Chapter 105 The Premier League: The Stamford Bridge Dressing Room

Xiangnan's current residence in London is an apartment that the club helped to find. It is at the end of Fulham Road, not far from Stamford Bridge, and it takes less than half an hour to run to the club.

For the past few days, Xiang Nan runs to the club every morning after breakfast. This is a habit he has developed since he was a child, no matter in Belgium or Turin, so Xiang Nan has already decided that if he plans to stay in London If you buy a house, you should also be in a location relatively close to the club.

I ran all the way, dripping with sweat, feeling unspeakably comfortable. When I arrived at the gate of the club, I greeted Old George and was about to run in.

"Hi Andre, good luck!!"

'Yes, good luck! ! "Xiang Nan said to himself, today is the first time Xiang Nan met with the Chelsea team. In the 25th round of the Premier League, Chelsea brought a 1:1 draw away from Portsmouth, which is not good. It's not too bad a result. I don't know how Chelsea coach Mr. Grant will feel.

Seeing Grant, the impression given to Xiangnan by the Israelis was that he looked like a typical Jewish scholar. The winter in London is still relatively cold, so Grant did not wear the same sports shorts and sports jackets as some Premier League coaches did. In shorts, Chelsea's head coach was wearing a suit and leather shoes, a cardigan in the suit, and glasses. If someone told Xiang Nan that the person in front of him was a professor at the University of London, Xiang Nan would be more convinced.

Grant saw Xiang Nan and nodded. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with Xiang Nan taking the initiative to come to the club for extra training in the past few days. The Israeli extended his hand, "Hello, Andre."

"Hello, Mr. Coach." Xiang Nan shook hands with Grant, feeling that Grant's hands were cold.

No extra words, "Okay, Andre, I'll take you to see your teammates, I hope these guys are not late."

"Okay, coach!!"

Following Grant's footsteps, he crossed several overlapping training grounds and went south to a large locker room door.

"This is the dressing room that Zola once used." Grant mentioned Zola, the greatest foreign aid in Chelsea's history. It seemed that he wanted to shorten the communication between Xiangnan and the club. Then he realized that this might not be an interesting topic. Because now there is Shevchenko who is also from Serie A, "Come and meet your teammates."

Xiang Nan took a deep breath and told himself that he was the omnipotent guy, his goal was Basten, and he was the king of winter transfers, well, be confident! !

The voices in the dressing room could already be heard at the door, and a voice was vaguely yelling, "The girls in Portsmouth are not as enthusiastic as the girls in Yorkshire. No wonder their team is so rubbish!!"

Grant's face changed, and a black line appeared on his forehead. Xiangnan knew that the Israelis were already angry. In fact, every head coach would be angry. The away game was tied with Portsmouth, and some people on the team went out to nightclubs, and then in The dancers in the locker room commented happily...

It seems that what the media said about Grant's control over the Chelsea dressing room in the post-Mourinho era is not enough, and he is not casually spreading rumors.A situation like this just now is unimaginable in the era of Magic Bird. That guy dares to do this. Mourinho doesn't mind putting him in the youth team to spend the rest of the season! !

'The Portsmouth people are rubbish, so what is Chelsea who drew with the Portsmouth people? '

Damn it! !
Xiang Nan didn't know who was making noise inside, but he should know from Grant's expression.

"This is the England player." Grant shrugged towards the south and opened the door of the dressing room.

As the locker room opened, it became silent in an instant. Dozens of eyes looked towards the door, but no one spoke. Maybe some people were still worried about whether the head coach heard the words just now.

"Okay, this is your new teammate, Andre who transferred from Turin." Grant introduced Xiang Nan as if he hadn't heard anything just now.

"Hi everyone, my name is Xiang Nan, you can call me Andre, we are teammates from today, I am very happy to play football with you." Xiang Nan did not say that he was transferred from Turin, so It will make everyone feel alive.

Grant didn't speak, but obviously, he also noticed the meaning of Xiang Nan's words, smiled, and left. The next thing is time, which belongs to the players. It's not appropriate for him to be here as a head coach. , Grant still knew.

Terry performed his duties as captain very well. From the moment Xiang Nan came in, the captain of Chelsea nodded to Xiang Nan. He knew about this new teammate's report today.

Terry walked up to Xiang Nan, smiled and extended his hand and shook Xiang Nan's hand, "Welcome, Andre, just call me John."

"Hello, John, you are stronger than I thought." Xiang Nan also joked with Terry. He knew that the impression and relationship he had on the first day in the locker room had a great influence on his future in the team. It's not a small impact, he doesn't want to taste the feeling of isolation.

