Chapter 482
Sunday.
Li Shiguang led the team to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea away.
In fact, this 34th round of the league against Chelsea was a difficult decision for Li Shiguang.
Three days later is the Champions League semi-final.
At that time, Leeds United will return to Elland Road and play another game with Chelsea.
From Grant's perspective, today's league game is not that important.
This is also Liverpool's fault.
They were tied by their opponents in the game against Blackburn yesterday and only got one point.
As a result, even if Chelsea lost the game today, they can still maintain the fourth place in the standings.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Grant chose to give up the league and focus on the Champions League that boss Abrahimovic has been thinking about!
But Li Shiguang can't do it.
Manchester United won Arsenal 2:1 yesterday and has climbed to the top of the standings.
Today's game is a must for Leeds United.
So there are big differences between the two teams in terms of deployment.
On the Leeds United side, Li Shiguang's lineup was almost the same as the last game, the only difference was that Adriano was excluded from the roster, allowing him to conserve his energy for the game three days later.
Grant did the opposite of Li Shiguang, letting most of the main players sit on the bench and sending a group of substitutes to fight.
There was naturally no suspense in this obviously unequal game.
In the 89th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic's goal helped Leeds United lead 3:0, and also announced that the game was completely killed.
The Blues fans in the stands of Stamford Bridge also understood.
Knowing that Grant arranged the troops in this way for the Champions League semi-final three days later, when Chelsea lost the game, they did not stand in the stands and curse as before.
Instead, when Li Shiguang and the Leeds United players left the field.
They were attacked indiscriminately by Chelsea fans sitting above the player channel.
In addition to verbal greetings, a few fans even threw empty mineral water bottles at Leeds United players.
This action completely angered Simeone and Ibrahimovic, who were always hot-tempered.
The two grabbed the cones placed next to the player's tunnel and rushed to the stands, ready to fight with the Chelsea fans who threw bottles.
"Boss, if you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have beaten that idiot's head to pieces!"
In the player's tunnel, Simeone's face was still angry.
Just now, he and Ibrahimovic were about to step onto the stands, but they were pulled back by Li Shiguang and Rivaldo.
Now he was standing in front of Li Shiguang, blowing his beard and glaring.
"You still want to be a head coach in this state!?" Li Shiguang rolled his eyes at the angry Simeone, "Things on the football field should be resolved on the football field. Have you forgotten how I fought back against those fans in Lyon last time?"
Simone punched the wall and muttered, "But Chelsea is better than Lyon, and we can't beat them 7:2..."
"Okay, it doesn't have to be 7:2!" Li Shiguang smiled and patted Simeone on the shoulder, "Chelsea only has the Champions League this season. Poking their thoughts with your own hands may be more soul-striking than slaughtering them by a large score!"
"That's right!"
Seeing that Simeone wanted to say something, Li Shiguang quickly interrupted the Argentine's mumbling and smiled slightly: "Tell Ferreira that after the press conference, let him take the players back first, and you accompany me to go somewhere!"
Where is there a good place to go in London?
Simeone was a little confused, but he didn't ask much, just nodded and replied: "Okay..."
····
When they came out of Stamford Bridge.
Simeone and Li Shiguang had changed their clothes, and they had put on baseball caps and masks on their heads and faces.
"Boss, why do I feel that the place you are taking me to is not a good place..."
"Well, I recently met a smuggler, and I am going to take you to sell."
"Fuck!? Are you kidding!?"
"You also know that I am kidding?"
The two quarreled for a few words and soon walked to the parking lot.
After turning around.
The two walked to a Mercedes-Benz.
Simeone looked at the familiar Mercedes-Benz in front of him, and the whole person was confused, "Hey... Boss, this seems to be the car I bought for Carolina to send the children to school!? Mine, no, Carolina's car... shouldn't it be at home!?"
Li Shiguang ignored Simeone who was in a state of confusion.
Pointed to the co-pilot.
He opened the door and got into the back seat.
Li Shiguang had just gotten into the car.
Sitting in the driver's seat, AiLun turned around and nodded to Li Shiguang: "Boss."
Simone, who got into the car from the passenger seat, also saw Allen and was surprised: "What the hell!? Allen!? When did you come to London!? Carolina's car, why are you driving it!?"
"Keep your voice down." Li Shiguang patted Simone lightly, signaling him to shut up, and then looked at Allen, "Let's go, have you made an appointment?"
"Yes, we have made an appointment." Allen started the car, "They are waiting for us in a very private restaurant in the suburbs of London."
····
The car drove out of the parking lot and drove onto the road.
Simeone couldn't help it after all, and turned his head to look at Li Shiguang: "Boss, what's going on!?"
Li Shiguang smiled: "Diego, I called Carolina and asked her to lend the car to Allen today. Do you remember the right back that Chelsea bought during the winter transfer window when we talked in the office?"
"Right back?" Simeone frowned and thought for two seconds, then said, "Ah! There is such a person, it seems to be the young man that Chelsea bought from Lokomotiv Moscow during the winter transfer window? What's his name... I suddenly can't remember it."
"Branislav Ivanovich!" Allen, who was holding the steering wheel, gave a timely reminder.
"Ah! Yes! It's him, Ivanovic!" Simeone suddenly realized, "Boss, are we going to meet him?"
"Yes." Li Shiguang rubbed his temple and nodded gently, "Alan has been paying attention to this player. Since joining Chelsea, Grant has never given him any chance. The Serbian has only played two games for Chelsea's reserve team."
"Huh?!" Simeone was a little surprised, "Boss, I remember you said this kid is very fierce and a versatile backcourt player. Why doesn't Grant give him a chance?"
"How do I know what Grant thinks?"
Li Shiguang complained about Grant, and then a familiar smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"And I don't care about his thoughts. At the end of last month, Alan reached an agreement with Ivanovic's agent in private, so we made an appointment today to meet in the suburbs of London. As for why we use your car, I believe you know better than me."
"Aren't you upset because you were scolded by Chelsea fans? Today, let's go dig into their people first and let you collect some interest!"
