Chapter 959

Chen Yu originally intended to provoke a saliva to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the team, but unexpectedly, because of the provocation of the reporter of the World News, he himself became a hot topic of scandal.

Chen Yu is a double winner of the European Golden Ball Awards and World Football Master. He is a storied figure in the world football world. His every move will attract the attention of fans. Compared with the battle between Liverpool and the Champions League minor Schalke 04, Chen Yu's scandal has become more interesting to the media. The topic between him and Zhao Muyu, Lin Hong, and even Zhang Youzhen has been reported by major media again, and has attracted the attention of Keira Knightley, who is far away in the United States. She also called Chen Yu specifically and asked him what the hell was, and she would go back to England to see if he was in love with someone else or his old love was rekindled.

Although Chen Yu was a little guilty, he quickly explained that this was a conflict between him and the reporter, and the media deliberately hyped it up to attract attention and increase sales.

Knightley is still very confident in Chen Yu, but she also feels that the media will not be groundless. But now she is busy filming and cannot return to England in person, so she can only hold this doubt in her heart.

After playing the FA Cup, Liverpool left Liverpool for only one day and one morning and flew to Germany for the Ruhr area to participate in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Liverpool is very famous in the world football world. However, Schalke-04 is like a junior brother in the Champions League. He is not strong enough and his fame is still poor. The attractiveness of the two teams is definitely not as good as Arsenal vs. AC Milan. Therefore, there are few foreign journalists coming to pick up the plane, mainly local German journalists, English and Chinese journalists.

Due to some problems in the pre-match press conference in England, after getting off the plane, Liverpool's players and coaches were unwilling to accept interviews from reporters, especially Liverpool's biggest star Chen Yu. He wore oversized sunglasses and got off the plane ignored the cheers of countless fans and the flashing camera in the reporter's hands, and walked directly to the minibus prepared by the club without squinting.

Fans and reporters finally waited for Chen Yu, and some fans even waited here for more than ten hours. They all wanted to have more contact with Chen Yu, get autographs and take photos, and they were willing to let Chen Yu leave, so they all came to surround Chen Yu. However, the Liverpool Club had communication with the airport in advance, and Chen Yu also brought four bodyguards around him. Airport security guards and police came to stop the fans and reporters, and the bodyguards escorted Chen Yu away from the airport.

After arriving at the hotel, Liverpool held a press conference. The people attending the conference were head coach Benitez and captain Gerrard, but Chen Yu still did not come out. Benitez and captain Gerrard explained to the fans and reporters why Chen Yu could not communicate with the fans. Chen Yu's voice was hoarse and he was in a bad mood.

I heard that Chen Yu's voice was hoarse, and the reporters and fans were worried about whether it would affect the next game. Liverpool club's phone number was almost blown up, and they all asked Chen Yu about his physical condition. Before coming to Germany, Chen Yu, Zhao Muyu, Lin Hong and others also used the phone, and there was no problem. But now he heard that Chen Yu's voice was hoarse, so he quickly called to inquire. As a result, Chen Yu had nothing to do and was chatting and laughing. Only then did he know that Benitez was lying. Later, Chen Yu's grandparents and parents also called to ask. Chen Yu realized that although they were far away in China, they were actually caring for him silently. He couldn't help but feel moved and sad. Now he can be regarded as a success, but his grandparents were old and sick, but he could not serve by his side, which made Chen Yu have the idea of ​​retirement and returning to China.

However, this thought flashed by. Although he is already in his thirties, his physical function is still no less than that of a young man in his twenties. Now major clubs are eager for him, and the national team is also in need of him to make achievements. Even if he wants to retire, it is impossible. Moreover, he has not fulfilled his dream of helping the national team to enter the World Cup and becoming famous in the World Cup. How could he choose to retire?

Especially next time, Schalke 04 club provoked Liverpool at a press conference and made many difficulties in Liverpool during training, which made Chen Yu and Liverpool players very angry. They wished they could teach this junior UEFA Champions League lesson immediately in the game, so that they understood that the Champions League is not a domestic league. They were still a little bit young if they wanted to step on a veteran giant like Liverpool.

Soon, one and a half days after Liverpool came to Germany, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off.

The competition started relatively late and started at 8:45.

But the football atmosphere in Germany is very good? Well, even at this time, the Feltings Arena, which can accommodate 61,500 people, is full of seats. Although the Germans are pragmatic and rigorous, the stands are full of banners and various flags. The fans' faces and bodies are painted like ghosts, and they seem to be more ostentatious than those of Spain and France.

