It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 277: Ancelotti after the melon (daily transition)
After the greetings, the long-prepared press conference was ready, and countless media reporters had been waiting in the conference hall for a long time.

At eight o'clock that evening, Charles' signing ceremony officially began.

The press officer stood aside, picked up the microphone, and emphasized the rules once again.

"Good evening, friends, and welcome to our press conference today about Charles joining Chelsea."

"Before Charles agreed to answer questions, the press conference was mainly held in French for Charles, considering the uncertainty of his future after his move from Barcelona to Chelsea."

"If you journalists have headphones, you can translate into English, Spanish and Italian in addition to French."

"Each reporter can only ask one question, and must state the name of the newspaper and his or her own name before asking a question. Only after getting permission can the reporter ask a question."

The reporters who filled the entire conference hall didn't pay any attention to this at all. Compared to the background board that they could see every day, they were more concerned about Charles who might come out from behind the door.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the press officer began to prepare his formal speech.

Under the guidance of the club staff, Charles also changed into formal clothes, appeared at the press conference, and sat in the middle seat.

On his left was the press officer who had been waiting here early, and on his right was the head coach Ancelotti who arrived with him.

The satisfied Abu did not appear on the stage of the press conference, but sat in his office watching the live broadcast on TV with a smile on his face and contentment.

While the general reporters were still excited and just kept taking pictures, the experienced media from Fleet Street had already started waving their hands frantically.

The press officer turned to look at Charles, and after seeing the person nod, he signaled the reporter who raised his hand the fastest to start asking questions.

“We are live broadcasting in 23 countries including South America, and if you don’t mind, I would like to ask you in Spanish.”

Charles smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, the chubby reporter finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had rushed all the way from the hotel today and was nearly rear-ended by the crazy British media. Fortunately, the taxi driver he took today was a good driver and used to be a paparazzi. He still managed to send him to the press conference safely.

"Charles, first of all, welcome to the UK. Why did you choose Chelsea among so many big clubs this summer? Or in other words, what interests you about Chelsea that made you decide to make it your next important stop?"

Amid the flash of lights, Charles couldn't help but laugh.

"This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many aspects involved in a transfer."

"Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world. This is a decision I made after careful consideration. Before that, my family and friends gave me the advice that Chelsea would be a great fit for me."

"So after taking all factors into consideration, joining Chelsea was a natural and logical decision."

As soon as Charles finished speaking, all the media reacted and started raising their hands, hoping that they would be the next lucky person.

"James, The Sun, in your answer just now, you said that you had a lot of problems during the transfer process. Can you tell me why you left Barcelona? Did Rosell put any pressure on you or did you encounter any exclusion?"

Russell, who was originally leisurely drinking red wine and singing in front of the TV, almost turned green in the face when he heard this question.

No, it’s not over yet, right?
Charles put down the cup of water and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Sorry, I can't say anything bad about Russell."

Although there was no positive answer, the Sun reporters in the stands were already going crazy with joy.

This answer is the best answer. With this, they can write several issues of reports on Charr’s transfer secrets!
"Sophie Hercus, Gazzetta dello Sport, we'd like to ask you in Italian. Charles, before you joined Chelsea, you had won two league titles, a cup and a host of other titles in the past two years. What did you think life would be like after joining Chelsea?"

"The past honors are all gone. In the future, I hope to challenge myself further. Football is not a career for me but a dream."

"There are a lot of voices now that think you can't adapt to the intensity of the Premier League..."

Ancelotti next door just laughed out loud.

Ciel almost couldn't help himself, "Good question, next one."

The questioner had just sat down awkwardly when another question popped up quickly.

"Eddie Logan, Daily Sports, Charles, I am on your right. Today, millions of Chelsea fans watched your signing live on TV. They are very happy today, but at the same time, there are millions of your supporters in Barcelona who feel very painful. What do you want to say to them?"

Following Garcia's instructions, Charles finally located the reporter from Daily Sports.

To be honest, during the years he was at Barcelona, ​​he really enjoyed reading their flattering articles.

"I am very grateful for the support of Barcelona fans in the past year and a half. It is because of your presence that there are very beautiful memories, but I am ready to open a new chapter in my life and accept new challenges."

Charles said.

Seeing that Charles' answer was flawless, some reporters on the field wanted to ask Ancelotti questions first to divert attention and then surprise Charles when the time came.

Anyway, the questions everyone asks in the end are shared.

"Emily, The Guardian, Carlo, hello..."

Ancelotti, who was suddenly asked a question, turned his head sharply towards the reporter who asked the question. Before the reporter could finish her words, Ancelotti suddenly interrupted her: "Charles is better..."

Charles turned around with a look of shock, and at the same time, all the Spanish reporters in the stands looked at Ancelotti in disbelief.

Why is this Chelsea coach so angry?

Is it true that Ancelotti has been kidnapped and this is Guardiola pretending to be him?

Ancelotti immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and patted his head in regret. "Sorry, I read a little late these days, and my attention is not very focused... What did you want to ask?"

The reporter who had just asked the question was also stuck, and asked Ancelotti's question: "Carlo, what book have you been reading these days?"

Charles turned around and looked at Ancelotti seriously.

Ancelotti drank water tactically, but when he turned around, he saw Charles with a serious face and coughed it out.

Ciel: (ω`)?
Ancelotti: o_O
Charles began to think about where he had put the "Must-have Quotes for Workplace People" he had prepared earlier, while Ancelotti began to think about how to hide the "Secrets of Successful Coaches: Guardiola Quotes" on his desk. The press officer quickly signaled to the next reporter to give the microphone, "Each person can only ask one question, okay, next one."

The reporter just now could only sit down unwillingly.

