Chapter Ninety-Three: Conspiracy Theories Never Go Out of Style

Arsenal's 4-1 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund coincided with a 3-2 home win over Marseille in fellow group Napoli.

As a result, Arsenal and Napoli are both in the top two of the group with 3 wins and 1 defeat in 4 games, while last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund have been squeezed into third place.

Borussia Dortmund will meet Napoli in the next round, and if they can win, they still have a good chance of qualifying.

Arsenal will meet Napoli again in the final round, when Dortmund will rely on Arsenal to help them snipe Napoli, so the atmosphere after the game is far less tense than before the game.

Some of the players from both sides had friendly conversations and even sent blessings to each other.

Subotic took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Lin Yun.

In the two encounters, Lin Yun got a total of 5 goals and 1 assist under his defense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was beaten.

Subotic naturally gritted his teeth with hatred during the game, but after the game, only admiration remained.

"Seriously, I don't know if Arsenal can defend their title this year, but you..." ”

"To borrow your good words," Lin Yundao, "I will try to enter the first group of the scorer list before the end of the group stage." ”

The Champions League has been played in four rounds, Ronaldo has scored 8 goals, firmly occupying the top scorer list, and then there are Aguero who has scored 5 goals, Lewandowski and Negredo who have scored 4 goals, etc., and Lin Yun only has two goals, and it is not easy to catch up.

Of course, it's just not easy, it's not impossible.

Subotic shrugged, "Then I can only mourn for Napoli and Marseille." ”

Arteta was already beckoning everyone to come over to thank him, and Lin Yun shook hands with Subotic again, "Good luck." ”

"Thank you, the same blessing to you."

Borussia Dortmund don't have many tickets for the visiting fans, but they do occupy a small area of the Iduna Park stadium, and everyone is still celebrating the team's victory with no intention of leaving.

After applauding and thanking the stands, Brother Tazi suddenly put his arm around Lin Yun's shoulders and shook it, "What does it feel like to conquer the most famous devil's home stadium in Europe?" ”

"Two goals are just two goals, what kind of conquest ......"

Lin Yunyao nodded, and then turned his head to signal him to look at the home team's stands.

Despite the loss, the Dortmund fans were still cheering the players loudly, and there was no intention of asking the family to return the money.

"Very loyal fans," Tazigo said, "so what do you want to say?" ”

"The real conquest is to silence them all, or applaud me collectively."

"It's not easy," Arteta shook his head, "or almost impossible." ”

"Actually, I'm not interested in conquering them," Lin said, "I'm more interested in conquering Old Trafford or White Hart Lane." ”

"White Hart Lane? Wake up, it's impossible, it's Old Trafford...... Well, it can't be either. ”

"Who knows......"

This time, the system did not give a task, but Lin Yun set a small goal for himself: to conquer Old Trafford!

At the post-match press conference, Wenger naturally praised Lin Yun to death in various ways, and Klopp on the opposite side listened to it and fell asleep.

Thinking about his own striker who has already stepped into the Allianz Arena with half a foot, Klopp can't wait to slap the sole of his shoe on Wenger's smug face.

Of course, these can only be illusions, and the only thing he can do is silently curse Wenger, hoping that he will also come to experience his pain.

Chelsea and Manchester City in Malegobi are fake tycoons, right? Can't even dig up a person?

……

At the end of the trip to Germany, the Arsenal group dragged their tired bodies back to London.

The FA didn't take pity on their hard work, and the league game with Manchester United was still scheduled after four days, and with the time to go and rest, they had very little time to prepare.

Major media are still reminiscing about the fourth round of the Champions League group stage that has just ended.

Borussia Dortmund lost 4-1 to Arsenal in the three highlightest matches, Barcelona won 3-1 at home to AC Milan and Real Madrid drew 2-2 away at Juventus.

It is worth mentioning that after the victory over Milan, Barcelona has already secured a qualifying place in advance and reached the knockout stage of the Champions League for 10 consecutive seasons.

In terms of individual performance, in addition to Bale, who scored the first Champions League goal after moving to Real Madrid, Neymar who made a penalty, Kaka who forced Pique to set up an own goal, Aguero who scored two shots and one pass, Negredo who scored a hat trick, and Mandzukic, who came off the bench to help Bayern Munich advance to the game, etc., everyone is most concerned about the performance of the three biggest favorites for the Ballon d'Or.

Although the top three Ballon d'Or awards have not yet been announced, it is not surprising that it will definitely be Lin Yun, Messi and Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the equaliser for Real Madrid, completing the feat of scoring eight goals in the first four rounds of the group stage, and also equalling the Champions League single-season group stage goal record held by Inzaghi, Ruud van Nispo, and Crespo.

With two games remaining in the group stage and none of Real Madrid's opponents very strong, there is a good chance that the Portuguese will break the Champions League group stage record for individual goals in a single season.

In Dortmund's 1-4 Arsenal and Barcelona's 3-1 AC Milan games, Lin Yun and Messi also became the protagonists.

Lin Yun shot two shots and one pass, shining all over the field, and Messi also scored twice, ending his goal drought of 366 minutes in 4 games.

Lin Yun missed three group games but showed good form as soon as he returned from injury, and it has been proven that Arsenal's No.11 will always be the strongest contender for the Champions League Golden Boot as long as he stays healthy..."

