Chapter 324 Troubles of Happiness

The conversation with Ronaldinho and Deco is a very common thing. It feels like a good friend chatting casually, but in terms of content, it is a little 'imaginative'.

Liverpool and Barcelona.

Both teams have entered the European knockout stage, and it seems normal to play. But in fact, after the two teams have played the top 16 knockout matches, they still need some luck and strength to meet. It is not easy for them to fight.

The top 16 of the European Champions Cup will be drawn. If it is divided in the upper and lower half, the two teams can only play in the finals. Moreover, it is only possible to advance all the time. Compared with Liverpool, Barcelona's road to promotion looks much more tragic. As soon as they get out of the group stage, they have met the European limelight. Blues Chelsea won 12 rounds in the 13th round of the Premier League!

Chelsea!

A year ago, the name of the team was even a little unknown. The only big news was that the Russian crocodile and the world's richest man Abramovich bought Chelsea and continued to buy famous stars one by one. But now, Chelsea's name has been heard. They are not just vertical and horizontal. Super, Liverpool, which has been strong this season, is under its feet, and it is rare to meet opponents in the Champions League. Barcelona's luck is really not good to meet such an opponent in the top 16 knockout matches.

Liverpool's opponent is Leverkusen from the Bundesliga.

This opponent Don Jack is very familiar with him. He also played with Leverkusen, and he didn't feel much in his heart. At that time, almost no star Schalke 04 could beat Leverkusen. Now such a strong Liverpool, coupled with himself, beat Leverkusen and entered the quarter-finals, asked It's not a big question.

At present, the most important thing for Liverpool is the domestic season in England. After all, the Champions League knockout match will not be officially launched until mid-February.

When the award ceremony was over, Don Jack walked out of the venue with his sister and was interviewed by several reporters and media. He met Miller again. Eve.

As soon as he saw Miller, Don Jack recognized it, and there were not very good memories in his mind. There was really no good impression between the two. Miller did the same with Don Jack, and so did Don Jack to Miller. Probably, the relationship between reporters and football stars will not get along very well.

But in Sweden, it's really not easy to meet people you know. Don Jack stopped and accepted Miller's interview.

This German beauty has a professional smile on her face, as if she has long forgotten the unhappiness with Don Jack: "Hello, Jack, congratulations on your achievements in England. You are already a big star. Can you say how it feels to get the fifth place in the European Footballer of the Year?"

Miller's habitual professional smile made Don Jack feel very naive. He said, "I don't feel anything. I brought my sister to Sweden to play, and I took a medal back by the way."

Miller frowned: "You mainly come to play, but why did you come to Sweden instead of somewhere else?" She obviously wanted to refute Jack Don's argument and felt that the black-haired boy was still so arrogant.

"Of course, I haven't been here, so come and have a look."

"Okay." Miller retreated, and she asked feebly, "How do you feel in Liverpool? Do you adapt to the new environment? Have you ever thought about going back to Germany?

"A little bit."

Miller's eyes lit up, but before she could say anything, Don Jack continued, "However, Liverpool is also very good. At the beginning of my professional league in Germany, I will miss it very much, but that can probably only be memories."

"I heard that Bayern Munich is very interested in you..."

Don Jack waved his hand and interrupted Miller and said, "When I left from Schalke 04, I didn't choose Bayern. I didn't choose at that time, and I won't. I think there is no intersection between me and Bayern Munich. I don't have it now, and it won't appear in the future."

This kind of affirmative speech made Miller a little angry, but she still forced a smile and asked, "So, what do you think of this year's UEFA Champions Cup? How do you feel about participating in the competition for the first time?

"I will be the best shooter!"

Don Jack's tone was extremely affirmative: "I will be the best scorer, and I have enough confidence in the competition. As for which team will win, I'm not sure, but I hope it's Liverpool, and I will try my best to help the team win one by one!"

After saying that, Jack Don left with Li Xue.

Miller behind him put the pen on his chin, pouted his little mouth at Don Jack's back, and said indifferently, "It's still the same... So arrogant..."

There is an international competition day in January.

Therefore, after the tight Christmas schedule, the club was relieved. The players also returned to the national team to participate in the World Cup qualifiers and all kinds of warm-up matches on all continents. Don Jack, who has not joined any national team, is very idle. He stayed in Sweden with his sister for a week before returning to Liverpool. Later, Li Xue also returned to Munich.

When Don Jack returned to the team, the team became nervous again. This is not because of the tight schedule, but because Liverpool's next round of opponents are very tricky, which is Liverpool's most threatening rival for the league championship this season - Chelsea!

Before Barcelona and Chelsea collide, Liverpool and Chelsea met first!

How strong is Chelsea?

