Dominate the midfield

Chapter 254 Chapter 254: Liar!
Marseille is the second largest city and largest seaport in France, surrounded by limestone hills on three sides, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.

The southeast of Marseille is close to the Mediterranean Sea, with deep water and wide harbor, no rapids and dangerous shoals, and [-]-ton ships can pass unimpeded; the Rhone River and flat valleys in the west connect with Northern Europe, and the geographical location is unique.

The whole port consists of four major port areas: Marseille, Lavera, Fosse and Rhône-Saint-Louis, with an annual cargo volume of 1 million tons, making it the largest gateway for foreign trade in France.

The Marseille team was once the pride of this historic city. They won the first Champions League trophy in French history in 92.However, people later learned that God made a joke with them, and Marseille boss Tapie bribed the opponent's players.

UEFA deprived Marseille of the title of European champions, the French Football Association killed them, not only deprived them of the league title but also relegated them to the second division.

The strong strength allowed Marseille to win the second division championship in the following year, but was disqualified from promotion due to financial crisis.

Adidas and other big companies extended a helping hand in times of crisis. The team finally returned to the first division in the 1996-97 season. League runner-up.

Since then, Marseille has slowly recovered, ranking No.3 in Ligue [-] last season and qualifying for the Champions League play-offs.At the beginning of this season, Marseille passed the play-offs of the Champions League and participated in the main match. Unfortunately, they failed to qualify for the group stage, but they qualified for the UEFA Cup.

In the UEFA Cup, Marseille eliminated the Eredivisie powerhouses Twente and Ajax one after another, and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.Not only that, they have made great progress in Ligue [-] this season, becoming the leader of Ligue [-] and the most powerful contender for the Ligue [-] championship.

Although they lost to Wolves [-]-[-] away, they are confident of making a comeback at home.Wang Rui appeared in the Wolves team. The Marseille players did not panic like the French reporters. They had their own pride.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, at the pre-match press conference, Dutch star Zenden said: "Whether Wang will appear in tonight's game or not, we are confident that we will defeat Wolves and advance to the semi-finals!"

Whether Wang Rui will be able to make an appearance tonight is still a mystery, and even if he does, his condition is unknown, so even the British reporter does not think there is anything wrong with the Dutch star's words.

Seeing that the Dutch star is so confident, the French reporter put his heart in his stomach.

Ince did not appear in the pre-match press conference, represented by his assistant Winner.Facing the intensive artillery fire from French reporters, Wenner simply answered a few questions and found an excuse to leave the scene.

The coach did not show up, and the assistant coach left in such a hurry. French reporters thought this was a sign of a guilty conscience for the Wolves, and they were more optimistic about Marseille's promotion.

All conspiracies and tricks, in the face of powerful strength, can only end in bankruptcy!

French journalists thought so.

……

After the Wolves checked into the hotel, they had a hasty breakfast and rested at the hotel.Keep your spirits up and you will be in good shape tonight.

Lidis lived in the same hotel, but Wang Rui didn't go to her. Long-distance travel is tiring. If there is another marathon-style hand-to-hand fight...

Even if he is not injured, his state tonight will be worrying, not to mention he has just recovered from his injury.Compared with the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Cup has the upper hand.

Wang Rui did not come to Marseille to watch the game, he was always ready to play.Since old man Thomson gave me this body of a dissident ordinary person, I can't waste it!
Peter, who was in the same room with him, asked, "Can you bear it?"

Wang Rui sighed and said: "If you can't bear it, you must endure it, if you can't bear it, you must endure it!"

Peter gave a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing!"

……

The Wolves won [-]-[-] at home in the first round. If it were a giant team like Chelsea, they would definitely dare to say that half of their foot has already stepped into the gate of the semi-finals.

But the Wolves do not have the confidence and background to say that it is only a matter of time before they advance.This is of course related to Marseille's return to the home court with a stronger attack power, and it is also related to the strength of the Wolves themselves.

If it is Chelsea, even if Lampard is absent from the game, they are confident to win any opponent, because their overall strength is strong, unlike the Wolves, who rely on a few young people to win the world.

In the first round, they lost 30-[-] away at the feet of Wolves. After three days, Marseille participated in the No.[-] round of Ligue [-]. They vented all their depression on their opponents. With their strong attacking power, they beat Graeme [-]-[-] at home. Noble.

Marseille back home is really terrible!

This is why Zenden dared to say at the pre-match press conference that Marseille is confident of advancing to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Obviously, the Wolves don't want to be overturned by Marseille, they also want to continue to play the role of a dark horse in the UEFA Cup.After lunch at noon, the Wolves took a nap for an hour before taking the bus to the Velodrome Stadium.

Velodrome Stadium can accommodate more than 6 fans. It is one of the stadiums hosting the 98 World Cup. This stadium witnessed Brazil's [-]-[-] loss to Norway in the group stage, and also witnessed the Netherlands' [-]-[-] victory over South Korea.

The semi-final match between the Netherlands and Brazil was also held at this stadium, and Brazil had the last laugh in the penalty shootout at this stadium.

This stadium left Ronaldo's last goal in the World Cup, and also left the ice prince Bergkamp's painful tears.

At around 15:[-] in the afternoon, the Wolves came to this stadium for pre-match adaptive training.They were greeted by a large number of media reporters. Obviously, how far Wang Rui has recovered and whether he can make an appearance tonight has aroused their strong interest.

French football is one of the representatives of the Latin school in Europe. Wang Rui's style of play is tough and elegant, which has a very Latin style. This undoubtedly makes the French feel friendly and is recognized by them.

In particular, his long-distance raid into the Shakhtar team conquered not only British fans, but also many French fans.Wang Rui scored twice in the first round against Marseille, which made the French fans have a deeper influence on the Chinese player.

But whatever the fans care about, the reporters will also care about it, because the fans are their parents.

When Wang Rui got off the bus with his sports bag on his back, the reporters swarmed up. Without the help of the stadium security, Wang Rui might be swallowed up by them.

This scene caused a sneer to emerge from the corner of Peter's mouth, and Kenting asked inappropriately, "Are you jealous?"

Peter twisted his neck a few times, and said disdainfully, "There's nothing to be jealous of. After a few years, I can enjoy the same kind of treatment. He just enjoys it for a few years first."

After all, they were still worried about Wang Rui. Peter asked, "Shall we help him stop those reporters?"

Bell, who remained silent all this time, said, "Forget it, anyway, he is already a celebrity now, this is a compulsory course for celebrities, and it's not a bad thing for him to bear it."

The other two nodded after thinking for a while, then left Wang Rui without any morale and walked towards the locker room.

The lonely Wang Rui had to face the "excited" French journalists and curious journalists from other countries.

"Wang, did your team doctor lie?"

"Wang, is this your idea or Ince's idea?"

The French reporter has concluded that the Wolves have lied. Didn't they say that they will rest for half a month? Why did they start recovery training only a week ago?

"Will you be on stage tonight?"

"Are you the starter or the substitute tonight?"

"If it's a substitute, when is Ince going to let you play?"
