'Kissing the ass of a donkey' is actually an allusion, and if there are Chinese fans who are familiar with basketball here, they will definitely understand the meaning of this sentence.

On November 17, 2002, before Yao Ming made his debut for the Rockets with the Lakers, "Big Mouth" Barkley made a bet with his partner Kenny Smith on the "Barkley Talk Show" on TNT TV in the United States, Barkley said that if Yao Ming could score 19 points in a game, he would kiss a donkey's butt, and Yao Ming quickly made Barkley "dream come true" with his own appearance.

In O'Neal's absence, Yao Ming scored 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting, allowing Barkley, who underestimated himself, to kiss the donkey's ass firmly.

At the beginning of his entry into the NBA, Yao Ming's personal ability was questioned by some so-called "NBA experts" in the United States.

In fact, Barkley didn't want to kiss the ass of a donkey, and people who didn't know English spread like that.

ass is the meaning of donkey, but in colloquial language, it means butt, that is, Barkley originally made a bet to kiss the ass, but when the bet was lost, people wanted to be embarrassed for Barkley, and deliberately made a literal fuss, so it became a pro-donkey ass.

The surrounding British journalists were unaware of this allusion, but they also knew that 'kissing the ass of a donkey' was an absolute insult.

This is a good bet!

Several reporters were immediately excited. They immediately felt that it was a good choice to wait here for an interview with Wan Sheng, although this Chinese has a very different personality, but there is always big news around him.

Wan Sheng didn't think so.

He is the anti-general Erikson and the army. Didn't the other party think he was a soft persimmon and had to knead it twice? Then make a bet, the other party does not dare to accept the natural is equivalent to showing weakness, and then public opinion will definitely be on their side, if they take it, then this is almost a winning gamble.

In fact, Wan Sheng did not hate the England team, on the contrary, he supported the England team in his previous life.

As a young man who has grown up across the world, many Chinese fans support the England team. Because at the beginning of the world, the England team with many stars is indeed popular. But the England team is like the Chinese team in Europe, and this analogy is really not bad at all, they just have the world's most luxurious squad, but they can't play at all. At the beginning of the 21st century, the results of the England team were better, at least they could be regarded as a world powerhouse, and they could reach the quarterfinals and the round of 16 every time, and in 2010, they were even eliminated directly in the group stage of the World Cup, not only the World Cup, but even the qualifiers were very difficult, in short, the results of the England team were very inconsistent with their name. It is precisely because of this that many England fans have been disappointed, and Wan Sheng has also been disappointed for the England team. So he knows very well that this team can't play well.

There are many reasons for this.

The biggest problem for this England team now is the compatibility of the 'double German', Frank Lampard and Gerrard have to play every time, but the two will play at the same time and the position will be repeated, this problem has been continued until Capello is in charge to solve it slightly, but at that time the England team has been dragged down by the 'technical roughness', with the departure of David Beckham, Michael Owen and other star players. There are no more outstanding players in the England squad.

In short, England is a good example of a good squad and poor results.

In Wansheng's impression, England has not been satisfied with a single result. It means that neither the European Cup nor the World Cup have ever reached the final four.

But in others it is different.

There are only 16 teams in the European Championship, divided into four groups to compete against each other, and qualifying is directly to the quarterfinals, England only need to win one knockout game to qualify for the semi-finals, they believe that for the current all-star England team, it is not a big deal to reach the semi-finals, their goal can only be the championship.

So when several reporters heard Wan Sheng's words, they all felt that he was about to lose face.

Among them, there are reporters who have a bad impression of Wan Sheng, and they sneered in their hearts, he can't wait to see Wan Sheng make a fool of himself, of course, more reporters all look at things from a neutral point of view, they just think that this news is worth reporting.

Eriksen, who was rejoicing in the 3-0 win over Switzerland, soon got the news.

"Can't get into the top four pro-donkey butts?"

After several reporters relayed Wan Sheng's words, Eriksen suddenly felt that he couldn't get off the stage, and the current situation is that he accepts that the gamble is completely useless, and he must not accept the gamble in the eyes of others It must be unconfident, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

He secretly regretted what he was talking about

Originally, things had calmed down, the young Chinese man didn't speak anymore, and the matter passed in the past, but he had to sarcastically mock the other party more, now it's okay, the other party is just a thorn! This kind of gambling is really no good for the two of them, even if the other party really kisses the donkey's buttocks, it is not good for the other party, who wants to do this kind of thing, but there is no way, Eriksen can only grit his teeth and agree, "I am confident that I will lead the team to the final four, which is not difficult for us"

"So he's just waiting to kiss the donkey's butt!"

