Chapter 204 A Penalty Kick More Precious Than Gold
Not long after the kick-off was resumed, the game ended at the referee's whistle.
Although at the beginning of this season, UEFA has completely canceled the rules for determining the outcome of home and away goals, but a 0-4 loss at home already means that the Celtics are completely out of the European war this season.
Unlike the rest of the players, Captain Callum glumly walked straight into the tunnel instead of staying on the pitch to greet the Roma players and coach.
But Joe Hart, despite swallowing four balls, still graciously shook hands with his opponents one by one.
When shaking hands with Chen Xiaoliang, Joe Hart first congratulated, and then mentioned Shen Mengyu.
A group of red country women's football players began to study abroad after the Tokyo Olympics, some went to the United States, Australia, and more came to Europe.
The arrival of Shen Mengyu has more or less attracted a wave of attention in the Red Country. The Celtics club specially asked Joe Hart, the most well-known player in the team, to film an interview with Shen Mengyu, chatting about life, training, Language adaptation and integration, etc.
The two became friends because of this, and they even chatted with the hot Chen Xiaoliang.
This is the first season for Joe Hart to come to the Celtics. With a rich career experience, he is naturally not too sensitive to the century-old grievances between the Celtics and the Rangers, and Chen Xiaoliang has already moved to Rome. Joe Hart, who has just arrived, will not be regarded as the sworn enemy of his old club.
The two just walked on the court and chatted while talking and laughing.
After the game, Chen Xiaoliang simply changed and washed in the locker room, but Chen Xiaoliang did not go back to the hotel with the team.
Guided by the security guards, he came to the box on the second floor of the stands, where Celtic club owners Banker, Shen Mengyu, and Shen Menglu had long been waiting.
Seeing that Joe Hart and Chen Xiaoliang had a good relationship, Banker, the chicken thief, called him over temporarily.
It is said that it is to provide a place for old friends to "reminisce about the past", and by the way, treat Chen Xiaoliang, a "famous Su Chao", but it is actually for traffic.
Adidas, a well-known sporting goods company, is not only the jersey sponsor of the Celtics, but also Roma will replace Starbucks as the new jersey sponsor after the end of this season from July 7.
Seeing that because of arrogance, he did not send a core team to approach Riise and missed the "golden pastry" of Chen Xiaoliang, and now the gap between him and Nike in the sports market is getting bigger and bigger, and Adi can't wait. It's July 7st, so take advantage of tonight's opportunity to make a big splash on social media.
When Chen Xiaoliang saw the photographer at the side, he already knew the general idea in his heart.
However, he did not avoid suspicion, and he should also support the two women's football fellows.
The three ate, drank and chatted for a long time, and the photographer was also very measured, just took a few group photos and did not disturb their conversation.
Compared with the shy but generous Shen Mengyu, Shen Menglu, who did not achieve well in Portugal and hoped that "trees will die and people will live" and come to Suchao to change the situation, is much shyer.
In his eyes, Joe Hart and Chen Xiaoliang, especially Chen Xiaoliang, are like stars in the sky, appearing beside him at this moment, feels unreal like a dream.
She was so shy that she blushed all the time, and she was too embarrassed to say anything.
Chen Xiaoliang told her that when she came to Glasgow on the first day of the year before last, when she saw Gerrard picking her up like a taxi driver at the airport, she wondered if she had fallen asleep and hadn't woken up yet.
But in a flash, not only has the Rangers' season turned over, but the first season in Serie A only has the last two months left.
Joe Hart, who sat on the side, could not help thinking about his career while listening to their chat.
Chatting and chatting gradually turned into two girls discussing various aspects of the Su Chao women's football team, while Chen Xiaoliang was chatting with Joe Hart about the Premier League.
In this regard, Joe Hart is very vocal.
Although he has left, his resource channels, his former teammates, and many other friends are still in the Premier League.
In his mouth, Guardiola is a rare genius coach, but since working with Mourinho at Tottenham, he found that the two people with very different tactical ideas are even highly consistent at a certain point.
It's ego.
Joe Hart told Chen Xiaoliang that the intensity of Guardiola's training to the players in the team completely overwhelmed Mourinho, although the former was relatively kind when he was outside, while the latter liked to bicker with reporters at press conferences.
But as long as there is something that makes Guardiola dissatisfied during training or games, he will scold the players very severely and scold the players.
