Chapter 234 The Champion's Heart Xiangnan's Arrogance! !

Chelsea's Cobham training base in Surrey, now, it is already evening, and most of the players have gone back.

On the No. 3 training ground, several players of the youth team are training extra.

The sound of thumping footballs is so harmonious in the setting sun.

On another training ground, Xiang Nan is doing shooting training. On the edge of the training ground, there is a small automatic throwing machine developed by the technical department of the base according to Xiang Nan's requirements. After the spring machine is compressed, , according to the passing speed on the football field, the ball can be ejected for practicing volleying to the south.

boom! !

boom! ! ! !

The muffled sound was so loud in the silent training ground.

At this time, on another training ground, the players of the youth team were already preparing to leave.

"Jim, hurry up and go, or you won't be in time for Sira's dance."

"Okay, wait a minute, I will practice the remaining 100 shots, Mike, help me, help me keep the goal!!"

"Jim, I bet Mr. Scolari will put you in the first team..."

"That's right!! I'll be Andre too!!"

...

On another field, Xiang Nan put away the ball, put it in the net pocket, and glanced not far away. He knew about the extra training of those members of the youth team. It reminded him of his childhood. Everyone has the right and stage to chase their dreams! !

The key is, you have to work hard! !

*******
The sea at night is mysterious. Looking around, the endless sea surface is like an unknown journey, waving its arms to you, an endless darkness, an invisible darkness——
Only the quiet sound of the waves is left! !
Xiang Nan hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, looking at the endless sea, feeling that all the distracting thoughts and all the vanity in his heart were drifting away at this moment.

Start with a warm feeling.

Xiang Nan didn't know why he suddenly decided to drive to see the sea at night. He only knew that when Joanna came back from Turin, with a mysterious face, she hugged herself from behind, covered her eyes, and brought He walked to the parking lot and put the car keys of the Hummer H15 worth 2 pounds in his hands——
"Andre, happy holidays, this is my belated Valentine's Day gift!!"

Xiang Nan felt the love of the girl behind him for him, and at that moment, the guilt in his heart filled his whole brain——
'God, Valentine's Day?What did I do over there? '

Xiang Nan turned around, hugged Joanna, and hugged her tightly. At this moment, a strong idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and gradually this idea became stronger and stronger,——
"Honey, let's try out the new car and I'll take you to a place"…

*******
Bare feet, stepping on the thin sandy beach, it feels good, and the cool sea water makes people feel refreshed.

"Joanna, you are my angel!!"

Joanna's eyes were slightly closed, her sexy lips were slightly raised, pearly conch color...

Crazy kiss..
The sea breeze at night made it a bit cold, Joanna curled up in Xiang Nan's arms, and put her little hand in Xiang Nan's palm, "Honey, are you mine?"

"Of course, if it's not yours, who else could it be?" Xiang Nan answered with a guilty conscience when Joanna asked her.

A gust of cool wind blew, and Xiang Nan hugged Joanna in his arms, but he didn't notice the beauty in his arms, that fleeting expression of disappointment...

Sometimes, fleeting opportunities are often the most cherished! !

*******
Stamford Bridge, January 4.

With a sharp whistle, the whole game ended, and the electronic scoreboard at Stamford Bridge showed the final score——
"Chelsea 0:0 Barcelona!!!"

Xiang Nan lifted up his jersey, wiped the sweat off his cheeks, with a depressed and manic expression on his face! !
Messi was not far away. He glanced at Xiangnan and wanted to come over to say something. However, the noisy sound of Stamford Bridge and the debris that might be thrown at Barcelona players from the stands at any time prompted Messi to speak with the assistant coach. After persuasion, let go of this idea——
"Wait a minute, text Andre..."

In the end what happened? ! ! !

"I don't think there is any need for this game. I have to say more. The eyes of the fans can see it!!! This score, compared to the process of the game, is simply a disgrace!!!" Mr. Wilson said There is a strong resentment in the tone! !
In fact, even gods and Buddhas are angry! !
In this game, Chelsea have twice broken the gate of Barcelona ---
In the 36th minute of the first half, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack. Ashley Cole ran all the way along the left. Opened Pique's defense and scored with a header! !

Just when Xiang Nan started to celebrate wildly, the referee's whistle sounded, indicating that Xiang Nan had charged and fouled! !

'If Andre's reasonable squeeze in front of the goal is also considered a foul, then the defenders in the Premier League must all consider their jobs...'--"Daily Mirror" post-match remarks.

...

