Chapter 136 Three consecutive victories!Besieged by the Mafia in Chinatown!
Regarding Mourinho's inability to command the next two league games, the local fans and media in Rome gave polarized evaluations.
His loyal fans, as in the past, firmly support their idols, believing that the Serie A organizing committee is deliberately suppressing Roma and preserving the three giants.
Other fans and the media said that Mourinho's paranoid and unruly character has always been a double-edged sword on his coaching journey.
His personality has brought unprecedented attention and traffic to Rome, and at the same time brought many controversies and doubts.
Fortunately, there are complete communication equipment and means now, even sitting in the stands, it will not affect Mourinho's on-site command.
During the two days of training, Mourinho deliberately talked and laughed, relaxed the atmosphere, and prevented the players from being under pressure because of his suspension.
In the current standings, Naples, which beat Sampdoria 0-4 in the last away game, has won six consecutive victories, showing a very hot state, and continues to top the list with 18 points;
AC Milan defeated Venice 2-0 at home, still maintaining a gap of 2 points from the top of the list;
佛罗伦萨主场1-3输给了国际米兰，国际米兰积14分，排在第3；佛罗伦萨积12分，排在第5；
Roma currently ranks fourth with 13 points;
Juventus defeated Spezia 2-3 away and rose to 8th with 10 points;
Roma's next opponent, Empoli, defeated Cagliari 0-2 in the last away game, ranking 9th with 8 points.
In view of the relatively sufficient training, Mourinho confirmed the starting list for the next game in advance.
In order to allow the offensive players to play more and let the two full-backs who have not started for several consecutive games to exercise again, he rearranged the 4231 formation in this game.
Mancini and Smalling partnered as central defenders, and Ibanez, who has been playing almost every game since the beginning of the season, took turns;
The two full-backs Vigna and Karlsdorp returned to the starting lineup, especially Karlsdorp, who knew that his performance in this game would affect his career later;
The defensive midfielders are still Chen Xiaoliang and Wellertu, but in the substitute lineup, Mourinho selected the 19-year-old Gambian teenager Darbo for the youth team.
In order to change his life more than five years ago, Dalbo smuggled across the ocean from Gambia to Italy. He was discovered by scouts and entered the Rome youth training team.
As a black player, physical fitness is naturally the biggest advantage, but golf quotient and skills still need to be exercised.
He is currently worth 200 million euros.
Mourinho transferred him to the first team, which also shows the lack of available candidates for the current team.
Zaniolo returned to the starting lineup and served as the attacking midfielder with Mkhitaryan.
Captain Manuel Pellegrini was suspended for receiving a red card against Udinese and was unable to enter the squad this round.
The forward line is the combination of Abraham and Sesco, which is focused on drills.
Compared with Rome's starting lineup worth 2.5 million euros, Empoli's starting price is only a pitiful 6000 million euros... The average age of 23.8 years old is also 3 years younger than Roma.
Empoli's coach Andreazzoli is also an old acquaintance for Roma. He joined Roma in 2005 as a member of the coaching staff and did not leave until June 2017. In 6, he also served as 2013 interim head coach.
For Chen Xiaoliang, this game has new expectations.
In the last European Cup against Waiters, he completed three missions and received a basic reward of 5 skill points. In addition to Waiters' team reputation of 6100, he can get 4000 times the bonus when the base number is 1.5. The rewards, plus the BUFF that doubled the rewards of the European War this season, is a total of 3 times the rewards, and finally gained 15 skill points.
Skill value 96 → 111!
at last!
Since playing the first cup game in Glasgow in February, I have saved up for 2 months, and I can finally unlock skills with points!
Chen Xiaoliang chose [good at personal defense] without hesitation!
Skill value 111→11
It's the same scene again!A golden lightning passed through his body!
In an instant, just like the last time you unlocked [Good at Downside Tackle], many legendary stars appeared!
But this time it was replaced by Cannavaro, Stam, Makelele, Yaya Toure, Ashley Cole and others, and their movements flooded into Chen Xiaoliang's mind like phantoms!
All kinds of close-fitting and pressing skills make the opponent unable to start up, catch the ball, and make various actions comfortably...
and many more!
Why Ashley Cole? !
Hemp egg!
In addition, these three days of training plus personal extra training have saved another 15 hours of training value.
Training value 14 → 29
He turned his marking up a bit more.

October 2021, 10 at 4:18, Stadio Olimpico in Rome!
Pellegrini was suspended, Mancini, wearing the captain's armband, led the team into the field, and Chen Xiaoliang was still at the end!
On the bench, Joao was still sitting there holding a pad, but Mourinho was nowhere beside him!
Chen Xiaoliang looked up to the stands, and saw Mourinho sitting at the front of the nearest row of stands, with Pinto, the club's sports director, and two club security personnel accompanying them.
The area they are in is the season ticket area for club insiders and VIP fans.
But despite this, a large circle of fans around him are still holding up their mobile phones and staring at him to take pictures and videos!
Surrounded by them, Mourinho looks like a specimen in a museum...
With a dark face, but helpless...
I can only bear the sins of myself in silence...
"Beep!"
The referee whistles!Game start!
Abraham has also become superstitious since he kicked off against Waiters and scored two goals. Today, he continued to kick off with his left foot against his left foot...
After the opening, on the contrary, the visiting team took the lead.
Empoli's coach Andrea Zoli came prepared. He has been in Rome for 12 years and he is very concerned about the current situation of Rome. He naturally knows that after Rome bought Chen Xiaoliang, the frontal defense ability is very terrifying, so this In this field, his offense hits two sides!
Rome's weakest two wings!
In the 5th minute, Scottish midfielder Liam Henderson used his teammates to attract defensive pressure, dribbled the ball and made a pass from the bottom. He came on loan from Inter Milan and was worth 2000 million euros. Pinamonti, who is worth a third of the team's value, nodded the ball in front and the ball was slightly above the crossbar.
Immediately after Patricio kicked off and counterattacked, Karlsdorp, who vowed to perform well in this game, gave a kick pass. Zaniolo took advantage of the situation and inserted at high speed, came to the penalty area and sent Abraham an inverted triangle. In the cross, Abraham's shot hit Empoli captain Romagnoli and popped out of the bottom line.
The Romagnoli's full name is Simone Romagnoli, which has the same surname as AC Milan's central defender Alessio Romagnoli, but there is no blood relationship.
In the 10th minute, after the attack from the right, it was the turn of the left. Polish midfielder Zurkowski made a pass from the left, and Pinamonti made another point forward, leaving Smalling behind again. This time it was Rubbed the outside instep of his right foot and hit the side net.
