Chapter 218 The legendary coach actually appeared at the door? !
The fans left the field one after another, and the Roma players also walked into the player tunnel one after another, preparing to go back to the locker room.
Unexpectedly and within reason, there were not many players from the two sides greeting each other after the game. Chen Xiaoliang only shook hands with Terraciano and Milenkovic who came up to show their kindness.
The referee is also facing a big enemy. In order to avoid accidents after the game, he keeps looking around with his eyes, fearing that some players will conflict again.
Mourinho was very happy. He seriously entrusted the team doctor Manara to accompany Chen Xiaoliang to the hospital for a detailed examination the next day. After learning that the arrangements had been made, he happily invited Chen Xiaoliang to participate in the post-match event later. press conference.
But before that, we have to wait for Florence's press conference to end.
Italiano did not go, but let assistant coach Nicolino go.
Faced with the media's indiscriminate bombardment, Nicolino was obviously a little bit overwhelmed, so he could only pretend to be confused, go around in circles, and talk about him from left to right.
"Is your foul what you expected?"
"Have you communicated with the opponent's players and apologized after the game?"
"Do you think that after Chen Xiaoliang leaves the field, the team will have the hope of winning the two rounds?"
"The fans are very dissatisfied with the fact that the club made a huge difference after selling Vlahovic but did not buy players of the same strength. Will the summer window continue to buy players with a profit of 5000 million euros?"
"We have seen that a large number of fans under the club's social accounts have made verbal attacks on coach Italiano and striker Cabral who missed a penalty kick. Do you have any response to this?"
"Is the injury of Nicolas Gonzalez and Saponara serious? Will it affect the former's participation in the World Cup for Argentina?"
...
And Nicolino's answer is basically: "I'm not very clear about this (or just say I don't know), I may need to go back and confirm with the club (or the head coach) before I can answer."
So the media asked for a long time, basically equating to nothing.
However, it seems that the club has given instructions, so although Nicorino doesn't know a hundred thousand things, he has a very good attitude, has a pleasant face, and answers every question (not the one asked).
Therefore, when the press conference in Florence ended, the reporters in the room naturally threw their simmering questions to the press conference in Rome, especially after seeing Chen Xiaoliang and Mourinho appear together with their masks and gauze on. , Asking questions is even more enthusiastic.
"What do you think of today's referee Dovili?"
Mourinho: "He is a responsible person. His original idea may be to make the game exciting and smooth, but it is obvious that some people are not here to play football today. He tried to prevent some things from happening. But in the end it happened. It was nice though, his toughness in the second half got the game back on track and got him off the pitch in good time when some people went crazy and overall he did a good job."
"Is Chen Xiaoliang's injury serious? Will he be allowed to rest later?"
Mourinho: "It's not serious. If it is serious, I will definitely not let him play. Whether he will rest after that depends on the schedule and the needs of the team."
"The team has reached the final, and the opponent will not know until the other semi-final tomorrow night. Do you think the chances of winning the final championship are high?"
Mourinho sneered: "This is a very naive question. No one enters the final not for the championship. No matter which Milan team, we will go all out."
Subsequently, the reporter began to question Chen Xiaoliang.
"I sent two assists today to help the team reverse, congratulations."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Thank you."
"When you were injured, your face was covered with blood. I saw that you touched your face several times and kept communicating with the team doctor. It seemed that you were confirming your injury. What was going on in your mind at that time?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I know my injury is not serious, but I want to know as soon as possible how long it will take for the wound to stop bleeding, because it will determine how quickly I can return to the game."
"Do you think Castrovilli shouldered you on purpose?"
Chen Xiaoliang paused: "I refuse to speculate, this is his business, you shouldn't ask me."
"You injured Nicholas Gonzalez and Saponara successively in the confrontation. Did you intend to fight back?"
Chen Xiaoliang had long expected that someone would ask himself this question: "I don't know what tactics the opponent has arranged. I am a Roma player, so I can't know about the opponent. Their determination to win, then I will definitely use my attitude to tell my opponents that they will never succeed.
But I want to correct you, those two players were injured in the confrontation with me, Nicholas Gonzalez kicked the sole of my shoe, and Saponara I didn't touch him at all.