The fan who asked this question is a rookie fan at first glance. Now in England, Chelsea's strength has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Perhaps Arsenal's unbeaten record in dozens of rounds is a very brilliant record, but they have not won more than a dozen rounds in a row, or even ten rounds in a row, but Chelsea can play it.

This is strength!!

※※※

Jack Don will not care about how strong Chelsea is. He is concerned about how to cooperate better with his teammates and how to improve his strength. He believes that this can make a better play. No matter what kind of opponent, he exerts all his strength and work hard is the most important. Too much attention becomes the best. He I know exactly what I should do.

However, the training life is also troublesome.

Recently, Don Jack has received the attention of the all-English media, which has nothing to do with whether he has a game or not, but only with his goal number. Many bricklayers pointed out that Don Jack's goal number may break the Premier League record, of course, provided that he maintains high efficiency.

Due to the imperence of the game with Chelsea, the media has also paid attention to the last 'Warcraft Storm'.

This has nothing to do with goals, but is a comparison between the two scorers. No matter how many goals Jack Don scores, in the comparison of scorers, of course, it is the most intuitive to compare the two in a game. At that time, if Don Jack doesn't perform well, it's not as good as Drogba. Those Liverpool's hostile media will say that Don Jack is not as good as Drogba, because Liverpool lost to Chelsea.

The wins and losses of the two teams have a great impact on the winners and losses of the players.

It's nothing in other aspects. The main reason is that the media will not be stupid enough to compare the data of two people. That's completely incomparable. They may even be unconvinced, but it doesn't matter. Now they finally have a chance to fight back. At least in terms of the team's results, Chelsea is slightly better than Liverpool. .

It is impossible for Chelsea not to pay attention to such an efficient striker like Don Jack!

In fact, a month ago, Chelsea head coach Mourinho began to make targeted preparations. He asked the coaching staff to sort out Don Jack's running position and shooting videos, and watched it for several nights to find a way to deal with the young shooter.

Before the war, players from both teams will be interviewed. When Chelsea players are interviewed, they are asked which Liverpool player is more threatening. Most of them will blurt out: "Jack. Lee and Gerrard!"

Maybe Terry and Lampard will say, "Jack and Steven." Because they are good friends with Gerard.

For Chelsea players, Don Jack is not familiar with them. These players are very famous, but in reality, Don Jack has never seen them, such as Cech, Drogba, Good Janssen, Robben, Lampard... Don Jack was dizzy after seeing a series of names. He thought it was best to get to know each other in the game.

Chelsea players are also unfamiliar with Don Jack Don alone. However, some people are jealous, such as Bridge, who plays left-back in Chelsea. When he talked about Liverpool's most threatening person in an interview, he only talked about Gerrard. When asked about Don Jack's topic, Bridge disdained: "That He is a lucky boy. Several guys have scored a lot of goals every season, but only by holding on for a long time can he prove his strength, but that boy has just participated in the professional league... He is still a rookie!"

Bridge believes that Don Jack's future is uncertain and not to worry about.

But no matter what he thinks, at least Chelsea will have to face the 'vourageous' Don Jack in the game three days later. Mourinho said in an interview: "We must be prepared, otherwise we will be defeated. I also admired him last summer. It's a pity that he went to Liverpool, and then we became opponents. I will try my best to limit him with tactics. I believe our players can do everything well.

Mourinho has the confidence to say this.

Speaking of offense, Chelsea's diversified offense is very good, but it is not true that it can widen the gap with other teams. For example, Middlesbrough's front line is not weaker than Chelsea's, and the front line of Manchester United and Arsenal is not much compared with the newly formed Chelsea's front line.

When it comes to defense, Chelsea is confident.

In England now, Chelsea said that it was second in defense, and no team dared to say that it was first. Last summer, Portuguese defensive player Ricardo came to Chelsea with Mourinho. Carvalho and Paul. Ferreira, plus the original team, England's main central defender John. Terry, the former Real Madrid defender Zhongliang's mainstay, Frenchman Makelele, Chelsea's defense is impenetrable.

What's more, there are also offensive and defensive Rampard, brave Parker and other generals. Chelsea's defense is indeed the best in the Premier League, and no wonder their number of goals conceded is the lowest in the Premier League.

In the days before the war, both players and coaches were interviewed, and Don Jack was certainly no exception.

Before interviewing Don Jack, these reporters did their homework, because they knew that there were not many opportunities to interview this brunette boy. During the interview, they kept asking about the summer transfer. At that time, Chelsea also joined the war for Don Jack, but Chelsea failed and Don Jack came to Liverpool.

This kind of news is often very popular before the war.

Reporters also want to know what the black-haired boy who is scoring goals crazily now thinks of Chelsea. Will he think such a game is very difficult? Because the last round between the two teams played, Don Jack did not participate in the game. At that time, he was in a period of struggle with his positioning, and Liverpool easily lost. Chelsea.

