larsson being replaced and Gyuli coming on after returning from injury. Unfortunately, he doesn't have many cards to swap in his hand, and the lineup on the pitch is the best Barcelona can come up with right now.
The impact of Edmilson and youngster Lionel Messi's absence due to injury is on full display at this moment, and with their spiritual leader Puyol still in the midst of a cumulative yellow card ban, Barcelona's situation at the moment is really not optimistic. But even so, the attacking power that erupted in their desperate fight still made Chelsea jealous and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
With Chelsea's airtight defence, time runs very fast. This was especially true for Barcelona fans, who felt as if it was just a split second, and the time suddenly came to the 88th minute of the second half, towards the end. At this time, the Camp Nou was dead, and some Barcelona fans and female fans even couldn't help crying. All Barcelona fans pray at this moment that a hero can be born to help the team out of a difficult situation.
At this time. Ronaldinho once again picked up the ball in front of the edge of the penalty area, his eyes burning with unwillingness. But obviously. At this time, the Brazilians were already too anxious and a little irrational. When from the eyes. Lao Lei can judge that he will definitely come by himself this time, even if it doesn't work, he will come hard.
Without the scruples of Ronaldinho's passing, it is not too difficult for Lao Lei to defend him. In the face of the dazzling fancy movements he made again, Lao Lei did not react, only after he took two steps sideways to get up, he brazenly let go of the shovel, bringing him down at the same time, and also successfully shoveling the football. This was not a very difficult defense, but Lao Lei was very happy. Because he knows that the competition between him and Ronaldinho in this game has already been decided, and the opponent is already in chaos at this time.
This time, for the first time, Lao Lei stretched out his right hand to Ronaldinho, who was sitting on the ground, not because of friendliness, but because he wanted to show off. "I won!" Leaning down and looking directly into the eyes of the Brazilian, Lao Lei ignored the anger and unwillingness, just showed a smug smile and said triumphantly. It's been a long time since he's made such a rather naΓ―ve move, but today is the exception. He was driven by a slightly peculiar relationship with Ronaldinho.
"Humph!" In such a situation, although he shows people every day as a happy person, in fact, Ronaldinho, who is extremely proud in his heart, will naturally not take over Lao Lei's right hand. After glaring at him fiercely, the Brazilian snorted coldly. turned his head and left, the unwillingness contained in his voice was overflowing.
The actions of the two heavenly kings did not escape the surveillance of the cameras. Although I don't know what the two of them are talking about. But just from Lao Lei's triumphant face, everyone can almost appreciate the samadhi. When Lao Lei's smug smiling face appeared on the big screen at the scene. The already irritable Barcelona fans in the stands vented their feelings on him, and suddenly the Camp Nou stadium, which had just been a little silent, was filled with shrill boos again.
But. It's just useless for them. Because this is the best victory gift and celebration for Lao Lei, he smiled happily on the big screen at the scene, and the smile made Barcelona fans grind their teeth. Eventually, after Giuli's last-ditch long-range shot flew over the crossbar, the referee on duty finally blew the whistle for the end of the game amid Mourinho's disgruntled protests, and Chelsea took another solid step towards defending their title with another away win over Barcelona.
After the victory, Camp Nou suddenly became Chelsea's one-man show, and no Barcelona was in the mood to stay and watch how Chelsea celebrated the victory. A handful of Chelsea fans and the entire Chelsea squad have become the rightful directors of the Camp Nou at this moment, the anti-guest hosts. But what they didn't know was that at this time, Barcelona President Laporta, who had just finished watching the game, had dialed the phone, and UEFA President Platini, who had just watched the game in front of the TV, and a black storm was coming towards them.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. At this moment, the happy old Lei once again took out his "peeing" celebration ceremony, and his triumphant figure once again became the focus of the media. In his post-match press conference, his move was also openly questioned by the Catalan media, criticizing him for his lack of respect for Barcelona.
