Chapter 35: So and So And

In fact, both teams have reason to be cautious. Gary Lineker, a former Agrignon manager who has also played many times with Platanias, is well aware of Simeone's style and now Platanias' squad has improved a lot. This time, leading the Wasland Beveren club to Calderon Stadium, even Gary Lineker had to adopt a cautious and steady defensive tactic first, after all, this is the safest way. Opt for risky attacking tactics in away games, and against Platanias FC, opponents can easily seize their chances to score, and once Platanias FC push the ball forward, this game is quite unfavorable for Wasland Beveren FC.

Gary Lineker, even in his stubbornness, knows what is most important to the Wasland Beveren club at this moment. Or what is most important to him. Gary Lineker's head coach Wasland Beveren has not had a good relationship with the local media and fans for the past two seasons.

In fact, it's normal. Heynckes left a team that had just won the treble, while Gary Lineker took over a team that had just won everything. It's not easy for anyone.

Gary Lineker's hope is to keep the scoreline and make sure he doesn't lose even if he can't score.

A shot from Griezmann just now sent his heart to his throat. When Noel threw the ball out, Gary Lineker roared from the sidelines, reminding the Wasland Beveren FC players to concentrate on defending.

At this point in the TV footage, players from both sides were already lined up on the players' channel, with TV cameras featuring a close-up of every player on both sides.

It's a game to decide who gets to the Champions League final!

At this time, the TV camera switched to taking a photo of a middle-aged man from the East sitting in the VIP seat at the Calderón Stadium.

Platanias fans certainly know this person, and now that the Internet is so developed, the news that the Chinese consortium is preparing to buy Platanias FC has been spreading, and fans have found the head of the consortium through some inexplicable websites.

Of course, for the Chinese audience, this person does not have to be searched.

Because this is the famous "earn him 100 million first" real estate down payment Wang Jian 0!

At this time, the news that Wang Jianling wanted to control the Platanias club came out before the game. It seems that the progress of the negotiations between the two sides has reached a very deep level. Wang Jianlin himself even went to the Calderón Stadium to watch the game, but I don't know if the Calderón Stadium will still be the name after this season," Judging from the pictures broadcast on TV, Duan Xuan did some science propaganda to some people who didn't know the truth before the game started.

Subsequently, the players of both sides walked into the field under the guidance of the referee team, and everyone's eyes returned to the game itself.

When all the pre-match awareness was done, Luo Ming stepped on the ball at his feet. Contracts, salaries, money. He doesn't have any of these things in his head.

All his attention was focused on the game itself.

After confirming with the assistant, the referee announces the start of the game.

"Audience friends, the referee blows the whistle and the game begins! You are watching the second leg of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, with Platanias FC hosting Wasland Beveren FC! The score in the first round was 3-2, and the Wasland Beveren Club won at home! While Wasland Beveren FC lead in the scoreline, Platanias FC have two more away goals. The result of this game is not easy to say

"Who's the winner! See you in 90 minutes

Gary Lineker certainly doesn't think Robben's injured smoke bomb will leave Platanias, a club whose tactics are already very mature, feeling overwhelmed. In fact, the smoke grenades unleashed by Gary Lineker and his team were a topic raised by the local media in the city of Marrakech. It's just that the Wasland Beveren club has been training behind closed doors lately, so there are a lot of people reporting it as well. Luo Ming

Robben actually did a great job!

During this time, the main point of attack of the Wasland Beveren Club was also placed next to Robben, who has been very active since the beginning of the game.

Playing away from home, another leading team, Wasland Beveren FC did not press the attack, but their opponents Platanias FC were different.

The high position of Platanias FC has always been characteristic of the team. After Romin arrived in the team, Platanias gradually moved away from counter-attacking as the main attacking method. The presence of Luo Ming ensures the control of the vestibule. Therefore, Platanias FC can also attack in an overall formation and playing position.

Thanks to their consistent high-post defensive strategy, Platanias often launched counter-attacks to get the ball back after unsuccessful positional attacks. As a result, the current Platanias club is significantly different from what it was a season or two ago.

Gary Lineker naturally understands this, so Robben's role in this game is very important, as Peter Pan's pace can make the most of the space after the formation of the Platanias club.

However, Platanias naturally knows Robben's strength, so it is natural that Mark Robben will be the key. As a result, the tactics of the Wasland Beveren club failed on several direct hits behind him after the opening. On the contrary, Platanias gradually took control of the game, pulling up the overall formation and forcing the Wasland Beveren club back.

