Chapter 352 I Ate the Ball!

"Roman!"

Daria Zhukova walked into the living room and came to Abramovich who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Why don't you go to dinner?" She sat down next to Abramović and asked with a smile.

Abramovich laughed, "Don't worry, just finish watching the game first!"

"Hee hee, I see you, when did you get so fascinated by watching a football game, you don't even have to eat!"

"That's natural!" Abramović laughed.

"When Chelsea lost the game yesterday, the reporters attacked us with all their might, and they said that they put their hopes on Manchester United and Manchester City. As a result, you see, Manchester City is wilting now, right?"

After speaking, the Russian laughed.

Daria Zhukova shook her head and smiled bitterly. What does it have to do with you losing?

"Hey, three to two, didn't Manchester City win?"

"You don't understand that, right?" Abramovich pointed to the TV with a smile.

"It was a two-legged game, Manchester City lost 0-1 away in the first leg and now it's 3-2."

"Even so, the total score is three to three." Zhukova still didn't understand.

"Sporting Lisbon have two away goals, counting half a ball, so it's three to three and five, unless Manchester City score another goal, otherwise, they lose!"

Zhukova listened, still not very clear, but did not ask any more questions.

Just then, the game was over.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

At this time, ace commentator John Mortensen expressed his regret for Manchester City's tragic elimination.

"We just got news from another stadium. In Bilbao, Spain, although Manchester United chased a goal, they ended up losing to Athletic Bilbao away with a score of 1-2."

"In two rounds, Manchester United lost three to five and were eliminated!"

"In this way,

Manchester United and Manchester City, who had high hopes for everyone, failed to reverse the situation in the end, and both left the Europa League. In addition, Chelsea and Arsenal were eliminated from the Champions League before, and Birmingham, Fulham and other teams were eliminated. Out of the Europa League, the Premier League team was wiped out in the European competition! "

John Mortensen pronounced this regrettable news in a tone full of sadness.

It is not that the Premier League has been wiped out, but it has not been like this for a long, long time. It has just entered March, and the teams of the Premier League have missed the European competition.

too early!

"However, we still have one hope, and that is Southampton from the Championship!"

"After the live broadcast of this game, our TV channel 1 will continue to broadcast the next Europa League game, Southampton away to Bat Legion Valencia!"

"This is the only hope left for the whole of English football!"

"It's ironic that the hope that the Premier League team could not fulfill has now fallen to a Championship team."

"In any case, we all hope that Southampton can represent English football and continue to extend this hope. At the very least, I hope they can win back even a little bit of dignity for English football and the league!"

With the end of John Mortensen's voice, the live broadcast of this game also came to an end and began to enter commercial time.

But the subtitles came out, and five minutes later the next Southampton game was broadcast live.

"Huh, Southampton?"

Abramović sneered and shook his head.

"Manchester United and Manchester City have both lost, can Southampton win?"

In the three games, Valencia's strength is the strongest, and Southampton's situation is the worst.

Manchester duo have lost like this, it's no wonder that Southampton can win!

"If Southampton can beat Valencia away to advance, I'll go back and eat football for dinner!"

Abramovich stood up, pointed at the TV, and shouted fiercely.

He just doesn't believe in this evil!

"Welcome, Mr. Yang Huan, welcome to the Mestalla Stadium!"

In the chairman's stand at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, the chairman of Valencia, Manuel Llorente, stretched out his hand towards Yang Huan from a distance and greeted him, looking very hospitable.

He led the team to Southampton before, and with a one-to-one score from St Mary's Stadium, it can be described as a complete retreat.

"Thank you, Monsieur Llorente!"

Yang Huan also stretched out his hand and held it together with him.

"Hello, beautiful Miss Zhuang!" Manuel Llorente also shook hands with Zhuang Ziqing who accompanied Yang Huan to the road.

The chairman of Valencia is similar to the style of the Bat Legion in La Liga, and it is somewhat out of tune.

He is relatively tall, with a square head and a round face, Mediterranean, and slightly fat, but the whole person feels like a ruthless character.

"Mr. Yang Huan, last time you were at St. Mary's Stadium, you caused us a lot of trouble, but this time, at our Mestalla Stadium, you saints don't expect to be able to get out!"

Manuel Llorente said with a laugh.

He seemed to be joking, but he was actually provocative.

Yang Huan smiled lightly, "Mr. Llorente, we're not going to retreat before we kill you Valencia!"

Llorente curled his lips and said with a smile, "It depends on whether you have the skills!"

Yang Huan smiled and said nothing more.

Glancing at the stands of the stadium, Southampton fans were all arranged to go to the corners of the edge, but there were a lot of them.

The Mestalla Stadium has a total of more than 50,000 seats, and Southampton fans occupy about one-third.

