Chapter 12: XII:
Now that he has arrived at Blackburn and was caught by the British paparazzi, Ronaldo calmed down, he took out his mentor Ferguson and blocked his girlfriend's mouth, and then went to the back door to get a ticket with a good position, ready to see the shocking shot of the little fan with his own eyes.
This is the 19th round of the Premier League, and Blackburn Rovers take on Stoke City at Ewood Park.
Stoke City was the eleventh team in the Premier League last season, and at the beginning of the season, they won several big wins in succession, but unfortunately the form was not maintained, and in December, they fell into a slump, with two draws and one loss falling to tenth place in the standings, and fans have opinions.
Stoke City are in desperate need of a win to turn things around, and unfortunately their first opponent after Christmas will be the Roses who boast Leander, an English supernova.
Although it is not a battle of the giants, Sky Sports still sent the leading commentator Andy Gray to partner his old friend Richard Keith. The two happened to narrate Blackburn's legendary game against Manchester United, and they witnessed Leander's emergence from the ground, so it was natural that they would be a little more partial to the handsome mixed-race guy. While the players were still warming up, the two got into a fight, with Richard Keith leading the way, showing the audience a paparazzi photo: Cristiano Ronaldo driving a Ferrari into the Blackburn Rovers youth team players' apartment.
"I didn't expect the first weekly salary and first appearance in football to be good friends, I bet Rooney introduced them to each other!"
Richard Keith said this, Andy Gray smiled cooperatively, and began to recall Ronaldo's great friendship with Rooney in the years of Manchester United, blowing happily and emotionally: "It is indeed unexpected, the local media in Madrid also swore that Ronaldo will definitely go to the United States to spend a warm Christmas with Yelena, it turns out that brothers are siblings, and women are like clothes." β
"I sincerely hope that your wife is not in front of the TV to watch the game, as a good friend, I am really worried that you will not be able to enter the house tonight."
The two are worthy of being famous in the industry, and they stirred up the atmosphere with a few words, and when they said something about the same outside the court, they led the topic to the game itself.
'We've got the starting line-up, Stoke City are playing away from home with a balanced 442 formation, which is similar to what was predicted before the game, and their manager, Tony Poless, is not a risk-taking and challenging person, his side has always been conservative. Stoke City's starting striker was Trinidad national team player Kenwini Jones, who joined in the summer transfer window and was previously an absolute mainstay for Sunderland for a fee of Β£8 million. The other striker was Jamaica international Ricardo Fowler, who moved to Stoke City in '06 and became the team's top scorer in his first season, but unfortunately fell into a slump from last season, but the manager still trusted him so much that he was still in the starting line-up for such a high-profile game. β
"In midfield, there are four starters: No. 18 Whitehead, No. 26 Matthew Etherington, No. 24 Rory Drup, No. 16 Pennant. At the back, No. 17 Ryan Shawcross is No. 5 Danny Collins, No. 28 Andy Wilkinson and No. 4 Robert Huter. There is no change in the goalkeeper position - Asmibegovic. β
"This is already the best team Stoke City can put out, and Blackburn Rovers without Leon Del Tang have a good chance of winning, but unfortunately in order to thank the fans, Big Sam put Don in the starting line-up for this game. In my opinion, Pulis should change the formation as soon as possible, let the formation move closer to the offensive end, and rely on defense to win Blackburn, it is better to pull it out and play against the attack! Stoke City are a hard-fought team and will want to give us a great Christmas game. β
Richard Keith said so much without changing his face, and when he finished introducing the situation in Stoke City, Andy Gray immediately took over, "That's right, it can be seen from the starting list that Pulis's team takes this game very seriously, and they are not willing to give away the three points. β
"Looking at Blackburn Rovers again, Big Sam lined up in the same formation, with Don and Diouf in the front, Pederson, Emerton, David Dunn in midfield, and Hoylet, who was a good substitute in the last game, and Olsen, Nelson, Givit and Salgado in the backline."
