After enjoying Eva's world together, Chen Xi did not make any further requests and sent Eva back to her uncle's house on time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Eva is a girl with a very strict family education, although her parents are not around, but her uncle's family may feel that they are entrusted by others, so they are stricter with Eva, and sometimes they go back a little later, and they will keep calling to urge, not to mention not returning home at night!
Seeing off the reluctant Eva, Chen Xi returned to the rental house with Hazel.
Today he had to stay alone in the empty room, because Hazel had been working in Manchester during this time. For this result, Chen Xi was very helpless. But sometimes when I think about it, these women have their own things, and it is also good to say, if these women are all in the same place, it is not easy for me to deal with it!
Chen Xi, who was in London, also received a call from Morientes.
"Hey, Fernando! You actually called me before the game, could it be that you came to buy me? Seeing that it was Morientes calling, Chen Xi picked up the phone and joked.
"That's right! My boss asked me to bring you a blank check, as long as you don't score a goal in the game, you can fill in the number on it! Morientes obviously also knew that Chen Xi was joking, so he also took over Chen Xi's topic and said.
"Oh? So good? As long as you don't score goals? Then I'll get an assist! Ha ha! Chen Xi replied with a smile.
"Well, of course not with assists!" Morientes seems to have remembered Chen Xi's terrifying assist ability, which he deeply felt when he was a teammate with Chen Xi at Tottenham.
"Haha! No kidding, maybe my phone is being spied on. What are you calling me today? Chen Xi didn't continue to joke, but said with a straight face.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just going to find you out for a drink after the game and treat you well." Morientes replied with a smile.
"That's no problem, I'll just talk to the coach when the time comes!" Chen Xi agreed without hesitation. Speaking of which, he hadn't dealt with Morientes for a long time.
"Alright then, that's it. When I get to the field, I don't have people to keep it! After Morientes finished speaking, he did not forget to put down a cruel word.
"Haha, that's exactly what I wanted to say!" Chen Xi laughed and replied-
After a break in London, the Liverpool squad flew from London airport to France and then to Monaco.
Although the Monaco club plays in Ligue 1, the fact is that Monaco is actually a principality of reading. It's just that this principality is pitiful, and they only have one team, so they let them participate in Ligue 1.
Although the Monaco club is small with only 6,000 members, that does not prevent it from becoming one of the leading teams in French football.
The current Arsenal manager, Professor Arsene Wenger, has been successful at Monaco and is now the French national team's striker duo Thierry Henry and Trezeguet.
Therefore, Monaco still has its own place in the history of Ligue 1.
This season, they also relied on their crazy attacking power to reach the Champions League semi-finals all the way, creating a big miracle.
As it stands, only Morientes, who is on loan from Real Madrid, is a big star in the Monaco squad. But if you look at their roster list, you will find many names that will be famous in European football in the future.
Patrice Evra at left-back, Gyuli on the right, and Spain international Morientes, Croatia international Pulsau and Togo international Adebayo are piled up in the center forward position!
It is these people who prop up the crazy attacking power of the Monaco team. In the group stage, they defeated Deportivo La Coruna, who also reached the semi-finals, with a score of 8-3, which is undoubtedly a reflection of their attacking power!
After arriving in Monaco, Chen Xi found that although it is a small country, the scenery is beautiful and at the same time very rich. It is said to be the richest kingdom in Europe. There are many big and big businessmen who have chosen this place as their habitat!
Due to the wealth here, there are also all kinds of entertainment venues, and it is a tax-free paradise, so many players will also choose to put the final stage of their careers in this team.
Owen, who was sitting next to Chen Xi, saw several high-end casinos standing on the side of the road, and his eyes lit up. What a complete gambler!
After settling into the hotel, the Liverpool squad travelled to Monaco's home stadium, the Stade Louis II, for acclimatisation.
The stadium is small, with a capacity of just over 18,000 fans, which is smaller than the home stadium of some English second-tier teams. No way, who called the Principality of Monaco every inch of land?