Erikson was full of faith.

In fact, he still has some confidence, according to the rules of the European Cup group confrontation, the first in Group A will play against the second in Group B, and the second in Group A will play against the first in Group B, that is to say, England may meet three opponents in the quarterfinals, one is the host Portugal or Spain, and the other is likely to be Greece, because Greece has just defeated Portugal, so their qualifying form shì is very good.

Of the three teams, Spain is the strongest, and Portugal is also a difficult bone to gnaw as the host, but England still has some certainty against these two teams. If Group A is really Greece's qualification, then it would be great to meet Greece in the quarterfinals, which means that England can safely enter the semi-finals.

Erikson judged in his heart. The team has at least a 75% chance of reaching the final four.

Since the young Chinese wants to be a hedgehog, then he will use a thick defense, and let him pierce himself in turn, and the killer can also show him, Swedish star coach Eriksen is not everyone who can come over and say a few words.

The bet between the two quickly became the focus of much European media coverage, with England already one of the most talked-about teams, even more so than hosts Portugal. It was definitely big news that Eriksen and the Chinese head coach of the domestic team had quarreled to such an extent, and everyone listened to the news with great interest.

There are also many media outlets in China that have reported the news.

Some Chinese England fans said. "Wan Sheng is really going to kiss the donkey's ass this time!" They think it will be difficult for England to win the title, but there is no problem with the top four, but more people are in favor of Wan Sheng. After all, there will always be more 'non-England fans' than 'England fans', and if you don't support the England team, you will naturally support the victory that can break into the sky in European football as a compatriot.

However, Wan Sheng was not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time.

There has been new news from the club in the transfer deal, Derby County and Everton have reached a transfer agreement for Cahill, and the final transfer price is fixed at 9.2 million pounds, due to the club's financial problems, Derby County demand to pay the money in full, and after the full payment, Cahill will belong to Everton.

Wan Sheng was not surprised to get the news. The only surprise is Cahill's value, £9.2 million is not a small number, it is enough money to buy a well-known star. He had thought it would be nice for Cahill to sell for the £8 million that the media had estimated.

But when you think about Cahill's table last season, Wan Sheng is relieved.

Cahill has not only had a good table in the league, but also scored against Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham City in the FA Cup, which proves that he can play well in the Premier League, and his goal scoring efficiency is very high, and the other numbers are perfect. Even in the team, it is rare to show the ability to defend the team, in short, such an all-round and efficient striker. Everton naturally wanted to bring in such a striker.

In fact, there is another reason why Everton are eager to buy the striker - their board of directors have decided to sell the team's signature new star Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney's name has always been associated with Manchester United, and since March this year, the two have often appeared together in media reports, which shows that Ferguson is imperative for Rooney, and it is difficult for Everton to keep Rooney, so it is better to take advantage of the European Cup, Rooney's value has risen and he will sell it for a large transfer fee.

Rooney's value is still very high, not how high his ability is, in fact, Wan Sheng is very clear that the current Rooney's ability has not reached the highest, and the evaluation of Rooney by the football training master system is just 'yellow (above 80)', not to the point of 'purple' (above 90), but Rooney's potential is really good, and he is definitely a superstar-level player in the future.

Half of Rooney's worth is reflected in commercial value.

Wayne Rooney is a pure English player, and has now become a star often reported by the English media, he is the darling of the English media, he has a considerable number of fans at a young age, his commercial value is very high, at the same age and strength, other players can have half the value of Rooney.

Since the decision was made to sell Rooney, it was definitely a sky-high deal, at least it would be no problem for a player like Cahill to buy two or three, so Everton did not entangle with Derby County anymore and directly agreed to the transfer.

Cahill is now officially moving to Everton.

Cahill's move has brought £9.2 million to the Derby County club, which is enough money for Wan Sheng to splurge a little in the transfer market.

During the break between the group stage matches in England, many media outlets in England reported on Cahill's transfer, which is a heavyweight transfer of nearly 10 million pounds, although Cahill is somewhat unknown and has not even appeared in the top flight, but no one thinks that Cahill is incompetent, he is just the kind of player who is buried in the lower leagues.

Now he finally stands out.

The media for Derby County is all about the loss of Derby County, and as a promoted team, it is not a good sign to sell their star when they come up. Previously, Wan Sheng said in the interview column that the team's goal is to fight for a place in European competitions, and some media also criticized Wan Sheng for this, "Come up and sell the star of the house? Derby still want to compete for a European spot? What a joke! ”

"That Chinese is just talking big!"

