Chapter 502 Joe Cannon's Warning
Klopp's life is a bit difficult.
With the meeting between the French and German teams in the World Cup semi-finals, the whole of Germany is now filled with an atmosphere of extremely unfriendly towards the French team, which makes Klopp suddenly feel like he is on his back.
Klopp has officially notified Mainz Club that he resigned from the club's head coach. He originally planned to go to the French team's training ground for another round, after all, leading the French team's superstars to train will be very fulfilling for any coach.
But how could Klopp feel embarrassed to appear at the French training ground now by this hostile attitude of Germany and France? He didn't even know what method to use to explain the game between the German and French teams.
The semi-finals will be held on July 5, but on the morning of the 2nd, Qiao Wanxian suddenly issued a notice to the whole society that he would hold a pre-match press conference for the semi-finals that afternoon.
This undoubtedly surprised everyone.
Qiao Dapao likes to announce the starting lineup in advance, which is well known, but... it's just that the game will start three days later. Your pre-match press conference was too early, right?
What's going on?
With various complex and curious moods, nearly a hundred football reporters from all over the world gathered in the hotel lobby where the French team lived, waiting for Qiao Wanxian to appear.
Today, Qiao Wanxian was wearing very refreshingly, with a faint smile on her face, and she looked in a good mood. Qiao Wanxian's expression made many German reporters at the scene breathe a sigh of relief.
In recent days, German public opinion has caused many grudges to the French team.
What if Qiao Dapao angers?
But judging from Qiao Wanxian's expression, it's okay.
"The first thing is to announce the starting lineup of France in the semi-finals. Goalkeeper Butters, the defenders are Abidal, Sylvester, Toulam, and Sanior. The midfielder is... Oh, I won't talk nonsense. The starting lineup is exactly the same as when I played against Italy in the last game!"
Qiao Wanxian waved his hand and said straight to the point.
A reporter immediately asked in a slight manner: "Mr. Wan Xian, didn't you say Zidane was injured? Will his starting lineup affect his performance on the court? Also, it is said that Frank Ribery can already play the game. Will he make a debut in the semi-finals?"
Qiao Wanxian replied seriously: "Yes. Zidane was a little injured, but it doesn't matter. He is still the soul of the team's frontcourt. As for Ribery... it's true that he has recovered miraculously, but whether he will play in the semi-final depends on the changes on the spot."
"Young player Benzema is the biggest new star found in this World Cup. He has scored 5 goals. It's just in two knockout matches. Benzema did not play. Mr. Qiao Wanxian. Can you tell us what this is for?"
Qiao Wan said lightly: "I have a large number of excellent strikers, and they all have very good skills. Benzema is still very young and he has a long way to go."
"Las Diarra is the best player in the game and the key player in France's reversal to defeat Italy. Is he not worthy of starting?"
"Of course he has the strength to start." Qiao Wanxian curled his lips, "but Marklele is stronger."
Afterwards, the reporters raised various doubts and discussions about the starting lineup of the French team. After all, this starting lineup was OK in the previous few games of abuse. The performance against Italy was really not very good.
You, Joe Dapao, are you so superstitious about the old players? Zidane, especially Marklele and Pire. They played almost all the games in front of the French team. There will definitely be problems with their physical fitness. Don’t you realize this problem?
Regarding various doubts, Qiao Wanxian just smiled slightly and said in a summary: "It doesn't matter, the German team is not very strong. Even if the team has some physical problems, winning is not a problem!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the entire press conference hall.
Qiao Dapao, who is not shocking, is back again!
Your tone is so relaxed, and you don’t take the host seriously in the understatement at all. Are you a little arrogant?
There were more than 120 reporters at the scene, and more than 30 German reporters alone. When they heard Qiao Wanxian's words, their faces changed drastically. They were embarrassed and angry at the same time.
What a Joe Dapao, who looks down on our German team? Don’t forget that we are the “Sanxing” German! You are a young boy who participated in the World Cup for the first time, and you dare to speak loudly in front of the German team? You are simply ignorant of the world.
"Haha, Mr. Qiao Wanxian, don't be so full of words. Be careful of a mistake that will make you go wrong and your tongue!" Soon a blonde German reporter retorted sarcastically.