It's already very good to be willing to give you such a large piece of land to build a stadium, don't you see that such a rich country doesn't even have a place to build an airport?
Of course, the turf is in good condition and the facilities are very modern. It can be said that the sparrow is small, and it has all kinds of organs.
"Monaco has a much stronger appeal than ours!" Chen Xi, who was doing simple physical training, said to Xavi Alonso beside him.
"Huh? How so? Xavi Alonso asked, stunned.
"Because as soon as they competed, half the country came to cheer them on! (The total population of the Principality of Monaco is just over 32,000.) Chen Xi replied with a smile.
"......" Xavi Alonso was speechless.
Speaking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but think of Morientes, who was on loan from the Bernabeu to Luis II. From an ultra-luxury stadium that can accommodate 70,000 or 80,000 fans to a stadium that can only accommodate less than 20,000 fans to play football, will the gap in his heart be particularly big? ――
April 21, Louis II Stadium!
The stadium was filled with 18,500 seats, and the entire stadium became a sea of red and white.
Although the Principality of Monaco is small and does not have many members, the Principality's passion for football is very high.
Liverpool fans have worked hard to get 2,000 seats.
In the pre-game player tunnel, Chen Xi also met Morientes, an old friend.
After a few brief greetings and a rehash of the post-match drink, the two returned to their respective positions, after all, now they are their own masters!
"Okay! We see that the players of both teams have already played, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams......"
The starting lists of the two teams were shown on the TV screen:
Monaco (4-4-2):
Goalkeepers: Roma defenders: Ibarra, Rodriguez, Squeerage, EvraMidfielders: Giuli, Cisse, Benardi, Roten Forwards: Morientes, Poolau "Today Deschamps is a four-four-two formation, not the Christmas tree formation he used before, it seems that the French young coach wants to fight with Liverpool at home to attack!" ”
Liverpool (4-4-2):
Goalkeepers: Dudek Defenders: Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Reese: Luis Garcia, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard, Edison Chan Forwards: Heskey, Owen'Liverpool's squad remains very consistent, thanks to the fact that they have had very few injuries to their players this season. At the same time, Benitez has also been mindful of a lot of rotation in some inconsequential games, such as domestic competitions. This keeps Liverpool from being as tired as other Premier League teams playing in the fourth. Even so, his team still won the League Cup and reached the final of the FA Cup, which is quite a miracle! ”
After a series of ceremonies~~~~, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game!
As soon as the game began, the Monaco team launched an onslaught.
The first attack caused a foul on Reeser on the left and gave Monaco a free kick on the wing!
After winning the free-kick, several of Monaco's big men were in the Liverpool box.
The Liverpool team's penalty area instantly sounded the air defense alarm!
With two tall centre-forwards of Morientes and Poulshaw, plus a few outstanding players in the midfield and back, even the long-standing Liverpool team does not dare to underestimate them!
It was their left-back Roten who took the free-kick.
Roten's ball found the high point in the box, Pulsho!
However, the Croatian striker headed the ball into the stands under the close marking of Reds captain Hyypia!
This caused a loud sigh to erupt in the Louis II Stadium.
Soon, the Monaco team made a comeback!
The French Bantam Giuli showed his unrivalled dexterity on the right flank, dribbling down the ball and delivering a pinpoint cross!
Poolau, who was outflanked at the front point, caught the attention of the Liverpool defenders, but he couldn't get his hands on the ball and it leaked in front of goal!
"Morientes! Liverpool's defence is leaking and this is a chance for Monaco! ”
At this time, the Spanish striker who appeared in the ball route did not have a defender around him, all he had to do was jump up slightly and send the ball towards the goal with a flick of his head!
In the face of Morientes' header from such a close distance, Dudek couldn't stop it even with three heads and six arms, and the ball hit the net behind him hard!
Boom~~~ The Louis II Stadium instantly erupted in huge cheers!
At this moment, perhaps the entire Principality of Monaco already knew the news of the team's goal, because the cheers in the stadium may have spread throughout the Principality's land area of less than two square kilometers!
