Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 285 Dirty Porto, confrontation at the pre-match press conference (please vote for me)

On September 9, Leicester City’s last game of the month finally arrived.

In the media press room before the game, Ranieri and Chen Yufeng sat side by side, next to Porto coach Nuno and team defender Marcano.

This is a press conference held at the same time, and conflict and confrontation are inevitable in press conferences held at the same time.

Porto coach Nuno is a goalkeeper himself. He has a tough style of play and a bad temper. He is the more passionate type.

Portuguese football coaches, especially the head coach of the Porto club, will probably inherit one thing from Mourinho, which is to set up obstacles for the players.

But sometimes, most people can't learn the essence of Mourinho.

They really want to create something to motivate the players through key places like press conferences, but they often end up self-defeating and messing up the game.

Nuno is this kind of person.

"Although the team drew with Copenhagen in the first round, I still think we will be the first in the group."

When being interviewed by the media, Nuno sat hunched over the table and sometimes tugged at his beard, just like a Chechen. "Even in the away game, we are confident of defeating Leicester City."

"I hope I won't make Mr. Ranieri and Mr. Chen Yufeng feel bad when I say this, but Leicester City is indeed a team that lacks hardness."

"Everyone has been saying that Leicester City just came out of the English Championship not long ago. Although they won the Premier League championship, they still have the same temperament as before. They don't look like a group of aristocratic children."

Nuno shook his head and waved his hands: "But from my point of view, not only do they not have the temperament they had back then, they also don't have the suppression and delicacy of the championship team. They are stuck in the middle."

"It's a bit embarrassing, and I'm sure they understand that."

Having said this, he smiled and looked at Ranieri and Chen Yufeng beside him, and continued: "It's just a football-related communication, there is no malice."

Chen Yufeng gritted his teeth and showed a fake smile, nodding towards Nuno.

Ranieri next to him also smiled reluctantly, with a slight blush on his face.

Is this no malice?

Also, by putting a hat on them and saying that they themselves understand this, are they just trying to get rid of this point?

Isn't this a pure insult?

"What does Mr. Chen Yufeng think of this Porto team?" a reporter asked again.

"Let me explain first, it's just about football exchanges, there is no malice."

Chen Yufeng turned his head and smiled, then faced the reporters, "Porto has achieved great success. Porto during Mourinho's period made countless European giants afraid."

"Later, the emergence of talented young coach Villas-Boas replicated Mourinho's miracle of winning the Triple Crown, winning a Europa League championship for the team and crushing Benfica."

"Boas is the most successful successor after Mourinho. People in the future are learning from the two of them, or learning from the original legend, Mourinho."

"But this team, which clearly has the strength and platform, has gradually lost its hope and strength in competing for the European Cup in recent years."

"This actually proves that the subsequent successors are not capable and are just mediocre people who copy cats and tigers."

"The players' passion is also used in the wrong place. They are no longer passionate about the game, but passionate about flagrant fouls. They also put on themselves the hat of tough confrontation."

"This is to act and stand at the same time. If you can't get back from winning or losing, then you should focus on disgusting the opponent."

After saying this, Chen Yufeng did not forget to wave his hand and said: "There is no malice, don't misunderstand me."

It's been a long time since he had a conflict with the opponent's head coach, and he's never had such a fierce confrontation at a press conference.

Chen Yufeng, who has gradually gained a mature temperament on the court, no longer has the thorny appearance of the past. He now wants to be a stable captain.

But in addition to being stable, the captain also has a responsibility to protect his team and the players behind him, and to fight back these inappropriate remarks directly.

It doesn't matter. Since you said that about us, don't blame him for saying unpleasant things.

The expressions of Nuno and Porto defender Marcano suddenly became ugly. Marcano even came directly to the microphone and asked, "Is there any use in talking?"

It's not like a pre-match press conference for football at this moment. On the contrary, it's like the pre-match session of UFC, which deliberately creates some confrontation and trash talk in order to heat up the game.

Unfortunately, there was no Danala Bai in the middle, and there was no chance for the players from the two teams to challenge the bull.

The only way they have to prove themselves is on the court later.

"It's useless, so I'm going to say nothing more. We'll see you on the field."

Chen Yufeng stood up with his hands spread out and walked directly towards the door. When he got to the end, he couldn't help but turn around and said: "By the way, um... what is your name?"

He looked in Marcano's direction and really forgot the defender's name.

Mr. Ranieri said it before the game, but he forgot.

Marcano thought Chen Yufeng was insulting him, so he stood up and said, "What's your name? Turn around and let me see the name on your back."

"No, I just want to tell you that when you criticize others, sometimes you should first look at yourself."

Now that Marcano said this, Chen Yufeng could only raise his hand in surprise, "Goodbye, unknown person."

