[football] walk side by side

For a long time after the European Cup, Cyril did not go online or read any publications.

It's not that he hasn't experienced or can't bear such a heavy failure, but he doesn't want to be affected by those various reasons.He didn't need to read any newspapers and periodicals, he knew that most of the media would definitely blame Scolari for all these crimes, imagining what would happen if he replaced Cyril at that time.

But Cyril didn't care about that.

Failure is failure. All the "ifs" fantasized after the game are just ifs after all. There is nothing particularly serious about Scolari's tactical arrangements. The media just habitually excuses and then focuses their firepower on a certain person.

If Scolari really puts Cyril on the field, but the result is still a failure, the media will still criticize Cyril's lack of ability, and Scolari will make a blind substitution.

Rather than being influenced by the words of the media and fantasizing about what will happen when you play, it is better to focus on the future.

Before officially moving to London, Cyril still spent some days alone in Porto.

With the passage of time, the shadow of defeat in the European Cup finally slowly disappeared from his negative emotions.

One thing about Cyril is actually very similar to many players-after losing, he just wants to be alone.For players, winning or losing is a common matter in the military. Many players have no way to avoid failure throughout their careers. All they can do is to dispel the depression of failure as soon as possible, and then regain their spirits. , into the next round of competition.

And the depression in the middle is actually very difficult to spend with others.

Fortunately, the news about this European Cup has not been speculated by the media for too long. As the top leagues are about to start, the media of various countries will soon turn their attention to the transfer news.

And Porto, as the winner of the European Champions Cup in the 2003/2004 season, has naturally become the largest supermarket—or, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a "black shop".

Although it has been confirmed that he will go to Chelsea, Mourinho also clearly mentioned to Abrahimovic before signing the contract that he would bring the original disciples together, but "seeing the money with an eye open "Jorge has been dawdling with Chelsea on the transfer fee for a long time. After all, everyone knows that Chelsea's new boss is a big local tycoon.

As the end date of the transfer is approaching, Porto finally completed the transfer agreement with Chelsea in the penultimate days of the transfer. At the same time, the Russian local tyrants are still throwing money out as always:

5000 million euros, packing Porto's defender partners, Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho.And Cyril spent 2500 million euros on Chelsea.

2500 million euros, poaching PSV Eindhoven's talented winger Arjen Robben and striker Mattia Kežman.

3700 million euros brought Mourinho's designated Ivorian striker, Didier Drogba.

2400 million euros to introduce Ligue [-] goalkeeper Peter Cech and Benfica midfielder Thiago respectively.

Interested media have calculated the total amount of money Abrahimovic spent on buying players this summer, although other teams in the Premier League knew before the start of the transfer period that the rich Russians would definitely spend as much money as in previous years. But when the final total amount was calculated, it still surprised other Premier League teams: Abrahimovic paid as much as 1.6 million euros for this summer's transfer fee alone!

This is not counting the salary concessions he made in order to retain the other main players in the team.

Although in many cases, money can not represent anything else, but Chelsea fans are still very happy, and secretly began to look forward to the 2004/2005 season of the Premier League.At least money can, to a certain extent, represent the meaning of the club's top management, and Chelsea's boss throws money recklessly, and naturally he doesn't just want to compete for a top three in the league.

Coupled with the new coach, he is still the champion of the European Champions Cup.

This comparison is actually a bit ridiculous, but Chelsea fans can't help but compare the team lineups of Chelsea and Porto: Since Mourinho can lead a lineup like Porto to the Champions League, Chelsea's lineup is obviously better, Is there any reason why you can't do what even Porto has done?

Chelsea fans who think about this obviously forget that Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and AC Milan are not inferior in terms of team lineup, and they also ignore the luck factor in Porto's championship.

But in any case, for Chelsea fans, 2004/2005 will be an exciting season.

Some people are happy, some people are not happy.

There is only one champion. Since Chelsea is strong, there will naturally be one more opponent of the traditional Premier League team.Not every team is able to poach people randomly by asking prices like Chelsea.

Even Manchester United and Arsenal can only stare at Chelsea, who is waving money everywhere.

Under such circumstances, news reports satirizing Chelsea naturally came out of luck.

"The Russians are so naive. Does he think that money can buy victory? Just wait and see, he will soon understand that football is not a game that can only be played with money! Nouveau riche Team, want to buy a championship with money? Go ahead and dream!"

