458. Towards the Golden Ball
Three days later, Manchester United welcomed the final round of the Europa League group game.
In this round, Manchester United's opponent is Luhansk Solya.
With just one point, Manchester United are 100 per cent sure of promotion.
Lugansk Solya is not strong.
However, this is an away game, and the United players need to fly to Ukraine to participate in the game, which will inevitably be a bit of a journey and will test the team's physical condition.
Chu Ge went out with the team.
But he didn't play.
He just sat on the bench and stood by.
In three days' time, Manchester United will face a tough league game.
The opponent is Tottenham Hotspur.
This is an opponent that Ferguson takes very seriously.
Tottenham are strong.
In addition to the UK's number one star Harry Kane, they also have very strong star players such as Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Lamela, Ali, Big Dembele, Lloris and so on.
Under coach Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur have had excellent results in recent seasons.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have been on a winning streak at the start of the season.
Many English media even chanted that Manchester City was the new superteam in the Premier League.
And Manchester City's first defeat was due to Tottenham Hotspur.
In the aftermath of that defeat, Manchester City went from a stellar record to a rapid decline, suffering one defeat after another, a crisis in the league and the Champions League, and Chelsea seized the opportunity to overtake the top of the table.
The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City was a watershed moment for Manchester City this season.
Before they met Tottenham, they had a smooth ride.
After losing to Tottenham, they fell into a slump.
Moreover, Mauricio Pochettino's side not only won the pinnacle showdown with Manchester City, they also dominated that game and showed a very strong quality.
They didn't beat Manchester City in an upset.
Instead, he defeated Manchester City, which was called "invincible" by the media, with a dignified momentum.
That was enough to alert Ferguson.
The defeat of his rivals in the same city, Ferguson did not want to experience it again.
If Manchester United also lose to Tottenham, then in the first half of the league, Pochettino's side have completed the double against Manchester City.
……
In order to prepare for the game against Tottenham, Ferguson continued to rotate in the final game of the Europa League group stage.
Players such as Chu Ge and Pogba all sat on the bench.
If the team struggles, they will come on and help United qualify on the road.
If everything goes well, Chu Ge can take a break.
Ukraine in December is really cold and biting.
Chu Ge was on the bench, and he was about to be frozen.
He watched his teammates on the field and watched the game patiently.
……
When Chu Ge flew to Ukraine, Su Qingqing was not idle in Manchester.
She released her first promotional video through social media such as Twitter and Weibo.
To be precise, it's a warm-up, or the beginning, of a series of promotional videos.
Su Qingqing sat in front of the pink computer.
Look at the video she just sent out with her own hands.
It's only been a minute.
She refreshed it once.
The number of retweets on Weibo has exceeded 70,000, and the number of likes on Twitter has exceeded 40,000.
This number is still climbing rapidly.
Su Qingqing can expect that this video will soon become a hot spot in the online world and attract the attention of countless people.
……
Ning Keyu, who had just returned from renting a house outside the school, returned to his dormitory at the school.
The first thing I do when I get back to the dormitory is to turn on my computer first.
After chatting and laughing with my roommates for a while, the computer was already turned on.
Ning Keyu skillfully opened the webpage.
As usual, he first opened the Weibo page of his high school classmate, Chu Ge.
Paying attention to this old classmate's every move is already Ning Keyu's habit.
Because of the fact that he and Chu Ge were classmates, Ning Keyu can even be regarded as a celebrity in school. With this relationship, he also got a sophomore senior sister, which was also the envy of his roommates.
As soon as he opened Chu Ge's Weibo homepage, Ning Keyu saw a new Weibo for the first time.
"Wow!"
Seeing this Weibo, Ning Keyu couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there any big news in this shock?"
When his roommates saw Ning Keyu's expression, they immediately leaned over.
They only glanced at it.
Immediately, they exclaimed like Ning Keyu.
"Wo K! 200,000 retweets, 300,000 likes, this Weibo is amazing! ”
The first thing that attracted them was the number of retweets and likes on Weibo.
"The comments have also broken 200,000!"
"You're not talking about the point. The point is, this Weibo has only been sent out for ten minutes! Students, there is such a number of retweets in ten minutes, which is amazing! ”
The classmates shouted.
