Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 338 A Sincere Promise
How much difference is there between melancholy and joy?

For a regular football game, this is a very difficult question to answer, because you don't know when the score on the pitch will change instantly.However, if you ask a Blues fan who has just experienced the 'North War' live, he will definitely tell you without a doubt - only one second! !

At the last second, when the referee picked up his whistle and was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, Chelsea scored another goal in Liverpool's chaotic penalty area to help the team win the game 3-2. The English Civil War! !Perhaps one second before the goal, many fans felt that Chelsea was finally going to face a draw. To be honest, as witnesses of the first draw this season, the fans still felt a little indifferent. For a moment, the joy in the hearts of the Blues fans was infinitely magnified.

On the other hand, Liverpool fans are just the opposite. In fact, for them, a draw with the thriving Chelsea at home is completely acceptable.

But if fail! ?You can count on Reds fans to accept defeat! ?You can count on the fans accepting the defeat after watching the whole game lead! ?
This is of course impossible.

This sudden change in the momentary form made many Red Army fans feel a little uncomfortable. After the game, they all shouted 'the last goal was a misjudgment, a foul', etc. In short, in their hearts, it was difficult for them Accept the final game result.

But this is obviously useless. The penalty of the game will not be transferred by the will of the fans. With the light whistle from the referee's mouth, it means that the goal is valid. In fact, at the last chaotic moment, the referee The referee has no way of knowing whether there is a foul in the penalty area, but at least he didn't see it, didn't he! ?

After the game, Wang Li undisputedly won the best player of the game with his perfect performance of two shots and one pass. When he returned to the locker room with champagne, he was attacked by a group of "jealous men". 'Siege', but it's probably a happy time to be in it. No matter who it is, they all want to score goals in this kind of game, let alone Wang Li scored two goals alone.

But this alternative celebration did not last long, and the arrival of coach Mourinho also saved Wang Li from the 'dire situation' --- he asked Wang Li to attend the post-match press conference.

This is very important, because there are many, many foreign reporters paying attention to this game. Of course, the target they want to interview will not be a supporting role. Only Wang Li, the best player, can satisfy their interview desire. In fact, Mourinho never Concerned about the situation of these reporters, but now he is in a good mood, why not make the reporters happy too! ?
As for whether Wang Li is happy or not, that is not something he needs to consider.

"We persisted until the end, so we won. Looking at the whole game, this result is the most reasonable."

At the press conference, Jose Mourinho summed up the results of the game with a simple sentence. Facing the many microphones of reporters, he smiled slightly and said: "Liverpool played a defensive battle. We did a good job from the beginning to the end, but our offensive ability is stronger, so we became the final winners. I admire Mr. Benitez's ability. He has the courage to play like this at home. If I If my favorite team plays this kind of game at home, then I will definitely switch to support other teams, or I will only watch football in front of the TV in the future.”

Obviously, Mourinho is satirizing Benitez's tactics. In fact, in his opinion, if Liverpool hadn't used this disgusting full-defense tactic, then Chelsea would definitely not have played so hard, although Now the game is over and Chelsea has won the final victory, but the Portuguese is still not forgiving.

"We are losers, so I don't want to say more, looking forward to playing Chelsea again in the Champions League."

When the reporters turned their attention to Benitez, the old fox did not make useless excuses, but left such a provocative sentence and left the press conference directly. The loser has no right to speak , even if he did say something, in the face of the losing score, the reporters can still pick out a lot of distrust, and the last sentence can be regarded as Liverpool's provocation against Chelsea.

Play against each other in the Champions Cup! ! ?What does this mean! ! ?
If Liverpool can play against Chelsea in the Champions League, it is at least possible to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League! !Obviously, the meaning revealed in Benitez's words is the strong confidence in reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, and he asked Chelsea: You are so arrogant in the league, but are you capable of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions Cup! ?
The Spaniard is indeed not a vegetarian. With this sentence, he saved all the disdain and successfully made the reporters turn their attention to other places.

When it was finally Wang Li's turn to be interviewed, the questions asked by the reporters had changed. Since there were many foreign reporters present, everyone's concerns turned to the European Champions Cup. ——
'What do you think Chelsea will do against Barcelona? '

'Have you ever been to Spain?The Calilonians are not to be trifled with. '

'What do you think of Ronaldinho's strength? Will you have any psychological pressure to play against such a superstar? '

.........

Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's because they want to see a joke, in short, the questions from the foreign reporters in the audience are completely aimed at the next match between Chelsea VS Barcelona, ​​and in the comparison between Wang Li and Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho, most people feel that Wang Lihui is in the position of the challenger, which really makes the English media and Wang Li himself very harsh.

"Ronaldinho? Who is he? Does he score as many goals as I do?"

When many foreign reporters wanted to see the depressed state of England's supernova, Wang used such a short sentence to hold back many reporters at all.Obviously, if you compare the number of goals alone, although Ronaldinho is also very good, he is not at the same level as Wang Li. So how can Ronaldinho be better than Wang Li?
honor! !
Long-term stable performance! !

Ronaldinho has been in the football world for so many years, and his strength is undoubtedly a superstar in the Barcelona team. The honors he has won are beyond what Wang Li can imagine, and now this Brazilian star is at the peak of his strength Moreover, last year in 2004, he also won the highest honor for a football player-World Footballer.

And Wang Li has only won the top scorer in the European Cup. In his career, he didn't even win a small championship trophy. Even though Wang Li scored a lot of goals, the two obviously cannot be compared in terms of honor of.

As a supernova, in the contest with superstars, everyone takes it for granted that Wang Li is the challenger. Wang Li doesn't like this feeling. He thinks that his strength is definitely much stronger than those so-called superstars.

In any case, the collision between the new and old generations of stars has always caused these European media to clamor. Moreover, in the current Chelsea lineup, Wang Li is undoubtedly the core of the attack, and his position is also the same as that of Ronaldo. Dinho is similar, and of course the media will make a comparison between the two of them.

This also makes Wang Li look forward to the next Champions Cup knockout match.

…………

The highlight of the 21st round of the Christmas game, Liverpool vs. Chelsea, is finally over. As representatives of the southern and northern teams in 04/05, the strength of Chelsea and Liverpool will always be sparks hitting the earth, but this time it will be even hotter. The suspense really didn't end until the last second. In the end, Chelsea's sharp spear pierced Liverpool's hard shield. At Anfield, the Blues defeated the Reds 3-2 and had the last laugh. Lee's last goal will eventually become an eternal pain in the hearts of Red Army fans.

The 21st victory in the league not only allowed Chelsea players to reap a lot of bonuses, but also made Chelsea's position at the top of the league more stable.

In this round of the league, perhaps due to the start of the second half of the schedule, the performance of the giants has been more or less affected, and in the top four in England, only Chelsea managed to score three points.The 'Gunners' Arsenal encountered a draw in London. Charlton played at home with a score of 1:1, leaving the Arsenal team disappointed and returned to Highbury, while Manchester United even went 0:2' The clean and tidy loss to the Middlesbrough team led by McClaren has made the reputation of the McClaren who has always wanted to be the England coach even stronger. Many media have advertised McClaren as the successor to Eric The No. [-] candidate for Mori's position.

As for the Swede Eriksson! ?Now most of the media want him to step down.

It's hard for proud Englishmen to accept a foreigner as their football team's head coach, not to mention the Swede's 'youngism' and he's been hesitant to do so Zhao Wangli's entry into the national team really made England fans unacceptable. Now the FA has been under pressure from all sides. It can be seen that Eriksson's time as the national team coach has entered the countdown.

Perhaps, the spoilers in this year's Premier League will belong to Middlesbrough and Tottenham Hotspur.The strong performance of these two teams had a major impact on the old Premier League structure, which made Liverpool even start to worry about qualifying for the Champions League. Now they rank fourth with 41 points, while Middlesbrough There is only a difference of 2 points, and even Tottenham, which was not optimistic before the game, has accumulated 37 points.

The strong performance of the upper reaches of the Premier League has led to a special pattern in the Premier League this season: Chelsea stand out and dominate, while other teams are fighting for hegemony.

This strange pattern has made many media call for the Premier League to usher in a glorious period.

Of course, they are still very dissatisfied with Chelsea's strength. Most people think that this will delay the development of the Premier League, and the FA and various neutral media are happy to see the success of the heroes.However, it is obviously difficult for their opinions to affect the situation of the game. Some media that strongly support Chelsea, such as the "Fulham Post", have even played the slogan of "winning the championship 10 rounds in advance". The performance of Nana and the third-placed Manchester United is indeed not satisfactory, but the melee between the 2nd to 6th place has benefited the powerful Chelsea. If they continue with the current results, it is indeed not a dream for Chelsea to win the championship 10 rounds ahead of time .

