AC Milan lost to Fiorentina and Inter Milan lost to Roma. This result was somewhat unexpected, and no one expected that Fiorentina did not show any fitness problems in that game, but dragged AC Milan to cope with it. And Roma's winning streak has become another of the most discussed topics, and everyone is talking about whether Roma is going to break out in the final stage of the league? Whether this season they will have a chance to reach next season's Champions Cup.

Fiorentina overtook second-placed Milan with a chance to win over AC Milan and were just one point behind Inter Milan, who lost. Sabato is right, the pressure to lead is always the greatest, they just need to follow closely behind Inter now and then transfer all the pressure to Inter Milan, and if they make a mistake, then immediately overtake and replace it.

The post-match urine test also proved Fiorentina's innocence, who did not take any illegal drugs.

So the reason why Fiorentina can guarantee physical strength has become a secret that many people are interested in, not only the media, but also the coaches of those teams. However, Fiorentina have done a good job of secrecy, and all they can know so far is that Sabato has increased his physical training and intensified his training. But everyone can do these things, and they don't need the media to reveal them.

In addition to drinking that unpalatable Chinese medicine every day, the Fiorentina players also have to receive massage from Fengqing.

That's the key to regaining their strength.

Fiorentina's performance not only had an impact in Italy, but also attracted the attention of other teams. For example, Chelsea, the current dominant side of the English Premier League, has been collecting Fiorentina data since February.

β€»β€»β€»

The decline of Manchester United and Arsenal was inevitable due to economic problems, and the rise of Liverpool was short-lived. Chelsea, who have the big boss of the backstage of Abu, are in the Premier League and now feel a bit of a hero. This is a good thing, but it is definitely not a good thing for Jose Mourinho, who wants to make a difference in Europe. Because the players lack a sense of crisis and lack of higher-quality games, in this way, when it comes to the European arena, they can only be pinched.

This is also the reason why Chelsea have dominated the Premier League in recent years, but have not won a single title in Europe.

Abobou has invested so much money in the construction of Chelsea, and he will never be satisfied with being a Premier League title every year, and the European Champions Cup and the World Club Cup are what he is after.

As the research progressed, Mourinho felt more and more that this Fiorentina side had a bit of a resemblance to Chelsea, which he had just taken over.

There is also a rich boss behind him.

There is a manager with a full surname.

There is also a group of talented players.

It is also regarded as an upstart by other opponents in the domestic league and is discriminated against.

The same was achieved very quickly.

Now that Chelsea are crowned champions in the Premier League, no one can say anything to them except Arsene Wenger from time to time. What kind of skill is it to talk nonsense off the field? Destroy you on the field!

And the news came that Florence was also on this path.

Mourinho pinched his chin and pouted, he felt as if Chelsea were playing in front of the mirror.

There is just one difference – Mourinho can stick to his ugly 1-0 doctrine for victory, while Sabato insists on his attacking policy for victory.

In the last round against Barcelona, Sabato unexpectedly defeated Barcelona with a defensive counter-attack. So what tactics should Fiorentina use now?

Mourinho waited.

Chelsea waited.

"AC Milan is followed by Chelsea, and the strong teams are coming one after another." Zhang Jun pinched his temples, and he was eating at Xiang Tao's house at this time.

"Isn't it good? We can play against these strong teams, and that's exactly what I dreamed of. Xiang Tao shouted as he waved his chopsticks.

"......" Crewe was eating with his head buried in his head, and when he heard Xiang Tao's shout, he raised his head to look at him, and then lowered his head and continued to eat.

However, his glance made Xiang Tao suddenly lose the interest of continuing to show his teeth and claws, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to eat his meal.

This is a matter between men, it is their work troubles, and Yoyo knows very little about football, so it is inconvenient to interject, she just sits next to her, eats silently, and occasionally raises her head and smiles.

"Cut! If you lose, you don't call. Zhang Jun said disdainfully.

"Phew! Crow's beak! Don't say that! ”

"Holy! Don't put it in the dish! I'll fuck you scoundrel! ”

While the two were having fun with chopsticks, Crewe suddenly stood up. Everyone stopped and looked up at him.