Not only that, throwing water bottles, balls, markers, towels, tactical boards, banging tables, locker doors, and folding chairs are all commonplace.
Especially when the midfielder is in the locker room, once the situation is unfavorable, he will ask all the players not to make any noise after he enters the locker room. Once he sees someone whispering or absent-minded, he will inevitably face a storm.
Joe Hart said he had never seen Sir Alex Ferguson's "hairdryer", but Guardiola's anger was enough to make a player remember him for life.
However, it is precisely because of such strict tactical requirements and ruthless player management that he believes that it will be difficult for any team in the Premier League to fully compete with Manchester City in a short period of time.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal each have their strengths and problems.
Although Liverpool and Chelsea have achieved good results from time to time, they cannot compare with Manchester City in terms of stability. Although Arsenal have invested sharply in the last two seasons, they have been far away from the championship for a long time. It is still difficult to stand out in the BIG6. little difficulty.
As for Manchester United, the short honeymoon effect after Ronaldo's return not only exceeded the expectations of the fans, but also exceeded the expectations of the Premier League teams.
The reasons for this are complicated. Rangnick is more like a butler, a temporary worker who Manchester United couldn't find a suitable head coach and came here temporarily.
Once upon a time, Guardiola suggested very seriously that the club could introduce Ronaldo to improve the scoring efficiency in the penalty area, but now, they have reached an agreement with Dortmund to introduce the young Haaland next season.
Despite Joe Hart's bad personal relationship with Guardiola, and even though things have passed for so many years, Chen Xiaoliang can still hear that Joe Hart still cannot hide his love for the current Manchester City owner. Coach's distaste.
Here's what Joe Hart's last words said:
"Mourinho is about to turn 60, and I have been with him for a year. He is undoubtedly a genius, but his personality is too distinct. It is a pity that Levi is not the boss who is willing to believe in him unconditionally and will not give him long enough. Time to transform the team according to your own wishes."
"Maybe the new boss in Rome is willing, but football is always a business, and people in the football circle will always be determined by businessmen and politicians outside the circle."
"You are also a genius. There is no doubt that I am not saying this because you beat me today. I have seen your ball before. It is absolutely unbelievable that a player can do it at the age of 17."
"Rome will not be your end, but you still need to prove that you can do better, good enough to be the only top [-], top [-], or even top [-] on the planet, and you can enjoy it in those giants. To where you are now on and off the pitch in Rome."
"Guardiola is indeed very successful, but all of this is inseparable from the Middle Easterners waving oil banknotes, and it is also inseparable from CEO Soriano and Director Begiristan. Almost every player Pep Guardiola wanted came in, whether that person was 25, 20 or 15, while deftly keeping the salary structure right."
"I know Manchester City want to buy you, but that doesn't mean you will succeed there. In Guardiola's standard, the standard of a player is whether he can integrate into his tactical system and complete the system. assigned responsibilities."
"Otherwise, even if you are Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure, you have to go."
"Don't look at Aguero crying bitterly with him when he finally retired. There were fierce disputes between the two of them."
"The pace of football is getting faster and faster now. The reason why De Bruyne can pass those incredible lines when passing the ball is because under Guardiola's tactical system, those pre-arranged areas on the field must be Somebody has to run in."
"De Bruyne just needs to pass the ball in those areas accurately."
"That's why Sterling, even the security guard at the Etihad knows that he likes to masturbate, but he still gets the starting lineup, because he can run, and he can always appear where Guardiola needs him to appear. "
"Of course, Aguero compromised in the end and got what he wanted."
"but me…"
When Joe Hart said this, he waved his hand lightly, meaning "stop talking".
"Good luck."
Chen Xiaoliang nodded and shook hands with him to thank him:
"Good luck to you too."
But before leaving, Chen Xiaoliang said to the photographer of the Celtics:
"Photos can be used, but any modification must be subject to my consent."
That night, Adidas and the Celtics posted a photo on their official social accounts at the same time:
【Shen welcomes his compatriots from the Red Country】
In the photo is a group photo of four people standing side by side, smiling and cheering.
However, sharp-eyed fans still found that the pair of Red Star Erke "Conqueror" generation on Chen Xiaoliang's feet is still wearing, and they are very eye-catching. Although the LOGO on the side cannot be seen, the shape is clearly there.
That's because Chen Xiaoliang didn't agree with them sending only half-length photos, and he didn't agree to crop the full-body photos.
