Chapter 713
Chapter 713
The European night sky was dotted with stars. It was nine o'clock in the evening in Manchester.
The game was over. Manchester City shut out Rosenborg!
Second half.
Benzema, who came on as a substitute, received Rakitic's cross and shoveled the ball into the net, making the score of the game 4:0!
"Blue Moon~"
"You know just what I was there for~"
"You heard me saying a prayer for~"
During the handshake after the game, Guardiola smiled and walked towards Rosenborg's head coach Egan amid the chorus of Blue Moon fans.
After getting closer.
The Spanish young coach realized that the Norwegian football godfather was much older than he had imagined. His eyes were full of crow's feet, his skin was dry, and there were age spots under his eye sockets. Maybe because of this, the old man wore brown glasses.
"Mr. Egan, I wish you good luck in the rest of the group matches."
"Haha, thank you, Mr. Guardiola. We have tried our best, but today is just very difficult. Your players are much better than I thought, and you are also a young and promising head coach."
"You are too flattering, Mr. Egan. You are a legend, and my head coach career has just begun..."
"If the treble is the starting point, it is already the end point that many head coaches cannot reach in their lifetime."
There was no mutual sarcasm, nor was it a silent process of going through the motions. The two head coaches, one old and one young, were polite and praised each other.
Click, click, click!
The reporter on the scene next to them also pressed the shutter button to record this harmonious scene, which is the most appropriate as the ending picture of this round of the Champions League group stage.
On the other side, the players shook hands.
Rosenborg midfielder Sigurdsson, who knocked over Mata at the beginning of the game, also apologized in English.
"I'm sorry, that collision was all my fault. Everything is for the team. Love and peace!"
"It's okay."
Although Sigurdsson's English is really bad, Mata was flattered when he understood what he meant.
On the way back to the player's tunnel.
Mata shared this with his teammates, still with an incredible expression on his face.
"What's wrong with them?"
"They gave in."
Su Fei shrugged his shoulders and ended the topic with one sentence. Everyone showed an expression of deep agreement.
When you face a strong opponent who you can't defeat even if you try your best, try not to anger him. That's not rational, especially when there is a second encounter.
"Like... Bristol in the League Cup?"
"Bingo!"
.................................................................................
The post-match press conference of this game turned into a meeting where the two head coaches took turns praising Su Fei.
"Champions League! Hat trick in 4 minutes!"
"From the beginning of the game, Su Fei used his god-level opening performance to help us establish an advantage that is enough to win the game!"
"What else can I say?"
"I can only say that I am very glad that Su Fei is on our side, not a player in the opponent's lineup."
Guardiola's unique sense of humor made many media reporters laugh.
......
"Although Norwegian fans are full of respect for me, I can't tell you the truth. In the entire history of Norwegian football, there are no players like Su."
"Even if this range is expanded to the history of the entire world football, there are only a handful of players. The most important thing is that he is only 19 years old. As long as he stays healthy and in good shape, he will sooner or later surpass one after another..."
"Do you understand what I mean? He seems to be born to be the first!"
Guardiola's praise of Su Fei is understandable. After all, he is the core of his own team. Even if he has been performing well, the process should still be followed.
Egen is different.
The old man, like his players, was completely convinced by Su Fei.
..............................................................
At the same time, at the post-match press conference at Camp Nou.
Messi, who scored twice in this game and helped Barcelona beat Lyon 3-0 at home, was interviewed together with head coach Rijkaard.
"WooHooo!"
When the shy Argentine stood on the podium, the scene immediatelyThere was a burst of cheers and shouts from reporters.
Messi is the darling of the La Liga media in the new season.
His incredible dribbles on the court.
It always causes a lot of discussion throughout Spain and even Europe.
"Messi, please evaluate your own performance! I think you are the best player in this game. Do you agree with this view?"
"To be honest, I don't pay too much attention to these. Compared to me personally, Barcelona's victory is the most important. Andres, Xavi, Thierry... my teammates all performed very well, which is why we can beat our opponents."
"You are too modest, Messi!"
"Haha, is that so? I don't think so."
Messi scratched his head embarrassedly, showing his signature shy smile, and Rijkaard next to him also smiled and pointed at his player.
"This is why I like Leo. See? He is the best player in all teams in the first round of the Champions League, but he is so humble that he seems to have sat on the bench for 90 minutes."
Rijkaard originally thought that his move was the icing on the cake, but he didn't expect that a reporter from the Premier League would speak up immediately.
"Mr. Rijkaard, did you know that in the match between Manchester City and Rosenborg, Su scored twice in 4 minutes?"
"......"
The happy atmosphere at the interview site froze instantly. Hearing that name, Messi slowly put away his smile and the confidence in his eyes.
He couldn't help asking the reporter.
"Are you telling the truth? Su, scored twice in 4 minutes?"
"Of course it's true. Hello, Messi, I'm Joey, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News in the Premier League."
The Manchester City paparazzi king looked proud, admiring the embarrassed expressions of Messi, Rijkaard and many La Liga media on the stage.
I felt so happy.
In the Champions League, when going out, the face of the Premier League reporters is given by the teams in their own league. It feels so good to slap the La Liga team in the face in front of the La Liga media! It feels much better than arguing with the Premier League coach in the Premier League!
Joey continued to ask questions.
"So I think Su is the best player among all teams in the first round of the Champions League. Do you agree with this, Messi?"
"......"
Messi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
Whenever questions related to that name appeared, his brain would go into a pumping state like a conditioned reflex.
That was the fear from the bones.
