Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

"You are absolutely right, but the boss, these transfer operations will involve a lot of capital transfer. Do you have a good solution?" Susan asked cautiously. Vichai was silent for a while, then said:"I understand that this requires a large amount of capital investment, but for the future of the team, this is necessary."

"I will mobilize all resources and do my best to support these transfers."

"You don't have to worry too much about the funding issue, just act quickly! The new coach and new players must be decided as soon as possible so that they can adapt to the new style of play and the team in time."

"I'll take care of the funding issues, just bring the people here.!"

""Yes, boss! We will definitely work hard to complete these tasks and get the team back to the top!" Steve and Susan said in unison.

It was mid-April, and the atmosphere of the World Cup began to grow stronger. National teams began to call on players from all over the world to participate in training.

Chelsea is full of superstars, and has achieved very impressive results this season. Of course, they are called on, which makes Mourinho very distressed.

Mourinho sat in the office, looking at the stacks of national team call-up notices on the table, and couldn't help frowning.

He has gathered many world-class stars under his command, such as Torres, Lampard, Cech, etc., who are undoubtedly the absolute main force of their respective national teams.

The World Cup is just around the corner, and national teams are looking forward to their top stars to join the training camp for the World Cup. Play a key role in winning the World Cup.

This has invisibly brought a lot of pressure to Mourinho.

On the one hand, he is reluctant to disturb the players' preparations too much; on the other hand, the injuries of these important players also make him worried.

The consumption of a season has caused many players to become ill from overwork, and at this moment they have to undertake a lot of high-intensity training for the national team, which is really worrying.

Mourinho rubbed his temples and decided to communicate well with the head coaches of each national team to develop a training plan that takes into account both the club and the national team.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the players do not get injured during this period of joint training.

Li Lei looked at the slightly empty training ground and felt very uncomfortable. Watching his teammates respond to the call of the national team one by one, but he had no news, how can he be considered a star now?!

"Hey! What are you thinking about, kid? You need to be focused when you train. Captain Terry came over and said

"Ah! Captain, I was a little distracted just now! Captain, why didn't you go to the national team?" Li Lei asked with some envy

"Me! They think I'm too old!" Terry shrugged and said indifferently.

"No, the captain is still at his peak and is definitely capable of competing for a place in the World Cup starting lineup!" Li Lei couldn't help but speak up for the captain.

"Haha, maybe, but I'm beginning to like my life now. It's a blessing to be able to spend every holiday with my family easily."Terry smiled.

"And I believe you will become a rising star of Chinese football and bring glory to the country."

"Keep up the good form and stay focused, your chance will come soon."

"Maybe!" Li Lei sighed.

It is 2014 now, and the dark moment of the Chinese national football team has just begun. It will hit the bottom in ten years. As for whether it will rebound, no one knows, but he can't talk about these to others, so he can only keep them in his heart.

Li Lei thought in a complicated way. He came from the future ten years later and knew the fate of the Chinese national football team. But how much can he change alone?

Maybe he can become the leader of the new generation of Chinese players and add honor to the country with his performance.

But to promote the progress of Chinese football as a whole, it takes much more than the efforts of one person.

"Maybe I can't change the future by myself, but I can light up everyone around me." Li Lei secretly made up his mind.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will do his best to contribute to the rise of the Chinese national football team. Even if it is just a small change, he will feel gratified and proud.

In this way, the time came to April 13, Chelsea went to the White Rock Stadium in Wales to challenge Swansea away.

This is a young team that just entered the Premier League three years ago. Although they have not been in the Premier League for a long time, their strength should not be underestimated. In the 1112 season, 1213 season and this season, the team ranked in the middle of the standings.

The grass of the White Rock Stadium was particularly wet in the drizzle that day, and the surrounding audience seats were filled with fans who came to watch the game early.

Chelsea's bus slowly drove into the home court. Mourinho stood in the locker room and reminded the players for the last time to pay attention to defense and not to take it lightly because of the opponent's reduced strength.

After the players nodded, they opened the door of the locker room and strode into the field.

The warm-up time passed quickly, the referee blew the whistle, and the game officially began!

Due to various reasons, there were many new players in Chelsea's starting lineup for this game. Li Lei and other main players were on standby on the bench, ready to play at any time if the situation was not right.

Facing Chelsea, Swansea did not play conservatively in this game. They took an active approach and frequently organized attacks.

Fortunately, Chelsea's main defense led by Terry was well organized and successfully cleared the ball many times.

The starting lineup in the frontcourt was forward Demba Ba, midfielder Mohamed Salah, William and Andre Schurrle, and the defensive midfielder was Ramires and Nemanja Matic.

Chelsea was sleepwalking throughout the first half and failed to organize any effective attack.

At the end of the first half, Mourinho roared in the locker room:"Your performance is simply shameful! Swansea is obviously a mid-to-lower-level team, but we can't open the situation at all."

After that, head coach Mourinho punched the wall of the locker room.

"If you continue to play like this, you won't be able to win the Premier League this year! Where is your sense of honor? Cheer up!"

In fact, this can't be blamed entirely on the Chelsea players on the field. Swansea wanted to stop Chelsea from���The attack was extremely brutal.

Swansea players received the first yellow card just 9 minutes into the game.

Mourinho replaced two players in a row during the halftime, replacing Salah with Li Lei and Schurrle with Oscar.

After Li Lei came on the court, he soon felt Swansea's strong defense.

The opponent's defenders intercepted him roughly and attacked him personally.

However, Li Lei was not discouraged. Instead, he relied on his speed and awareness to dribble flexibly and created multiple offensive opportunities for the team.

This substitution finally paid off in the 68th minute, and he successfully broke through Swansea's iron bucket formation with the ball.
