Red Rebels

"The boss wants you to go to the press conference!" Walsh said with a smile.

Mourinho was stunned at first, but soon shook his head and laughed. His boss knew him very well. He even knew that he was losing his temper and wanted to refuse to attend the press conference. He shrugged and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will. go!"

"The bosses have been contacted. After the game, all the information we collected and what happened in the locker room during the halftime break will be submitted to UEFA. In addition, we will also Appeal against Essien's red card and at this point you can't not go to the press conference!"

Participating in the press conference is a clear rule of UEFA. If Mourinho refuses to participate, it will definitely give UEFA and some interested people a chance to talk, which may have an impact on the appeal.

As someone has said, UEFA's laws are famous for treating everyone equally, but that is under the premise of saving face.

This is somewhat similar to the FA!

After seeing Mourinho nodding in agreement, Walsh also laughed, shook his head and said: "The boss also said that he knows that you can't hide your words and don't speak out quickly, so he will allow it at the press conference later. As long as you don’t involve UEFA in your unscrupulous speech, you can do anything else, even if you want to scold me on the spot!”

These words immediately made Mourinho and Cassel laugh, especially Cassel. He had to admire Xiao Yu's methods because he saw obedience in Mourinho's eyes.

Yes, Mourinho, who is famous outside for being lawless and the boss of God and his second son, seems to be submissive to Xiao Yu, not for any other reason, just because Xiao Yu can always satisfy him.

…………… The press hall at Camp Nou was packed, and almost all the media attended the press conference because they were all eager to hear what Mu Dapao would say about the game.

In the past, as long as it was a game in which he was treated poorly, Mourinho would always criticize him at a press conference. Once his opponent refuted, it would lead to a fierce verbal confrontation. This was considered by reporters to be another highlight after the game. point.

This game obviously suffered from many misjudgments, including a single shot that was called offside, a legitimate foul that resulted in a yellow card, and Essien being sent off with a red card. These are all targets that Mourinho can criticize after the game. , and reporters have already received the news. They heard that during the halftime break, there was a fight with Barcelona staff in the locker room passage.

"It seems that this will be another big news!" A certain experienced reporter had already prepared everything and was waiting for Mourinho's arrival.

Rijkaard was the first to appear at the press conference. Although his team failed to achieve satisfactory results, he still considered that the club was home and being a gentleman, he appeared at the press conference on time. on site.

However, Mourinho, who was the near-winner of this game, was late, and very late. When Barcelona's spokesperson almost announced that he would miss the press conference, he The figure was belatedly arrived.

The look of resentment on his face was completely different from the grand celebration at the end of the game. Now he looked like a former virgin who had just been raped and lost her virginity. The resentment almost infected the scene. of everyone.

When Barcelona's press officer saw Mourinho preparing to take his seat, he immediately took the microphone and prepared to announce the start of the press conference. Who knew that at this time, Mourinho had already spoken first before him.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but there are more important things that force me to be late. Although I know that there are more than 550 reporters, 25 radio stations, more than 50 television stations and more than 30 news agencies on site, I still choose to be late. I'm sorry for you."

Mourinho suddenly grabbed the microphone, and Barcelona's press officer felt a little annoyed, but the reporters below didn't care about such a small role. They all raised their hands.

I want to ask questions about Mourinho's words.

"Okay, this beautiful female reporter!" Mourinho pointed to the female reporter from the Marca newspaper in the front.

It seems casual, but in fact Mourinho is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is very smart and knows that Marca is a supporter of Real Madrid and regards Barcelona as a mortal enemy, so he specifically chose Marca.

"I would like to ask Mr. Mourinho, is this related to the fight in the locker room passage? I heard that some staff witnessed Mr. Rijkaard appearing in the referee's lounge during halftime, which led to a fight between staff from both sides. , is that so?" The reporter from Marca has already received the relevant news.

Rijkaard's fair face suddenly turned as black as coal. He was about to retort, but Mourinho preempted him without any grace.

"Yes, we have collected enough evidence about this matter. We will submit the red card appeal to UEFA. We believe that UEFA will respond to this matter as soon as possible. We believe that someone is involved in this matter." Things are against the rules!”

After Mourinho finished speaking in a crackling breath, Rijkaard found the opportunity.

First he coughed, and then defended: "I have to clarify that the referee and I have not discussed even a little bit about the content of the game. I just took advantage of the halftime break because I didn't say hello to him before the game started. It was time to go over and say hello, nothing more, nothing serious happened.

"Really?" Mourinho asked with a sneer before waiting for the reporter's reaction, "First of all, I have to remind you, Mr. Rijkaard, it is not you who have the final say whether it is serious or not, nor is it mine, but I I believe that both you and the referee know very well that for a referee of such an important game to listen to the statement and defense of one of the parties about some situations in the first half before the game is over, this is a violation in itself. If it were to be a visit instead I'm the one in the referee's lounge, do you think it's serious?"

