Chapter 20: The First Team
Early in the morning, Bauer came to Liu Neng and said: "Now that I am on the first team, there are two ways, one is to directly ask them to raise their salary, even if they perform poorly, they can also ensure that they can earn money, and the other is to wait for half a season later, looking for them to raise their salary." ”
Liu Neng thought that he should play the game first, Liu Neng said: "I am afraid that the high salary will only have a bad impact, or wait for myself to prove myself in the Premier League, and change the contract, so I will choose second." ”
Bauer nodded, "You just have to have faith in yourself." ”
Liu Neng received a notice the next day, he was already officially a member of the first team, and he could go directly to the first team to train, and when he arrived at the first team, he found that the coach was already waiting for him, and after seeing Liu Neng, Kodic came over with the manager and asked: "Jones, how many jerseys are you going to want, and now there are 3, 6, 9, 25, 2733 vacancies, and you want that." ”
Liu Neng naturally chose the number 9, and when Jean wanted to be the number of the main striker, Kodic and Phillips looked surprised and asked: "Don't you know Chelsea's number 9 curse?"
Liu Neng said: "Of course I know, but of course the spell is broken by using it, and this spell is up to me to break it." ”
Chelsea's No.9 curse began in the 2003/2004 season, after a local tycoon bought Chelsea. At the time, Chelsea's No.9 shirt was owned by Hasselbaink, but in the 03-04 season, the former Premier League Golden Boot winner's goals this season have dropped compared to the previous season, scoring only 17 goals in 44 games, which is lower than his average in the Premier League and still down from his previous 20+ goals in a single season. In the summer of 2004, Hasselbaink was purged.
The second is Kezman, a terrifying goal-scoring machine who has scored 126 goals in 172 games in the Eredivisie, and has been the top scorer in the Eredivisie three times in 2001, 2003 and 2004, and has set the highest goal record in the history of PSV Eindhoven. But after joining Chelsea and wearing the number 9 shirt, Kezman seemed to have lost his soul all of a sudden. Throughout the new season, he has been unable to integrate into Chelsea, making as many as 41 appearances and scoring just seven goals, with an unacceptable drop in goalscoring efficiency. A season later, Chelsea purged him to Atletico Madrid. Since then, he has never been able to return to the top.
The third is that Crespo became another victim of Chelsea's No.9 curse after Kezman was dropped by Chelsea. As a super goalscorer, he was at the end of his peak in Serie A, but he failed to compete with Drogba at his new club, and could only be depressed as Drogba's replacement, and his goal rate in Chelsea this year was only 13 goals in 42 games, which was completely inconsistent with his status as a top scorer, and finally could only return to Serie A in the summer of 2005.
The fourth is Bolaruz, who switched from Chelsea in the summer of 2006 to the Netherlands international, who unexpectedly chose the number 9 shirt because he chose it as a defender, which is also a rarity in the whole of football. However, landing at Stamford Bridge as the absolute backbone of the Dutch defence, he was unable to break Chelsea's no.9 curse, and Bolaruz even lost his place in the national team after a series of low-level mistakes, and his Blues career lasted only one year.
The fifth is Sidwell, who was another challenger to Chelsea's No.9 in the 07/08 season, and was expected to play as a midfielder, but made just 25 appearances in the year, a world away from when he was playing. Scolari then took charge of Chelsea, Sidwell spent just one season with the Blues before being purged by the new Brazilian boss and was sold by Chelsea in the summer of 2008, before Sidwell returned to his best form at Villa Park.
The sixth was Di Santo, who became the sixth owner of Chelsea's no.9 during the local tyranny era, and the Argentine talent was ambitious when he joined the Blues, but he didn't expect to have no chance to perform under Scolari until he left Chelsea two years later, making just eight appearances and failing to score in his Blues career.
The seventh is Fernando Torres, who in 2009/10 had no one in the Chelsea squad to wear the number 9 shirt, and in the middle of the 2010/11 season, Fernando Torres switched to Chelsea for a staggering £50 million. In the Atletico Madrid, Liverpool era, Torres was a famous goal machine. As the main striker of the Spanish team, after joining Chelsea, Torres was completely lost, leaving people with the impression of facing Manchester United's classic empty goals, 24-hour goal drought, left-back and so on. The former golden boy and genius have been reduced to second-rate at Chelsea. Torres has scored just 45 goals in 172 appearances for the Blues, which is not at all on the same level as his 81 goals in 142 games under Liverpool.
The eighth was Falcao, but sadly the no.9 curse continued, with just 12 appearances during his time at the Blues, netting only a consolation goal against Crystal Palace and returning to Monaco after a season after most of his stay on the sickbed. However, after returning to Ligue 1, Tiger Page immediately regained its form, and led Monaco to the semi-finals of last year's Champions League with new star Mbappe!
