Chinese champion

Chapter 141 Before the Game
Hearing what Pei Wei said, Zhu Jun waved his hand indifferently: "You also said that we are brothers, so what's the matter?" After a pause, Zhu Jun immediately waved away his serious expression, She said treacherously: "But... if you really want to thank me... then you should also pay for the hotel's expenses!"

"Zhou Papi must be a relative of yours..."

The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely warm. Pei Wei's mother had learned from Wu Qi and the others before Pei Wei's arrival that this beautiful and generous girl had such an inexplicable relationship with her son. After knowing this, Pei Wei's mother has been holding Marco'er's hand affectionately all the time, constantly talking nonsense, asking questions about this and that, and Marcoer also obediently answers them one by one.

Ma Ke'er's attitude made her mother like it very much. You must know that what older women look forward to is to hold grandchildren. When dinner is almost finished, Pei Wei's mother's eyes are a little bit wrong. Marco was like seeing his daughter-in-law.

On the other side, Pei Wei's father took a sip of brandy, frowned, put down his glass and said, "This is the only bad thing about foreign countries. This wine is as weak as water, and has no taste."

Li Min smiled, took out a bottle from his pocket and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Uncle Pei, what do you think this is?"

Pei Wei's father's eyes lit up, he reached out and took the bottle, pulled out the cork, and took a deep breath: "Good wine! Sorghum wine that has been brewed for at least five years... By the way, you are from Northeast China. People, right? The sorghum wine in the Northeast of your country is famous!"

Li Min nodded: "Yes, it's from Dalian, Liaoning. This wine was given to me by my father when I went home last time. I usually can't drink it because I have to play a game. I brought it with me when I came here yesterday. I'm going to drink it. It was used for Pei Weiqing after the game the day after tomorrow, and today, of course, I will let you enjoy it first! This wine can’t be bought even if you have money, and my father brewed it himself!”

"Then you can't drink it!" Pei Wei's father immediately stuffed the cork in again: "Drink it the day after tomorrow! Congratulate Wei Wei!"

"That's not going to happen!" Hu Yong said hurriedly: "I want to drink today, I wish Pei Wei a successful victory the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay! Well said!" Pei Wei's father was so happy, and Pei Wei who was next to him hurriedly pulled out the cork again and filled his father's glass.

"Come on, Pei Wei will have a competition the day after tomorrow, so drink it instead. Auntie and Ke'er also drink. Everyone else fills up the red wine. Let's have a toast!"

"Dry!"

After finishing a cup, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and Zhu Jun suddenly yelled: "It's terrible!"

"What's the matter?" Others asked one after another, Zhu Jun said with a bitter face, "I forgot about He Tou, he hasn't eaten yet!"

"Ha! What a pity you kid, you actually forgot about the coach, let's see if he won't give you little shoes next time!"

As soon as Zhang Qi finished speaking, He Jin's angry cry came from outside the door: "You guys, do you still have the awareness to respect your teacher? You actually put the coach aside and ate it yourself, look It's been a long time since you guys have trained with a lot of exercise, right?"

……

Abandoning Pei Wei and the others, who were having a good time with the host and guests, Manzano returned to his room with unfulfilled intentions after sending He Jin away.

It seems that Chinese football has a bright future in the future. In addition to excellent players like Pei Wei, there is also a brilliant coach like He Jin. It is not easy to talk about He Jin. If you talk to him all afternoon, Really benefited a lot.

However, some of the concepts he said are not yet available, because the most important thing at present is the game against Porto the day after tomorrow.

Portuguese football began to shine after the European Cup in 2000. Although most of their outstanding players played abroad, their domestic league level is still very high, and Porto has won the Portuguese Super League this season ahead of schedule this year. The champions, like their own team, can go all out in the UEFA Cup final.

The strength of Porto's three lines is very average, and there is no obvious weakness. The forwards are South African international McCarthy and the young player Postiga who was recently selected for the Portuguese national team. McCarthy is extremely fast, and his height is 1.8 meters. He is a very good striker, while Postiga has a strong sense of grabbing points, and the striker formed by the two of them is very powerful.

The No. 10 Brazilian Deco in the midfield is the soul of the entire Porto team. This 1.7-meter-tall midfielder is an all-around player. He can do well in organizing attacks, attacking himself, and retreating to defend. It is well organized, and the Portuguese internationals Maniche and Queresma on both sides are fast, skilled, and strong offensive players. The midfielder is the Russian international Alenichev, who is very aggressive in defense.

Porto's defense is headed by two Portuguese national team members George Costa and Ferreira. Their goalkeeper is the former Barcelona's main goalkeeper and Witte Baia, who was once known as the best goalkeeper in Europe.

In the semi-finals, unlike Mallorca who narrowly eliminated the Celtics in overtime, Porto swept the Serie A powerhouse Lazio 4:1 at home, and then tied the opponent 1:1 away. , without a surprise promotion.

"Hmm... with a sharp striker, a creative midfielder and a solid defense, this team is really good. I heard that their coach is about the same age as me. It seems... his name is Murray Neo."

"If you want to deal with them, the most important thing is to keep an eye on Deco, their midfield organizer... But Mourinho will definitely strengthen his defense against Pei Wei. It depends on the strength of the players. Our team Although there are not so many international footballers here, the strength is definitely not inferior to them! Besides, it still depends on the players' performance on the court."

"But their goalkeeper is still Baia. Although he used to be the best goalkeeper in Europe, he is 33 years old after all, and he is only 1.8 meters tall. He is good at attacking and single-handed shots. His Reaction and judgment will definitely become a little slower with age, plus he is not good at dealing with high-altitude balls, well, this seems to be a breakthrough."

