103. Champions League quarterfinals
After a night's rest, Qin Goode saw Lippi in the dining room early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey." The old Italian man, who looked like the oldest gentleman in Europe, smiled and beckoned him to sit beside him.
If it were an ordinary national football player, I am afraid that he would be more or less restrained, but for Mr. Golden Ball, he sat unceremoniously.
"Morning, Marcello." Qin Goode greeted the head coach with the breakfast he had just called, and then sat down next to him happily.
The teammates looked at where they were sitting, but none of them came closer.
Lippi's eyes swept over the plate through his gold-rimmed glasses, and then he was slightly surprised: "Is the Chinese team equipped with a special health nutritionist?" ”
Compared with him, Qin Gude was even more surprised: "It turns out that you can speak English......"
"Ordinary chats can be handled, but tactical details can't, there must be someone to translate," the old Italian man's eyes flickered slightly, "You haven't answered my question yet, Goode." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry," Qin Gude smiled, "It's my personal habit, there are only professional chefs in the team, but it's not particularly professional in terms of nutrition." He is right, the national team has a special team of chefs, and the eight major cuisines are all first-class, but they have little to do with science and health......
Although he has been paying attention to diet since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, it was a spontaneous choice, and it was not until he entered the Manchester City academy that he really began to develop a scientific and systematic diet, and when he arrived in Germany, whether it was Cartbus or Dortmund, the strict German coaches really used strict team discipline to make him remember this habit in his bone marrow, and now he is back in England, even with Ether and the two, he rarely eats greasy and fried food.
"Well, I'll ask your FA leaders to form a professional team, by the way," Lippi nodded, "Sir Alex is okay?" ”
The Silver Foxes, who once coached Juventus, and the head of the Red Devils have also played against each other, and the two may be called sympathetic, and the older Ferguson even jokingly said that he was jealous of Lippi's "charming appearance and temperament full of manly charm".
"He's good," Qin Goode pricked himself with a fork, "Manchester United have had a good season and he hasn't lost his temper much. ”
"He's just too easy to get angry." Rich, well-fed and drunk, pulled out his cigar and lighter.
"Marcello, it's a public restaurant, we're still professional players." Qin Goode mercilessly stopped the head coach's favorite pastime.
Lippi smiled bitterly and put away the lighter and sniffed the tobacco vigorously: "You are the first player to dare to talk to me like this, even the president of Juventus will not stop me from smoking." ”
Uncle Qin gave him a blank look: "Even if you are the head coach, you must abide by social morality." ”
"You're right," Lippi put the cigar back and put back the wry smile he had put on, "Let's talk about this national team, I think you will lead some rotation players to train the defense of the main squad in the next few training camps, you won't mind, right?" ”
Qin Gude couldn't help but frown.
Klopp did this at Borussia Dortmund and Ferguson at Manchester United......
Now, is it this silver fox?
My dignified Mr. Golden Ball, has I become a boss-level NPC with teammates leveling up and gaining experience?
He didn't waste time in Oman, let alone start receiving guidance from his new head coach right now, and after the game he spent only one day in West Asia, before returning to Europe after establishing a good coach-player relationship with Lippi.
In China, the waves caused by this news have just risen, but this has nothing to do with Qin Gude flying in the sky.
He was more interested in...... The local tycoon's onboard television on the flight was actually replaying the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.
The draw was smaller than the first round of the knockout round, and the host was still the bald-headed UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino.
The short videos of the teams that made it out of the round of 16 behind him are shown one by one.
Juventus swept Celtic 5-0 over two legs.
Paris Saint-Germain narrowly beat Valencia 3-2 by one goal.
Barcelona returned to Camp Nou with a 4-0 result to kick the Milan players back to the bottom with a 2-0 defeat at AC Milan, and Messi and his team-mates began to recover from a leaderless form.
Real Madrid also won 4-2 on aggregate against Schalke 04, and after being held to a draw at home, Cristiano Ronaldo proved his worth with an away hat-trick and ended his recent goal drought.
Defending champions Borussia Dortmund saw off Tottenham 5-3, and the duel between Bale and Reus entertained the neutral crowd, but Tottenham only had one first-class player, Bale, and Dort had a strong centre-forward Robert Lewandowski in addition to Reuss.
Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 3-1 at home, only to lose 2-0 at home, and finally relied on away goals to narrowly advance to show how inconsistent their form is.
In addition to the giants, Galatasaray had the last laugh in the contest with Malaga, Melo who was abandoned by the Samba Army, Ilmas, who was ignored by the world, Sneijder, who was made into various jokes because of Inter Milan's treble and led the Netherlands to the World Cup final, but was snatched into the ball by Messi, who was empty of the big four, and Drogba, who was owed wages by the Chinese Super League team and had nowhere to redress, These players who stayed away from the mainstream leagues helped the Turkish giants become the only team from outside the top five major leagues to be in the quarter-finals.
With Infantino's hands stirring, the quarterfinals were quickly lined up.
Widely regarded as the weakest of the bunch, Galatasaray was given to Mourinho as a gift package, but Turkey's hellish home stadium is no fun place for Real Madrid, which is full of turmoil and dangers.
Bayern Munich and Juventus meet in a narrow way, and the strong showdown between the two super giants of the Bundesliga and Italy is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of the quarterfinals.
Barcelona drew defending champions Borussia Dortmund, who are eager to avenge last season's dismal exit, and if Bayern's rivalry with Juventus may seem calm and less passionate because of the presence of the Old Woman, the attacking football of these two teams is sure to keep all spectators awake.
And Manchester United...... Drew the Ligue 1 tycoon Paris Saint-Germain.
Qin Goode thought of Beckham, who he had just met on the plane a few days ago, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
I'm sorry, David.
Looks like you're done here.
Back in Manchester, Chingud did not immediately see the manager and team-mates, as Ferguson had already travelled to Sunderland City with his early return disciples to prepare for the 31st round of the league.
Maybe Qin Goode was a little crow-mouthed before, Manchester United played very hard in this game, and the old man's mood was also very bad.
After 90 minutes, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie were both on fire, and the two wingers, Ashley Young and Valencia, seemed to be back to their form of not being able to pass or shoot, but fortunately the back line and goalkeeper David De Gea remained stable and did not allow the opponent to score.
Almost just as stoppage time was about to go, Robin van Persie's final strike was an own goal at the back, which allowed the Reds to walk away with a win and a valuable three points.
Such Manchester United were criticized after the game for suffering from "Chingoud dependency": when Chingoud was not on the pitch, they could not even beat the 16th-placed "Black Cat".
Ferguson can't even argue with the fact that even if his United are short of a major player, even if they are not at their peak fitness when they have just played for the national team, they still shouldn't be tough with a relegation team like Sunderland.
However, he did not make a big splash, but instead used such performances to stimulate the fighting spirit and competitiveness of the players.
"I'm giving you a chance to prove that you can still have a place at Manchester United," the old gentleman told Van Persie and Wayne Rooney, who bowed their heads on the bus back to Manchester, "and it's you guys in the Champions League quarter-finals in three days' time." ”
Three days later, the opponent was Paris Saint-Germain.
It is the Ligue 1 champions with Ibrahimovic, David Beckham, Matuidi, Ravic, Thiago Silva, Pastorere, Lucas Jr., Van der Wiel, Mane, Verratti.
Oh yes, and the former World Footballer of the Year, the Brazilian midfielder who Qin Goode most aspires to be a teammate, Kaka. (To be continued.) )