In the 76th minute of the game, Chelsea counterattacked quickly. Ballack took a long shot from outside the penalty area and hit Harvey's calf. A change of direction, Drogba was on the ball's running line in the Barcelona penalty area. After a while, the ball rolled into the net. While the Côte d’Ivoire elephant was celebrating wildly, the referee’s whistle stifled the goal again. The reason this time was——
Drogba offside first! !

However, the slow motion shows that Drogba was on the same straight line as Puyol, the last defender of Barcelona, ​​at the moment when Ballack shot the goal, not to mention that the ball was touched by Harvey on the running line of the ball. What's the matter? It has nothing to do with offside! !

....
After the game ended, the Norwegian Hanks, the referee on duty, was violently attacked by fans at Stamford Bridge. Under the protection of heavily armed police officers, Hanks fled hastily under the protection of the police shield. court…

After the game, Scolari refused to attend the press conference in protest, while Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, facing the indiscriminate bombardment of English reporters at the press conference, fled after a while.

As a player representative, Xiangnan attended the press conference with assistant coach Wilkins. When facing the media, he controlled his anger very well, and did not let those excited reporters get out of his mouth. Some words that could lead to heavy penalties from UEFA, after experiencing the Alpi incident, Xiang Nan paid more attention to his words and deeds.

However, when leaving the conference hall for the press conference, Xiang Nan said something——
"Now, more than ever, I look forward to the away game at Camp Nou!!!"

*******
UEFA discriminates against Chelsea! ! ! "

"Someone doesn't want Chelsea to defend the title! ! ! "

"conspiracy! !Stamford Bridge is not the first victim! ! "

Such headlines filled the headlines of the English media, and some media even dug up the old story of Arsenal's 1:2 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League final, and talked about it.

However, these are all speculations, and UEFA also stood up immediately and expressed support for the referee of this game——
"Hanks is an excellent enforcer...The video of this game, our technical department... Well, at least 30 times... Hanks' law enforcement has no problem... There is no controversy..."

However, all of this caused an uproar in England because of a report by The Sun. A reporter from The Sun, through some small means used by reporters, before the game was over, to be precise, It was half an hour before the end of the game that I got the official news about the game from UEFA's news department——
"After an intense game... Scolari's Chelsea finally drew 0-0 with Pep Guardiola's side at Stamford Bridge...Chelsea paid the price of 3 yellow cards to defend Barcelona The technical attack of…”

Once this report was disclosed by the "Sun", it caused great controversy, because, in addition to the fact that the score was completely consistent, Chelsea did defend Messi, Iniesta and Eto'o in the game The breakthrough paid a total of 3 yellow cards... However, Chelsea's last yellow card came when Bosingwa fouled Eto'o in the 83rd minute of the game...

As soon as this report came out, when the media questioned UEFA's manipulation of the game, the Chelsea club remained silent.

The spokesperson of UEFA immediately came out to refute the rumors, saying that the so-called 'advance press release' was completely fabricated and fabricated by the "Sun"...

*******
At the Cobham training base, Chelsea's top executives were having a secret meeting. The meeting went on until late at night. Early the next morning, a thick analysis memo was placed in a secluded luxury villa in West London. in the office.

...

"Hollow, Roman, how are you doing?"

...

"Perez, about the situation of the game two days ago, I want to know some in-depth information!!" After saying this, although the proud Abramovich is a little uncomfortable, although Chelsea has already won a European championship , has also established its own power in the Premier League, but, as an upstart, compared with giants like Real Madrid, Chelsea still lacks the background and connections it should have...

Florentino thought for a while, "Regarding this matter, Roman, I think... if Chelsea want to defend their title this year... it will be more difficult..."

...

"Perez, I think we may need to deepen and further cooperate now..."

"No problem, one thing... Roman, about Andre..."

"Perez, although we are friends, but I have to say, don't think of Andre!!" Abu was annoyed in his heart. To be honest, as a Russian oligarch, he didn't like Florentino. I have a cold, and I even feel a little disgusted in my heart, but there are various signs that the trusted UEFA President Michel Platini is already making moves on the gold dollar football, although Abramovich's Chelsea is now spending less money than before. Less, but, no matter how you look at it, Platini's big knife may fall on the Stamford Bridge team...

"Okay... er, if... I mean, if Andrei wants to change the environment, please don't forget to call me in advance!!" Florentino cursed in his heart 'the eager Russian oil tycoon' , said calmly.

...

Platini's idea is very clear, which is to expand the interests of small and medium clubs in Europe and limit the gold dollar football of European giants, especially the erosion of the gold dollar by some rich people mainly in West Asia who focus on the Premier League for European giants.