"I'm full, thank you for the hospitality." Crewe says this to Yoyo three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It has never changed, but today this sentence makes everyone feel that something is wrong.

watched Crewe walk towards the living room, then Xiang Tao tilted his head and locked his gaze on the ceiling: "I always feel that kid is a little abnormal today...... No, it should be said that he was not normal during this time. ”

Zhang Jun knocked Xiang Tao's head with chopsticks: "Idiot! What an idiot you are! ”

"I said! Don't hit me with chopsticks! Which one do you take? ”

"You care! Eat honestly! Zhang Jun also stood up, and then smiled at Youyou, "I'm also full, thank you for your hospitality." Then he turned and walked to the living room: "Crewe, wait for me, let's go together." ”

Xiang Tao muttered: "What kind of world...... This year, the one who eats is more fierce than the master......"

When Crewe heard Zhang Jun call him, he was picking up the happy Porgy who had been playing on the sofa after eating and drinking, and he never used dog chains or anything like that, and naturally he didn't have a collar. If he needs to wear Poggi when he goes out, he always puts it on his shoulder. Porgy also likes this way, and sometimes he will put his arms around Crewe's neck and be coquettish.

After changing his shoes, Zhang Jun shouted at the door: "Let's go!" ”

Youyou came out of the restaurant, and then stood at the door and smiled at the two: "Walk slowly, be careful on the road." ”

Xiang Tao's muffled voice came from inside: "Hurry up, go quickly!" I won't send it! ”

"I didn't expect you to send it!" Zhang Jun first shouted at the top of his voice, then smiled at Youyou, and then patted Crewe's shoulder, "Let's go." ”

β€»β€»β€»

Walking out of the courtyard of Xiang Tao's house, just turn to the right, and walk up ten meters to the courtyard gate of Klu's house. It's just that the two-story villa is a little lonely and lonely because no one is there now, and the lights are not turned on.

Crewe tried to turn right back to his home, but Jang Jun held him back. "After a meal, walk a hundred steps and live to ninety-nine. Take a walk with me. ”

Crewe looked at Zhang Jun's smiling face, then nodded in agreement.

So, the two turned in opposite directions.

Zhang Jun turned his head to look at Poggy who was coquettish on Crewe's shoulder, and then sighed: "It's a pity that it's a Chihuahua dog, and it doesn't grow much." If you can be like a German Shepherd, take a silver chain and lead it for a walk, it is also a very imposing thing. ”

Crewe looked back at Poggi on his shoulder, and said lightly, "A dog that can be kept on a leash is not a good dog." ”

"Uh...... You have a point, too. "Jang Jun just wants to use Poggy to arouse the topic, he doesn't really want to entangle with Crewe on the good dog and the bad dog.

"There's something wrong with you this time, Crewe. Distracted during training. Zhang Jun finally got to the point.

Crewe looked at Zhang Jun, then twisted his head back again, and didn't speak, but the meaning was already clear.

'Is it because our Champions Cup opponent is Chelsea? I don't think you're the kind of person who thinks about old feelings and then soft-hearted, right? "Jang Jun and Crewe never use honorifics when they speak.

Crewe tilted his mouth and laughed: "You really know me. Chelsea's life or death has nothing to do with me, professional footballers, playing in a team just to earn enough money for living expenses and luxury, not to talk about feelings. Only when he is alone with Zhang Jun can Crewe talk so much.

"Uh...... It's not unreasonable for you to say that......" Zhang Jun doesn't agree with Crewe's thoughts, but he doesn't plan to entangle with Crewe in this regard.

He could sort of guess why Crewe was so upset.

If it's not for the fate of Chelsea, it's only because the mention of Chelsea reminds Crewe of some of the past, the ones that have nothing to do with football, his time in London.

"When I'm away from home, I'll go to their graves." Crewe said. He is not an unfilial son, but he has not gone back to sweep the grave of his parents for a long time. He was unable to take a leave of absence to return to London at the most crucial time of the professional league in the traditional Chinese Qingming Dynasty, and this time it was only because Fiorentina needed to play away from London in April.

"It's my house." Crewe suddenly said, Zhang Jun was a little surprised, they were obviously going in the opposite direction just now. Why did you get to Crewe's house again?

Crewe saw Zhang Jun's confusion. "We just saw the intersection and turned left, which is equivalent to going around in a circle."

Zhang Jun patted his head, before he could say a few words, they didn't go far. It's no longer possible to say to Crewe, "Let's go around again." ”

The two stood in the doorway, "Hmm...... Would you like to go in and sit? Crewe's home almost never hosts, and he himself has no experience in doing so. But the experience of dealing with people and things has taught him that sometimes he still has to talk about face.