Adi's staff was even willing to pay, and Chen Xiaoliang asked Riise to reply "disagree".
No way, in the end I had to choose one that couldn’t see the LOGO and send it out.
In this European Cup, Chen Xiaoliang received a total of 11 skill points as basic rewards, which also included the rewards for his 1 goal and 1 assist in this game.
Counting the 1.5 times the prestige of the Celtics and the double bonus of the European war this season, a total of 33 skill points have been obtained.
However, UEFA still awarded the best player of the game to Sesco, who fell into the super barb.
Skill value 66→99
One point away from unlocking the next skill!
The next day, without delay, the team flew directly from Scotland to Udine, a city in northeastern Italy, for an away league game against Udinese.
There was only one and a half days of rest in the middle, and they still played long-distance away games continuously, which made the team miserable.
Mourinho had to rotate players on a large scale.
On the forward line, Abraham, Mkhitaryan, and Gyan, who had a break in the European Cup, started;
In the midfield, Cristante and Volpato, who has performed well recently, form a double midfielder, with Pellegrini at the front;
Defenders from left to right, Malaysia, Ibanez, Mancini.
After much consideration at the right back position, Mourinho still asked Forti to call Karlsdorp over urgently.
Although there is still no one-on-one communication in private, Karlsdorp's attitude has improved somewhat, and he has also shown a lot of enthusiasm on the training ground.
On the evening of March 3th, almost back-to-back games, at the 13-seat Friuli Stadium, Roma once again demonstrated their ability to surround others but not score.
Even the local media in Italy have summed up a rule. This season, when Roma has more than 60% of the ball in the league, there is usually only one goal, and when the ball is less than 1%, the goal You can come to 40.
On the contrary, Udinese, who was under pressure, frequently used quick counterattacks to test the four defenders of Rome.
Udinese's 18-year-old left wingback Udogi was more mature than in the first half of the season half a year ago, but his worth has reached 2200 million euros, and Udinese has priced him at 6000 million. Mourinho Although Ao likes it, he also knows that he is destined to miss it.
Invisibly, Karlsdorp, who was still looking ahead and ignoring the future, had fought a lot, but he still scored a big negative score in Mourinho's heart.
When he told Foti in a calm tone to ask Pinto to sell Karlsdorp in the summer window, Foti knew that the Dutchman was completely sentenced to death in the team.
In the 34th minute, Udinese took a corner kick from the right. Karlsdorp tried his best to clear the ball with a header, but he didn't go far.
The latter swung a powerful left-footed shot that arced from the left side through a mass of players in the center of the penalty area, and flew into the goal before Fozzato's outstretched right hand could reach it.
Udinese took the lead at home.
Since then, the situation on the court has further reversed.
Wearing a black and white jersey, Udinese seems to have become Roma. An Xin shrinks to the penalty area and counterattacks with long passes as soon as he gets the ball.
Roma in the red jersey is like the flow of the ball, from left to right, from right to left, just can't find a gap to get in.
The head coach of Udinese, Theofi, who was born in 1975, has always been mixed in low-level clubs and downstream clubs in the league.
On the court, it is normal for him not to have the ball and not to shoot. As long as he can earn points, he can be ashamed.
It's not that Roma has never tried to lure Udinese out, but no matter how the midfielder moves back, he is like a king of iron, who shrinks his head in an iron shell and hides in his own penalty area, but if you rush over, He sticks his head out and tries to bite you.
After playing an inexplicable and helpless siege in the first half, Mourinho could only send a group of experts in the second half to bombard Udinese's penalty area with crosses and long shots.
The problem is that Roma wants to maintain their position in the top four and at the same time hit the long-lost champion, but Udinese managed to rank 14th, 8 points away from the relegation zone, but they dare not be careless. If you work hard to get more points, even if it is 1 point, you can survive the qualification to stay in Serie A next season.
Even though Pellegrini and Chen Xiaoliang made crosses, their feet hurt, and Cesco and Abraham jumped up and down to the top, thinking that they were basketball players. Facing a group of central defenders with a height of 190 and above, and With a height of 180 and a midfielder weighing more than 85 kilograms, Rome still can't find any opportunities in the frontcourt.
In the 67th minute, Theofi even replaced Deulofeu and added a midfielder, the German Samara Dech, to play a 5-4-1, in which all 4 midfielders were A super iron barrel formation for defensive midfielders.
Mourinho complained in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about Udinese.
