Chapter 787, Arrogant Provocation!
Manchester United were at the Parc des Princes for adaptation training, while Paris Saint-Germain held a press conference.
Head coach Unai Emery and team captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic entered the scene of the pre-match press conference.
Before the press conference, Emery told Ibrahimovic: "When you face the reporters later, you must pay attention to what you say. Don't provoke Manchester United too much. We must maintain the demeanor of Paris."
"Yeah." Ibrahimovic nodded and didn't say anything else.
Emery suddenly felt a headache. For Ibrahimovic, the thorn, don't say that his own words don't work, even the club chairman's words don't work. And this season, Ibrahimovic originally planned to leave Paris, but finally agreed to stay in Paris for another year under the persuasion of the club's senior management. And as Emery who just joined Paris in the summer of 2016, his voice in the team is not even as good as Ibrahimovic, which makes him very depressed...
But character belongs to character, Ibrahimovic is still very strong, and he also has the capital to be arrogant.
In Ligue 1 this season, Ibrahimovic has scored 25 league goals and is far ahead in the scorer list. As the king of Paris, he led Paris to destroy the city and make great strides all the way. Paris was able to renew the contract with Ibrahimovic for one year, which is also the result of the extreme efforts of the club's top management.
During the summer transfer period, when Ibrahimovic completed his contract extension with Paris, he immediately announced to the media in a high-profile manner.
"The most valuable signing in Paris this season has been born!"
The arrogant Ibrahimovic will continue to pursue the Champions League dream in Paris.
During the transfer period last summer, in addition to the blockbuster news of Ibrahimovic's contract extension, Emery's joining brought Paris back to life and rekindled the hope of competing for the Champions League.
In the past three years, he has led Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League titles, creating a football miracle, and his rich experience in European wars is what Paris lacks the most. Paris has given him the task Very simply - win the Champions League!
Although this goal is very far away, it is not out of reach for Emery. Because Paris's lineup is absolutely luxurious, all three lines are world-class stars, and the depth of the bench is also sufficient, so Emery has put in all his energy this season to hit the Champions League.
Although Emery has great ambitions, he is a very low-key person, just the opposite of Ibrahimovic's publicity.
Especially in today's press conference, Emery appeared humble and cautious. When the reporter asked about the game, Emery seemed very cautious and answered cautiously.
"As the only giant team in Europe that has won seven championships in a natural year, Manchester United has undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of Europe. They won the seven championships not by luck, but by strong strength. Manchester United Head coach Kim Taeg is a top-level coach. Although he is young, he has experienced many battles. Tomorrow's game against Manchester United is unpredictable."
"However, Paris Saint-Germain has been in a hot state recently. We are unbeaten in the league, and we have won consecutive domestic cups. There are many world-class players in the team. I believe this game will be a close game. "
Hearing Emery's words, the reporters curled their lips a little.
After talking for a long time, this is equivalent to not saying a word.
At this time, a reporter targeted Ibrahimovic who was sitting next to Emery: "What do you think of this game?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Ibrahimovic snorted coldly, and he stretched out three fingers: "Three goals, I will score three goals for Manchester United in this game!"
The reporters were in an uproar.
Ibrahimovic's answer is really amazing!
A reporter continued to ask excitedly: "So, do you have the confidence to win this game?"
Ibrahimovic sneered: "Since I can perform a hat-trick, I can beat Manchester United! Unless someone in the Manchester United team can score four or five goals, then they still have a chance to beat us!"
After hearing what Ibrahimovic said, Emery smiled bitterly,
I thought: This Ibrahimovic with a big mouth is really arrogant.
But Emery thought again, this is also good, since Paris wants to compete for the Champions League, then it must have the domineering of the Champions League, and a team like Ibrahimovic is also a great encouragement to the team's morale.
Ibrahimovic's words caused an uproar, especially the media and fans who followed Manchester United were extremely angry.
Although many English media usually criticize Manchester United, they are still on the side of the Premier League team at the European level.
"The Times" reporter Leslie's article title is "the powerful veteran Ibrahimovic!"
The pictures in this article are very interesting. In a photo of Ibrahimovic, a fan in the background is sitting in the stands with a cane. Although the distance between the two people is not close, the photo processing is just right, and the two of them are perfectly at the same time. focus.
The meaning of this picture is very obvious. They want to tell everyone that Ibrahimovic is old and has long lost his former courage.
Hall of the "Manchester Evening News" even wrote: "If you can perform a hat-trick, then we can score five goals in a row!"
The outside world was noisy, but the Manchester United team was very calm. They train and rest like calm water, as if they are isolated from the world. And all the players also followed Jin Taige's request and were not allowed to accept any interviews from the outside world.
Facing the silence of the Manchester United general, not only Ibrahimovic made provocative words, but even the French media kept asking questions. They thought that Manchester United was cowardly, and they were timid before the game started.
Kim Taige still did not respond. He asked a French-speaking staff member in the team to buy a bunch of newspapers from the newsstand, and then translated them to Kim Taige one by one.
Jin Taige left a few newspapers he liked more, put them in his bag, and prepared to take them to the competition site.
Now that the game is getting closer and closer, the Manchester United players are very calm on the face, but there is a fire in their hearts. They can't wait to play now and fight Paris!
In the hotel gym, the players chat while warming up.
Griezmann put down the barbell, picked up a water glass and took a few sips of water: "There are many friends of my French national team in the Paris team, but I can't take care of so many at night. I must beat them to the ground!"
Lewandowski next to him was pulling the leg training equipment. He had a slight injury today and was sitting on the bench. I don't know if he will be able to play today. But Lewandowski was also determined.
If I have the chance to play today, then I must beat Paris hard, and let this group of arrogant guys lose even their underwear!