And the fans of the Saints are wearing the new season's jerseys, looking very whole.

"Mr. Yang Huan, you Southampton have always advocated offensive football. This time it should be the same, right?"

"Of course!" Yang Huan nodded without hesitation, "We Southampton only play one type of football, and that is offensive football!"

Manuel Llorente laughed, as if this was good news for him.

"I like you and your football, but tonight, we must play so that you can't attack!"

Yang Huan also laughed, "Then we have to see if you Valencia have such skills!"

"Okay, let's see!"

…………

…………

When Yang Huan and Manuel Llorente were tit for tat in the stands, in the media area, Charlene Laheri sat in front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.

This is the first time she has sat in the position of the commentator. Her mind is in a mess now, and she doesn't know what to say at all. When there are unexpected events in the game, how should you say it?

Roger Moses called her again just now and told her to say casually, don't have any scruples or pressure, and say whatever comes to mind.

This must be comforting her!

If the narrator can talk casually, wouldn't anyone be able to do it?

Charlene Laheri closed her eyes and adjusted her emotions.

"Charlene, the players are going to play, get ready!"

Not far away, a staff member was reminding him, and then he saw him raise his hand and start counting seconds.

Three...two...one!

Die or die, just once anyway!

Charlene Laheri opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and moved closer to the microphone.

"Audience friends, everyone, I'm Charlene Laheri, I'm at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, Spain, and I'll give you a live commentary later. Southampton's away game against Valencia Contest!"

"There are still a few minutes before the game starts. We can see that players from both sides have appeared in the player tunnel and are ready to play!"

"I also got the starting list for both sides here."

"Southampton's starting lineup has been adjusted a bit. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the back line is David Alaba, Gary Cahill, Varane and Carvajal. The three midfielders have not changed. It's still Stroman, Toni Kroos and Vidal, while the front three are Neymar, Ibrahimovic and James Rodriguez!"

"Except for Southampton's main defender, Harvey Martinez, who was suspended due to a red card, the other positions are also playing the main force. Before the game, Bielsa also said that Southampton will definitely try to win the opponent away!"

"Before the game, there was still some controversy about Southampton's starting lineup, mainly focusing on the team's away game, whether to attack or defend!"

"From the point of view of the starting lineup, Bielsa chose Toni Kroos instead of Matic. It can be seen that although Southampton is playing away, they still adopt the strategy of offensive football. This is also Southampton's consistent style!"

"Let's hope that Southampton can bring us a wonderful feast of attacking football and successfully advance to the next round!"

Just as Charlene Laheri was explaining Southampton's starting lineup, she heard cheers from the scene.

Under the leadership of the referee, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the stadium.

"We saw that players from both sides entered the field!"

"I don't know if you heard it, but I was there and heard the thunderous drums and cheers made by the Southampton fans, which completely overwhelmed the Valencia fans!"

"As I said just now, this is Southampton's best result in the European competition in the more than 100 years of history, so the fans of the Saints are very, very satisfied, but they also hope that the team can play a big game and make a difference. As!"

"More than 10,000 Saints fans came to the away game, which shows the support of Saints fans for Southampton!

The players of the two teams quickly finished taking pictures, shaking hands and guessing the sidelines, and then returned to their own half to wait for the kick-off.

"Just now, Manchester United and Manchester City were eliminated from the Europa League."

"Now in the Champions League and Europa League, two major European competitions, Southampton is the only remaining English team."

"Let's pray for Southampton together!"

As soon as Charlene Laheri's remarks ended, the referee immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Southampton kicked the ball to Neymar by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Brazilian immediately returned the ball and rushed forward.

The ball landed at the feet of Tony Cross, and after an adjustment, it was assigned to the right, and Carvajal moved forward.

Southampton immediately launched a wave of rapid offensive.

"Southampton aggressively attacked after the opening, but Valencia didn't give in an inch!"

"Stroman moved in a wide range, beautiful, James Rodriguez took the ball on the right, facing Mathieu, trying to break through, the ball was broken."

"Albelda, a turn and long pass, Valencia's quick counterattack!"

When Charlene Laheri said this, she was already a little nervous.

"Feguri on the right received the ball, Valencia's counterattack is very fast, David Alaba is chasing back!"

"Feguri's cross!"

The ball was rubbed high from the right, crossed an arc, and fell to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

At this time, Southampton's two central defenders, Varane and Gary Cahill, made a mistake in judgment when they chased back.

"Dangerous, leak!"

Charlene Laheri screamed in surprise.

At this time, Valencia's striker Soldado passed through the defense area of ​​the two like a ghost and rushed into the penalty area.

Neuer did not expect that the two central defenders would make such a low-level mistake!

He decisively made the move to abandon the door and attack.

But it's still too late!