Everyone knows that defense is not about having a lot of people, and it must be useful to put a bus. If it can be defended by putting a bus, the championship that Mourinho can win has long been unprecedented.
The problem is only that Rome has always lacked the ability to attack tough problems.
Abraham Kong has a height of 194, but he is not good at being a stand-up center. Although Sesco has the tendency to become the Serie A air dominance, but a bare telephone pole stands in a forest, and after all, two fists are no match for four hands.
The cross didn't work, and the long shot didn't land.
Pellegrini, Wellertou, and Christante tried in turn, but their long-range shooting accuracy was like the magical swordsmanship of the protagonist of a novel with a certain surname, sometimes not working.
Here is a collection, it seems that the long-range shooting level is superb, but in the final analysis, after kicking too much, you can always get one kick or two.
What's more, Udinese has four midfielders in front of the penalty area.
Take a long shot from almost anywhere and there will be at least one person blocking you.
In the last 10 minutes of the game, Chen Xiaoliang didn't care about the emptiness of the defense, so he let the two full-backs stay in the backcourt, and went up to try his luck.
In the 94th minute, with less than 1 minute left in stoppage time, Pellegrini cut in from the left and hit Udinese captain Roberto Pereira with a rebound When he came back, Chen Xiaoliang headed back to the defense forward Beto to grab the ball and lobbed it to Sesco in the penalty area.
At this time, the target of his pass will only be Cesko, who has a tacit connection bonus, to ensure that the attributes and success rate of the pass can be maximized.
Cesco used all his strength to carry the two central defenders who had entangled him for the entire second half and ran towards the ball's landing point, but the ball was still destroyed by Dutch central defender Zeheral.
But at that moment, Abraham, Kristante behind Sesco and the fans of the visiting team behind the goal all raised their hands!
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
The scene that followed has been repeated countless times in many games.
While constantly raising their hands and yelling to the referee to appeal to the referee for a penalty kick, they kept shaking their hands to block the opposing player who appealed, and loudly reprimanded the opponent for being unsportsmanlike and trying to cheat a penalty kick.
Fortunately, there is still VAR in Serie A. Although it is as ineffective as Rome's long-range shots, it cannot be so thick-skinned that it is always ineffective.
It took more than 4 minutes, the referee ran to the sidelines and looked at the small screen again and again, and finally came back and awarded Rome a golden life-saving penalty.
Pellegrini, who started the game and wore the captain's armband, had a brief discussion with Chen Xiaoliang, then picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot.
He didn't even think about the captain, locker room leader, tactical core, etc.
The birth of a native of the Red Country made him realize that he was only 25 years old and had to face intense employment pressure.
But after he overcame the unwillingness and complaints that remained before, he calmed down and was delighted to see the unprecedented combat effectiveness and cohesion of this team in recent years.
The second place in the league, the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, and the Europa League has also entered the quarter-finals with one foot.
Although it is not a complete rise, it has greatly exceeded the pre-match expectations.
He himself knew very well that if it wasn't for the arrival of Mourinho, Chen Xiaoliang's rapid growth, or the arrival of newcomers like Patricio, Abraham, Cesco, Malacia, Celik, Matic, etc. , This team may still be struggling to reach the top 6 in the league and qualify for the Europa League.
Standing on the wall, no desire is just.
Roma No. 7 breathed a sigh of relief, aiming at the lower right corner of the goal for a run-up.
One step, two steps, three steps, leg lift, shoot!
After scoring the goal, there was no celebration or yelling. He immediately rushed to the goal and picked up the ball. He even wanted to quickly return to the center circle and grab another chance to attack.
However, the referee blew the final whistle immediately.
Chen Xiaoliang came over, jumped up from behind Pellegrini, put his arms around him and his legs together, and hung on his back.
Pellegrini was taken aback, only to see Chen Xiaoliang pointing at himself to the away Roma fans.
The surrounding team members also came over upon seeing this.
Some patted his shoulder, some touched his head.
It was a late goal celebration.
Although Mourinho was unwilling, he also applauded from the sidelines.
At that moment, Pellegrini was relieved.
He felt Chen Xiaoliang's weight, not just physically.
He also felt the need of his teammates, not just on the surface.
Just like at this moment, isn't it what you should do when you are playing with your young teammates behind your back?
Use my power to lift you to a higher place.
It also allows the team to go further.