Zhang Jun shook his head, he knew that if he went, he would also make trouble for Crewe.

I said...... I actually prefer you on the football field, Crewe. Of course, don't think about that. I'm just saying that you have a richer expression on the football field, and you are much better than you in life. You should try to laugh more and talk more. Even if you laugh, your laughter is too restrained and refuses to let go of yourself. This is not good, after a long time, you will not find a wife, and your wife is someone who will accompany you for a lifetime. ”

"Isn't it true that friends can be friends for a lifetime?"

"That's right. But there are some things that a friend can't do for you...... Like、Well,Like having a baby or something. Zhang Jun felt that his expression must be funny. Honestly, Crewe, how old are you? ”

"Twenty-two years old."

"Twenty-two. Well...... My opinion is that you should probably be in love, twenty-two is a little late. It's about falling in love, not looking for a partner with a surname. You must distinguish this! ”

Crewe tilted his head thoughtfully. Although he is psychologically precocious, his virgin body has long been broken. But for love, his experience is equal to zero. He lost his mother since he was a child, and then his father was an alcoholic, and the children were happy in school, and when he was in and out of pairs with girls of the same age, he had to do all kinds of work on the street to support himself, where could he fall in love with girls, when he was on the streets, the girls he knew were not the so-called flying girls, one by one, they only recognized money, and they had no intention of falling in love at all. As long as you have money, you can go to chuang, and the next day when you have no money, I will kick you immediately. He didn't like that disgusting girl, though perhaps he had slept with some of them, but it was purely for sensuality.

When he was a little older, he was brought into the halls of professional football by Uncle Gilgio, and he trained desperately every day, trying to play in the first team and make money for his father's surgery. Naturally, there is no time to fall in love.

Later, he became famous and was also favored by some female fans. But at that time, he and most of the Chelsea fans were on the same page, who would have a relationship at that time?

Then, when his father died, he suddenly felt that he had lost his goal and became very dazed, and his mind was not on the so-called love.

In the end, I came to Fiorentina, and it was only because I could play with Zhang Jun, give him assists, and see him become the top scorer, which made me very satisfied. Something else was not considered. Even if he saw the intimacy between Sophie and Zhang Jun, and the intimacy between Xiang Tao and Youyou, he was not moved at all. Now that he has a love in his heart, it has long been classified as a forbidden area.

Do you really want to be like Zhang Jun and Xiang Tao, looking for a girl who can stay with her for a lifetime? Hugging and hugging all day long, relatives and me?

Crewe couldn't imagine what it would be like to be like that.

Seeing that Crewe was still thinking about it, Zhang Jun shrugged his shoulders and then said to Crewe, "You go back, I'm going home too." My wife is going to inspect it. "He didn't have his phone with him when he went out, and Sophie should have called back by this time.

Just as Zhang Jun turned to leave, he was stopped by Crewe.

"Zhang, if you fall in love, won't you be free? Can't you just do whatever you want? ”

"This ...... How so? I think that because two people live together, they must be humble to each other, and even accommodating each other. But if we respect each other, we don't feel unfree, just like Sophie and I, we are both free, but we both love each other deeply. Heck, I can't say it here, but in short, it's a wonderful feeling, maybe only when you're really in love, you will understand. Zhang Jun was thinking about Sophie's phone in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't stand here and teach Crewe a detailed lesson. He waved his hand and quickly slipped away.

Only one Krewe was there to continue his thoughts.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Last season, Fiorentina met a strong Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and were eliminated. Their opponents this season are no less weak, Premier League champions Chelsea. I wonder if they will be able to break through a quarter of the barriers and achieve better results this season. ”

"This is the real Champions Cup! The champions of the various leagues are competing against the champions of the Spanish Primera Division and then the English Premier League, who will be next? ”

"Fiorentina City is starting to heat up and everyone is talking about this high-profile game. In order to prevent hooliganism in English football, Florence has increased its police presence in several major areas of the city and in famous landmarks. At the same time, England has promised that it will not allow recorded football hooligans to leave the country. It is also interesting to note that quite a few Russian tourists have also booked rooms in Florence's large and small hotels to watch the game live. ”

"Fearing that the influx of fans will have a negative impact on the cityscape and tourist environment of Florence, the Florence Tourist Office would like to inform all visitors: please strictly distinguish between private and public spaces, and do not act too intimately in public, otherwise our beautiful female security officer will give you a kind reminder. Please take care of cultural relics and public property, and please refrain from spitting......"

