Super Coach

The draw for the third round of the Champions League qualifying rounds has always been a tasteless existence.

Not to mention that UEFA President Johansson did not come to host, and even other UEFA senior officials did not arrive. They just arranged for several department heads to come to the scene as a symbol, including of course Prati, who is in charge of the disciplinary committee. Ni.

The Frenchman has been in the limelight recently. He appeared at Collina's retirement ceremony and thanked Collina for his contribution to European football on behalf of UEFA. When he was interviewed by reporters at the time, he inevitably had to answer some questions. Topics related to Yang Cheng and Liverpool.

Very tired?

It's true, but I have to admit that many football fans like to see news like this.

Players like to watch disputes, and they like to see Platini and Yang Cheng bickering, so reporters will ask Platini every time they interview him. The Frenchman is also happy to take the opportunity to increase his popularity, so he is always as popular as he is. willing answer.

Yang Cheng is just a head coach. Even if he is a time traveler, there are actually very few things he can do in some aspects, such as talent selection between UEFA and FIFA. Therefore, even if he Platini looked very displeased, but in fact he still had no choice but to watch his opponent rise step by step.

Platini and his godfather Blatter have already laid the groundwork for the Frenchman's path to UEFA. It can even be said that the president of the French Football Association voluntarily applied to resign from the UEFA executive committee. , when Platini was asked to replace him, everyone knew clearly that Platini's goal was the president of UEFA.

This is a tacit understanding, which can also be seen as an unspoken rule in the industry. If we had not seen this, I believe the French Football Association would not have made such a sacrifice, and no one can change this, even as a UEFA player. Co-Chairman Johansson.

Today, Platini is still in the stage of accumulating fame, so he has to show off frequently.

The draw ceremony itself was not very attractive, but after the draw ceremony, Platini talked about a lot of issues in an interview with reporters, including the impact of Collina's retirement, including UEFA discipline Several of the Commission's latest initiatives and more.

Of course, what is indispensable is Platini's Zorro character who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. From the beginning, he labeled himself as speaking for the weak forces, because he knew very well that although these weak forces have little influence, they have no votes. a lot of.

After a lot of nonsense, Platini was asked about Liverpool again.

Mr. Platini, based on your previous judgment, it was difficult for Liverpool to defend the European Champions Cup.

Yang Cheng has not given any response, do you think...

Of course he didn't dare to respond! Platini said with a smile, as if he was a winner, You know, after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has ever defended the Champions League, so I dare to say, Liverpool's so-called favorites for the Champions League this season are all lies, there is absolutely no way they can win the championship!

Whether it is from the perspective of industry leaders or certain forces, it is a very terrible thing for the same team to win any event consecutively and is not conducive to competition and operation.

Therefore, after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has ever successfully defended the title. Whether it is really fierce competition or other aspects, at least no team has ever defended the title. This is a fact!

But many players sneered at your words! the reporter said with a smile.

Several reporters around him suddenly laughed, because in many battles with Yang Cheng, Platini gave people the impression of a big mouth, a bit like some clown who specializes in grabbing big mouths to win attention. , but he himself enjoyed it.

They don't believe what I said. That's because they are too blind and cannot see the situation clearly. With the competitiveness of today's Champions League, if any team wants to win the championship for two consecutive seasons, the difficulty is as high as the sky, let alone other things. Team, Barcelona in La Liga alone is enough to defeat Liverpool.

Speaking of Barcelona, ​​reporters suddenly had another topic.

Do you think Barcelona can beat Liverpool? the reporter asked.

Yes! Platini nodded, I think Barcelona is very strong this year, and its overall strength has been significantly improved compared to last season, especially the frontcourt of Giuly, Eto'o and Ronaldinho. The combination allows us to see the most gorgeous offensive coordination in the world, coupled with young players such as Messi and Iniesta, Barcelona is definitely the most interesting team in Europe this season.

One of the most interesting reasons why football is interesting, and why no one gets tired of playing the same games every year, is that every season is a new beginning.

Are you optimistic about Barcelona? the reporter asked.

Yes! Platini replied affirmatively, I like Barcelona football very much and I hope to become a Barcelona player.

All the reporters immediately laughed.

What if Liverpool really succeeds in defending their title? an English reporter asked unhappily.

Domestically, he may not be a Liverpool player, but on the European continent, he represents the interests of the English team.

Then I'll eat the ball! Platini replied with a smile.

The scene burst into laughter.

It must be admitted that the French are really good at eloquence, especially the intonation and facial expressions when he speaks. When combined, they are really very charming. This is a very important reason why he has achieved the status he has today.

And he is not stupid, he knows very well what effect these words will bring.

…………

Barcelona's trip to the Far East was actually not successful. Without Saviola, Riquelme and Albertini, the only top stars in Barcelona's current team are probably Ronaldinho and Eto'o. As for Xavi, Iniesta and others, they are not up to par for the time being.