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Sister Yousan is as stable as poi] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Yiyang 233] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Fire Sky Sword Emperor] for the monthly ticket!
(End of this chapter)
Not long after the kick-off was resumed, the game ended at the referee's whistle.
Although at the beginning of this season, UEFA has completely canceled the rules for determining the outcome of home and away goals, but a 0-4 loss at home already means that the Celtics are completely out of the European war this season.
Unlike the rest of the players, Captain Callum glumly walked straight into the tunnel instead of staying on the pitch to greet the Roma players and coach.
But Joe Hart, despite swallowing four balls, still graciously shook hands with his opponents one by one.
When shaking hands with Chen Xiaoliang, Joe Hart first congratulated, and then mentioned Shen Mengyu.
A group of red country women's football players began to study abroad after the Tokyo Olympics, some went to the United States, Australia, and more came to Europe.
The arrival of Shen Mengyu has more or less attracted a wave of attention in the Red Country. The Celtics club specially asked Joe Hart, the most well-known player in the team, to film an interview with Shen Mengyu, chatting about life, training, Language adaptation and integration, etc.
The two became friends because of this, and they even chatted with the hot Chen Xiaoliang.
This is the first season for Joe Hart to come to the Celtics. With a rich career experience, he is naturally not too sensitive to the century-old grievances between the Celtics and the Rangers, and Chen Xiaoliang has already moved to Rome. Joe Hart, who has just arrived, will not be regarded as the sworn enemy of his old club.
The two just walked on the court and chatted while talking and laughing.
After the game, Chen Xiaoliang simply changed and washed in the locker room, but Chen Xiaoliang did not go back to the hotel with the team.
Guided by the security guards, he came to the box on the second floor of the stands, where Celtic club owners Banker, Shen Mengyu, and Shen Menglu had long been waiting.
Seeing that Joe Hart and Chen Xiaoliang had a good relationship, Banker, the chicken thief, called him over temporarily.
It is said that it is to provide a place for old friends to "reminisce about the past", and by the way, treat Chen Xiaoliang, a "famous Su Chao", but it is actually for traffic.
Adidas, a well-known sporting goods company, is not only the jersey sponsor of the Celtics, but also Roma will replace Starbucks as the new jersey sponsor after the end of this season from July 7.
Seeing that because of arrogance, he did not send a core team to approach Riise and missed the "golden pastry" of Chen Xiaoliang, and now the gap between him and Nike in the sports market is getting bigger and bigger, and Adi can't wait. It's July 7st, so take advantage of tonight's opportunity to make a big splash on social media.
When Chen Xiaoliang saw the photographer at the side, he already knew the general idea in his heart.
However, he did not avoid suspicion, and he should also support the two women's football fellows.
The three ate, drank and chatted for a long time, and the photographer was also very measured, just took a few group photos and did not disturb their conversation.
Compared with the shy but generous Shen Mengyu, Shen Menglu, who did not achieve well in Portugal and hoped that "trees will die and people will live" and come to Suchao to change the situation, is much shyer.
In his eyes, Joe Hart and Chen Xiaoliang, especially Chen Xiaoliang, are like stars in the sky, appearing beside him at this moment, feels unreal like a dream.
She was so shy that she blushed all the time, and she was too embarrassed to say anything.
Chen Xiaoliang told her that when she came to Glasgow on the first day of the year before last, when she saw Gerrard picking her up like a taxi driver at the airport, she wondered if she had fallen asleep and hadn't woken up yet.
But in a flash, not only has the Rangers' season turned over, but the first season in Serie A only has the last two months left.
Joe Hart, who sat on the side, could not help thinking about his career while listening to their chat.
Chatting and chatting gradually turned into two girls discussing various aspects of the Su Chao women's football team, while Chen Xiaoliang was chatting with Joe Hart about the Premier League.
In this regard, Joe Hart is very vocal.
Although he has left, his resource channels, his former teammates, and many other friends are still in the Premier League.
In his mouth, Guardiola is a rare genius coach, but since working with Mourinho at Tottenham, he found that the two people with very different tactical ideas are even highly consistent at a certain point.
It's ego.
Joe Hart told Chen Xiaoliang that the intensity of Guardiola's training to the players in the team completely overwhelmed Mourinho, although the former was relatively kind when he was outside, while the latter liked to bicker with reporters at press conferences.
But as long as there is something that makes Guardiola dissatisfied during training or games, he will scold the players very severely and scold the players.
