213. Lose your heart and go crazy
Bet? Joke!
Journalists are also well aware that they are looking at Villa with a magnifying glass, especially in the context of a black hole of Spanish players such as AC Milan, and the "goal drought" itself is a gimmick, although this "goal drought" has only lasted for three official games, and one of them has been a substitute......
If you put aside the position of Espanyol as a striker, as well as the hat of "Shevchenko's successor" automatically installed by the outside world, and the high transfer price, Villa's role on the field cannot be ignored...... He often drops back to get the ball and helps the team to connect in midfield; He is diligent in running and interspersing, even when he is off the ball, he can cover or pull for his teammates; What's more, the Spaniard has played very team-based so far, and even under the constant observation of the outside media, he still handles the ball as reasonably as possible, and if he finds a teammate who has a better chance than him, Villa will always send the ball out as soon as possible......
These are roles that can be ignored by the media, but which the managers of the teams have to pay attention to......
The most valuable thing is that David Villa's mentality is still stable, and he has not become frizzy on the field because of the criticism of "not scoring" from the outside world, so anyone with some professional vision understands that Villa is a player who can gain a foothold in Serie A sooner or later, or he can't stand shoulder to shoulder, but he can become another Villa, you must know that AC Milan is not a team that relies on a single person's firepower to support, and the offensive finisher has ......
Do those sports journalists really not have this kind of professional vision? Not really! It's just that for such a player, how can you fill so many pages without being nitpicky?
So it's not fun to bet on it at all, it's a difficult question about what to bet on...... The number of goals? Fixed cycle, fixed quantity, this is a headache, this thing can create a bigger gimmick, but there are too many variables, in this sports world where there are changes every day, the shelf life of gimmicks is very short. As for the goal, people are doing a good job, but you just ignore it.
So, a certain reporter who threw out the question simply used the thick-skinned blind listening method, and without answering, he hid in the crowd again.
However, things in this world are like this, there are those who don't take the bait, and naturally there are those who take the bait, such as Ibu, who never speaks through the brain......
Zlatan Bongsian Ibrahimovic, this classmate has an old grudge against Milan, and his former teammate Van der Vaart, who had a tense relationship with him, transferred to Milan, and in the group stage of the Champions League last season, the dissatisfied Fengxian wanted to take the opportunity of the match to suppress Rafaeljun's prestige, but he didn't want him to score one, and they responded with a two-shot and one-pass, and after the game, Ibrahimovic's face was blackened......
Of course, at that time, Ajax's strength really couldn't give more support to Ibu's classmates, just like without Chitu's Fengxian, it was difficult to fight, so when Moggie invited him to Turin in the summer, Ibu decided without hesitation.
Facing AC Milan again, Ibrahimovic's blood was burning all over his body, and Jiang Qi's "fishhook" at the press conference was bitten by him neatly.
As one of the high-profile new signings in Serie A, Ibrahimovic gave an exclusive interview to Italian national television after the first game against Brescia, and when talking to the host about his impressions of several Serie A giants, Ibrahimovic pouted disdainfully, "Milan's manager is very discerning? Just one season's performance can determine whether a player is successful or not? ”
Faced with this situation, the host naturally couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked the reason......
"Quite simply, at least he didn't choose me." Ibrahimovic's answer was more blunt.
"What do you think of David Villa?" , the host strikes while the iron is hot.
"I heard that the manager is quite confident in the players he has chosen, and he wants to bet on people......" Ibrahimovic pouted again, "Actually, I also like to bet with others." ”
"You mean to say that you are willing to take Jiang's bet?"
"I don't even know what he wants to bet on. What if it's less than whom? This sentence sounds ridiculous on the outside, but it is clearly a provocation on the inside.
"It's unlikely, what if you were to make a bet with rules for winning or losing?"
"At the end of the season, whoever scores more goals wins, it's as simple as that!"
……
When Ibrahimovic's interview aired, it was like a pebble thrown into the lake.
"Juventus' new signings openly invite Milan coach"
"Mr.J: Please receive the declaration of war from the Swedish Divine Tower"
…… For a while, the photos and words of the disturbing Swedes filled the front pages of major sports media, but Jiang Qi remained surprisingly silent.
Especially compared with Juventus's three-goal away win over Brescia in the first game, coupled with Ibrahimovic's provocation, Jiang Qi was silent, as if to indicate that the pattern of Serie A will change this season, the old lady will rise again, and the new hegemon AC Milan is lacking in confidence.
In the second round, Juventus returned to Alpi to face Atalanta, and the result was self-evident, with a score of 4:0 that Capello was once again unanimously praised by the media, among which Ibrahimovic scored two goals, plus a goal in the previous round, and the performance of three goals in two rounds opened amazingly...... As for AC Milan, Bologna won another 1-0 goal, the goal was scored by Super Pippo, and Villa came off the bench to make no achievements.
But at the press conference after the second round, Jiang Qi suddenly responded to Ibrahimovic's challenge in the face of reporters' questions.
"It's too long in a season, so it's better to compare the number of goals scored in the first five rounds."
After this sentence was said, everyone was stunned, you must know that the Serie A league has been played for two rounds, and now the Swedes have scored three goals, and there are only three rounds of games left...... But the young head nodded again calmly and repeated his words.
The plot has a divine twist, and the repercussions are even greater than after Ibrahimovic's interview came out the week before, and it is almost like tons of explosives thrown down from the air.
"Gowa, are you sure he didn't say this with a fever?" This was Ibrahimovic's first reaction.
Of course, after he confirmed the source, he habitually pouted, "Although this bet seems a little boring, I still want to see him take the initiative to admit defeat." ”
This is a 90% probability of losing, not only the media, but also many players or coaches interviewed think so, only Juventus's new coach Capello frowned after hearing it and did not say anything.
However, because of this bet, the attention of the league has been increased by at least 50%, and everyone is waiting for the early arrival of the fourth round, Juventus will meet AC Milan in Turin!
There's nothing more exciting than a face-to-face battle between the two sides of a bet.