And if Nicholas Gonzalez had been slower or I had been faster, he would have hit my ankle or my calf, and if that was the case, I wouldn't be able to talk to you here now . "
At this time, the reporter interjected: "I saw that Biraj had a quarrel with you about this. May I ask what did you say specifically?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I know this topic will definitely become the focus today, so I also have something to tell the outside world through you.
If these dirty things today were deliberately prepared for me by someone from the other side, then please those players from the other side who were injured and left the field should put all the blame on that person.
This kind of football will change everyone's mentality, but in the end no one will benefit, only professional players and football itself will be damaged.
You just asked me what I said in the quarrel with the opposing captain. I just told him that I don't like this kind of football, but if they like it, I will definitely stick with it to the end. It turns out that I am a person who walks the talk.
But again, my goal is to win games, but never in a dirty way. "
Compared with the minimum requirement of answering 5 questions, the master and the apprentice had already surpassed the minimum requirements, so they looked at each other and got up at the same time. The press officer in Rome immediately grasped the spirit and announced the end of the press conference to the reporters.
Take the bus back to the Trigoria base, and the players then change to their own cars to go home.
David had been waiting in the parking lot to pick him up, Wu Lei, and Sesco.
While driving, he kept criticizing Fiorentina's low-level performance tonight, angrily saying that Fiorentina's football is simply "shameless", which made Wu Lei and Chen Xiaoliang who understand the stalk laugh out loud.
The way home is very short. Trigoria is already outside the city, and there is no one there at night. It takes three turns and two turns to get home.
From a distance, Helena was seen waiting at the gate of the yard.
After entering the room, looking at Chen Xiaoliang's wound, she felt distressed, and kept saying "stop practicing, rest for a few days", Chen Xiaoliang just smiled.
After applying medicine to Chen Xiaoliang and changing the gauze, Helena said something that surprised Chen Xiaoliang.
She said that her grandpa would come to Rome to visit her the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to meet Chen Xiaoliang by the way.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't react, and asked what's the matter?
Helena just said that her grandpa likes football very much, and also likes to watch Chen Xiaoliang play football.
Chen Xiaoliang naturally agreed, facing such a small request from such a close person, there is no reason to refuse it.
He also wanted to bring back a few more sets of jerseys and souvenirs from the club and give them to this old fan from Germany.
Resting as usual the next day, Chen Xiaoliang got up to collect the mission rewards.
In addition to the basic tasks, he won the undisputed best player of the cup, plus two assists, a total of 16 skill points.
Skill value 0→16
Then there's the text and social media messages that explode after every great performance.
Riise sent a notice from Red Star Erke that the new sneakers "Conquer II" designed for him will be completed soon, and he will be invited to try them on to collect data.
At the same time, the competition photos uploaded by Riise's team on his social account received 400 million likes.
Among them was Zlatan Ibrahimovic's praise, and he left a message below "A man approved by God".
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help laughing, the old guy Ibrahimovic seemed to be giving him a compliment, but he was actually helping him pretend.
However, there is an unread text message that still makes him awe-inspiring:
"Congratulations, young man, I have asked the club to book me a ticket to the final of the Coppa Italia, the first time I will watch this historic competition live.
Good luck and hope you have a good result in the final. "
From: Sir Alex Ferguson
Oh my goodness!
This year's Coppa Italia final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The time is set for May 5. The presence of a legend like Sir Alex Ferguson will of course make his already high morale even more explosive.
Chen Xiaoliang replied quickly, inviting him to stay in Rome for one more day, so that he could fulfill his friendship as a landlord.
Not long after breakfast, the team doctor Manara came to the door and accompanied Chen Xiaoliang to the hospital for a full set of examinations, and the results showed that everything was fine.
However, Manala still suggested that he rest for three days, avoid strenuous exercise, and reapply medical gel regularly to avoid secondary infection caused by wound rupture.
Faced with the professional advice of the team doctor, Chen Xiaoliang naturally would not deliberately oppose it. Anyway, he practiced everywhere, and he could practice his legs and skills without practicing his head.
One day was fine, and at noon the next day, Helena went to the airport to pick up her grandfather, and Chen Xiaoliang specially asked David to pick them up by car.
However, after about an hour, David sent a text message from beginning to end: "Get ready."