"This transaction also proves it. It's really hard for Derby County to keep a star player! ”

'Other clubs can also be carved up by Derby County, they have a lot of good players like France's Franco-Frank Ribery, fantastic young full-back Leiton Bynes and their core Lee Morris is also quite a quality player.

“”

Ignoring these reports, Cahill's transfer away he had long thought of while the other players. Like Ribery and Morris, they are definitely not leaving. The club has completed the contract extension for them, and he, the player, the president of the club, and the general manager have all agreed that they will not sell these players and the players will not transfer away. So he didn't worry about anything at all.

He also got other news.

Before Wan Sheng left the club, he asked the club's scouts to check on the current situation of several future superstars, along with the news that Cahill had completed the transfer.

Podolski is a Polish football talent, but he has dual German and Polish citizenship, and he is now the darling of the German media, the youngest talent of the German team, and the treasure of the Cologne club.

In such an environment, Podolsky did not leave Cologne on his own initiative. Cologne would never have sold Podolsky.

Of course, there is no 'not for sale' in the world of football, and Podolski is worth around £5 million. The key is that it will not be easy to convince Podolski to come to the Premier League to play for a promoted team, and the young talent has no plans to leave Germany at the moment.

Torres don't have to count on.

Last season, the 19-year-old scored 19 league goals in 35 league appearances for Atletico Madrid, becoming the club's youngest captain. Atletico Madrid will never sell such a player.

The same. It is unlikely that Torres, who is thriving in football, will be able to convince him to play in England.

It was Van Persie and Van der Vaart who had a chance.

Van Persie, who currently plays for Feyenoord, broke with manager Van Marwijk last season and was confined to the bench for most of the game, scoring just six goals in 33 appearances in all competitions, and Van Persie refused to renew Feyenoord's contract.

The relationship between the two sides has been completely broken, and Feyenoord has begun to actively peddle Van Persie.

The problem now is that Derby County will face competition with Arsenal, and Van Persie prefers Arsenal, who are a big club after all, but with the transfer funds from the sale of Cahill, Derby County are considering raising their offer.

On this point, Wilcox still has to consult Wansheng.

"If you can buy Van Persie for 9.2 million pounds, it will definitely be a great transfer and he will be even better than Cahill!"

Wan Sheng replied.

In fact, due to the break between Van Persie and Feyenoord, Feyenoord is eager to sell Van Persie, so Van Persie's value is not high, around 3 million pounds, but the main problem is that Derby County has to face competition with Arsenal, and the final decision on the transfer is still in the hands of Van Persie himself, this competition is very difficult, Derby County to impress Feyenoord club, but also to impress Van Persie.

Another promising one is Van der Vaart.

In fact, Van der Vaart is in much better shape than Van Persie, the 21-year-old is already captain of Ajax, and after Zivo left Ajax last season, Van der Vaart dropped back to take on the defensive role in midfield and scored 11 goals at all levels.

As a defensive midfielder, this kind of table is quite dazzling.

Originally, the Derby County club thought that there was no chance to win Van der Vaart, after all, Van der Vaart is the captain of Ajax, such players generally do not leave the team lightly, Ajax is a European giant, the leader of the Dutch league, they were also the Dutch champions last season, and they can also participate in the Champions League this season, which is much stronger than Derby County.

The captain of Ajax, how could he leave Ajax for Derbyshire?

But after the scout contacted Van der Vaart's agent, the other party said that Van der Vaart also had the intention to leave, because Van der Vaart can only play defensive midfielders at Ajax, and he prefers to play as a shadow striker, but at Ajax, this is impossible, Van der Vaart must play defensive midfielder if he wants to start, and he is the captain of the team and cannot change positions lightly.

In this case, Van der Vaart was a little tempted to leave.

However, if you want to get Van der Vaart, Derby County has little hope, mainly to say that Van der Vaart himself, there is no problem in terms of transfer fees.

After thinking about it, Wan Sheng decided to try it separately.

If he can convince either Van Persie or Van der Vaart, he won't have to worry about the attacking line for the new season.

The first thing to find is naturally Van der Vaart, Van der Vaart is a member of the Dutch national team, he himself is in Portugal to participate in the European Championship, and Van Persie has not been selected for the Dutch national team, it is not easy to find Van Persie, but Wan Sheng also let the club's scouts contact in advance and inquire more about the situation with the opposing agent.

In this way, the opportunities become much greater.

If the forward problem can be solved, most of the transfer work of Derby County in the new season will be solved, which is also the most important problem for Wansheng, after all, scoring goals is the guarantee of good results, and it is not easy for the forward line to play well, he does not want to lead the team for the first season, and can only fight for relegation.