Now, the focus of UEFA is to legislate to restrict wealthy clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City from using a lot of euros to hoard superstars crazily. Allowing the team to use the club's profitable funds to buy players means that the phenomenon that a rich boss like Manchester City can become a rich man will become history! !
In fact, in the past two seasons, Chelsea's buyers have gradually become rational. In the player transfer market, they no longer spend a lot of money. The transfer expenditure is even less than that of Inter Milan and Manchester United. The purpose of Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon is to allow the club to achieve a balance of payments as soon as possible until it becomes profitable. It didn't really matter at first...

*******
On the second day of this call, the former Real Madrid chairman and the former helm of the Galacticos, Florentino Perez, announced in a high profile that he will run for the Real Madrid chairman election this summer! !

At the press conference, the bosses of Real Madrid also expressed their views on the recent "press release gate" incident that has been raging a lot——
"I don't think there's such a thing as an 'advance press release', it's totally out of order...UEFA is always fair...Chelsea vs Barcelona?...I watched it, but, for the 0-0 score, I still A bit surprised... I'm sure I'm more interested, like everyone, in Chelsea's game at Camp Nou and Barcelona, ​​maybe something will happen... maybe not..."

When Florentino's remarks came out, he was far more shocked than he publicly admitted to running for the summer general election.

After all, Real Madrid's performance this season is really terrible. In the past two years of Calderon's reign, Real Madrid's previous glory has been almost ruined. More importantly, Real Madrid's Kaka problem and AC Milan Bad relationship, because of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, because of Ribery and Bayern Munich, because of Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal... In a word, now Real Madrid has almost no friends in Europe... In this case Next, the voice calling for Florentino to come out again is no longer news, it's just that Florentino has not expressed his position.

It's just that Florentino's remarks made European clubs vigilant. Chelsea wants to join forces with Real Madrid? ! !
Form a European-wide holy alliance? ! ! !
Although, as a Real Madrid native, it is not impossible to make such remarks because he does not want to see Barcelona win the championship, but none of the chairmen or managers of European giants is a fuel-efficient lamp. , smell something.

All of a sudden, in European football, an undercurrent surged...

*******
May 5, Stamford Bridge, London Derby, Chelsea VS Fulham! !

"goooooaaaal!!! Andre!!! 5:1!!! Andre scored his second goal of the game!! This is Andre's 28th goal of the season Ball, he also surpassed Torres' 27 goals and stood at the top of the scorer list!!"

"That's right!!! It seems that Scolari is going to reluctantly take out his bottle of 1896 Cabernet Sauvignon!! Haha!!" Mr. Wilson also joked.

After scoring the goal, Xiangnan rushed to the home stands crazily, beating his chest violently, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in the game against Barcelona! !

In the end, in this game, Chelsea beat Fulham 5:1 and continued to maintain a 4-point lead over Manchester United. With 3 rounds left in the league, the Premier League champion can already be seen! !

For Xiangnan, with 28 league goals, he also surpassed the Spanish Golden Boy and stood at No.1 in the scorer list.

After the game, "The Times" used "It seems that Andre is going to win the bet!" ! "The title of this game is used to describe this game.

*******
On May 5th, at Barcelona Airport, journalists from Spain and England were already waiting in the airport lobby. There were still 4 minutes before the flight of the Chelsea team was about to arrive.

For the second round of the Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​Xiang Nan has always been low-key before the game. When he was interviewed by the French "L'Equipe", he crazily shouted that he would stage a cap at the Nou Camp. Magic, the rhetoric that helped the team enter Rome.

As soon as Xiang Nan's remarks came out, the mouthpiece of Spain, especially Barcelona's News of the World, used sharp reports to criticize Xiang Nan——
"A 20-year-old boy, who won a European Golden Globe Award, raves about performing a hat-trick in Cruyff's Dream Theater. He simply doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth... I hope that after the game, Andre will not cry...you know , Messi didn’t have the time to comfort him at that time!!!”

Regarding his friend's remarks, Messi explained to Xiangnan when he was interviewed by the Catalan media——
"Andre is a guy with high spirits. I think everyone has misunderstood what he means. Maybe he just wants to express his desire for the game...I am also eager for this game!!!"

However, when it comes to the next game, Messi is not polite——
"There is no doubt!! Barcelona will be the final winner of this game!!! Even Andre can't take away my victory!!"

