Chapter 657: Get out of the shadow

"After the end of the European Championship qualifiers group stage on November 22, the entire qualifiers came to an end. The top two of the 14 groups of seven groups entered the European Championship final next summer. They plus two hosts Switzerland and Austria formed the entire squad for the 13th European Championship... Although this qualifiers began with subversion, traditional strong teams such as Italy, England and Spain were in great trouble at the beginning, but he

However, they still advanced to the finals of the European Championship. In the past 12 Cups, a total of nine championships were produced. Except for the former Soviet Union and Denmark, all other champions were shortlisted. Among them, Italy drew and lost in the first two rounds of the group. However, they still defeated Scotland and Ukraine with their tenacity. England was even more dangerous. After losing the away game against Russia, they could not even control their destiny, and the pass in Leiden East

After coach Qi Xiao Ming put out the fire in the middle, under the command of luck and Xiao Ming, they beat Croatia, which advanced early and became the first place in the group. Spain's performance is even more commendable. Aragonis defeated the public with the Valencia Gang as the team, supplemented by Barcelona's midfielder double stars and Real Madrid players. He won three consecutive games in one go, and defeated three qualifying competitors Denmark, Sweden and Northern Ireland, and advanced to the main game. As for the Netherlands, although they qualified,

However, Van Basten's employment is very suspicious. He once abandoned veterans such as Vanny and Sidorf, and the result was poor. Fortunately, he changed his approach in time and returned to the national team. Veterans who used their outstanding performance to help the Dutch group qualify, avoiding the dilemma of failure to qualify. This is also related to the strength of the group they are in. If they were placed in the group in England or Italy, the Netherlands, which had just begun to make efforts later, would probably be difficult for the group to qualify."

"The Leiden Department saves England! If it is said that when Xiao Ming took office, he clearly wanted to use Leiden Oriental players to reuse Leiden Oriental players at the beginning of his tenure, then the exciting performance of Leiden Oriental in the last game was enough to make everyone shut up, and Xiao Ming did not at all recruit all the English players from Leiden Oriental to the English national team without any distinction. Although there are only a few English players among the main players of Leiden Oriental, there are still many English players on their bench. We can worry about anything else, but there is no need to worry that Xiao Ming will seek economic benefits for himself in the position of the head coach of the national team... Now I am looking forward to the European Cup next summer. The game against Croatia does not give Xiao Ming much time, but depending on his adjustments to the team and his excellent vision of digging the players, perhaps more young players will be selected for the national team."

After the qualifiers, major European sports media commented on the qualifiers. Although in terms of results, this qualifiers are calm, but from the process, the four words "storm" - Italy, England, the Netherlands, and Spain - may all fail in the qualifiers. However, they still used their tenacious perseverance and the foundation of a strong team to break out of difficulties. This journey of qualifying is obviously more attractive than the process of qualifying for ease.

In the English media, it is naturally more about Xiao Ming's legendary performance that has turned into Hell into England. Many reporters are very interested in what happened in the locker room during the intermission. However, people in the locker room during the intermission are silent about this, which has aroused the curiosity of countless people.

In fact, no one will say it everywhere, even if there is no unspoken rule in the locker room - Xiao Ming naturally would not say that he scolded someone during the intermission, nor would he say that he started to get angry after being scolded...

But one thing is certain - letting Xiao Ming be the firefighter is the most correct decision the FA has made in the past year, and no one will doubt this.

Just as everyone was praising Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming immediately returned home after the post-match celebration - although he had been training in London for the past ten days, in order to set an example, Xiao Ming and the players ate and lived together. Although he only played one official game, it was enough to make Xiao Ming feel a little exhausted.

In addition, he hasn't seen Jessica - especially the child in her belly - for more than ten days - and just wants to go home quickly and stay with his wife's child who has not yet been born.

Although this game was a glorious, Xiao Ming didn't know how much he paid behind it. Just integrating the team was enough to make him tired. The coaching staff in England were not as good as the coaching staff of Leiden Oriental, which could make Xiao Ming worry-free. Now Xiao Ming just wants to have a good rest.

However, even this is not an easy task. The day after the team qualifies, the FA was anxious and angry to send him a formal contract. All the conditions discussed by Xiao Ming and Thompson were written on it - it seems that the FA is now determined to tie Xiao Ming to the national team.

Seeing that the conditions were similar to those before, Xiao Ming also signed it very happily. The contract was signed for two and a half years, which was to sign the 10-year World Cup, which also showed the sincerity of the FA. After all, in the national team's coaching contract, it is normal to sign a contract with a competition as a cycle. The FA and Xiao Ming have been signing the contract until the summer of 2010, which itself proves that they want Xiao Ming to work for a long time.

