Chapter 162: One Ball Fame (Part II)

Xavi Alonso is quite puzzled by how he has gone from a "young player with a bright future" to a "superstar midfielder" in just one night. www.biquge.info In his opinion, although this goal is wonderful, it is not to the extent that the British media said that it is rare in the sky and on the earth. As for himself, he should not be touted to such an outrageous level.

However, despite his confusion, Alonso was not stupid enough to stand up and go against public opinion. Because the media publicized it like this, it was very good for him to raise his profile in international football. Therefore, the Spaniard chose to consult George after training in the hope that his head coach could answer his questions.

"Haha, you can get used to this kind of thing slowly, don't take it too seriously. After hearing Alonso's question, George laughed and said, "Unlike the Spanish media, the British media work harder to make stars." You've scored such a spectacular lob in the Community Shield final that you're sure to be the focus of their publicity. ”

It was no surprise that Alonso was so enthusiastically pursued by the British media after the game. You know, the reason why Beckham was able to make a huge name in the UK shortly after his debut, and his fame spread throughout the British Isles overnight, was because he scored a stunning long-range lob against Wimbledon - before that, Beckham was only regarded by the British media as a young player who had to be promoted after the departure of Lee Sharp and Kanchelski, and Ferguson faced no availability in the right midfield position.

After scoring this hanging goal, the fledgling Xiaobei was immediately wildly sought after by the British media and became one of the hottest supernovas in the Premier League at that time. The famous David Beckham not only secured his position as Manchester United's main right midfielder, but also opened the door for the Three Lions. Darren Anderton and McManaman, who became famous earlier, had to give way for Becky, the "peerless genius" in the mouth of the British media, and became victims of the vigorous star-making movement.

Compared with Becky's goal, Alonso's hanging shot was not as good as the shooting distance, but the team he broke the goal kick was not a relegation weaker team like Wimbledon, but last season's league champion Arsenal, and in front of the goal was Jens Lehmann, the second international of the German national team. Therefore, Alonso's popularity is naturally not much worse than that of Xiaobei.

You must know that although the situation and environment faced by the Premier League at this time are no longer as bleak and sinister as when it was first established, and the TV broadcast fee has also reached new highs, and it has gotten rid of the embarrassing situation of only attracting the abandonment of several other major leagues, but compared with the two major leagues of Serie A and La Liga, the Premier League is still inferior in the number of first-class stars and the appeal to top stars.

Take the transfers of Deco and Ronaldo, for example, when Chelsea and Manchester United were also involved in the battle for the two players, but it was Barcelona who won the event. Moreover, looking at the European transfer market in recent years, although the Premier League teams have also introduced many stars in their playing years, in terms of quantity and quality, there is still a big gap between the Premier League at this time and La Liga and Serie A.

In such a situation, although Alonso does not have an English household registration book and does not meet the usual standards of the British media to make stars, when Alonso scored this super lob in the Community Shield, these media still decisively left this standard behind them, and made a big fanfare for Alonso's publicity, as if they wanted to package the Spaniard as a top European midfielder.

Since there are no stars, then we create our own stars, this is the consistent style of the British media!

If it's Ronaldo or Adriano who are being touted by the media right now, then George needs to be more careful. Because the self-discipline of these players is not very good, it is easy to get carried away when they are praised by the media again. Alonso, on the other hand, is still very comfortable with the Spaniard. Because in George's previous life, Alonso almost never made any negative noise, and was always on his own, not being involved in any kind of fighting. Therefore, George has always believed that Alonso in this life can also do this, and he will not lose his way forward because of this little thing in front of him!

"Besides, you should be lucky that the media is working so hard to promote you for free. At this point, George shifted his words with a wicked smile on his face, "And, then, no one will compare you to Carrick anymore, right?"

"Well, that's true, these days, there are a lot less voices discussing this. After pondering for a while, Alonso finally admitted the fact with a wry smile.

As the new centrepiece of Tottenham's organisation, it is natural to compare Alonso to his predecessor, Michael Carrick. In this way, it is inevitable that it will cause a lot of additional problems for Alonso. Because in the eyes of many English fans, Alonso's ability does not seem to be much better than Carrick, so why should the team sell Carrick to Manchester United and replace Carrick with an outsider?

In response to this situation, George did not rush forward to relieve Alonso. On the one hand, because he believes that with Alonso's ability, it is only a matter of time before he conquers the fans and the media, and on the other hand, he also wants to see how Alonso will solve the problem - if Alonso can handle it properly, then George will really entrust him with a big responsibility, and if he can't, then George needs to find another way, such as finding a helper for Alonso, to share some of the pressure for the Spaniards who are not yet fully mature.

Moreover, George is well aware that although Alonso is indeed more suitable than Carrick to be the commander of Tottenham, it is still more convincing for the players to solve the problem on their own. And judging from the current situation, George chose to believe that Alonso's decision was quite correct, and the latter made the fans accept him with practical actions, and did not lose himself because of these hypes in his ears. Even if Alonso had offered to consult with Georges about the matter, it was only because the Spaniards were a little confused by the phenomenon.

After seeing Alonso off, George quickly drove away from the training base at the end of the day, but his destination was not the mansion in Kensington, but the Boyd Layton estate on the outskirts of London, off Highway 17!
