We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 170 Mourinho slides on his knees to pay tribute to Robben. Was Palermo mismanaged in the knockout round?
In the 44th minute, Robben faced Valencia's defense and changed direction continuously to pass through.

Although Valencia is fast and flexible, they cannot withstand Robben's superb dribbling skills.

boom!
Robben sent in a cross.

Drogba jumped high, but unfortunately it was too high.

The game then entered the halftime break.

This kind of high-level top-level offense and defense may not result in many goals, but it is extremely exhausting for both sides.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 51st minute, Carvalho intercepted the ball and sent a long pass to Robben.

Terry's later excellent passing ability was influenced by Carvalho.

The significance of being a partner on the court is not only about complementing each other, but also about learning from each other.

So even though some veteran players may not be top-notch in terms of personal ability, or have never been top-notch, their ability to train apprentices is really strong.

A good winger can bring out a group of young wingers.

A good central defender can lead a group of defensive backbones.

A good midfielder can bring out a lot of team cornerstones.

Robben took two steps forward with the ball and then made a diagonal pass to Lampard.

Lampard made a straight pass from outside the arc, breaking through the defense of Vidic and Thiago Silva.

Drogba ran towards the ball in the penalty area and Barzagli was in a confrontation.

Fortunately, Van der Sar acted in time and caught the ball.

Drogba was a little confused because old Den didn't play much when he was at Fulham last year.

Why is it that this year when we came to Palermo, the range of attack is so large?

Aren’t you afraid of making mistakes?

Van der Sar had experienced too many similar cognitive shocks when he first joined Palermo.

In He Tianqi's tactical planning, the goalkeeper's coverage range is very wide.

The traditional goalkeeper's range of activities is basically within the small penalty area.

Maybe I will choose to attack when I am alone.

At that time, "chuji" and "single sword" were basically a corresponding set of words.

But in Palermo, the goalkeeper's activities are not even limited to the penalty area.

Handanovic, who has completely accepted Palermo's transformation, often runs out of the penalty area to pass the ball.

The advantage is that it will not give the opponent any chance to threaten the goal and many dangers can be resolved in advance.

Therefore, after winning the Champions League, UEFA Cup, Treble, Quintuplet and other honors with Palermo, Handanovic's personal reputation still did not soar.

His personal ranking is far lower than Chelsea's Cech.

Perhaps Cech is indeed better at saving shots.

But in terms of the overall role of the team's defense, Handanovic should be stronger than Cech at this stage.

However, Handanovic is young, has a strong learning ability, and his thinking is not rigid, so he can successfully transform into a "modern goalkeeper."

It's difficult for Van der Sar, it's almost impossible for him to transform.

However, people with ability don't need to start all over again and deny themselves.

By learning from your strengths and overcoming your weaknesses and improving yourself, you can already make a name for yourself in this world.

Without changing his core skills, Van der Sar expanded his range of activities and tried to participate in the defense system by passing the ball with his feet, helping the team to resolve general levels of pressing.

He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was very steady.

Similarly, Drogba also exposed his current shortcomings in shooting in this attack.

Not to mention whether his shooting skills are among the top five in the world, the fact that he accumulates energy while running and prepares for a powerful shot, rather than speeding up his pace to get close to the ball and then shoot to create a time difference, shows that Drogba is relatively "backward" in this regard.

In a truly top-level offense and defense, most of the time the offensive players will not have a good environment to attack the goal.

Things like accumulating power, adjusting angles, and 100% perfect shots...none of those exist.

The opportunity is just in that 0.25 seconds. If you can shoot, you have it. If you can't shoot, it will be gone forever.

In the 55th minute, Thiago Silva and Drogba competed for the header. Vidic took the ball and passed it straight to Modric who came back to receive it.

Modric pretended to receive the ball but did not actually touch it, fooling Lampard who was about to attack him, leaving him empty-handed.

boom!
Modric dribbled the ball forward and made a lob pass at the right time.

Ribery cut inside without the ball, broke into the penalty area, stopped the ball perfectly and then made a lob shot, allowing Cech to watch the ball go into the net.

Unfortunately, the linesman raised the flag.

Ribery was offside and the goal was invalid.

Ferreira pulled Ribery, delaying his start.

But Mourinho was not satisfied with Ferreira's defense.

He thought Ferreira was too slow and couldn't keep up with Ribery.