"It's hard to tell the difference between the squad and the Blackburn fans are excited that Leander Don is finally starting the game, and according to the pre-match interviews, the home fans have said that the team will definitely give them a perfect victory, Don will score more than three goals! Whether it can come true or not, let's focus on this focus battle. β
"Alright, Sky Sports viewers, thank you for tuning in to watch Blackburn Rovers host Stoke City in the 19th Premier League of 2010/11 as we broadcast it live."
Andy Gray's commentary is always so passionate, he roared before the start of the game, and at this time the on-site commentators at Elwood Park were also shouting the names of the home team's players, and the last one to be hit was Leander, who himself was infected by the hot atmosphere and smiled in the direction of the main stand.
The director was sharp-eyed, and immediately discovered the subtlety, and switched the picture to the front stands, where the local tyrant wearing a baseball cap and big sunglasses on his face inadvertently broke into the live broadcast camera.
Over the years, Ronaldo has been secretly photographed and captured countless times in various ways, and he is very sensitive to the camera, and almost immediately waved his hand to say hello to the audience.
"Oh, it's Cristiano Ronaldo! He showed up in the home fans' stands to cheer on Don! β
"As we said before the game, there is a very deep friendship between these two stars, and if I change it, I will definitely fly to the United States to spend Christmas with my supermodel girlfriend, and only come to watch the game in the cold wind when I see the ghost!"
"So you're just a dead fat guy with no door, not Ronaldo."
β¦β¦
In fact, the big screen at the scene also captured Ronaldo's figure, and the enthusiasm of the home team's fans was unprecedentedly high, which really felt a sense of fulfillment. Well, it is not them who are most excited, but a group with great potential that has just developed. This group of people is mainly from the far east, gender female, male-loving, love*, and YY male god when nothing happens.
Andy Gray, as a senior commentator, naturally won't ridicule the matter with two sentences, he looks at it with a professional eye, and then puts forward a possibility, is Ronaldo helping someone to contact feelings? Alex Ferguson or Jose Mourinho.
If you think about it, it's all possible.
Although Leander has not been in the Premier League for a long time, he has already proven himself, first of all, he can adapt to the intensity of the Premier League; Secondly, he can score goals. The most important thing is the second point, it has been less than half a year since he turned from a fan to a player, he has reached such heights, he is a genius.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Andy Gray also mentioned another thing: "Don's enthusiasm has not been high for a while, and he is always frowning during training, although he has achieved great success, there are still contradictions with the team before, and under this premise, any move by Ronaldo is not surprising...... In fact, I always wondered, how long could Blake have kept him, a season? Or shorter? β
Richard Keith agreed with this conjecture from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't nod, but joked: "You don't ask Blackburn fans if they say yes!" β
"Objectively speaking, it's really not for the fans to decide. Don is the greatest newcomer in English football history, and how can he be convinced by the Β£2,000 weekly salary before tax? Transfers are the way things are. β
Andy Grey said what Blackburn fans don't want to hear, the team has been silent for too long, they have dreamed of a glorious season, the first year, under the leadership of Big Sam, Blackburn have finished 10th in the league, which is very happy, they just hope to keep 9 out of 10 this year, they didn't expect to get such a gift.
That's right, it's a gift, Leander is a gift from God to Blackburn, and the fans love him and cherish the years with him.
Those who were watching the game did not hear this, they waved the team flag and shouted Leander's name, and the crowd came one after another. The mood of the audience in front of the TV was much more mixed, with some praying with their hands folded, and others taking advantage of the chaos to stir up the rhythm and posting topics on Facebook, Twitter, and forums.
Overall, hopefully he won't be left behind, and with the door to the winter transfer market about to open, there are plenty of teams looking forward to absorbing him to ease the pressure on the front line, preferably to help the team achieve good results in the second half of the season.
Speaking of which, although Leander has proven himself in the Premier League, his qualifications are still a little thin, and the key to such popularity is three points: first of all, blood and nationality, secondly, handsome appearance, and finally the timing of fame.
