Chapter 772: The Mysterious Rich Man (For the National Football Team)
Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic took the initiative to train together, and the reporters waiting near Carrington's training base immediately realized a glimmer of information that could be mined, because as we all know, Vidic has rarely trained since joining Manchester United, and before that, he just spat on Chelsea's main defender Mikel, and then took the initiative to train, is this a connection?
Indeed, there is a necessary connection between the two.
Vidic's training is very purposeful, Cristiano Ronaldo and Iro's technical characteristics are similar, they are both offensive players with strong breakthrough ability, but there is a gap in micro-handling the ball, but at least for Vidic, it makes sense to take the initiative to be Cristiano Ronaldo's defensive object.
In order to ensure that both of them can play 100% strength, neither of them stayed in the additional training.
Therefore, stumbling and falling are very common scenes, and if Rooney knows that the two are training, otherwise they have to think that they have some discord in private, and they have to find their way back in the training ground.
On the other side, the Cobham training base.
After training, Mikel volunteered to work on it, and his goal was just as simple: to get Iroh to imitate Cristiano Ronaldo to break through, so that he could get used to fast defending.
Iello also practises occasional free-kicks to solidify his shooting sensation.
The next morning, the whole Chelsea team and the whole Manchester United team took the flight to Rome at almost the same time, I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement at the airport or a coincidence, Chelsea and Manchester United on different flights actually met at the international exit, and those reporters who came to Rome Fiumicino Airport in advance to wait for the players of both sides immediately became excited.
The two teams met without a dress rehearsal, and the managers of the two teams, Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, looked at each other in amazement, then nodded tacitly, turned respectively, and walked towards the international exit, waiting to get out of the airport.
Instead, Iello shook hands amicably with Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.
Of course, players with better relations with the national team, such as Ashley Cole, Leo Ferdinand, Carrick and Bridge, also expressed friendship with each other, while Mikel, Fletcher and Nemanja Vidic stared at each other with big eyes and did not like each other, and this scene naturally gave insight to the sharp-eyed media reporters.
As the first person in today's football, Iroh, coupled with his handsome appearance, he was naturally welcomed by the screams of enthusiastic Italian girls dragging a luggage cart, and all kinds of expressions of love emerged in endlessly.
"Italian beauties are so sexy!"
After Mikel finished speaking, he whistled at the sexy beauty, but he was greeted with a roll of his eyes.
"It's rare and weird, I'll take you and Luca to Spain for a vacation after the team is on vacation, that's called sexy!!"
"What vacation?" Modric suddenly stopped and looked at Ielo and Mikel, who were talking with their heads down: "By the way, I really want to hear sexy." ”
"Go, go, adults talk, children don't interject."
Modric was almost swallowed by Mikel's words, he was born in eighty-five years, and Mikel was eighty-seven years, the youngest of the three of them, and now he actually said that the eldest is a child, which is really speechless......
The three of them walked to the airport bus with laughter and laughter, and waved to enthusiastic fans as they walked around.
In the eyes of reporters, the whole Chelsea team has a good atmosphere, an optimistic mentality and full of confidence.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is a little restrained.
Thinking of Manchester United's winless run against Chelsea, all three domestic titles this season have been below Chelsea, and it is natural that they are very concerned about the last crucial Champions League final...... Even more embarrassing.
Maybe keep the tension up before the game and find a better feeling when you get the time.
※※※
In fact, long before Chelsea and Manchester United arrived in Rome, there was a little-known story.
The logisticians of both teams arrived in Rome after the confirmation of their qualification for the Champions League final and were responsible for arranging accommodation, meals and borrowing training grounds, most importantly of all, as it was directly related to the team's adaptation to the turf of the pitch in the Champions League final.
Roma and Lazio are both owners of the Stadio Olimpic, so both Chelsea and Manchester United have two options, but Chelsea have a more favorable opinion of Lazio, who resonates with the natural blue color, but what they didn't expect was that United would take the lead.
In the second leg of the 2006-2007 Champions League 1/4 finals, Manchester United lost 1:2 to Roma in the first leg, but they returned to the home stadium and bloodied Rome 7:1, which caused a large-scale conflict between the fans of both sides after the game, and also caused some contradictions between the two clubs. The result was an instant hit.
Because Manchester United bloodied Roma 7-1, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend
So...... Anything is easy to say! Rome does not borrow venues, they Lazio borrow.
