Chapter 779

"The second conceded goal also has something to do with my on-the-spot command. I should not ask the team to shrink as a whole when we are behind. Instead, I should show our absolute confidence that we are extremely eager to equalize the score!" Ferguson changed his voice: "So I hope everyone will not bring the feeling of being behind by two goals at halftime into the locker room. A football game is a 10-minute battle. Now only 45 minutes have passed. It does not mean that we have no chance to equalize the score. As long as we have enough patience, victory will still beckon us!"

"...Don't forget, the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final! Liverpool, which we hate the most, was able to fall behind by three goals at halftime, catch up in the second half, and tie the score at 1:3 in just 3 minutes! The final penalty kick won the game, and the one that was closer to us was the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League final. Wasn't Valencia at that time trailing by two goals in the first 80 minutes of the game? What was the final score? I believe everyone here knows Right? 4:2! It took them [-] minutes to score four goals and completely kill the game! Why can't we? We are the great Red Devils Manchester United!!"

Ferguson's ability to mobilize players' emotions is indeed very powerful. He made the players realize that the first half lag had nothing to do with him through his preconceived apology, and then turned into an excellent instigator, mobilizing the fighting spirit hidden deep in the players' hearts with past records.

As his tone intensified, the fighting spirit of the absolute core of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, gradually returned, and the fireworks in his eyes became more and more vigorous, like a warrior with full energy.

The same is true of other Manchester United players. Ferguson is right. A game is a 10-minute battle. There are still 45 minutes left in the game. Liverpool and Valencia can complete the reversal. Why can't Manchester United?
Fighting Cristiano Ronaldo and his friend Wayne Rooney gave a high five.

"Snapped--!"

The Chelsea players who returned to the main locker room were generally in a good mood, because if they remembered correctly, this game was the most straightforward since the two teams clashed. Leading by two goals at halftime is a rare situation, and it is normal to show a happy side.

But this scene looked in Mourinho's eyes, but it was another situation-leading by two goals at halftime made them ecstatic.

Indeed, except for Aiello and Modric who joined the team for a season, the other players are more or less proud, which is not a good sign.

And this is not the first time this has happened, it happened in the FA Cup final half a month ago.

Mourinho clapped his hands, and after the players gathered from his arrangement, he said in a flat tone: "I want to ask everyone here, is the whole game over?"

The more complacent players were taken aback when they heard the words, obviously they did not expect that Manchester United won the Champions League final half-time lead by two goals and did not get praise from the head coach, but instead got questioning. All the complacent players were a little bit dissatisfied.

It was Aiello and Modric who realized that coach Mourinho was about to go crazy.

"I found that many players here have not learned the lesson of the FA Cup final half a month ago. What excuse is there to relax after the game is only half over? Indeed! Two goals lead is something to be happy about, but it should not make us take it lightly, otherwise the tragedy of AC Milan in the 2004-2005 season and the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League final will happen to us again!"

Mourinho said loudly to the players without mercy.

Immediately, Mikel, Carvalho, and Kalou all subconsciously lowered their high heads, apparently being hit by what Mourinho said, and they were indeed a little carried away.

At the same time, in a VIP box at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Florentino and several of his staff sat together and frowned, and so did Jorge Mendes sitting aside. Manchester United trailed by two goals at halftime, which meant that Chelsea would most likely defend the Champions League title this season.

According to what Mendes said from Cristiano Ronaldo more than half a month ago, if Manchester United cannot win the Champions League final this season, then it is very likely that Florentino, who will regain control of Real Madrid, will not be able to get Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

A Kaka and the French hopeful star Benzema cannot make him win a complete victory. Is it necessary to start a plan to introduce Ibrahimovic with full of personality?
But Florentino didn't want to introduce this Swedish star who said bad things about himself behind his back.

It seems... can only buy Liverpool's Spanish double stars Xavi Alonso and Arbeloa first...

In the other VIP room, the two people sitting in the middle were discussing the whole wonderful game in the first half, and had a good chat.