Mourinho in the stands had a black line on his face. As soon as he played, the two wingers were blown out. In 10 minutes, the opponent kicked out two threatening attacks. It was still the same routine.
So he picked up his mobile phone and typed it in. After receiving it on the PAD, Joao immediately got up to signal the players on the field, and Plan B started.
In fact, the so-called Plan B is not complicated. It is to let Weiletu support the defense on the left and Mkhitaryan to support the defense on the right, which is equivalent to adding another defense in front of the full-back.
As for the front of the middle road, it was all handed over to Chen Xiaoliang.
In the 15th minute, after Zaniolo's through ball was cut off, Empoli's midfielder Rich directly passed the ball to the retreating Pinamonti.
Facing the Italian striker who is not in the rotation at Inter Milan and has relatively average abilities in all aspects, Chen Xiaoliang did not choose to block the tackle immediately, but posted it.
After unlocking the skill, he had to use it first.
Pinamonti controlled the ball and tried to get rid of Chen Xiaoliang, but he was not superior in speed, strength, and explosiveness. The next time I staggered, I was about to lose my balance and fall.
Pinamonti didn't know what to do, he swung his foot, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't stretch his leg to block it.
Seeing the ball flying straight into the sky like a meteor, Patricio didn't even look up for fear of twisting his neck.
Although Weiletu and Mkhitaryan's supplementary defense stabilized the wing, it also slowed down Rome's attack.
For the next ten minutes, the two sides kept quarreling back and forth.
Empoli, who was unable to break through by Rome's bilateral defense, had to make a fuss about the open area in the middle, and Pinamonti kept retreating to catch the ball and try to organize the attack.
But every time he dribbles the ball forward and wants to advance the offense, Chen Xiaoliang will come up to defend him closely.
Speaking of which, this kind of defensive action is not big, but it is extremely uncomfortable. It seems that the rhythm of every step of the feet has been disrupted.
Mourinho in the stands didn't understand why Chen Xiaoliang's defensive style changed today?In the past, they rushed over at high speed, and when they saw the opportunity, they just slid with a shovel.
If the opponent dodges, the ball will be shoveled, and if the opponent is aggressive, they will be shoveled together.
What's the matter today?Is it uncomfortable?
He immediately sent a text message to Joao: I will find an opportunity to ask Chen on the sidelines later if he is feeling well.
Joao replied quickly: already asked, he said he wanted to try a new defensive method.
Depend on!This kid!
Mourinho immediately relaxed, feeling that the weight on his body was much lighter.
In his eyes, Chen Xiaoliang is the heart that must not be injured. He has already spent a lot of thought on the two sides. Once Chen Xiaoliang is injured, the defense in the middle will also collapse.
At that time, not to mention playing the three giants and Naples who have gone crazy this season, even Lazio, Atlanta, and Fiorentina may not be able to win.
Pinto was constantly communicating with the club's transfer team on his mobile phone.
Boss Dan Friedkin has clearly emphasized more than once in executive meetings that all of Mourinho's signing requirements must be met within the controllable scope of the club, including the space for dealing with existing personnel in exchange for transfer fees and salaries .
But the summer’s big purchases have brought the club into the limits of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Act. Although Riise introduced Adidas and signed a sky-high jersey sponsorship agreement, these will not take effect until next year. , and the fee is still paid in installments and part of it has to be settled according to the sales of jerseys.
Pinto looked at the letter sent on the phone and said: "Jose, we have confirmed that Manchester United is willing to consider renting Wan Bissaka outside the winter window, but they must pay the player's full salary, and there cannot be a buyout clause."
Mourinho frowned: "Just tell me if you can meet the terms."
Pinto shook his head, it was very noisy, the fans kept shouting, he could only say loudly: "Manchester United actually offered him a weekly salary of 10.5 pounds, if we rent him for half a year, the salary alone will have to pay for him Almost 350 million euros!"
"Can you sell this guy for some money?" Mourinho raised his hand and pointed to Karlsdorp.
"Winter window sellers can't sell at a good price. If we sell it everywhere, people will think that we are in a hurry to sell it." Pinto shook his head, a little helpless.
Mourinho knows he's right, when he was at Manchester United, the transfer team there showed him what it means to habitually buy high and sell low...
"See if there's any brats you can pick up, like Cesko, it's definitely a perfect deal.
It doesn't matter if the new right back can't attack, it doesn't matter if he can't cross, as long as he can defend!Defense! "
Pinto: "Our scouting team, including the externally entrusted scouting system, is working hard. Jose, you have more experience than me. You know that there is no need to rush this matter."
Yes, Mourinho also knows that there is no rush, but the schedule does not wait for him.
On the field, the referee's whistle and a commotion interrupted both of their thoughts.
It turned out that during a scramble just now, Chen Xiaoliang’s defense made Pinamonti twist his knee. He ran a few steps, but felt unable to hold on and sat on the ground. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoliang, who had won the ball, kicked the ball out of bounds .
Pinamonti was extremely depressed and sat on the ground shaking his head.
Empoli's team doctor checked and said it seemed like a muscle strain, and applied for a stretcher to carry him out of the field.
Empoli coach Andrea Zoli had to replace Pinamonti with Mancuso.
Ever since, the object of Chen Xiaoliang's "posting" tonight has become the 30-year-old substitute striker.
If Pinamonti is an average striker who is okay in everything and not outstanding in everything, then Mancuso is his weakened version.
It was so weak that Chen Xiaoliang felt that it would not be fun to post him... It would be more fun to shovel him.
Empoli, who had lost his sharpest fang, had no weapons that could pierce Roman armor even if he launched a flank attack, and soon became passive.
In the 35th minute, Zaniolo had another iconic stumble, and after cutting in from the right, he kicked blindly, which was unsurprisingly high.
Cesco, who rushed from the midfield and ran all the way to support Zaniolo, didn't say anything, and walked back without saying a word, but Abraham couldn't help shouting: "Pass the ball, I ran out of space." !
As usual, Zaniolo doesn't know whether he really didn't hear it or pretended he didn't hear it, anyway, he just didn't hear it.
"How much can he sell now? In the next winter window." Mourinho pointed to Zaniolo and asked.
Pinto was a little surprised: "Jose, are you serious?"
Mourinho: "I'm just asking you."
Pinto: "His current valuation is about 3300 million euros, and his weekly salary is 9 euros. If the winter window is sold, it can help us recover about 3500 million euros in funds this season."