To this, he just replied lightly: "I just fulfilled my bet." It's a pity, if you can win, you can see me kneeling. I've given you a chance, so I'd like to ask you to stop using those words of respect and morality to describe me in the future, our relationship has become so bad that everyone knows it, and what kind of official talk you have. β
His words made the media reporters below a lot of noise, and they were shocked by such bold and straightforward words. From the pitch to the pitch, the media have been given enough news material for this game, and this game can be called a textbook template for the media's favorite football game.
On the second day, the match between Chelsea and Barcelona made headlines in the sports newspapers, and the photo of Ray 'peeing' at the Camp Nou became a favourite of all the newspapers, becoming the most quoted photo of the game and the most clicked by fans. It can be said that Lao Lei has once again become the most popular topic in football around the world.
It's just that he and Chelsea didn't have time to enjoy the win, and they didn't have much time to adjust and rest in the hectic sprint of the season. The third day after returning to London. Chelsea had to travel to Birmingham City for another away league game. With Mourinho keeping most of his main players in London. Chelsea ended up with just one sultry draw at St Andrews and their quest to win the title early this morning was once again slowed down.
Thankfully. They have a big enough points advantage over Manchester United that even if they are showing an amazing ability to steal points, they still can't threaten Chelsea's top spot. In contrast, Ferguson and the Red Devils should be most concerned at this time with Liverpool chasing after them, rather than catching up with Chelsea. Although Ferguson is still stubborn, not many people are optimistic that his Manchester United can complete a shocking comeback.
Therefore, Mourinho's attitude towards this draw was very rare and very calm, and he did not show the slightest anger. Judging by his old temper. It's kind of unbelievable. After all, Birmingham at this time is a team from the relegation zone, even if most of Chelsea's main players are not there, this game can be regarded as a big upset.
But after the game, the English media was not surprised by this, and rarely expressed the same attitude as Mourinho. Even the always rigorous Times humorously said: "Mourinho has made a very solid decision, and his decision to define this game as a training match is very reasonable compared to the second leg of the Barcelona meeting." Because at this time, half of the league titles are already in his arms, and the Champions League is still a few steps away. In such a situation, it is very reasonable to invest more effort in the Champions League. β
Under the environmental conditions of such a big public opinion. Chelsea's unexpected dullness didn't attract much attention at all. Sandwiched between the two legs between Chelsea and Barcelona, Birmingham are saddened to find out that they were just mouthwashes and not even desserts.
Barcelona flew to London immediately after playing their weekend league fixtures. Prepare for the second round. Although the loss of the first leg made all the personnel, including Rijkaard and Ronaldinho, criticized by the media and fans.
But in the first round, they still have a shortage of personnel after all, which can be used as a shield. So this time. When they went to London, they were unanimously sought after by the Catalan media in public opinion. Among them, "Le Monde Sport" has gone to great lengths to give Barcelona 10 reasons why they will win. In the midst of the words, it is as if you are a master of language.
At last. Maybe even they felt that this trick could only give them a little psychological comfort and didn't play a big role, so they immediately used another trick to influence Chelsea, or more accurately, it should be said to affect Lao Lei, the brain of Chelsea, the public enemy of Barcelona.
"Godzilla is cuckolded! Hollywood girlfriend steals fishy co-actor! Such a huge title, plus a couple of photos of Kayla and lead actor Matthew McPhedion chatting and laughing intimately at home from somewhere they didn't know where they took. Although there are no real photos, as long as you add the halo of Hollywood stars, all normal photos are enough to make the viewer have something charming or dirty.
Although Lao Lei is not included in this, he is inevitably a little unhappy in his heart. After all, he is not really an open European man, but a typical Chinese man at heart, with an extraordinary possessiveness for opposite-sex partners. From the Chinese point of view, this may be the closest love, but in the eyes of foreigners, it is too much and belongs to too strong control.
"What?! What did you say?!! How can you say that about me, what kind of person I am, don't you still understand?! You don't understand? Heh, then let's stop talking, shit! β
With a snap, Lao Lei smashed the phone heavily to the ground.
Then, he tore an English newspaper that had reprinted the news from Le Monde Sport to shreds.
"Shit!!"
Among the falling newspaper fragments, Lao Lei's angry eyes were particularly obvious.
Like a raging fire, unstoppable! (To be continued......)