Regarding the Golden Globes, there were also some moths during this period.

Originally, the deadline for voting for the Golden Globes was November 15, 2013.

But what people didn't expect was that half a month before the end of the voting for the Ballon d'Or, FIFA President Sepp Blatter unexpectedly praised Messi in his speech at the Oxford United Society.

He said Messi was a good lad and the kind of kid every parent would like to have at home.

Originally, this was nothing, after all, Messi's excellence is well known to the world, and there are many people who like him and praise him, and there is no shortage of this one.

But this is the president of FIFA, FIFA is the organizer of the Ballon d'Or, and now it is an important juncture for the Ballon d'Or, and he praised Messi not enough, but also stepped on Ronaldo: "Ronaldo and Messi will continue to compete in this year's Ballon d'Or selection, I love both of them, but I prefer Messi, Ronaldo is like a commander on the field, he pays more attention to his hairstyle." ”

After speaking, Blatter also whistled while making Ronaldo's trademark celebratory gesture, and the irony was overflowing.

It's lively.

Blatter's remarks quickly occupied the front pages of major newspapers, and Real Madrid President Florentino was very dissatisfied with this, publicly speaking in support of Ronaldo, and calling Blatter to ask him to apologize to Ronaldo and Real Madrid.

Blatter is under tremendous pressure from public opinion, and perhaps FIFA also thinks that the president's actions are inappropriate, and under the joint promotion of all parties, Blatter apologized to Ronaldo on his social media and hoped to have a conversation with Ronaldo.

But Ronaldo's attitude was still very tough, and he simply rejected Blatter's invitation.

Blatter's original intention may just be to use the heat of the Golden Globe Awards to express his opinion on the controversial Melo duo, everything has nothing to do with Lin Yun, but will the English media let go of this kind of hot spot?

What do you mean? The Golden Globe Awards directly excluded Lin Yun?!

The three favorites of the Golden Globe Awards, you praise one and depreciate the other, and then don't say a word about the other?

Almost all of England's fans have a question mark on their heads.

In the eyes of England fans and Lin Yun fans, it is a sure thing that this Golden Ball Award belongs to Lin Yun, and in the eyes of Barcelona and Messi fans, Messi, who won the league championship and the European Golden Boot last season, also has the power to fight.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo......

Real Madrid was empty last season, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to be the top scorer in either the league or the Champions League, and Portugal only finished second in the group in the World Cup qualifiers and will be rolling to the play-offs in a few days.

Aside from Luo fans, who thinks he can win the Golden Ball?

Unfortunately, unlike Florentino, the Arsenal chairman is like a dead man, and it is impossible to expect him to come out.

It was Mendes and Arsene Wenger who immediately put pressure on the FA, and the FA immediately questioned Blatter.

Blatter didn't know how he got into trouble with Lin Yun's fans and this group of Brits, and he couldn't wait to slap himself when he figured it out.

There is no way, quickly admit it, "Lin is a dream player, his performance in 2013 was phenomenal, there is no doubt, like Messi and Ronaldo, he deserves any award..."

Lin Yun laughed, "Messi and Ronaldo are both excellent, but there is only one award, I believe the judges will make the right and fair choice." ”

Privately, the powerful Mendes revealed an unusual news to Lin Yun: the voting deadline for this year's Golden Globe Awards may have to be rescheduled.

As for the reason, it may just be a procedural problem, but it may also be related to a conspiracy.

Mendez's face was a little unnatural when he said this.

He had a hunch that Florentino should have done something again.

Although he couldn't see through what the old was playing, the vote was rescheduled... The only thing that can be linked is the World Cup qualifier play-offs.

Lin Yun and Lin Ming glanced at each other, tacitly.

After all, Mendes is the agent of Ronaldo and Lin Yun at the same time, and he is also Ronaldo's fellow countryman......

As soon as the thoughts in the hearts of father and son arose, Mendez realized that something was wrong.

After only half a second of hesitation, this shrewd agent made the choice that was most beneficial to him.

"I have a conjecture," Mendes pondered his words, "there may have been some kind of tacit agreement between Real Madrid and FIFA, or between Florentino and Blatter, and it should be related to the play-offs of the World Championships, of course, just a guess..."

The father and son of the Lin family are not stupid, so they can naturally understand it, but Lin Ming feels a little ridiculous.

"You mean... C. Ronaldo will win the Ballon d'Or for his performance in the play-offs? ”

Mendes shook his head, "To tell you the truth, whether it is Lin or Ronaldo's award, it is something to celebrate for me, my resources will not be tilted in any way, and there will be no reservations for both sides, but I haven't gotten any exact news, so I just said it was a tacit agreement, not an agreement, of course, it is also possible that Florentino took into account my identity and hid something from me..."

"World preliminaries? The gods descended to lead Portugal to the World Cup? Lin Yun touched the beard that was starting to pop up on his chin, "It sounds like a dick." ”

"Never overestimate someone's face, we have to be mentally prepared for the worst," Lin Ming shook his head, "Conspiracy theories never go out of style." ”

Lin Yun nodded, "It seems that I have to add some more code to myself..."

What is Messi's annual goal record?

It's made up for the sake of dramatic effect, don't beat me, President Luo, the best in the world!