Mourinho: "That's it? He's only 21 years old! You can try to sell to that bastard Conte, he will like Italians."
"Jose, I will try, but Zaniolo has broken the cruciate ligaments of both legs, but he is still a player who is good at speed and dribbling. Few teams dare to play with the rhythm and confrontation in the Premier League." Buying such a young man is not just about price."
Mourinho reluctantly admitted that Pinto was right.
If it were him himself, if he was still coaching in the Premier League, he would not spend 3000 million pounds to buy a player who might have to retire if he broke his cruciate ligament again.
Mourinho held his breath for a long time before saying, "Are you familiar with Riise?"
Pinto: "You mean Chen's manager?"
Mourinho: "Yes."
Pinto: "It's okay, I met him twice about the jersey and Cesco."
Mourinho: "Ask him, I don't even know why he suddenly made up his mind to push Cesco's deal, but maybe he has a way."
Pinto: "Okay, I will, Jose, don't worry, I will try all the methods that can be tried."
Back on the court, in the 38th minute, Empoli launched a counterattack. Mancuso, who came off the bench, took a long shot from Chen Xiaoliang, but instead of an anti-aircraft gun like Pinamonti, he rolled limply. To Patricio.
Repeated tests made Chen Xiaoliang understand that [good at personal defense] this skill can be combined with his own stealing, marking and physical attributes, by forcing but not grabbing, disrupting the opponent's rhythm, interfering with the opponent's pace, and destroying the opponent's balance , all in all, it is to prevent the person being defended from exerting his full strength.
Although not as direct as steals and tackles, it may be more useful than direct steals when used on some players, such as Kane, who has good ball control, vision, and passing, but is extraordinary and fast, and has a strong physique. on Vlahovic.
But it may not be easy to use when encountering a fast forward. Once it is pasted and broken, it will immediately become a big colander.
In the 41st minute, Chen Xiaoliang no longer stuck to the defense, but directly cut off the pass to Mancuso, and did not look for a chance to pass from the side. He directly swung his kick and passed it to Cesco in front.
The tacit understanding value is dark green, the technical attribute is increased by 3, and the pass is also 13. When the opening is large and the opponent is weak, the ball should be shot or the ball should be shot.
He never forgot the contents of the notebook Mourinho gave him.
Before the game, according to the age and ability of the two center forwards, Empoli coach Andrea Zoli asked his young 20-year-old central defender Mattia Vitti to defend the equally young Cesco.
Let the experienced Simeone Romagnoli guard Abraham.
But being close in age doesn't mean being close in ability!
Facing the Slovenian striker's back with the ball, Mattia Vitti has nothing to do!
Sesco jumped up to head the ball a little, unloaded the ball, protected the ball and turned around to break through head-on!
Mattia Vitti didn't dare to go up and follow him back!
Abraham stepped forward in an instant, and Simone Romagnoli chased after him!
Cesko tricked Mattia Vitti away, fake shot real pass!
A diagonal pass is not in the direction of Abraham's running position!
It's Zaniolo!
The number 22 of the Roma team finally seized the opportunity and faced the goalkeeper's explosive shot!
1 is better than 0!
The first half is coming to an end, and the score has finally been rewritten!
Mourinho and Pinto congratulated with high-fives, but he was thinking in his heart, if Zaniolo is worth 3300 million euros, then Cesco should be worth 5000 million euros!
Not to mention the performance on the court and the future potential, the two intact cruciate ligaments are worth the difference of 1700 million euros!
The midfielder did not make any adjustments. Mourinho just re-emphasized the running position in the offense with a few offensive players, and also hinted to Zaniolo not to always do it alone.
Not long after the start of the second half, when Abraham pressed his opponent's midfielder Richie in the center circle, Richie made a mistake in his haste. In a hurry, the return pass was weak, and he was snatched by Abraham who sprinted with his legs!
The England striker is eager to score consecutive goals and defend his main position!
Taking the ball with his back and fighting for the top of the penalty area are not his strong points, but he is still very confident in dribbling breakthroughs and fighting for speed!
Abraham burst into a frenzy in the middle, as if Zaniolo had possessed him!
But this opportunity was snatched by himself, and there were no other teammates around him.
Coming near the penalty line, Simone Romagnoli came and double-teamed him with Mattia Vitti!
Abraham just took a step into the penalty area and shot directly!
The ball is fast!Empoli's 24-year-old goalkeeper Vicario struggled to save!
The ball was thrown!
But the rebounded ball was followed by Mkhitaryan who followed up at high speed and made a supplementary shot!
2 is better than 0!
Despite being in the stands, Mourinho stood up and applauded!
The surrounding fans took out their mobile phones again and pointed at him one after another!
It was like seeing a panda standing up suddenly after lying motionless for a long time in the zoo!
For a moment, it seemed that he was the focus of the stadium!
He was very satisfied, because this goal was completely won by two people fighting for it!
But Abraham was very depressed. The opportunities he created didn't even get an assist in the end...
But there is still time!
Roma, who led by two goals, completely relaxed their mentality. Their ball possession rate reached a rare 64%, and their pass success rate was 91%, which was far ahead of Empoli's 83%.
Anyone who knows Mourinho knows that this kind of possession rate should not appear in his team.
Chen Xiaoliang once again entered the state of having nothing to do.
Two goals behind, the main center was injured, Empoli was like a tiger pulling out its teeth, and the sick cat didn't show its power, completely lost its spirit.
Chen Xiaoliang was in the backcourt to help out, split the ball, and occasionally went to the side to make a cross.
However, because Wei Letu moved to the left to help the side defend, Chen Xiaoliang was the only one in front of the center, so the number of times he pulled side crosses in this game was very small.
In the 61st minute, Abraham received a header from Sesco in the penalty area and shot a low shot from a small angle, which was saved by Vicario!
In the 66th minute, Roma counterattacked quickly. Chen Xiaoliang saw that Abraham was desperately pressing in the frontcourt. He really wanted to score a goal and was crazy. He decided to help him, so he also plugged in and received a pass from Mkhitaryan!
It is still the 45-degree cross that he has practiced countless times in training!
Abraham advanced forward at high speed and hit the ball with perfect precision!
Vicario didn't respond!
It's a pity that it missed the right column again!
Abraham covered his face with his hands, unbelievable. It took a while before he remembered to give Chen Xiaoliang a thumbs up.
In the 71st minute, Mourinho sent a text message to Joao to make a remote substitution.