In the training on the second day, Manzano strengthened the training of crossing after breaking through from the wing and long-range shots before the penalty area. Due to the full rest, the players were in very good condition, which made Manzano feel correct decision.

"How about it? Isn't it a good idea to let them rest for two days?" Manzano said proudly to Ferrando.

Ferlando nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's true... But I'm a little worried that their status will come out a little earlier."

"Haha! Don't worry, this is not their best state. I hope their state can reach a peak tomorrow! So..." Manzano patted Ferrando on the shoulder: "It depends on you Now, how did today's training allow them to adjust their bodies to the best!"

Ferlando also smiled: "Of course! This is my responsibility!"

************************************************
The day passed quickly, and when the last training session before the game ended, Manzano looked at the energetic players with satisfaction and said loudly: "Boys! We will welcome us soon." The most important game of the season, are you nervous?"

Eto'o lazily said: "Come on, boss, I'm full of energy now, and I'm looking forward to the start of the game soon!"

"That's right!" Ibagaza also said, "We must beat them up today! This is our Spanish territory!"

The words of Eto'o and Ibagaza resonated with the players, and they began to clamor to destroy their opponents. It seems that the "iron and blood spirit" of coach Aragones has taken root in the hearts of the players.

"Good!" Manzano was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the players: "You know, this is the first time in Mallorca's history that we have assumed so many expectations. We are already the last hope of the Spanish team in the European arena. The whole of Spain is watching us, today, let our offense destroy their defense, let our name be engraved on that silver cup! Let's go now!"

"Oh!" The team members rushed out of the training ground screaming "Aww". Manzano and Ferrando, who stayed at the end, looked at each other, and their fists collided heavily in the air.

"Come on!"

The Olympic Stadium in Seville was originally built by Spain for its bid to host the 2004 Olympic Games.However, the right to host the Olympic Games was not applied for, but it became the home stadium of Seville under a combination of circumstances, which can accommodate 11 spectators. In terms of the capacity of spectators, it is second only to Camp Nou, which can accommodate 5000 people. And the Bernabeu, which can accommodate 5000 people, is the third largest stadium in Spain.

With more than an hour before the start of the game, 1 Mallorca fans and more than [-] Porto fans have already occupied most of the stands, while most of the other spectators are local fans of Seville. Or, they actually support Mallorca, which is also a Spanish team, so today, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is Mallorca's home court.

Fans from both sides displayed huge portraits of the most popular players of the team, among which Pei Wei, Eto'o, Deco and others were the most prominent, and the most conspicuous were the five-star red flags on the stands. It was local Chinese fans in Spain who came to cheer for Pei Wei and Mallorca.

Zhu Jun took Pei Wei's parents, Mar Ke'er, He Jin and a group of ten people into a box in a mighty manner. Of course, the ticket for this box was bought by Zhu Jun. Anyway, in Seville Playing local games, with his status as a Sevilla player, it was easy to get a few VIP tickets. How can he be regarded as a local snake?

After sitting down in the private room, Marco frowned: "My dear, there are so many people, it's completely different from what it looks like on TV."

Zhang Qi joked: "Why, you have been in Europe for so many years, and you still don't know about this kind of scene?"

Marco gave him a blank look: "I thought I was like you. I depended on this to make a living. Miss Ben came to study in Europe. Besides, I went to a church school. It would be nice if I could watch football games on the TV in the school." , How can I have time to go to the scene to see it?"

Pei Wei's mother just poked her head out and looked down: "There are so many people, where is Wei Wei? Why can't I see it?"

The husband gave his wife a hand: "It hasn't started yet. Players like Weiwei and the others are currently in the locker room listening to the coach's final tactics. They will come out before the game starts."

"Oh." The wife nodded, and then pointed to the fans in the stands and asked, "What's the fuss about them before the game started, why don't you be quiet? It's not tiring to shout and sing like this." .”

"Auntie." Marco explained to her: "In Europe, watching football matches on the spot has become an important leisure leisure. Fans shout on the field to cheer for their favorite teams. It's a kind of catharsis for their mood, they are not afraid of being tired, they are afraid of not being tired."

On the other side, Zhu Jun and the others were also chatting, and Hu Yong said with emotion: "He has now stood on the field of the UEFA Cup final, and we, although we have achieved some results, the gap with him is still widening." ah."

"No way." Wu Qi shrugged his shoulders: "He started earlier than us, and his starting point in Europe was higher than ours, so he can integrate into the European football environment faster."

"Yes." Zhang Qi and Zhang Qi also agreed with Wu Qi's statement: "Although we worked hard at home in those three years, Pei Wei paid much more than us abroad. His current achievements are due to his hard work. As a result, we can only catch up with him if we work harder!"

"However, we have already taken this crucial step. We have also come to Europe, the football paradise. As long as we are willing to pay, our future achievements will not be worse than him!" Li Min clenched his fists and said confidently.

"Let's work hard!" Du Wei said, "We can't let him pull it down!"

"That's right!" Zhu Jun raised his arms and shouted, "Down with Pei Wei!"

"Plop!" Everyone else fell down...

"The guy who ruined the atmosphere!" The five people immediately surrounded Zhu Jun with punches and kicks, which was mixed with Zhu Jun's cry for help.

Ma Keer next to him covered her mouth and snickered, and Pei Wei's parents also looked on cheerfully. The relationship between these people is really good. With these friends, Wei Wei shouldn't be very lonely in Europe, right?

At this time, the atmosphere of the stadium, which was already boiling, rose to a higher level again. Shocking cheers sounded, and players from both sides entered the field!
The game is about to begin!