Although it was offside this time, what about next time?

Even though Modric played badly, he was very good at passing the ball forward, so we couldn't give them any chances.

Mourinho made a decisive substitution.

Ferreira was replaced by Spanish international Del Horno.

Compared to Ferreira who is good at defense but not offense, Horno has stronger speed and assist ability.

Mourinho's substitution this time not only targeted Ribery, but also strengthened the team's overall offense, which can be called a textbook adjustment.

This is something many old-school head coaches need to learn.

In the 63rd minute, Terry successfully intercepted Toure's through pass and passed it to Robben, trying to launch a counterattack.

Valencia knocked Robben down in the first moment, but his position was too forward. If Robben used his skills to pass him, there would be a smooth road behind him, which was too dangerous.

The referee showed Valencia a yellow card.

Then He Tianqi also started to replace people.

Zaccardo replaced Valencia who received a card.

Valencia played very well today.

But Robben had already broken his defense, so it was up to Zaccardo to defend alone.

In the 67th minute, Grosso's cross was caught by Cech, who threw the ball to Lampard.

Chelsea counterattacked again.

Zaccardo fought and retreated, keeping a close eye on Robben.

Lampard could only pass the ball long to Duff on the right.

After Grosso came on, there was space in front of Duff.

Thiago Silva filled in the position immediately, but he was a central defender after all, and was worried about being cut inside by Dave, so he didn't dare to rush too hard.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy, it can even be said to be very mature.

If you rush forward and get passed, Vidic will have to come out to make up for the deficit, which means Barzagli has to defend two players alone in the penalty area.

If you don't rush forward, the opponent can only pass the ball. With two people defending two in the penalty area, Palermo's air defense is still very reliable.

As expected, Duff accelerated the ball, went down the line resolutely, and then sent a cross.

In the penalty area, Drogba and Vidic collided violently, and Vidic was knocked over by Drogba without noticing.

Drogba barely jumped up and headed the ball.

The football flew past Van der Sar's fingertips and into the goal.

"GOAL! Two to two!"

"Chelsea equalized!"

"Drogba again! He scored twice!"

"A demon beast suddenly appeared and attacked the Eastern European giant!"

"The world's best center is still unknown!"

Drogba did not celebrate, but actively fished the ball out of the goal.

Because if they end with this score, they will be ranked second in the group with a one-point advantage over Palermo.

They have to get all three points.

On the sidelines, Mourinho didn't have the chance to perform his slide celebration because it was not the right time yet.

He took two players and had to make substitutions.

The last time we made a substitution, the effect was immediate.

This time Mourinho directly replaced both wingers.

Shaun Wright replaces Duff.

Carlton Cole replaces Robben.

These are two regular substitutions.

Carlton Cole is Chelsea's new signing this season, but his strength is somewhat inferior to the other three wingers.

He has Nigerian ancestry, but after being rejected by the Nigerian national team, he chose to join the England U21 and will become an England adult international in the future.

But he is also called "the weakest Cole" by fans.

Because his subsequent national team and club teammates, Joe Cole and Ashley Cole, were much better than him.

This substitution shows Mourinho's positioning of wingers.

Consumables.

In fact, a wingers of Robben’s caliber can be left on the field even when not used.

Some people only saw his physical exhaustion, but in fact the physical energy he consumed not only created crises time and time again, but also left a deep impression on the defensive players, thus becoming a deterrent.

His tactical role may be greater than that of a sluggish fast horse with plenty of physical strength.

Moreover, this kind of super player can take a ten-minute walk and have a moment of highlight to decide the outcome of the game.

In the 73rd minute, Grosso brought down Shaun Wright on the wing and was given a yellow card.

In the 75th minute, He Tianqi also replaced two players.

Ashley Young replaced Grosso.

Van Persie replaced Toni, who was exhausted in this game.

In this way, the frontcourt is full of fast horses, which means that Palermo will have to play a defensive counterattack next.

In the 79th minute, Modric hit the wall and Toure avoided the pressure and then made a straight pass.

Van Persie had just come on the pitch and hadn't found his footing yet. His first touch was too big and Terry seized the opportunity to make a flying tackle to destroy the ball.

Van Persie gave Modric a thumbs up.

In the 81st minute, Modric habitually faked his opponent after receiving the ball, but Essien, who was facing him, suddenly made a steal.

