Fame with a ball

Before Redknapp occupied the pages of major British newspapers for a few days, he was squeezed out by another person's news.

In an exclusive interview with the British "Times" in mid-March, Capello admitted that after the coaching contract with the English Football Association expires in June this year, neither side will renew the contract.And he will go to Turin, Italy in the new season of 6-12 to coach the giants Juventus.

The Football Association of England followed suit and posted a statement on the official website the next day: We regret to announce that after the contract with the current head coach Fabio Capello expired in June this year, The contract will not be renewed and we will announce the next England manager at that time.Capello is a very good head coach. In the past four years, he has led the England national team to achieve remarkable results. We wish him the best in his future coaching career.

The Juventus club also posted a statement welcoming Capello on its official website.

Newspapers in England and Turin hyped up the news.

Compared with the local media in Turin and the pro-Juventus media's welcome and expectations for Capello, the iron-blooded coach, the British local tabloids, which have always been mean and harsh, even the royal family dare to criticize, are hyping the new Three Lions. When the first head coach would be, he brought up the old matter again, revealing that Capello had publicly stated his intention to retire three times, but repented three times, and laughed and said: "I don't know the great Capello Will Mr. Luo announce again at the press conference that he is going to retire as the head coach of Juventus? Juventus fans don’t need to worry at all, because everyone knows that Mr. Capello is just talking .”

British tabloid journalists are like this, they have the nature of the people of Great Britain: stubborn and inexplicable pride.If you were a foreigner who brought England glory, they might give you a little respect and less sarcasm.But once you leave this land, those tabloid reporters will no longer have any estimates, and will put you with all other celebrities to make unscrupulous comments, and even a little bit more malicious.

It is said that when Capello saw the news in the "Sun" that specifically satirized him, he tore the newspaper to pieces in a rage, and claimed that he would sue the reporter who wrote the news for slander. .However, the matter ended up falling through—unless you really hated the reporter, the process of going to court with the British tabloids is extremely difficult and complicated.

And as we all know, English tabloid reporters are famous gossips all over the world. The law of freedom of speech seems to be specially set for them. With such a reliance, they even dare to report gossip about the royal family.At most, the court sentenced the reporter to apologize to Capello. Presumably Capello weighed the pros and cons in the end and chose to pretend he didn't know about it.

In addition to hyping Capello's departure, many media, especially the local media in Turin, are speculating whether Capello will carry out a major cleanup within the team after he comes to the Bianconeri.

"Turin Sports Daily" specially published a supplement, written by the famous football commentator Alva Fick, to discuss how Capello's arrival will change the Juventus locker room.

"When Capello was coaching Juventus for the first time, he allowed the Bianconeri to win the Serie A championship in the two seasons of 04-05,05 and 06-[-] at that time, creating a 'Capello-style' brilliance. Now it is absolutely The champion coach Fabio Capello is going to return to Serie A again. With his familiarity with Serie A and his consistent steel wrist, he can completely shock the Juventus locker room and cause an earth-shaking change. This is beyond doubt. Maybe he will bring Juventus a second glory after relegation."

"As we all know, although Capello's coach has excellent on-the-spot scheduling ability and knows people well, he is a tyrant of the team. He manages the locker room in the same way as the army. This iron-blooded coach has a unique personality. , has always insisted that his authority is inviolable. For this reason, when he coached AC Milan, Roma, and Juventus before relegation, world superstars Baggio, Totti, Batty and Del Piero have all encountered Capello's ruthless purges and suppressions - just because they don't fit Capello's usual tactical style."

"Capello pays attention to defense, and his tactics are basically a 442 formation of defensive counterattack, and he hopes that the players' physical fitness is better, rather than the skills at their feet. His philosophy of running the army is only to win, and the rest doesn't care The art and skill of football? Sorry, it's not Capello's taste. So, when the new season comes, don't be surprised if there is an earthquake in the Juventus dressing room, because their new The coach - it's Capello."

"Before this season, the Juventus president once said in an interview with the media that the team lacks more technical players like Fanfa, Muller, Ozil, and Berbatten. He will bring them to the Come to the New Alpi Stadium. However, the arrival of Fabio Capello undoubtedly shattered the dreams of Chairman Andre Agnelli. The iron-blooded coach will not need such a player. Juventus fans want to see beautiful artistic football , you can only go to other leagues to find it.”

Although there are still two or three months before the end of the season, as the commentator Fick said in his column, the Juventus locker room has now begun to panic.

The team's head coach Conte can hardly control the locker room anymore. The old heroes of the team, such as captain Del Piero, Buffon and Grosso, or the forward Wuxi who just transferred this season Nicky and Vidal are both worried about their fate for the next season.

Especially the zebra prince - Alessandro Piero.The core of the Bianconeri, the absolute main force who has played for Juventus for 20 years, as early as the 04-05 season when Capello came to the New Alps Stadium for the first time, he had a quarrel with the head coach.It was only because of Del Piero's unshakable position in the Juventus team and in the hearts of Juventus fans that Capello failed to clean him up.

