Section 393 Sheva's Golden Ball
After the U8 update fastest reading network and Everton's game, the general trend of this year's Premier League has basically come out. Arsenal were unable to win this crucial game after drawing at home to Chelsea, and now Chelsea have a game in hand to clear Arsenal by six points, and with the quality they have shown, it will be difficult for Arsenal to chase points in the following games.
Jose Mourinho triumphantly expressed his opinion after the game, "We now have a points lead and then we can go into two home games comfortably. Remind you that in the two and a half years in Porto, I have never lost an important match, neither against Benfica nor against Sporting Lisbon. โ
However, Wenger at the press conference immediately reminded him that he had just lost the Portuguese Cup final last year, and it was Camacho's Benfica who beat him.
As for Mourinho's arrogance, Wenger was also dismissive, "What a great result, were they 17th in the league last year? The second in the league and the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, they already have a good foundation, and now they have taken so much money, is it reasonable to say that they have not improved? And we Arsenal, spending money is the same level as Newcastle and Tottenham, and our title competition is really hard, unlike them, we have brains, and if you don't have money, you have to be a little creative. โ
Mourinho also ridiculed on the spot, "Doesn't Henry spend money? Is Patrick Vieira on loan? Was Reyes a Christmas gift from Sevilla? Didn't Arsenal also spend a lot of money? โ
But Mourinho still underestimated the reporters, and the reporters immediately reminded him that Wenger only spent 950,000 pounds in eight years, and he sold people to earn back 860,000 pounds, and the total cost of eight years was only 90,000, and Chelsea, not counting last year's 120 million investment, and the previous investment in Galla, Lampard and others, this year alone, Chelsea spent 700,000 pounds. Compared to Chelsea, Arsene Wenger is definitely a big money-saving expert.
For being exposed by reporters, Mourinho still found a reason, "It has been seven years since he took over a team, and I have only taken over for seven months, and the issue of spending money cannot be compared." โ
The verbal battle between the two sides was fierce, but the people who were far away in Liverpool didn't care much. Anyway, with Liverpool's points gap, there is no possibility of catching up with others. The coaches are fighting because of the championship, Liverpool and Manchester United are not capable of winning the championship now, so naturally they don't talk nonsense with them.
"It would be nice if we could catch up and see what our coach says." In the locker room, everyone joked in private, "I really want to know what our coach's bickering looks like." โ
This question is also of some interest to everyone - they also know a little bit about Benitez's character, although this person is very capable tactically, but he talks and does things to make people feel extremely depressed, and it is definitely very interesting to watch him bicker.
"I said don't dream, okay? If we lose again, we may even lose the third place. After two games without a win, Manchester United caught up, and the ability to chase and bite is really strong. โ
Hyypia interrupted everyone's obscenity, and it was still more important for Liverpool to play now.
In midweek, Liverpool also welcomed Portsmouth's replay.
This match is a match that Liverpool missed in the third round due to the Champions League play-offs.
There was nothing too difficult about the game itself, after all, Portsmouth were not a strong team. And Garcia is back, and this game is a lot better. In the first half, Zhao Yaning's corner kick was transitioned to Alonso by Garcia, who pushed the empty goal into the net, and in the second half, Gerrard hit the crossbar and bounced into the net to expand the score again.
Although Portsmouth pulled a goal back in the final stages of the game, it didn't hurt the big picture. Liverpool picked up another win to secure their third-place finish.
But at this time, Zhao Yaning ushered in a not very good news: after this game, news also came from the French side: Shepchenko's election as European Footballer of the Year has almost been decided.
Although Zhao Yaning has a triple crown in hand and beats Shepchenko in honor, Shepchenko is more famous, and the club's support is greater, after all, in 99 and 20 years, he has been the top three of the two Golden Balls, and his fame and honor have long accumulated enough, but he lacks an opportunity. And this year, everyone's performance is very sluggish, although Zhao Yaning has this strong performance, but he is too young and has no prestige, and compared with the old qualified stars, it is not eye-catching enough. This year, Shepchenko won this honor, although some were not convincing, but it was not abrupt.
And the Milan club has spared no effort in touting him. Berlusconi even relied on his status as a media mogul to call the editor-in-chief of French football, Ernaux, and on the day of the award ceremony, he also dispatched his own private plane to send Shepchenko to receive the award - a special plane is required for such a short distance from Milan to Paris, obviously to build momentum.
As for the propaganda of the Italian media, no effort has been spared: in their propaganda, Sheva has brought three points to Milan with every goal, and he is the most crucial key man. Sheva is in the national team and leads the national team forward in the world preliminaries, without him, Ukraine is nothing. Even Sheva's marriage this year was regarded as propaganda by them: Is it too much to give such a star a Golden Globe Award as a wedding gift? Not too much!
At this time, Zhao Yaning also left England and went to France to attend the award ceremony. It's just that he is destined not to win the award and go to someone as a supporting role, and he still has a lot of pimples in his heart.