Modric himself was unable to adjust his center of gravity.

Watched Essien complete the steal.

From the fans' perspective, Modric took the initiative to approach Essien and then "passed" the ball to Essien.

Chelsea fans were dumbfounded.

Palermo fans are not surprised.

Otherwise, why is Modric called a ball thief even though he has such impressive stats?
Why have no wealthy families favored him?

You can't deny that Modric's passes are extremely threatening.

But many of his things are not valid in the eyes of professional scouts.

Many top clubs have sent expert teams to study Modric and prepare to introduce him, but the result is that they all do not recommend buying him.

"My skills are unstable. I can dribble like a king, but I can also slip on the ball like an amateur!"

This is related to the fact that he is always paying attention to changes in other areas of the court.

Multi-tasking, great ambition but little talent.

"He handles the ball too casually, which can easily cause trouble for the team's defense, but his position in the team is too high and no one dares to remind him of this."

"The tactical position is too high and the degree of freedom is too great, so it may not be able to adapt to the relatively standardized tactical requirements of other teams."

and many more.

After Essien intercepted the ball, he dribbled forward. Facing Motta's defense, he was able to dribble the ball and change direction to pass the opponent.

boom!
Essien made a through ball.

Shaun Wright cut inside without the ball, used his speed to eat Thiago Silva and break into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, he immediately shot and completed the goal from a small angle.

At such a close distance, Van der Sar could only stretch out his hand and rely on luck to catch the ball.

As a result, Sicily today is more favorable to Chelsea.

"GOAL! 3-2! Chelsea takes the lead again!"

"Shaun Wright came on as a substitute and scored!"

"Mourinho's substitutions are amazing!"

"In comparison, He Tianqi's substitution was not good. Ashley Young obviously did not keep an eye on Shaun Wright, a player whose defensive attributes are not strong."

"It's hard to imagine that He Tianqi would put a player who can complete a hat trick at full-back. It's really a bit of a waste of talent."

"Some Manchester United fans are asking the team to pack Ashley Young and Valencia, the wingers, to take over from Giggs and replace Ronaldo, who is not very satisfied with everyone."

"If the current score ends, Chelsea will reverse Palermo and win first place in the group!"

"Of course, the biggest problem in this goal loss is Modric. He Tianqi should have replaced Modric with Shelu or Viana."

"I don't know why these two players are in such good form right now, but they don't get many opportunities in important tournaments."

"He Tianqi is still too rigid!"

"I can't think of a reason not to take Modric off, other than Modric saved his life."

Afterwards, the commentator posted the evidence.

In the past three years, the player with the highest starting rate and playing time in Palermo is not Ribery, the "Ballon Ball winner and runner-up to the FIFA World Player of the Year."

Nor is it defensive mainstay Vidic.

Not even Toni, Grosso and the like.

It's Modric.

Even if it is a rotation, He Tianqi will most likely send Modric.

As long as you never die, use it to death.

According to insiders, Modric will receive more appearance allowances in this way.

After Shaun Wright scored the goal, he rushed to Mourinho on the sidelines to thank the head coach.

Mourinho knew his time to shine had come.

He ran up the sidelines and then slid to celebrate!
It's a pity that he was wearing trousers.

The grass, pants, and skin rubbed against each other and couldn't slide at all.

The next moment, Mourinho's trouser legs were rolled up, and then his whole body braked suddenly, and inertia pushed him forward to the ground and rolled.

It's a bit like a child performing a "kneeling jump" on a trampoline.

It's just that kids on a trampoline can bounce up.

Mourinho could only fall to the ground.

Chelsea's celebration came to an abrupt end.

The players who had rushed over to celebrate left and then rushed over to rescue the head coach.

After Mourinho was lifted up by everyone, his expression was extremely painful. There were holes at the knees of his trousers and his knees were bleeding from the friction.

The feeling of this kind of wound from abrasion is really painful.

The players and fans of Palermo were originally indignant because they were unhappy about losing the ball.

As a result, when they saw Mourinho's celebration performance, they couldn't help laughing.

Even He Tianqi, who has a serious competitive personality, immediately put his hand on his chin to prevent himself from laughing.

But later on there was really no other way, as if I kept pulling my chin against my face it would tear.

I can only let go, let a smile creep onto my cheeks, and let out a hearty laugh.

