Chapter 676: Jinyuan War
The reason why the negotiations could not be settled is that in addition to the fact that the club needs to be promoted, Lu Wenbin also needs to ensure that the treble of Grand Paris this season can be signed before he can sign it.
Otherwise, even if the other party is promoted, Lu Wenbin will not be able to terminate the contract with Grand Paris and leave, unless Lu Wenbin pays liquidated damages himself.
Therefore, Blanco may need to strive for a full win in the league season due to the pressure of the club's top management, but Lu Wenbin himself will not be stupid to fight for the league that has already won the championship in advance.
He will prioritise his fitness and energy allocation in the Champions League and the French Cup, unless he is fit enough to play on all fronts.
In addition, Lu Wenbin will also privately influence his teammates, so that everyone can retain their physical strength as much as possible, fight for the Champions League and the French Cup, and win the treble.
As for winning the league season and winning the championship, everyone depends on luck. If you can take it, you can take it, and if you can't get it, you don't have to force it.
With the prestige of Lu Wenbin and the power of the aura of a senior leader, PSG's teammates are easily influenced by Lu Wenbin.
Although Blanco made a mobilization, saying that winning the championship this season is also a rare honor for the players in their lives, in fact, everyone agreed on the surface, and in their hearts they have already stood with Lu Wenbin and focused on the Champions League and the French Cup.
The matchup between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea is known as a battle between two "golden dollar teams".
Needless to say, the transfer of Lu Wenbin alone is worth the transfer expenses of other teams for several seasons, not to mention the introduction of Cavani, Marquinhos, Digne and so on.
Paris Saint-Germain's transfer spending of more than 200 million euros last summer is a staggering amount of money.
And earlier brought in a number of stars such as Ibrahimovic, Matuidi, Thiago Silva, Alex, Motta and so on.
Today's Grand Paris is two different teams from Paris Saint-Germain before the Qatar Investment Authority's takeover.
And Chelsea is an old local tyrant team, the year before last the introduction of Hazard, Oscar, last year's introduction of Schurrle, Willian, plus its own Cech, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Terry, Torres and other superstars, football upstarts since Chelsea.
Last summer, Chelsea not only brought in Schurrle and Willian, but more importantly, paid Mourinho liquidated damages for the unexpired contract period, allowing Mourinho to take charge of Chelsea for the second time.
This Champions League 1/4 final can also be said to be Lu Wenbin and Mourinho's "turning against each other".
At 20:45 on the evening of April 2, with the referee's whistle, Paris Saint-Germain officially began the first leg of the 2013/2014 Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea at home.
Grand Paris continued the 433 formation, and Chelsea discharged a 4231 counter-attacking formation, with Grand Paris attacking and Chelsea defending.
In the first 3 minutes, Paris played a fast attack, but Ibrahimovic did not get up in time to shoot after receiving Lu Wenbin's pass, and wanted to pass the central defender Terry together, and then hit the goal alone.
As Ibrahimovic tried to get past Terry, he was stabbed away by a decisive sliding tackle from Terry.
Ibrahimovic missed the chance to open the scoring after three minutes.
Next, PSG went on to attack and bombard Chelsea's half.
But Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are not easy to beat.
First up are Chelsea's defenders and goalkeepers.
Centre-back John Terry and goalkeeper Petr Cech are all world-class superstars in their respective positions.
Just as Ibrahimovic tried to get past John Terry, Terry's defence was hard to get around. Even if you go around and shoot at Petr Cech, it's hard to get in.
Secondly, Chelsea did not just shrink their defence, but pressed high from the midfield, leaving Paris Saint-Germain with only three lines a bit disjointed.
Especially playing three forwards, the midfield lacks depth, in addition to Lu Wenbin's ability to win steadily, Matuidi and Motta are a little unable to hold the ball, and are beaten back from time to time.
Fortunately, Chelsea's attack can't do what Lu Wenbin is pointing and playing, and he hasn't conceded a goal for the time being.
In the first 20 minutes, the two sides were evenly matched and maintained a 0-0 scoreline.
But where Grand Paris wins better than Chelsea is precisely because Grand Paris has Lu Wenbin.
In the 24th minute, Ibrahimovic pressed close to the penalty area through his deft dribbling, forcing two centre-backs, John Terry and Gary Cahill, to defend him.
Ibrahimovic took control of the ball, turned his back to the goal, and then knocked the ball back to Lu Wenbin, who cut forward.
Lu Wenbin was surrounded by two midfielders, Ramirez and David Luiz, but they did not keep up with the extremely fast Lu Wenbin in this attack.
Lu Wenbin took a step ahead and rushed to the ball, and met the ball returned by Ibrahimovic and came with a violent volley about 30 meters away from the goal.
The ball flew into the air and flew over the head of Ibrahimovic, who was hunching his neck, and drew a faint arc before heading straight for the top right corner.
Cech soared into the air to save the ball.
It turns out that the ball is faster than he thought.
Before Cech could reach his hand, the ball grazed in front of him and into the back of the net against the post.
Lu Wenbin opened the scoring for Grand Paris, helping Grand Paris to a 1-0 home lead over Chelsea, showing his worth as the world's number one superstar.
In fact, Grand Paris spent so much money to introduce Lu Wenbin, and also agreed to Lu Wenbin's harsh conditions, that is, Lu Wenbin wanted to come forward at such a time.
The Parisian fans at the Parc des Princes stadium burst into a cry of excitement.
The team that can lead Mourinho is definitely worth celebrating.
Next, the whole game became Lu Wenbin's performance.
In the 39th minute, Lu Wenbin personally broke through and caused a foul on David Luiz to win a free kick opportunity for Grand Paris.
Lu Wenbin personally took the penalty and kicked the ball into the goal. Cech couldn't reach the whip and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 53rd minute of the second half, Lu Wenbin suddenly shifted a long pass after pulling the side to break through, Cavani received the ball on the other side and hit the inverted triangle pass in the forbidden area, and Ibrahimovic kept the ball on the big forbidden area and shot low through Cech's ten fingers.
Grand Paris is already 3-0 up.
Just when everyone thought PSG were going to win comfortably over Chelsea, Eden Hazard cut inside after breaking down the flank and fired a shot into the far corner from the corner of the big penalty zone.
The ball arced in the air, bypassed the palm of goalkeeper Duchez, and flew into the net against the far post.
Chelsea pulled a point back and scored an away goal.
With only two goals down and one away goal, the score was more delicate.
Back at Stamford Bridge in the next leg, Chelsea can beat Paris 2-0 to qualify on away goals.
Therefore, the next big Paris want to continue to score, and Chelsea also want to score another goal, but the game is more intense and beautiful.
Even Ibrahimovic was violated and left the field injured.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin has been fine.
Finally, before the end of the game, in the 88th minute, Lu Wenbin rushed into the forbidden area to receive the air ball from Lavic's bottom cross, and pressed Terry to grab the first point and put the ball into the goal.
It's too close, and it's as strong as Petr Cech.
In the end, thanks to Lu Wenbin's hat-trick, Grand Paris beat Chelsea 4-1 at home.
This score basically announced the end of the second round.
Even if it is as strong as Mourinho, there is no way to take Lu Wenbin.