After signing his name on the contract, Xiao Ming began to seriously consider the next candidate.

Of course, it will not be another candidate, but a candidate to replace himself as the head coach of Leiden Oriental - before the end of the season, although the English national team's game mission is only two warm-up matches in March, playing the European Championship is not just about gathering all the players before the start of the game - the fluctuations in the player's condition, whether the physical fitness is sufficient, whether the characteristics are in line with the head coach's tactics, whether there are any new players to stand out... These are factors that the head coach of the national team needs to consider.

Even if you won’t be as tired as you did a few days ago, you may be a little bit too hard to do. If you don’t do it well, it will be easy to be unpleasant to both ends.

But there are really no one to find when changing coaches in the middle - Xiao Ming has few coaches who are eyeing. He originally planned to hire Mourinho, but in history, Mourinho has been dismissed at this time, but now he has not been dismissed at Chelsea, and he is still tenaciously staying in this position...

"Why is this guy not over yet?" Xiao Ming murmured in his heart. Other excellent head coaches such as Benitez Ancelotti Mancini and others are still quite stable. Besides, he doesn't admire Mancini too much, so he looks down on Rijcalde. Mourinho is obviously the most suitable object.

Although Xiao Ming knew that Mourinho was a person who was unwilling to be restrained, Xiao Ming also knew that Mourinho hoped that he could become a "godfather" head coach like Ferguson, which is no longer a secret in later generations - although Xiao Ming traveled through time in 2010, he still believed that after Ferguson retired, Manchester United was very likely to become Mourinho's last destination.

But although Mourinho's position is a bit shaky, he still has not been discontinued from the position of Chelsea head coach. Xiao Ming can only continue to lead the team. He cannot leave the team behind halfway, let alone he wants to lead the team to win the seventh championship...

After a day off at home - he only had such a long rest time - Xiao Ming immediately returned to the club to prepare for the 14th round of the Premier League game the next day.

In the 14th round, Leiden East faced Wigan Athletics at home. When Xiao Ming walked out of the player's passage, he received the warmest cheers.

If Leiden Oriental fans’ love for Xiao Ming was based on the club level before, then now, there is another factor in supporting him!

Xiao Ming frequently waved to the stands, and the enthusiastic cheers of the fans never stopped after he walked out, so that Xiao Ming had to stand up many times to thank the fans during the game.

"Being liked by too many people is also a troublesome, boss." McDonald said to Xiao Ming with a smile, and Xiao Ming shrugged without an answer.

In fact, he enjoyed this feeling very much. It was very pleasant to be loved by so many people.

What is after having power, fame, and profit? I am afraid that what I pursue is the love of countless people! After having everything, the emperors in ancient times wanted to leave a good reputation in history. It was driven by this mentality. When you have no food to eat, you will naturally not think about anything that will be remembered forever, but after you have the conditions, you don’t want to? There are also such people, but they are all saints who are absolutely indifferent to fame and fortune. There are not many pseudo-saints in human history, but there are quite a few pseudo-saints.

In this game, Leiden Oriental, who was at home, finally defeated Fulham with two goals, while Manchester United, who had previously ranked first, lost to Bolton in the gutter, and was overtaken by two points by Leiden Oriental. Manchester United's points fell to third place, behind Arsenal and Leiden Oriental, who also had 32 points, tied with Liverpool. Chelsea, who had slightly recovered, defeated the derby two goals away in this round of the league, ranking fifth with 28 points.

After this round of league play, Leiden Oriental ushered in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, facing Porto at home.

Previously, Porto defeated Marseille 2-1 at home, ranking first in the group with eight points. Leiden Oriental and Marseille tied for second in five points, while Besiktas was at the bottom of three points. The schedule was not very favorable for Leiden Oriental. If they could not defeat Porto in this game and Marseille scored all three points from Besiktas, then in the last round, they might fall into a situation where they were tied by their opponents and died unjustly in the group stage. The result of two draws and one loss in the first three rounds was too harmful, especially Besiktas lost to Marseille and Porto, but won a game by Leiden Oriental. In a group, the performance of the team recognized as the weakest can often influence the results of all games.

"Leedon Oriental must win this game so that it can fully control the initiative. In the last round of the league, Xiao Ming sent most of the substitutes, which is obviously keeping his strength for this game. Perhaps no one had thought that Leiden Oriental, who has the best performance in the Champions League in the past ten years, actually encountered a hard battle in a not-strong group this season. Can Xiao Ming save Leiden Oriental's fate like saving England? Let's wait and see."

