Chapter 230 The Champion's Heart, Big Storm! !

At the press conference after the game, Lippi, the head coach of the Italian national team, highly praised Xiang Nan's performance in this game——

"Andre? His performance is world-class. I have no doubt that Andre is a Martian legend!!"

Speaking of this, Lippi also laughed, but then, the words of the head coach of the Italian national team became the most exciting words for the reporters in the post-match press conference——

"I think Andre can become Italy's main striker in the next [-] years. In the next [-] years, the head coach of the Italian national team does not need to worry about finding a world-class striker at all!!"

The reporters were completely overwhelmed. This was the first time that the meritorious coach of the [-] World Cup made such a comment on his players. Suddenly, the scene of the press conference became a special press conference for the Italian national team.

The poor head coach of the Irish national team, after waiting for about [-] minutes, turned around angrily and left after no one paid attention to him. their slightest attention...

Uh... After returning to Dublin, the head coach of the Irish national team made a statement to the media in his country about the topic of 'Italian upbringing and etiquette'...

*******
"Italy's striker in the next [-] years? ! ! "

"Turin Post" quoted Lippi's original words as the headline on its front page. However, apparently, the special commentator of "Turin Post" Tomartin was more confident about Xiangnan——

"[-] years?!! Ugh....no no no!!! Look at how old Andre is this year?...[-] years old!! I bet Andre can play at a high level for [-] years, ...Well...that's right, in the past [-] years, Italy can proudly claim that we have the most lethal weapons in the world!!!...Why do I have confidence in Andre?...This question...Let's put it this way , as confident as I am in my staying power in bed..."

Uh... Well, men, they have always been very confident in a certain function of their own... Well... It seems that Thomas is very confident in Xiang Nan! ! !

*******
Three days later, on April [-]th, Newcastle, St. James' Park, Chelsea VS Newcastle away! !

St. James' Park was quiet. Even the craziest and most loyal Newcastle fans did not make the slightest sound. Fans from both sides kept their voices in their throats. Everyone's eyes were on the inside of the stadium. The No. [-] player in the black and white striped shirt! ! !
Owen took a deep breath and put the ball on the penalty spot. With an expressionless face, he raised his head and glanced at Petr Cech, who was constantly moving in front of the goal! !
At this time, on the electronic scoreboard of the stadium, the flashing score faithfully told all the fans——

'Chelsea [-]:[-] Newcastle, Andre [-] minutes'! !

In the [-]th minute of the first half, Xiangnan received a cross from Malouda, a beautiful header, the ball hit the turf, and a beautiful artistic '' In a V' shape, rolled into the net from the side of the Newcastle goalkeeper---

[-]:[-]! !

Now, it is the second minute of the [-]-minute stoppage time of the whole game. Owen broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by Carvalho. The referee directly copied the Chelsea central defender and showed a red card and awarded a penalty kick! ! !
This penalty is extremely important to Newcastle, which is now deep in the relegation zone. Now, every point is so precious to this former Premier League team! !

Irving glanced at referee Francis.

Francis gave a sharp whistle——

England's former golden boy, started to run, accelerate, suddenly slow down, and shoot! ! ! !
Cech was completely overwhelmed by Owen's fast and slow pace, the center of gravity moved ahead of time, and Owen calmly took the ball to the middle! ! !

Boom! ! ! !
The entire St. James' Park stadium fell into madness for a moment. This man named Michael Owen, at this moment, became the hero of this city that is crazy about football. Although, this is only a penalty kick, although, this game , just a draw! !Although, Newcastle has not yet completely stepped out of the relegation zone! !

However, Newcastle people at this moment, let's celebrate to our heart's content! ! !
This night belongs to Michael Owen and Newcastle! ! !

Xiang Nan drooped his head a little dejectedly. Although he scored a goal and increased his league goal count by one more, he didn't bring the team a victory, which made Chelsea's No. [-] shooter very frustrated! !

He lifted up his jersey, rubbed his hands vigorously, and walked south towards the player tunnel! !
"Wait a second, Andre!!! Please wait a second!!!"

Xiang Nan looked back just in time to see Irving taking off his jersey and walking towards him.

Xiang Nan quickly took off his jersey, which was soaked in sweat and looked heavy, and handed it over.

"Andre, that goal of yours was wonderful!!!" Owen's eyes showed sincerity.

"Michael, you are great too, you are a hero in their eyes!!" Pointing to Nan, he was still celebrating wildly, shouting 'Michael Owen! ! ' said the Newcastle fan.

"Haha yes!!! Every Newcastle player is a hero tonight!! Goodbye Andre!!!"

"Goodbye, Michael!!"

Two shirtless players, one tall and one short, with the same wet jerseys on their shoulders, walked in opposite directions. Under the floodlights, on the green grass, casts a beautiful shadow...

*******
After the away game against Newcastle, the whole Chelsea team did not return to London. Instead, after a night's rest in Newcastle, the whole team, including Xiangnan, who was about to suspend this round of the game, rushed to London together the next day. Liverpool, preparing for the first leg of this season's quarter-finals of the Champions League against Benitez's team! !

"Chelsea is a strong opponent, we are familiar with each other, this game is not easy to play, whoever wins the game, it is normal!! Andre? Yes, Chelsea without Andre, let us Breathe a sigh of relief, but please don't forget that Drogba is also a dangerous guy!!"

