Chapter 225: Irony Louder Than a Bomb

3-0, Chelsea defeated Costa Rica's Saprisa in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup to advance to the final of the Club World Cup '05. The first final of the Club World Cup restart will take place four days later, with Chelsea facing the winner between Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad and Sao Paulo. These should have been the main content of the media coverage after Chelsea's semi-final, but it was not the case, and Lao Lei, who only played half the game, once again became the focus of the media chase after the game.

Reporters and editors at major newspapers have put photos of Mr. Lei celebrating the team's goals twice on the headlines of their sports pages, accompanied by eye-catching headlines in a variety of fonts. "Reima strafing Yokohama! "Godzilla went crazy again and slapped the other party with a Japanese military salute!" and so on, all of a sudden, Lao Lei was rendered as the sworn enemy of the whole of Japan.

And their exaggerated reporting did play a role, and Lao Lei's reputation suddenly became a household name in Japan, and even the Japanese people who are not football fans knew about his fame. The video of him celebrating his goals twice also caused an uproar in Japan, especially the second celebration.

Lao Lei's original intention of doing this action was just to anger the Japanese, but he also did not expect that after being fueled by reporters and the media, this would become a direct expression of his sarcasm for Japan's post-World War II history without reflecting on it. At this moment, Lao Lei, a simple football incident, rose to the height of politics, and instantly doubled and skyrocketed, so that Lao Lei could only look up to Cheng Dù.

Lao Lei was originally a person who hated politics very much. Because he felt that the place was too dark and abnormal, he hated to participate in politics very much. Even being involved in politics is extremely resistant. However, this time, it is related to Japan. That's the exception. For every Chinese, when faced with events related to Japan, they will always subconsciously make it special, and this Lao Lei is no exception. Very rarely, in the face of this kind of news that dragged himself into politics, Lao Lei said that it didn't matter, and even a little happy.

However, he was pleased, not only on the Japanese side. Even Chelsea FC and FIFA are not happy. Not linking football to international political disputes has always been a principle that FIFA adheres to. At this point, the club is also on the same side as FIFA, and making football an arena for political struggle is something that none of them want.

Therefore, although Lao Lei didn't mind such a report this time, the outside world began to mind. While trying to dispel the impression of political disputes in this incident, many people began to criticize Lao Lei invariably, especially FIFA President Seppat and UEFA's new President Platini. For example. In addition to not naming names, Blatter's speech can be said to have criticized Lao Lei to the fullest.

"Players should have a good relationship with the fans, and if they have the slightest unpleasantness, they fall out with the fans, which is simply a stupid way to do it without brains. I hope that individual players can control their emotions and behavior. Although I believe that he did not intentionally bring the political zhì to the court. But I hope that next time he can manage his mind and think before he does something, because his behavior is too different from his current position in world football. Learn how to be a good idol and star. It's more important than winning that next game. ”

This speech, which can be called a Chinese-style anonymous criticism, brought Blatter and Lao Lei, two people who had little to do with each other, together at once. Here's where it goes. The enthusiasm of the media was fully aroused. Considering Lao Lei's past behavior and character, this is simply a player vs. FIFA president's tearing drama. It is a unique spectacle in football.

At this moment, the Club World Cup, a cumulative event, suddenly surpassed the top competition in Europe and became the focus of media attention in various countries. They rushed to Chelsea's hotel and makeshift training base, and Ray became the fragrant piece of flesh and bone they fought for.

However, the subsequent development of the matter is destined to disappoint them. This time, Lao Lei Shuang returned to Shuang, but he himself was fiercely criticized and reprimanded from all sides, whether in public or private. Jose Mourinho, Mendes, the senior management of Chelsea Football Club, and even Kayla's mother Sharman who has not been in touch for a long time have all called across the ocean to educate Lao Lei about his ignorant behavior.

These people have a close connection with him in terms of private life or career, and Sharman is his mother-in-law-to-be, so Lao Lei was honestly taught a hard lesson this time, and rarely did not have any reply. He also knows that these people are all for his good, after all, no matter how famous he is, Dingtian is just a football star, and the bottom line of participating in politics is not something he can touch.

For example, in the past few days, Mendes's phone calls have been blown up by those merchants who asked Lao Lei to endorse them, although Japan is a small country, but it is better than the developed economy, but it is a very large market in Asia. These merchants were light, but they just reminded Lao Lei of a few words, asking him to pay attention to his behavior in public. The heavy ones even gave Mendes an ultimatum directly, claiming that they would consider whether to renew the contract with Lao Lei or directly terminate the contract. If you roughly calculate, Lao Lei has paid more than 1 million euros for this matter in just a few days, and the economic loss can be said to be huge.

Fortunately, this incident was originally hyped up by the media for its influence and popularity, and was not supported by actual evidence, so Lao Lei's losses were within the controllable range. But in any case, Chelsea will not let him give a PR interview for some time to come, unless he wants to apologize to the Japanese public. But unfortunately, this is an impossible task at all, even if Mendes has been persuading, Lao Lei has never had such an idea at all. Compared with economic losses, what he wants more is to have a good conscience.

