Chapter 249
"Boss, we've been criticized again today."
"Yeah."
"Some media write about it so badly, do you want to read it?"
"No."
"No, brother...we've been criticized! Don't you have any reaction? Shouldn't we ask the Yorkshire Post to write an article to fight back?"
The league match with Tottenham Hotspur will be held in four days.
So after the Champions League yesterday, Li Shiguang did not give the team a holiday, and training was still as usual today.
As soon as he walked to the training ground, Simeone came up with an unhappy face and started to complain about the major media today in front of Li Shiguang.
Li Shiguang has always been too lazy to pay attention to these stupid media, but seeing Simeone so concerned, he decided to persuade him: "Diego, in this case, I have to teach you a lesson again. Let me ask you, as a head coach, in addition to leading the team to continuous victory, what other qualities should you have?"
"Ensure the stability and unity of the locker room?" Simeone blurted out, he remembered that Li Shiguang had told him before.
Hearing this answer, Li Shiguang gave Simeone a speechless look: "You only remember this, right?"
"What else? Didn't you teach me last time in the cafeteria?"
"Okay, okay, you want to play with me like this, right?" Li Shiguang, who was angry with Simeone, said while stretching out his legs to Simeone's butt.
"Hey, hey, hey... Let's talk it over, boss, let's talk it over, everyone is watching!" Simeone dodged Li Shiguang's attack with a smile, and then pointed at the players who were curiously looking at this side.
Following the direction of Simeone's finger, Li Shiguang turned his head and shouted with a dark face: "What are you looking at, run laps! Everyone will add 5 more laps!"
With the threat of adding 5 laps, the players turned their attention from the two people back to training.
"Hey, boss, just say it directly. It's not a good habit to keep people in suspense." While Li Shiguang was talking, Simeone quietly came back to Li Shiguang and said flatteringly.
Resisting the urge to kick Simeone, Li Shiguang slowly said, "Keep a stable mentality! It is also one of the compulsory courses for a team coach!"
Stable mentality?
I am very stable when I am on the court?
But these media scolded me so badly, and I am not allowed to respond?
Simeone didn't quite understand what Li Shiguang meant, and continued to look at him curiously with blinking eyes.
Knowing that Simeone didn't understand what he meant, Li Shiguang sighed and continued, "Like you just said, I want to ask you, what's the point of asking the Yorkshire Post to fight back against these media that attacked us? We did lose! If we win, we brag, if we lose, we scold. Isn't this what all the media in the world are best at?"
"But their scolding is too ugly!" Simeone pursed his lips, looking unhappy.
Seeing that Simeone was still a little unhappy, Li Shiguang patted his shoulder and comforted him, "You care about them, look at Ferguson, Manchester United hasn't won a championship for so many years, and his back is swollen from being scolded by these media! But as long as you don't confront him face to face, have you seen him respond?"
When Li Shiguang mentioned Ferguson, Simeone really thought about it.
It seems to be true. Manchester United's performance has been poor in recent years and it is indeed often scolded, but Ferguson seems to have never responded to these media with any fierce remarks.
"Then wait for them to say so? We don't have any countermeasures?" Even though he figured it out, Simeone, who was not in a good temper, didn't like to be scolded passively.
"What did I tell you before? Competitive sports?"
"Is being bad the original sin?"
"That's right, let them scold you now, and write down the names of these media in a small notebook. When we win the Premier League, when they send you interview requests, you reject them all! Believe it or not, this is more painful than killing these media!"
"Boss!"
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly realized that you are a really bad person!"
····
After Li Shiguang's guidance, Simeone's mood was obviously much better.
But the victims became the Leeds United players. In order to reject the interview requests from these media after winning the Premier League, Simeone really trained these players to death in the remaining training time today.
Seeing this situation, Li Shiguang was also happy to be free. At four o'clock, he punched out on time.
After returning home, having dinner and taking a comfortable bath, he turned on the two TVs in the living room on time and leaned on the sofa waiting for the start of the two Champions League games tonight.
ThisThe grouping of the top eight teams in the Champions League this season has changed due to the appearance of Leeds United and the grouping in Li Shiguang's memory. Originally, AC Milan should have eliminated Bayern Munich and entered the semi-finals, but now both teams have reached the semi-finals.
In the lower half.
In the first round, Manchester United lost 1:2 to Roma away, and Chelsea tied 1:1 with Valencia at home.
If history is followed, Manchester United will win a big victory over Roma at home today, and Chelsea will win a small victory over Valencia away, and the two teams from the Premier League will both advance to the semi-finals.
But there have been changes in the upper half, who knows if the lower half will?
With this uncertain expectation, Li Shiguang waited for the game to start with great interest.
At 9:45 pm, the two games kicked off at the same time.
But Li Shiguang only watched for 20 minutes and focused his attention entirely on the Chelsea game. Because in less than 20 minutes, Manchester United had already scored three goals at home.
Although I don't know whether the final outcome will be the same as I remember, looking at Manchester United's current state, even if Roma is not slaughtered today, it is estimated that there will be no good results.
Chelsea will play more fiercely.
Valencia, playing at home, scored the first goal by Morientes in the 32nd minute. Chelsea failed to equalize the score until the halftime whistle sounded.
But Manchester United has expanded its lead to four goals.
After the 15-minute break, the four teams changed sides and played again. Li Shiguang had turned off the TV broadcasting Manchester United's game and focused on Chelsea's game.
In the 51st minute, Mourinho's adjustment worked. Shevchenko, who came on as a substitute, helped Chelsea equalize the score. The two teams tied 2:2 in the total score and both had an away goal.
Then the game entered a stalemate.
Just when Li Shiguang thought that the two teams were going to enter overtime.
In the 90th minute, Chelsea suddenly made a strong effort. Essien received Drogba's header and shot hard in front of the penalty area, helping Chelsea take the lead away from home! In the following minutes of stoppage time, Valencia did not make any waves.
In the end, Chelsea entered the semi-finals with a score of 3:2 in two rounds.
The result of the other game did not change much. Manchester United slaughtered the visiting Roma at home with a score of 7:1, and also entered the semi-finals of this season's Champions League...