Later, in 06, the Bianconeri were punished for relegation due to the infamous Calciopoli incident. Capello left Juventus almost immediately. People remember Capello's ruthlessness at the time, and successfully made Juventini and the others worship him as a god.I remember that year, all the Italian media were comparing Capello and Del Piero, sneering at the former and admiring the latter.

In the 10-11 season, Del Piero was able to win the best player in Serie A at the age of 37. There is no doubt that he can still play until he is 40 years old.But now, in the upcoming 12-13 new season, the ruthless Emperor Capello will come to the New Alps Stadium again.Considering the bad relationship between him and Capello, and the fact that his contract with the club will end at the end of this season, the head coach's opinion will occupy a large part of whether the club will renew his contract.

The eternal zebra prince, already 38 years old, is Del Piero, who almost set a record for professional players playing in the top league. Where will he go?

……

Lin Zhigao also paid attention to the news of the Serie A league.

To ask why?

Who let him have a friend who is the owner of a wealthy Serie A club!

Yes, since Paris, Lin Zhigao has maintained a personal friendship with John Elchin.From time to time, they would call or send text messages to communicate and talk to each other about all kinds of troubles and happy things that happened around them.

In fact, Lin Zhigao never thought of being friends with a wealthy son like Elchin, not because he didn't want to, but because he felt that he "can't afford it".You must know that the class gap can never be eliminated. There are always some rich people who look at the poor with contempt in their eyes unconsciously.

Lin Zhigao never thought of taking the initiative to contact John Elchin or something, he was afraid that he would be too enthusiastic and be regarded by the other party as having ulterior motives!So at the beginning, it was Erqin who took the initiative to contact Lin Zhigao. He also said the reason: making friends and chatting with people from different living environments can help release stress and relax the spirit.

It’s just that as time passed, Lin Zhigao gradually realized that John was not at all the same as those arrogant rich second generations in China. He was very gentlemanly and personable, and he could make friends with anyone, even beggars on the side of the road. He can also be polite to each other.Compared with John Elchin, Lin Zhigao knows what an upstart is!

...Although he himself is not even an upstart.

Being bombarded by news about Capello and Juventus in various newspapers, Lin Zhigao unconsciously talked about this topic when he texted Elchin: "The newspapers said that Del Piero is next Is it true that the season will leave Juventus?"

Elchin replied: "I leave the affairs of the team to the head coach. I generally don't get involved in player transfers. Especially Fabio, he hates someone in the locker room who has more authority than himself. I have to give him enough respect when it comes to player transfers."

"Then why isn't you the chairman of Juventus? Obviously you hold the most shares."

Elchin's reply was rarely mischievous. "I have enough titles on me, and a few more will overwhelm people. And Andre (referring to the Juventus chairman) loves football. He can't be a player anymore at his age, so let him be the club chairman. Have fun."

"...Are you showing off to me that you are richer than me and have more fame and social status?"

"I'm just feeling that I'm older and wrinkled than you. ╮(╯_╰)╭"

"Ahh! Don't believe me!"

"How about a bottle of red wine from my winery in Bordeaux to make amends?"

"Three bottles!" The high-quality French red wine produced by a private winery is the most face-saving gift!

"Two bottles."

"make a deal!"

"I'll send someone to London next week..."

……

The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League were all over on March 3. The quarter-finals are: Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League, Zenit St. Petersburg in the Russian Super League, Lyon in Ligue 15, Barcelona and Real in La Liga. Madrid, Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, Inter Milan in Serie A.

Two Premier League clubs have advanced to the quarter-finals, and the whole of the UK is cheering. All fans are looking forward to Arsenal and Chelsea's No. 12 Big Ears Cup for England this year.

And the most famous stars in these teams are not them, nor this year's dark horse Zenit St. Petersburg, but Real Madrid.

Want to say that such a giant that has avoided the Champions League trophy nine times in history can become the focus of this UEFA Champions League?

That's because Real Madrid finally don't have to dream eight this year.

9 Champions League trophies, reached the Champions League final 12 times, and stopped in the semi-finals 9 times.

Real Madrid, the best club in the 20th century with such brilliant achievements, has not entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League for seven consecutive years from the 04-05 season to the 10-11 season.

Finally this year, the Real Madrid team led by Mourinho broke the curse of the dream eight in the previous seven years, and finally once again stepped into the top eight of the Champions League.And the absolute core of the team, Ronaldo, was also touted by all the Madrid media because he scored the decisive goal in the match against CSKA Moscow.

Some newspapers even used a large photo of Cristiano Ronaldo and the current Real Madrid captain San Cassie on the cover, and the headlines were particularly eye-catching: "Although San Cassie is the captain, Ronaldo is the absolute core!" "

Perhaps it was specifically to highlight the title of the headline, and the photo of Ronaldo on the page is also much larger than that of Saint Cassie.

However, if this news is published by media from other countries, Real Madrid fans and the media in Madrid may acknowledge it proudly and show off Ronaldo's skills.

However, this news is an article published by the Catalan media!

