Chapter 158 I Came Here To Win The Championship
Back in the locker room, Chen Xiaoliang was applauded by his teammates in unison!
Pellegrini specially sat beside him: "Chen, today was really exciting! The goal just now was really unbelievable! From now on, you will take all the free kicks in the frontcourt!"
Chen Xiaoliang quickly refused, saying that he should follow the tactics arranged by the head coach.
However, Pellegrini thought he was being polite, and still insisted on humility.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to get entangled with him, so he fooled it first.
At the post-match press conference, the head coaches of both sides praised each other at the same time.
Pioli praised Mourinho for playing his iconic defensive counterattack, and Mourinho believes that Pioli is a very real person and the right person to lead AC Milan's revival.
Moreover, when the two were asked how to comment on Chen Xiaoliang, they did not hesitate to praise the language.
Pioli believes that Chen Xiaoliang should be the most competitive contender for the European Golden Boy Award. Several other players, such as Pedri, Bellingham, and Musiala, are not as good as Chen Xiaoliang in terms of playing time and internal status. Personal data is also far behind.
Pioli told reporters that in the 11 rounds of the league plus 5 European Cup games this season, in a total of 16 games, Chen Xiaoliang scored 5 goals and contributed 6 assists, including 4 goals and 4 assists in the league. Just an excellent stat.
Not to mention his 52 interceptions and 44 steals, both of which are far ahead of No.2 in the Serie A player list.
These all prove that Chen Xiaoliang not only adapted to the environment and rhythm of Serie A in his first year in Suchao, but also became one of the best midfielders in Serie A.
But Mourinho is taking the initiative to cool down for Chen Xiaoliang.
He said that he has coached legendary midfielders such as Lampard, Harvey Alonso, Essien, Sneijder, etc., and he has also coached legendary midfielders such as Eto'o, Kaka, Robben, Drogba, Ibrahimovic, and Benzema. He has cooperated with many super attackers, not to mention a rare peerless superstar like Ronaldo.
Chen Xiaoliang is already on the right path, but there is still a long way to go.
Opportunities, circumstances, choices, including injuries, will all affect his future. He also appeals to the media not to pay too much attention to Roma's personal performance, but to look at the progress of the team and the improvement of the overall tactics.
When a reporter from the French "L'Equipe" asked Mourinho, saying that he had received news that Paris was considering spending [-] million yuan to introduce Chen Xiaoliang in Dongchuanghao, Mourinho did not respond positively, but said, "Money is what buys Chen Xiaoliang." If you don’t get to be the champion”, he hurriedly left the press conference.
After this round, Roma has accumulated 24 points and continues to rank third;
AC Milan has 29 points, and was taken away by Naples, who defeated Salernitana 0-1 away, and ranked second;
Naples returned to first place with 30 points;
Inter Milan defeated Udinese 2-0 at home, accumulating 24 points, and continued to rank fourth due to the disadvantage of goal difference;
Verona repelled Juventus tenaciously at home 2-1. Juventus still had 13 points and dropped out of the top 10 again;
Rome's next league opponent, Venice, drew 0-0 with Genoa in the away game, accumulating 9 points and ranking 16th in the league.
However, before an away game against Venice on November 11, they will continue to face their European Cup group match rival Mulla at the Olympic Stadium on the 7th.
With a whole body of exhaustion, Chen Xiaoliang returned home.
He fell asleep while Helena was testing his physical fitness.
too tired.
The next day was a routine holiday again, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't get up until after 9 o'clock, which was already a very rare situation for him to sleep in.
When he woke up, he still didn't want to get out of bed with his clothes on. He just leaned on the pillow and clicked on the system to collect the rewards from yesterday's game.
In the previous game, I completed the three tasks of [entering the squad for the next game] [entering the next game] [getting the best player in the next game], with a total of 8 training points.
There are 2 assists and 1 goal in exchange for 6 training points.
It's a pity that the team neither won nor scored a clean sheet, so they won't be able to get the stamina recovery card for this game.