Guardiola, who knew Mourinho was practicing his celebration, laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. Jose, is this the celebration you're going to use to challenge He Tianqi? How about you give me some tips and I'll teach you the full Palermo celebration tutorial?
On the Chelsea bench, Duff looked at Robben and asked: "Is this how you teach your boss to slide on his knees?"

Robben nodded awkwardly.

DAFF: "You don't feel any pain in your knees after celebrating like that? Do you have strong knees?"

Robben shook his head: "I don't know, but a few days later I was hospitalized because of a torn knee ligament."

DAFU: ...

Then the game resumed.

All Chelsea players retreated and started parking the bus.

They have extensive experience in defending against counterattacks at the last minute.

In the 85th minute, Palermo made more than 20 consecutive passes but failed to find Chelsea's flaws.

Finally, Modric made a cross pass and Motta tried a long shot, but it was saved by Cech.

This level of attack could not break through the goal guarded by Cech.

In the 88th minute, Toure made a long pass from the right to find Ribery on the left.

After receiving the ball, Ribery pretended to break through to attract attention before passing the ball back to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young made a long shot from outside the left side of the penalty area, which is the famous "Ashley Young area".

Unfortunately, the ball was not pressed down and went slightly over the crossbar.

In the 91st minute, the game was about to end.

Motta could only make a long pass into the penalty area to find Yaya Toure to see if there was any chance.

Carvalho got a header and got a point.

Gudjohnsen kicked the ball away with his big foot.

However, influenced by Ribery, football can only reach high but not far.

Outside the penalty area, Modric met the football that fell from the sky and kicked it...

Lampard rushed out immediately, trying to block Modric's long shot.

However, Modric did not take a long shot, it was a... lob pass!
The football flew high, passed Lampard who was close at hand, and once again entered the penalty area, then turned sharply down.

In the penalty area, most of the players from both teams were near the penalty spot. Because the ball was being cleared, many people went outside to prepare to participate in grabbing the ball, catching the ball, etc.

Modric then passed the ball into the small penalty area.

Almost no player could reach the ball.

No matter how fast you go, it won't work.

Unless you have wings!

boom!
Van Persie leaped forward and threw himself into the air.

He has no wings, but he is flying!
Swish!
The football fell into the net.

Facing the flying Dutchman, Cech was powerless.

The next moment, the Frederick II Stadium exploded instantly.

"GOAL!!!"

“Three to three!”

"Equalized! Van Persie, who came on as a substitute, equalized with a header for Chelsea!"

"At this moment, we saw the Flying Dutchman!"

"We have found the answer to who is the most popular Dutch swan!"

"Robben is sharp but his attack is unconventional. Van Persie's one-shot kill is the Dutch orthodoxy!"

"Who said He Tianqi's substitutions are not as good as Mourinho's?"

"His use of Robin van Persie was absolutely brilliant!"

"Modric redeemed himself, his assists were crucial!"

"Oh! He Tianqi excitedly threw out his signature three farmer's punches. This is the real celebration. Mourinho, open your eyes and learn from him!"

"..."

"Okay, the referee blew the whistle to end the game! Three to three, this is a winning draw!"

"Congratulations to Palermo, who once again qualified as group leader, beating Chelsea by one point."

"I say again because last season, they were also first in the group."

"And the team they were suppressing at the time was also a super power from the Premier League, Manchester United!"

"Palermo's Premier League killer lives up to his reputation!"

……

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Palermo beat Chelsea again, proving that last season's victory was not accidental!"

The Times: "The Premier League killer is still in his element. He Tianqi slid down on his knees and then punched! Mourinho knelt down and begged for mercy but still bled. He went to the hospital after the game!"

Sky Sports: "Palermo's win first doesn't count, Chelsea will also advance if they're second in the group!"

Manchester Evening News: "Valencia and Robben exploded! The Tulip Army found a new generation of flying Dutchman - Van Persie!"

Kicker: "The world's best center forward is still controversial, Drogba is not inferior to Toni! Robben plus Duff is equal to Ribery!"

Turin Sports Daily: "Four of the top five teams in Serie A have made it to the Champions League knockout stage! Roma suffered a disastrous defeat, and multiple problems may lead to its disintegration!"

"Roma's financial crisis has exploded, Cassano and Ibrahimovic have become strangers due to the sharp conflict. Totti has taken up a lot of salary space and has become an enemy of the bad boy."

