Chapter 410: The Battle of the Shooter King
Until he got on the plane back to London from Milan, Gao Han's mind was still echoing the words of Moratti just now, and he really felt the sincerity of the president of Inter Milan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Giving gifts and giving things during the New Year's holidays, often calling to care, and now saying such things to his face, to say that Gao Han is not moved, it is too cold-blooded.
Unfortunately, the timing was not right.
Chelsea are in a very good position today, with the current squad and quality, Gao Han only needs to strengthen in some positions, such as left-back, or midfield, and he can guarantee that Chelsea will definitely be one of the strongest contenders in the Champions League next season.
What's more, he also has an invincible coaching system.
In this case, Gao Han really has no way to give up everything he has built up at Chelsea, go to Inter Milan, and start from scratch, which is certainly not in his personal interest.
God knows when the next chance to take LinkedIn to the Champions League again?
Whether it's for personal glory or to fulfill the task of the coaching system, there is no reason for him to leave Chelsea.
Therefore, Gao Han could only politely decline Moratti's warm invitation, but he promised that he would coach Inter Milan when he had the opportunity to repay Moratti's sincerity to him.
It made him feel a little guilty about Moratti.
But soon, as Eto'o walked from the back row, Gao Han had to put his thoughts down for a moment.
"Boss. ”
"Hey, Samuel. Gao Han pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Sit." ”
Samuel Eto'o sat down, looked at the manager, and stopped talking.
"Looking for me?" Gao Han asked with a smile.
Eto'o nodded, "I want to discuss something with you." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"Play the league, keep me playing. Eto'o begged.
After hearing this, Gao Han frowned, "Do you want to play more leagues?"
The Cameroonian striker nodded very firmly and affirmatively, "yes. ”
But there was some uneasiness in his eyes.
Chelsea have already won the Premier League in advance, and it stands to reason that the opponents in the remaining seven games, except for the away challenge to Manchester United, the strength of the other teams is not strong, even if it is an away game against Newcastle, Chelsea has a good chance of winning.
In this case, the plan of Alpine and the coaching staff is to concentrate all their forces to play the FA Cup and the League Cup.
But Eto'o took the initiative to ask Ying to continue playing in the league, and that must have only one purpose.
"Because of Henry?" asked Gao Han.
Eto'o didn't deny it either, nodding and saying, "Well, I want to win him and take the shooter king." ”
From the look in his eyes when he raised his head, Gao Han saw a burning longing.
There is no doubt that Thierry Henry has been the top scorer in European football over the past few seasons, and no one can doubt that.
Even this season, in the entire Premier League, no one has been able to match Thierry Henry.
Except for him Eto'o.
In this case, Eto'o wants to compete with Thierry Henry for the top scorer, not just to prove his strength, but more importantly, he is eager to become famous and successful.
As the head coach of the team, Gao Han has never asked for his players for some righteous and awe-inspiring reasons, and even to some extent, he is very supportive of Eto'o's desire to become famous, because it is normal.
Professional players are also human beings, some people have seven emotions and six desires, and the vast majority of professional players are from poor backgrounds, and they have a large family to support behind them, so they want to be famous, want to succeed, and want to get a higher salary, which is completely understandable and understandable.
This is especially true for players like Samuel Eto'o from Africa.
But he himself seems to feel that this is a bit too much to ask, ignoring the interests of the team, so he has no confidence.
Gao Han was sure that if he refused, Eto'o would definitely not dare to mention it again, but it would also dampen the enthusiasm and aggressiveness of the Cameroonian striker, so he thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "What do the other players say?"
Samuel Eto'o looked up behind the manager.
Gao Han realized that the players in the entire cabin had gathered behind him.
"Boss, we all support Samuel's idea, and we should also have a shooter king. Captain Terry was the first to speak.
"Isn't it? Henry's guy is so arrogant that we can't lose to anyone. ”
"Hah, what are you talking about? None of us loses. ”
"Haha, yes, yes, no one loses. ”
"Boss, don't you still have a gambling contract with the media reporter?"
"yes, Samuel can't lose, even the boss, right?"
"Boss, you're going to lose, and it's not fun to win the championship. ”
"Let's fight, boss. ”
"yes, fight. ”
Gao Han turned his head and shook his head with a wry smile as he swept away this group of guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
But don't say it, if they don't remind me, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about the bet with media reporters.
"Well, I can think about that, but we'll have to talk about it first. ”
As soon as Gao Han's words fell, Eto'o and the other players suddenly became excited.
"It's okay to fight the league, but you can't relax in the FA Cup and the League Cup. ”
"No problem!" Eto'o blurted out.
The rest of the crowd burst into laughter, so much so that the Cameroonian striker himself felt embarrassed.
"Also, since you want to fight, you must win, and if you lose, you will lose my face. ”
"Don't worry, boss, I won't lose!" Eto'o assured confidently.
