《Atletico Madrid bites Barcelona! The final round of La Liga title battle is decided》
《The tenacious Atletico Madrid left the suspense of the championship battle until the end》
《Su Chen refused! Atletico disrupts Barcelona's early title win》
《It's Su Chen again! This Atletico Madrid team is invincible》
《In the last round, Su Chen or Messi, who can have the last laugh? 》
La Liga 37th round.
Atletico ends the match at home against Cadiz.
In the last home game.
The Sheets Army used a clean 3:0 to drag the battle for the La Liga championship to the final round!
In the post-match press conference,
Torres became the protagonist in the entire conference room.
Even Simeone took the initiative to sit aside and let Torres sit in the middle.
Torres first delivered a 5-minute speech.
He officially announced that he will retire at the end of this season and join the Atletico Madrid youth team as an assistant coach!
"This is really a difficult decision to make.……"
Torres's eyes sparkled with tears.
During the press conference, he choked up several times, causing his speech to be interrupted.
But every time his speech was interrupted, accompanied by warm applause from the reporters in the audience,
Torres would smile and wipe away his tears and continue his speech.
"It’s been 18 years. 18 years ago I was still a 16-year-old boy. Now my wife often says that the hair on the temples is a little white."
"I'm a lucky guy. In the first year of my career, I became the main player at Atletico Madrid."
"At that time we were still in La Liga, and I followed the team step by step and worked hard to get promoted to La Liga!"
"Atletico Madrid in the early 2000s was so beautiful……"
Torres fell into fond memories.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly involuntarily
"If you want to know how good the atmosphere of the team was at that time, you can ask my former teammate and current head coach Mr. Simeone!"
"Although Atletico Madrid at that time did not have stars like Suchen, Griezmann, Koke, and Costa like it does now,"
"But the whole team is still playing happily, there is not much pressure on the team, and everyone just enjoys football."
Torres turned his head and glanced at coach Simeone sitting next to him.
At that moment -
Torres looked a little dazed!
He felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
It was as if he was sitting in front of him.
He was not a fat man with a fat belly and a swollen face. A young man, but the Atletico midfielder teammate who is known for his fierce pressing and active running-Argentinian iron waist Simeone!
"If I have any wishes before retiring."
Torres's eyes shone with anticipation,
"I hope to follow Atletico Madrid and win the first top league championship in my career!"
Hearing this sentence, the reporters in the audience were also sighing!
Everyone felt a little sad.
How many young players joined big teams like Bayern, Juventus, and Barcelona early.
At the age of 21 or 2, At his age, he can easily win the league championship.
Even three or four consecutive league championships!
On the other hand, what about Torres? He has never won it in his military career!
His most important achievements were obtained with the national team: one World Cup and two European Cups!
Yes The best reward for this golden generation of the Spanish national team.
Although Torres has also achieved high achievements at the club level , winning the Champions League and Europa League, it is a pity that many teams have been unlucky.
Torres has never won a top league championship.
His only league championship trophy is the Serie B championship he won with Atletico Madrid in the first year of his career.
In a blink of an eye, 17 years have passed.
It’s over!
Torres’s age has doubled, but in his honor collection room, he still lacks a significant league championship trophy.
"Everyone, I am already 34!"
"Although this is still a relatively young age in ordinary people’s lives"
"But for a football player, he has entered his twilight years!"
"If I could retire with a La Liga title, I would be the happiest man in the world, I have no doubt about it!"
A blond female reporter took the initiative and handed Torres a tissue.
Torres took it and wiped his tears.
Then he showed a bright and charming smile to the reporter.
Compared with when he was young,
Torres' face The marks on his face are darker in color!
His skin is no longer smooth, and there are visible crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His naturally shiny blond hair now has gray marks on his temples, but his smile - he looks like a 17-year-old It was as innocent as that year!
Warm applause broke out again!!!
Everyone was moved by Torres's yearning for victory.