Enter Krystante, replace Mkhitaryan;
Enter Darbo, replace Chen Xiaoliang;
Maraiol enters, substituting Abraham;
Carafioli comes on, substituting Viña.
Chen Xiaoliang looked at Abraham, who was a little frustrated, and went to encourage him: "Next time, I will pass on some accurate ones to you, and I will definitely get in."
When Tie Hanhan heard this sentence, his eyes immediately lit up: "It's agreed, don't lie, you waited for a long time today, and you just spread the word."
"I have a way, as long as you can do it, I will guarantee you ten or eight passes every game."
"What can I do?! Say it!"
"You go to the coach and say, you play the midfielder, make sure you don't lose the ball, I will play the forward, and then I promise to stay on the wing all the time, as long as you get in, I will pass to you, how about it?"
In Abraham's dark face, the two big eyes rolled around several times, and when he realized it, Chen Xiaoliang was already sitting behind Joao, looking at him with a smirk.
There was no change in the last 20 minutes, and the two sides maintained the score until the end.
Darbo, who made his debut in the first-team game for the first time, was a little nervous, but he was full of energy, and his stealing ability was quite satisfactory. In addition, he was full of energy as a substitute, which helped the team to ensure that the goal was not lost.
Regardless of whether it is a tight schedule or not, after all, in this wave of three games, the team won three consecutive victories.
Next, some of them need to participate in the national team competition, and the rest will have a full twelve days of training and adjustment, and then go to Turin to challenge the Serie A overlord Juventus.
Chen Xiaoliang who returned home received the reward first.
Today's best player was won by veteran Mkhitaryan, but Chen Xiaoliang felt that he deserved it.
The veteran doesn't talk much in the team. It seems that because of some past experiences, he has always had some grievances with Mourinho, but his performance is very professional, and he does not have emotions in everything. Mourinho treats him very well. The tactical requirements are also fully fulfilled.
Especially this season's wing problems, he often needs to act as a wing back and undertake a lot of defensive tasks, and he has no complaints.
Chen Xiaoliang is also happy to have such a role model of professional players in his locker room social circle.
Except for the best of the game and the unfinished goal assist, he has completed the other four regular tasks, and he has obtained a total of 3 hours of training and 2 physical recovery cards.
Training value 9→12, stamina recovery card 5→7
The game was too easy, he didn't even use the physical strength recovery card. Looking at the number of 7 cards, the next 12 days is bound to be a lot of training.
Just as a person was lying on the bed, strapped on a device to check his physical condition, the phone rang, it was a text message, and it rang twice.
Helena's unread text: Just saw your game!It's so easy today!Erica's injury is recovering smoothly. She is planning to visit you in Rome with me. The weather in your place is good. Riise said that you can ask the team doctor in Rome to help her diagnose and treat her. What do you think?
When Chen Xiaoliang was happy and excited, he almost jumped out of bed!
what do i thinkMust be good!Be sure and sure!
God!O earth!The days of the monk are finally coming to an end!
The days of reaching out for clothes and opening your mouth for food are coming back again!
And it's double happiness!
He quickly raised his phone and typed: OK!Come quickly!
Just about to hit send...
wrong!and many more!
While Chen Xiaoliang was excited, he saw Helena's text message again...
"Rise said that you can ask the Roma team doctor to help him diagnose and treat him"
Ok? ? ?
not good!
Hemp egg!
These two batches of Riise betrayed me? !
Could it be... Helena knew all about it?
He took another look at the question mark at the end of Helena's text message...
No, no, this is not a sub-question, this is a proposition!
He deleted the input and re-entered: "Erica's matter is up to you, I just hope you come back soon"
Huh... almost... let's go through this level first...
Look at another one.
Steven Gerrard's unread text message: Boy, after the national team game, I will go to Birmingham to start my Premier League coaching career. The Rangers guys don't know yet. Let me tell you first, keep it secret!
PS Lily will go to Rome at the end of the month, and I will show her around when I have time.
When Chen Xiaoliang saw the first half, he yelled: Damn it! ! !The boss is awesome! ! !
When I watched the second half, it became: Uh...
He opened the map and looked at it.
There are two teams in Birmingham, Birmingham and Aston Villa. If you count the entire Birmingham region, West Bromwich Albion and West Brom in the northwest, and Wolverhampton and Wolves in the northwest. , there is also a Coventry in the southeast.
But only Aston Villa and Wolves are in the Premier League.
The Portuguese coach of the Wolves, Bruno Lager, just took office this season. The Wolves are currently ranked ninth in the Premier League and there is no risk of dismissal.
Then there is only Aston Villa, which is ranked 15th and is on the verge of the relegation zone!
It is not an easy journey to turn the tide and help the building to fall, from the Scottish Premiership champion team to the lower reaches of the Premier League.
But this incident still made Chen Xiaoliang very happy!
He called Riise and David, and made an appointment with them to have a meal in the city tomorrow!
The next day is a routine post-match rest day.
During the day, Chen Xiaoliang practiced alone at home for 5 hours in the morning and afternoon, and David came to pick him up and Riise on time in the evening.
The three of them went to Piazza Vittorio in Rome.
It is a gathering area for Red Country people in Rome, and there are various Red Country shops and restaurants. Although it is not an officially recognized Chinatown like Milan Chinatown, it is still a place that Red Country people will definitely visit when they come to Rome.
The three of them sat down at the Hongguo restaurant where there were relatively few people. This was also to make it easier for Chen Xiaoliang, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, not to be recognized by the public and cause trouble.
However, as soon as he sat down, Portman called him.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to answer at first, but Portman kept dialing.
"Hello? Is there something wrong?"
"Someone is going to fuck you!" Portman's tone was very urgent!
"What? Fuck me? A man or a woman?" Chen Xiaoliang didn't take it seriously. He always felt that the female reporter was very deep, so he kept avoiding her.
Portman was dumbfounded by his question: "Male and female? Is there any difference?"
Chen Xiaoliang half-jokingly said: "Yes, there is a big difference..."
At this moment, he raised his head and glanced out the window. Two black cars slammed to a stop on the side of the road one after another, and six or seven people got out wearing black suits and the top three buttons of their shirts were undone.
They glanced at the restaurant, and one of them met the gaze behind Chen Xiaoliang's sunglasses.
Chen Xiaoliang now knew that Portman was not joking: "Damn! Who is going to fuck me?"
Portman: "Mafia! Hurry up..."
Chen Xiaoliang hung up the phone because those people had already walked into the restaurant and were coming towards him.
Thanks to the club director [McDull has Ningbao] for sponsoring!