The youngster who has only played less than ten official games in Tonggong will not be against the sky no matter how good he is, and the upcoming winter transfer period is the best opportunity to poach the corner, as far as it seems that Leander is a big player in stable form, and he should achieve good results in the second half of the season, if it drags on until next summer, no one knows what height his value will rise.
After all, he is not a top superstar of the level of Ronaldo Messi, even if the investment fails, he will not lose much, as long as Blake is willing to let go, most of the five major European leagues are teams waiting to receive him.
Not to mention, all the famous coaches of the Premier League have expressed their favorability openly and secretly, of course, a large part of them is to follow the trend to cater to the media and fans, aside from the elements of acting, there is always sincerity. Take Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's decorated manager, for example, who has experienced the charm of Leander on the pitch up close, and there is such a player who can not only score efficiently but also revitalize the team and bring greater competitiveness, not to mention the speed of attracting fans and the potential commercial value.
Manchester United are the most profitable team in the Premier League, and they like Leander's young, good-looking, talented potential, and he has a knack for developing young players.
As for Arsenal, it goes without saying that Arsene Wenger is very fond of Leander's physical condition, and he has secretly made assumptions and simulations about how this player should be adjusted/trained and used under his own command. Relying only on speed, strength and shooting accuracy can eat seventy percent of defenders alive, if you can improve comprehensively and stimulate the ball sense and thinking of the demon star, it is really promising.
Blackburn's position is awkward, the coaching staff has sensed the problem, they have raised it, but it has not been taken seriously by the owner, the management did not want to keep Leander in the first place, and did not immediately put it up for sale because it could not be sold at a price now.
Because of the short-sightedness of the boss, the fans are destined to be sad, some of them have already thought of this, and more are still expecting, hoping that the Indian boss can pay for a few people to consolidate the defense, look at the standings, this season the team has a good chance to create a zΓ o miracle.
These thoughts were only fleeting, and they did not linger in their hearts, and the fans quickly entered a nervous state of watching the game.
Blackburn Rovers did not disappoint at home, in the ninth minute of the first half, Stoke City defender Wilkinson tackled Diouf who broke through with the ball, because the situation was not serious, the referee did not show a card, and at the same time, in order to compensate the home team, he awarded Blackburn a well-placed free-kick.
It was Leander who was in charge of the penalty.
The opportunity was given to him by Diouf.
After all, it is a game of special significance, as a Christmas gift, they not only want to win, but also to win beautifully, from this point of view, Leander is the most suitable person, this kid can be seen by Big Sam to successfully sign Blackburn because of that kick with special effects on goal.
When he was still a golden dragon, Leander was used to seeing big scenes, and his mental life was excellent. Although his identity has changed now, as a rookie in football, standing on the penalty spot and facing a tightly blocked human wall, Leander is not overly nervous.
The heart rate has increased a lot, which is exciting.
Leander had calculated that only a well-angled banana ball would be able to score a goal, and he was confident in himself, but he was not used to this way of scoring. As a golden dragon, Leander has a penchant for simple and brutal attacks, and his shots should be direct and powerful, which he thinks, and he does, and he doesn't want to pick up a volley...... The ball hits the wall so hard that the defender falls on his back.
In the live broadcast room, Richard Keith has howled!
"It's a very dangerous shot, at least the speed and power are superb, and you can take a closer look at it later with a slow shot, I'm sure the moment it flew out the ball was deformed!"
"I can see it very clearly, but the angle is too positive, and it directly blocks the wall......"
Andy Gray is still lamenting that the situation on the field has changed abruptly.
Leander knew the ball was not going to go in, and he played the ball to himself three seconds later in an unusual way, and the ball arced beautifully and flew into the goal of Begovic's goal.

"Leander Don scores! It was a perfect shot! He didn't waste Diouf's chances and turned them into goals!! β
"Oh my God, this goal is so beautiful!"