In other parts of Asia, they can still earn a lot of attention and support, but in China, they are treated more with boos and ridicules, because everyone knows that Barcelona and Yang Cheng are two sides who will fight to the death. Great enemy.

Therefore, outside Barcelona's training ground, many domestic players of the Knights of the Holy Ghost raised the banner to humiliate Barcelona, ​​and even almost had a fight with Barcelona players; inside the Shenzhen Stadium, the home team was surprised to find that they had received such an unprecedented victory. There are many fans supporting me, and some people even come from the capital, Shanghai and other cities. Are their fans too enthusiastic?

Obviously not, because these goals are all aimed at Barcelona.

We want those bastards in Barcelona to know that this is Caesar's home court. If they want to make money, stay away!

Give Barcelona an unforgettable nightmare in the Far East!

Although we can't go abroad, we still have to use our own way to support Yang Cheng and kill Barcelona!

On the Internet and on the forum of the Knights of the Holy Spirit, many domestic football movements are calling.

Barcelona find it difficult to understand this behavior of the Chinese players from top to bottom, but it is obvious that they all feel hostility because they are the mortal enemies of Yang Cheng, and the latter is the darling of the domestic players.

However, the trip to the Far East was not completely fruitless. At least Barcelona signed two crucial contracts and an important transfer during the trip to the Far East.

We are very happy because both Rijkaard and Ronaldinho have shown their loyalty to the team. We have renewed a four-year contract with Rijkaard and he will lead the team until Year 2009.

After the warm-up match, La Bōrta held a press conference to announce these two crucial contract extensions.

Rijkaard's contract is about to expire, and this extension is more of a recognition of him, because he brought Barcelona the first championship trophy in six years, and the Barcelona he coached showed enough potential. Let people have higher expectations for him.

As for Ronaldinho, he was more tempted by other teams. He was clamoring for a salary increase before, but this time Barcelona fulfilled his wish, cut off the back and forth between him and Milan, and made him feel at ease. Stay on the team and play.

I had a series of in-depth conversations with Frank, and I conveyed to him the appreciation from Platini. Laborta said with a smile, and this appreciation naturally came from Platini on the last day of July. What Ni said at the lottery ceremony.

Frank is proud of this, and he told me that he is also very confident, because everything in the team is moving in a good direction, the team is becoming more and more harmonious, and the overall strength of the players is constantly improving, especially Ines. The maturity of young players such as Ta and Motta, coupled with the emergence of Messi, Pedro, Busquets and other young players in the second team, all these give us confidence in the future.

La Bōrta smiled and said confidently: After an absence of 6 years, we won our first championship trophy again, and we won the league championship after defeating Real Madrid. This is great for us. The meaning is extraordinary, but both Frank and I feel that it is far from enough.

In the new season, the team's goals will be higher than at any time in the past few years. We hope to have the opportunity to win the European Champions League that has been 13 years away from us.

This time, La Borta did not dare to mention the number of times he has won the Champions League. This is also a taboo for Barcelona fans, because Yang Cheng made a three sign at the Camp Nou and mocked Barcelona for winning one. , and he won three, which was regarded as a great shame by Barcelona fans.

Now, Yang Cheng's Champions League has increased to 4, but Barcelona still failed to win it. He must be a little depressed.

In order to achieve this goal, we have introduced Gabriel Milito from Zaragoza for a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros. This Argentine central defender will greatly strengthen our defense. He is coming to Asia to follow the ball. On the way to join the team, we believe that with his joining, the overall strength of the team will be greatly improved.

This transfer also shows the club's ambition. We hope to make a big difference in the European competition in the new season. At the same time, it also refutes some people's remarks that Barcelona is short of money!

…………

…………

A day later, when Yang Cheng saw what Laborta said on TV, he couldn't help but be happy.

Why didn't he just name you? Why beat around the bush? Paul Bayer looked puzzled.

Everyone suddenly laughed together again.

But no one expected that before the war in Europe was ignited, the war of words had already begun.

I won't respond to this kind of provocation. I don't have that much time! Yang Cheng pointed at the TV and said dismissively.

He is the winner now and has to show off, right?

Even if Platini said in an interview with reporters that if Liverpool wins the championship again, he will eat the ball. Yang Cheng did not accept the interview, but responded directly on Weibo, You better Go and ask if there are footballs made of chocolate, otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to eat rubber.

What’s funny is that Adidas’ official Weibo responded directly to Yang Cheng, “There are footballs made of chocolate, but they can only be eaten, not played. If you want them, you can pre-order them. I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate with you, Caesar!