Prepare?What are you going to do?
Chen Xiaoliang thought that the jersey and souvenirs were all ready, and the driver and bodyguard were also sent, so what else should I prepare?
After much deliberation, how about making a pot of tea?
After another half an hour, he was sitting on the sofa and swiping his phone when he heard a short horn sound outside the yard. Knowing that David had returned, he got up and went to greet him outside the door.
An old man with white hair and a high forehead slowly got out of the car. He looked very good, but Helena was still supporting him respectfully.
Chen Xiaoliang thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes, then looked again, and saw the old man smiling at him.
What the hell? !
Chen Xiaoliang looked suspiciously at Helena, only to see that she blushed and stuck out her tongue slightly.
"Nice to meet you." Seeing Chen Xiaoliang opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Grandpa stretched out his hand first and greeted.
"You... hello!" Chen Xiaoliang immediately stretched out his hands and bowed!
Helena helped her grandfather into the house, and Chen Xiaoliang hurriedly said to David: "Why didn't you tell me first?! What are you talking about?"
David looked aggrieved: "The little girl won't let me talk, for fear of delaying you."
Chen Xiaoliang's heart warmed up. Seeing that the two of them had already entered the room, he immediately said to David: "Call that guy Riser here quickly! Hurry up!"
David quickly took out his mobile phone, while Chen Xiaoliang trotted into the house.
Grandpa entered the room, looked left and right, and nodded.
Chen Xiaoliang asked Grandpa to sit down and quickly handed him hot tea.
Grandpa smiled and asked, "Red National Tea?"
Chen Xiaoliang kept nodding like a woodpecker.
Seeing his excited look, Helena couldn't help laughing.
Chen Xiaoliang: "I really can't believe that you belong to Helena..."
Grandpa took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "I am her and Erica's real grandpa."
Chen Xiaoliang still couldn't believe it: "No... this... Excuse me for asking, the two of you seem to have different surnames..."
Helena blushed.
Grandpa smiled slightly: "They are the children of my youngest son. My youngest son passed away when they were young. Their mothers remarried, so they naturally took the surname of their stepfather."
Helena lowered her head slightly.
Chen Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed and blamed himself, thinking that he had lived together for so long, but he didn't even know it!I only know about training, watching football, analyzing, and applauding for love all day long... I didn't even know about Helena's family.
Grandpa continued: "When the two of them were born, my mother happened to pass away. Her name was Erica Heathfield, so their father named their younger sister Erica, and the elder sister Helen Na was chosen by me, because I didn't know in advance that I would have twins."
Heathfield!
Heathfield! !
Heathfield! ! !
When this surname came out of the old man's own mouth, it seemed calm, but 20 years ago, this surname could make the entire German football world, no!It shocked the European football world!
Otmar Hitzfeld!
German football legend coach!
He led the team to win seven Bundesliga titles, three German Cup titles and one Toyota Cup title.
Once led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to win the Champions League in 1997 and 2001 respectively!
He is the only five coaches who have led two or more teams to win the Champions League!
The other four are famous Austrian coaches who said "History will only remember who is the champion, not those teams who played gorgeously". He led Feyenoord (1970) and Hamburg (1983) to the king Ster Happel;
Carlo Ancelotti, the famous Italian coach who led AC Milan (2003, 2007) and Real Madrid (2014) to win the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again this season;
Chen Xiaoliang's current coach, Jose Mourinho who led Porto (2004) and Inter Milan (2010) won the Champions League;
And another legendary German coach, Joseph Heynckes who led Real Madrid (1998) and Bayern Munich (2013) to win the Champions League twice!
Just when Chen Xiaoliang was stunned again and didn't know what to say, the mobile phone on the coffee table turned on, and it was Sir Alex Ferguson's reply: OK, see you in Rome.
Attracted by the ringtone, the three of them all looked down.
Heathfield was taken aback: "You know him?"
Chen Xiaoliang nodded quickly, then picked up the phone embarrassingly...
Everyone knows what happened at the Nou Camp in 1999. Manchester United used two penalty kicks at the last time to beat Bayern Munich, which was leading almost an entire game, and completed the first Treble after the Champions League restructuring.
Standing on the sidelines were Sir Alex Ferguson and Heathfield...