Terry smiled, took Xiang Nan's hand, and then Terry introduced other teammates to Xiang Nan. In fact, Terry didn't need to introduce them. Xiang Nan also knew who they were. After all, these teammates were all famous Big players.

"This is, Petr Cech."

"Hello, Peter." Xiang Nan saw Cech and wanted to ask Cech, did he also wear the famous helmet during training?But obviously, it was just thinking about it, Xiang Nan would not be stupid enough to really ask.

"Hello, Andre." The Czech was very ordinary, neither too welcoming nor cold.

'not bad! ' Xiang Nan said to himself.

"This is, Ashley Cole."

"This is, Michael Essien."

When introducing Essien, Xiang Nan couldn't help taking another look at the legendary 'big buffalo'. Sure enough, it was very 'buffalo'! !Strong enough! !
"This is Ricardo Carvalho."

"This is Ivanovic."

The next one needs no introduction.

"Hello, Andre, my Frank Lampard, just call me Frank." Lampard extended his hand friendly.

"Hello, Frank."

Next, it's the matter of Chelsea's deputy. Lampard began to introduce other teammates to Xiangnan. Xiangnan glanced at Ivanovic, who also joined during the winter break. Halfway through the introduction, the team deputy followed up, which should be a tradition in the Chelsea dressing room.

Uh... have to say, interesting tradition.

"This is, Joe Cole."

"This is, Makelele."

"This is, Michael Ballack."

Barak's tough image made Xiang Nan also secretly admire him, the legendary German pure man...

"This is Florent Malouda."

"This is, Aromon Kalu."

Kalu was very indifferent to Xiang Nan, and even looked a little hostile. It's no wonder that Kalu, who has always been depressed, has gradually gained the approval of the head coach Grant through his outstanding performance in recent games. , Now there is another guy with the name of 'New Basten', of course Kalou is not happy.

Also, as Drogba's compatriot, Kalu, who is also from Côte d'Ivoire, is also very dissatisfied with this buyer for Drogba.

Xiangnan felt that Kalu was deliberately exerting force when shaking hands with Sentence. Because he was unprepared, Xiangnan could not exert force, so he had to grit his teeth and endure.

At this time, Lampard, who was introduced on the side, also noticed this situation, which made Chelsea's deputy feel very embarrassed, and said, 'Amonro'!Told Kalu not to go too far.

Kalu let go of his hand resentfully, and glared at Xiang Nan, meaning, 'wait and see'! !

Xiang Nan met Kalu's gaze without fear, he was never afraid of provocation, and Xiang Nan's eyes said, "I don't know who will wait and see!" ! '.

Everyone in the locker room looked at Xiang Nan with great interest. Obviously, the gentle boy who just showed this action made them realize the other side of Xiang Nan. When faced with provocations, this new kid will definitely It's a man! !
....
In the end, only Drogba and Shevchenko were left. Drogba was a little indifferent to Xiang Nan's performance. After all, Drogba also knew why the club bought the striker at this time.

As for Shevchenko's enthusiasm, however, the loneliness in the eyes of the Ukrainians can be seen at a glance. Since leaving San Siro, the legendary Milan striker has begun to sink rapidly. I don't know if the Ukrainians will regret their decision now. What about the decision to leave Milan?

In fact, Shevchenko's transfer from AC Milan to Chelsea turned out to be a deal that lost in all three aspects. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead has already become history, and Shevchenko is now crowned as a super parallel importer. Indecent hat, while Milan continued to look for strikers all over the world, Chelsea spent a lot of money, and carried the hat of being taken advantage of to buy parallel imports.

So much so that now, the media are hyping up the topic of Milan repurchasing Shevchenko. However, Xiang Nan believes that the former Milan legend has become history, and even returning to Milan will not help the matter.

Not to mention anything else, Milan fans can accept the return of this rare 'traitor' in the history of the team, which is a big question...

When Xiang Nan shook hands with Shevchenko, he made a joke, "Hello, Andrei, my name is Andrei too."

This also caused a burst of laughter from the locker room. In the eyes of Xiang Nan's new teammates, this new guy doesn't look too bad, at least compared to the original legend, the one who will come is called Nicholas—— Anelka's famous troublemaker, much better.

Uh... I have to say that Juventus's snap-up of the Frenchman has done a good deed.

Shevchenko smiled too, albeit a bit lonely.

At this time, the captain of Chelsea spoke...