Almost all the newspapers that can be bought in the market have covered the competition in various ways and from various angles. The official game hasn't started yet, and the heat has been stirred up.

"Ahh This is the Champions Cup! This is the Champions Cup! Xiang Tao was as good as ever.

Crewe is still a tabula rasa face, expressionless. It seems that Zhang Jun's persuasion that day had no effect.

"Okay, Xiang, shut up!" Sabato interrupted Xiang Tao with a wave of his hand, and then said to everyone, "Tomorrow is the first leg of our match against Chelsea, and I have only one request, to win this game." He looked at the reaction of the players and was not surprised, as if he felt that the win was deserved. He was satisfied.

"Winning the first leg will be very strong for our second leg and it will have a great impact on our race throughout April. So...... You have to win. And you can definitely win, don't ask why you can definitely win, because you are Fiorentina and you are aiming for the treble, so you can definitely win. Sabato threw out his rogue theory again, which is quite unreasonable, it is simply "because...... So ......" can really bring a wave of confidence to the players.

"So, alright, that's the end of today's training, everyone go back and have a good rest, and tomorrow I will slaughter the British!"

"Huh? Boss, won't you talk a little bit about tomorrow's tactical arrangements? Xiang Tao was a little confused, usually before the game, Sabato would tell in detail about tomorrow's tactical arrangements, more detailed than before the game on the day of the game, so that he could talk less the next day and spend more saliva on boosting morale.

'I've been talking about Chelsea every day in training for so many days, haven't you been tired of it? Besides, what will I say tomorrow? Sabato was very scoundrel and ignored Xiang Tao's request, "Dismiss!" Meeting! ”

"Cut~" Xiang Tao pursed his lips and whistled.

Di Livio was naturally also very surprised by Sabato's performance today, but he gave Sabato face, and when the players were gone, he chased to the parking lot to stop Sabato.

"Antonio, if you don't tell the players, you have to tell me."

"Say what?" Sabato pretended to be stupid.

"Tactics! What tactics will we use to play Chelsea tomorrow! Di Livio was excited, and his voice was several degrees higher.

Sabato hurriedly looked up and down, left and right, like a thief, to make sure that there was no one around, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, my God!" What do you want me to say? I haven't even figured out the tactics myself......"

"What?!" The voice is one degree higher.

He ...... "Sabato wanted to scold this unenlightened assistant coach for making him whisper and shout so loudly." I said, Angelo, don't you think Chelsea is like us in some way? You know, we're used to using hooliganism against other teams, but Chelsea are also hooligans in a sense. Especially their manager, the guy who can't figure it out. Tsk, in the past, only people couldn't guess me, but now it's my turn to guess others. What retribution! Okay, go home, give me a night, I'll figure out how to deal with Chelsea, if it doesn't work, just fight with them, anyway, in terms of quality, maybe we're better than them, not to mention that this is our home stadium. ”

Seeing that what Sabato is saying now is so unreasonable, Di Livio is still scolding him in his heart for the set of things he just boasted in front of the players, what must be won, what must be won, it must be won, it turns out that it is all casual nonsense. "Antonio......" he shook his head, "you still can't see through ......"

"Hey, hey! Thanks for the compliment. Sabato laughed dryly, slipped into his car, rolled down the window, and waved to Di Livio, who was standing next to him. See you tomorrow and good luck. ”

"See you tomorrow, good luck ......" Di Livio said sincerely. Good luck to Florence, O God!

Sabato glanced in the rearview mirror, he was almost out of the parking lot, and Di Livio was still standing there, poor man, he couldn't stand the blow...... Well, though, the game against Chelsea was like playing in the mirror. Competing with yourself? It's a bit of a bother.

β€»β€»β€»

While the players and coaches of both sides were anxious to prepare for the game, the presidents of the two teams got together before the game and had a friendly dinner.

As the presidents of both teams, there's nothing strange about having dinner together, it's usually meant to be a sign of friendship. However, as two capital predators in football sit together to eat, then what they talked about during the banquet has to make many people interested and nervous.

Will they get together and talk about the cooperation between the players and the team?

Will you discuss which other team has a certain player who is very good and wants to buy it?

Will they cooperate in the transfer market?

Or will they be detached and hit each other's ideas?

In fact, it can be said very responsibly that the two just had a meal together and then chatted about some messy things. The weather in London, for example, is always a common topic for those who have spent time in London.

