After the Champions League group stage, Liverpool ushered in the league rival Tottenham Hotspur, although Tottenham Hotspur had a bad start, only four losses, two draws and two wins, but their strength should not be underestimated, with Berbatov, Robbie Keane and other powerful stars, the attack power is second only to Liverpool among the 20 teams in the Premier League. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the face of Tottenham Hotspur, which is gradually recovering from form, Liverpool performed very well, they played steadily, fought with the opponent in the midfield, and did not let the opponent's striker directly face his defenders, Tottenham Hotspur had a bad start and was in urgent need of victory, failed in the patience competition with Liverpool, and was caught by Liverpool when attacking aggressively, Alonso counterattacked with a long pass, Chen Yu scored through two Tottenham defenders in a row, and took the lead for Liverpool. Then Liverpool played better and better, firmly grasped the initiative of the game, and scored two goals in a row at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, including Wallening and Benayoun, to extend the score to 3:0.

Tottenham finally came back from a big down and they fought back, with Robbie Keane pulling two goals back in the 65th and 83rd minutes, but in the end, they were too far behind and had to hate Anfield.

Liverpool is still leading the standings, but they did not throw off the chasers, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal also won all, especially Manchester United, after experiencing a bad start, with Ronaldo, Rooney's comeback, their form has come up, this round of 4:0 win Wigan Athletic, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez have scored, due to Chelsea's civil unrest and Arsenal is too young, now the Premier League title race has actually become a crimson battle between Liverpool and Manchester United.

The rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is not just on the pitch, they are still contenders off the pitch.

After the ninth round of the Premier League, FIFA announced the 2007 World Footballer of the Year shortlist in Switzerland. In this shortlist, the number of Italian players reached five, occupying the most places. France and England each have four finalists, and Chinese superstar Chen Yu is once again unsurprisingly in the squad.

In this list of up to 30 people, Chen Yu, Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi are undoubtedly the most shining names, and they are also the biggest favorites for this award.

In this list, there are 2 goalkeepers, 6 defenders, 13 midfielders and 9 forwards. Premier League giants Liverpool emerged as the biggest club winners in this selection, with a total of five players including favourite Chen Yu on the list, while La Liga champions Barcelo and last season's Champions League runners-up AC Milan also had four players selected. Premier League giants Manchester United only have Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad.

The final answer to the 2007 World Footballer of the Year will be revealed in Zurich on December 17, but the vast majority of people believe that Chen Yu's election will not have much suspense, and only Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo can compete with Chen Yu, and Kaka was directly defeated by Chen Yu in the Champions League, Ronaldo is Chen Yu's defeat in the Premier League, although Messi did not play directly with Chen Yu, but his results are not as good as Chen Yu, and the three competitors have fatal flaws, which is also the main reason why Chen Yu has become the favorite.

The odds of "World Footballer" offered by the Italian authoritative gambling company SNAI, Chen Yu is 1 to 1. The odds of 35 are far ahead, as the main contenders, Kaka and Messi are odds of 1 to 5, Gerrard and C-Ronaldo are only 1 to 7, and others such as Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic and others are above 1 to 10. Through the comparison of odds, it is not difficult to see that although Messi and C-Ronaldo have reached new career highs, they are far inferior to the Champions Cup winner and top scorer Chen Yu in terms of competitiveness in this award.

The famous British gambling company William Hill has also updated the odds of the "World Footballer of the Year" winner in a timely manner. At this odds, Chen Yu pays 1 to 1. The ultra-low odds of 18 have become the number one favorite, and as his competitors, C-Ronaldo's odds are 1 to 7, Messi's odds are 1 to 8, and other players such as Drogba, Gerrard, and Ronaldilio have reached more than 1 to 20.

Obviously, such a huge difference in payouts shows that Chen Yu is almost a sure thing to win the World Footballer, but Manchester United and Barcelona are not convinced, Manchester United coach Ferguson said that the best in the world is Ronaldo, although Ronaldo's Champions League results are not good, and he is not the top scorer, but Ronaldo is more contagious to play, in addition, Chen Yu lacks national team results, and it is a joke to be elected as the World Footballer.

And C himself never seems to think that Chen Yu is better than himself, when he asked him who is the best candidate for the world footballer, he said that he is the best candidate, and the other candidates are also excellent, but he is the best.

Barcelona's president Laburta believes that the best in the world cannot be measured by the championship alone, otherwise Ronaldo should not have won the World Footballer of the Year in 1997 Messi's kicking is pleasing to the eye, with great artistic appeal, he should be the best in the world.

And Milan coach Ancelotti suggested that a player should be comprehensively evaluated, the world number one should not be the first in a single event, he should be the first in all aspects, Chen Yu actually has a fatal flaw, this flaw is the results of the national team, it is inconceivable for a person who has never played a national team game to win the World Footballer of the Year, Chen Yu won the European Golden Ball Award, and Kaka won the World Footballer is reasonable, although Kaka lost to Chen Yu in the Champions League final.