Training value 2 → 16
Then he turned on his phone and swiped the major sports websites and football forums for a while.
"Rising Stars of the Red Country PK Sweden's Forefathers!"The two sides shook hands and made peace in the goal battle"
"The last runner-up was embarrassed and kept 1 point. Mourinho transformed the bus into a chariot? "
"Ibrahimovic declares to the world: Chen Xiaoliang is the next football superstar"
"Beckham: I couldn't take a free kick like this when I was 17"

"Chen Xiaoliang Heat! 'Generation Conquest' has become Asia's best-selling football boot »
"Dave, chairman of Glasgow Rangers, said: the cooperation with Red Country's youth training will cultivate more Chen Xiaoliang"
"If you don't make a name, the agent who is already a blockbuster-how did Riise sign Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco with insight? "
"Mourinho's Second Battalion Commander?Chen Xiaoliang Free Kick Full Angle Replay"
In short, after looking around, it was basically all praise for me, and many fans of the top-tier clubs left messages, hoping that my club would not miss the opportunity for the second time, and must buy me this time.
According to their logic, once they switch to first-tier giants like Manchester City, Barcelona, and Paris next summer, it will become impossible to transfer again.
However, there are also some comments that question Chen Xiaoliang's prospects. Except for those keyboard warriors who are not happy with anything, or who don't understand football's random commentary style at all, there is one thing that Chen Xiaoliang himself thinks is understandable.
That's the level of fatigue.
This season's multi-line battle in Rome, it is now the beginning of November, the team needs to ensure the top four positions in the league, but also to ensure the qualifying in the Europa League group stage.
This also means that neither front can make any mistakes.
In January, the Coppa Italia competition will start again. According to Roma's experience in the past ten years, they have never been able to win the league, and they will often look for opportunities to win the Coppa Italia.
Chen Xiaoliang certainly knows that Mourinho also understands that the team's current lineup depth cannot meet the needs of third-line operations.
However, under the pressure of actual performance, he had to take a step at a time, which led to the continuous rotation of the current main players, and there was no chance for rotation and respite.
To a certain extent, this is also the reason why Rome's continuous mad attack was still unable to break through the opponent's goal in the last game when Milan played one player less and the scene was completely behind.
These players, including myself, are really too tired, and they cannot maintain a high state every game in such a close-to-hand combat.
Fatigue can also lead to injuries. Although I have an injury recovery card and a BUFF that halves the duration of negative states, long-term overloaded games are likely to cause chronic injuries.
The most famous cases are the knee of the former England golden boy Michael Owen, and the foot bones of Yao Ming, the giant of the Red Kingdom.
It is all under long-term and excessive use, which leads to a long-term accumulation. Even if the injury is healed, the old injury will recur after a period of time, and it will become more serious every time.
Helena naturally knew this too. As Chen Xiaoliang's personal director of sports science, she sent the data to the chief team doctor of Roma Club.
However, the reply given by the club is only "it will be passed on to the coaching team and provide scientific advice."
To put it bluntly, in the end, the head coach has the final say.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help thinking of the past when Gerrard insisted not to let his ankle ligament torn in the second round of the Europa League knockout match against Manchester United when he was at Rangers.
But he also understood that at that time, Gerrard had basically locked in the Soviet Super League championship in advance, and it was already a super-level performance to be able to fight Manchester United in the Europa League.
And now Mourinho may fall out of the top four in the league or be eliminated in the Europa League group stage at any time due to a wave of two or three consecutive losses.
Fortunately, Riise came back with two good news.
First, after communicating with several full-backs on the transfer list, Celik of Lille and Malaysia of Feyenoord are willing to join Roma in the winter window, and the club is also willing to release them.
The two together only need 2200 million euros, which can greatly enrich the thickness of the team's side defense!
And the two players also agreed that once the transfer takes shape, they are willing to re-hire Riise as their agent.