As if he was really insulting Marcano, he put on a good show in front of the media.

Marcano sat down out of breath and vowed to make Chen Yufeng look good later.

…………

Not long after, the players were in the tunnel.

Players from both sides gathered here, waiting for the appearance ceremony.

Chen Yufeng stood at the front holding the ball boy, followed by the Leicester City players. Since Drinkwater had a severe fever before the game, Odegaard replaced him on the field today. This is the first time the youngster has started in the Champions League this season.

"come on."

Chen Yufeng looked at Odegaard behind him and waved towards him.

"Yeah!" Odegaard's expression was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

This scene was completely seen by Marcano, who had just had a quarrel with Chen Yufeng. He was a little far away from Chen Yufeng and could not harass Chen Yufeng at this time. He could only say harshly to Odegaard: "He's from Castilla." ?”

Odegaard watched the press conference and didn't have a good impression of the rogue defender, so he turned his head and didn't want to reply.

"I heard that all the people there are weaklings. Do you agree with this?"

Marcano laughed sarcastically, then moved closer to Odegaard, "If you are willing to clean your ass, I am willing to stay in Leicestershire for one more day and give you a room number."

"Come on, let's take a look at you. You're a tender-skinned person. You must have some thoughts in that regard."

"Feel the intensity of Porto on the court today, and you can do the same on the court..."

"Shut up!" Odegaard couldn't stand it anymore and yelled angrily.

"Hahahaha." Many people in the Porto lineup laughed, and many people even clapped their hands and whistled, as if they liked seeing this scene.

Completed a miracle?

A talented midfielder?

So what, aren't you made uncomfortable by them?

"Don't do this before the game." Porto captain Casillas waved his hand towards Marcano, telling him to calm down.

After leaving Real Madrid, Casillas came to Porto in the Portuguese Super League. This is already his second year.

He seems to be getting stronger with age, and he is still one of the world's top goalkeepers to this day.

Cassie, who is used to seeing big scenes and being used to wealthy teams, has always been a little unhappy with the behavior of his teammates, but he can't change the root cause.

Marcano also wanted to bully Odegaard, the new player in the Champions League, but this time he was grabbed by the arm by Chen Yufeng who came in front, "Listen, if you say anything to him again, then I will definitely make you look good on the court. .”

"If you want to save your legs and your career, you better shut the fuck up."

Chen Yufeng's eyes were firm and his voice was not loud, but in the end he nodded slightly with a fierce look in his eyes, which seemed to be a serious move.

He threw Marcano's arm to the side, causing the latter to almost stumble.

Marcano felt a little fear in his heart, but he still said firmly: "Then I want to see how you make me look good!"

After saying this, he stood aside and made no more provocative moves, quietly waiting to appear.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded quickly, and the players from both sides walked towards the court.

Chen Yufeng suppressed his anger and showed his best attitude in this game.

"Kick Barcelona...Kick Barcelona...Kick Bayern Munich...!"

"It's our factory...!"

The familiar theme song played. Chen Yufeng turned his head and looked to the right side of the player tunnel, and saw Taylor dressed sexyly standing there, mouthing cutely to the theme song.

This is what Taylor told him, he must watch one of his Champions League games before leaving.

Waving towards Taylor, Chen Yufeng focused all his attention on the court. His desire to score at this time was very strong.

Soon, after the simple pre-match ceremony, the players from both sides came to their positions and stood, waiting for the final whistle.

Leicester City got the chance to kick off first in today's game. Vardy stood in front of the football, waiting for the kick-off.

Chen Yufeng stood on the right wing, shook his left foot, remembered Robben's inward shot, and then set his sights on Marcano.

Marcano stood in the left center back position, which was exactly where he cut inside.

bring it on……

The arrogant and foul-mouthed Portuguese central defender, I will take the first step on you today.

Chen Yufeng has never doubted that Robben could not score in this game by cutting inside.

The first point is that this is a very, very top skill, a skill that can score at least ten goals in a single season.

The second point is that when opposing players defend his instep, they already have a stereotype, which is to defend the outer instep of his dominant foot and only block this area.

If he hits the goal with a volley with his left foot, it will probably not be taken seriously by the opponent. It should be released directly if it cannot be blocked.

Although the one standing in front of the door belongs to Cassie, the most classic scene in Robben's career is also with Cassie.

The goalkeeper still seemed a little too passive and too weak when facing the forward's super-high-quality shots.

"Beep!!"

When the referee on duty saw that the time had passed eight o'clock in the evening, he blew the whistle to officially start the game.

Chen Yufeng's second Champions League game started like this at the King Power Stadium.

At this moment, the King Power Stadium is brightly lit, and countless fans are waving flags and cheering, as if they are anticipating the performance of the home team.