Mourinho's words were so sharp that Rijkaard didn't know how to answer.

Who knew Mourinho's words were just the beginning.

"In addition, I am skeptical about Mr. Rijkaard's greetings. First of all, this is not a court. It does not require swearing according to the Bible, so anything said here will not create a psychological feeling of guilt. Of course, I I still want to believe that Mr. Rijkaard did not lie, because the consequences would be too serious."

"But!" Mourinho emphasized his tone, and his attitude became very strong. "The fact that all of us have seen is that after the halftime break, at the beginning of the second half, my player was killed because of a misjudgment. The actor was "justly" sent off by the referee for his performance, which resulted in us being forced to fight with one less person in the last 40 minutes. I think that actor should go to Hollywood instead of Camp Nou. He can win the Oscar. !”

In the West, the result of losing integrity is that even banks are unwilling to handle credit card business for you. At the same time, you will be questioned and judged by everyone in the future. This is a very, very serious mistake.

Mourinho's words first drove Rijkaard to death, and then gave him a glimmer of hope, but he soon kicked him into the abyss of hell.

During the whole process, Jaccard failed to give any strong rebuttal, and just kept working in a hurry.

After venting, Mourinho's mood improved a lot. He sat down and seemed to let reporters continue to ask questions.

"Mr. Mourinho, aside from the refereeing factor, what do you think of Barcelona's performance in this game?" This time the reporter was replaced by a reporter from the Sun newspaper in England. This is definitely a tactic of sowing discord by the conspirators.

But judging from the reactions at the scene, there is no doubt that all fellow journalists will give this questioner a thumbs up.

"I think it should be divided into two parts. When 11 men played against 11 men, they performed worse than the Premier League relegated team. If it hadn't been for the referee's misjudgment, we could have scored 3 goals against them in Nocan. General Stadium!”

After a pause, Mourinho shook his head with a sneer and said: "When 11 men faced 10 men, they performed well. They scored the equalizer while we were in chaos. After that, He played disorganized and had no control but couldn't convert it into goals."

Everyone present could hear the sarcasm and irony in Mourinho's words.

"Then what are your chances of winning in the next round?"

"I don't know, but my team will definitely show everyone a new kind of football at home, that is, how to send the ball into the opponent's goal when you have control. You can wait and see!"

Mourinho's words caused another burst of laughter. Press conferences with the Portuguese present are always particularly interesting.

"But some people say the game is too conservative!" a Spanish reporter reminded.

Mourinho knew without reading that this must be a reporter from a pro-Barcelona newspaper, because Cruyff pointed out in his pre-match column that he would adopt a conservative defensive posture to face Barcelona in this game. He criticized Premier League teams always pay attention to destruction, unlike La Liga which pays attention to technology.

"He is an expert, but a shoddy expert. He forgot that the knockout round of the top 16 is a 180-minute game, not 90 minutes. In their view, 100-meter athletes should run the same race as marathon runners. Tactics, that’s really interesting, if he can come back to coach, it will definitely be the biggest joke in the world!”

……………Although Mourinho adopted a sarcastic attitude towards Cruyff, judging from the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds, the Premier League as a whole is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Manchester United lost 0:1 to AC Milan at home. Palacio performed well throughout the game and scored the only goal, helping the Rossoneri take away a victory from Old Trafford and at the same time Manchester United pushed into a desperate situation.

After losing at home, it will undoubtedly be difficult to comeback in the away game, especially when facing a Serie A team like AC Milan. No matter how strong Ferguson is, it is impossible for Manchester United to regain its prestige overnight. =半^FU##生-/;.{ban^fu][heng]

All of this is the impact of the Glazer family's acquisition!

Arsenal lost to Bayern 3:1 in an away game. Olic scored twice and Abidal performed well throughout the game. Arsenal only recovered at the last minute, with Hangeland taking advantage of a corner kick in the 88th minute. One goal, one away goal.

But if they want to make a comeback at home, Arsenal must beat Bayern by at least 2 goals at home, which is undoubtedly quite difficult.

The only thing that went smoothly was Chelsea. They successfully won Lyon. Lyon failed to pose a threat to Chelsea from beginning to end. The only thing that was more threatening was Malouda assisting Benzema and scoring a face-saving goal for Lyon. But it couldn't prevent Lyon from being defeated 4:1 at Stamford Bridge.

In other games, Leverkusen lost to Juventus 1:3 at home, PSV defeated Monaco 1:0 at home, Real Madrid defeated Werder Bremen 0:3 away, and Inter Milan drew 1:1 away. Porto.

As a result, in addition to the advantages that Premier League teams have over Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal can be said to be at a disadvantage. This has also made the English media once again start to reflect on why English teams have always performed poorly in European wars in recent years. ?

In the annual wave of reflection, Xiao Yuhe had no time to care, because UEFA quickly approved the appeal.