But soon, Heathfield noticed Chen Xiaoliang's embarrassment: "It doesn't matter, I have been retired for so many years, everything is over long ago, he is a great coach, and his career is much more successful than mine.
You don't have to be nervous, I'm only occasionally going to the TV station to explain, and the rest of the time is no different from an ordinary old man who loves to watch football. "
Chen Xiaoliang gradually came to his senses, he was not nervous, but really surprised...
But now that I think about it, it’s right. With such a powerful grandfather, it’s no wonder that the sisters are all engaged in sports work...
Naturally, the topic soon started from football, and Helena thoughtfully went to the kitchen to prepare afternoon tea and dinner.
When talking about the votes for the Copa Award and Mateus, who had been coached by Heathfield, ranked Chen Xiaoliang second, the old man seemed very relieved.
He said that Matthaus is a very proud and conceited person. He has won all the championships except the Champions League, including the World Cup and the European Cup. Although there is no Champions League, he has also won two UEFA Cups.
From a personal level, he has also won almost all important personal honors such as the World Footballer, the Golden Globe Award, the German Footballer, the best midfielder in Serie A, and the best foreign aid.
He is also the "enemy of life" personally admitted by Maradona as a player.
At the same time, as a German and a Bayern star, Chen Xiaoliang can be placed behind Bayern's Musiala and ahead of Leverkusen's Wertz, sandwiched between the two Germans, this may already be Matthaus's biggest concern for Chen Xiaoliang Approved.
At the same time, Heathfield also suggested that Chen Xiaoliang can use Matthaus and Rijkaard as templates to hone himself.
However, this legendary coach who has seen countless people does not understand one thing. He said that this is also the place where he wanted to ask Chen Xiaoliang face to face during this meeting, why Chen Xiaoliang's passing is so good, but his dribbling and small skills are not good. Very ordinary?
In normal player training, these are the comprehensive products of training with the ball. There may be some gaps, but the gap is not as big as that of Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang had no choice but to falter and say that he didn't have a good foundation, and he was seriously biased during training, and he will definitely try to catch up in the future...
The two were chatting when Riise came.
When he entered the door, he was still wondering why Chen Xiaoliang asked him to come over in a hurry, and he didn't answer his phone calls. In fact, after Sir Alex Ferguson's text message came just now, in order not to disturb Heathfield, Chen Xiaoliang called him The phone is on silent.
As a result, when he entered the door, Riise stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, and stood there in a daze!
Chen Xiaoliang hurriedly said: "This is Helena's grandpa..."
Riise blurted out without thinking: "Hi, Grandpa!"
Chen Xiaoliang patted his arm: "At your age, you still call him grandpa, aren't you afraid to call the old man old?"
Riise: "Dad! Ah...no... Xi Shuai!"
Heathfield was also taken aback, not expecting Riise to come.
After Chen Xiaoliang introduced him, he realized that Liverpool's bully on the left had become a professional agent.
The two played against each other only once in the 2001 European Super Cup. In that game, Riise played as a left midfielder, while Gerrard played a right midfielder. After he coached, his assistant coach McAllister and the German player Hamann Play double central midfielder.
Bayern's midfielders also have names such as Sarihamidzic, Sagnol and Lizarazu. The 40-year-old Matthaus left the Major League last season and has retired at this time.
In the end, Liverpool won 3-2 and also won the honor of five crowns that season.
When the three of them sat down, they had more topics to talk about.
Heathfield asked a lot about Mourinho's coaching philosophy, and Chen Xiaoliang's own views on football. He also asked Riise which players he has signed now and whether he will consider signing German players in the future.
But seeing that Chen Xiaoliang called his manager, the old man didn't keep it anymore.
He said that today, on the one hand, he really wanted to see his eldest granddaughter, whom he rarely saw after college, and on the other hand, he came to Italy to meet some old friends, and at the same time, he also wanted to meet this magical Roman midfielder in front of him.
But he did receive an unofficial invitation from his former disciple, Oliver Kahn, now chairman of the board of Bayern Munich, to Chen Xiaoliang.
Because according to FIFA's official regulations, when a player has a contract, other clubs cannot contact the player in private.