Although Lao Lei's silence disappointed the media, they did not give up. A lot of people have their eyes on the Club World Cup final, and they are expecting what Lao Lei will do in that match. And this has become a reason why many European journalists did not immediately return home. Rather, the main reason for staying in Yokohama is to continue to stay.

Four days passed in a flash, and the final of the Club World Cup was on schedule. Chelsea's opponents in this final. It was the Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, who beat Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad in the semi-finals. Thus successfully qualifying. It is arguably the only team that can challenge Chelsea in the Club World Cup, and while Chelsea have a clear advantage in terms of overall quality, Sao Paulo are not without a fight. You know, this Brazilian team defeated Barcelona and AC Milan in 92 and 93 respectively to win the Toyota Cup twice, it can be said that it has the confidence and confidence not to be afraid of Chelsea, a first-class European team.

So when it comes to predicting the prospect of this final, while the vast majority of people are optimistic that Chelsea will win eventually, they also believe that Sao Paulo will cause Chelsea a lot of problems and will not keep the Blues from sweating. It was easy to win the Club World Cup. A wonderful final with comings and goings, not one-sided, is the most popular and mainstream evaluation of this final by the outside world.

And, in addition to the wonderful Cheng dù of the game, Lao Lei is another focus of attention from the outside world. At this time, everyone believed that after Blatter made such a harsh speech, he would not have committed a crime against the wind in this game and provoked the already sensitive nerves of Japanese fans again. Once Lao Lei makes any "excessive" moves again. They also believed that the referee, who was affected by the chairman's speech, would take severe punishment against him. Even if Blatter himself repeatedly said before the game that his speech would not have any impact on the referee's decision in the final, this is just a scene of words, and everyone knows the low words.

In such a situation. Whether Lao Lei will respond in this game and how he will respond will attract the attention of the outside world. Although, in general terms. In such a situation, the player should be able to make a temporary concession and retreat, no matter how unwilling he is. After all, it is not a wise thing to do against FIFA, and it can affect the individual. It will even affect the national team you are in.

But because this incident happened to Lao Lei, the outside world didn't know why there was a faint expectation of a different kind. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the reporters who gathered at the Yokohama International Stadium today knew in their hearts what the biggest attraction of this match was for them.

Just as they were waiting for the official start of the game in the media box and on the sidelines, there was a scene in the Chelsea dressing room where Mourinho was like an old mother, constantly admonishing Lao Lei. Sao Paulo is not a bone to gnaw, so as the core of the team, Lao Lei will naturally start when he is healthy, and even Mourinho will not violate this.

But for him, the difficulty lies in the hugely influential dispute that Lao Lei caused in the semi-finals four days ago. As the head coach of Chelsea and the mentor of Lao Lei, Mourinho is particularly worried about Lao Lei today, and he does not want Lao Lei to cause any trouble for himself and the team because of his momentary pleasure and impulsiveness. Therefore, the madman who has always been cold and ruthless has rarely played the role of Lao Lei's mother this time.

"Stop, stop, head, I know, you can let me go. I promise I won't do anything out of the ordinary in this game. Lao Lei lamented that once the sullen man was in trouble, it was really unbearable for anyone, and at the same time begged for mercy and agreed to Mourinho's move.

It's just that Mourinho, who is familiar with his urine, didn't believe it lightly, and he was about to open his mouth again to educate Lao Lei on ideology and morality. Seeing that something was wrong, Lao Lei, who was thinking about his ears, instantly launched his observation of words and feelings, confessed his lenient bug-level skills, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother before Mourinho's words came out. And Mourinho saw that Lao Lei had said everything to this point, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to choose to believe Lao Lei and walked away.

"It's just that I don't do anything in the game, I didn't say I didn't do anything before the game." Seeing Mourinho leaving, Lao Lei looked back after breathing a sigh of relief, and said proudly in his heart.

"Well, now the two teams are officially played. Now the camera is focused on Remaiah, who has caused a lot of trouble before. He had been silent until now, so what kind of performance he will make today in this match is also one of the most important highlights of this match. Oh, he deliberately wore a sports scarf today, which is rare, he didn't wear it before.

Wait a minute! As he walked onto the court, he suddenly flipped his scarf. What is he trying to express?! What do you want to say?! Oh my God, this scarf with a closed mouth pattern will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention after the game. Is this a silent protest?! Or wordless sarcasm?! I can even see Chairman Blatter's iron-clad face! Lei Ma is really exciting, unconvinced! …”

At this time, not only the commentator, but all the people who were watching the game had already moved their shocked gaze to Lao Lei's scarf. Camera, magnesium light, this scarf suddenly became the biggest star on the scene, and it got the highest attention, even Lao Lei couldn't compare.

It's just that it is obvious that Lao Lei himself has been prepared for this, because he is the only one at the scene at this time who is still smiling faintly and calmly, standing there motionless, very honest.

A large mouth with snow-white teeth exposed, coupled with a zipper that was pulled on, was such a simple pattern that swept the brains of all the audience at this time.

Combined with Lao Lei's baby-like expression and behavior, a word came out of everyone's hearts at this time.

Satirize!