Everyone knows that Yang Cheng's current sponsor is Reebok, just like Liverpool. Adidas has long wanted to cooperate with Yang Cheng, but they have never been able to find an opportunity. This time they seized the opportunity and followed suit.

But Yang Cheng didn't expect that Labolta would also jump out.

Coupled with the fact that Mourinho made it impossible for Liverpool to win the championship yesterday, it seems that this season is destined to be uneventful.

Gabriel Milito's performance in Zaragoza is really strong. If Barcelona gets him, the strength of the defense will definitely improve. Coupled with their frontcourt attack power, it will become more and more difficult to deal with! Benitez said with a frown.

He always likes to portray himself as an ascetic with great hatred and deep suffering.

Everyone agreed on this, but Yang Cheng thought more, because he found that the history he was familiar with became more and more, and even deviated from the original trajectory.

For example, Valencia have been touting Mohamed Sissoko but have yet to find a buyer, but Zaragoza refuse to accept their installment payment because they only want cash, plus Gabriel Milito The transfer received a large sum of money, so Zaragoza finally rejected Valencia's transfer application and announced that Villa would stay on the team.

This is just part of it. In addition, Robinho went to Chelsea, Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy went to Inter Milan, etc. This series has triggered a series of chain reactions, just like the butterfly effect, which has brought great changes to European football. It has brought about a lot of changes, and one of the most obvious changes comes from Barcelona.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Barcelona's second-team rookies who were around 17 or 18 years old were not famous at all. That is to say, Messi was the only one who came to the fore, and other players such as Pedro and Busquets were still relatively unknown. Not famous.

But the problem is, with Deco staying at Inter Milan, and with Davis and Larsson switching to Liverpool, Barcelona's midfield problem is still very big. Rijkaard has been trying to recruit some second-tier players since last season. The young player from the team came up as a substitute.

Pedro, Messi, Busquets and other young players have all received some opportunities. Although their performances are not eye-catching, at least they have shown their potential and the strength of Barcelona's youth training camp.

As for Iniesta, he has become one of Barcelona's dual cores. After the midfield duo formed by him and Xavi last season, their performance has become more and more outstanding. Robben and others were selected as the top ten most promising stars by Gazzetta dello Sport.

Yang Cheng even had a feeling that looking at the performance of Rijkaard's second dream team, he even felt that the Barcelona team in his previous life seemed to be coming faster, especially after watching Barcelona's performance at Anfield last season. After every game, his feeling became more obvious.

With the pressure in the frontcourt appearing, can the ball possession rate in the backcourt be far behind?

Yang Cheng is looking forward to the arrival of that Barcelona team, because he also wants to see for himself how strong the Barcelona team in his previous life was that scared countless wealthy teams.

He has blurred many details and only remembers the general outline, so he cannot say for sure whether he can beat Barcelona, ​​but he still has a certain coping strategy, but he needs games and practice to test the effect.

Talking on paper will never be of much use, otherwise, Zhao Kuo would not have lost the Battle of Changping.

…………

…………

Although he was provoked by Platini and Laborta, Yang Cheng quickly left these people behind because he had a more important game, which was the Community Shield Cup.

Although this cup match is of a warm-up nature, it depends on who the opponent is.

In the contest between Liverpool and Chelsea, the Red Army has always had the upper hand. Although the Premier League championship was taken away by Chelsea last season, Liverpool only made Chelsea happy for a few days because they quickly won the fifth Champions League in the club's history. , focusing the limelight on himself again.

This is also what makes Chelsea and Mourinho most unhappy.

This season, with the joining of players such as Del Horno and Las Diarra, plus Robinho during the winter break last season, theoretically, the current Chelsea team is really It can be said to be impeccable.

The only weak one should be their forward. Good Johnson is a player who is organized and ball-playing. He is a good player in tandem, but his scoring ability is relatively average. Originally, Chelsea paid a sky-high price to get Eto'o. But he was rejected by Barcelona, ​​and later the introduction of Trezeguet from Juventus was unfavorable, and the problems on the front line were forced to continue.

It is said that Kenyon is currently heading to Madrid. This time the player he is interested in is Atletico Madrid's golden boy Torres, but it is undoubtedly not an easy task to get Atletico Madrid to let go of its star player.

Another target of Chelsea is Shevchenko of Milan, and the second choice forward is Anelka who plays for Fenerbahce.

Judging from the types of the two strikers Mourinho is interested in, they both prove one thing. His idea is the same as Yang Cheng's, to increase the speed of the frontcourt and use the fast to beat the slow, because whether it is Torres or Anel Ka, they are all forwards who are very capable of taking the ball and attacking head-on.

It is conceivable that once one of these two strikers joins, Chelsea's frontcourt advancement will become faster.

But until then, he must continue to grind slowly with Liverpool.

At least, before the Community Shield, neither Torres, Shevchenko, nor Anelka can come to the team. ! .