But now that the Internet is pervasive and agents are rampant everywhere, this kind of regulation has long existed in name only, and there are plenty of ways for clubs to contact players in advance through unofficial channels.
They hope that Chen Xiaoliang can ask Roma to lower their liquidated damages in the upcoming contract extension, or set a separate liquidated damages clause specifically for Bayern.
As far as they know, Harland, who was triggered by the release clause and will definitely transfer to Manchester City next season, set an exclusive release clause for Real Madrid in the new contract.
Bayern believes that Chen Xiaoliang can play a decisive role in supplementing Bayern's midfield after joining. At the same time, he will also support Bayern's midfield for the next ten years together with Musiala and Grafenberg, who will transfer to next season.
In addition, the German Football Association also informally communicated with Kahn, hoping that if Bayern can sign Chen Xiaoliang, they can help the German Football Association to naturalize him.
Both Chen Xiaoliang and Riise were taken aback. Riise said that it would take 8 years for German naturalization.
Heathfield turned his head to Helena who was busy in the kitchen: "If you and my granddaughter... then you can get permanent residence immediately. In this case, even ordinary people can be naturalized for 3 years. Based on your conditions, You can be naturalized immediately after you get permanent residence.”
"Originally, the most difficult thing for rich people is to pass the German test for naturalization, but I really didn't expect you to speak German so well. I heard that your Italian is also good?"
Chen Xiaoliang nodded, thinking that my German is better than the examiner...
However, he did not respond positively to Hitzfeld's invitation, whether it was Bayern or Germany, but said that he would consider it.
The old man was well-informed and had read countless people. He knew what was going on in his heart just by looking at Chen Xiaoliang's expression. He expressed his intention to bring it, and his granddaughter also saw it. His mission was completed, so he didn't mention it anymore.
The "family" was very happy. When they had dinner together at night, David also said that he witnessed the 1999-9 draw between Rangers and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League group match at the Ibrox Stadium on September 21, 1. 1 tie, Rangers suppressed Bayern for 89 minutes in that game, and was not equalized by Bayern until the last minute.
Football can always bring together any unrelated people in the world. Football is a common language across all corners of the country.

The fans left the field one after another, and the Roma players also walked into the player tunnel one after another, preparing to go back to the locker room.
Unexpectedly and within reason, there were not many players from the two sides greeting each other after the game. Chen Xiaoliang only shook hands with Terraciano and Milenkovic who came up to show their kindness.

"Have you communicated with the opponent's players and apologized after the game?"
"Do you think that after Chen Xiaoliang leaves the field, the team will have the hope of winning the two rounds?"
"The fans are very dissatisfied with the fact that the club made a huge difference after selling Vlahovic but did not buy players of the same strength. Will the summer window continue to buy players with a profit of 5000 million euros?"
"We have seen that a large number of fans under the club's social accounts have made verbal attacks on coach Italiano and striker Cabral who missed a penalty kick. Do you have any response to this?"
"Is the injury of Nicolas Gonzalez and Saponara serious? Will it affect the former's participation in the World Cup for Argentina?"
...
And Nicolino's answer is basically: "I'm not very clear about this (or just say I don't know), I may need to go back and confirm with the club (or the head coach) before I can answer."

David looked aggrieved: "The little girl won't let me talk, for fear of delaying you."
Chen Xiaoliang's heart warmed up. Seeing that the two of them had already entered the room, he immediately said to David: "Call that guy Riser here quickly! Hurry up!"
David quickly took out his mobile phone, while Chen Xiaoliang trotted into the house.
Grandpa entered the room, looked left and right, and nodded.
Chen Xiaoliang asked Grandpa to sit down and quickly handed him hot tea.
Grandpa smiled and asked, "Red National Tea?"
Chen Xiaoliang kept nodding like a woodpecker.
Seeing his excited look, Helena couldn't help laughing.
Chen Xiaoliang: "I really can't believe that you belong to Helena..."
Grandpa took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "I am her and Erica's real grandpa."
Chen Xiaoliang still couldn't believe it: "No... this... Excuse me for asking, the two of you seem to have different surnames..."
Helena blushed.
Grandpa smiled slightly: "They are the children of my youngest son. My youngest son passed away when they were young. Their mothers remarried, so they naturally took the surname of their stepfather."