Sure enough, at the award ceremony, Shepchenko won the Golden Globe Award by a narrow margin with a score of 165 points, surpassing Zhao Yaning's 150 points. And although Zhao Yaning has enough honors, he is still only second.
And Shepchenko was also extremely excited when he was interviewed, but he still didn't forget to say two words, on the one hand, to show that his honor is uncontroversial, and on the other hand, he can be regarded as thanking the Milan club, "In the past, I have always been unable to get enough attention because I am a Ukrainian." But now, the Milan club has given me enough stage to win awards. โ
Of course, he is extremely proud now, as for Zhao Yaning, who ranks second in points, he lost with 150 points, so it can be said that he only lost a little. The editor-in-chief of "Team Daily" Er Nuo explained his attitude towards Zhao Yaning in one sentence, "He is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while." โ
"Do the French think that as long as they are young, they can wait two years for any results?"
In this regard, the British media still has a lot of opinions. Henry has missed the Ballon d'Or for several years because of his youth, if Zhao Yaning is also put aside for this reason, with his age, it is possible to wait for another seven or eight years - Sheva won the Ballon d'Or this year when he is 28 years old, how old is European football ready to let Zhao Yaning wait?
"It doesn't matter, I didn't think I'd be able to get it this year." returned to the locker room, but it was Zhao Yaning who calmed down the indignant teammates, "Football is a weak country, the club is too small, in the big year, France still has a Henry vote, my disadvantages are all together, how can I be elected?" โ
"But if you don't get elected this year, your chances will be very slim in the future." Gerrard said to him, "It's a shame for you, if you were English, the Ballon d'Or would have been decided." โ
"How could I go to Monaco if I were English? Opportunities are spelled out by people, not falling from the sky. I can have this opportunity, can I not pick it up? If you want to win the prize, you can just fight for it in the future. Zhao Yaning replied, "And the first time is the second Golden Globe Award, what do you want?" I will have the opportunity to come back again in the future. โ
"But...... How can you be confident that you won't get into any trouble? Gerard was puzzled.
"I still have this confidence." Zhao Yaning smiled, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I still have to call Henry, I divided his ticket, he didn't even enter the top three, I have to apologize." โ
Although this is not Zhao Yaning's fault, Zhao Yaning thinks it is better to say something. After all, this kind of thing, if you don't explain it, there will always be a pimple.
In this year's Golden Globe selection, Sheva ranked first, Zhao Yaning ranked second, and the third was snatched away by Ronaldinho. Although Henry's performance at club was no less than Sheva, he was pulled down alive because of the poor performance of the national team. And Sheva's Ukrainian national team was considered not to be Sheva's fault because it could not play the European Championship.
In addition to the two of them, the Premier League has three players from Manchester United who are ranked in the Ballon d'Or. Wayne Rooney was eighth, Ruud van Nistelrooy was tenth, and Ronaldo was twelfth. However, the rankings of the three of them are a bit more famous than their performance. Wayne Rooney relied on his outstanding performances in the European Championship and the popularity of the British media, Ruud van Nistelrooy relied on his fame, and Ronaldo benefited from his talent status and his European Championship performances. After all, the European Cup is still favored by many people, for example, among Zhao Yaning's teammates, in addition to Zhao Yaning, there is also a person who has entered the 25-man squad. He and Xiao Luo are also 11 points, ranking 12th.
Chelsea's two players, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, are both 17th. Frank Lampard relied on his Champions League performance, and Drogba relied on his UEFA Cup performance in Marseille - although the English media repeatedly called Drogba a stupid big man and a parallel import, but the eyes of all Europeans are not blind, they understand who this Chelsea team is a really capable player.
In last year's Monaco lineup, in addition to Zhao Yaning, Morientes and Frank Lampard, Drogba were 17th, and Gyuli was 24th.
Small teams, after all, are still despised.
Since then, naturally, many English media have come to interview Zhao Yaning. But Zhao Yaning's answer to this is also very consistent, "I think Sheva deserves this honor." Moreover, even a player as good as Thierry Henry has never won the Ballon d'Or, so why should I be in a hurry? โ
"You're saying a good thing, putting all the pressure on Henry." Privately, Gerald did praise it.
"I'm not pushing the matter to him, but I really think so." Zhao Yaning replied, "This year's Golden Globe Awards, although I have an honorary advantage, but in terms of strength, I am not better than Sheva, I won it, and I can't convince the public." Several of us are the same, there is no absolute advantage in strength, since this is the case, people talk about seniority, and I have nothing to say. After all, what the media said is right, he is 28, I am 20, in this case, I seem to have a chance in the future. In that case, why not let him take it? Sheva is the oldest, so what's wrong with letting him take it? As for my own Golden Ball, I always get it one day. And I believe that what I am going to take, so that everyone has nothing to say, without controversy, and deservedly. โฯยท u(8) Update the fastest reading network