"It shouldn't be hyped up by the water army, right?"
Some students who stood in the outer circle and didn't see the computer screen clearly, as soon as they heard the words of other students, they immediately thought about it and guessed.
"Trolls, you're big!" A classmate with glasses standing next to him suddenly patted the doubter's head, "You can see clearly, this is Chu Ge's Weibo!" ”
"Oh! Then it's no wonder. The skeptic smiled, a little embarrassed.
In the universities of Huaxia, there is no one who does not know Chu Ge's name.
Especially girls.
A soccer player who is familiar even to girls, you can imagine how popular he is on campus.
"However, even Chu Ge's Weibo will not have such a high number of retweets and attention under normal circumstances." Someone tiptoed and looked at the computer screen, curious.
"Shhh Here's a video, let's all watch it together. ”
Ning Keyu clicked on this video on Chu Ge's Weibo and clicked Maximize.
The first thing that appeared on the computer screen was a cartoon character.
A white scarf, raised in the wind.
With black hair and a handsome face, he has a very high similarity to Chu Ge's appearance at first glance.
The boy stood on the edge of the cliff, dressed in a smart close-fitting hunting suit, holding two knives.
The wind is hunting, the scarf is flying, and the black-haired boy stands against the wind, tall as a pine, very handsome.
At this time.
The camera zooms out, and on the high cliff, the teenager begins to run at high speed.
"If this is the challenge of life, then come on!"
"Flying against the wind, born to the sun, I have my life."
This is Chu Ge's voice.
Immediately after, the boy jumped off the cliff.
All at once, the music became impassioned.
Scene transformations.
"It's the Champions League! This is the match of the Champions League final! As soon as the sharp-eyed students saw the game screen, they immediately shouted.
No one paid any attention to him.
Everyone was looking intently at the computer screen.
Quick camera switching.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Griezmann...... One by one, the loud characters in the football world quickly appeared in front of the camera one after another.
And then there's the vision.
The Meazza Stadium, with 80,000 people, is magnificent!
The camera quickly focused on Chu Ge's face.
Stopped for a second.
And then.
The screen flashed.
The music is uplifting again.
In front of the penalty area, Chu Ge dodged left and right in front of Atletico defender Felipe Luiz, and a dashing Matthews feint to pass the defender and instantly break into the penalty area with the ball.
The action is passing, the camera switches quickly and slowly, and the rhythm and background music are just in sync.
After the passing was completed, there was even a flash of lightning under Chu Ge's feet.
"So handsome!"
"It's like watching a Hollywood blockbuster!"
Seeing this scene, the students couldn't help but admire.
And then.
Gao Yuchao is still behind.
In the penalty area, Chu Ge slammed the ball and passed the defender again.
The camera zooms in again.
Facing the football, Chu Ge's eyes were resolute, and he slapped the football with a heavy kick.
Football turned into a shooting star.
Straight into the corner of the goal.
A masterpiece of music.
The audience cheered.
"One goal is the final decision, Real Madrid is on top of Europe!"
The bilingual letters in Chinese and English briefly introduce the significance of this goal.
"Is this Chu Ge's best goal of 2018?"
"Let us know in the comments."
"In the future, I will be releasing more goal videos and the fans will choose my top 10 goals of the year. All friends who participate in the selection, forward, and like will have the opportunity to win the grand prize. ”
"First of all, the first gift is to retweet this video and draw 10 people to get a lifetime free VIP card provided by McDonald's, as well as the latest Nike sneakers signed by Chu Ge."
After watching the video and then looking back at the Weibo content, the students glanced at each other.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and forward it!"
I don't know who shouted first.
Then, everyone picked up their mobile phones, swiped the screen in unison to unlock it, and logged in to Weibo.
It's all too true.
……
Whether it is out of the temptation of prizes, or the love for Chu Ge, or the appreciation of the video itself, anyway, soon Chu Ge's video will spread at a very fast speed.
Through this video.
People are recalled.
In Real Madrid's double journey last season, especially in that Champions League final, when Real Madrid trailed Atletico Madrid, it was Chu Ge who shot the first shot of Real Madrid's counterattack.
It was he who sounded the horn of Real Madrid's attack!
His goal equalised for Real Madrid.
His goal erased Atletico's lead.