Not only that, throwing water bottles, balls, markers, towels, tactical boards, banging tables, locker doors, and folding chairs are all commonplace.
Especially when the midfielder is in the locker room, once the situation is unfavorable, he will ask all the players not to make any noise after he enters the locker room. Once he sees someone whispering or absent-minded, he will inevitably face a storm.
Joe Hart said he had never seen Sir Alex Ferguson's "hairdryer", but Guardiola's anger was enough to make a player remember him for life.
However, it is precisely because of such strict tactical requirements and ruthless player management that he believes that it will be difficult for any team in the Premier League to fully compete with Manchester City in a short period of time.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal each have their strengths and problems.
Although Liverpool and Chelsea have achieved good results from time to time, they cannot compare with Manchester City in terms of stability. Although Arsenal have invested sharply in the last two seasons, they have been far away from the championship for a long time. It is still difficult to stand out in the BIG6. little difficulty.
As for Manchester United, the short honeymoon effect after Ronaldo's return not only exceeded the expectations of the fans, but also exceeded the expectations of the Premier League teams.
The reasons for this are complicated. Rangnick is more like a butler, a temporary worker who Manchester United couldn't find a suitable head coach and came here temporarily.
Once upon a time, Guardiola suggested very seriously that the club could introduce Ronaldo to improve the scoring efficiency in the penalty area, but now, they have reached an agreement with Dortmund to introduce the young Haaland next season.
Despite Joe Hart's bad personal relationship with Guardiola, and even though things have passed for so many years, Chen Xiaoliang can still hear that Joe Hart still cannot hide his love for the current Manchester City owner. Coach's distaste.
Here's what Joe Hart's last words said:
"Mourinho is about to turn 60, and I have been with him for a year. He is undoubtedly a genius, but his personality is too distinct. It is a pity that Levi is not the boss who is willing to believe in him unconditionally and will not give him long enough. Time to transform the team according to your own wishes."
"Maybe the new boss in Rome is willing, but football is always a business, and people in the football circle will always be determined by businessmen and politicians outside the circle."
"You are also a genius. There is no doubt that I am not saying this because you beat me today. I have seen your ball before. It is absolutely unbelievable that a player can do it at the age of 17."
"Rome will not be your end, but you still need to prove that you can do better, good enough to be the only top [-], top [-], or even top [-] on the planet, and you can enjoy it in those giants. To where you are now on and off the pitch in Rome."
"Guardiola is indeed very successful, but all of this is inseparable from the Middle Easterners waving oil banknotes, and it is also inseparable from CEO Soriano and Director Begiristan. Almost every player Pep Guardiola wanted came in, whether that person was 25, 20 or 15, while deftly keeping the salary structure right."
"I know Manchester City want to buy you, but that doesn't mean you will succeed there. In Guardiola's standard, the standard of a player is whether he can integrate into his tactical system and complete the system. assigned responsibilities."
"Otherwise, even if you are Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure, you have to go."
"Don't look at Aguero crying bitterly with him when he finally retired. There were fierce disputes between the two of them."
"The pace of football is getting faster and faster now. The reason why De Bruyne can pass those incredible lines when passing the ball is because under Guardiola's tactical system, those pre-arranged areas on the field must be Somebody has to run in."
"De Bruyne just needs to pass the ball in those areas accurately."
"That's why Sterling, even the security guard at the Etihad knows that he likes to masturbate, but he still gets the starting lineup, because he can run, and he can always appear where Guardiola needs him to appear. "
"Of course, Aguero compromised in the end and got what he wanted."
"but me…"
When Joe Hart said this, he waved his hand lightly, meaning "stop talking".
"Good luck."
Chen Xiaoliang nodded and shook hands with him to thank him:
"Good luck to you too."
But before leaving, Chen Xiaoliang said to the photographer of the Celtics:
"Photos can be used, but any modification must be subject to my consent."
That night, Adidas and the Celtics posted a photo on their official social accounts at the same time:
【Shen welcomes his compatriots from the Red Country】
In the photo is a group photo of four people standing side by side, smiling and cheering.
However, sharp-eyed fans still found that the pair of Red Star Erke "Conqueror" generation on Chen Xiaoliang's feet is still wearing, and they are very eye-catching. Although the LOGO on the side cannot be seen, the shape is clearly there.
That's because Chen Xiaoliang didn't agree with them sending only half-length photos, and he didn't agree to crop the full-body photos.