Chelsea were defeated in Sicily again.

Mourinho's Wei team is obviously extremely strong, but they just can't beat Shu.

The main reason is that they have both the talented people, Wolong and Fengchu, which makes them really difficult to deal with.

Fengchu is...

Guardiola: It’s me!
Wolong is...

Modric: You guessed it right!

Palermo are in the last group of the Champions League. After their game, the top 16 of this year's Champions League will be decided.

The ending is unexpected.

Of the top five teams in Serie A, four have emerged: AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan and Palermo.

There are three teams in La Liga: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal.

Two seats in the Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Two seats in the Bundesliga, Bayern and Werder Bremen.

Two seats in the Eredivisie, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.

Benfica from the Portuguese Super League, Lyon from Ligue 1, and Glasgow Rangers from the Scottish Premier League.

Combined with last year's Champions League semi-finals, three Serie A teams and champion Palermo.

The champion AC Milan two years ago.

What is Champions League dominance?

The water is so deep that it is difficult to see the bottom, and the tiger will not be defeated even if it dies.

Although the world's top league has changed hands, La Liga and the Premier League have not yet successfully taken the top spot.

Compared to the dark horse years of the Champions League the year before and last year.

This year's Champions League has returned to orthodoxy, with many top clubs advancing.

But some have fallen behind.

For example, Roma was shamefully eliminated with the last place in the group.

After failing to win the championship last season, Roma’s financial situation further deteriorated and finally collapsed.

Cassano's ignorant demand for high salary during this period was the inducement.

In addition, Cassano has completely fallen out with Ibrahimovic and Totti.

He said he would not renew his contract with Roma.

When his contract expires next June, he will leave the team as a free agent.

This forced Roma to find a new club for him during the winter transfer window.

At the moment, it seems almost certain that it will be Real Madrid.

If we say that Roma was eliminated, everyone can still understand it, after all, they have been facing collapse for more than a day or two.

But I'm afraid everyone is surprised by Manchester United's elimination.

And they were eliminated with the last place in the group.

On the one hand, the Glazer family completed the acquisition of Manchester United, which affected the morale of the team.

On the other hand, the team leader Roy Keane is old and his athletic ability has seriously declined, which directly exposes the defense line and causes frequent mistakes.

But Keane's dominance over the team remained, and the team needed to make sacrifices for him, which to a certain extent led to the deformation of Ferguson's tactics.

Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo is still doing fancy dribbling but is not very efficient.

When the team's performance is good, everyone is happy to see you demonstrate your personal abilities, but when the team's performance cannot be maintained, people lose patience with Ronaldinho.

Manchester United fans are generally unwilling to continue waiting for Ronaldo to grow up.

There are growing calls for the American to bring "Valencia + Ashley Young" to Manchester United.

Finally, last year’s Champions League champions Porto also finished last this year and were eliminated.

It fully demonstrates the influence of the head coach on a team of players.

After losing Mourinho, Porto only enjoyed a year of prosperity before their team declined.

Porto: Didn’t you poach all our people?
Soon, the Champions League knockout group was released.

Chelsea, who qualified as the second in the group, encountered a strong opponent and unfortunately drew Barcelona.

Chelsea is the team with the most players nominated for the two major awards this year and the team with the biggest improvement in player rankings.

Barcelona is the winner of this year's grand prize and the real biggest winner.

There is a story between the two.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chelsea will get a feel for Catalan football law in terms of penalties.

Because Abramovich spent a lot of money on the two major awards.

I just want to make Lampard the Ballon d'Or winner or the World Footballer of the Year.

At least give me one.

This will make it easier for him in England.

However, the other party took his money but did not get the job done.

Gave a ranking, but only third place.

After all, Chelsea was defeated by Palermo in the Champions League. Even Ribery couldn't win the Golden Ball in the Champions League, so why should Lampard win it?
On the contrary, Ronaldinho, who had no connection with Palermo, won the award. You can't criticize him because he had no direct conversation with Ribery.

This is also one of the small reasons why Ronaldinho won the award.

In short, after being cheated, Abu got angry and had friction with them.

As a result, the awards and the capital behind them also worked hard.

Cheating you out of your money means they think highly of you, without considering their own identity. Isn't it normal for a refugee to be cheated?
Since ancient times, "relief sheds" and "orphanages" have not been good things.