But at this time, a reporter from AS reported took the microphone at an inappropriate time and disrupted the scene. In the originally warm atmosphere, he bluntly asked Torres a pointed question:
"Mr. Torres, it seems that the league is not over yet!"
"How come Atletico Madrid seems to have defeated Barcelona and won the league championship?"
"If Atletico loses to Barcelona in the final round next week and fails to win the league title, you will retire."
"So do you think that your career is a failure because you don't have a top league title?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar!
Everyone's eyes were turned to this reporter from"Asian News", with disgust, contempt, surprise...
There were different emotions in the eyes looking at this reporter.
However, this reporter from AS reported was indifferent and actually enjoyed this feeling.
After all, AS is the mouthpiece media of Barcelona and represents the interests of the club.
This reporter watched the scene live. For Atletico Madrid's match against Cadiz, he even prepared a press release in advance before the game.
Once Atletico Madrid loses, he will immediately publish it on the front page of the AS website:
《Atletico Madrid lost to Cadiz and Barcelona won the La Liga title one round ahead of schedule."
However!
As Su Chen performed a wonderful performance with one goal and three assists.
As well as the efforts of Costa and Torres, this reporter’s announcement became a waste article after all!
It can only be kept in his draft box forever.
Therefore, in order to gain some traffic, reporters from Aspen deliberately disrupted Torres' retirement press conference at Atletico Madrid's press conference!
"If you don’t make it easy for me, I won’t make it easy for you either!"
This is what was in his heart.
Faced with the reporter's provocation, Torres choked for a moment.
The reporter's words were like a hammer, hitting his life severely:
"If Atletico fails to defeat Barcelona and win the league title at the end of the season, will my career be a failure?"
These heart-wrenching words echoed in Torres' mind repeatedly.
"You...what did you say?"(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Torres couldn't help but clenched his fists and frowned!
Simeone, who was sitting next to Torres, also glared at this reporter.
If it were normal times,
According to Simeone's violent character,
Simeone will definitely stand up from his position, rush to the reporter, and yell at him.
But today's post-match press conference is also
Torres' retirement conference.
In an occasion that was both warm and solemn,
Simeone could not bear to ruin the atmosphere because of his irritability.
He waved to the Atletico Madrid press officer next to him, motioned for him to come over, and said softly to him:
"Hurry up and get rid of this bad guy from Aspen, don't break Torres' heart!"
Although this sentence was not loud, it was heard by the sharp ears of the reporter from"Asian Newspaper".
He simply stood up, looked around unscrupulously, and said loudly:
"Why are you driving me away? Did I say something bad? I just asked a question for Torres, right?
"Mr. Torres, please answer my question!"
The reporter is still aggressive and bites Torres.
"Please answer me directly, Mr. Torres!"
"If Atletico Madrid loses to Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the 38th round of La Liga, which is also the final round, and loses the league championship, can it be said that your career has failed?"
"After all, from your previous speech, it can be seen how much you want this league championship!"
"This feeling of not wanting anything you want must be very uncomfortable.~"
"After all, he is almost retired in his career and has not yet won a top league championship. This really cannot be called a successful football player!"
"boom——"
There was a loud noise!
The door of the conference room was kicked open.
"enough! Rat from"Aspen Newspaper", shut up!"
In everyone's surprised eyes, Su Chen rushed in.
Logically speaking, the protagonist of this press conference is Torres, but after the game, Su Chen took a shower in the locker room.
He wanted to go to the door of the press conference to listen..What will the star Torres say when he retires?
But just when Su Chen was immersed in the memories of Torres and his beautiful yearning for the La Liga championship, a reporter from the Barcelona mouthpiece media"AS" This untimely speech completely angered Su Chen!
In the surprised eyes of the reporters,
Su Chen calmly walked up to the podium! He sat directly next to Torres.
Torres also looked at him in surprise. :
"Su, why are you here?"
Su Chen smiled and patted Torres on the shoulder, signaling him not to speak.