*******
At 19:11, the plane landed at Barcelona Airport.

The Chelsea star who walked out of the cabin looked very tired after the long-distance flight. Xiang Nan even fell asleep in the first-class cabin on the plane.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately swarmed up, and handed countless long guns and short cannons to the Chelsea stars. However, obviously, most of the microphones were handed to Xiang Nan, and even Chelsea's head coach was also blocked at this time. ignored.

"Excuse me, Andre, why do you say that you are going to score a hat-trick at the Nou Camp? You know, this is the biggest insult to Barcelona!!!" It was a reporter from "News of the World" who asked this question. The boss of the Catalonian media, they have always been known for their pro-Barcelona.

"Uh...no!! I think you misunderstood, I think it is the respect for Camp Nou and Barcelona that makes me full of fighting spirit..."

"Andre, Messi believes that he and Barcelona will win in the end. What do you think?" Sky Sports reporter Eduardo asked, his old acquaintance with Chelsea players.

"It's nothing strange!! I know Messi, he is a guy full of fighting spirit. In fact, he is fearless. In this, he is very similar to me!! All my friends are like this!!" Xiang Nan is now dealing with The media is much more mature than before.

"Andre, will you speak to Messi?"

"Of course, why not? However, I think that after the game, some people will always be in a bad mood. This is not a good sign. I think Messi will be very popular if he comes to Stamford Bridge!!" Xiang Nan Also took advantage of the situation to fight a psychological warfare.

Xiang Nan's words immediately caused a sensation in the scene, "Is this Andre's invitation to his friends?" '

"Andre, may I ask, have you discussed this topic with Messi?" It was a Spanish reporter who asked this question. Obviously, any rumors about Messi's departure or stay will cause an uproar.

"Not yet, but after the game I might have a meal with Messi..."

...

Scolari and Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, who was traveling with the team, stared at Xiangnan with wide-eyed eyes. Obviously, they did not expect that Xiangnan would say this to the media.

Scolari glanced at Xiang Nan, who was talking to the media, and nodded in relief. The Brazilian is very satisfied with this disciple. He is as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, and even better. , and more importantly, Xiang Nan's private life outside the court does not have too many scandals, which makes Scolari very relieved.

*******
Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon praised Xiangnan's maturity, and now Kenyon has become more and more concerned about his original deal to bring Xiangnan from Turin to Stamford Bridge for 2350 million euros. Very satisfied! !

...

"Frank, will you play in this game? It is said that there are some problems between you and Mr. Scolari?!" The Spanish reporter who did not squeeze to Xiang Nan looked enviously at Xiang Nan. The reporters who asked various questions, of course, did not give up the opportunity around them, but this sentence was meant to sow discord.

"Whether I can play or not, I can't tell you, it's a secret." Lampard is also a proven veteran, so of course he won't be fooled, "As long as he can win the game, every player will obey the coach's arrangement, Can’t start, when the time comes, you will know!!”

...

"Andre, I heard that you and Kisty Gallagher are dating?"

A reporter wearing glasses shouted loudly.

Xiang Nan was taken aback and looked at the reporter. The news surprised him.

Obviously, the guy with glasses was very proud of being able to arouse Xiang Nan's quick response, "Andre, can you tell me how long have you been dating? Joanna..."

Xiang Nan frowned, a black line appeared on his forehead, and he ignored it.

The glasses brother continued to yell unrelentingly.

At this time, Scolari had already noticed that something was wrong with Xiang Nan. He smelled a conspiracy. The Chelsea head coach gave his assistant coach a wink...

"Okay! My players are tired now and need to rest, please give way!!" Chelsea assistant coach Wilkins also came out to make a clearance at this time.

At this time, the security personnel from the airport also came over to help Chelsea's stars escape from the reporters' siege and interception.

*******
Finally squeezed onto the bus, the bus driver quickly stepped on the gas pedal and left the crowd of reporters.

Sitting on the window seat to the south, this middle window seat has become his fixed position.

Looking at the night view of Barcelona outside the window, Xiang Nan's expression was a bit uneasy. He was still thinking about the reporter's question just now. It has been so long, how could the Spanish reporter know?
The Spanish journalists know, does it mean that the Italian journalists in England know it?
Or, just speculation and hype? ! !
Would Joanna know about it too? ! !

Xiangnan feels a little messy! !

Scolari glanced at Xiangnan, feeling that something was wrong with Xiangnan, and winked at Wilkins. The Chelsea assistant coach nodded, knowing what he should do. It seems that he needs to talk to Andre Well, before the start of such an important game, my team's offensive core can't make any mistakes. Although Chelsea's coaching staff is very relieved of Xiang Nan's professionalism, they should be prepared and prevent problems before they happen. ....