Adi's staff was even willing to pay, and Chen Xiaoliang asked Riise to reply "disagree".
No way, in the end I had to choose one that couldn’t see the LOGO and send it out.
In this European Cup, Chen Xiaoliang received a total of 11 skill points as basic rewards, which also included the rewards for his 1 goal and 1 assist in this game.
Counting the 1.5 times the prestige of the Celtics and the double bonus of the European war this season, a total of 33 skill points have been obtained.
However, UEFA still awarded the best player of the game to Sesco, who fell into the super barb.
Skill value 66→99
One point away from unlocking the next skill!
The next day, without delay, the team flew directly from Scotland to Udine, a city in northeastern Italy, for an away league game against Udinese.
There was only one and a half days of rest in the middle, and they still played long-distance away games continuously, which made the team miserable.
Mourinho had to rotate players on a large scale.
On the forward line, Abraham, Mkhitaryan, and Gyan, who had a break in the European Cup, started;
In the midfield, Cristante and Volpato, who has performed well recently, form a double midfielder, with Pellegrini at the front;
Defenders from left to right, Malaysia, Ibanez, Mancini.
After much consideration at the right back position, Mourinho still asked Forti to call Karlsdorp over urgently.
Although there is still no one-on-one communication in private, Karlsdorp's attitude has improved somewhat, and he has also shown a lot of enthusiasm on the training ground.
On the evening of March 3th, almost back-to-back games, at the 13-seat Friuli Stadium, Roma once again demonstrated their ability to surround others but not score.
Even the local media in Italy have summed up a rule. This season, when Roma has more than 60% of the ball in the league, there is usually only one goal, and when the ball is less than 1%, the goal You can come to 40.
On the contrary, Udinese, who was under pressure, frequently used quick counterattacks to test the four defenders of Rome.
Udinese's 18-year-old left wingback Udogi was more mature than in the first half of the season half a year ago, but his worth has reached 2200 million euros, and Udinese has priced him at 6000 million. Mourinho Although Ao likes it, he also knows that he is destined to miss it.
Invisibly, Karlsdorp, who was still looking ahead and ignoring the future, had fought a lot, but he still scored a big negative score in Mourinho's heart.
When he told Foti in a calm tone to ask Pinto to sell Karlsdorp in the summer window, Foti knew that the Dutchman was completely sentenced to death in the team.
In the 34th minute, Udinese took a corner kick from the right. Karlsdorp tried his best to clear the ball with a header, but he didn't go far.
The latter swung a powerful left-footed shot that arced from the left side through a mass of players in the center of the penalty area, and flew into the goal before Fozzato's outstretched right hand could reach it.
Udinese took the lead at home.
Since then, the situation on the court has further reversed.
Wearing a black and white jersey, Udinese seems to have become Roma. An Xin shrinks to the penalty area and counterattacks with long passes as soon as he gets the ball.
Roma in the red jersey is like the flow of the ball, from left to right, from right to left, just can't find a gap to get in.
The head coach of Udinese, Theofi, who was born in 1975, has always been mixed in low-level clubs and downstream clubs in the league.
On the court, it is normal for him not to have the ball and not to shoot. As long as he can earn points, he can be ashamed.
It's not that Roma has never tried to lure Udinese out, but no matter how the midfielder moves back, he is like a king of iron, who shrinks his head in an iron shell and hides in his own penalty area, but if you rush over, He sticks his head out and tries to bite you.
After playing an inexplicable and helpless siege in the first half, Mourinho could only send a group of experts in the second half to bombard Udinese's penalty area with crosses and long shots.
The problem is that Roma wants to maintain their position in the top four and at the same time hit the long-lost champion, but Udinese managed to rank 14th, 8 points away from the relegation zone, but they dare not be careless. If you work hard to get more points, even if it is 1 point, you can survive the qualification to stay in Serie A next season.
Even though Pellegrini and Chen Xiaoliang made crosses, their feet hurt, and Cesco and Abraham jumped up and down to the top, thinking that they were basketball players. Facing a group of central defenders with a height of 190 and above, and With a height of 180 and a midfielder weighing more than 85 kilograms, Rome still can't find any opportunities in the frontcourt.
In the 67th minute, Theofi even replaced Deulofeu and added a midfielder, the German Samara Dech, to play a 5-4-1, in which all 4 midfielders were A super iron barrel formation for defensive midfielders.
