Chapter 167: After the game to before the game

After the game, Lucescu also took Xu Qi to the post-match press conference.

This surprised Xu Qi, but he did not refuse. After all, he is not unfamiliar with dealing with reporters. Even if the other party is a foreign journalist, it is actually similar.

When he arrived at the press conference, Xu Qi also saw a lot of Chinese media. After all, it is London, and a large number of Chinese media are stationed here.

Some journalists specifically go to Chelsea, some go to Arsenal, and of course there may not be too many.

In this metropolis of London, too many football news will be born from here every day, both true and false, and it is very lively.

Even some journalists stationed in Spain, Germany, and Italy came to London specifically, and these journalists were well-known journalists who often revolve around some big names in today's football world.

But today, they came to interview Xu Qi specifically.

After all, this is Xu Qi's debut in Europe. Many people have great expectations for Xu Qi, so they will naturally pay great attention to this game.

Many fans who stayed up late to watch the football team felt that they did not stay up late in vain. At least they saw Xu Qi's performance and thought Xu Qi performed well.

Of course, some fans have high expectations for Xu Qi. They think that Xu Qi has no goals and no assists, and they also express their contempt for those who praise Xu Qi for how good they performed online.

After all, it is rare for China to have a player who can play in the European arena and complete wonderful performances. Scoring goals and assists still require some time to give Xu Qi.

More people believe that Xu Qi's performance in Europe will get better and better.

At the press conference.

Many British journalists almost ask Lucescu's questions, and they seem to be more concerned about when players like Judson, William, and Fernandinho will go to the Premier League to play football.

Lucescu said he was very helpless about such a problem as British journalists.

He just habitually stated that these players are now players of the Miners and hopes that this group of reporters will not ask these meaningless questions.

However, afterwards, some British reporters began to ask questions to Xu Qi.

They also obtained some information about Xu Qi, so they were more concerned about Xu Qi stealing the show while on the bench.

"Why didn't you pull Bell up after being knocked down by Bell?" asked a British female reporter.

"You also know that it was me who was knocked down. He probably pulled me up, but I didn't ask him for help, so I stood up easily. So I don't think he couldn't stand up without my help." Xu Qi naturally didn't think that his behavior was anything at that time.

However, it was also the first time he felt the long-winded and gossip of British journalists.

"I think this is a matter of politeness. Pulling the opponent up is what a gentleman should do, sir." The female reporter said again.

"What is a gentleman?" Xu Qi naturally knew the meaning of the word gentleman, but he deliberately pretended not to understand, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, I think I learned a new word!"

Subsequently, Xu Qi received questions from several reporters in a row.

These reporters are all Chinese journalists, and obviously they have more questions about Xu Qi to ask.

After all, it is really troublesome to go to Ukraine to interview Xu Qi. They rarely see Xu Qi in London, and Xu Qi was brought to the press conference by the head coach, which really gave them a very good interview opportunity.

"You have been playing football in Europe for almost three months. Do you feel that there is any difference between playing football in Europe and playing football in China?" Chinese journalists always like to ask questions that seem to be professional in plainness.

Of course, Xu Qi is also the easiest to deal with this kind of problem.

"Of course, there are too many different places. The pace of playing football here is faster and more professional. At the same time, language, diet and lifestyle are also different from those in China. After I arrived here, I even felt that everything became different, but I still adapted to it very well." Xu Qi answered very seriously and comprehensively, although he himself found this question boring.

Domestic reporters asked some other ordinary questions, and Xu Qi also answered them one by one.

Finally, the press conference ended, and Xu Qi also began to return to the hotel with the team.

The team stayed and rested in London and set off back to Donetsk to prepare for the next second round of the two sides.

The purpose of the miners is of course to advance to the top 16.

After the second leg match with Tottenham Hotspur next week, the second half of the Ukrainian Super League will also begin.

On March 3, the Miners will challenge the relegation team Ilitchwitz away.

So in the next period of time, Xu Qi must also let himself fully enter the rhythm of the game.

Next, it is no longer training and inspection, but competitions, competitions, competitions!

The Miners' disadvantages in the standings are indeed quite obvious, and there is little hope for a league championship, but Xu Qi does not think that the league is irrelevant under such circumstances.

He needs to constantly prove his abilities in the league.

After all, there are fewer cup matches like the Europa League, and the league is the real arena for you to keep improving.

Although with the strength of Dynamo Kiev, the gap between the league points 13 points is almost irreparable, points must always be recovered one by one.

It depends on how much you can chase in the end.

After returning to Donetsk, Natalia had already cleaned up Xu Qi's house and was waiting for Xu Qi to come back.

In fact, Xu Qi now needs someone who knows Chinese and is familiar with Ukraine as an assistant in his normal life, otherwise Xu Qi will even have to go to the supermarket to buy things.

In normal times, Xu Qi would also learn some Russian from Natalia, hoping that he could adapt to Donetsk's life as soon as possible.

A Ukrainian city speaks Russian rather than Ukrainian. Many contrasts and contradictions do make it difficult for ordinary people to adapt.

Judging from Xu Qi's current adaptation speed, he still adapts faster.

A few days before the second leg of the Tottenham Hotspurs, the city began to become lively.

It is indeed rare to be able to welcome a powerful team from the Premier League in Donetsk and to watch their exciting matches with the Miners.

This is another game that has made a city lively since the UEFA Champions League group stage home game.

Moreover, their team is very hopeful to eliminate this team that is very famous in Europe and then stand in the semi-finals.

Regarding the second leg, many Donetsk fans on the street felt optimistic.

Although they also admit that Tottenham is a very strong team, they think that the Donetsk Miners are stronger, and the Miners are the symbol of the city. They have the strength to kill Tottenham Hotspur!

Judging from the handicap before this game, several major European bookmakers are actually optimistic about the Miners' promotion.

In the first leg, Tottenham did not show its strength that was better than the Donetsk miners, but was beaten by the miners for more time.

Moreover, Premier League teams have never performed well in the Europa League, so European bookmakers are not optimistic about Tottenham.