But the other two, Wolfsburg's Baku clearly refused, he expressed his unwillingness to play under the bus tactics, preferring the relatively fast football style of the Bundesliga;
Shakhtar Donetsk's Duo Duo decided to accept Florence's invitation and join Viola next summer after hard persuasion by his current agent.
Riise has told the news to Roma's football director Pinto in person, and he will start negotiations with Lille and Feyenoord as quickly as possible.
The other thing is the second thing, Boss Wu is willing to form a consortium with Chen Xiaoliang, as the absolute majority shareholder, to acquire an Algerian natural gas mining company.
Chen Xiaoliang remembered this incident after meeting the godfather in the suburban manor and getting the promise of cooperation from Boss Wu, and asked Riise to communicate privately with Boss Wu's subordinates as his representative.
Riise is very puzzled as to why Chen Xiaoliang, as a player, is interested in natural gas, and is willing to rely on financial leverage to use his contract period in Rome as collateral to finance and invest in natural gas.
His home country, Norway, relies on the export of oil and natural gas as the mainstay of its economy, and Riise knows more or less about this industry.
Today, when more and more attention is paid to green, low-carbon, environmental protection and energy saving, reducing carbon emissions is a politically correct slogan. At the same time, due to the development of environmental protection industries such as solar energy, wind energy, and new energy vehicles, the price of traditional chemical energy has been slowly falling, according to Riser After all, I feel that investing in natural gas is a business that does not make much money, and may earn less and less.
Boss Wu was not interested at first. He also said that his friend, Hong Kong Lao Li, had bought nearly half of the country's natural gas companies in the UK, and their profits were declining year by year.
But after Chen Xiaoliang had a long phone call with him, he changed his attitude and expressed his willingness to get involved.
However, no matter how Rise asked, Chen Xiaoliang never said what he and Boss Wu had said, so Rise had no choice but to give up asking.
On this day, Chen Xiaoliang was rarely free, so he kept Riise and asked David to invite his son, plus Helena and Erica, and Cesko who lived nearby, a total of seven people, I happily ate a hot pot meal at home.
David's son was very excited to see Chen Xiaoliang, even though he was 4 years older than Chen Xiaoliang.He brought a lot of jerseys and souvenirs from the dormitory, many of which were entrusted by his classmates. Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco signed them one by one, and took a group photo with David.
Originally, I wanted to invite Wu Lei's family, but unfortunately, because Wu Lei didn't play, he had no rest day and had to train in the club, so he had to give up.
The day flew by, and the date came to November 11th, with only one day left before the game against Moura.
Chen Xiaoliang, Sesco, and Wu Lei still followed the usual schedule. They came to the club an hour earlier, got ready in the locker room, went to the training ground to warm up by jogging, did some simple passing and catching exercises, and waited for the large team to gather.
The morning training focuses on physical recovery, and more attention should be paid to the stability of the players' physical condition during the intensive schedule.
However, at the end of training in the morning, Mourinho asked all the players to wait on the training ground and not to leave.
Just when everyone thought the head coach was going to announce something, the iconic figure of the club appeared with a smile, accompanied by several club publicity staff who were taking pictures and recording.
Francisco Totti, the eternal prince of Rome, holding a column-shaped trophy in his hand, came around the players in a circle and said: "I am entrusted by the Serie A Committee to present the league's best player in October." Player's honor."
Before everyone could react, Totti gave the answer directly: "Congratulations, Chen Xiaoliang!"
Amidst the applause and cheers of his teammates and coaches, Chen Xiaoliang took the trophy from Totti, and then the camera snapped wildly at the two of them.
Then the press officer handed over a manuscript with some acceptance speeches on it. The content was mainly words of thanks to the teammates, the coaching team, and the club. Brand new vibe.
Obviously the club has prepared a standard answer in advance.
But the press officer also said that this is just a reminder, and you can say whatever you want on this basis.
It can be seen from Totti's calm expression that the ambassador of the Club of Rome is no stranger to this kind of cliché speech after winning the award.
After finishing the interview, Chen Xiaoliang and Totti, holding the trophy, went to the restaurant.