Although the atmosphere was good, neither side said a word of any meaning, it was all nonsense that was said and not said.

On the surface, no one has relaxed their vigilance.

Because they both know very well what kind of person is sitting across from them.

If Zhang Jun is asked to eat this kind of rice, he will definitely feel very tired, more tired than playing two games in a row. But Ren Yudi is used to this kind of life.

After eating, the two gentlemen, in order to show their friendship with each other -- friendship first, competition second -- went by car together, and there were still nearly two hours before the start of the race.

β€»β€»β€»

Just as Ren Yudi and Abramovich got into the car, the Florence bus also departed from the training base. Traffic restrictions have been introduced on the road from their training base to Frankie, and from the Chelsea hotel to Frankie. This has not happened in previous matches, and it can be seen that the Fiorentina municipal axes are also taking this game seriously.

Although traffic restrictions have been implemented and motor vehicles are not allowed, there are many fans on both sides of the road. They are cheering and saluting the heroes of the city. Some players also waved back to them through the car windows.

But not everyone in the car is in that good mood.

Sabato hadn't spoken much today, and Di Livio was quite worried about it, fearing that Sabato simply had no way to deal with Chelsea.

He also tried to ask Sabato, but Sabato did not give him a positive answer at all.

On the other side, Xiang Tao hummed a little song excitedly, but Crewe, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and didn't say a word, and he didn't know if he was asleep or what.

And Zhang Jun is still in a hurry to talk to Sophie on the phone.

Some of the other players gathered together to talk and laugh, while others felt the tension of the big game and sat in their chairs without saying a word and with serious expressions.

As the bus pulled into the square in front of Frankie, they heard deafening cheers outside.

"Hooray! Florence! Banzai! Florence! ”

The sound made the drowsy players, or the players who were still chatting, thinking, bored, look up and then turn their heads to look out the window.

Sabato also looked up and looked carefully at the crowd outside. The square was almost a sea of purple, and some blue Chelsea fans tried to shout a few slogans, only to be quickly drowned out by louder voices.

Looking at these enthusiastic fans, Di Livio's inner worry was even greater. If there's anything wrong at home, how can you face these fans?

Antonio, what's going on in your mind?

β€»β€»β€»

As if intentionally, Fiorentina had just entered the dressing room for five minutes when Chelsea's bus showed up for Frankie. They were greeted this time by an unfriendly boo from the Fiorentinians, with the exception of a handful of die-hard Blues fans.

When he got out of the car, their head coach rightfully received all the attention of the news media, and almost all the microphones reached for him.

"Mr. Mourinho, can you tell us how much chance your team has of winning this game?"

"Mr. Coach, is there any difference between the game against Fiorentina? There are a lot of similarities between your two teams, and as far as I know, the president of your two teams just had dinner together......"

Mourinho kept a straight face on the previous questions and did not answer them. This question alone made him turn his face to the questioner, an oriental reporter - Li Yan.

"How do you know?"

"We've studied your team, as well as Sabato's team......"

"No, I'm talking about the two gentlemen having dinner together."

"Hey, I have my messaging channel. Let's get back to the point, Mr. Mourinho, do you think this game is special? ”

Mourinho's face sank, and then he said quietly: "No, I don't think there's anything different." Fiorentina are just an ordinary opponent in the Champions League. ”

As he spoke, Li Yan kept staring at his face, hoping to see Mourinho's true thoughts from his expression. But in the end he was disappointed.

A rogue is a rogue and Sabato has a lot to learn when it comes to successfully hiding his heart. Jose Mourinho, who was just in charge of Chelsea, has been criticized for forcing one of Switzerland's most famous international referees to retire. But this incident also made him learn to be obedient, and he is now very good at hiding his true thoughts. Although it is not as impulsive as it used to be, it is more lethal and more insidious.

Li Yan shrugged helplessly: "Okay, I wish your team good results." "This is the words of the ceremonial surname.

However, Mourinho looked at him: "Why not cheer for Fiorentina? Didn't they have your Chinese players here? ”

Li Yan was a little surprised, he had been communicating in English all the time, and he had never said that he was a Chinese journalist. "Why don't you think I'm a journalist?"

Mourinho smiled meaningfully: "Because of some English pronunciation, I can't speak as fluently as you." Then he pushed away from the other reporters and walked straight out.

