It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 138 136 Barcelona's future cannot be denied

The game ended with a score of 0:2, but when the players from both sides returned to the tunnel, a fierce conflict broke out again.

When Mourinho and Guardiola walked into the player tunnel, all the Barcelona players and most of the Inter Milan players scattered, leaving only Motta standing there with a piece of pizza on his head.

"You..." Mourinho had just said one word when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He covered his stomach and ran straight to the toilet.

Guardiola was confused and walked into the locker room, scratching his head.

"Abidal, you will come with me to the press conference later."

"Okay, boss," Abidal quickly wiped his hands and followed Guardiola to the press conference.

Guardiola had just sat down and hadn't adjusted the microphone when he saw Faria walking over angrily and sitting next to Guardiola.

Before Guardiola could be surprised, the reporters in the audience were already talking in rapid succession like hyenas seeing their prey.

"Faria, why didn't Mourinho come to the post-match press conference?"

"Pep, it is said that in the tunnel after the game, there was a violent conflict between Barcelona and Inter players and a pizza was thrown at Thiago Motta. Is this true?"

"Mr. Guardiola, does Charles's injury again mean that your 'magic burger' plan has failed?"

"Faria, what do you think about today's failure?"

Faria slammed the table angrily and stood up. "This is not a reasonable game! Our player Motta did have a piece of pizza thrown on his head for no reason in the player tunnel. It was a pineapple pizza."

"Besides that, as to why it was me and not Jose who came today, the reason is very simple, that is because of my neighbor, the Barcelona villain, and his 'Magic Burger' project."

The audience was in an uproar.

Guardiola looked at Faria in disbelief.

"What? Something's wrong with my burger?"

"It's fine that you threw pizza at our players, but you also fed Jose a defective burger," Faria interrupted Guardiola. "You sinister villain, Charles' injury is your excuse. You may even have caused his injury."

Guardiola was speechless for a moment, and Abidal stood up without showing any weakness, "So why did our Hamburger end up in Mourinho's hands?"

"Football is football, not a game of fouls," Abidal said, changing the subject. "Shouldn't we focus on your foul on Charles?"

"This is your home ground. You have the final say on what's going on. You have the final say on what's going on. Humph..."

There were constant flashes of light off the court.

"Beep--"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Guardiola pull out a mobile phone from his pocket and start looking at it.

"First, my players are all kind, united, and loving people."

"Secondly, there is no definite conclusion on the extent of Charles' injury. We had originally found a way to prevent him from getting injured and were planning to implement it during the halftime break, but it was obvious that someone in a blue and black jersey..."

Guardiola choked up as he spoke, and put away the things on the table, "I'm leaving first."

As soon as he saw the head coach leave, Abidal immediately followed him and prepared to leave, but the reporter would never let his prey go like that.

"Eric, let's talk about Motta's foul on Charles."

Abidal said without even turning his head, "There is nothing to talk about. It's just a crime committed by a murderer against an innocent person."

"Justice without force is powerless, and force without justice is tyrannical."

As soon as he walked out of the press conference door, Guardiola immediately opened the text message on his mobile phone, "Where are you?"

As soon as he finished sending it, Guardiola quickly took a pack of paper and walked towards the toilet.

"Beep--"

Guardiola opened his phone and saw, "Here."

"Where is this?" Guardiola frowned and sent the text message.

"Beep--"

Guardiola subconsciously turned on his phone. Before he could open the text message, he heard a suppressed and angry voice not far away:

"Mad, here!"

Guardiola hurried over and handed the toilet paper under the cubicle door.

"José, are you okay?"

The silence in the air was deafening.

Mourinho placed his phone on top of the toilet tank.

After a long silence, Mourinho's response finally came through the door.

"I haven't seen them for so many years. Barcelona's chefs are getting worse and worse."

“So our burgers are really bad?”

"roll."

Guardiola leaned against the door and chuckled, "Then I'll leave."

Suddenly, there was a sound of a cell phone falling to the ground.

"Hey, take me to the hospital first!"

……

The hospital's examination results came out very quickly.

Charles and Charlie had just taken the medical report and were about to take the elevator to leave the hospital, but they unexpectedly looked at each other in bewilderment with Mourinho and Guardiola.

"Uh, Pep, what are you guys doing?"

Guardiola handed Mourinho's wheelchair to the nurse, "He has acute gastroenteritis."

Mourinho turned his head expressionlessly, "What a familiar term, Barcelona's kitchen really needs a careful inspection." Charles looked at Guardiola in disbelief.

During his absence, Mourinho ate in the Barcelona cafeteria?

Is he sending Inter Milan coach back to Barcelona?
Guardiola pushed Charles into the elevator and said, "Let's talk about whether Russ should be fired."

That evening, the entire Barcelona team flew back to Spain.

The next morning, while Charles was still resting with his protective gear, the turmoil in the Champions League decisive battle between hamburgers and pizza was intensifying.

"AS" typeset a picture overnight with Mourinho eating a hamburger on the sidelines and Guardiola holding the hamburger in his arms to keep warm.

"Will you find rat heads in the Barcelona cafeteria? According to internal reports from Barcelona, ​​it's duck heads."

"Asian reporters visited Barcelona and obtained a public inspection copy from the Barcelona Food and Hygiene Authority. Barcelona's canteen failed to get a 5-level rating. Their food health investigation report is as bad as the Maginot Line."

"The staff at the Barcelona cafeteria looked annoyed, the kitchen was dirty and messy, and even the kitchen staff didn't have a sink to wash their hands. They had to go to the restaurant's bathroom to get a seat. Maybe that's why Charles developed a tomato allergy as soon as he joined Barcelona."