Whether Manchester United, Barcelona and Milan are really unconvinced, or hyped, or do not want to weaken their morale in the subsequent league and Champions League battles, Liverpool obviously have no reason to remain silent.

Head coach Benitez strongly supported Chen Yu to be elected as the World Footballer, the reason has long been said to be rotten, Benitez just said again, "Actually, last year Chen Yu should have become the World Footballer, or won the European Golden Ball Award, at least he should get one, but the strong World Cup effect, so that Chen Yu can only give way to Cannavaro, I don't say that Cannavaro is not good enough, but Chen Yu's efforts have not been rewarded enough, this year is not a World Cup year, not a European Cup year, I can't figure out what else to prevent Chen Yu from winning the championship, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and even Ronaldinho and Drogba are all very good, but I want to say that it is a crime not to give Chen Yu the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. ”

The next day, Benitez's conversation was put in the most conspicuous position in the Times, and the editor-in-chief Thomson personally commented on it, counting the top ten advantages of Chen Yu's election, and cheering for Chen Yu.

At Liverpool's training base and Anfield stadium, Liverpool's fan organization Shankly's Soul also launched a campaign to support Chen Yu, and McKenna, the fan leader of Shankly's Soul, said in an interview with reporters: "Benitez is right, the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or are not given to Chen Yu is a crime, if this kind of contrary to common sense really happens, we will go to FIFA and France to protest, because that must be someone cheating, I know that many people are biased against Chinese, but we should not be biased against football." Chen Yu's football is the best football in the world, he is the best star Liverpool has ever played, he is unbeatable, no Kaka, Ronaldo Messi can compare with him......"

Unlike Ronaldo, Chen Yu did not make any comments on the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, and he just prevaricated with one sentence to the reporter's question, "This is not for me to decide, I can only decide the game on the field, not whether to be elected as the World Footballer." “

Chen Yu said very indifferently, it seems that he doesn't take the name of World Footballer to heart, but in fact he cares a lot, he can't not care, after winning the league and the Champions League, the World Cup and the World Footballer, the European Golden Ball Award is the biggest motivation for his efforts, he needs to be recognized by the world, as long as he doesn't get this award, it means that he is not good enough, he needs to continue to work hard.

On the evening of the announcement of the World Footballer of the Year shortlist, in order to celebrate, Zhang Shubin, Zhao Muyu and Zhang Youzhen personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for Chen Yu, and called Sun Hai, Dongfang Zhuo, and Zheng Hua, who had just returned from the Myanmar qualifiers, to dine together.

"Isn't this too grand, I was selected last year, so there's no need to be so popular."

Chen Yu sniffed the fragrance of the vegetables, and rubbed his hands as he spoke, looking salivating.

Zhang Shubin smiled: "This year is different, last year you had almost no chance of winning the award, and this time, almost no one can compete with you." We congratulate them in advance, and we should also congratulate Sun Hai, Zheng Hua, and Dongfang on their return from the national team. “

Sun Hai said with a smile: "There's no need to congratulate us, it's a bloodless blade, Chen Yu must wish this in advance, so that we can eat more." “

"All to celebrate." Zhang Shubin opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai, handed it to Dongfang Zhuo, and said, "Dongfang, you pour it for everyone, you are happy today, drink a little." “

Dongfang Zhuo poured wine for Zhang Shubin, Chen Yu, Sun Hai, Zheng Huahe and himself, and shook the wine bottle, "Sister Muyu and Sister Youzhen also want to pour it?" “

Zhao Muyu waved his hand, raised the beer in front of him and said, "I drink beer with Sister Youzhen, and Moutai will save it for you." “

Sun Hai said with a smile: "I remember that Uncle Zhang still has a lot of Moutai in his house. “

Zhao Muyu pouted and said, "Where are the bottles, these are the last two bottles." “

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "Sun Hai, don't worry about my Moutai anymore, even if you have it, you can't drink more, just these two bottles will be divided equally between the four of you." “

Zheng Hua sighed: "For such a sumptuous dish, how can two bottles of Moutai be enough." “

Zhang Shubin said: "It's not enough to drink beer, there are only two bottles of liquor, you are professional players, you must know how to drink in moderation, and the future Chinese team still needs your support." “

Sun Hai said with a hippie smile: "The Chinese team has Chen Yu's support, let's drink more." “

Zhang Shubin said: "Football is not a one-person business, how much can Xiao Yu alone play a role." “

Zheng Hua said: "In Asia, even if we don't have Chen Yu, we can sweep Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, in the World Cup, even if we have it, it's useless, and no one can beat it anyway." “

Zhang Shubin smiled: "I think what you said is very reasonable, but you still can't drink too much wine." “

Sun Hai was already a little impatient, and said, "Let's start, or the cucumber dishes will be cold." “

