Chapter 1135: Outwitting Journalists
Liverpool won. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the 18th minute of extra time, Liverpool sealed the win after Volenen's goal.
Under great pressure and disadvantage, it is not easy for Chelsea to survive this time, and it is normal to collapse at this time.
By this time, Grant and Benitez had already known the success or defeat of the winner, and before the referee Willy blew the whistle, Grant had come over generously to shake hands with Benitez and congratulate him.
"Congratulations on the promotion, the title has been booked by you Liverpool."
Grant held Benitez's hand, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, very lost, and it didn't match the words that came out of his mouth.
'Thank you, thank you, it's still early to win and Chelsea are playing well.'
After the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, the results of several other games have also come out, Manchester United lost 0-1 to Portsmouth, Cardiff City won 2-0 against Middlesbrough, West Brom swept Bristol 5-1, and there is almost no team left to threaten Liverpool to win the title, and Grant said that Liverpool is not an exaggeration to say that Liverpool is destined to win the title.
Benitez also knew the result and had mixed feelings, both happy that Liverpool would likely win the FA Cup, but also worried about how to deal with reporters in the post-match press conference.
The winner of this game is Liverpool and Chen Yu, but he Benitez is not a big winner, he can only say that he wins half and loses half.
Benitez didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, he thought that Chen Yu's approach was wrong, that is, he didn't have a big picture, but the result was that Chen Yu won, which made him feel helpless.
The game was not over yet, and the Chelsea fans at home had no intention or shame to see the Liverpudlians celebrating at their doorstep, with many fans leaving the stadium early.
The Chelsea players and coaches were in a worse mood, and as soon as the whistle blew, they also left in a hurry, and many reporters wanted to come to do live interviews, but they were also rudely pushed aside by the Chelsea players.
The reporter came to a group of people who like icing on the cake and salt the wound, and did not find a chance with the Chelsea players, and immediately came to find Chelsea's coach Grant, Grant just said a word to Benitez is already a hard support, and when he turned around, his face turned blue, and he saw that the fans were still holding long guns and short cannons to surround him, he was on fire and roared "Get out of the way!" He shoved the camera and walked towards the mixing channel with his head down.
Unable to interview Chelsea's players, reporters immediately went to the winners.
Winners are always tolerant, and Liverpool's players and coaches generously accommodated the reporters' requests for interviews, but the manager Benitez did not give an interview, and he signaled for the reporters to interview other coaches, and he still has something to do.
Although they knew that Benitez was a pretext, the reporters still let him go, after all, they would see him at the post-match press conference, and the reporters did not have to worry about not having the opportunity to ask him about the "interesting story" that happened on the field.
Chen Yu is the focus of the fans' cheers, but also the focus of reporters' interviews, he did not dodge, Chen Yu knew that he had to say it publicly, otherwise the knots in Benitez's heart would never be unraveled, and Chen Yu believed that Benitez would not let him participate in tonight's press conference, although Benitez usually likes to take him to the press conference the most, let him be a shield for himself.
Chen Yu did not expect the Chinese journalist Ma Dexiu, who first asked him a sensitive question.
This is a new reporter in Europe sent by China's CCTV Sports Channel, only 25 years old, not tall, handsome, and capable, she mainly tracks China's overseas players, focusing on Chen Yu, in China, the news of Chen Yu is news.
Since Chen Yu returned to the national team, the Chinese media has greatly increased the publicity of Chen Yu, and the news of Chen Yu sent back from Europe will make headlines in the sports pages of major Chinese newspapers, and in professional sports newspapers, Chen Yu has basically contracted the front page headlines.
In addition to the print media, Chen Yu is also the darling of the TV station, in addition to the overwhelming advertisements endorsed by Chen Yu, documentaries about Chen Yu and goal highlights are also often broadcast, in just half a year, Chen Yu's fame in China has reached a new level, and he has almost become a national husband.
"Hello Chen Yu, I want to ask you a question, on the field, around the 70th minute of the game, Benitez was ready to replace you, why didn't you change it later?"
Ma Dexiu's big eyes stared at Chen Yu. A look of humility and inquiry.
Chen Yu looked at Ma Dexiu carefully and said, "The newcomer is very beautiful." ”
Ma Dexiu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Thank you, I'm CCTV sports reporter Ma Dexiu, and I'll be mixed with you in the future." Seeing that Chen Yu didn't say anything after saying this, he reminded: "Chen Yu, you haven't answered my question yet." ”
Chen Yu smiled and said calmly: "This matter is a misunderstanding, the coach and the fourth official miscommunicated, and the wrong sign was raised." ”
Ma Dexiu stared at Chen Yu's eyes and said abruptly: "Chen Yu, don't use this childish answer to deal with me, I'm not a three-year-old child." ”
Chen Yu's face changed slightly, but he still smiled calmly: "You said you mixed with me just now, but now it looks like you don't want to mix." ”
The photojournalists who followed Ma Dexiu laughed, and those who could understand Chinese also laughed.