In the pre-match press conference, Liverpool coach Benitez said to the media.

Of course, Scolari also complimented the 'powerful Liverpool', which is enough to make Liverpool fans have a good impression of this Brazilian... After all, facing the famous Premier League devil away, say a few more good words to please the opponent Fans, no one will die...

Moreover, this season's Liverpool has indeed performed better than in previous seasons. In the league, at least, Benitez's team has been the leader in several rounds...

*******
On April [-]th, Anfield Stadium, sitting in the stands facing the south, witnessed the team's biggest loss in the Champions League this season——
Following the sharp whistle of the referee Merck, piercing the night sky over Anfield, Liverpool fans started a grand carnival. At this moment, the score on the electronic scoreboard at Anfield is so glaring——

The end of the game: Liverpool [-]: [-] Chelsea! ! ! !
As stated in The Times after the game:

Benitez was half right. Didier Drogba was indeed the most threatening Chelsea in this game. At the beginning of the second half, the Ivorian received a pass from Ashley Cole and scored a header. Reina opened the gate and narrowed the score gap to [-]:[-]... However, after the game, the deepest feeling of the Chelsea people is that only one Drogba is not enough! ! !

However, I am afraid that even the Spaniard himself did not expect that he would score [-] goals against Chelsea, who only conceded [-] goals in the Champions League this season. Fishing for the ball... I believe that Andre in the stands is the most uncomfortable person! !

The English media, like The Times, used the same words as shocking and unbelievable to describe the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the Premier League civil war——

"Manchester Guardian" -- "Anfield!! Liverpool [-]:[-] Chelsea?!!! Incredible night!!!"

"Daily Mirror" --- "Drogba's goal can hardly hide the terrible defeat of the Blues!!!"

"The Sun" --- "Scolari's nightmare!!!"

"London Post" - "Come back soon - Andre!!!"

*******
Compared with the result of the game itself, for Chelsea, the greater anxiety comes from the chaos within the team! !
In this game, Scolari insisted on using Deco and Quaresma's two-wing combination, which has already proved to be a failure at Stamford Bridge and in the two legs of the Alpi Stadium against Juventus. The arrangement was actually placed on the Anfield Stadium by the Brazilian again! ! !

If the game is won, or if the score is more acceptable, it will be easy to handle, but, face to face, [-]:[-]! !Almost all critics, experts, and fans believed that the score was definitely eliminated. Scolari's stubbornness once again became the focus of discussion in the media after the game! ! !
It is said that after Chelsea got promoted from Alpen by chance, in the last game, Chelsea only scored [-] point at Newcastle's St. In the battle against Anfield, all contradictions were temporarily suppressed.

However, now, under such a catastrophic loss, no one can guarantee that Chelsea can return to the home court and win Liverpool with a score of [-]:[-] under the score of [-]:[-]! !

All the contradictions broke out at this moment! !

You know, just in this game, before Chelsea's away game against Liverpool, Chelsea's owner, Mr. Abramovich, a Russian who hardly puts satellites, also rarely told the media that the team's goal this year is to win the league and Champions League Double! !
Of course, Abramovich, the mysterious boss, will not be interviewed by the media. The original words are, when Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon was interviewed by The Times, he expressed it like this——

"Roman is very satisfied with the current status of the team. Obviously, we are the best team in Europe...Roman believes that the team can achieve a breakthrough this season...better than last season..."

Well, in the [-]-[-] season, Chelsea won the runner-up in the Premier League and the Champions League champion! !The FA Cup and the League Cup, the Triple Crown! !

So, this one, is it better than last season? ! !
Chelsea have already been eliminated from the FA Cup and League Cup this season, just because of that 'this season is better than last season'---Obviously, Chelsea has only one goal, and that is---

The Premier League and Champions League Double! ! !
Well, at this time, when Mr. Abramovich's satellite just took off, Scolari's Chelsea gave his big boss a satellite at Anfield, and pierced PY severely. You know, the boss's ass, Is it so easy to say fuck and fuck? ! ! !

In a word, the boss has lost face, the matter is very serious, and the consequences are very serious! ! !

All of a sudden, the sound of Scolari dismissing get out of class spread rapidly in England! !

However, on April [-], the day after the game, Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, in an interview with the media, still expressed the club's support for coach Scolari.

*******
On April 4th, London, rainy day, the rain that lasted for several days, brushed the green turf of Stamford Bridge, connecting a line between the green and gray sky.

In the heavy rain in London, the Chelsea VS Bolton game at home, the Blues almost suffered another major blow! !
"g-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-a-a-a-l!!! AND---- REA!!! Andre's header in stoppage time!!! [-] : [-]!!!! This is a real lore!!! Chelsea won a victory that should have established the lead earlier!! Thank you Andre!!"

As the high-pitched voice of the Stamford Bridge commentator said, 'Chelsea have won a victory that should have been established earlier! ! '! ! ! !

Throughout the game, Chelsea took advantage of the field, but were unable to score for a long time. In the end, because of the flu, they sat on the bench. Xiang Nan, who barely made his debut, took advantage of a corner kick and scored the winning goal at the last moment. one ball! !

It is worth mentioning that after Xiang Nan came off the bench, except for that goal, maybe because of the flu, he did not perform well...
All of a sudden, the question of whether Chelsea's head coach will stay or not has once again become the favorite topic of the Fleet Street elite...