Although Schalke 04 provoked Liverpool in various ways before the game and threatened to block Liverpool and accomplished an unprecedented counterattack, they were still very afraid and afraid of this giant second only to Real Madrid in the history of the Champions League, otherwise they would not have repeatedly created problems for Liverpool in training.

In this game, Schalke 04 head coach Slomka arranged all the main lineups, and even Kuranyi continued to play with a slight cold. The goalkeeper was No. 1 Neuer; four defenders No. 1 Rafinia, No. 5 Borton, No. 2 Costadic, No. 2 Westman; four midfielders: No. 13 Jones, No. 8 Ernst, No. 10 Rakitic, No. 3 Kobe Yashvili; No. 14 Asamoa, No. 22 Kuranyi; No. 22

This is Schalke 04's most famous and strongest lineup. With this lineup, Schalke 04 can challenge Bayern in the Bundesliga and tied Bayern Munich 1-1 away in the first leg. Slomka now has full confidence to cause some trouble for Liverpool at the Fairtings Arena.

Liverpool also attaches equal importance to this game. In order to win a good start, Benitez also ranked the strongest lineup in his mind: goalkeeper 25-Reiner; four defenders: 3-Finnan, 23-Carrag, 2-Ag, 6-Riser; four midfielders: 20-Mascherano, 8-Gerard, 11-Benayon, 14-Alonso; double strikers: 9-Chen Yu, 18-Kuyt.

Although the European football world's attention has almost been attracted by the giant battle between AC Milan and Arsenal, because Bayern has not been able to qualify from the group this season, Schalke became the only seedling in the Bundesliga in the Champions League round of 16, so almost all German media have focused on the Feltings Arena in Gelsenkirchen. Therefore, not only are there enough fans at the game, but there are also more than 300 reporters, which is no less than the competition between Bayern and European giants.

The referee of this game was Frenchman Duhamel. Under his leadership, Schalke 04 and Liverpool walked out of the locker room and completed the ceremony of exchanging team flags and emblems before the game.

Duhamel looked at his watch. There were still three minutes before the game started. He looked around. The players of the two teams were very serious. Even when they gathered together, they did not laugh seriously. They seemed to attach great importance to the game. The fans of both sides in the stands were also very passionate. Before the game began, they kept cheering and singing the team songs, and there were even a few fans provoking each other. This made Duhamel feel a little heavy. He was worried that the referee's game might not be so easy, and problems would be easily caused by the standards.

Before the law enforcement game, he had heard from his colleagues that Chen Yu participated in the game was not easy to enforce, so Chen Yu's personal ability was too strong. When each team fought against Liverpool, he adopted a killing tactic against him, which made the referee very embarrassed. According to normal standards, Liverpool's opponents would be sent off every game. If they did not follow the normal standards, Liverpool's players were not convinced. Duhamel thought to himself that this was Schalke 04's home court, and he had to consider the feelings of the fans on the scene. He tried not to give out the red card. However, British fans have always been hooligans and must take care of the feelings of British fans when it is not so important. No matter what the result of the game is, as long as there is no chaos in the game, he will complete the task successfully.

Three minutes passed quickly. As the referee Duhamel blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Liverpool kicked the ball first. Chen Yu and Kuyt poured the ball down and passed it to the midfielder. Before Schalke 04's players pressed, Liverpool's midfield passed the ball to the back line.

Schalke 04, as the only seed of the Bundesliga, has a sense of glorious mission to defend the Bundesliga. Every player is holding on to show off. After the kickoff, they pounce on him. Even if Liverpool quickly passes back and acts as if he can lure the enemy into depth, they still move forward bravely and chase the Liverpool players who control the ball to steal.

As one of the most successful teams in the Champions League, Liverpool is very familiar with the Champions League. The players are confident and experienced. They appear very calm during the game. Even Schalke 04's aggressive pressing did not make them mess up. Although Liverpool's midfield and backcourt are mostly muscles, compared with Schalke 04, the ball control and passes appear very delicate and precise. Often, Schalke 04's players are forced to pass around three meters before passing the ball. Not only is it wasted by the physical strength of Schalke 04's players, it also hurts their morale.

Chinese commentator Duan Xuan also came to the Feltins Arena today to comment. When he saw Liverpool players playing so calmly, Schalke 04's players became much more frivolous. He sighed: "This is the foundation, this is the gap between the six-time Champions League champion and the team that has never reached the Champions League quarter-finals. Not to mention that there is a certain gap between the strength of the players on both sides, it is exactly the same, Liverpool's winning margin is also greater than Schalke 04."