"Although two days have passed, I was still shocked when I saw the replay of that free kick!" Can't hide my excitement.
After listening to it, Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: You are excited... I am so excited too...
"Daniele (De Rossi) told me that Gerrard once taught you many things, such as long passes and long shots. Could it be that he also taught this free kick?"
Looking at Totti's tone, it seems that he doesn't believe it at all.
Whatever happened to Chen Xiaoliang now, he pushed it to Gerrard. The year he was in the Rangers, it became his secret training camp, and Gerrard was the omnipotent super mentor who could teach everything.
"Yeah, I live with him, and he will teach me everything when I'm free."
Yes, that's true, even he wants to give his daughter to me...
"Really? Well, he is really a great player." Totti still expressed his surprise.
As two legendary players who rejected Real Madrid again and again at the peak of their careers, the two who are not very familiar have a good impression of each other.
However, unlike De Rossi who regards Gerrard as an idol, although Totti, who is an agent at the moment, has not picked up the coach like Gerrard, he does not think that in his time, there are few players in the world who are better than him. better.
"Chen, I heard that you always practice extra after training. After training this afternoon, how about I do some activities with you?"
Faced with Totti's sudden invitation, Chen Xiaoliang of course nodded in agreement.
After practicing the offense for an hour and a half in the afternoon, and the transition from defense to offense, Mourinho let the players go home on time.
Chen Xiaoliang's five-member team—he, Wu Lei, Abraham, Sesco and the third goalkeeper Boll stayed for extra training again, but Abraham had some discomfort in his hamstring and only did recovery stretching on the sidelines.
Totti, who had been watching Mourinho directing the training from the sidelines this afternoon, also put on his training uniform and joined in.
Totti, who is 45 years old and has been away from daily training for a long time, of course cannot fight against this group of "children" in his eyes. He is more concerned with feeding them the ball, directing the running position and so on.
Chen Xiaoliang played more of the role of the last defender in front of Ball, and the others passed around the pole, ran out of space, and looked for space to shoot under his defense.
Watching Chen Xiaoliang's defensive ability at close range once again allowed Totti to refresh his senses.
He silently marveled in his heart. In terms of defense alone, not to mention the 17-year-old De Rossi, even the 27-year-old De Rossi can't compare with this red country boy.
The few players in front of them couldn't get any bargain at all in one-on-one.
such a pity!I am already 45 years old, if I am 20 years younger, I really want to go up and try it myself!
But... when it was Chen Xiaoliang's turn to attack, Totti also dropped his jaw in shock!
Is this guy really the "offensive genius" who kicked a super arc free kick and scored a shocking long shot? !
10 out of 4 long passes can't find the player, but the pass is accurate every time, flying towards the striker like a ball with long eyes. What kind of operation is this? !
There is also shooting... I didn't see that this is a player with excellent footwork.
Totti couldn't figure it out, and finally he could only come to one conclusion:
This kid has reservations in front of me!Don't want to deliberately show off your skills to me!
He has seen this too much, and the kids in the youth training team often show themselves vigorously after meeting Totti.
All kinds of cycling, oxtails, flower-arranging passes, in short, they are trying their best to show their skills.
And these moves will only offend older players because most of them are not practical on the pitch, and no professional club wants to let ten other players watch a first-timer in an official game Opportunity's little players are there to show off their skills.
If there is, this person will either lose his qualifications to play soon, or he is on the road to becoming the king of the ball.
Seeing that several other people were accustomed to Chen Xiaoliang's performance, Totti also pretended to be calm.
However, after one hour of extra practice, he still taught a few people a lot of practical tips and experiences, especially repeatedly demonstrated and explained his signature moves to several forwards - lob shots from outside the penalty area and penalty kicks with a spoon.
His lob shot from outside the penalty area is in a quick counterattack. When the opponent's goalkeeper is positioned relatively forward, it has a very lethal effect, but it also requires relatively high control of footwork and strength.
In short no matter what, Totti and several young people who have not been active for a long time are very happy.
