Chapter 119: Character Genius

After Drogba made a declaration of victory, he left with a black face, and Andy Lau's hair was still slippery, but his expression was a little stiffer.

Immediately behind Drogba is Anelka, the last game between the two teams Anelka was banned and could only appear in the stands, and now he is back from the ban, and he will also form a forward double arrow with Drogba in this game.

This is also Grant's biggest reliance, the back line will inevitably decline because of Terry's absence due to injury, but the knife on the offensive end has become sharper, and it can be regarded as a loss of the east corner and a gain.

When an Italian reporter interviewed Anelka about the match, the Frenchman said affectionately and indifferently: "Want to interview me? Don't know the rules? ”

The reporter's face suddenly looked as if he had eaten stool, and suddenly remembered that Anelka's strange brother had once set a rule, and it would cost 100,000 pounds to harvest Anelka.

Watching Anelka float past him, the Italian reporter wasted a long time of his strength before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "It's really unwelcome!" ”

Anelka is this person, after more than ten years of career, people's definition of Anelka has been from the top of the brain to the soles of the feet, all of which are plastered with the same signs one by one: bad boys!

But what is surprising is that no matter how bad this guy is, there are still a group of people who like to pursue him, just like these journalists.

If a person is defined as a "bad boy" in life, then that person is most likely unpopular. But if there is a player on the football field who is called a "bad boy", then the fans' evaluation of him is basically divided in two, and even likes more than hate.

Since Cantona conquered the whole of England with the image of a "bad boy", he has no shortage of descendants, including Keane, Smith and others have the title of "bad boy".

Anelka, on the other hand, seems to have learned from his predecessors, earning him the nickname "Bad Boy" for something even more out of the ordinary, showing his character by his shocking refusal to be selected for the French team.

Before the 1998 Shijie Cup in France, Cantona announced his retirement from the national team, and before the 2002 Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, Keane withdrew from the Irish national team.

In fact, long before Cantona, Cruyff, Gullit and other big names set a precedent. Cruyff and Gullit quit because they were dissatisfied with the coach's tactical play, Cantona quit because he knew he didn't have a place in Jacques's French team, and Keane quit because he was dissatisfied with Ireland coach McCarthy's preparations.

They have a history of success and prestige both at club and national level, so it is understandable. Anelka refused Santini's temporary call-up because he was dissatisfied that he could not play the main team, which was his selfish intention.

If Anelka is contacted because of the discord with the club and coach due to the transfer and style of play between Arsenal and Real Madrid, he is considered a "bad boy".

However, compared to his predecessors, Anelka was only 22 years old when he made a mistake, and it was a bit presumptuous to quit the national team so early, and losing the opportunity to participate in the European Cup and Shijie Cup was the biggest regret of the player, but by the time he regretted it, it was already too late.

Controversy has always accompanied Anelka's career, unruly, withdrawn and arrogant, because he has almost never been at peace with a manager.

Anelka, who came from French club Paris Saint-Germain and was bought by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in 1996 for a bargain price, became a regular at the age of 19. Anelka won the Premier League Young Player of the Year award in 1999, and it is no exaggeration to say that Arsene Wenger is Anelka's Bole. It was after Anelka was brought to Arsenal by Arsene Wenger that he fully showed his talent and became a hot new star.

However, due to his youthful ambition, Nicolas Anelka has often publicly stated that he wants to leave the team, and a number of big clubs such as Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid have offered the Frenchman.

In the summer of 1999, Anelka and his mentor, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, were at odds over the transfer issue, and Wenger's famous quote "No matter how rich you are, you can only eat three meals a day and sleep in one bed" was used to criticize Anelka. But Anelka insisted on leaving and attacked Arsene Wenger for thwarting his football dreams. In this way, the former master and apprentice became a pair of "enemies". According to French media, Anelka teamed up with his brother and agent to fight against the team for a high transfer commission.

After Anelka transferred to Real Madrid at a high price in 1999, Anelka has not been able to perform after transferring to Real Madrid, but he often creates right and wrong off the field, and many Real Madrid fans accuse Anelka's performance of not matching his value.

Among them, former Spain national team coach Clement criticized: "The money used to buy Anelka is more valuable to use for charity." ”

Although they scored an important away goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich and eventually won the event, the other games were lackluster.

Playing 35 times in a season, scoring only four goals, Zuihou Anelka was also sold back to the French Football League by Real Madrid for £20 million due to his poor performance.

After the incident, Anelka blamed Bosque's tactical arrangements for him and the suppression of Real Madrid superstars such as Raul, but in fact, in the 1999/2000 season, Bosque led Real Madrid to win the Champions League under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and Anelka's poor form was more due to his own reasons than Bosque's misemployment.

Anelka, who returned to Paris Saint-Germain, had mixed performances before returning to the Premier League on loan at Liverpool in December 2001 until the end of the season.

He joined City for £13 million in January 2002 and in October 2004 he scored a penalty to help City beat Chelsea 1-0, winning the Premier League for the first time that season, but it was also the latter's only defeat in the league that season.

After three seasons, he moved to Turkish Super League club Fenerbahce for £7 million in January 2005. He then joined Bolton Wanderers at the start of the 2006 season for a club-record £8 million and returned to the Premier League on a four-year contract.

Zuihou, the story brings Anelka to Chelsea again.

At Chelsea, as before, Anelka's relationship with Grant has been similarly unfriendly, as Anelka is often deployed in a winger position that he does not like.