"Even from the Charles ink allergy incident, it is not difficult to verify that Barcelona's management is in chaos."

"In yesterday's Champions League match, Mourinho ate a burger thrown by Guardiola and was immediately taken to a Milan hospital for treatment after the game."

"According to a nurse at the Milan hospital, when Mourinho was taken to the hospital, he happened to meet Charles, who said: 'Barcelona's kitchen is just like when he left, it must be checked carefully'."

"Perhaps Guardiola should have fixed Barca's restaurants first, rather than researching the 'magic burger'."

Yesterday's Champions League attracted the attention of the whole world. As the venue of the game, Milan naturally did not forget to report the event.

Gazzetta dello Sport: "Pizzagate reappears? Are Barcelona's players too sensitive and stressed?"

"In addition to foie gras and baguettes, French players may prefer pineapple pizza. After the Champions League group match, a piece of pineapple pizza was thrown accurately on Motta's head when Inter Milan and Barcelona players were fighting in the player tunnel."

"And the owner of this pizza, apart from Fabregas, is most likely Abidal."

"Such violent behavior on the field must be severely punished. Football should convey 'truth, goodness and beauty' to fans, not violence!"

L'Equipe published a picture of Guardiola kneeling down with his head in his hands. Although he was wearing a decent suit, Guardiola looked disheveled.

"It is said that before the game, Guardiola has found a way to keep Charles away from the injury 'curse', which can be used at halftime."

"While it is still unknown whether the method will work, it is hard not to be angry that Charles's hope of complete 'recovery' was shattered just before the halftime break."

"I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light. But just before dawn, when Charles was about to take the last step out of the tunnel, he was pushed into the abyss again."

"Abidal quoted a line from the Meditations: 'Justice without force is powerless, force without justice is tyrannical'."

"FIFA should punish Inter Milan players severely as this sentence says, to prevent the tragedy from happening again."

Mundo Deportivo: "Barcelona's stadium security caught a Real Madrid insider who broke into the stadium kitchen last night."

"Daily Sports": "Although Inter Milan played a steely defense in the game, they still couldn't stop Charles' goal, so they chose to foul. Germany's 'harsh whistle' was powerless on the court and could not enforce justice. Now the executioner of the game has not been severely punished."

It was almost noon when Charles woke up.

Because of his injured nose, Charles had to sleep with a brace on, and then he couldn't sleep at all because of the brace.

Guardiola was not confident that Charles could participate in Barcelona's La Liga match until he recovered from his injury.

Just as Charles was recuperating, Barcelona executives such as Laporta and Begiristain also began to think about how to deal with the difficulties posed by Real Madrid's mouthpiece.

Guardiola specially invited his mentor Cruyff before the meeting started.

"Roos must be fired," Guardiola said solemnly. "If he continues like this, I don't know what the point of arranging a private chef for Charles is. I asked him to prepare tonic soup for the players, but he used unwashed chicken to make soup. I asked him to research a hamburger, but the hamburger he researched gave Mourinho gastroenteritis."

Cruyff nodded. "Barcelona's pests must be cleaned out, and the canteen problem also needs to be solved."

Laporta was a little embarrassed. "The key issue now is that AS slandered our restaurant. If we really fired Russ, wouldn't that verify their words?"

"We can give everyone a tour of our kitchen on the Barcelona Open Day," Guardiola really didn't understand. Barcelona's chefs are not Real Madrid's team doctors, so why can't they be fired?
Begiristain also stood on Laporta's side, "No, we can't fire Rus."

"Well, we can always hire a new chef, right?" Cruyff couldn't stand it any longer. "If we continue like this, we will be the laughing stock of Spain, no, the whole world."

"This," Laporta hesitated, "this is also difficult."

Guardiola clenched his fists, "Why?"

"Alas, we don't have such a big budget," Begiristain sighed, "Real Madrid can be in debt of 5 euros, but we can't do that."

"Although Ibrahimovic is willing to reduce his salary from 1200 million euros to 1100 million euros a year, he is still the highest-paid player in Barcelona, ​​which violates our basic rules," Laporta had to confess. "The best players must get the highest salary in the locker room."

"Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta... the salary increases for the players have taken up a lot of our budget. Now Charles and Messi's salaries must also increase, and they must exceed Ibrahimovic's in order to maintain our dressing room salary structure."

Cruyff closed his eyes and sighed.

Laporta also said, "Real Madrid is now ready to repair the increasingly bad relationship with UEFA, especially UEFA President Platini, and we must also pay attention to this aspect."

On September 9, Real Madrid will host Marseille from Ligue 30 at home in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Yesterday, Florentino invited Platini to watch the "passionate collision of Spanish and French football."

It doesn’t matter if Platini doesn’t agree, Florentino has a backup plan.

At the same time, he also invited Platini to the Bernabeu to guide the peak showdown between Real Madrid and AC Milan on October 10, and invited him to watch the competition between the two greatest teams in the history of the Champions League.

"In addition, we must also unite with Spanish Football Association President Villar and other Football Association officials. If we don't fight for it, one day they will completely lean towards Real Madrid; and..."

The Spanish Football Association received a special sponsorship of 2010 million euros in 120 for an international football project, but after the stipulated time, the four projects were reduced to one.

"Enough!" Cruyff slapped the table. "Are you playing football? Platini and Bilal are important, but what about our player? He is the future of our Barcelona, ​​and he is the one we Barcelona need to rely on."

"Barcelona can be without me or you, but not without football or excellent players."

Cruyff's lips trembled.

"Rejecting Raiola's demand that Ibrahimovic's annual salary must always be one euro higher than Messi's is for the sake of salary structure and locker room stability. Hiring a better chef for Charles is for the future of our Barcelona. The future of Barcelona must not be rejected."