He is the youngest player to score in a final in the nearly 100-year history of the Champions League.
That goal is also the first goal in the Champions League in the history of Chinese and even Asian football!
People are starting to think about it, too.
What an important role that Chinese teenager played in Real Madrid's success last season.
Especially in the Champions League.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly the core player of the team, when this superstar level player lost the feeling of scoring in the Champions League knockout round, it was he who led Real Madrid across Manchester City, and it was he who used his goals to give Real Madrid the right to breathe in the final!
In the Champions League final, the brilliant pass, the gorgeous feints like the spirit fox in the forbidden area, should not be forgotten.
That's the embodiment of the art of football!
With the spread of this video, people can't help but sigh again about Chu Ge's envious football talent.
"If it weren't for Chu, maybe Atletico Madrid would have a chance to win the championship."
'Football isn't just about scoring goals, Bale scored even more goals than he did in that game. But what I want to say is that his breakthrough and passing in that game, especially the passing action of stopping the ball with his back, is simply coquettish! ”
"His football talent is just like Messi a few years ago. Visible to the naked eye! ”
With the heated discussion among fans, the attention on the Internet, and various football media have also followed up and began to report.
December was supposed to be a period for the media to take stock of various hot events in the past year.
All kinds of selections and evaluations will begin one after another.
But.
Like Chu Ge, it is very rare to select his best ten goals of the year in the form of an individual.
First of all, you have to score 10 goals in the year.
This threshold has stopped many players.
Secondly, there have been a lot of good goals in those goals.
And.
It's not just a nice goal, it has to be a meaningful goal.
This in turn resulted in some players being eliminated.
At last.
The player also has to be very well-known and get the public to be enthusiastic about it.
Therefore, don't look at Chu Ge's activity of selecting goals, it seems very simple on the surface, but in fact, the threshold is still very high.
At least from the first video.
Funding is burning wildly.
The graphics are excellent, the editing is excellent, the soundtrack is rovocal, and it's sponsored by McDonald's and Nike.
Everywhere reveals an atmosphere that is not bad for money.
The media couldn't help but praise it.
Some suspect that the timing of this video is somewhat strange.
Ten days later, the French football magazine will announce the shortlist for this year's European Ballon d'Or.
Chu Ge's annual goal selection activity at this time seems to be suspected of building momentum for himself and canvassing for himself.
However.
Lineker's column on Sky Sports made it clear.
"[His] results are really there."
"No fraud, no fiction."
"If you can't see his talent and just question his hype, that's really missing the point, really not understanding football, not respecting football."
"The Ballon d'Or was created to select the best player of the year. If a player performs well enough, regardless of his age, regardless of the color of his skin, whether he is more famous than he is or better than he is famous, he should be selected. ”
At the beginning of this season, former Inter Milan coach Mancini, who left because of a disagreement with the management's philosophy, also publicly sided with Chu Ge in an interview with Milan Sports Newspaper.
"Even if he only played for Inter for half a year, he became the best player in Serie A."
"In this year's Serie A Oscar selection, Chu has been selected as a shortlist for the best foreign player."
"And I've heard that he's been selected for Spain's Team of the Year selection."
"After only half a year, I was selected for the best teams in Italy and Spain. If such a player can't be seen by the Ballon d'Or judges, I think it's okay to lose the authority of such an award! ”
Zidane's statement is simpler.
Speaking to French football, Zidane said.
"Chu is undoubtedly the best player of the year."
"He's a phenomenal young man."
"He doesn't even have to be compared to anyone else, he's himself."
"In my opinion, he will not only be on the shortlist for the Ballon d'Or without any suspense. Moreover, he will also win a high prize. ”
"I believe in the authority and professionalism of the Golden Globe selection."
……
In the ice and snow of Ukraine, Chu Ge has no idea that everyone is talking about him at this moment.
When the match whistle blows.
Chu Ge walked quickly to the sideline and hugged Rashford, who was rushing over.
The youngster scored twice today as United won 3-1 on the road.
"Well done, Marcus! You're looking more and more like the golden boy of Europe, haha! ”
Chu Ge patted Rashford on the back.
Happily encouraged him.
With a win over Solja Luhansk, Manchester United successfully reached the knockout stages of the Europa League.
It's very happy for Manchester United.
