"Do you feel like the captain is getting faster and faster?"

"Really?"

"yes. I used to be able to hold on to him for five seconds, but now I can't do it for three seconds. ”

“…… It seems to be more exciting. ”

Van Dijk passed by his two teammates speechless.

The more the two talked, the more excited they became.

Van Dijk seems to understand why Ronaldo left Manchester United that year.

Cristiano Ronaldo is only a three-year-old and he can only take the bus to kindergarten. It's really hard to get on a high-speed car casually.

Van Dijk stopped.

He looked at the training ground.

On the training ground, Chu Ge was still training, he carried the ball, shuttling between one pole after another, his steps were like the wind, and the speed was extremely fast. And the football flickered left and right, seemingly drifting left and right, but it always kept a just right distance from Chu Ge, and was always within the range that Chu Ge could control immediately.

This kind of ball feeling, such speed with the ball, such flexibility in changing directions, is really amazing.

Van Dijk has never seen a player who can do as much as Chu Ge in this training.

Neither Southampton, nor the Dutch national team, no.

"It's a terrible talent for football." Van Dijk increasingly feels that joining Manchester United is the right choice for his career plan.

Chu Ge is an opponent that no defender wants to face.

Virgil van Dijk is a very proud player.

Players with quality, especially those with absolute strength, are often proud of what they are good at.

But even Van Dijk has to admit that he doesn't want to be Chu Ge's opponent.

Chu Ge was too difficult to keep an eye on.

Even if the speed is fast, the cadence is still fast;

Even if the cadence is fast, the foot technique is good.

Combination of man and ball, body coordination, explosiveness, strength...... In Chu Ge, you can hardly find any obvious shortcomings.

He is like Ronaldo in the alien period and Messi in previous years, he belongs to the kind of existence that is basically insoluble as long as he is in good condition.

The single defense was completely unstoppable, and he had to rely on team defense to limit him to the area away from the goal as much as possible.

If you have to say it, Chu Ge's heading ability is indeed very average.

He barely scored with his head.

But a header is just a way to shoot.

Instead of relying on headers, Chu Ge still scored 33 league goals last season and won the league's top scorer, while also breaking the long-standing Premier League single-season goal record (20 team version) by the way. His ability to break through individually is what really makes defenders desperate.

And.

Not only those two teammates, but Van Dijk also sensitively noticed that compared to last season, Chu Ge's speed seems to be a little faster.

In fact, Chu Ge's absolute speed is not the fastest among the players.

It's just that he has good skills, and he can always trick defenders with technique or rhythm to get space to start and accelerate. And once he finds the space to break through, his sudden acceleration often makes it difficult for the defenders to parry, and they can only passively follow him, which makes Chu Ge seem to be very fast.

Van Dijk is well aware of this.

He knows Chu Ge's characteristics very well.

It is precisely because he understands it very well that he will notice the changes in the speed of Chu Ge in the new season.

Although it may not be a lot faster, not as exaggerated as the two teammates said, but on top of his own speed, he can further improve his speed, which is remarkable.

And, it's not just speed.

In terms of explosiveness, man-ball combination ability, and even passing ability, Chu Ge seems to have improved.

I used to compare him to Messi, technically similar, but it always felt like something was missing.

After all, he is still young.

It's not a shame to be inferior to Messi.

And Van Dijk can now feel that Chu Ge and Messi seem to be closer.

Especially after returning from Huaxia.

It was as if he had broken some bottleneck, and his ability had been further improved.

"What a terrible talent."

Van Dijk was envious.

There is also some rejoicing.

Teammates are always better than they are.

……

"Whew."

After completing a round of sprint training, Chu Ge took a long breath and was refreshed.

After a few days of training, he began to gradually adapt to the changes in his abilities.

Huaxia was promoted to receive 200 million appreciation points, but he didn't keep any of them, and invested all of them in the enhancement of ability attributes.

Now, in addition to penalty kicks, corner kicks, indirect free kicks and headers, all other abilities have basically been strengthened to the SS level. The penalty kick was also strengthened to the S level by him, which was basically enough. It's really not enough, he can also add points on the spot.

Penalty kicks are a relatively simple technical ability.

On-site enhancement does not delay use.

Other abilities are not.

After strengthening, Chu Ge still needs a little time to get used to it, brush up on his proficiency, and then he can perfectly master and give full play to his attributes.

After adapting to the enhanced ability, Chu Ge can say that all the attributes that he should have, he is already at the top level in the world.

If last season's Chu Ge was just the Premier League version of Messi, then this season he may be Messi Bensi.

"Then let's try to challenge the league goals again."

Chu Ge was full of confidence.

Although 33 league goals last season was already the most goals scored by 20 teams in a single season, Chu Ge was not satisfied.

When there were 22 teams in the Premier League, Cole and Shearer scored 34 goals in a single season.

Even if he has four fewer games, Chu Ge still hopes that he can challenge the Premier League single-season goal record of 34, so that the new record really belongs to him alone.

This is not Chu Ge's arrogance.

You know, if you open the scope and focus on the five major European leagues, the Premier League's goal record is relatively small.