Sitting on the left is an oriental young man who seems to be in his early twenties, dressed more expensively, and on the right is a western middle-aged man, dressed a little weirdly, with a bearded face and an expensive Armani suit. He looks very different, but he has a rare sense of affinity.

From a secular point of view, the two are more like two generations, but they have found a common topic because of this Champions League final.

It turned out that this young man was the young Chinese rich man who went to Bern, Switzerland yesterday, so why was he at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome?
In fact, the whole process was quite complicated. After arriving at the address provided by Soler yesterday, he found that the owner was not at home. After asking the neighbors, he learned that this low-key rich man was already in Rome, waiting for the Champions League final. Therefore, the young Chinese rich man had to transfer to Rome again. After many contacts, he finally contacted himself, and now he is here...

"Young man, I really want to know what you want to do to completely acquire the shares of Valencia?" The middle-aged man with a bearded face suddenly changed his voice and said, "If you want to be a simple major shareholder, the 60.00% shares you own are enough. You must know that without sufficient reasons, I cannot completely hand over Valencia to a Chinese, even if there was a Chinese who made outstanding contributions to this club in the past."

"Mr. John, I'm not going around in circles with you. The reason why I bought all the shares in Valencia is very simple, that is, I want the whole club to have only one voice." The young rich man said in fluent American English.

"But as I said just now, 60.00% of the shares can also make you a major shareholder of the team, and you can only have your voice in the entire club. Besides... I am just an ordinary fan without actual shares and no right to speak."

"Okay...then I'll just say it straight." The young rich man thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Maybe you won't believe it, but it really exists. I bought Valencia just for a promise."

The young rich man didn't give John room to think, and directly told a short story.

"About ten years ago, a middle school student in a prefecture-level city in China could be regarded as a rich second-generation junior high school student. He played football well but had a very arrogant personality. I had to say goodbye to football under the pressure of..."

After a while, John came back to his senses and asked, "Can I ask the Chinese player who made you pay hundreds of millions of euros, who is it?"

Although John has roughly understood through the short story just now that the protagonist should be the young Chinese rich man sitting next to him, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield, who can know that what he said is all the truth?If it's a lie, what's the point?
Looking at it from another perspective, spending huge sums of money to acquire Valencia is just to let good friends come to play in Valencia, and the level may not be much better...

Besides, Valencia is one of the best giants in Spain. It is naturally not a good choice to hand over the ownership of the club to a Chinese, and it may ruin all the glory of Valencia in the past.

The young rich man chuckled and said, "Actually, he is at the Olympic Stadium in Rome."

"Ah? Came here too? Why didn't you call him over to watch the game together?" John wondered.

"I also want to call him over to watch the Champions League final, but..." The young rich man smiled wryly, "But he still has the second half to play."

"The second half of the game is going to be played?" A figure suddenly appeared in John's mind and exclaimed, "Could it be..."

At this moment, the game signal cut into the player channel, players from both sides walked towards the field one after another, and the fans on the scene burst into cheers like a tsunami in tacit agreement at this moment.

At this time, more than 7 fans in the audience, regardless of you and me, only cheered for the players from both sides who appeared on the stadium, hoping that they can continue to contribute wonderful 45 minutes in the second half.

"Okay, the players from both sides have already stepped onto the pitch, and the wonderful 45-minute game in the second half is about to begin." Lineker said at the moment the signal was cut in: "Chelsea led Manchester United by two goals in the first half, so Manchester United will definitely catch up after the start of the second half and increase their offensive efforts. As long as Chelsea defends solidly and counterattacks properly, it is not impossible to completely kill the game..."

Guest commentator Phil said: "That's right, the current initiative on the field is completely biased towards Chelsea, which is leading by two goals. Their defensive ability is very strong, and their counterattack after defense is also excellent. As long as Ai can seize even one chance, then the victory of the final is basically in the hands of Chirezi!"

"Let us witness the birth of the first defending champion of the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League!"

"The storm is in the second half!"