At Chelsea, the centre-forward position belongs to Didier Drogba, with Nicolas Anelka having to step aside.

It's just surprising that the unruly Anelka targeted Grant with his attack, but he became very good friends with Drogba, which is also the reason why Weishenme, who has been in the team for a few months, has never broken out.

As at club, Anelka's relationship with the manager was strained at the national team, and after France won the 2000 European Championships, Anelka had a poor relationship with then-French coach Le Maire and missed out on the 2002 Shijie Cup. At first, Anelka and Lemaire also had a good relationship, shortly before the start of the '02 Shijie Cup. broke the news that the relationship between the two was not good, and the reason for the discord was also that Anelka did not listen to the coach's tactical arrangements. In the end, in the 23-man squad of the Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, Lemaire abandoned Anelka and chose Cisse, of course, Anelka's poor form became the best reason for Lemaire to abandon him.

In September 2002, when Santini was in charge of the French team, Anelka was called up in the middle of the game when there were no players available, but the latter flatly refused, and the French Football Federation threatened to impose a global ban on Anelka.

After some time, the French team wanted to recall Anelka again, but asked him to Daoqian to Santini. Anelka actually said: "Unless he kneels in front of me and says to me first." ”

Santini's answer a week later was also-for-tat: "Whether Anelka plays with his left foot or with his right foot, I don't care anymore, there are 1,200 professional players in France, if there is one I would never consider, it is Anelka!" ”

In 2006, then-France coach Domenech even preferred to use Govu rather than call Anelka when Cisse broke his leg.

Because of his poor relationship with the manager, Anelka was constantly used as a bargaining chip by the team and became the object of sale. He made his debut at Paris Saint-Germain and played for seven teams before coming to Chelsea: Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Fenerbahce and Bolton.

However, I have to admit that the goalscorer who has won the Premier League Golden Boot award has an amazing ability to attract gold. In January 2008, Chelsea paid £15 million to buy Anelka from Bolton, which set a new record for the Frenchman at the time, with a total transfer fee of £85 million for multiple transfers, the highest figure in football history, which shows that he is not well received by the team and that he is a money-making machine.

In addition to the ability to absorb gold, despite the rave reviews of Anelka over the years, it has always been paid attention to, because of his ability, Anelka became famous very early, his characteristics are extremely fast, shooting feeling good, height, first-class footwork, but a little unique, and relatively arrogant, a bit of a feeling of no one in sight.

Compared with his contemporary, the leading French striker Thierry Henry, Anelka's speed is on par with Henry's, and his personality is not as good as Henry's, Anelka's shots are very powerful in high-speed movements, and Henry is more adept at curling balls to the far post.

Flexibility, flexibility, balance, and balance of the feet are indistinguishable.

Anelka's jishu is better when he is in possession of the ball and rarely concedes the ball. When it comes to breaking through with acceleration, Henry is even better.

Thierry Henry's ability to take chances in front of goal is top-notch, and the Premier League's top scorer for several years in a row is not for nothing, while Nicolas Anelka is a little less efficient in comparison, sometimes relying too much on individual ability and taking chances.

Henry has more work at his feet, Anelka is more stable at his feet, he can control the ball with both feet, and both of them are first-class masters when they break through, and their headers are both weaknesses, compared to Henry, who is even slightly stronger.

Set-pieces naturally favoured Thierry Henry, with Anelka being the better runner.

In terms of team-mates, Thierry Henry prefers to play a Zuihou pass in front of goal after most of the work, while Nicolas Anelka can also make a straight pass with wide vision when he retreats into midfield.

In terms of playing style, Henry is more aesthetic and artistic, he always wants to make it as beautiful as possible, and he does it, living up to the reputation of the King of Highbury. Anelka is more cold-blooded, more murderous, he can do beautifully, but he never seeks to be beautiful, he seeks to seal his throat with a sword.

If Anelka had to sum it up, this guy is a lone wolf who is more cold-blooded than Romario, not only on the pitch, but also in life.

Looking at Anelka's face, you can feel a very obvious adjective indifference!

The reporters certainly couldn't let Anelka leave so easily, and soon before the Chelsea team boarded the bus, the reporters surrounded Anelka.

Anelka, who was pestered and a little impatient, was obviously angry, especially when asked by a reporter how to evaluate Digan, Anelka's face was clearly full of disdain and annoyance: "Digan? I know that kid, but I don't understand, what achievements he can be called Shijie's first striker, what he does, I'm already tired of it! ”

Tired of it!?

The first reaction of the reporters was to say nothing, but after careful calculation, the league champion, Anelka, the Champions League, Anelka, and even Anelka still have the title of European Cup.

And Anelka has traveled all over France, England, Spain, and Turkey, although he is like a vagabond, but he also has a very rich resume.

It's always the reporters who do good things, and Anelka looks down on Degan, so of course they have to run to Degan to make a small report at the first time, like a group of dogs.

"You're talking about Nicholas. Anelka!? Degan's facial expression was wonderful, "Isn't that guy retired yet?" ”

No way!

The reporters were excited, they were now eager to rush to Anelka's face for Digan, and threw this sentence in Anelka's face, you look down on Digan, but Digan doesn't even know what your old man does, how can this compare!

In short, Degan has completely blown up Chelsea's two major strikers in the bickering link.

The bickering is over, and then it's time to fight hard, no matter how lively the words are, the outcome of the football game is still the 90 minutes on the football field.
