Chapter 548: First Battle Marseille

Marseille, a port city in France, Everton and his party were treated unkindly when they arrived, first because of a problem with their luggage, and secondly because of vicious verbal attacks from some fans.

Everything was set for the Champions League group stage opener in two days, Marseille vs Everton.

When the bus arrived at the hotel, the reporter was already waiting there.

As soon as Tang Zhenglong stepped off the bus, someone immediately surrounded him.

"Don, what was your first impression of Marseille?"

"Same as S."

Boom.

Everyone was shocked.

"Don, do you mean dirty words?"

"No, I'm figurative."

Then Tang Zhenglong said what happened to the team at the airport.

"I've played so many away games in England and Germany, and the unfriendly fans are often encountered, but it's the first time I've encountered such a bad airport service, and there are our shoes and equipment in the luggage, and if we lose them, then we don't have to play."

"Don, I understand your anger, but you can't say that the city of Marseille is the same."

"Of course I can, because that's it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Soon, Tang Zhenglong's words caused a small storm in the media, only in France, of course.

Marseille fans gathered in large numbers outside the Everton hotel to demand an apology from Tang.

"Apologize."

"Apologize."

"Apologize."

There are also fans who burned Everton shirts to vent their anger.

Moyes has a bit of a headache, the Marseilles are definitely making a big fuss, in fact, because of the Champions League, they are also nervous.

Everton, like Marseille, is not the kind of team that can participate in the Champions League every year, if it is a fan of Real Madrid and Manchester United, then the Champions League group stage does not care at all, but the Marseille people can't, they care very much.

"David, why don't I go out and apologize?" Alain spoke.

"There's no need, it's not Tang Zhenglong's words at all, it's a matter of the game, they want to put pressure on us to behave abnormally during the game, we can't be fooled."

Alain nodded.

"Ignore them and let them shout."

Outside the window, the Marseillaise sounded, as if Everton were the oppressors, and the Maasai were the heroes who rose up to resist.

*****

Eric Gretz, Belgian, Marseille manager.

"With our squad, I don't dare to fantasize about the top 8 or the top 4, but I want to qualify from the group, and we are still sure."

It is not unreasonable for Eric to say that there are still a lot of strong reinforcements in the Marseille team.

Striker KonΓ©, Ivory Coast international, Niang, Senegal international, midfielder is French demon star Ben Arfa, and goalkeeper is French international Mandanda.

With such a lineup, fighting hard, and qualifying from the group is not impossible.

'We have a strong opponent, they are Premier League champions, but this is our home stadium and the three points are my goal, otherwise I wouldn't be qualified to talk about qualifying from the group.'

"What do you think of the other party's Tang Zhenglong saying that the city of Marseille is S?"

Eric smiled slightly, "I like it here, maybe the person who said this has a problem with his own brain." ”

*****

Ben Alpha, Benzema, Nasri, Mane.

The four are known as the French Four Little Swans, and they are all talented players born in 1987, but their performances are very different.

Benzema has proven himself in the national team, while Ben Arfa has basically not performed well in the senior national team, coupled with his bad temper, Ben Arfa has not had a good time after joining Marseille.

"I'm a genius, I'm another Zidane."

Like Zidane, Ben Arfa is also an African-French and has good football talent, but unlike Zidane, Ben Arfa has not yet proven himself.

In the Marseille dressing room, Ben Arfa is alone, both off and off the pitch, he is a lonely man.

"Ben, good luck."

"Thank you."

After high-fives with Mandanda, Ben Alpha walked out of the dressing room when someone bumped him from behind.

"Ahh

"You're looking for death."

"I'm sorry."

Ben Alpha looked up and saw that it was Tang Zhenglong, and what was even worse was that this was an inch of strength, and the force of the collision was not large, but Ben Alpha felt very uncomfortable in his knees.

Just like sometimes you can strain yourself even if you run a step, it's bad luck.

"You bastard, I seem to be hurt."

I'll it.

"You're better than me." Tang Zhenglong thought to himself.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, unless you're made of tofu."

Ben Arfa sat on the ground, and the player who had just left turned back.

"What's going on over here?"

"He hurt me."

As soon as the Marseille players heard it, it was okay.

"Do you want to be banned for life?"

The Marseille immediately called in the referee.

"What's going on?"

"Referee, you can watch the surveillance, it was a complete accident, they blackmailed me."

"What!! Thou shalt sue the wicked first. ”

The referee said it was better to watch the surveillance.

The thing is very clear, Ben Alpha came out of the locker room, and Tang Zhenglong accidentally bumped into him, and the strength should not be great.

"It doesn't look like much."

"yes, they blackmailed me, referee, you should send them off with the whole team."

Ben Alpha is mad.

"Referee, sometimes a little bit of strength can hurt people."

The referee nodded.

"I've seen this, it's an accident."

"How do you know it's an accident? He is Chinese. ”

Tang Zhenglong shrugged, "What's wrong with the Chinese?" ”

"The Chinese know kung fu, and he hurt me with kung fu."

Tang Zhenglong was dumbfounded, "Are you stupid watching movies?" ”

The referee said Tang Zhenglong was not responsible.

"Referee, you are too wise, you will definitely become a top international referee."

"Don't flatter the referee."

"Oh."

*****

Player's tunnel entrance.

Everton already knew that the core of the opponent's midfield was injured by Tang Zhenglong and could not play.

"Don is getting better and better now, and he can eliminate opponents off the court."

"We don't understand Tang's world, do you say he did it on purpose, or was he careless?"

"I guess it's on purpose."

"Hahaha."

David Moyes approached Tang and asked him to be careful, in which case he was likely to be retaliated against by his opponent.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of myself."

Eric Gretz went crazy when he got the news that Ben Arfa would not be able to play and he approached Moyes.

"Is that how you won the Premier League?"

"Hey, pay attention to what you're saying."

"Well, don't think you're the only ones who can play tricks."

"First, it was an accident, the referee has already seen the monitoring, and second, playing a trick? Am I afraid of you? ”

"Okay, you Scottish clown, we'll see."

Moyes held his head high, "I hope you can keep the attitude you have after the game. ”