Qiao Wanxian laughed: "In fact, this is exactly what I'm looking forward to! I've been in the industry for two years and I really don't know what it feels like to flash my tongue. I'm really curious. But... With the strength of the German team, I'm afraid I don't have that ability yet."
A burst of laughter broke out in the hall immediately.
I saw that the twenty or thirty Germans looked extremely ugly.
The overall strength of the French team is much stronger than that of the German team. This is a recognized fact in the world. Looking at the entire World Cup, the only teams that can compete with the French team in terms of lineup strength are Brazil, Italy and England.
This German team... is really not up to the top!
Recently, domestic media in Germany have been sarcastic about the French team, and the reporters present know very well. Although the Germans' approach is understandable, it is the host. However, in the eyes of many "simple" fans, such things outside the football field are boring.
Football is football. Whoever plays better wins. This is the truth. It is somewhat shameful to create victory by all those storms outside the court.
However, on the stage of the World Cup, off-court storms can greatly affect the games on the court.
The most famous one is Mussolini, who was dictatorial to Italy, who said "If you don't win the championship, you will be shot." Even his opponent was shocked. Under the general sympathy of the World Football Federation, Italy finally defeated the football kingdom of Hungary 4:2 and defended the World Cup champion.
The Hungarian players who lost the game all said frankly after the game: "We lost a game, but saved 22 lives!"
By 2006, except for North Korea, which "mined if you lose", it was difficult to have a "strong man" like Mussolini. Football was also playing in a relatively fair environment, but this was only relatively fair.
For the host German team, World Football Federation will inevitably accommodate a few points.
"Mr. Wan Xian, the German media has criticized you and the French team very fiercely recently, believing that the German team will defeat the French team and advance to the finals. What do you think about this?"
Qiao Wanxian sneered: "If Germany is still under Hitler's control, they would have said 'If you don't win the ball, you will be shot'. I don't mind sending the German team to the finals. But in fact, it's a peaceful era!"
As soon as these words came out, a wave of inspiration suddenly started.
Hitler was definitely a sensitive word in Germany, and was a person of the level of "according to relevant laws, regulations and policies, some search results were not displayed". The Nazis in Germany were a topic that everyone avoided to discuss.
This is very different from militarism and the Yasukuni Shrine's popularity in Japan.
Qiao Wan's idle words will undoubtedly arouse strong backlash and anger from all German people. Especially for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it is a great irony.
Just yesterday, she claimed in a high profile that the German team would win the championship!
In the press conference hall, all the German reporters were furious, and their red eyes looked at Qiao Wanxian fiercely.
Qiao Wanxian turned a blind eye to this aggressive gaze, took a sip of water leisurely, and then said carelessly: "I know that all Germans hope that the German team can defeat the French team to advance to the finals, but I would like to advise them, especially those German media, not to be clever, my anger... they can't afford to offend them."
Cold.
In the press conference hall, almost everyone felt the cold warning that Qiao Wanxian said.
Even those German journalists who were extremely angry could not help but shivered after hearing Qiao Wanxian's words.
The angry Qiao Dapao... It seems that he can't afford to offend him!
It is rare to see Qiao Dapao get angry. The most famous time is to beat Juventus 9:0 at the Alp Stadium, and then to massacre the South Korean team 12:0 in this World Cup.
This time... Qiao Dapao won't burn his anger on the German team, right?
The German journalist who had originally wanted to retort, immediately shut up and stopped talking, for fear that his words would be distorted and lit up the fuse of Qiao Dapao.
However, those foreign journalists were naturally afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Wan Xian, if the German media continues to criticize you like this, what will you... take?"
Qiao Wanxian shrugged and said lightly: "If this is the case...haha, then I can only say that these German media will become the sinners of German football."
"Then what do you want the German media to do?"
Qiao Wanxian said lightly: "It's very simple. Stop all criticizing the French team and me. The public opinion orientation needs to change, so that my team and I deserve the praise. You know, there are too many fans from all over Germany. The public opinion orientation of the German media will think of fans all over the world."
Shameless, simply shameless!
The German journalists could no longer bear it and were angry at Qiao Dapao's cheekyness. This was simply a naked threat. Let us Germans go to slap you Qiao Dapao's flattery and lick your stinky feet, you...you dream!
The German team is not as slaughtered as South Korean team, and the French team is not as invincible as Chelsea.
Qiao Dapao, you made the wrong plan!
Chapter completed!