And at this time, Ibrahimovic also squeezed out of the crowd, "Boss, he lost, and me." ”
It was only then that everyone noticed that this guy had also scored 22 goals, only three fewer than Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o, and there was a good chance.
Eto'o raised his eyes and shouted at his roommate, "Get out." ”
Everyone was amused again.
These two guys are now a pair of living treasures!
…………
…………
The Premier League soon ushered in the 32nd round of the league.
Arsenal were the first to play against the Reds Liverpool.
The Gunners have just suffered setbacks on multiple fronts in the past period and are destined to be empty-handed and demoralized this season, so Liverpool boss Houllier said in a high-profile manner before the game that the Reds' goal in this game is only three points, to fight for the Champions League.
From the start of the game, the Reds started the scoring with a corner kick in the eighth minute and leapt to the top of the box to open the scoring for the Reds.
But Arsenal are not to be outdone.
In this game, the two wide players of Pire and Ljungberg were more aggressive, and the combination with Thierry Henry echoed more.
Just thirteen minutes later, Arsenal seized a chance when Pire picked up the ball on the left, Ljungberg cut to the middle and plugged it straight behind him, Thierry Henry cut in and cut it in, but the referee signalled for offside and the decision was disallowed.
The decision sparked discontent among Arsenal fans.
But with the gradual fluency of the attack in the front, Arsenal gradually controlled the situation, especially the combination of Henry, Pire and Ljungberg, which was full of lethality.
Liverpool, on the other hand, after taking the lead, was attacked to score, although the penalty was invalidated, but Houllier became conservative and slowed down the pace of attack, resulting in Arsenal completely controlling the game.
In the 31st minute, Thierry Henry finally scored again, receiving a diagonal cross from the left side of the goal from Pire, and deftly pushed a left-footed shot through Dudek's crotch and into the goal to tie the score.
After that, Arsenal took advantage of the victory to pursue, but soon exposed the weakness of their own backline, and Liverpool seized the opportunity to counterattack, Gerrard passed straight behind him, and Owen calmly scored a single goal to exceed the score again.
After the rematch in the second half, Arsenal fought back wildly, and just four minutes into the game, Ljungberg crossed from the side, and Pire hit the penalty with his left foot to equalize the score again.
A minute later, Thierry Henry relied on his excellent individual ability to score again after successive passes to turn the score around.
The Gunners then took complete control of the game, with Thierry Henry picking in Bergkamp's over-the-top cross in the 78th minute and scoring a hat-trick in front of goal to make it 4-2.
The entire British media circle is completely carnivaled!
All the media reporters breathed a sigh of relief.
With this hat-trick, Thierry Henry's league goal tally this season has reached 28, three more than Samuel Eto'o.
What's even more terrifying is that since the second half of the season, Henry's goalscoring form has been getting better and better, and he has scored a hat-trick in this round, which shows his excellent desire to score.
Manager Arsene Wenger gave a very high evaluation to the Ai General at the post-match press conference.
'Thierry Henry's second goal was definitely a testament to his individual qualities, he was a phenomenal striker and I have no doubt that he is the best striker in world football at the moment. ”
Liverpool manager Houllier also said that Thierry Henry completely decided the outcome of the game.
"When you meet Thierry Henry, you can only raise your hands and applaud his goal. ”
As for the battle between Henry and Eto'o for the goalscorer king, Houllier said that he is more optimistic about his French compatriots.
Arsene Wenger also said that Eto'o does not have the quality to challenge Thierry Henry for the time being.
"Yes, there is no doubt that he has been very good this season, but unfortunately his opponent is Thierry Henry. ”
Perhaps spurred on by Thierry Henry's hat-trick, Chelsea's home game against Middlesbrough took place a day later, and although Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 4-0 to win another big victory, Samuel Eto'o failed to find the back of the net.
Chelsea created plenty of chances in the game, but Samuel Eto'o was so desperate to score that he missed at least three of his must-have goals, but in the end he failed to find the back of the net and had to come home with regret.
The four goalscorers were Ibrahimovic, Veron, Bridge and Ronaldinho, who opened the scoring.
At the end of the game, Samuel Eto'o was three goals behind Thierry Henry and remained second in the scorers' charts, while Ibrahimovic was third with 23 goals.
After the game, British media reporters also interviewed Gao Han one after another, asking him what he thought of the battle between Eto'o and Thierry Henry.
"There are still six rounds of the league, everything is still possible, the winner is still unknown. ”
'Samuel is a great striker, I have no doubt about that, but I think the most important thing for him now is to stay calm, which is an essential element for a goalscorer to take his chances on the pitch and he clearly didn't do enough in this game. ”
"Still, I'm sure he picked himself up quickly. ”
"As for Henry's hat-trick, that's not necessarily a good thing. ”
"Either way, I still firmly believe that Samuel Eto'o will be the top scorer in the Premier League this season!"
But almost all media reporters scoffed at Gao Han's remarks.
But it turns out ......
