Football: the history of the first ball

Xiao Jian also knew it well and knew the purpose of Gua Shuai calling him.

He is a smart man and does not need to wait for Guardiola to make insinuating remarks.

"Guardian, don't worry, my playing music will not affect my football. This is a way for me to relax.

For example, most players would choose to drink some beer to relax, but I don’t drink, so I find that singing is very helpful for me to relax after training and games. In this Champions League game against Naples, I will let you see a brand new me. . "

This kid is really smart. You have finished what you said, and I am still talking nonsense.

Gua Shuai laughed and cursed in his heart.

"There is no room for failure in this game. Our goal for this Champions League is to enter the semi-finals. This level must be passed. I want to see your performance and hope you don't disappoint me. I only want to say one thing, you must Remember, your main job is football. Okay, you go out."

Xiao Jian nodded and walked out of Guashuai's office.

He knows that if Guardiola does not suspect that he is not doing his job properly, he must win the game the day after tomorrow and his condition must be good.

Therefore, he frequently played good goals in training, which made Guardiola feel more and more confident about him.

This Champions League game is more attractive than most people expected.

Online tickets were sold out instantly, and most of Manchester City's tickets are package tickets. Only a small number of tickets can be sold online and offline.

With [-] offline tickets available, it was already overcrowded. The queue of several hundred meters was so long that it was so frustrating that some people even took to the floor and queued up all night long.

All this is because the football king Maradona and many elites from Naples came to compete.

The last Champions League match between the two sides ended in a draw. If not for Maradona's last-minute display of prowess, Manchester City would have won an away victory under the leadership of Xiao Jian.

Therefore, Manchester City fans held their breath in this game. This game must be won.

The Manchester City players were also very sorry for the draw. Even with the leadership of Maradona, they found that as long as Xiao Jian was there, they could definitely compete with the Naples team.

This home battle is a must-win.

There is another surprising phenomenon in this game.

There were actually many music enthusiasts among the fans who bought tickets. They were attracted by a song by Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian has attracted people who are not fans across borders, which is actually good for football.

When a person becomes a loyal fan of a star, he will strongly support him whether he plays football or sings.

Because the number of people grabbing tickets has skyrocketed, it has also made it extremely difficult to get tickets for this game.

Fans who bought package tickets proudly showed off online.

Xiao Jian will buy some tickets for every game and give them to fans who have not bought tickets during the live broadcast.

This is also a gift from him to his fans.

The tactics deployed by Guardiola these days are to attack with all strength. The lineups of both sides are expected to be basically the same in this game. Everyone has already understood each other in the previous game. There is no need to test each other in this game, just do it.

After the players from both sides entered the stadium, Manchester City's home court was already packed.

Xiao Jian and Maradona guessed, and then the two hugged tightly with smiles on their faces.

But everyone knows that this is the friendship between master and disciple, which does not affect the two of them who are at war with each other and kill everyone.

This life-and-death battle in the Champions League has attracted countless reporters and television broadcasts from various countries as usual. Countless guns and cannons are waiting on the sidelines for the game to start.
