Chapter 902: FIFA Virus
Everyone was dumbfounded, a 2-0 lead in the first 20 minutes was considered a win? Tang Zhenglong's math was indeed taught by the physical education teacher.
"Savilla, you really care about the players, how I want to play under you."
ββ¦β¦β
Saville herself was embarrassed.
Tang Zhenglong continued; "Think about it, the Chinese team can beat Brazil and Portugal in the World Cup, but Argentina beat us 2 in 20 minutes, do you think this is the strongest Argentina in history?"
The reporter couldn't listen to it anymore, feeling that this was a serious humiliation of his own intelligence.
"Tang, then you should talk about the Chinese team."
"The Chinese team? There's nothing to say, it's still up to Tang Zhenglong alone. β
β¦β¦
"Anyway, if Tang Zhenglong is here, the Chinese team will win, this is called Tang Zhenglong's second law."
"The second law? What about the first law? β
Tang Zhenglong rolled his eyes.
"The first law is that if Tang Zhenglong is not there, the Chinese team will lose."
DUANGοΌοΌ
The reporters are gone, and I can't listen anymore.

I don't know when it started, the international break is also known as the FIFA virus, because many players left the club in good health, but came back with serious injuries, and the national team used players for free, which made the club very unhappy.
Why should the players who are raised by themselves with high salaries be given to the national team for free, and they cannot guarantee their health?
A giant like Real Madrid is naturally the biggest victim of the FIFA virus.
Cristiano Ronaldo came back from Portugal with a swollen knee.
The team doctor has informed Mourinho that Ronaldo will have at least a week of rest, and Marcelo is also injured.
Ramos and Alonso were also a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that there were few people on the training ground, Mourinho was furious.
"It's all for the national team, there's no need to do the club league!!"
Mores laughed: "Then what else can be done? β
"Resist."
"Resistance? The G14 was disbanded. β
G14 are the 14 top giants in Europe, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester United, AC Milan, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid.
The alliance was designed to resist the hegemony of FIFA and UEFA, but it was dissolved in 2008.
Mourinho puffed up, "By the way, Tang Zhenglong's guy is okay, right?" β
"Don is fine."
"That's good."
The weekend league is with Osasuna, and next week is the first match of the Champions League against Ajax, Ronaldo can't play, and if Tang Zhenglong has any problems, then surrender directly.
Said Cao Cao, Tang Zhenglong arrived.
Tang Zhenglong ran to the training ground and began to jog.
Mourinho followed.
"Don, can you go to the national team less in the future?"
Mourinho thought to himself, UEFA can't afford to offend, AFC doesn't care.
"Boss, I won't be going to the national team in half a year."
Mourinho laughed, "I just like Asia, there are few games, it's great." β
"But why half a year, not a year?"
"Because of the Asian Cup in January next year."
Mourinho chuckled in his heart, he had a sense of foreboding.
In fact, for European giants, the influence of the FIFA virus is still second, and the real big cancer is something called the Africa Cup.
The Africa Cup of Nations, which is played in the middle of the European League, is particularly cheating, and what is even more terrifying is that the Africa Cup of Nations is held every two years.
Those big African internationals are miserable.
When Mourinho was still at Chelsea, he was tortured by the Africa Cup of Nations several times, and Essien and Drogba were all sucked away.
"Asian Cup?"
"Don't tell me you're going back to the Asian Cup?"
Tang Zhenglong was stunned.
"Boss, what do you want? That's for sure. β
DUANGοΌοΌοΌ
The Africa Cup of Nations nightmare repeated.
"Why can't these continents honestly host competitions in the summer?"
"Don, I have a question."
"What?"
"Why can't you hold the Asian Cup in the summer, it's so good that it doesn't affect the league."
Tang Zhenglong thought for a while, "It seems to be the same, why don't you go and talk to the president of the AFC?" β
Mourinho was stupid.
"Anyway, you can't leave Real Madrid, I won't let anyone go."
"Boss, this is not up to you, as long as the national team calls me, then the club must release people, this is FIFA regulations."
Mourinho can't help it.
"By the way, is the Asian Cup once every few years?"
"Four years."
Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it's not like the Africa Cup of Nations, which is once every two years.
"Don, it's up to you for the weekend's league, it's more difficult for the team right now."
"yes, I see."
*****
In the weekend match with Osasuna, Real Madrid lost 0-1, and Tang Zhenglong was stared at.
Jose Mourinho spoke to reporters after the game.
"Jose, what's wrong with this game?"
ββ¦β¦β
Mourinho didn't speak, and the reporter continued to ask.
"Can you say something?"
"Are you blind?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Everyone was stunned.
"We've lost so many main players, it's good that this game can play like this, and if it goes on like this, I have to go to the second team to transfer people."
The reporter was relieved.
"Jose, are you implying that it's FIFA's fault?"
"Of course! The conflict between club and national team cannot go on like this, and I want FIFA to cover the salary of the team during the injury phase. β
"But it's the player's responsibility to play for the country."
Mourinho sneered: "If I don't give you money, will you work for me?" β
"The club spent so much money to raise players, why should we give the national team free use, are we wronged?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"If this problem cannot be solved, then there must be the next G14 alliance, otherwise a giant like Real Madrid simply cannot survive."
*******
"Jose, you're in trouble." Mores arrived at Mourinho's office, where he was leaning back in his chair and his legs crossed on the table.
"I know."
"Now I write everything, you look at this report, Jose scolded FIFA, should the World Cup be canceled?"
"Huh."
"And this one."
"Jose smells of copper, football shouldn't be like this, it's a player's duty to play for his country."
"Don't read it to me, I don't care, I just want to say what I want to say, that's my character."
"Can't you just restrain yourself?"
"Is that still Jose Mourinho?"
"Huh."
******
Switzerland, UEFA headquarters.
Several bigwigs of the Disciplinary Committee are in session.
It has been suggested that Mourinho should be punished severely.
"If this matter is settled like this, then the new G14 will be born, think about how much trouble it caused back then?"
There are also fears that punishing Mourinho will exacerbate the conflict.
In the end, UEFA decided to give Mourinho a one-match ban.