Ma Dexiu's face remained unchanged, but there was anger in his eyes, and he said, "I'll ask again......"
Before Ma Dexiu finished asking, he was pushed aside by an English reporter, Chen Yu was unwilling to answer her questions, and other reporters were still waiting to ask questions, so naturally she would not be allowed to "occupy" Chen Yu.
The purpose of the British reporter is actually the substitution incident in the game, but he is an old reporter, and he is much more tactful, "It's not uncommon to change oolong, Chen Yu, is it a coincidence today?" However, judging from Gerrard's substitution, it seems that it makes more sense to replace you. ”
Chen Yu saw that the two reporters asked this question, and knew that if he didn't answer, the reporters behind him would definitely ask this question, so it was better to simply explain it together, saving trouble.
Chen Yu coughed lightly and said: "I think reporters should speak with facts, instead of thinking about ...... every day" When he said this, Chen Yu looked at Ma Dexiu, who was squeezed aside, and saw that her snow-white face was as cold as frost, not only wanted to laugh, but continued: "Whether it is the wrong person or not the wrong person, these are not important, what matters is who was replaced in the end, who won the victory in the end, and what the effect of the substitution was, what I said is it." ”
Although the British reporter was not satisfied with this answer, he often interviewed Chen Yu, and Chen Yu was a little familiar, and it was not easy to stalk, so he had to ask the next question, "Chen Yu, today's battle between Chelsea and Liverpool is the focus, Liverpool has three championships to compete for, but Chelsea only two, the Champions League is actually very difficult, the FA Cup has become Chelsea's best choice, why can Liverpool beat them to advance when Chelsea is so desperate?" ”
The British reporter went around in a circle, and in fact, he still wanted to talk about the contradiction between Chen Yu and Benitez.
Of course, Chen Yu will not talk about it on this topic, he said with a smile: "There are many factors that affect the football game, such as morale, confidence, unity, luck, etc., but in the final analysis, it still depends on strength, I think our strength is stronger than Chelsea, so we won." ”
Chen Yu's shameless words made the reporters speechless, which can also be said that there is no difference between Chelsea and Liverpool in grade, and there is no difference in strength, and it is actually some off-field factors that determine the outcome of the game.
Maybe it was Chen Yu's words that stimulated the reporter, maybe the reporter felt that it was too embarrassing to be led by Chen Yu by the nose like this, and a reporter directly forced the palace to say: "Chen Yu, do you have a conflict with Coach Benitez?" I think today's substitution is a bit of a miracle. ”
The reporter's question was direct, and Chen Yu answered more simply. "No, I don't have any contradictions with the coach, we get along very happily......" Speaking of this, Chen Yu's face sank, and said: "Regarding the substitution, I hope to mention it here today, who wants to mention it again in the future, don't blame me for not giving face." ”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he no longer accepted anyone's interview, turned around and walked into the middle of his teammates, and celebrated the team's promotion with them with the fans.
After briefly sorting out his thoughts, Benitez thought about the possible questions of the press conference reporters, and then came to the press conference hall in advance.
Sure enough, Grant hadn't arrived yet, and Benitez unscrewed the mineral water bottle and waited for Grant to arrive while drinking the water.
It was almost five minutes before Grant arrived in a hurry, looking even more ugly than on the pitch, and it looked like the Chelsea management might have just criticised him.
After the two coaches shook hands, Grant spoke first, expressing regret for the loss and taking full responsibility for the loss, believing that he had slackened a little after taking the lead and was unable to extend the score in time to seal the win, which was a big factor in Chelsea's defeat in this game.
Then Grant strongly indignantly accused Chen Yu, saying that Chen Yu's fake fall was an important reason for Chelsea's loss, if it wasn't for the red card of Makelele caused by Chen Yu's fake fall, Chelsea would not have lost in 120 minutes, as for who advanced in the end, it depends on the penalty. Grant hopes that the Football Association will investigate Chen Yu's fake fall incident and punish Chen Yu.
In the end, Grant said that he would do his best to lead Chelsea to a good Champions League, and if Chelsea can succeed in the Champions League, even without the league and FA Cup, this season will be a successful season for Chelsea.
When Benitez spoke, he first refuted Grant's fake fall, saying that Chen Yu could not fake a fall, and would not fake a fall, because according to the normal penalty scale, Chelsea should send a quarter of the number of people.
Then Benitez explained the substitution incident, saying that he said the wrong number, so that there was such a joke, he hoped that the media and fans would not be overly sensitive, and he and Chen Yu had a very tacit understanding, and he hoped that the two could cooperate until retirement.
Of course, the reporter will not spare the two coaches, Grant has been asked when to get out of class, Benitez was asked if there is any conflict with Chen Yu, the two coaches were also asked in a hurry, and left the press conference hall under the pretext of something, and at the post-match press conference of the FA Cup game, it was the first time that the two managers fled at the same time, which made the host very surprised and annoyed, but there was nothing to do.