Then, Su Chen suddenly glared angrily at the reporter!
Although Su Chen was only 18 years old, there were traces of youthfulness on his young face..
But the powerful aura released at that moment made the entire conference room quiet.
Atletico Madrid's press officer also looked at Su Chen nervously.
I didn't know what he wanted to do. He was so domineering and aggressive just now. The reporter from"Asian Daily" was also shocked by Su Chen's eyes!
He wanted to sit down.
But the soles of his feet seemed to have roots and he couldn't move!
He had to force himself to smile calmly:
"Mr. Suchen is also here, just in time. I have another question and want to interview you!"
"Shut up! I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"
Su Chen interrupted the reporter,
"Please write it down carefully for me!"
"Now, I am speaking from above and you are listening below. You are not allowed to speak without my permission! have you understood?"
Su Chen opened the mineral water in front of him and drank a sip!
A cool stream spread all over his body.
He pointed at the Aspen reporter's nose and said to him word by word:
"First of all, I want to tell you that this is Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, our home stadium, not Camp Nou, your hometown of Barcelona!
"How dare you, in our house, to question whether a great player like Torres can have a successful career?"
"Especially today is Torres’ retirement press conference. Didn’t your parents tell you that you should learn to respect others?"
"If nothing else, you are a failed reporter!"
The reporter did not allow refutation.
Su Chen continued:
"You are worthy of questioning Torres, what contribution have you made to your country?
"During his military career, Torres won one World Cup and two European Cup trophies for the Spanish national team!"
"He is a great hero of your country!"
"As a Spaniard, if you show such disrespect to your country's heroes, if your parents find out, will they slap you with the soles of their shoes?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for three seconds.
Then huge applause broke out!
Even bigger than the applause when Torres spoke.
��Chen was right!
Most of the reporters at the scene were native Spanish.
Among them are many senior media people who have been in the industry for more than 20 years.
They have all experienced the golden generation of the Spanish national team.
Many people even witnessed the historical moments when the national team won the World Cup and European Cup.
These scenes are still vivid in my mind.
Become an indelible memory in their media career
"Torres is a great player, this greatness cannot be questioned by anyone!"
"Not to mention you, a little reporter from"Asian Newspaper"!""
Just because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are competing for the league championship in the final round, as a media reporter who is Barcelona's mouthpiece, you dare to blatantly tarnish Torres' career. What are your intentions?"
"As a foreigner, I feel ashamed of you!"
Su Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He cast a disappointed look at the reporter.
《The face of the Aspen reporter felt cold and hot.
He was extremely ashamed by Su Chen's loud words!
But he still said to Su Chen stiffly:
"Please don't change the subject, I'm asking about the competition for the league championship! After all, Barcelona has Messi, Suarez, and Neymar……"
"Shut up! Did I call you to speak? Don’t have a long memory!"
Su Chen shouted angrily, full of aura!
The reporter's legs went weak.
He sat down on the chair with a plop.
"Sit tight for me and listen carefully."
Su Chen crossed his arms on his chest.
Now he is the protagonist of the entire Atletico Madrid press conference.
"After all your talk, aren't you just asking whether we can beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the last round? Then I won’t mince words with you, I’ll tell you directly."
Su Chen scratched his head and kept muttering the name"Messi" in his mouth.
Finally he smiled.
"Reporters from Aspen, go back and tell your boss Messi!"
"We at Atletico Madrid are going to beat you hard in the last round at Camp Nou, Barcelona’s home stadium!"
"Then in front of 100,000 fans at your home stadium, hold the La Liga championship trophy high!"
"This is the mission of our Atletico Madrid players!"
"As for Messi, he is nothing!"
"Is Messi strong? He is indeed strong!"
"But Atletico Madrid's striker is stronger now!"
"Let me tell you this, when Messi comes to Atletico Madrid," Su Chen pointed to his head with his thumb,"He also has to be a substitute for me!".