Yesterday I didn't have a monthly pass, it was a bit sad and I had to keep working hard!

Regarding Mourinho's inability to command the next two league games, the local fans and media in Rome gave polarized evaluations.
His loyal fans, as in the past, firmly support their idols, believing that the Serie A organizing committee is deliberately suppressing Roma and preserving the three giants.
Other fans and the media said that Mourinho's paranoid and unruly character has always been a double-edged sword on his coaching journey.
His personality has brought unprecedented attention and traffic to Rome, and at the same time brought many controversies and doubts.
Fortunately, there are complete communication equipment and means now, even sitting in the stands, it will not affect Mourinho's on-site command.
During the two days of training, Mourinho deliberately talked and laughed, relaxed the atmosphere, and prevented the players from being under pressure because of his suspension.
In the current standings, Naples, which beat Sampdoria 0-4 in the last away game, has won six consecutive victories, showing a very hot state, and continues to top the list with 18 points;
AC Milan defeated Venice 2-0 at home, still maintaining a gap of 2 points from the top of the list;
佛罗伦萨主场1-3输给了国际米兰，国际米兰积14分，排在第3；佛罗伦萨积12分，排在第5；
Roma currently ranks fourth with 13 points;
Juventus defeated Spezia 2-3 away and rose to 8th with 10 points;
Roma's next opponent, Empoli, defeated Cagliari 0-2 in the last away game, ranking 9th with 8 points.
In view of the relatively sufficient training, Mourinho confirmed the starting list for the next game in advance.
In order to allow the offensive players to play more and let the two full-backs who have not started for several consecutive games to exercise again, he rearranged the 4231 formation in this game.
Mancini and Smalling partnered as central defenders, and Ibanez, who has been playing almost every game since the beginning of the season, took turns;
The two full-backs Vigna and Karlsdorp returned to the starting lineup, especially Karlsdorp, who knew that his performance in this game would affect his career later;
The defensive midfielders are still Chen Xiaoliang and Wellertu, but in the substitute lineup, Mourinho selected the 19-year-old Gambian teenager Darbo for the youth team.
In order to change his life more than five years ago, Dalbo smuggled across the ocean from Gambia to Italy. He was discovered by scouts and entered the Rome youth training team.
As a black player, physical fitness is naturally the biggest advantage, but golf quotient and skills still need to be exercised.
He is currently worth 200 million euros.
Mourinho transferred him to the first team, which also shows the lack of available candidates for the current team.
Zaniolo returned to the starting lineup and served as the attacking midfielder with Mkhitaryan.
Captain Manuel Pellegrini was suspended for receiving a red card against Udinese and was unable to enter the squad this round.
The forward line is the combination of Abraham and Sesco, which is focused on drills.
Compared with Rome's starting lineup worth 2.5 million euros, Empoli's starting price is only a pitiful 6000 million euros... The average age of 23.8 years old is also 3 years younger than Roma.
Empoli's coach Andreazzoli is also an old acquaintance for Roma. He joined Roma in 2005 as a member of the coaching staff and did not leave until June 2017. In 6, he also served as 2013 interim head coach.
For Chen Xiaoliang, this game has new expectations.
In the last European Cup against Waiters, he completed three missions and received a basic reward of 5 skill points. In addition to Waiters' team reputation of 6100, he can get 4000 times the bonus when the base number is 1.5. The rewards, plus the BUFF that doubled the rewards of the European War this season, is a total of 3 times the rewards, and finally gained 15 skill points.
Skill value 96 → 111!
at last!
Since playing the first cup game in Glasgow in February, I have saved up for 2 months, and I can finally unlock skills with points!
Chen Xiaoliang chose [good at personal defense] without hesitation!
Skill value 111→11
It's the same scene again!A golden lightning passed through his body!
In an instant, just like the last time you unlocked [Good at Downside Tackle], many legendary stars appeared!
But this time it was replaced by Cannavaro, Stam, Makelele, Yaya Toure, Ashley Cole and others, and their movements flooded into Chen Xiaoliang's mind like phantoms!
All kinds of close-fitting and pressing skills make the opponent unable to start up, catch the ball, and make various actions comfortably...
and many more!
Why Ashley Cole? !
Hemp egg!
In addition, these three days of training plus personal extra training have saved another 15 hours of training value.

October 2021, 10 at 4:18, Stadio Olimpico in Rome!
Pellegrini was suspended, Mancini, wearing the captain's armband, led the team into the field, and Chen Xiaoliang was still at the end!
On the bench, Joao was still sitting there holding a pad, but Mourinho was nowhere beside him!
Chen Xiaoliang looked up to the stands, and saw Mourinho sitting at the front of the nearest row of stands, with Pinto, the club's sports director, and two club security personnel accompanying them.
The area they are in is the season ticket area for club insiders and VIP fans.
But despite this, a large circle of fans around him are still holding up their mobile phones and staring at him to take pictures and videos!
Surrounded by them, Mourinho looks like a specimen in a museum...
With a dark face, but helpless...
I can only bear the sins of myself in silence...
"Beep!"
The referee whistles!Game start!
Abraham has also become superstitious since he kicked off against Waiters and scored two goals. Today, he continued to kick off with his left foot against his left foot...
After the opening, on the contrary, the visiting team took the lead.
Empoli's coach Andrea Zoli came prepared. He has been in Rome for 12 years and he is very concerned about the current situation of Rome. He naturally knows that after Rome bought Chen Xiaoliang, the frontal defense ability is very terrifying, so this In this field, his offense hits two sides!
Rome's weakest two wings!
In the 5th minute, Scottish midfielder Liam Henderson used his teammates to attract defensive pressure, dribbled the ball and made a pass from the bottom. He came on loan from Inter Milan and was worth 2000 million euros. Pinamonti, who is worth a third of the team's value, nodded the ball in front and the ball was slightly above the crossbar.
Immediately after Patricio kicked off and counterattacked, Karlsdorp, who vowed to perform well in this game, gave a kick pass. Zaniolo took advantage of the situation and inserted at high speed, came to the penalty area and sent Abraham an inverted triangle. In the cross, Abraham's shot hit Empoli captain Romagnoli and popped out of the bottom line.
The Romagnoli's full name is Simone Romagnoli, which has the same surname as AC Milan's central defender Alessio Romagnoli, but there is no blood relationship.
In the 10th minute, after the attack from the right, it was the turn of the left. Polish midfielder Zurkowski made a pass from the left, and Pinamonti made another point forward, leaving Smalling behind again. This time it was Rubbed the outside instep of his right foot and hit the side net.