Mourinho complained in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about Udinese.
Everyone knows that defense is not about having a lot of people, and it must be useful to put a bus. If it can be defended by putting a bus, the championship that Mourinho can win has long been unprecedented.
The problem is only that Rome has always lacked the ability to attack tough problems.
Abraham Kong has a height of 194, but he is not good at being a stand-up center. Although Sesco has the tendency to become the Serie A air dominance, but a bare telephone pole stands in a forest, and after all, two fists are no match for four hands.
The cross didn't work, and the long shot didn't land.
Pellegrini, Wellertou, and Christante tried in turn, but their long-range shooting accuracy was like the magical swordsmanship of the protagonist of a novel with a certain surname, sometimes not working.
Here is a collection, it seems that the long-range shooting level is superb, but in the final analysis, after kicking too much, you can always get one kick or two.
What's more, Udinese has four midfielders in front of the penalty area.
Take a long shot from almost anywhere and there will be at least one person blocking you.
In the last 10 minutes of the game, Chen Xiaoliang didn't care about the emptiness of the defense, so he let the two full-backs stay in the backcourt, and went up to try his luck.
In the 94th minute, with less than 1 minute left in stoppage time, Pellegrini cut in from the left and hit Udinese captain Roberto Pereira with a rebound When he came back, Chen Xiaoliang headed back to the defense forward Beto to grab the ball and lobbed it to Sesco in the penalty area.
At this time, the target of his pass will only be Cesko, who has a tacit connection bonus, to ensure that the attributes and success rate of the pass can be maximized.
Cesco used all his strength to carry the two central defenders who had entangled him for the entire second half and ran towards the ball's landing point, but the ball was still destroyed by Dutch central defender Zeheral.
But at that moment, Abraham, Kristante behind Sesco and the fans of the visiting team behind the goal all raised their hands!
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
The scene that followed has been repeated countless times in many games.
While constantly raising their hands and yelling to the referee to appeal to the referee for a penalty kick, they kept shaking their hands to block the opposing player who appealed, and loudly reprimanded the opponent for being unsportsmanlike and trying to cheat a penalty kick.
Fortunately, there is still VAR in Serie A. Although it is as ineffective as Rome's long-range shots, it cannot be so thick-skinned that it is always ineffective.
It took more than 4 minutes, the referee ran to the sidelines and looked at the small screen again and again, and finally came back and awarded Rome a golden life-saving penalty.
Pellegrini, who started the game and wore the captain's armband, had a brief discussion with Chen Xiaoliang, then picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot.
He didn't even think about the captain, locker room leader, tactical core, etc.
The birth of a native of the Red Country made him realize that he was only 25 years old and had to face intense employment pressure.
But after he overcame the unwillingness and complaints that remained before, he calmed down and was delighted to see the unprecedented combat effectiveness and cohesion of this team in recent years.
The second place in the league, the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, and the Europa League has also entered the quarter-finals with one foot.
Although it is not a complete rise, it has greatly exceeded the pre-match expectations.
He himself knew very well that if it wasn't for the arrival of Mourinho, Chen Xiaoliang's rapid growth, or the arrival of newcomers like Patricio, Abraham, Cesco, Malacia, Celik, Matic, etc. , This team may still be struggling to reach the top 6 in the league and qualify for the Europa League.
Standing on the wall, no desire is just.
Roma No. 7 breathed a sigh of relief, aiming at the lower right corner of the goal for a run-up.
One step, two steps, three steps, leg lift, shoot!
After scoring the goal, there was no celebration or yelling. He immediately rushed to the goal and picked up the ball. He even wanted to quickly return to the center circle and grab another chance to attack.
However, the referee blew the final whistle immediately.
Chen Xiaoliang came over, jumped up from behind Pellegrini, put his arms around him and his legs together, and hung on his back.
Pellegrini was taken aback, only to see Chen Xiaoliang pointing at himself to the away Roma fans.
The surrounding team members also came over upon seeing this.
Some patted his shoulder, some touched his head.
It was a late goal celebration.
Although Mourinho was unwilling, he also applauded from the sidelines.
At that moment, Pellegrini was relieved.
He felt Chen Xiaoliang's weight, not just physically.
He also felt the need of his teammates, not just on the surface.
Just like at this moment, isn't it what you should do when you are playing with your young teammates behind your back?
Use my power to lift you to a higher place.
It also allows the team to go further.
