Chapter 344: From Benedikt to Chelsea, Transfer at Barcelona (Part )
Amor was invited today to be the special commentator for the Champions League final, partnering with Lineker.
One of them is a loyal fan of Barcelona, and the other is a famous English star and commentator, so their positions are naturally clear.
"It's the annual Champions League final again. The game will be held at Wembley Stadium in London in just over an hour."
"This is a record sixth time that Wembley Stadium has hosted the European Cup final. Similarly, it is also a blessed place for Barcelona. They first lifted the trophy at Wembley before the renovation."
"But Chelsea have yet to win a Champions League title."
"More importantly, Guardiola accepted Vilanova's invitation to serve as his special advisor. It should be noted that in the previous two seasons, Guardiola led the team to win two Champions League titles."
"Although Ancelotti is also a Champions League coach, it is still a bit difficult compared to Barcelona, which is in its heyday."
Amor said with a smile.
Lineker shook his head, not quite agreeing, "Chelsea is a team that has not lost a single game in the Champions League this season, and in terms of offensive firepower, no one can match it."
"Similarly, Chelsea's current core player Charles knows Barcelona very well and is very clear about their offensive style. It was difficult for the players against him today to defend him."
"Compared to the previous two seasons, Barcelona's strength has naturally declined. Even if Guardiola serves as Vilanova's special advisor, it will be difficult for him to play any role."
Amor said nothing more.
The fact that Charles was forced to leave was a wound they would never forget.
……
After changing in the locker room, for some reason, Charles suddenly wanted to go out for some fresh air.
Before Charles could take any action, Ancelotti turned around and said, "Charles, come with me to the pre-match press conference later."
On the other side, Guardiola and Vilanova walked out of the locker room simultaneously.
Before Vilanova could say something, he saw Ancelotti and Charles.
"how are things?"
Guardiola asked with a smile.
Ancelotti raised his eyebrows, then very naturally switched positions with Charles, standing between Charles and Guardiola.
"He's been doing well recently, eating well, sleeping well, and scoring a lot of goals."
Ciel nodded seriously.
Vilanova scratched his head. "...Everyone misses you. Barcelona is still the same as before. We have found a new chef, but Mourinho will never eat any burgers related to us again."
He followed the rules set by Guardiola without changing any of them and inherited them completely.
Except that the president changed from Laporta to Rosell and Barcelona did not have a number seven, everything was exactly the same.
Moreover, with Charles performing as well as ever, especially after winning the Ballon d'Or, Rosell's position as chairman became increasingly unstable.
The fans were also very angry.
They believe that if Charles is still there, the team can once again challenge for the treble.
Just like Chelsea.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Ancelotti looked at Vilanova with dissatisfaction, interrupting all his nostalgic words.
"I don't want to be Wenger. It's enough for you to covet Fabregas alone. I don't like rumors."
The group quickly arrived at the press conference hall.
The two coaches sat in the middle.
But all the media still focused their attention on Guardiola and Charles on both sides.
"Recently, The Sun revealed some details about your joining Chelsea. You are not required to be the first penalty taker or the first free kick taker, but you must be the first penalty taker and the first free kick taker in the game against Barcelona. Is that true?"
Vilanova and Guardiola both glanced over unnoticeably.
Ciel kept smiling.
"real."
All the media below the stands were in an uproar.
"Charles, do you think this match is your battle of revenge?"
"It's not about revenge. As a player, it's my responsibility to take every game seriously. As a member of Chelsea, I know our common goal and I will strive for this great blueprint. We all yearn for the Champions League, and the Champions League is the pursuit of all players. No matter who the opponent is, as long as the game starts, they are our opponents."
"So, Ciel, you're saying that you will definitely win this game, right?"
“I will do everything in my power to do this.”
"Even though Guardiola and Vilanova, your former coaches, know you very well..."
"Yes."
Charles finished speaking, but the reporter didn't finish asking.
"Pep, why did you agree to be Vilanova's special advisor? Does this mean you will return to Barcelona next season?"
Guardiola also laughed when he heard this.
"Being a special adviser has nothing to do with Barcelona. I just want to know if there is real perfection in football."
"what do you mean?"
"If I can limit Charles, then it means that there is no real perfection in the world of football. If there is no such thing, then Charles is perfect."
Smart reporters have already started writing press releases, but not so smart reporters are still asking questions.
"In the 2008-09 season, Barcelona played against Chelsea. Is this Chelsea team more difficult to deal with than it was then?"
Vilanova was very calm. "In my opinion, this Chelsea team is stronger now. This is obvious to all. Moreover, they have also defended the Premier League title and won the FA Cup. Now the morale is very high."
"So what do you think is Chelsea's biggest threat to Barcelona?"
Vilanova knew what answer the reporter wanted, but he didn't want to say it according to the reporter's ideas.
"Chelsea have a lot of good players and they are difficult to play against. Chelsea players are strong and tough. In addition to the offensive end, they also have some good players on the defensive end. They are experienced and know what to do by memory. They always play as a team and are a team with a distinctive style."
Ancelotti and Vilanova also said some irrelevant words.
When leaving, the two coaches walked in front tacitly.
"In 1992, when I was still a player, I wore the number 10 and I won the Champions League here."
"I still remember that year we wore orange jerseys and we were the visiting team. I didn't expect that we are still the visiting team now."
"To be honest, I was quite surprised when Tito called me. Fortunately, I am not the head coach anymore, otherwise my hair would definitely fall out."
"I wanted Puyol to defend you, but Tito said he was injured, so only Mascherano was left... Hey, I used to think he was really good, I didn't have to worry about how to break through, but now I think you're really a nuisance, I don't know how to put you."
Guardiola said with a smile.
"Then just don't be my opponent, Pep."