Mourinho in the stands had a black line on his face. As soon as he played, the two wingers were blown out. In 10 minutes, the opponent kicked out two threatening attacks. It was still the same routine.
So he picked up his mobile phone and typed it in. After receiving it on the PAD, Joao immediately got up to signal the players on the field, and Plan B started.
In fact, the so-called Plan B is not complicated. It is to let Weiletu support the defense on the left and Mkhitaryan to support the defense on the right, which is equivalent to adding another defense in front of the full-back.
As for the front of the middle road, it was all handed over to Chen Xiaoliang.
In the 15th minute, after Zaniolo's through ball was cut off, Empoli's midfielder Rich directly passed the ball to the retreating Pinamonti.
Facing the Italian striker who is not in the rotation at Inter Milan and has relatively average abilities in all aspects, Chen Xiaoliang did not choose to block the tackle immediately, but posted it.
After unlocking the skill, he had to use it first.
Pinamonti controlled the ball and tried to get rid of Chen Xiaoliang, but he was not superior in speed, strength, and explosiveness. The next time I staggered, I was about to lose my balance and fall.
Pinamonti didn't know what to do, he swung his foot, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't stretch his leg to block it.
Seeing the ball flying straight into the sky like a meteor, Patricio didn't even look up for fear of twisting his neck.
Although Weiletu and Mkhitaryan's supplementary defense stabilized the wing, it also slowed down Rome's attack.
For the next ten minutes, the two sides kept quarreling back and forth.
Empoli, who was unable to break through by Rome's bilateral defense, had to make a fuss about the open area in the middle, and Pinamonti kept retreating to catch the ball and try to organize the attack.
But every time he dribbles the ball forward and wants to advance the offense, Chen Xiaoliang will come up to defend him closely.
Speaking of which, this kind of defensive action is not big, but it is extremely uncomfortable. It seems that the rhythm of every step of the feet has been disrupted.
Mourinho in the stands didn't understand why Chen Xiaoliang's defensive style changed today?In the past, they rushed over at high speed, and when they saw the opportunity, they just slid with a shovel.
If the opponent dodges, the ball will be shoveled, and if the opponent is aggressive, they will be shoveled together.
What's the matter today?Is it uncomfortable?
He immediately sent a text message to Joao: I will find an opportunity to ask Chen on the sidelines later if he is feeling well.
Joao replied quickly: already asked, he said he wanted to try a new defensive method.
Depend on!This kid!
Mourinho immediately relaxed, feeling that the weight on his body was much lighter.
In his eyes, Chen Xiaoliang is the heart that must not be injured. He has already spent a lot of thought on the two sides. Once Chen Xiaoliang is injured, the defense in the middle will also collapse.
At that time, not to mention playing the three giants and Naples who have gone crazy this season, even Lazio, Atlanta, and Fiorentina may not be able to win.
Pinto was constantly communicating with the club's transfer team on his mobile phone.
Boss Dan Friedkin has clearly emphasized more than once in executive meetings that all of Mourinho's signing requirements must be met within the controllable scope of the club, including the space for dealing with existing personnel in exchange for transfer fees and salaries .
But the summer’s big purchases have brought the club into the limits of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Act. Although Riise introduced Adidas and signed a sky-high jersey sponsorship agreement, these will not take effect until next year. , and the fee is still paid in installments and part of it has to be settled according to the sales of jerseys.
Pinto looked at the letter sent on the phone and said: "Jose, we have confirmed that Manchester United is willing to consider renting Wan Bissaka outside the winter window, but they must pay the player's full salary, and there cannot be a buyout clause."
Mourinho frowned: "Just tell me if you can meet the terms."
Pinto shook his head, it was very noisy, the fans kept shouting, he could only say loudly: "Manchester United actually offered him a weekly salary of 10.5 pounds, if we rent him for half a year, the salary alone will have to pay for him Almost 350 million euros!"
"Can you sell this guy for some money?" Mourinho raised his hand and pointed to Karlsdorp.
"Winter window sellers can't sell at a good price. If we sell it everywhere, people will think that we are in a hurry to sell it." Pinto shook his head, a little helpless.
Mourinho knows he's right, when he was at Manchester United, the transfer team there showed him what it means to habitually buy high and sell low...
"See if there's any brats you can pick up, like Cesko, it's definitely a perfect deal.
It doesn't matter if the new right back can't attack, it doesn't matter if he can't cross, as long as he can defend!Defense! "
Pinto: "Our scouting team, including the externally entrusted scouting system, is working hard. Jose, you have more experience than me. You know that there is no need to rush this matter."
Yes, Mourinho also knows that there is no rush, but the schedule does not wait for him.
On the field, the referee's whistle and a commotion interrupted both of their thoughts.
It turned out that during a scramble just now, Chen Xiaoliang’s defense made Pinamonti twist his knee. He ran a few steps, but felt unable to hold on and sat on the ground. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoliang, who had won the ball, kicked the ball out of bounds .
Pinamonti was extremely depressed and sat on the ground shaking his head.
Empoli's team doctor checked and said it seemed like a muscle strain, and applied for a stretcher to carry him out of the field.
Empoli coach Andrea Zoli had to replace Pinamonti with Mancuso.
Ever since, the object of Chen Xiaoliang's "posting" tonight has become the 30-year-old substitute striker.
If Pinamonti is an average striker who is okay in everything and not outstanding in everything, then Mancuso is his weakened version.
It was so weak that Chen Xiaoliang felt that it would not be fun to post him... It would be more fun to shovel him.
Empoli, who had lost his sharpest fang, had no weapons that could pierce Roman armor even if he launched a flank attack, and soon became passive.
In the 35th minute, Zaniolo had another iconic stumble, and after cutting in from the right, he kicked blindly, which was unsurprisingly high.
Cesco, who rushed from the midfield and ran all the way to support Zaniolo, didn't say anything, and walked back without saying a word, but Abraham couldn't help shouting: "Pass the ball, I ran out of space." !
As usual, Zaniolo doesn't know whether he really didn't hear it or pretended he didn't hear it, anyway, he just didn't hear it.
"How much can he sell now? In the next winter window." Mourinho pointed to Zaniolo and asked.
Pinto was a little surprised: "Jose, are you serious?"
Mourinho: "I'm just asking you."
Pinto: "His current valuation is about 3300 million euros, and his weekly salary is 9 euros. If the winter window is sold, it can help us recover about 3500 million euros in funds this season."
Mourinho: "That's it? He's only 21 years old! You can try to sell to that bastard Conte, he will like Italians."