Take a day off, and the time has come to the evening of November 11th.
In the fourth round of the Europa League Group G group stage, Roma will play against Mulla at home. The start time is set at 22:[-] Rome time.
Compared to the match against AC Milan, the buses from both sides did not cause much disturbance when they drove into the stadium, especially on Mullah's side, there were very few fans traveling with the team, there were only more than 30 diehard fans, and Some Slovenians living in Italy bought tickets, and the seats were scattered among the home team fans.
But Mourinho, who finally doesn't have to sit in the audience anymore, doesn't want this game to turn into a boring cutscene.
The character of the Portuguese is to make things happen when there is nothing to do, and to make things bigger when things are not.
For this "mowing" game that is inevitable and has no suspense in the eyes of Roma fans, he once again made amazing words in the pre-match press conference.
When the reporter asked him whether the goals set by the club this season had been adjusted in view of the recent good results, he smiled and replied: "I come everywhere for the championship. Maybe you will say that Tottenham is an exception, but If I hadn't left the club at that ludicrous time, there would surely be another Carling Cup trophy in Tottenham's trophy cabinet."
"Jose, do you mean the Serie A champion? Or the Coppa Italia champion? Or the Europa League champion?"
Mourinho showed his trademark sly smile: "Guess."
However, in the player tunnel, a reporter from Corriere dello Sport caught Chen Xiaoliang who was queuing up to enter the stadium again, and asked him what he thought of Mourinho's words.
At this time, many players turned their heads, waiting to hear Chen Xiaoliang's answer.
At the urging of the fourth official, the players in front have already started to enter the field.
Chen Xiaoliang left only one sentence before leaving: "Yes, we are fighting for the championship."
Thanks to the club director [Shuo Yueying] for the monthly ticket!
Thanks to the monthly ticket of the club director [Fuck you can't have characters]!
Thanks to the club directors for the monthly ticket of [Free Flowers Everywhere in the World]!
Thanks to the club director [Fusheng Wine Shop] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the club director [Lonely Zhang Yi] for the monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
Back in the locker room, Chen Xiaoliang was applauded by his teammates in unison!
Pellegrini specially sat beside him: "Chen, today was really exciting! The goal just now was really unbelievable! From now on, you will take all the free kicks in the frontcourt!"
Chen Xiaoliang quickly refused, saying that he should follow the tactics arranged by the head coach.
However, Pellegrini thought he was being polite, and still insisted on humility.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to get entangled with him, so he fooled it first.
At the post-match press conference, the head coaches of both sides praised each other at the same time.
Pioli praised Mourinho for playing his iconic defensive counterattack, and Mourinho believes that Pioli is a very real person and the right person to lead AC Milan's revival.
Moreover, when the two were asked how to comment on Chen Xiaoliang, they did not hesitate to praise the language.
Pioli believes that Chen Xiaoliang should be the most competitive contender for the European Golden Boy Award. Several other players, such as Pedri, Bellingham, and Musiala, are not as good as Chen Xiaoliang in terms of playing time and internal status. Personal data is also far behind.
Pioli told reporters that in the 11 rounds of the league plus 5 European Cup games this season, in a total of 16 games, Chen Xiaoliang scored 5 goals and contributed 6 assists, including 4 goals and 4 assists in the league. Just an excellent stat.
Not to mention his 52 interceptions and 44 steals, both of which are far ahead of No.2 in the Serie A player list.
These all prove that Chen Xiaoliang not only adapted to the environment and rhythm of Serie A in his first year in Suchao, but also became one of the best midfielders in Serie A.
But Mourinho is taking the initiative to cool down for Chen Xiaoliang.
He said that he has coached legendary midfielders such as Lampard, Harvey Alonso, Essien, Sneijder, etc., and he has also coached legendary midfielders such as Eto'o, Kaka, Robben, Drogba, Ibrahimovic, and Benzema. He has cooperated with many super attackers, not to mention a rare peerless superstar like Ronaldo.
Chen Xiaoliang is already on the right path, but there is still a long way to go.