"Ebibulla Felix, from Brazil's Globo Esporte, Chelsea fans felt like they were dreaming when they found out that a player with two Champions League titles and a World Cup winner was going to join Chelsea this month. Do you know why?"

"Because Chelsea has won the league title last season but still failed to win the coveted Champions League. So for you, will it be a lot of pressure for the fans to have such high expectations of you?"

Abu, who was originally sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but straighten his back.

His desire for championships exceeds that of any other football club chairman.

Charles, who was at the center of the press conference, naturally did not avoid this question.

"The Champions League is the dream that every club is chasing, and I am no exception. It is not only for the league title, but for all titles. I know it will be difficult and the competition will be very fierce, but I came here with only one goal and one thing to say."

“I’m here to win the championship.”

Abu smiled with satisfaction.

Surprisingly, although everyone present thought this statement was extremely crazy, everyone believed from the bottom of their hearts that it was true.

As question after question was raised, the press conference gradually came to an end.

"Takis Skinner, L'Equipe."

"Right now, the three most valuable players in the world of football are you, Messi and Ronaldo, and your ages are very similar, which means that in the future in your careers, no matter who you are, you will face direct competition from the other two."

"Now, football legends and commentators are arguing about which of you three will eventually become the best in the world."

"Would you consider them as your biggest enemy in your future career? Or in other words, how do you view this phenomenon?"

Charles thought for a while, and finally said with a smile: "I will not regard any player as my enemy, nor will they be my motivation for struggle. I have indeed seen a lot of comments about the third king of football and the competition for the Golden Ball. This is inevitable, but everything must be made clear, that is, the players are fighting for the club, Ronaldo for Real Madrid, Messi for Barcelona, ​​and I for Chelsea."

"I don't mind the competition, but we still have a lot of time left. After we all leave on the pitch, time will give the answer."

Charles took the Chelsea jersey and first held up the front to let the reporters in the audience take pictures for a while. Then he smoothly switched the front and back of the jersey in the air. Then Abramovich and Kenyon, who were watching the live broadcast in the office, also walked to the front of the press conference.

Ancelotti, Abramovich, Charles and Kenyon simultaneously raised the blue No. 7 Charles jersey.

The reporters in the audience pressed the shutter button frantically, and the scene was like lightning and thunder.

Ancelotti is just a good guy. They couldn't find any interesting reports except where he went and what delicious food he found.

In addition, Chelsea's top traffic Joe Cole has transferred away. They were originally worried that Chelsea would only have Ashley Cole left, which would cause their newspaper sales to decline, but Charles' transfer completely filled this gap.

They just couldn't believe that under the leadership of Ashley Cole, who was constantly involved in scandals and seeking pleasure everywhere, the entire Chelsea team had no idea how corrupt his private life was, but Charles could still maintain a zero-scandal status as always.

Even if Chelsea can't lead the team, the atmosphere of the entire Premier League is not comparable to that of La Liga.

Abramovich will not issue any nightclub ban to Charr like Laporta did.

Crouch went to a nightclub to have fun while his girlfriend was away, Rooney tried to test the cleaning lady, his girlfriend who collected stamps in the Premier League was infected with AIDS, Terry cheated on his teammate's friend's wife and was later exposed to have affairs with four women, and there was also the brother-in-law scandal, and Ballack followed in Terry's footsteps and was also exposed to have affairs with his friend's wife...

All in all, such things are very common in the Premier League, and Chelsea and Manchester United are the worst hit.

For them, their next focus will be on Stamford Bridge.

No matter whether Charles and Chelsea are incompatible and are isolated and in decline, or whether Charles smoothly integrates into the club and creates a series of shocking scandals, they will not mind publishing all of this in the newspapers.

The worst thing is that Charles no longer has his previous high emotional intelligence. Relying on his status as the captain of the French team and the World Cup champion, he was unable to integrate with other Chelsea players. Eventually, he began to create infighting in the locker room with Anelka and Malouda, and from time to time he bombarded his teammates and head coach and revealed the secrets of the locker room.

Or maybe all Chelsea players disliked Charles and took the initiative to attack him, which caused a quarrel in the locker room.

They have observed that when there are more than two French players or more than two Barcelona players in the locker room, internal strife is likely to occur in the team's locker room.

If Chelsea doesn't have internal strife now, is it worthy of their long-term observation?

Amidst a barrage of flashing lights, the press conference, which lasted for half an hour, finally came to an end.

Charles, Ancelotti, Abramovich and Kenyon walked into the passage one after another.

Seeing that Ancelotti wanted to say something to Charles, Abramovich understood and left with Kenyon first.

Through the door of the press conference hall, the two could still hear the sounds of reporters talking and packing up their things in the hall.

Ancelotti scratched his head. "I have observed your attendance at Barcelona and asked Pep before. According to my analysis and speculation, in order to ensure your health, I decided to postpone your appearance until September. I also specifically asked to poach the chef Ruth who served you before. How is it? Are you happy?"

Charles almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Then I go?
He has left Barcelona, ​​but why can't he get rid of Ruz?
Even though he would no longer be affected by the previous DEBUFF, he really couldn't guarantee how long he could survive under Russ's hands.

"Coach, let's just forget about Ruth..."

Ancelotti was confused for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Well, it's okay if Ruth doesn't come. You can accept playing in September, right? At present, you really need enough time to let your muscles rest and relax. No matter what those reporters say, Premier League defenders have rested for a long time."

Charles hesitated.

"But September starts with the European Championship qualifiers... If I have to wait until September, I will have to report to the national team again."

Ancelotti patted Charles on the shoulder generously and said, "It's okay. I prepared two substitutes for you so that you can have more rest!"