"Jose, I will try, but Zaniolo has broken the cruciate ligaments of both legs, but he is still a player who is good at speed and dribbling. Few teams dare to play with the rhythm and confrontation in the Premier League." Buying such a young man is not just about price."
Mourinho reluctantly admitted that Pinto was right.
If it were him himself, if he was still coaching in the Premier League, he would not spend 3000 million pounds to buy a player who might have to retire if he broke his cruciate ligament again.
Mourinho held his breath for a long time before saying, "Are you familiar with Riise?"
Pinto: "You mean Chen's manager?"
Mourinho: "Yes."
Pinto: "It's okay, I met him twice about the jersey and Cesco."
Mourinho: "Ask him, I don't even know why he suddenly made up his mind to push Cesco's deal, but maybe he has a way."
Pinto: "Okay, I will, Jose, don't worry, I will try all the methods that can be tried."
Back on the court, in the 38th minute, Empoli launched a counterattack. Mancuso, who came off the bench, took a long shot from Chen Xiaoliang, but instead of an anti-aircraft gun like Pinamonti, he rolled limply. To Patricio.
Repeated tests made Chen Xiaoliang understand that [good at personal defense] this skill can be combined with his own stealing, marking and physical attributes, by forcing but not grabbing, disrupting the opponent's rhythm, interfering with the opponent's pace, and destroying the opponent's balance , all in all, it is to prevent the person being defended from exerting his full strength.
Although not as direct as steals and tackles, it may be more useful than direct steals when used on some players, such as Kane, who has good ball control, vision, and passing, but is extraordinary and fast, and has a strong physique. on Vlahovic.
But it may not be easy to use when encountering a fast forward. Once it is pasted and broken, it will immediately become a big colander.
In the 41st minute, Chen Xiaoliang no longer stuck to the defense, but directly cut off the pass to Mancuso, and did not look for a chance to pass from the side. He directly swung his kick and passed it to Cesco in front.
The tacit understanding value is dark green, the technical attribute is increased by 3, and the pass is also 13. When the opening is large and the opponent is weak, the ball should be shot or the ball should be shot.
He never forgot the contents of the notebook Mourinho gave him.
Before the game, according to the age and ability of the two center forwards, Empoli coach Andrea Zoli asked his young 20-year-old central defender Mattia Vitti to defend the equally young Cesco.
Let the experienced Simeone Romagnoli guard Abraham.
But being close in age doesn't mean being close in ability!
Facing the Slovenian striker's back with the ball, Mattia Vitti has nothing to do!
Sesco jumped up to head the ball a little, unloaded the ball, protected the ball and turned around to break through head-on!
Mattia Vitti didn't dare to go up and follow him back!
Abraham stepped forward in an instant, and Simone Romagnoli chased after him!
Cesko tricked Mattia Vitti away, fake shot real pass!
A diagonal pass is not in the direction of Abraham's running position!
It's Zaniolo!
The number 22 of the Roma team finally seized the opportunity and faced the goalkeeper's explosive shot!
1 is better than 0!
The first half is coming to an end, and the score has finally been rewritten!
Mourinho and Pinto congratulated with high-fives, but he was thinking in his heart, if Zaniolo is worth 3300 million euros, then Cesco should be worth 5000 million euros!
Not to mention the performance on the court and the future potential, the two intact cruciate ligaments are worth the difference of 1700 million euros!
The midfielder did not make any adjustments. Mourinho just re-emphasized the running position in the offense with a few offensive players, and also hinted to Zaniolo not to always do it alone.
Not long after the start of the second half, when Abraham pressed his opponent's midfielder Richie in the center circle, Richie made a mistake in his haste. In a hurry, the return pass was weak, and he was snatched by Abraham who sprinted with his legs!
The England striker is eager to score consecutive goals and defend his main position!
Taking the ball with his back and fighting for the top of the penalty area are not his strong points, but he is still very confident in dribbling breakthroughs and fighting for speed!
Abraham burst into a frenzy in the middle, as if Zaniolo had possessed him!
But this opportunity was snatched by himself, and there were no other teammates around him.
Coming near the penalty line, Simone Romagnoli came and double-teamed him with Mattia Vitti!
Abraham just took a step into the penalty area and shot directly!
The ball is fast!Empoli's 24-year-old goalkeeper Vicario struggled to save!
The ball was thrown!
But the rebounded ball was followed by Mkhitaryan who followed up at high speed and made a supplementary shot!
2 is better than 0!
Despite being in the stands, Mourinho stood up and applauded!
The surrounding fans took out their mobile phones again and pointed at him one after another!
It was like seeing a panda standing up suddenly after lying motionless for a long time in the zoo!
For a moment, it seemed that he was the focus of the stadium!
He was very satisfied, because this goal was completely won by two people fighting for it!
But Abraham was very depressed. The opportunities he created didn't even get an assist in the end...
But there is still time!
Roma, who led by two goals, completely relaxed their mentality. Their ball possession rate reached a rare 64%, and their pass success rate was 91%, which was far ahead of Empoli's 83%.
Anyone who knows Mourinho knows that this kind of possession rate should not appear in his team.
Chen Xiaoliang once again entered the state of having nothing to do.
Two goals behind, the main center was injured, Empoli was like a tiger pulling out its teeth, and the sick cat didn't show its power, completely lost its spirit.
Chen Xiaoliang was in the backcourt to help out, split the ball, and occasionally went to the side to make a cross.
However, because Wei Letu moved to the left to help the side defend, Chen Xiaoliang was the only one in front of the center, so the number of times he pulled side crosses in this game was very small.
In the 61st minute, Abraham received a header from Sesco in the penalty area and shot a low shot from a small angle, which was saved by Vicario!
In the 66th minute, Roma counterattacked quickly. Chen Xiaoliang saw that Abraham was desperately pressing in the frontcourt. He really wanted to score a goal and was crazy. He decided to help him, so he also plugged in and received a pass from Mkhitaryan!
It is still the 45-degree cross that he has practiced countless times in training!
Abraham advanced forward at high speed and hit the ball with perfect precision!
Vicario didn't respond!
It's a pity that it missed the right column again!
Abraham covered his face with his hands, unbelievable. It took a while before he remembered to give Chen Xiaoliang a thumbs up.
In the 71st minute, Mourinho sent a text message to Joao to make a remote substitution.
Enter Krystante, replace Mkhitaryan;
Enter Darbo, replace Chen Xiaoliang;
Maraiol enters, substituting Abraham;
Carafioli comes on, substituting Viña.