So the taste of this news suddenly became a little different. All the diehard Real Madrid fans who saw this news were thinking: Are the hateful Catalan reporters deliberately sowing discord?

Everyone on the earth knows that Real Madrid and Barcelona are sworn enemies, and Madrid and Catalonia, where they are located, are also sworn enemies.And this kind of grievance is not only about competition, but has risen to the height of politics and nationality. The Catalonia region has wanted to separate from Spain for many years, and the independent support rate in the polls is as high as 70%—no matter where they are One praised the other party, even if you really meant it sincerely, you would be reprimanded by the other party as having a ulterior motive.

The media in Madrid quickly counterattacked. They sent reporters to guard the training ground of Real Madrid. They took photos of Ronaldo and San Cassie training together, talking and laughing, and published them in the newspaper: "Real Madrid players Unite as one, and absolutely not be provoked by the outside world! "The Catalan media laughed and said: "The Madrid media tried to cover up, and the Real Madrid locker room was chaotic." Madrid fought back again: "Barcelona feared that Real Madrid would win, and played psychological warfare before the game." The Catalan media immediately reported on the second day. A small cartoon was published in the newspaper: a young fan wearing a Real Madrid jersey burst into tears, waving the Real Madrid team flag, and said: "I like Real Madrid. They broke into the Champions League quarter-finals in the first year. It's amazing!"

The strong sense of irony in this comic made more Madrid media and Real Madrid fans overwhelmed, and they all rushed into this verbal battle.

This media war between the two regions, where you come and go, and don't give an inch, is extremely lively, and even attracted the attention of the media from other countries on the Europa continent.

In the end, the madman Mourinho, who always burst out amazing words every time he appeared, couldn't help but come out. When he was interviewed by the "Madrid Post", he said expressionlessly: "Barcelona always likes to beat their opponents off the court. , instead of playing a fair game on the pitch. Their news reports certainly won't affect the mental state of the Real Madrid players, ha, we prefer to see their performance as a joke. To be honest, just in Yesterday, Cristiano and San Cassie laughed because they read the "Catalan Post". In fact, I think the Real Madrid club should really pay the Catalan journalists for their entertainment. It helped my players and put them in a good mood before the game."

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw began and ended in this lively environment of media quarrels. Although many media had predicted the result after the draw, when they actually saw the match table, they were still drawn coldly. He took a deep breath, and then shouted in his heart: This is a good show to watch!

Barcelona vs Chelsea

Arsenal vs Zenit St Petersburg

Real Madrid VS Lyon

Inter Milan VS Bayern Munich

Barcelona and Chelsea, because of the Stamford Bridge scandal in 09, fans of these two teams still regard each other as mortal enemies in their hearts, and wish they could solve it immediately and then quickly.

Arsenal and Zenit St. Petersburg, one is a beautiful artistic football, the other is a brutal physical football, the collision of these two teams made many reporters boldly predict: Injuries and red cards will definitely be indispensable in this game!

Real Madrid and Lyon, one is the team that UEFA President Platini hates the most, and the other is the team of Platini's country... Do you think there will be any changes in this?

Compared with the first three groups, the match between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich is not so attractive.

Many reporters also speculated that such a matchup was deliberately arranged by UEFA in advance.

Because the more controversial the match table, the greater the hatred between the two sides, the more it can attract the attention of the media and fans, the more UEFA can expand its influence from it, and the more benefits can be obtained from viewing and broadcasting——UEFA It's not that the United have done such deliberate work before, such as specially ranking rivals in the same group to increase the attention of the Champions League.

But no matter what the reporters think or say, this is just speculation.

On March 3, the 25th round of the Premier League just ended. In the first two rounds of the league, Queens Park Rangers met Fulham and Chelsea respectively.

Because Chelsea is busy preparing for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, only two main players were placed in the 30th round of the league, and the rest of the main players sat on the bench to watch the game.Based on the principle of taking advantage of your illness and killing you, Queens Park Rangers vigorously increased their league points and defeated Chelsea again 1-0.

The team still firmly maintains the No.3 position in the standings, but Tottenham behind the buttocks are also very tight, only one point less than Queens Park Rangers.

On the 27th, Queens Park Rangers set off from the club with all the players and drove to Stamford Bridge.

They didn't go to the game, but to watch the game.

What will be held here is the first match of Chelsea's Champions League quarter-finals at home, and the away team is Barcelona.

QPR's players have never played against a team outside the Premier League and Warnock feels the club is now locked in a place in next season's European competition - be it the Champions League or the Europa League.

In that case, next season in Europe, there will always be super giants from other leagues, so today, the club pays for all players to go to the scene to watch the game, get in touch with what is currently known as no opponent on earth, and rush out of the galaxy - Team Cosmos, Barcelona.

Of course, accumulating rich experience is Warnock's goal for the players. Lin Zhigao has another goal, which is to take a good look at Messi.

He still doesn't quite believe that the small and handsome man he met in the college stadium half a year ago is Messi...

God, he is currently recognized as the new generation of football champions. Domestic fans call him "Mei Tianwang". How could he wander around the streets of London when he has nothing to do?