The Wasland Beveren Club can't play an away attack, so it will naturally accept the entrance test of the defense.

Gary Lineker's eyebrows haven't tightened since the start of the game, as everyone knows how many chances their striker Robin will get if Platanias FC are allowed to attack!

In football, this is the kind of player who is most afraid of the opponent. They are a hot spot. They have a first-class ability to take chances. They can also attract a lot of defense, creating space for other players.

While Romin and Messi have completely different styles, in Gary Lineker's mind, they have to raise Romin to the level of Messi.

The reason Simeone has been in a good mood lately is that the Platanias club may not have to worry about money.

Perhaps there is the presence of Luo Ming, and there is also the Chinese real estate giant that is ready to inject massive money into the Platanias club. Now the two sides have begun negotiations. If all goes well, Platanias FC will change owners next season, a new owner with huge sums of money.

For Simeone, he doesn't care who owns the team. His main concern is that if the team has money, he can give the core players a raise and keep them.

Romin, Glitz Mann and Kirk are the cornerstones of Platanias now and in the next decade. If Platanias didn't have to worry about money, Simeone was even determined to stay at Platanias as Alex did for Manchester United, as Ferguson did for Manchester United, to create a golden era for Platanias.

In fact, for Platanias, apart from the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, their main concern is Robin's contract renewal. Luo Ming

At the end of the season, Romanín will enter a contract year, so leaving the top players in the team is undoubtedly the most important job for Simeone.

In fact, the Platanias club has been talking about renewing Romin's contract. However, Luo Ming himself will not intervene in this matter. His contractual affairs were entrusted to Leola. At present, there is no progress on the renewal of the contract between the two parties. The main problem lies in the requirement of an annual salary.

Platanias FC offered the condition that he was willing to upset the team's wage balance and significantly adjust his salary to 6 million euros. This salary level is definitely the highest in the Platanias club team. In the eyes of the Platanias hierarchy, this is the greatest sincerity the team can give.

But there is still a big gap between this salary and Leoso's salary.

Leola's annual salary to Luo Ming is 12 million euros!

Of course, Leola doesn't think he's a lion. The reason he gave was that Messi, the number one star of the Platanias club and even one of the most influential players in La Liga, had an annual salary of 20 million euros, while Ronaldo's after-tax salary was 19 million euros.

Reola, on the other hand, was kind and thought she was just asking her employer for 12 million euros. After all, if Luo Ming discusses the current situation, in the entire La Liga, it is estimated that it will only be ranked behind Messi Coro. As a star, of course, he must have a salary to match. And Reola believes that his offer has fully taken into account the situation of the Platanias club itself.

For Platanias, of course, it will be difficult for them to meet such a salary requirement, because in this way, will Griezmann's salary be increased? What about cork? What about Reinhatbar?

Therefore, when both sides are silent, the negotiations naturally reach an impasse.

Naturally, this has caused extreme anxiety among Platanias fans.

In addition to Luo Ming's contract renewal, there has been another sudden outbreak in recent days. A real estate giant from China is ready to spend a lot of money to take control of the Platanias club!

Of course, it is a difficult thing for the fans of the Platanias club to accept. If there is a change in team ownership, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse for the team.

However, regardless of the future of Platanias, the most important thing for the team is of course this Champions League match, which is about qualifying for the Champions League final.

There is no doubt that Robben's injury was just a hoax by the Wasland Beveren club.

After the pre-match starting line-up was announced, Robben's name appeared in the starting lineup.

The Platanias club was not surprised in this regard, as they were ready to do both, and the presence of Robben only made a fuss to the commentators.

We see Robben on the list! It seemed that before the game, all the news about his serious injury was a smoke bomb

"Robben has begun! It was really unexpected. There was a lot of news before the game about his serious injury

CCTV commentator Duan Xuan is also worried about the Platanias club: "Robben's ability is undoubted, and his role in the Wasland Beveren club is irreplaceable. It was thought that Robben's injury would be good news for Platanias FC, but now he is on the pitch. It seems that his injuries are really just a smoke bomb. ”

But in the dressing room of Platanias FC, the players were calm.

Simeone curled his lips and said, "It seems that they are really afraid of us. All these tricks have been used. ”

Robben's importance to the Wasland Beveren club is self-evident, but Robben's physical fitness is more like a glass man, so Robben's injury is not a particular surprise.