However, apart from these remarks on the general situation, the focus of many media is still the unstoppable Wang Li.

Facing an almost invincible Chelsea, and Wang Li, the youngest but best performer in Chelsea, a comment on the sports page of this issue of "The Times" said: "Probably no Blues fans would have thought that this teenager would actually play Scored so many goals, even before the start of this season, the "madman" who tried his best to introduce Allen would not have thought of it himself. But the top scorer of the European Cup used 21 goals in 46 rounds to surprise everyone. His performance is as dazzling as the sun, and the light covers almost all the players in Europe. If Chelsea really wins the quadruple this season, then Allen can really directly ascend to the throne of the king."

This article is just one of many articles that praise Wang Li, and the "Daily Telegraph" even put out the slogan "no one is qualified to compete with him". They directly worshiped Wang Li into the altar, saying that he Is it the number one football player in the world? It's not just about salary, it's about strength.

The reporters of "The Sun" even praised Wang Li in an extremely excited tone, saying that he is England's future hope, predicting that he will eclipse players from all countries in the 06 World Cup in Germany: "Nothing Undoubtedly, as long as Allen can join the England team, the strength of the team will definitely increase greatly. Maybe we were not sure that we could beat Spain and challenge Brazil before, but in the World Cup in Germany, we dismissed them because the team has Allen!! God-like player!!"

As for whether Wang Li can re-enter the England squad before the 06 World Cup, almost no one will deny it.

Even if that pesky Swede Eriksson is still in charge of the England team at that time, he absolutely dare not not recruit Wang Li into the squad, which will offend almost all England fans, the FA and the media.The reason why Wang Li is not recruited into the national team now, and the reason why the Swedes can continue to coach is because the current international competitions are not too important. Many media and fans believe that even without Wang Li, the England team will be the same There is almost no doubt about qualifying in the World Cup group stage.

A team almost made of gold, no World Cup would be complete without England.

…………

In this kind of vigorous touting reports, the Premier League ushered in the 22nd round, and Chelsea ushered in the challenge of Middlesbrough led by McClaren at home.

In the last game, McLaren's Middlesbrough played very well at home, and Mourinho also praised McLaren's tactical ability after the game, but now, the venue of the game has become Stanford. bridge court.In the away game, facing a large number of 'well-trained' Blues fans, the Middlesbrough players were still somewhat nervous. Moreover, they had already played a little weakly against Manchester United in the last game, and Chelsea The prestige of victory, coupled with the return of team captain John Terry to the frontcourt players has brought a solid mentality, which makes the performance of the two teams completely different.

In the end, Chelsea won Middlesbrough cleanly with a score of 4:0. In the whole game, Wang Li scored 2 goals, which made his number of goals in the Premier League this season reach a terrifying level. 48 goals, this number is really daunting.

It is worth mentioning that at the press conference after the game, McLaren, who was a loser, said sincerely: "Before I came here, I never thought about winning. Not admitting that there is still a certain gap with Chelsea, and this gap can no longer be made up by fighting spirit."

When the reporter asked 'what is the gap', McLaren said directly: "There is only one Allen difference between us and Chelsea, but this has become a world of difference."

McLaren's words almost directly said that "Alan has the ability to influence the whole game". Although many head coaches who are obsessed with the tactical system do not want to admit this, even Mourinho is the same, but now, This is already an absolute fact. If a player who can score 2 or 3 goals in each game cannot affect the outcome of the game, then football games may already be equated with basketball games.

Wang Li also expressed satisfaction with his performance in this game. In the post-match interview, he clearly told reporters and fans that Chelsea's era of kings has arrived: "Scoring goals is really nothing special, as long as I One day here, I will work hard to win more honors for the team, Chelsea will usher in an era of kings, and I am the initiator of this era."

At the end of the interview, Wang Li said frankly: "I assure all fans who support Chelsea that Chelsea will win at least three championships this season. As for four championships, we will not consider until we have won three championships." matter."

Blues fans are obviously very satisfied with Wang Li's statement. With Chelsea's current results, the league title has almost been won, and the League Cup title still has some competition with Manchester United. The FA Cup knockout round has not yet officially opened. , As for the Champions League championship, that is the honor that almost all Blues fans dream of. In this four-line battle situation, it is indeed very good to be able to guarantee three championships.