You are fighting in the front, and I am following behind to build these. Do you really want to do good things?

That's to make money.

I attracted your money to Swiss banks in the name of kindness, relief, freedom and democracy. How I reap the rewards from it next depends on my mood.

And now you still dare to cause trouble?
I’m going to blackmail you to death!

Since we want to defeat Chelsea, of course we can guarantee a spot.

Barcelona's players and fans themselves didn't know that they had already advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Villarreal drew a big gift package and will play against Glasgow Rangers.

Arsenal’s opponent is not strong either, Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

Bayern plays against PSV Eindhoven.

Inter Milan vs Ajax.

Juventus plays Werder Bremen.

Milan plays Lyon.

Have you noticed that the top teams are basically avoiding each other?

Considering UEFA's plan to return to the "big club Champions League theme", how could this grouping not be manipulated?

But this is a world of competition, or in other words, football also needs a free economy and macro-control.

Completely random grouping is not necessarily exciting.

If the giants are eliminated too early, the ratings and commercial value of the Champions League will decline.

So manipulating the groups is not so dark, it may even be necessary.

The question is whether the same manipulation will occur during competition.

This is a red line.

This is also the biggest difference between the two NBA commissioners, Stern and Silver.

However, although group manipulation is reasonable from the perspective of the development of things, sometimes some groups are quite disgusting.

It was unfortunate for Lyon to meet AC Milan as the group leader.

Why can't they meet Glasgow Rangers, PSV Eindhoven, Benfica, Ajax and Werder Bremen?
They finally defeated Real Madrid and climbed to the first place, but ended up playing against Milan, which was at its peak in the past two years.

Lyon shut himself off.

Similarly, Palermo fans also became isolated.

Because they were also first in the group and had finally defeated Chelsea, they hadn't been able to meet so many weak teams before, but they unexpectedly drew the top team in football, Real Madrid!
Do you dare to say this is a coincidence?
That's right!

Palermo will meet Real Madrid again in the quarter-finals!
The last galactic battleship is back and attacks the earth again to fight against the pink miracle!

As soon as the group was released, the two most aggressive head coaches in Europe were sanctioned.

Now you know what you should and shouldn't say, and how to obey the game and the referee, right?

Mourinho was the first to question the fairness of the draw.

Mourinho: "It's not a bad grouping, we have confidence we can beat Barcelona if they only have eleven men on the pitch."

Barcelona coach Rijkaard responded positively: "I know what Mourinho means, but Barcelona has always had only eleven players on the field."

"We will defeat our opponents with strength, that's all."

"In fact, Mourinho was also an assistant coach at Barcelona. He should face up to the strength of Barcelona."

Mourinho quipped: "Because I have been there, I know that the football there is not pure. People criticize me and Chelsea, saying that the football here is mixed with money."

"But Barcelona's football is mixed with more things, money, blood, ethnicity, religion, politics..."

Mourinho's words triggered a strong backlash in the Jiatai region.

People use the most vicious language to attack Mourinho, because lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

This region has been planning for independence and may even launch a referendum on independence in the future, with the initiators then being arrested for treason.

In 2024, our ambassador to France, Lu, stated that Catalonia is to Spain as Corsica is to France, and he hopes that the outside world will not interfere.

On the other hand, people thought that Apocalypse would also explode.

Unexpectedly, He Tianqi, who is even more arrogant than Mourinho, actually praised UEFA's grouping work this time.

He Tianqi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I approve of UEFA's work in grouping the Champions League and hope they will keep up the good work. Real Madrid is a very difficult team to deal with, but fortunately we have the experience to fight against them and succeed."

"As the defending champions, we are confident that we can meet any challenge."

There is nothing wrong with what you said.

It can be said to be neither humble nor arrogant.

This also reflects He Tianqi's maturity.

Otherwise, he could have just said, thank you UEFA for sending the silver medal! Real Madrid is now the 16th place in the Champions League. They can't even beat Lyon this year, how can they play against us Palermo?
Real Madrid fans these days will definitely not be able to bear this.

The key is that I’m afraid UEFA can’t stand it.

But He Tianqi wanted to keep a low profile, but someone didn't allow him to...

[PS: Thank you for the tips, I will update tomorrow night to keep you company. You can watch the game and read the novel, and read the novel and watch the game! ]
