    Chapter 684: Intrigue and deception

    "The European Super Cup in the 2004-05 season has its name. Newcastle, the champion of the Champions League last season, won the Super Cup after defeating the UEFA Cup champion Valencia. This is the third championship trophy they have won this year. After coming from China  After the rich man Pei Wei took over, Newcastle quickly ended their thirty-three-year championship-less history. Newcastle fans rejoiced. Now no one thinks that Pei Wei¡¯s taking over of Newcastle is a bad event. This veteran team  The team has become a decisive force in European football."

    "The young Portuguese head coach Mourinho has achieved honors that most European coaches would struggle to obtain in their lifetime. When Pei Wei appointed the 40-year-old Mourinho as the head coach of Newcastle, many Newcastle fans were very excited.  They are dissatisfied with this. Although Bobby Robson, who has high prestige in Newcastle, supports Mourinho, many fans believe that since Pei Wei can spend more than 80 million pounds to buy players in the transfer market, why?  Can't you invite a world-famous coach? The current situation proves that maybe Mourinho is not the best coach in the world, but he is the most suitable coach for Newcastle. He knows what Newcastle fans want, and only a championship.  ¡±

    After the Super Cup, all major European media conducted in-depth coverage of this game. All media agreed that Newcastle has now completely revived, no, it should be said to have achieved greater glory - because even in Newcastle's heyday  , they have never won the European Champions Cup.

    Newcastle is so popular in Europe that it has even spread to the upcoming Champions League draw - everyone believes that Newcastle will definitely be assigned to a death group in this Champions League group stage draw. The good things of last season will not happen again.  Yes.

    In fact, not only they think this way, but also the Newcastle fans think so. The so-called "hot will die", this gimmick of UEFA is already well known to everyone.  Several focus collisions last season allowed Newcastle to inexplicably take advantage of it. It is estimated that UEFA is also unhappy. I am afraid they will not let Newcastle off the hook easily this time.

    This time Pei Wei and Mourinho came to Zurich, Switzerland together, and legitimately entered the hall of the lottery ceremony as an assistant coach. When they stepped out of the car, countless reporters flashed their flashlights at them. The defending champion  Their status as Super Cup champions is enough to get them the most attention, not to mention that Mourinho is the youngest head coach to win the European Champions Cup.

    "Jose, I heard that the last time you came here was deserted, but now there are so many people paying attention Tsk tsk. How do you feel?" Pei Wei smiled while nodding to the reporters standing on both sides.  Said to Mourinho.

    "Not very good." Mourinho said with an unmoved face: "If we are eliminated from the Champions League group stage this season, no one will pay attention to us. They will only say that we Newcastle are the best after winning the championship.  I¡¯m starting to be proud. Mourinho is starting to look arrogant. The media will praise you when you¡¯re good and throw you to the ground when you¡¯re bad Anyway, they are all mouthy.¡±

    Pei Wei almost fell to the ground.  Fortunately, now that they have entered the hall, no reporters noticed them - Inter Milan's newly appointed head coach Mancini followed them, and all the reporters' attention was attracted by the Italian.

    "Jose, you are so nasty I am very surprised how you can say such lewd words in a serious manner." Pei Wei said.

    Mourinho was stunned for a moment: "Why am I so obscene?"

    "They are all mouths anyway" Pei Wei sighed and said: "How can you describe our reporters with such words? Although they are a bit mean, and sometimes they will do anything to attract attention, but they  After all, most of it is men¡¯s land¡­¡±

    Mourinho thought for a while before he understood what Pei Wei meant, and he almost fell over - his words obviously had no other meaning.  Why did it fall into Pei Wei's ears that he had ulterior motives?

    After giving Pei Wei a sideways look, Mourinho found a chair and sat down angrily. Pei Wei also sat down, coughed and said: "Jose, I know you have never thought highly of those reporters  But I want to tell you, you can¡¯t do without them. You can definitely learn to use them, and sometimes they are still very useful.¡±

    "I understand this, but it depends on how to use it." Mourinho showed a smile: "As long as I continue to win. No matter how ruthless I am to them, they will bite me like flies If I don't get  No matter how nice I am to them, they still have no interest in trying to trick me, right? "

    Pei Wei smacked Mourinho¡¯s words, it¡¯s reallyThis is such a reason. It seems that he does not need to remind himself. Mourinho knows how to deal with those reporters.  But Mourinho just said reporters are flies, so isn't he himself

    Mourinho saw Pei Wei¡¯s strange look.  I immediately discovered the flaw in my words.  He snorted twice and stopped talking.