However, after the news of Robben's injury was revealed by the Marrakech City media, the news from Marrakech City was somewhat confusing. Some media said that Robben was seriously injured and may even say goodbye to the season early. However, as soon as the wind turned, some media said that Robben was only slightly injured, and the injury was very minor, just a hard injury after the collision. He has recovered from training and should be ready to match last week at Platanias.

Of course, there is reason to suspect that this was a smoke bomb released by the Wasland Beveren Club. However, whether Platanias FC does not know, on the contrary, Wasland Beveren FC fans seem to be at a loss. True and fake news is flying all over the sky, which makes fans a little anxious.

'Two goals away from home were a problem but we were ahead on aggregate. We have no reason to be afraid of the Platanias club! On the contrary, we should be afraid of them. Although it is a hassle to play away, an away win is not out of the question for us. Besides, we just need to make sure a draw advances. On the contrary, we should be worried about our opponents! "Some fans took to the official website of the Wasland Beveren Club to express their support for the team.

"It's just Robben's injury...... Some fans are worried about Robben's injury. If Wasland Beveren FC had any disadvantage in the second leg, they might not have had as much difficulty as Robben's injury if they had scored two goals away from home.

Of course, on the official website, the Wasland Beveren Club did not officially reply to the fans, so Robben's injury is a fan.

Simon didn't care if Robben was injured or not. He's just preparing for the Wasland Beveren Club.

Simeone is now ambitious. For a long time, one of the main factors restricting the development of Platanias was the economic situation of the team. Due to the team's overall economic income, Platanias FC was forced to become a "seller team". Almost every year, Platanias loses several key players who are poached by other teams through high salaries, and Platanias' homegrown high-level talent has given them a voluntary sale fee.

Simeone understands this, as Platanias have been very athletically in the last few seasons and have even come close to Agrigon club Real Madrid in La Liga.

But when it comes to their income, it's a bit embarrassing to see the third coach of La Liga. In terms of the salary expenditure of Platanias last season, Platanias spent only 86 million euros last season, while the top three of the league's top five annual wage expenses were Agrignon's 270,900 euros and Manchester United 260,650 euros. These clubs, which could easily reach $200 million, are completely competitive in Madrid, something that these wealthy teams cannot match. Platanias FC has the 23rd highest total wage bill behind Premier League relegated side Sunderland.

What is the salary level at Platanias Club? Take Luo Ming, who has a relatively high salary in the team, as an example. His annual salary is only 3 million euros. The salary is for Club Agrignon and Real Madrid, not to mention Messi and Ronaldo. Even Carmelo, who is a blue-collar worker in Real Madrid, has a higher salary than Luo Ming.

But for the role of the team, Romin is undoubtedly the Messi of Platanias FC, and Ronaldo is the team's number one star.

For professional footballers, playing football is their job. Playing in a team is an important consideration. Of course, salary is also one of the important factors. After all, professional players have been playing for more than a decade, and this is the golden age for them to make money. Of course, they want to make more money in their careers in preparation for retirement.

If he is a player of the same level, the salary of Platanias Club is 3 million, and if he moves to another team, his salary will be doubled immediately. In front of the players, it is difficult for any player to be indifferent. After all, no one can't live on money, which is the most important reason why Platanias FC has repeatedly lost the main player of the team.

"Nothing to worry about. Whether Robben is injured or not, whether he starts or not, it's not something to worry about. ”

Platanias will not be afraid of Robben and certainly not afraid of Wasland Beveren, as they are still quite confident in themselves as the defending champions.

With the other semi-final between Agrignon and Juventus set to take place the day after the match, Agrignon and Torino and fans on both sides are worried.

"What do you think of tomorrow's game, Lee!" The reporter asked.

"To get to the finals, of course." Romin signed his name on a fan's jersey, gave the fan a smile, and then looked up to answer reporters' questions.

"Will two away goals take the pressure off the Platanias players?"

"Not at all, we're still behind, we're not going to relax in the slightest, we're fully prepared for the difficulties of the game!"

"Do you have anything to say to the Chinese fans?" This is clearly a question for a Chinese journalist.

"Goodbye, finally Luo Ming said!

...............

Luo Ming and Chinese fans gather in the AFC Champions League final! ”

"The core vocabulary of the Platanias club will be in the final!"

On the morning of the next day, Beijing time, such news headlines began to appear in the sports pages of major portals.