"Chelsea is probably crazy. After buying old players who are on the verge of retirement from Serie A in the past two years, their choices in the transfer market are becoming more and more incomprehensible: Who can tell me, Didier Drogba Who is it? Is it the latest world-class star? It is worth 3700 million euros? I heard that this little-known player was named by the new head coach? Was the Portuguese dazzled by the Big Ears Cup? "

"Football is noble and should not be polluted by vulgar money. When players choose to come to Chelsea just because of high wages, how good can you expect them to bring to the team? When the team is full of money, it is doomed that they will not do anything on the field-because a lot of rubles have corroded their aggressiveness!"

As the "Manchester Evening News" took the lead, more British tabloids also stood up one after another, expressing their disdain for the upstart Chelsea, contemptuous of their lack of background and tradition.

In this regard, the Chelsea fans laughed: There is no way, a poor team with only money left like my broken car can only spend money to compete with you "traditional strong teams".

As for the irony that the Chelsea fans don't care about, the Arsenal fans are of course the most angry-first of all, of course there can only be one king in a London, and second: there is no humanity in front of a team that is shrinking to the extreme. Person in charge?This must be the rhythm of pinching each other!

When Chelsea's newly signed players and coaches arrived in London, the journalists, who were not too serious about watching the excitement, gathered together again.

"Mr. Slade, hello. I heard that before the transfer, many Premier League giants have sent invitations to you. Many of them have very glorious traditions and histories. May I ask what you are thinking about?" Did you choose Chelsea because of your mentality? Because Chelsea gave you a higher annual salary than several other teams? You know, as the MVP of this season's European Champions Cup final, you should have many better choices."

Cyril didn't like to talk to reporters, but the problem in front of him was that a large group of reporters blocked his way forward, as if he would never let go unless he cooperated.He glanced down at his phone, and Jorge told him to stay where he was for a while, and he'd be there shortly with an assistant to clear the way for him.

Now that Jorge has said so, Cyril simply stopped and chose a few less difficult questions to answer:

"Why not choose another team with a more glorious tradition and history? Because I prefer to create a glorious history with my own hands."

"I don't care much about the annual salary. I choose Chelsea largely because I hope to continue to cooperate with my husband. I enjoy the time and opportunity to cooperate with him very much. I hope that I can also cooperate happily in the next stage."

The reporters couldn't block him for too long, because soon, Jorge rushed over with a big man who said he was an assistant, but was actually more like a security guard. With Jorge's help, Cyril finally broke through The huge crowd boarded the special car leading to the Harrington training base.

To Cyril's surprise, when the car drove him into the Harrington training base, he saw several fans holding a banner with his name at the gate of the training base. At that time, I was quite happy to call his name.

He also thought that Britain should have no fans of its own.

"Actually, it's not surprising." In contrast, Jorge said calmly: "Players have national boundaries, but appearances don't."

Cyril: ...is that okay?

Cyril, who has been focusing on football for a long time and completely ignored his personal charm, tilted his head and waved tentatively at the bouncing fans outside, and then responded to him with excited screams from the girls holding their faces !

"Ahhhhhhh Cyril just waved at me! He was smiling too!! Although I have seen the photos but... he is still so handsome as a real person!! The average appearance of my car can finally be improved by a bit Already!"

"Uh... I don't think it's possible to get promoted..." Unable to see the female fans laughing at themselves like this, a certain male fan couldn't bear it and interjected: "Did you forget that we also bought a record player named Drogba?" striker?"

Female fans: "..." QAQ.

Cyril, who didn't know what happened outside, was dragged to the press conference as soon as he got out of the car, and stood with other players who were also newly transferred. Cyril came a little late, and arrived at the press conference. , only to find that I haven't organized the sentences to speak.

Then, soon, Cyril realized that he might not need to say anything.

"Mr. Mourinho, don't you think you are a little too arrogant?"

The Chelsea coach who was nominated to make things difficult was expressionless: "This is not a manifestation of arrogance, but I think that since I am the Champions League champion coach, then I am the most special one (Thespecialone) here."

The author has something to say: "This is not a manifestation of arrogance, but I think that since I am the Champions League champion coach, then I am the most special one (Thespecialone) here." - Quotations from Mourinho.
