All his efforts were in vain, and the prince could clearly see the undisguised frustration on Cole's face in the stands.
The prince also did not expect that the first game he watched with his new club would be such a dramatic draw. You must know that the points gap between Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, which only scored 1 point in this game, would widen to 7 points.
and 6 points. For a team that aims to win the championship, although its hopes are not completely shattered, it is still a big gap that cannot be easily crossed.
The club respected the player's wishes and did not arrange a special press conference for the prince. It only made an announcement on the official website about the prince's transfer to Chelsea. The reason for this arrangement is that the prince has not yet made a good relationship with England.
When it comes to psychological preparation for dealing with the media, you must know that the English football media are notoriously sharp in the world and cannot be messed with by ordinary people. For the sake of your own development in England, it is better to stay away from these media for the time being.
Chelsea had a holiday the next day. Only some reserve team players were training in the training base. Only Drogba was training in the first-team venue. He had a slight injury before and was not included in the squad for the last game. Now he can only train by himself.
Find the status as soon as possible.
"Hi, Jose, hello, welcome to Chelsea, just call me Didier. You know, I have been looking forward to fighting alongside you for a long time. Your assists are very arrogant. In the game
You have to pass the ball to me more. Although my ability to seize opportunities is not particularly strong, I still hold the title of the best center in the world. If you give me an assist, I will buy you a drink, how about it?"
After Drogba saw the prince, he came up to greet him enthusiastically. The Ivorian is a very enthusiastic person, so his attitude is naturally not artificial, and for a center, it is really difficult to resist the temptation of the prince's assists. At present, Europe's
The assist king is no joke.
"Hello, I'm very happy to play football with you. I have admired the power of the African Elephant King for a long time. Haha, don't worry, I will definitely give you assists in the game. As long as you can kick the ball
"Going in, being the top scorer or something is really not a big deal." The prince seemed a little arrogant, but he still couldn't be too humble in front of his new teammates, as this is not popular among Europeans.
The two silly people started extra training in the empty training base. After warming up, the prince began to feed him the ball. Drogba only had to grab the spot in front of the goal and send the prince's pass into the goal. Of course, now he
His skills have basically been finalized, and the main purpose of practice is to maintain his condition for the game. In fact, Drogba's skills are not particularly rough. Although there is a certain gap between him and the top technical forwards, they are still sufficient.
Coupled with his tank-like body, ordinary defenders can't get close at all. And now that he is at the peak of his career, as long as his condition is good, he can completely crush all defenders.
"José, let's go to a bar later. You were quite bored when you first arrived. There must be nothing to do at night. How about I take you to the best bar? I believe you will fall in love there."
Drogba is suspected of abducting Little Red Riding Hood. This guy is very strictly controlled by his wife. Even though he looks like a tall and thick man like Zhang Fei, he still can't escape the fate of being strictly controlled by his wife. He usually doesn't have the opportunity to go out and be unrestrained.
It's easy to find an excuse, so of course I won't let it go easily.
"Forget it, Didier, I just came from China and I haven't recovered from the jet lag yet. I have been training for such a long time today. It's better to go home and rest. Don't you still have to pick up the children and go home from school? You are not a good father.
It's so easy." The prince still politely rejected Drogba's proposal. It's better to go to such places less often. The paparazzi in England are almost pervasive. If he is photographed clubbing, then tomorrow the media in England will
There will be extensive reports on the Spanish star's nightclub fun, and even a photo of him having a party with a well-known model or a page 3 girl. The prince does not want such a thing to happen just after he comes to England.
The prince didn’t have a car yet, so Drogba sent him home first and then picked up the children. The prince now lives in a villa rented by the team for him, which is very close to the training base. This is much better than when he lived in Frankfurt.
The apartment conditions are much better, the treatment of stars and ordinary players is different, and the gap between top giants and ordinary teams is also obvious.