Helena lowered her head slightly.
Chen Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed and blamed himself, thinking that he had lived together for so long, but he didn't even know it!I only know about training, watching football, analyzing, and applauding for love all day long... I didn't even know about Helena's family.
Grandpa continued: "When the two of them were born, my mother happened to pass away. Her name was Erica Heathfield, so their father named their younger sister Erica, and the elder sister Helen Na was chosen by me, because I didn't know in advance that I would have twins."
Heathfield!
Heathfield! !
Heathfield! ! !
When this surname came out of the old man's own mouth, it seemed calm, but 20 years ago, this surname could make the entire German football world, no!It shocked the European football world!
Otmar Hitzfeld!
German football legend coach!
He led the team to win seven Bundesliga titles, three German Cup titles and one Toyota Cup title.
Once led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to win the Champions League in 1997 and 2001 respectively!
He is the only five coaches who have led two or more teams to win the Champions League!
The other four are famous Austrian coaches who said "History will only remember who is the champion, not those teams who played gorgeously". He led Feyenoord (1970) and Hamburg (1983) to the king Ster Happel;
Carlo Ancelotti, the famous Italian coach who led AC Milan (2003, 2007) and Real Madrid (2014) to win the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again this season;
Chen Xiaoliang's current coach, Jose Mourinho who led Porto (2004) and Inter Milan (2010) won the Champions League;
And another legendary German coach, Joseph Heynckes who led Real Madrid (1998) and Bayern Munich (2013) to win the Champions League twice!
Just when Chen Xiaoliang was stunned again and didn't know what to say, the mobile phone on the coffee table turned on, and it was Sir Alex Ferguson's reply: OK, see you in Rome.
Attracted by the ringtone, the three of them all looked down.
Heathfield was taken aback: "You know him?"
Chen Xiaoliang nodded quickly, then picked up the phone embarrassingly...
Everyone knows what happened at the Nou Camp in 1999. Manchester United used two penalty kicks at the last time to beat Bayern Munich, which was leading almost an entire game, and completed the first Treble after the Champions League restructuring.
Standing on the sidelines were Sir Alex Ferguson and Heathfield...
But soon, Heathfield noticed Chen Xiaoliang's embarrassment: "It doesn't matter, I have been retired for so many years, everything is over long ago, he is a great coach, and his career is much more successful than mine.
You don't have to be nervous, I'm only occasionally going to the TV station to explain, and the rest of the time is no different from an ordinary old man who loves to watch football. "
Chen Xiaoliang gradually came to his senses, he was not nervous, but really surprised...
But now that I think about it, it’s right. With such a powerful grandfather, it’s no wonder that the sisters are all engaged in sports work...
Naturally, the topic soon started from football, and Helena thoughtfully went to the kitchen to prepare afternoon tea and dinner.
When talking about the votes for the Copa Award and Mateus, who had been coached by Heathfield, ranked Chen Xiaoliang second, the old man seemed very relieved.
He said that Matthaus is a very proud and conceited person. He has won all the championships except the Champions League, including the World Cup and the European Cup. Although there is no Champions League, he has also won two UEFA Cups.
From a personal level, he has also won almost all important personal honors such as the World Footballer, the Golden Globe Award, the German Footballer, the best midfielder in Serie A, and the best foreign aid.
He is also the "enemy of life" personally admitted by Maradona as a player.
At the same time, as a German and a Bayern star, Chen Xiaoliang can be placed behind Bayern's Musiala and ahead of Leverkusen's Wertz, sandwiched between the two Germans, this may already be Matthaus's biggest concern for Chen Xiaoliang Approved.
At the same time, Heathfield also suggested that Chen Xiaoliang can use Matthaus and Rijkaard as templates to hone himself.
However, this legendary coach who has seen countless people does not understand one thing. He said that this is also the place where he wanted to ask Chen Xiaoliang face to face during this meeting, why Chen Xiaoliang's passing is so good, but his dribbling and small skills are not good. Very ordinary?
In normal player training, these are the comprehensive products of training with the ball. There may be some gaps, but the gap is not as big as that of Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang had no choice but to falter and say that he didn't have a good foundation, and he was seriously biased during training, and he will definitely try to catch up in the future...
