Chapter 433
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
The first four games of the Champions League round of 16 dominated most of the pages of all sports media.
Schalke 04 defeated the visiting Porto 1:0 at home.
Manchester United was tied 1:1 by the visiting Inter Milan at home.
Roma defeated the turbulent Real Madrid 2:1 at home.
Although Li Shiguang did not watch this game, he watched the replay after returning to his room. Simeone danced and described the content of the game as soon as he met Li Shiguang the next day.
From Simeone's heartfelt smile when he spoke, Li Shiguang could see that as a famous player of Atletico Madrid, he was still very happy about Real Madrid's loss!
Li Shiguang was a little worried about Fiorentino.
Not for other things.
Mainly worried that if Real Madrid's Champions League performance was not good, it would affect Fiorentino's promotion. Wouldn't this affect his selling of players?
Later, he changed his mind.
It seems that the person in charge of Real Madrid is not Fiorentino yet.
If Real Madrid's performance is really bad, they will be eliminated by Roma in the round of 16.
Then he will be the most promising candidate.
This should be a good thing for Fiorentino!
The results of the first three games were actually similar to what everyone predicted before the game. Although Roma's victory over Real Madrid at home still surprised a small number of people, considering the internal turmoil of Real Madrid, everyone found it not surprising.
However, in the last game.
Chelsea was tied 0:0 by Olympiacos, the only weak team in the round of 16, away from home, which was a bit surprising!
Before the game, all media were worried about the status of the other three Premier League teams except Arsenal.
As a result, Manchester United and Chelsea have not won their respective opponents, which further confirmed the speculation of these media.
Today, nine out of ten media outlets followed the same rhythm, using the results of Manchester United and Chelsea to confirm their pre-match predictions, and also followed the rhythm of Leeds United, saying that the wild words he said in the interview would be severely slapped in the face tonight!
Li Shiguang saw these remarks in the morning.
When he set out for the Olympic Park Stadium after lunch in the afternoon, he was stopped by a group of reporters as soon as he walked out of the hotel gate. However, this time, no matter what questions the reporters asked, Li Shiguang was too lazy to respond, and took the players to get on the bus without looking back.

Eight o'clock in the evening.
In the studio of Sky Sports.
Jon and Lineker were making the final preparations before the live broadcast. In addition to the two of them, Sky Sports also specially invited Leeds United legend, Li Shiguang's number one white piece—Norman Hunter, to comment on this game together.
At this time, there was still a full hour before the game started.
While the three were preparing, they chatted casually.
"Norman, I read a lot of media reports today. It seems that not many people are optimistic about Leeds United's victory away from home. To be honest, I am a little worried about Leeds United's recent state..." Lineker sorted out the information on the table, feeling a little worried.
Norman Hunter knew Lineker's character and knew that he was not playing a role, but was really worried.
Patting Lineker on the shoulder, he said, "Gary, don't worry. Since Lee took over as the head coach of Leeds United in English League One, I have not missed any of his games! I can't predict the course of the game, but I believe everything Lee said about the result!"
"Result?" Lineker was a little confused at first, then he stared at Norman Hunter with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "You mean... do you think Lee believed what he said in the interview that he would kill the game in the first round?!"
"Of course!" Norman Hunter nodded confidently, "Since I met Lee, as long as he made a promise in front of the media, there was nothing he couldn't do!"
While the two were chatting.
Jon, who was in a bad mood, was also attracted.
Although he was not a fan of Leeds United.
Although his home team Chelsea was tied by a weak team yesterday.
But Jon agreed with Hunter's words.
"Gary, you know what, Norman is right... I went through one of Lee's few interviews before, and he never failed to do anything he promised."
Really?
Seeing both partners say this.
Lineker was also a little dazed.
But.
Killing the game in the first round, and the opponent is the current leader of Ligue 1... Just think about it... This is too fucking exaggerated!
····Olympic Park Stadium.
Away team locker room.
The entire Leeds United team has completed the pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room. Li Shiguang spent almost ten minutes explaining today's tactics, and then assigned tasks to each starting player point by point.
After that.
Li Shiguang grabbed one side of the whiteboard, exerted force with his arm, and the whiteboard was pushed aside by him.
He threw the pen in his hand in the direction where Simeone was standing.
Li Shiguang stood in the middle of the locker room, looking around at the players sitting in front of him seriously.
Seeing Li Shiguang's actions.
The players also knew that the time for their coach to get excited was coming, so they quickly put away their actions and sat upright to look at Li Shiguang.
"Relax, today's game is indeed very important, but don't make me look scary." Li Shiguang smiled and spoke, and the originally serious atmosphere in the locker room relaxed instantly.
But then, Li Shiguang took another big breath: "But! I feel like we have been insulted recently!"
"We are the defending champions of the Premier League! The quarterfinals of the Champions League last season!" When saying this, Li Shiguang pointed at Kaka, "Oh, by the way, the person who eliminated us is sitting here now."
I didn't expect Li Shiguang to suddenly point at his own Kaka and blink innocently.
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
"Back to the topic." Seeing that everyone was completely relaxed, Li Shiguang applauded again and asked everyone to look at him, "We have indeed been insulted recently. We have been criticized for our poor performance in the two league games. Our fans are okay, but outside, there are countless media scolding us and predicting that we will be eliminated from this year's Champions League by Lyon."
"Are you angry when you hear these remarks?"
"Angry!" The roar of a group of big men suddenly sounded in the locker room.
"I'm angry too!" Li Shiguang turned and pointed at the door, "So when I landed in Lyon, I said in an interview at the airport that we would kill this series in the first round! But these media don't believe it..."
Looking back at the players in front of him, Li Shiguang's voice became a little low: "Whether the media believes it or not, I don't care. But now, let us ask you, brothers, do you believe it?"
"Yes!!!" At this time, the captain Kompany's voice is always the first to sound.
"We believe it!!!" With Kompany's leadership, the other players also stood up from their seats, their faces flushed, and roars came one after another.
Li Shiguang was very satisfied with the performance of his disciples.
He said no more.
He turned around and walked to the door of the locker room, and pulled open the closed door.
Pointing outside the door, his tone was firm.
"Let's go! Brothers! Go out and kill them!"