"I will be the best shooter!"

In this tense period, the headline of the German "Kicker" was extremely conspicuous. Instead of talking about the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, they said that in addition to Don Jack's own confidence.

“...... Many people are talking about 'Jack. The name 'Li', and this young man who stirred up the 'goal whirlwind' comes from the Schalke 04 youth training camp. Now, he may become a broken Alan. Shearer is the horrible scorer who scored goals in a single season in the Premier League!"

“...... Such a young man has attracted many attention, and few people have really come into contact with his life. He looks very mysterious, but Jack is surprisingly confident. A few days ago, he took his sister to Sweden on a trip and took away the medal that symbolizes the fifth place of the European Footballer. He looks really idle..."

In the interview, Jack smiled confidently and said that he would definitely become the top scorer in the Champions League. As for the league scorer, I don't think anyone thinks that the best scorer in the Premier League can be spent on others..."

"Such a confident young man, we should believe in him. He will be the key figure in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea. His performance is the main theme of the game. We must pay attention to this. Anyway, we should trust him..." -- Reporter: Miller. Eve.

Such a report comes from the Kicker, which is really attractive. As a German sports media giant, the Kicker has always held a neutral attitude towards football reports in other countries, but this report is all about Jack Don, and it is very targeted. The meaning of the report is that for Don Jack The bias is simply to show it.

This is puzzling.

But such a report appeared before the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, which is worth thinking about. Similarly, such a report also gives Liverpool supporters endless confidence.

Two days before the game, Don Jack, who was in a good mood, was interviewed by Kicker, a middle-aged reporter.

For some reason, Don Jack was a little disappointed. He still asked, "Germany also pays attention to this game."

The middle-aged reporter laughed and said, "Of course, Chelsea and Liverpool are all world-renowned teams, and they are also direct competitors with Bayern and Leverkusen, and many German fans think that you are out of German football. You have been branded with German football. You are very popular in Germany."

Don Jack said 'um', saying that there were still many reporters in Germany who scolded him in the past.

However, he is still a little excited. Since German fans are concerned about the war in England, fans in other European countries will also pay more or less attention to it. I don't know how much the audience has in this game. It will be exciting to think about it.

There are indeed many German fans paying attention to this game.

In the fan bar of Gelsenkirxing, photos of the shot were posted. The player in the goal was Don Jack. These pictures were all photos of Don Jack's goal in Liverpool, and in an alley bar, the words "crazy scorer, produced by Gelsenkir" were posted, constantly It reminds Schalke 04 fans that the current hot star in Europe is from Gelsenkirxing.

At the same time, many Schalke 04 fans are also looking forward to the game. Some fan associations organize Schalke 04 fans to watch the game together to cheer for Liverpool, mainly Don Jack. They have prepared a lot of beer piled up in the fan bar and wait for the game to start in a few days. Hall is a middle-aged uncle. He is the small owner of a fan bar. His tavern is not far from Feltings Stadium. Many Schalke 04 fans who do not have tickets will come to the bar to watch football together, and Hall's income is not less.

At the same time, he is also a loyal Schalke 04 fan.

Last season's Schalke 04's results were very good. This season has begun to play in the League Cup and has not been eliminated. These honors have been accumulated last season. However, this season, the results of Schalke 04 cannot be said to have plummeted, but it is still a little different from last season. Fans like Hall He will miss the past. The first thing he thinks of is the dark-haired boy who is a fan in Fertings.

"That's Jack! He brought us the League Cup game!" He often says that.

For local fans of Gelsenkirxing, it is already a flamboyent honor for Schalke 04 to return to the League Cup. Hall likes Don Jack and admires Don Jack very much. Even now that Don Jack has arrived in Liverpool, he still pays attention to Jack Don's movements and thinks of the top in Europe. The striker, from the Schalke 04 youth team, Hall was very excited.

"We want to watch the game the day after tomorrow. That's the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea!!!"

Whenever fans come to the bar, Hall doesn't forget to publicize it. More unintended fans asked him why, "That's the game in England, we are Germans," they said.

Hall said, "Liverpool has Jack! He is from Gelsenkirxing!"

This statement has been recognized by many fans, so many fans have made an appointment to come to the bar to watch the game on the day of the game and get the support of so many friends. Hall was very happy. He said generously, "The beer was free for everyone that day... However, no one can only get one cup..."

"Shh...."

This has been kindly booed by friends. It's good to have it for free, but it's really a huge expense for many fans. If it's all free, the inventory of the pub will definitely not be enough.

What Hall is worried about is that the pub is too small. In case too many friends come, it is really a happy worry.