Due to his long-term coverage of Italian football, Li Yan has not had much chance of being dismissed from England's team, and the Champions League is his only chance to contact those other local teams. This time he and Mourinho's encounter can also be said to be rare, in the past, his understanding of this iron-fisted coach was also at the level of listening to others, and after really communicating with the other party today, he felt that it was completely inappropriate to call Mourinho a "rogue coach" now, and he had successfully gotten rid of the reputation of "rogue coach" and became a generation of grandmasters.

In contrast, Sabato is more like a gangster confined to one place......

In this game, has the coach already lost?

The rogue coach who refused to accept any access five minutes ago...... Li Yan smiled bitterly, he still couldn't forget the somewhat restless assistant coach next to the silent Zabato, Di Livio.

Such a team always gives people a sense of insecurity.

Li Yan shook his head and followed the reporters to the press box.

β€»β€»β€»

After the warm-ups, both teams returned to their respective dressing rooms. The relationship between Crewe and Chelsea, which was very interesting to reporters, ended in Crewe's low profile and Chelsea's indifference, which made them very depressed.

The players who returned to the dressing room looked at manager Sabato one by one, hoping that he would tell them the tactics of the game.

Sabato's eyes were closed, completely oblivious to everyone's gaze. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said something that surprised everyone: "The tactics of today's game are ...... There are no tactics! ”

The locker room was quiet for about two seconds, and then suddenly there was a loud noise: "It's too irresponsible, isn't it?" ”

"Boss, this joke isn't funny at all!"

Di Livio felt that his body was weak, and sure enough, he expected it. Sabato thought about it all night and didn't come up with any tactics that worked.

"Quiet! Shut up! Sabato had to raise his voice and silence everyone.

'Chelsea were too similar to us in many ways in this game, so I just ask you to play the same things that we've trained in the past and don't think about anything else...... Why are you looking at me like this? You don't believe in my arrangement? ”

"It's not that we believe, but that we don't believe at all!" Xiang Tao shouted.

Even Zhang Jun felt that Sabato was messing around, such an important game, but he only said that it would be good for us to play as usual. Even if the players are smart, they can't understand the ever-changing situation on the field, and naturally they can't clearly know what they should do throughout the game.

If the players themselves can develop tactics based on the progress of the game, then what else does football need to do as a coach?

Now, Fiorentina manager Sabato is grossly negligent.

"Alright, shut up!" Sabato shouted again.

The majesty of the manager made the noisy players shut their mouths.

"What I mean by that is to make you play as usual, what kind of tactics do you want? In the last round against Barcelonorent, we unexpectedly used a defensive counterattack, did you expect so much? Jose Mourinho is not a fool either, and it is useless to defend against Chelsea on the counter-attack. Tell me, how does Fiorentina usually play? ”

"Attack, ......," Xiang Tao replied casually.

"Do you still have any questions?"

The meaning of this is already very clear, how Fiorentina usually plays, how they play today - attack.

"It's gone!"

"It's nonsense if it's gone, let me out, it's time to play!" Sabato looked at his watch, and then slapped Xiang Tao on the shoulder, slapping Xiang Tao grinning, he was retaliating for Xiang Tao daring to contradict him as the head coach just now.

β€»β€»β€»

The main players of both sides are all crowded in the tunnel waiting to play. Members of the bench and coaching staff have already taken their seats on the bench in advance.

Crewe kept his head down and he didn't say hello to any of the Chelsea players, although there were some people he knew well, such as Reuben, Frank Lampard, John Terry. Seeing the familiar blue jersey and seeing the familiar former team-mates, Crewe felt that yesterday was not so far away.

He still remembers his first professional league game, and remembers that wordy captain Terry; I remember Mourinho's face that turned his face into a book; Remember his particular way of motivating the team; I remember how I played Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira; I even remember being sent off for a fight with an opposing player.

I remember the teachings of Mr. Perizaro, and I remember the feeling of living with him as if I were a father and son.

At that time, he was not as gloomy as he is now. At best, he was a somewhat impulsive sunny boy who liked to scold and got along well with his team-mates, and at that time his Chelsea first-team and youth team-mates didn't hate him.

But look at it now, it's a big change.

He became taciturn, sinister and cunning. When I watched my teammates score a goal, even if I was on the bench, I would jump up and whistle and cheer, but now? After scoring a goal himself, there will be no special celebration or expression.

Just when the two players met, Terry wanted to say hello to Crewe, but Crewe turned his head away and deliberately avoided it.