Ligue 1's single-season scoring record came in the distant 1970/71 season, when Marseille striker Scobral scored a frenzied 44 goals. Not only did he win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot that season, but he also won the European Golden Boot.

Zolco Ibrahimovic also scored 38 goals in a single season last season, which is very close to Skobral's goal record.

The player with the most goals in a single season in the Bundesliga is Gerd Müller, known as the "goal machine", who set a record of 40 goals in a single season in 1971-72.

Serie A's single-season goal record coincided with the season when Chu Ge played for Inter Milan. Argentine striker Higuain, who plays for Napoli, scored 38 goals in a single season, breaking the previous record of 35 goals and becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in Serie A.

La Liga's single-season goal tally is even more fantastical.

In the 2011-12 season, Messi set a record of 50 goals in 37 appearances in a single season, which is also the highest single-season goal record in the top five leagues.

Later, Cristiano Ronaldo came close to that record in the 2014-15 season. At that time, Ronaldo scored 48 goals in 35 games, one step away from Messi's record.

In addition, Messi almost broke this record again in the 2012-13 season. At that time, Messi had scored in 21 consecutive league games, but due to injury problems, Messi only made 32 appearances that season and scored 46 goals. If Messi is allowed to play the full 38 games, perhaps he will complete the achievement of "I kill myself".

50 in La Liga, 44 in Ligue 1, 40 in the Bundesliga, and even Serie A, which is known for its defense, can score 38 goals in a single season.

There are only 34 in the Premier League.

This was created in the league when there were 22 teams.

When the league shrank to 20 teams, their highest season goal record was just 31, if Chu Ge's 33 goals last season were not counted.

The number of goals is obviously a bit shabby.

Although I say that I have my own national conditions,

But the data is there,

The numbers don't lie.

What Chu Ge has to do is to rewrite this data.

Becoming the best in the Premier League is not his goal. Surpassing the best in the Premier League, making his name the symbol of the Premier League, becoming the myth of the Premier League, this is the direction he is heading.

……

At a time when Chu Ge was ambitious and wanted to start his own era, UEFA conducted a group draw for this season's Champions League group stage.

"Will Real Madrid and Manchester United be in the same group?"

Pei Xiaowei sat excitedly next to the TV.

As a senior melon eater, he never thinks it's a big deal to see the excitement.

Su Qingqing glanced at Pei Xiaowei with disdain.

"Manchester United and Real Madrid are both teams in Pot 1, how can they be in the same group? You pseudo-fan. ”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Chu Ge, who was quietly sitting on the sofa watching the lottery.

Lin Murong smiled.

Obviously, Pei Xiaowei made a common-sense mistake, and he was despised by everyone.

Pei Xiaowei is very innocent.

He took out his phone, "I watched the X-ball Emperor, they clearly said that Manchester United can be in the same group as Real Madrid...... Hey, I couldn't find the article, and they deleted it and I wiped it! ”

"The rules have been changed in 15 years, and now the Premier League title is the first team." Chu Ge explained briefly.

While speaking, the draw for this year's Champions League group has been completed.

Manchester United's signing is good.

They are in Group A alongside Portugal's Benfica, Switzerland's Basel and CSKA Russia.

"This is the rhythm of ensuring Manchester United's promotion!"

After seeing the results of the grouping, Pei Xiaowei laughed arrogantly.

Manchester United have a clear advantage in this group. With all three teams in the same group, it will be difficult for Manchester United to advance. Even, after seeing Manchester United in this group, many media believe that Manchester United has almost locked the top spot this season in advance.

Chu Ge did not deny Pei Xiaowei's judgment this time.

His eyes saw another group.

Group H: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Greece.

Chu Ge's mobile phone began to send out the sound of text messages non-stop.

He picked it up and looked at it.

It's basically a text message celebrating the good grouping of Manchester United.

Some from teammates, some from other friends.

Chu Ge looked at the text message sent by Zidane, he smiled and said, "Actually, no matter which group we are in, we should and must advance." ”

"Yes." Su Qingqing nodded, she looked at Chu Ge with appreciation, "Manchester United should have such ambitions." ”

"That being said, isn't it easier for the opponent to fight?" Pei Xiaowei was a little unimpressed.

He thought for a moment and said, "It would be nice if we had such good luck in Huaxia." ”

Pei Xiaowei was talking about the draw for the World Cup in Russia in early December.

At that time, in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, FIFA will hold a grand draw ceremony to draw the 32 teams that have qualified for the World Cup.

Manchester United can ignore the Champions League grouping.

That's because of their own strength, which is in the first gear in Europe.

With avoiding other teams in Pot 1, Manchester United's promotion is a high probability event.

Especially after being placed in the same group as Benfica, Basel and CSKA, as long as there are no major surprises, Manchester United will advance to the next round of matches.

But Huaxia is different.

According to FIFA rules, Huaxia will undoubtedly be classified as a team in Pot 4.

Their group draw lots, and they can only resign themselves to fate.

The results of the competition are not optimistic.

"No matter which group I'm in, I'm going to give it my all." Chu Ge clenched his fists.

That would be his first World Cup.

Until then, he will do his best to improve his abilities.

And then

Fight!

How can you be as good as you want, but please be worthy of my heart!