Opportunities, circumstances, choices, including injuries, will all affect his future. He also appeals to the media not to pay too much attention to Roma's personal performance, but to look at the progress of the team and the improvement of the overall tactics.
When a reporter from the French "L'Equipe" asked Mourinho, saying that he had received news that Paris was considering spending [-] million yuan to introduce Chen Xiaoliang in Dongchuanghao, Mourinho did not respond positively, but said, "Money is what buys Chen Xiaoliang." If you don’t get to be the champion”, he hurriedly left the press conference.
After this round, Roma has accumulated 24 points and continues to rank third;
AC Milan has 29 points, and was taken away by Naples, who defeated Salernitana 0-1 away, and ranked second;
Naples returned to first place with 30 points;
Inter Milan defeated Udinese 2-0 at home, accumulating 24 points, and continued to rank fourth due to the disadvantage of goal difference;
Verona repelled Juventus tenaciously at home 2-1. Juventus still had 13 points and dropped out of the top 10 again;
Rome's next league opponent, Venice, drew 0-0 with Genoa in the away game, accumulating 9 points and ranking 16th in the league.
However, before an away game against Venice on November 11, they will continue to face their European Cup group match rival Mulla at the Olympic Stadium on the 7th.
With a whole body of exhaustion, Chen Xiaoliang returned home.
He fell asleep while Helena was testing his physical fitness.
too tired.
The next day was a routine holiday again, and Chen Xiaoliang didn't get up until after 9 o'clock, which was already a very rare situation for him to sleep in.
When he woke up, he still didn't want to get out of bed with his clothes on. He just leaned on the pillow and clicked on the system to collect the rewards from yesterday's game.

And now Mourinho may fall out of the top four in the league or be eliminated in the Europa League group stage at any time due to a wave of two or three consecutive losses.
Fortunately, Riise came back with two good news.
First, after communicating with several full-backs on the transfer list, Celik of Lille and Malaysia of Feyenoord are willing to join Roma in the winter window, and the club is also willing to release them.
The two together only need 2200 million euros, which can greatly enrich the thickness of the team's side defense!
And the two players also agreed that once the transfer takes shape, they are willing to re-hire Riise as their agent.
But the other two, Wolfsburg's Baku clearly refused, he expressed his unwillingness to play under the bus tactics, preferring the relatively fast football style of the Bundesliga;
Shakhtar Donetsk's Duo Duo decided to accept Florence's invitation and join Viola next summer after hard persuasion by his current agent.
Riise has told the news to Roma's football director Pinto in person, and he will start negotiations with Lille and Feyenoord as quickly as possible.
The other thing is the second thing, Boss Wu is willing to form a consortium with Chen Xiaoliang, as the absolute majority shareholder, to acquire an Algerian natural gas mining company.
Chen Xiaoliang remembered this incident after meeting the godfather in the suburban manor and getting the promise of cooperation from Boss Wu, and asked Riise to communicate privately with Boss Wu's subordinates as his representative.
Riise is very puzzled as to why Chen Xiaoliang, as a player, is interested in natural gas, and is willing to rely on financial leverage to use his contract period in Rome as collateral to finance and invest in natural gas.
His home country, Norway, relies on the export of oil and natural gas as the mainstay of its economy, and Riise knows more or less about this industry.
Today, when more and more attention is paid to green, low-carbon, environmental protection and energy saving, reducing carbon emissions is a politically correct slogan. At the same time, due to the development of environmental protection industries such as solar energy, wind energy, and new energy vehicles, the price of traditional chemical energy has been slowly falling, according to Riser After all, I feel that investing in natural gas is a business that does not make much money, and may earn less and less.
Boss Wu was not interested at first. He also said that his friend, Hong Kong Lao Li, had bought nearly half of the country's natural gas companies in the UK, and their profits were declining year by year.
But after Chen Xiaoliang had a long phone call with him, he changed his attitude and expressed his willingness to get involved.