"Forget the first round of the game. We were not really us at that time... Think about how we played eight goals on this field. We were just testing the lineup before. What's ridiculous is that those guys began to think we were not good! Now let's use our performance to tell them that Leiden East has never been bad!"

Xiao Ming only said this before the start of the game, and he had sufficient confidence.

In this game, Xiao Ming sent a mixed lineup of half-main and half-substitutes, goalkeeper Jasqueline, defenders Daniel, Joel Luca, Lucio and Ashley Cole, midfielders Mascherano, Pirlo, Beckham and Modric, and the forward combination was a combination of Fanny and Ronaldo, and Gerald, Hypia and Messi rested.

At the beginning of this game, Leiden East launched a fierce attack. Modric's running position was very flexible. In addition to the middle, he often appeared on the left. His breakthroughs and shots were quite outstanding. Fanny was at the front, while Ronaldo was swimming behind him. The tactics played by this lineup were different from the 4333 that Leiden East had used to before, but they were equally excellent.

Just six minutes into the game, Leiden East scored a goal. Ronaldo's breakthrough forced a corner kick. Beckham's accurate corner kick was passed to the back point. Fanny, who jumped up high, broke through the opponent's goal with a powerful header!

After leading with one goal, Leiden East played more easily. As long as they win this game, they can return to the top position in the group - with the same score as Porto, but the relationship between them is the same. Even if the last three teams scored the same score and the outcome was stalemate, Leiden East had enough goal difference to allow them to occupy an absolutely favorable position.

However, Leiden Oriental did not stop winning because of this. They would have to play a lot of games next, including the Club World Cup in Japan. If Xiao Ming did not value the Club World Cup very much last season, then he would have valued it a little this season. He won the seventh crown. Even if Barcelona still won the sixth crown like in history, they could only eat dust behind Leiden Oriental. Leiden Oriental will be the first team to win such honors!

Porto is not a weak team. Although Porto, who won the championship, has been broken up, their foundation is still there. Right back Bosinva and central defender Alves are both excellent players. However, in terms of offense, their two wing players, Mariano Gonzalez and Quaresma, were defended tightly by two top wing defenders of Leiden Oriental. The fancy moves of Quaresma, who can twist their legs into twists on the Portuguese field, have no room for display in front of the calm Daniel. The double captains of England and Leiden Oriental used several excellent defenses and tough physical collisions to make the fragile Portuguese genius honest.

Ronaldo, who had previously formed the wings of Sporting Lisbon with Quaresma, has now thrown the number one star out of the boss. Before the end of the first half, Ronaldo cleverly turned around at the front of the penalty area after receiving Modric's straight pass, and then shot hard to break through Elton's ten fingers, 2-0, and Leiden East expanded the score.

During the intermission, Xiao Ming only said one sentence.

"Continue to attack! Break their defense!"

His players faithfully carried out his request and expanded the score again shortly after the second half.

Beckham created a free kick, Pirlo drove the ball into the penalty area, and Porto's defender Stepanov hit the ball with his arm when he jumped up to compete for the top. This unnecessary action made him get a yellow card and was awarded a penalty. Vanny took the penalty and scored twice.

Seeing that he was already leading by 3 to 0, Xiao Ming chose to substitute. Messi replaced Beckham, Olic replaced Fanny, and Bentley replaced Ronaldo - Leiden East's formation changed back to 433.

With the big lead, Xiao Ming was happy to test the lineup again. He didn't believe that Porto still has the ability to win the score back now.

Despite a new offensive lineup and Porto launched a tide of counterattacks, Leiden East's advantage still exists.

When the game reached the 88th minute, Leiden East scored another goal.

After Messi broke through on the left, he passed the ball to the middle, Modric passed it in time, Bentley made a cross from the right, and Mascherano, who was in the penalty area to compete for the top, interfered with the opponent's goalkeeper's sight. Elton made a mistake in attack, and Olic easily pushed the ball into the empty goal from the back point - a bargain four meters in front of the goal, which was a more difficult shot than a shot.

Four to zero! Another massacre, and this massacre is still a team that once won the Champions League championship...

Four to zero. Although the goal scored half of the previous game was reduced, the fans of Leiden Oriental are still very satisfied. For them, there are constant good news recently, including the league, national team, and now the Champions League...

Leiden Oriental, who won two consecutive victories and scored 12 goals in the Champions League, successfully walked out of the shadow of the first three rounds of unwinding, which also proves a fact announced by Xiao Ming - the previous performance was not good? That's not the real us!
Chapter completed!