The two were chatting when Riise came.
When he entered the door, he was still wondering why Chen Xiaoliang asked him to come over in a hurry, and he didn't answer his phone calls. In fact, after Sir Alex Ferguson's text message came just now, in order not to disturb Heathfield, Chen Xiaoliang called him The phone is on silent.
As a result, when he entered the door, Riise stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, and stood there in a daze!
Chen Xiaoliang hurriedly said: "This is Helena's grandpa..."
Riise blurted out without thinking: "Hi, Grandpa!"
Chen Xiaoliang patted his arm: "At your age, you still call him grandpa, aren't you afraid to call the old man old?"
Riise: "Dad! Ah...no... Xi Shuai!"
Heathfield was also taken aback, not expecting Riise to come.
After Chen Xiaoliang introduced him, he realized that Liverpool's bully on the left had become a professional agent.
The two played against each other only once in the 2001 European Super Cup. In that game, Riise played as a left midfielder, while Gerrard played a right midfielder. After he coached, his assistant coach McAllister and the German player Hamann Play double central midfielder.
Bayern's midfielders also have names such as Sarihamidzic, Sagnol and Lizarazu. The 40-year-old Matthaus left the Major League last season and has retired at this time.
In the end, Liverpool won 3-2 and also won the honor of five crowns that season.
When the three of them sat down, they had more topics to talk about.
Heathfield asked a lot about Mourinho's coaching philosophy, and Chen Xiaoliang's own views on football. He also asked Riise which players he has signed now and whether he will consider signing German players in the future.
But seeing that Chen Xiaoliang called his manager, the old man didn't keep it anymore.
He said that today, on the one hand, he really wanted to see his eldest granddaughter, whom he rarely saw after college, and on the other hand, he came to Italy to meet some old friends, and at the same time, he also wanted to meet this magical Roman midfielder in front of him.
But he did receive an unofficial invitation from his former disciple, Oliver Kahn, now chairman of the board of Bayern Munich, to Chen Xiaoliang.
Because according to FIFA's official regulations, when a player has a contract, other clubs cannot contact the player in private.
But now that the Internet is pervasive and agents are rampant everywhere, this kind of regulation has long existed in name only, and there are plenty of ways for clubs to contact players in advance through unofficial channels.
They hope that Chen Xiaoliang can ask Roma to lower their liquidated damages in the upcoming contract extension, or set a separate liquidated damages clause specifically for Bayern.
As far as they know, Harland, who was triggered by the release clause and will definitely transfer to Manchester City next season, set an exclusive release clause for Real Madrid in the new contract.
Bayern believes that Chen Xiaoliang can play a decisive role in supplementing Bayern's midfield after joining. At the same time, he will also support Bayern's midfield for the next ten years together with Musiala and Grafenberg, who will transfer to next season.
In addition, the German Football Association also informally communicated with Kahn, hoping that if Bayern can sign Chen Xiaoliang, they can help the German Football Association to naturalize him.
Both Chen Xiaoliang and Riise were taken aback. Riise said that it would take 8 years for German naturalization.
Heathfield turned his head to Helena who was busy in the kitchen: "If you and my granddaughter... then you can get permanent residence immediately. In this case, even ordinary people can be naturalized for 3 years. Based on your conditions, You can be naturalized immediately after you get permanent residence.”
"Originally, the most difficult thing for rich people is to pass the German test for naturalization, but I really didn't expect you to speak German so well. I heard that your Italian is also good?"
Chen Xiaoliang nodded, thinking that my German is better than the examiner...
However, he did not respond positively to Hitzfeld's invitation, whether it was Bayern or Germany, but said that he would consider it.
The old man was well-informed and had read countless people. He knew what was going on in his heart just by looking at Chen Xiaoliang's expression. He expressed his intention to bring it, and his granddaughter also saw it. His mission was completed, so he didn't mention it anymore.
The "family" was very happy. When they had dinner together at night, David also said that he witnessed the 1999-9 draw between Rangers and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League group match at the Ibrox Stadium on September 21, 1. 1 tie, Rangers suppressed Bayern for 89 minutes in that game, and was not equalized by Bayern until the last minute.
Football can always bring together any unrelated people in the world. Football is a common language across all corners of the country.