Since he said that he didn't care about the experience with Chelsea, what was he deliberately avoiding?

Perhaps Crewe doesn't realise what the name Chelsea mean to him as the first club of his career right now.

The people there taught him how to play professional football and how to be a star in the spotlight.

Zhang Jun saw Terry next to him turn his head back, and then turned back with an embarrassed expression, he felt strange, so he turned his head back to look, just in time to see Crewe's expressionless face.

With Zhang Jun's intelligence, of course, he quickly understood what had just happened.

So he patted Frey and motioned for himself to go to the back. Then he walked straight through the hallway between the two teams and came to Crewe.

"What? The other party wants to greet you, and you ignore it? ”

Crewe was silent.

Zhang Jun sighed: "I said Krewe, this is not good, really." When you shake hands later, let's say hello to the people you know inside. Even if you say 'hello'. ”

Crewe remained silent, and twisted his face to the side.

But Zhang Jun was more stubborn than him, and he grabbed Crewe's shoulders and forced the other party to look at him. "Crewe ......"

Zhang Jun felt the shoulders in his hands loosen, and then Kru exhaled and whispered, "Okay, sayhello." ”

Zhang Jun smiled, Kru still gave him face. "Your tone sounds stiff, you won't be reluctant, will you?"

Crewe continued to look at Zhang Jun and said nothing, but his expression was clearly a grievance of "you know everything and ask me".

Zhang Jun was very proud, he laughed, and then patted Crewe's shoulder: "Good job!" Then he turned and walked back.

When Terry saw Zhang Jun walking back, he kept turning his head to follow him, saw him talk to Crewe, and then walked back with a smile.

He really wanted to ask Zhang Jun what he said to Crewe, as Crewe's former captain, he actually cared about this little kid. There has always been a saying within Chelsea that the captain of his first team team is a good guy and that he will take the initiative to care for the young players, chat with them and enlighten them, what a perfect captain...... Of course, it's just that I usually speak a little wordy.

Zhang Jun turned his head to see Terry's expression, and he understood Terry's thoughts. It's no wonder that Li Yan said that Chelsea and Fiorentina are similar in some ways, and he thinks that the atmosphere in the team is very similar, and if there is a captain who cares about his teammates so much, even if it is a former team-mate, then the dressing room atmosphere of this team must not be much worse.

Look at the likes of Ruben and Frank Lampard, who have also stayed at Chelsea, despite the rumours surrounding them and other clubs. Isn't that in itself a reflection of the team's charisma?

Jang Jun smiled at Terry and didn't say anything, but a kind smile sometimes topped with a thousand words.

It was a do-or-die Champions Cup quarter-final, but Zhang Jun didn't have the feeling he had when he played Barcelona in the last round.

As Jose Mourinho said, it's just an ordinary Champions League quarter-final and Chelsea are just ordinary opponents.

In the dugout of the home team, Sabato was being questioned by Di Livio with some harsh "questioning".

"Antonio, I really can't understand you anymore...... Are you real? Is there really no way to deal with Chelsea? ”

"Undoubtedly, true." Sabato crosses his hands around his chest and smiles at the turning camera, but his answer has nothing to do with his expression.

'So how did Barcelona beat Chelsea in the Champions League last season?'

"I looked at their two-legged bout and it was luck...... The shit in Barcelona is surprisingly lucky. ”

"I ...... You even said it was luck, is it also luck that Barcelona can dominate European football? Hearing Sabato's serious words, Di Livio thought it would be some kind of high theory, but he didn't expect it to be luck.

"Angelo, you have to know that luck is definitely an indispensable and important factor for any team that dominates in the end." Sabato answered Di Livio's question very seriously, and his expression did not change even when facing the camera lens.

"Okay...... All right. Di Livio groaned in pain, "Even if what you say is true, there is no need to tell your teammates about this, they have high hopes for you, and they trust you." Aren't you worried that it will hit the morale of the team when you say that? ”

Sabato spread his hands: "It's okay to tell them and let them know their situation." Don't have illusions, when they get on the pitch and the whistle blows, they are the only ones who can save them. ”

Frankie's hustle and bustle suddenly became louder, and players from both sides came out.

Di Livio obviously couldn't continue to entangle with Sabato at this time, but he turned his head to look at the players and threw a sentence at Sabato: "Antonio, I'm not happy with this explanation, you are obviously perfunctory to me." ”

Sabato shrugged his shoulders unimpressed.