"Then what should I do? Retire?"
"Pep, I think you are still quite young, maybe you can consider coming back, but I don't know if Chelsea has U40."
Ciel quipped.
"Stinky boy," Guardiola laughed, "then ask for me first, whether Abramovich plans to set up an U50 team, I will play for a few more years and be your teammate." "Forget it, what if I lose my starting position? Pep, where will you go next season?"
Guardiola waved his hand and said, "I won't tell you. We are in the locker room now. I will be your opponent next."
"Is it Manchester City?"
Charles asked with a smile, "Why don't we go to the Bundesliga? The weather in England is cold, and the grass on the field can only be cut to 23 mm. In Germany, the grass can be cut to 19 mm. Don't you like 19 mm grass the most? When we get to the Premier League, I won't show mercy."
Guardiola pushed open the door of the locker room and said, "Let's talk about it after you can beat me."
"I will."
Seeing Charles follow Ancelotti's steps and walk into the locker room, Guardiola immediately closed the door as well.
……
"The Hungarian referee who officiated this match, Kassai, became the youngest referee in the history of the UEFA Champions League final at the age of 35 years and 260 days."
"For Barcelona, Puyol, whose injury worsened during the warm-up, sat on the bench at the start, which meant that Mascherano and Pique partnered to defend the center of the defense; for Chelsea, the rotation was timely, and the team had enough players, so they still had the full starting lineup."
"Here are the match rosters for both teams:"
“巴塞罗那（4-3-3）：1-巴尔德斯/2-阿尔维斯、3-皮克、14-马斯切拉诺、22-阿比达尔/6-哈维、16-布斯克茨、8-伊涅斯塔/17-佩德罗、10-梅西、12-比利亚。”
“切尔西（4-3-3）：1-切赫/19-费雷拉、2-伊万诺维奇、26-特里、3-阿什利·科尔/5-埃辛、12-米克尔、8-兰帕德/15-马卢达、11-德罗巴、7-夏尔。”
"In addition to the King of Spain and Chelsea's Abramovich, there were also Bolt, Henry and others watching this game. It can be said that it attracted worldwide attention."
"According to incomplete statistics, 300 million people around the world will watch this live broadcast."
"I don't know whether the tactics for today's game will be mainly Vilanova's or Guardiola's, but no matter which one it is, they are all in the same style."
"Yesterday a reporter approached Henry who was watching the game and asked him whether he supported Barcelona or Chelsea."
"Henry said he supports Chelsea and said this game will be a Chelsea victory."
"When the reporter asked him why, he said:"
"'When Eto'o was still there, he scored twice, but because he violated the tactical deployment, Guardiola criticized him for not knowing how to play football.'"
"'We must strictly follow his tactical arrangements on the court. If we violate them, he will be unhappy even if we score a goal.'"
"Charles spent the first two years at Barcelona. No one knows Barcelona's attacking style better than him. Plus, Chelsea is also strong, so there is a good chance they will win."
……
The game is about to begin.
The door of the locker room was opened again.
Charles walked at the back, and familiar faces appeared in front of him.
Except for Mascherano, they are all acquaintances.
"Hey, Ciel."
Pedro couldn't smile and greeted him subconsciously.
Charles smiled and nodded.
"Long time no see, Charles," Iniesta said calmly.
"Long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
"pretty good."
"That's good," Charles patted Iniesta on the shoulder and walked past him.
Busquets turned around and extended his hand, "Charles, long time no see."
"Long time no see, what happened when you had the fight with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu that day?"
Ciel asked curiously.
Busquets scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
He couldn't say in front of Pinto that it was because he imitated the referee's whistle during the game that the players from both sides started fighting.
"Carlos, are you okay now?"
Puyol scratched his head and said, "I'm fine, but I can't play for the time being."
"That's great," Charles laughed, "By the way, how is Igor doing lately?"
Puyol was a little speechless. It was almost the Champions League final, and someone still asked him about Real Madrid's goalkeeper situation.
"He's fine. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I remember there shouldn't be any friendly matches recently."
"Nothing, just asking. It's really great that you can't play."
After saying that, Charles just walked away with a smile.
Just as Pique was about to reach out his hand, he saw Charles running away as if he was avoiding him.
"Charles, why are you running?"
"I'm afraid you'll see through me!"
"You know I'm great," Pique said happily, "Let's chat for a while."
Charles also stopped, "Okay, let's chat for a while. How about Fabregas? What did you say in your report? Don't think of going after him. It's not easy for Wenger to buy players. I heard that Wenger came to La Masia again recently and took a fancy to someone, but he's a little expensive, he wants 200 million. Can you help bargain for him and make it cheaper..."
"Forget it, forget it," Pique said with a headache, "You should go first. I see through you."
Even if Wenger wants to buy someone, he has no say in the matter.
Moreover, after not seeing each other for a while, Charles has become more and more talkative.
He really regretted it now and took the initiative to chat with him.
"Don't," Charles' smile remained on his face, "Let's continue chatting. I think it's good. You see, 150 million is about right..."
"Okay, since you're not interested in this, let's talk about something else. How's your relationship with Shakira lately?"
"You don't want to talk about this? What about Fabregas?"
Valdez saw this scene and smiled without saying anything.
But when Charles walked up to him, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He still couldn't forget how Charles overcame all obstacles in the two Champions League finals.
As a goalkeeper, he was far away from Charles, but he could see everything clearly. Even he was not sure he could save Charles' goal.
He knows too well the strength of such a terrifying player.
If possible, he hopes not to be his opponent in this life.
"Valdes, long time no see."
Ciel smiled and held out his hand.
The Barcelona goalkeeper felt the force of the egg yolk pie ribbon on his arm and finally passed his hand over.
"Long time no see, Ciel."
