Chapter 48: First Arrival in Spain
Liverpool and Manchester United drew and let Arsenal take advantage of it and successfully climbed to the first place, which made Liverpool and Manchester United angry, and they all swore that when they met Arsenal, they would teach Arsenal a good lesson.
But Arsenal got it as a fish belly, and you said that you would bully it. Today's Arsenal momentum is very good, the team is basically all positions of the players are very strong, but also not too many injuries and suspensions, coupled with Henry's rapid growth under the guidance of Bergkamp, has become Arsenal's number one killer at the moment. Everything about Arsenal is showing the outside world that we at Arsenal are definitely going to fight for the Premier League title today.
For all this, George did not care and did not care, because at the moment George was with the team, on a flight to Spain, because there, Liverpool will face the first opponent of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid.
In fact, this time Liverpool's luck can be said to be good, it can also be said to be unlucky, this time in the Champions League group stage, the three opponents, are Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon and the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.
It can be said that this time Liverpool's opponents, in addition to Bayern Munich, the strength of the other two opponents is not very weak. But from another point of view, which team can enter the Champions League, which is a simple opponent, although Liverpool's strength is stronger than Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon, but it is not easy to defeat the opponent.
Coupled with the start of the Champions League, the Premier League competitions also started at the same time, which is a severe test of the players' physical fitness.
Anyway, in short, the game still has to be played, sitting on the plane, George, who is closing his eyes and recuperating, thinking back to the game in Milan City and Inter Milan, thinking of Materazzi who almost cost himself, George couldn't help clenching his fists, and secretly thought to himself: Damn, it's best to meet you Inter Milan when you are in the knockout round, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will find an opportunity to repay your "favor" to Lao Tzu.
Of course, George's heart is naturally almost costing his own Materazzi, you must know that this incident at the beginning, due to some excited fans of Liverpool, almost escalated into a diplomatic influence incident. Although UEFA imposed a severe penalty on Materazzi, disqualifying him from all Champions League games since the victory over Liverpool, he also had a hefty fine. But in George's eyes, these are just a small meaning, compared to the situation when he was almost abolished, Materazzi undoubtedly took a big advantage.
In fact, this can't blame UEFA's punishment of Materazzi is light, if under normal circumstances, Materazzi's punishment will definitely not be very light, but that incident escalated to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, which makes UEFA also have to be a grandson, no way, a small football organization, can not compete with a country at all.
Although that incident was Materazzi's mistake, Italy is also a country no matter how it is said, and it has to save face to some extent. It is precisely for this reason that Materazzi's punishment is relatively light, and it can almost be said that it is just a process.
George is very clear about these things, and George himself didn't say anything about this, after all, George knows very well that no matter how authoritative UEFA is, it is only for football games, and things like national politics, which have nothing to do with it.
But understanding is understanding, if George is allowed to forget what Materazzi did to him so easily, this is obviously not George's character, and the belief that revenge will be avenged has long been integrated into George's blood. If Liverpool didn't run into Inter Milan in the Champions League, it would have been fine, and if they did, George would have definitely erupted (revenge).
"Damn, I hope I can meet Inter Milan in the knockout round, and that would be fine." George lowered his head and muttered.
As George's good buddies, Gerald and Owen naturally know that George has always been obsessed with that incident. At this time, Owen, who was sitting next to George, naturally understood George's thoughts when he heard George's words, so he couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, I said George, don't think about it so much, whether you can meet it is one thing, if it really happens, you don't need to do it, see how I avenge you." ”
Because of the long contact with George, the current Owen is no longer the original Sven Owen, on the contrary, George always said that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, they will be very repaid, which has been considered the truth by Owen.
If it was the former Owen, even if he was put down by the opposing defender, he would only look at the opponent a few times at most, and reason with the referee, looking like an honest man. But after George's training, Owen is different now, as long as you dare to let Owen go, Owen will definitely dare to let you go.
"Thank you~ But my affairs, I will naturally handle it, and I don't need help from others." Hearing Owen's words, George said thank you and refused. In George's thoughts, this kind of thing doesn't need others to help, a big man, who has suffered the loss of others, has to find it back in person.
knew George's character, so after hearing George's refusal, Owen just smiled and didn't say anything.
Madrid is the capital of Spain, the largest city in Spain, and the economic and transportation center of the whole country. The reputation of the Getafe team is very average, and if Giorgio hadn't come to Madrid, he wouldn't even know there was such a team. But the other two teams are different, because in the eyes of many outsiders, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid represent the football of the city of Madrid.
Real Madrid, which can be said to be the pride of the Spaniards, has brought Real Madrid into the altar of football with its outstanding record and countless honors. The whole of Spain is proud of Real Madrid, and the only one who can compete with Real Madrid is Real Madrid's sworn enemy Barcelona.
Compared with Real Madrid in the same city, Atletico Madrid is like an aristocrat and a commoner, and the wealthy Real Madrid is stronger than Atletico Madrid in terms of strength and international influence. But in the city of Madrid, it is different, perhaps because of the hatred of the rich, in the city of Madrid, Atletico Madrid obviously has more fans than Real Madrid.
Although Atletico Madrid is not as famous as Real Madrid, its strength is not trivial, even if it is a battle in the same city, Real Madrid will have to pay a great price if it wants to beat Atletico Madrid, which shows the strength level of Atletico Madrid, in short, just like the Spanish media, Atletico Madrid is a typical home dragon team. Because at home of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has a high win rate.
