On the way back to the room, Chang Ming and Long Yu walked at the end.

Long Yu looked at Chang Ming up and down for a long time.

Chang Ming: "What's wrong with you?"

Long Yu: "What's wrong with you?"

Chang Ming: "Repeater, you."

Long Yu: "I think you have changed today."

Chang Ming: "Huh?"

Chang Ming opened the door, and Long Yu followed him into the room. They were in the same room.

Long Yu leaned against the window, looked at Barcelona outside the window, and then looked back at Chang Ming.

"Da Ming, I always have a feeling that you have a special relationship with the city of Barcelona.

"We have been together for many years and have traveled to many cities together.

“I won’t talk about domestic issues, but let’s talk about overseas countries.

"In Buenos Aires, you are like a free knight.

"You have no intention of staying there, your goal from the first day is to level up and return to Barcelona as soon as possible.

"During the year you played in the A-League, you learned a lot from Riquelme and Palermo, and your skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

"They also have a good relationship with Squirrel and Pikachu.

"However, you never belong to that city.

“Now we are in Milan, we were rivals in the same city at first, but now we are all wearing red and black shirts.

"You are the vice-captain here, and I can feel that you are willing to stay here.

"But, I think your more emotion towards Milan is responsibility and gratitude.

"Milan gives you the opportunity to achieve your football goals and you are willing to do your best for this team.

"But at Barcelona you are different.

"From the first time I came here in the winter of 2009, I discovered that you really love Barcelona.

"Not just this team, but this city, and so many incredibly important people.

"I doubt now that if Barcelona really offers you an olive branch, you will definitely be shaken!

“Even if I don’t transfer, I will still have some turmoil in my heart, I’m sure of it!

"And those words you just said are things you have never said before.

"Yes, Barcelona has a lot of talent, even without Xavi, they are still extremely powerful.

"Even if you were asked to take over Xavi's position and become Barcelona's organizing midfielder,

"You are also very confident that you can support Barcelona's midfield!

"That's absolutely true!

"You said something to me before,

"You said that my football world is full of victories and conquests.

"And you prefer to stick to your own football and play the style you like.

"You have no opponents and no need to prove.

"But, except for Barcelona.

"Here you have opponents and you have to prove it.

"Prove that you deserve to stay at Barcelona and prove that their original choice was wrong.

"These stubbornness are the real you."

Long Yu spoke for a long time, while Chang Ming listened patiently.

In the meantime, he poured some water for Long Yu. Long Yu drank it in one go and then continued to talk.

After a long time, I finished talking.

Long Yu turned to look out the window. It was very quiet downstairs in the hotel.

But the streets in the distance looked busy and very prosperous.

"Barcelona, ​​it's a nice city." Long Yu stretched out and clenched his fists.

"However, I will step on them hard today and let them know how sad it is to lose a world-class midfield talent."

Seeing Long Yu's indignant expression, Chang Ming smiled.

"Xiaolong, you are right, I really have feelings for Barcelona.

"Facing them, I also admit that I do want to prove it.

"Until now, I think I deserve to be in Barcelona's starting lineup.

"Or, at least, a rotating midfielder.

"Even if it's not as good as Xavi and Iniesta, I think it's definitely not inferior to Cesc Fabregas.

"But unfortunately, I am not a Spanish player.

“So the issue of household registration is inherently at a disadvantage.

"But it doesn't matter, I am very happy in Milan now, I like it here very much.

"Although Xavi and Pedro are injured in this game, we will still go all out to defeat them!"

An hour and a half later, Allegri appeared in the hotel's press conference hall.

There was only one player sitting next to him, Chang Ming.

Looking at the crowd of reporters in the audience, Allegri shook his head at Chang Ming a little apologetically.

"I'm sorry to take up your rest time for a while. Since Barcelona players have been absent, my and the coaching staff's mobile phones have been almost exploded, so this pre-match press conference has to be advanced to save trouble."

Chang Ming smiled slightly: "I can understand, coach. When reporters ask questions later, what do you need me to say?"

Allegri thought for a while: "Be polite and well-educated, but be like the captain of Milan."

Chang Ming nodded vigorously.

no problem.

The pre-match press conference began with Allegri first introducing the situation in Milan today.

The starting lineup was almost the same as the previous game, except that Boateng sat on the bench and De Jong started.

But reporters don't care about that, they are looking forward to other things.

As soon as Allegri finished speaking, a wave of reporters rushed over after the kick.

"Coach Allegri, Xavi and Pedro were unable to play. Milan should have taken a big advantage in this game."

"With Barcelona not playing Xavi, do Milan's tactics need to be adjusted?"

"Will Ming still play defensive midfielder in this game?"

…

Questions came one after another, but Allegri's expression remained calm.

When asked, his answers were very official.

Who the opponent plays has nothing to do with Milan's tactics, we still play according to our own style.

However, reporters were not satisfied with this diplomatic rhetoric.

Spanish journalists, in particular, quickly targeted Chang Ming.

"Ming, when you return to Barcelona, ​​will you show mercy to your old club?"

"Ming, in this game do you want to prove that Barcelona made a mistake in giving up on you?"

"Ming, if Milan wins this game, won't it be a less magnanimous victory?"

Facing reporters' questions, Allegri frowned and looked at Chang Ming.

Chang Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Pulling up the microphone, Chang Ming cleared his throat. The audience immediately fell silent and listened carefully to Chang Ming's answers to reporters' questions.

"Guys, long time no see."

This opening statement made many reporters in the audience smile.

Yes, a few years ago Chang Ming was the captain of Barcelona's youth teams at all levels, and they had not dealt with Chang Ming once or twice.

We met again today, and I felt even more cordial when I heard Chang Ming speak Spanish proficiently.

Several reporters even murmured under their breath.

"Aren't the questions we just asked too sharp?"

"It seems a little bit, Ming won't be able to answer it, right?"

"If Ming's answer is not smooth after a while, let's help him make up for it."

"good!"

No matter when and where, a well-meaning and good connection is extremely powerful.