However, no matter how Rise asked, Chen Xiaoliang never said what he and Boss Wu had said, so Rise had no choice but to give up asking.
On this day, Chen Xiaoliang was rarely free, so he kept Riise and asked David to invite his son, plus Helena and Erica, and Cesko who lived nearby, a total of seven people, I happily ate a hot pot meal at home.
David's son was very excited to see Chen Xiaoliang, even though he was 4 years older than Chen Xiaoliang.He brought a lot of jerseys and souvenirs from the dormitory, many of which were entrusted by his classmates. Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco signed them one by one, and took a group photo with David.
Originally, I wanted to invite Wu Lei's family, but unfortunately, because Wu Lei didn't play, he had no rest day and had to train in the club, so he had to give up.
The day flew by, and the date came to November 11th, with only one day left before the game against Moura.
Chen Xiaoliang, Sesco, and Wu Lei still followed the usual schedule. They came to the club an hour earlier, got ready in the locker room, went to the training ground to warm up by jogging, did some simple passing and catching exercises, and waited for the large team to gather.
The morning training focuses on physical recovery, and more attention should be paid to the stability of the players' physical condition during the intensive schedule.
However, at the end of training in the morning, Mourinho asked all the players to wait on the training ground and not to leave.
Just when everyone thought the head coach was going to announce something, the iconic figure of the club appeared with a smile, accompanied by several club publicity staff who were taking pictures and recording.
Francisco Totti, the eternal prince of Rome, holding a column-shaped trophy in his hand, came around the players in a circle and said: "I am entrusted by the Serie A Committee to present the league's best player in October." Player's honor."
Before everyone could react, Totti gave the answer directly: "Congratulations, Chen Xiaoliang!"
Amidst the applause and cheers of his teammates and coaches, Chen Xiaoliang took the trophy from Totti, and then the camera snapped wildly at the two of them.
Then the press officer handed over a manuscript with some acceptance speeches on it. The content was mainly words of thanks to the teammates, the coaching team, and the club. Brand new vibe.
Obviously the club has prepared a standard answer in advance.
But the press officer also said that this is just a reminder, and you can say whatever you want on this basis.
It can be seen from Totti's calm expression that the ambassador of the Club of Rome is no stranger to this kind of cliché speech after winning the award.
After finishing the interview, Chen Xiaoliang and Totti, holding the trophy, went to the restaurant.
"Although two days have passed, I was still shocked when I saw the replay of that free kick!" Can't hide my excitement.
After listening to it, Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: You are excited... I am so excited too...
"Daniele (De Rossi) told me that Gerrard once taught you many things, such as long passes and long shots. Could it be that he also taught this free kick?"
Looking at Totti's tone, it seems that he doesn't believe it at all.
Whatever happened to Chen Xiaoliang now, he pushed it to Gerrard. The year he was in the Rangers, it became his secret training camp, and Gerrard was the omnipotent super mentor who could teach everything.
"Yeah, I live with him, and he will teach me everything when I'm free."
Yes, that's true, even he wants to give his daughter to me...
"Really? Well, he is really a great player." Totti still expressed his surprise.
As two legendary players who rejected Real Madrid again and again at the peak of their careers, the two who are not very familiar have a good impression of each other.
However, unlike De Rossi who regards Gerrard as an idol, although Totti, who is an agent at the moment, has not picked up the coach like Gerrard, he does not think that in his time, there are few players in the world who are better than him. better.
"Chen, I heard that you always practice extra after training. After training this afternoon, how about I do some activities with you?"
Faced with Totti's sudden invitation, Chen Xiaoliang of course nodded in agreement.
After practicing the offense for an hour and a half in the afternoon, and the transition from defense to offense, Mourinho let the players go home on time.
Chen Xiaoliang's five-member team—he, Wu Lei, Abraham, Sesco and the third goalkeeper Boll stayed for extra training again, but Abraham had some discomfort in his hamstring and only did recovery stretching on the sidelines.
Totti, who had been watching Mourinho directing the training from the sidelines this afternoon, also put on his training uniform and joined in.