As a result, the latecomer Chelsea logistician had to borrow the training ground in Rome.
The Roma hierarchy who got the news took the initiative to contact Chelsea, just hoping that they could ravage Manchester United in the Champions League final!
※※※
Over the next two days, neither Chelsea nor Manchester United had much training for the team, focusing mainly on relaxation, and after a chance encounter at the airport, both sides of the final consciously staggered their time to settle for the pitch of play.
Avoid meeting directly before the finals.
Of course, the biggest reason is that the players on both sides have been provoked by the media before the game and have a war of words.
During this time, media reporters pay attention to the state of the players on both sides, whether there are serious injuries, and provide the latest information and news to fans who are following this final.
However, the attention of most male fans is not here, but ...... The wives of both sides of the final.
Since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the wives of the England national team have become a beautiful scenery outside the game, and various wives have actively appeared in front of the camera, and three years later, Rome has reappeared in a large-scale England wives group.
Ello's regular girlfriend, Taylor Swift, also arrived in Rome yesterday to join the famous Chelsea Wife group.
So even if it was just a simple pre-game practice, Iroh still showed excellent competitive form, and the substitute defenders couldn't find the north.
"Oh my God, Ai's competitive form seems to be much better than when he arrived in Rome yesterday!"
An intern reporter stood on the periphery of the training ground and turned his head to his senior.
"Don't you know that Ai's girlfriend came from Los Angeles yesterday?" The senior glanced at Iroh, who had easily passed Essien, and grinned.
"What's the connection?" The reporter asked curiously.
"It's a big deal! Ai has been known for his romance since his debut, and Chelsea's schedule has been very dense in the past two months, which has also indirectly squeezed his spare time, and he is also a well-known life check player, determined not to violate team rules, and will certainly not be satisfied in terms of sexual needs, don't forget that professional players are a group of over-energy guys, holding it for so long will definitely have an impact, and now that the real girlfriend is here, the demand has been released, and the performance on the court is naturally even better...... Got it? ”
"Uh...... I don't really understand. ”
"Okay, I'll take you somewhere, and you'll understand......"
After speaking, the senior took the young reporter to the famous red light district of Rome.

"According to reliable sources, China's mysterious young rich man met with Valencia President Soler, suspected of preparing to buy the most successful Spanish team in addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, after this period of informant tracking and digging, this mysterious young rich man has mastered the 11% stake in exile, and is now preparing to buy the remaining 89% of the current Valencia President Soler for 210 million euros, and assume all the team's liabilities, but there seems to be some problems in the final stage......"
Just when all the media in Europe were focusing on the upcoming Champions League final, Valencia Sport newspaper mentioned the news of the acquisition of Valencia by a mysterious young rich Chinese man in the headline report of the day.
Immediately, it attracted the attention of the Chinese media in Rome.
As a result, the enthusiastic Chinese media had to split up and send some people to seek the truth.
After half a day's understanding, it was quickly confirmed that a young Chinese tycoon had expressed a strong interest in Valencia, and the fact that the tycoon had already acquired an 11% stake in the periphery, made the accuracy of this news even more certain.
Valencia, which is still in economic crisis, has a rich man who is ready to accept the mess, and the chairman Soler should have agreed 100% with both hands, but the problem is that 40% of his 89% stake cannot be transferred directly.
It turned out that in order to compete for the chairmanship, Soler privately contacted the second largest shareholder of the team, and finally got 40% of the equity in the hands of the second shareholder after many days of hard work, but the transfer contract stated that 40% of the equity is not allowed to be traded privately, and his support must be obtained......
"Boss, I don't understand why it is necessary to have a 100% stake in Valencia, and a 1500 million euro acquisition of 60% is also acceptable."
In the presidential suite of the Valencia Hilton Hotel, the beautiful and capable female secretary asked curiously.
The young rich man in a suit and leather collar put his hands behind his back, looked at the Mestalla Stadium in the distance through the window, and said lightly: "I want to completely privatize this team, so I must take all the remaining 89% of the shares." ”
"Okay."
The female secretary did not continue to ask, because she admired the boss in front of her very much, and after only five years of hard work, she had an industry of tens of billions of dollars, and she was already blindly worshipping the boss.
And for the boss's requirements, she is unconditionally implemented.