    Seeing that Mourinho was silent.  Pei Wei began to look around at other people. Mourinho and Pei Wei arrived neither too early nor too late. There are already many coaches in the hall, including many well-known coaches, such as Real Madrid head coach Camacho and Bayern Munich.  Head coach Hitzfeld, Inter Milan head coach Mancini, Barcelona head coach Frank Rijkaard

    A gathering of talents. Except for the draw of the Champions League group stage, I am afraid that there will never be so many high-level European coaches gathered together. Although Pei Wei has passed the age of chasing stars, it does not prevent him from getting closer.  There are not many opportunities to watch these world-renowned head coaches from a distance.

    Soon, more and more people started to fill the hall, and there was a lot of noise in front of the door. Benitez and Abramovich entered the venue together. As the double champions last season, Benitez also made a strong move to Chelsea this season.  Si can definitely attract enough attention, not to mention Abramovich. Although Pei Wei stole a lot of the limelight, no one can ignore this Russian.

    After entering the hall, Abramovich looked around and his eyes fell on Pei Wei and Mourinho. His eyes lit up and he strode towards Pei Wei with Benitez.

    "Pei, long time no see!" Abramovich greeted Pei Wei enthusiastically and gave him a Russian-style hug. Pei Wei also greeted him enthusiastically and also gave him a hug: "Chelsea this year  It's a good start, Mr. Abramovich, I think Chelsea is our biggest opponent in the league this yearRaphael is a good coach."

    Abramovich smiled happily: "Yes, he is a good coach Do you know why I chose him?"

    "Only the devil knows." Pei Wei murmured in his heart, but his face smiled like a morning glory: "My friend, I can never guess what you are thinking. To me, you are very important.  mystery!"

    "You are too polite! Your compliment will make me so happy that I can't sleep all night." Abramovich mysteriously leaned close to Pei Wei's ear and whispered softly: "Because he used to be your head coach I can't poach Wenger.  But Mourinho refused to come, so I had no choice but to choose him!¡±

    Pei Wei was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Abramovich chose Benitez for this reason: "That really surprised me."

    "I believe in your vision. The coaches and players you selected are all excellent, just like Ibrahimovic. I was even willing to pay 50 million pounds to buy him, but it's a pity that you refused!" Abramovich said seriously.

    "I think he is worth more than 50 million pounds." Pei Wei still smiled, but there was a knife in his smile: "He is a priceless treasure, Mr. Abu."

    "Call me Roman, that's what my friends should call me." Abu waved his hand: "I know he is priceless There is a saying in China that people with noble character will not compete for other people's favorite things. This kind of thing  I won¡¯t do it.¡±

    Come on, think about how Chelsea snatched Ashley Cole from Arsenal in the future, you still have the nerve to say that a gentleman does not take what others like After making a slander, Pei Wei showed his most cordial expression.  smile and started chatting with Abu.

    Different from the duplicitous conversation between the two bosses, the conversation between Mourinho and Benitez was much more sincere. In terms of eloquence, the two people were evenly matched. In later generations, Mourinho's venomous tongue hit all the invincible players in the world.  , but they have never taken advantage of each other in their fights with Benitez. What's more, there is no tense atmosphere between them now, and they still have a good chat.

    Both of them are smart people and excellent coaches. Although they are currently in opposition, they more or less feel sympathy for each other. What's more, as two head coaches in the same league, they both know that Chelsea and  It is impossible for Newcastle to be placed in the same group - the chances of being placed in the same group with teams from the same league are too small.

    "Jose, congratulations to you Super Cup champion." Benitez smiled and extended his hand to Mourinho, saying with a little regret: "What a pity, if I were still in Valencia, I would  I don¡¯t think your victory will come easily. Ranieri¡¯s transformation of Valencia is obviously not very successful.¡±

    "We will have opportunities to compete, at least twice every season, maybe more." Mourinho said with a pun.

    "Do you think we will be divided into a group in the Champions League? Impossible." Benitez smiled.Come.

    "Knockout round." Mourinho said with certainty: "It's very possible."

    Benitez laughed knowingly, and the two talked for a few more words, and their eyes soon focused on Pei Wei and Abramovich, who were having an "intimate" conversation.

    "What did you think of? A Chinese idiom." Benitez whispered to Mourinho.

    "It's a conspiracy." Mourinho nodded and said softly.

    Over there, Abu and Pei Wei were smiling brightly.