Totti, who is 45 years old and has been away from daily training for a long time, of course cannot fight against this group of "children" in his eyes. He is more concerned with feeding them the ball, directing the running position and so on.
Chen Xiaoliang played more of the role of the last defender in front of Ball, and the others passed around the pole, ran out of space, and looked for space to shoot under his defense.
Watching Chen Xiaoliang's defensive ability at close range once again allowed Totti to refresh his senses.
He silently marveled in his heart. In terms of defense alone, not to mention the 17-year-old De Rossi, even the 27-year-old De Rossi can't compare with this red country boy.
The few players in front of them couldn't get any bargain at all in one-on-one.
such a pity!I am already 45 years old, if I am 20 years younger, I really want to go up and try it myself!
But... when it was Chen Xiaoliang's turn to attack, Totti also dropped his jaw in shock!
Is this guy really the "offensive genius" who kicked a super arc free kick and scored a shocking long shot? !
10 out of 4 long passes can't find the player, but the pass is accurate every time, flying towards the striker like a ball with long eyes. What kind of operation is this? !
There is also shooting... I didn't see that this is a player with excellent footwork.
Totti couldn't figure it out, and finally he could only come to one conclusion:
This kid has reservations in front of me!Don't want to deliberately show off your skills to me!
He has seen this too much, and the kids in the youth training team often show themselves vigorously after meeting Totti.
All kinds of cycling, oxtails, flower-arranging passes, in short, they are trying their best to show their skills.
And these moves will only offend older players because most of them are not practical on the pitch, and no professional club wants to let ten other players watch a first-timer in an official game Opportunity's little players are there to show off their skills.
If there is, this person will either lose his qualifications to play soon, or he is on the road to becoming the king of the ball.
Seeing that several other people were accustomed to Chen Xiaoliang's performance, Totti also pretended to be calm.
However, after one hour of extra practice, he still taught a few people a lot of practical tips and experiences, especially repeatedly demonstrated and explained his signature moves to several forwards - lob shots from outside the penalty area and penalty kicks with a spoon.
His lob shot from outside the penalty area is in a quick counterattack. When the opponent's goalkeeper is positioned relatively forward, it has a very lethal effect, but it also requires relatively high control of footwork and strength.
In short no matter what, Totti and several young people who have not been active for a long time are very happy.
Take a day off, and the time has come to the evening of November 11th.
In the fourth round of the Europa League Group G group stage, Roma will play against Mulla at home. The start time is set at 22:[-] Rome time.
Compared to the match against AC Milan, the buses from both sides did not cause much disturbance when they drove into the stadium, especially on Mullah's side, there were very few fans traveling with the team, there were only more than 30 diehard fans, and Some Slovenians living in Italy bought tickets, and the seats were scattered among the home team fans.
But Mourinho, who finally doesn't have to sit in the audience anymore, doesn't want this game to turn into a boring cutscene.
The character of the Portuguese is to make things happen when there is nothing to do, and to make things bigger when things are not.
For this "mowing" game that is inevitable and has no suspense in the eyes of Roma fans, he once again made amazing words in the pre-match press conference.
When the reporter asked him whether the goals set by the club this season had been adjusted in view of the recent good results, he smiled and replied: "I come everywhere for the championship. Maybe you will say that Tottenham is an exception, but If I hadn't left the club at that ludicrous time, there would surely be another Carling Cup trophy in Tottenham's trophy cabinet."
"Jose, do you mean the Serie A champion? Or the Coppa Italia champion? Or the Europa League champion?"
Mourinho showed his trademark sly smile: "Guess."
However, in the player tunnel, a reporter from Corriere dello Sport caught Chen Xiaoliang who was queuing up to enter the stadium again, and asked him what he thought of Mourinho's words.
At this time, many players turned their heads, waiting to hear Chen Xiaoliang's answer.
At the urging of the fourth official, the players in front have already started to enter the field.
Chen Xiaoliang left only one sentence before leaving: "Yes, we are fighting for the championship."
