Chapter 72: The Delusion of the Triple Crown
There are more than a dozen rounds left in the league.
With Yelo's goal efficiency.
Even if you score 60 goals in a season.
Break the old record that is more than 90 years away from now.
It doesn't have to be impossible.
However, if Ye Luo really breaks this record.
That's going to shake the whole world.
Because in this day and age, sixty goals are scored in a single season.
It's more than an order of magnitude larger than it was 90 years ago.
If the current record is a pyramid.
Ninety years ago, he also scored 60 goals, which can only be regarded as a small stone pile.
Because.
At that time of the 1927-1928 season.
Football is not as mature as it is now.
In the beginning.
Football is a very chaotic and unnecessary sport.
For a team, it is necessary to score as many goals as possible during the game.
There was no organisation in the team, and football was a sport where everyone chased the ball together and ran around and then snatched shots.
In 1863, it was still a year of abundance.
The FA was the first to introduce the rules of dating.
The rule was that any player in front of the kicker was in an offside position, and the offside player was not allowed to touch the ball.
Check it out now.
This rule is obviously very unreasonable.
Because any forward pass is impossible for a player to catch the ball.
How can this be played?
Therefore.
As soon as this rule came out.
Football becomes a sport of dribbling.
It was also unprecedentedly difficult to score goals.
So this unreasonable rule was quickly changed.
The offside rule was amended to say that there must be at least three opposing players between the attacking player and the goal line when the ball is passed (by a team-mate).
It is based on this rule.
A lot of football tactics came into being.
The setting of various locations is also beginning to have its rationality and necessity.
The 1-1-8 formation started to develop into a 2-2-6 formation.
In the end, it evolved into the 2-3-formation that was most suitable for this rule, which was the so-called WM formation in ancient times.
The Uruguay team, the first World Cup champion in history, used this formation to win the World Cup.
The formation kept the attacking dynamics alive, feeding the three strikers in the middle with two wide players. However, due to the offside rules at the time, it was still not easy to score goals in this formation.
For the purpose of enhancing the spectacle of football and encouraging goals.
The offside rule was changed again in 1925 when the previous rule of three players became two. This significantly boosted the number of goals scored in the game.
Dixideon scored sixty goals in the 1927-28 season and had nothing to do with the change in the rules. At that time, the defense was far less tight and varied than it is now.
That's why the number of goals scored in football is getting fewer and fewer these days.
Modern football has taken defence to the extreme, and it has become easier to score goals, and world-class goalscorers who can score five or six goals in an international tournament are considered top scorers.
In this case.
Ye Luo goes against the trend of the times.
There were so many goals.
I have to say that this is quite a remarkable achievement.
Of course.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can also maintain such goal efficiency in La Liga.
But everyone thinks it's because La Liga's defense is not so tight, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are completely crushed when facing most La Liga teams.
And the Premier League as a whole is stronger - if nothing else, the relegation team can spend 10 million or 20 million euros to buy people.
This is unthinkable in La Liga,
To know.
Some La Liga relegation teams.
Even paying the entry fee of more than one million euros per season in La Liga cannot be paid and may be forced to withdraw from La Liga.
"In the same era as Ye Luo, I don't know if it's our luck or misfortune. Of course happy for the fans, they saw the birth of a great player, but not necessarily for the players"
Dean's record could have been broken by Yelo this season, with over 60 goals in the Premier League in one season. This would have been unimaginable a year ago, but it's happening step by step."
All the media are wailing.
Wailing that the Premier League is about to be ruled by a guy from the Dragon Kingdom.
All of England.
and all of them will crouch at the feet of this terrible dragon of the dragon kingdom.
After beating Liverpool at home.
Manchester City and Manchester United also beat their respective opponents in quick succession.
In fact, excluding Arsenal.
Manchester United and Manchester City have also performed quite well.
Especially Manchester United.
In fact, in addition to losing to Arsenal, they lost six points.
The points they have taken against other teams.
Just three points less than Arsenal.
If it was before.
Manchester United's title winning is hardly something to discuss.
But now
Judging by the current trend.
Manchester United are likely to set an embarrassing record.
That's the league with the highest score in history.
Of course.
It is also possible that this record belongs to Manchester City.
The current fans of Manchester United and Manchester City finally know what it means to be "both Yu and Liang".
After the end of this game.
The Champions League quarter-finals are set to take place in two weeks' time.
And in the meantime, Arsenal have to play two games a week.
The first is the League Cup.
In the Carabao Cup three days later.
There was a large rotation, and even Yelo did not make the squad for the game, Arsenal were eliminated by Newcastle.
The media in England did not pay much attention to this either.
Because everyone knows that Arsenal can't attack on every front.
They have to make trade-offs.
Compared to the league and the Champions League.
The League Cup is too chicken.
But then for Arsenal, it was another fierce battle!
And it's a double game a week.
The first is the FA Cup against West Ham United.
Then there's the league, playing Everton.
Three days after playing Everton.
It's the Champions League
Home to Bayern Munich.
Arguably.
Arsenal can't relax for a moment.
Manchester United dropped the League Cup and FA Cup.
Jose Mourinho used the youth squad directly in these two games.
After the game.
Mourinho also bluntly said in the face of reporters' doubts that Manchester United should focus all its energy on the league!
"Do you think you still have a chance of winning the league?"
In the post-match press conference of Manchester United's FA Cup quarter-final defeat away to Chelsea.
Mourinho pouted: "Why not? We're just nine points behind. ”
He then stood up.
Turn away.
Jose Mourinho saw Arsene Wenger send some of his squad in the FA Cup and even brought Yelo on the pitch.
He knew it.
Arsene Wenger has fantasies.
The fantasy of the Triple Crown.
Mourinho thinks it's a fantasy.
He doesn't think that with the depth of Arsenal's squad, he can achieve all three championships in the league, Champions League and FA Cup.
But he was in favor of Arsene Wenger to do so.
Because he needs these games to consume Arsenal.
Manchester United are chasing Arsenal.
The only hope is for Arsenal to collapse on their own. (End of chapter)
