Chapter 244: Beacon Smoke Dissipates
The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals is all over. In this round of competition, the major teams have appeared one after another, but the endings are different.
The teams with the best performance are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid beat Schalke 04 6-1 away, and Paris beat Leverkusen 4-0 away. It can be said that it is completely decided.
Atletico Madrid beat AC Milan by one goal in the away game, and Dortmund won Zenit 4-2 in the away game. The two teams left the suspense to the second round of the game.
But this round of the Premier League semi-finals battle is very tragic.
Chelsea scored a valuable away goal in a difficult 1-1 draw with Galatasaray in the away game, while the other three Premier League teams were not so lucky.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, all lost 2-0 to their respective opponents: Arsenal were scored twice by Bayern at the Emirates Stadium, Manchester City were won by two goals by Barcelona at the Etihad Stadium, the second leg They all have to go to the away game, which is really bad luck.
The Premier League giants Manchester United lost 0-2 at home to the Devils in Olympiacos. The Red Devils performed like sleepwalking and only conceded two goals in the away game. This is very lucky.
The top four of the Premier League have a lot of bad luck in this year's Champions League competition. It is really difficult to break through.
But all of these have nothing to do with the current Jin Taige. At this time, he was sitting on the return plane, leaning on the seat, and fell asleep deeply.
Two hours ago, this tumultuous game finally came to an end. Manchester United left the Kareskakis Stadium in great disappointment with a defeat. When Manchester United players leave the field, it's like they're fleeing. Out of consideration for the safety of the players, Kintag even decided to cancel the post-match press conference privately, even at the risk of being punished by UEFA, he would not hesitate. Now Kintag has only one idea, which is to bring the Manchester United soldiers home safely as soon as possible.
If possible, Kintag never wants to come to this stadium again.
The game has been over for a long time, and Jin Taige, who came out of the locker room, can still hear the noise outside the player tunnel on the court. He can imagine how lively the stadium will be now—— The fans sang the team anthem loudly, shouted the names of the players, and enjoyed the victory excitedly; and the Olympiacos players will definitely go around the field to express their gratitude to the players. Everyone's face must be filled with victory the laughter of the audience.
Kintag knows that these are all things that a winner should enjoy, and Manchester United have experienced these more than once this season, but at this moment, Manchester United has left as a loser, and they don't even have time to go to the away fans. The stands, expressing their gratitude to the fans who followed the team on their expedition to Greece, left the stadium in a hurry.
After the game, Olympiacos club officials kindly tried to persuade Kim Teg, hoping that they could leave the Kareskakis Stadium as soon as possible, because if they did not leave, there might be rioting fans outside the stadium, even if the time came. Even if the police came forward, it would be difficult to clear the road.
Jin Taige smiled wryly to himself: Maybe the home fans would not be like this. After all, their team won Manchester United, 2-0, and won simply and neatly. They should not have too much hostility towards Manchester United.
Although he laughed at himself, he was still very vigilant. He didn't stay too long, and asked the team's staff to speed up the packing of their luggage, quickly organized the players to get on the bus, rushed directly to the airport, and returned to Manchester as soon as possible.
When Jin Taige boarded the plane with the Manchester United soldiers, he counted the number of people on the plane and confirmed that they were correct, so he was completely at ease.
Sitting in a row with Scholes, he breathed a sigh of relief, which was a little more relieved.
"Paul, this is really an unforgettable day." Jin Taige said with a sigh.
Scholes also shook his head: "Yes, the famous devil's stadium in Europe is really well-deserved. Although I played here before,
But it still feels very different today. At that time, I was a player, playing on the court, I didn’t feel so scary; but today, standing on the sidelines as the coach of the team, I am closer to the fans’ stands, and the feeling is suddenly different. The whole game felt like the home fans were yelling at me right behind me, which made me uncomfortable. Captain, I think you feel the same way, right? "
Jin Taige nodded: "Yes, this is the first time for me to come to the Kareskakis Stadium. I always thought that when I went to Anfield Stadium, it was already very painful. Compared with the Devil's home stadium, Anfield is quiet. It's almost like a library."
"But I may come here again in the future. After all, the captain will coach Manchester United for many years. I am still waiting to see Manchester United dominate Europe again." Scholes said from the bottom of his heart.
But after a long time, Kintag didn't answer, Scholes turned his head and saw that Kintag had already fallen asleep, and Scholes looked at Kintag beside him, feeling a little distressed.
Maybe others don't know, but Scholes understands Kintag very well. Since taking office at the beginning of the season, Kintag has been subject to controversy and has been criticized by major media from time to time. When he bought many young stars one after another and was questioned by the media and fans, when he lost in the league and fell behind Manchester City by 13 points, when his Champions League qualifying situation was in crisis and was not favored by everyone, when When he faced the crisis of leaving get out of class and was almost abandoned by the board of directors, at those times, no one knew how Kim Taige survived. His face was always full of sunshine and full of confidence, as if all difficulties would follow. The loss of time is easily resolved. He trusts the coaching staff, the players, the fans, the club, and he trusts himself even more.
Scholes thought to himself: Maybe when he wakes up, the positive and confident captain will come back again.
"Hi, please get me a 'blanket' blanket, thank you."
Scholes put the blanket on Kintag's body lightly, Kintag's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his breathing was still even.
The plane was advancing steadily at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The weather was fine today, and I couldn't feel the turbulence caused by the airflow at all. Scholes looked around and saw that the Manchester United players and staff were almost closing their eyes. The hustle and bustle of the Kareskakis Stadium, and looking at how the players are resting quietly at this moment, it is really like two lives.
Thinking of this, Scholes also slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In fact, Scholes didn't know that his captain, Jin Taige, was really a man of two lifetimes... Please read the latest chapter of "The Red Devil's Successor Claw Machine Bookstore" for free for the first time.