Zhang Shubin said: "At the beginning, I will mention three wines, the first one is to congratulate Xiao Yu on being selected for the World Footballer of the Year candidate again, and hope that he can realize his dream this year." The second congratulates Sun Hai, Dongfang, and Zheng Hua on their return from the national team, and the third congratulates Mu Yu and Youzhen's business is getting more and more prosperous, come, do it! “

Zhang Shubin dried the glass of wine, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "It's all dry, eat vegetables, and the beer of Muyu and Youzhen is also dry." ”

Chen Yu, Zheng Hua, and Dongfang Zhuo all did it, and only Sun Hai said with words: "Three congratulations on drinking a glass of wine, every time it's like this, it's not a scene." ”

Zhang Shubin knocked Sun Hai's head with chopsticks, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you." ”

Sun Hai dried the wine in the cup, picked up a piece of crystal pork ribs with chopsticks, and said, "Whose craft is this, it looks delicious." ”

Chen Yu said: "Okay, don't pretend, every time you praise the young needle like this, it's not vulgar." ”

Zhang Youzhen said lightly: "What's wrong with vulgarity, I love to listen." ”

Sun Hai laughed and said, "Chen Yu, do you hear it, the young needle girl likes to listen." ”

Chen Yu sandwiched a chicken nugget and said, "You praise slowly, don't stop." ”

Zheng Hua also smiled: "Well, Brother Hai, you praise slowly, don't stop." ”

"Well, Brother Hai, you praise slowly, don't stop." Dongfang Zhuo was still chewing abalone in his mouth, but he grabbed a prawn with his chopsticks.

"Fool me."

Sun Hai was in a hurry, although there were many dishes, but the amount was small, and there were not many delicious ones, and if he didn't start, it would be gone, especially prawns, abalone or something, he quickly grabbed a few and put them in front of him.

Zhang Shubin saw that several young people had such a harmonious relationship, and he was very happy in his heart, after Chen Yu entered the national team, he also needed their help, relying on Chen Yu alone, it was impossible for the Chinese team to be reborn, thinking of this, Zhang Shubin asked: "Sun Hai, how do you feel about returning to China to compete this time, and what is the level of Forado?" ”

Sun Haidao: "Feeling? I don't feel it, he's also a pie talent, don't look at the 4:0 in Myanmar, that's Myanmar is too weak, even if our second team goes...... Well, I promise, more than we scored. ”

Everyone was amused by Sun Hai.

Chen Yu said: "What position are you playing this time?" ”

Sun Haidao: "What position?" Fullback, Zheng Hua back, Dongfang is still a striker, Forado has just taken office, and he will definitely not rashly change our position. ”

Zheng Hua said: "Actually, it's okay not to toss, everyone plays the position of the club, so that it is comfortable, we are actually not much worse than Japan and South Korea, but we are not confident, after having Chen Yu, ......"

Before Zheng Hua's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Youzhen, "I dare to say this shameless thing, it's not much worse than Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, it's much worse, you have won the Asian championship a few times, you have played a few World Cups, not to mention revenge against Iran, can you win South Korea once." ”

Chen Yu gave Zhang Youzhen a thumbs up and said, "I seriously support Youzhen, it's amazing, and now I'm all being nurtured into a pseudo-fan." ”

Zheng Hua was a little embarrassed, stopped talking, and just ate the vegetables with his head bored.

Sun Hai said with a smile: "Chen Yu, do you mean that the young needle girl is powerful or you are amazing, you don't have such a chance to create opportunities and boast about yourself, in fact, we are really not as bad as the fans imagined......"

Chen Yu said: "Boasting?!" Damn, you're talking about yourself. ”

Except for Sun Hai, everyone laughed, Zhang Shubin said: "No need to act, after Xiao Yu returns to the national team, we really have the capital to compete with Japan and South Korea, and the day when Chinese fans raise their eyebrows is not far away." ”

Chen Yu smiled contemptuously and said, "I didn't go back to dominate Asia and torture and kill Japan, South Korea, and Shai. ”

Dongfang Zhuo hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Yes, Brother Xiao Yu is going to rush out of Asia and enter the World Cup." ”

Chen Yu glanced at Dongfang Zhuo and said, "It's over when you enter the World Cup?" ”

Dongfang Zhuo said strangely: "That, what do you want to do if you don't finish?" ”

Sun Hai whispered an idiot, and then said: "What else do you want to do, Chen Yu will soon be the world footballer, what kind of gentleman is not to lead the Chinese team to the top 16, isn't it, Chen Yu." ”

Zheng Hua said: "The goal of the top 16 is not a little low, Chen Yu." ”

Dongfang Zhuo understood this time, and said: "It's a bit low, how can the top 16 match the identity of Mr. Xiao Yu, I think our goal should be the top 8." ”

Sun Haidao: "If we are as shameless as a stick, in fact, the top four also have a chance." ”

Chen Yu saw that the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "If you want to boast about yourself, you don't have to use me as a backdrop, I just said, in the World Cup, we have to win a game." ”