Chen Xiaoliang looked at Abraham, who was a little frustrated, and went to encourage him: "Next time, I will pass on some accurate ones to you, and I will definitely get in."
When Tie Hanhan heard this sentence, his eyes immediately lit up: "It's agreed, don't lie, you waited for a long time today, and you just spread the word."
"I have a way, as long as you can do it, I will guarantee you ten or eight passes every game."
"What can I do?! Say it!"
"You go to the coach and say, you play the midfielder, make sure you don't lose the ball, I will play the forward, and then I promise to stay on the wing all the time, as long as you get in, I will pass to you, how about it?"
In Abraham's dark face, the two big eyes rolled around several times, and when he realized it, Chen Xiaoliang was already sitting behind Joao, looking at him with a smirk.
There was no change in the last 20 minutes, and the two sides maintained the score until the end.
Darbo, who made his debut in the first-team game for the first time, was a little nervous, but he was full of energy, and his stealing ability was quite satisfactory. In addition, he was full of energy as a substitute, which helped the team to ensure that the goal was not lost.
Regardless of whether it is a tight schedule or not, after all, in this wave of three games, the team won three consecutive victories.
Next, some of them need to participate in the national team competition, and the rest will have a full twelve days of training and adjustment, and then go to Turin to challenge the Serie A overlord Juventus.
Chen Xiaoliang who returned home received the reward first.
Today's best player was won by veteran Mkhitaryan, but Chen Xiaoliang felt that he deserved it.
The veteran doesn't talk much in the team. It seems that because of some past experiences, he has always had some grievances with Mourinho, but his performance is very professional, and he does not have emotions in everything. Mourinho treats him very well. The tactical requirements are also fully fulfilled.
Especially this season's wing problems, he often needs to act as a wing back and undertake a lot of defensive tasks, and he has no complaints.
Chen Xiaoliang is also happy to have such a role model of professional players in his locker room social circle.
Except for the best of the game and the unfinished goal assist, he has completed the other four regular tasks, and he has obtained a total of 3 hours of training and 2 physical recovery cards.
Training value 9→12, stamina recovery card 5→7
The game was too easy, he didn't even use the physical strength recovery card. Looking at the number of 7 cards, the next 12 days is bound to be a lot of training.
Just as a person was lying on the bed, strapped on a device to check his physical condition, the phone rang, it was a text message, and it rang twice.
Helena's unread text: Just saw your game!It's so easy today!Erica's injury is recovering smoothly. She is planning to visit you in Rome with me. The weather in your place is good. Riise said that you can ask the team doctor in Rome to help her diagnose and treat her. What do you think?
When Chen Xiaoliang was happy and excited, he almost jumped out of bed!
what do i thinkMust be good!Be sure and sure!
God!O earth!The days of the monk are finally coming to an end!
The days of reaching out for clothes and opening your mouth for food are coming back again!
And it's double happiness!
He quickly raised his phone and typed: OK!Come quickly!
Just about to hit send...
wrong!and many more!
While Chen Xiaoliang was excited, he saw Helena's text message again...
"Rise said that you can ask the Roma team doctor to help him diagnose and treat him"
Ok? ? ?
not good!
Hemp egg!
These two batches of Riise betrayed me? !
Could it be... Helena knew all about it?
He took another look at the question mark at the end of Helena's text message...
No, no, this is not a sub-question, this is a proposition!
He deleted the input and re-entered: "Erica's matter is up to you, I just hope you come back soon"
Huh... almost... let's go through this level first...
Look at another one.
Steven Gerrard's unread text message: Boy, after the national team game, I will go to Birmingham to start my Premier League coaching career. The Rangers guys don't know yet. Let me tell you first, keep it secret!
PS Lily will go to Rome at the end of the month, and I will show her around when I have time.
When Chen Xiaoliang saw the first half, he yelled: Damn it! ! !The boss is awesome! ! !
When I watched the second half, it became: Uh...
He opened the map and looked at it.
There are two teams in Birmingham, Birmingham and Aston Villa. If you count the entire Birmingham region, West Bromwich Albion and West Brom in the northwest, and Wolverhampton and Wolves in the northwest. , there is also a Coventry in the southeast.
But only Aston Villa and Wolves are in the Premier League.
The Portuguese coach of the Wolves, Bruno Lager, just took office this season. The Wolves are currently ranked ninth in the Premier League and there is no risk of dismissal.
Then there is only Aston Villa, which is ranked 15th and is on the verge of the relegation zone!
It is not an easy journey to turn the tide and help the building to fall, from the Scottish Premiership champion team to the lower reaches of the Premier League.
But this incident still made Chen Xiaoliang very happy!
He called Riise and David, and made an appointment with them to have a meal in the city tomorrow!
The next day is a routine post-match rest day.
During the day, Chen Xiaoliang practiced alone at home for 5 hours in the morning and afternoon, and David came to pick him up and Riise on time in the evening.
The three of them went to Piazza Vittorio in Rome.
It is a gathering area for Red Country people in Rome, and there are various Red Country shops and restaurants. Although it is not an officially recognized Chinatown like Milan Chinatown, it is still a place that Red Country people will definitely visit when they come to Rome.
The three of them sat down at the Hongguo restaurant where there were relatively few people. This was also to make it easier for Chen Xiaoliang, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, not to be recognized by the public and cause trouble.
However, as soon as he sat down, Portman called him.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to answer at first, but Portman kept dialing.
"Hello? Is there something wrong?"
"Someone is going to fuck you!" Portman's tone was very urgent!
"What? Fuck me? A man or a woman?" Chen Xiaoliang didn't take it seriously. He always felt that the female reporter was very deep, so he kept avoiding her.
Portman was dumbfounded by his question: "Male and female? Is there any difference?"
Chen Xiaoliang half-jokingly said: "Yes, there is a big difference..."
At this moment, he raised his head and glanced out the window. Two black cars slammed to a stop on the side of the road one after another, and six or seven people got out wearing black suits and the top three buttons of their shirts were undone.
They glanced at the restaurant, and one of them met the gaze behind Chen Xiaoliang's sunglasses.
Chen Xiaoliang now knew that Portman was not joking: "Damn! Who is going to fuck me?"
Portman: "Mafia! Hurry up..."
Chen Xiaoliang hung up the phone because those people had already walked into the restaurant and were coming towards him.
Thanks to the club director [McDull has Ningbao] for sponsoring!
Yesterday I didn't have a monthly pass, it was a bit sad and I had to keep working hard!
