King of Competition

Chapter 323 in Sweden

No one expected this situation before the game. Jack Don was also anxious, but after all, he was just a player. What he could do was to find opportunities to help the team equalize the score.

With such a mentality, opportunities are rare, because the state of teammates is really terrible. Liverpool seems to have returned to the dark time, and even Benitez, the head coach on the sidelines, felt that there was no hope of victory in this game.

Fortunately, Jack Don has a good mentality.

In the eighty-first and eighty-three minutes, in two minutes, Don Jack got two good opportunities in a row. Norwich, inadvertently let Don Jack score two long-range shots for the team in a row, directly extinguishing the excitement of Norwich fans at Kano Road Stadium.

At this time, Norwich really realized that it was really difficult to determine the outcome without the last minute of the game.

They... Work hard to defend!

Maybe it's not too late, because people's sea tactics can always restrain the strength gap. It's a little late for Liverpool to break out at the end of the game. In the face of the iron barrel tactics of eleven people piled up in the penalty area like Norwich turtle shells, Don Jack can't do anything about it.

Until the end of the game, the score could not be rewritten.

Liverpool suffered a draw at Kano Road Stadium, which is really not good news for Liverpool, because in the simultaneous match between Chelsea and Middlesbrough, Chelsea... Win....

Chelsea defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 at home, and Drogba scored twice in three minutes of the game.

The Liverpool people are very weak.

In England, who dares to say that Liverpool's performance this season is not good? But in the same way, Chelsea's performance led by the champion coach is better. In the last 13 rounds of the league, Chelsea has 12 wins and 1 draw. The terrible record makes any team feel powerless.

At the end of this round, the long-sipting coaches and players are also in the mood to be interviewed by the media. Arsenal coach Frenchman Wenger said in an interview: "Their results are so good. I feel powerless. Maybe we should all look forward to next season."

Everyone knows who 'we' refers to.

In the past, Arsenal and Manchester United were the strong contenders for the league championship. Since the beginning of the Premier League, no other team has won the Premier League championship.

But Arsenal and Manchester United seem to have lost their competitiveness this season.

In the competition for the league championship, there are only Liverpool and Chelsea. The results of both teams are ridiculously good, which makes Manchester United and Arsenal almost overwhelmed. As the head coaches of the two teams, Wenger and Ferguson, who have always been sworn rivals, may also have a feeling of being connected.

But the reality is so ruthless, and Liverpool in it also feels the same. With four rounds, three wins and one draw, this almost perfect record still makes Liverpool have a four-point gap with the leader Chelsea in the table.

Four points, it seems very close, but it is extremely difficult to catch up.

After this round, the English media are discussing Drogba's strength. 'Warcraft' two goals in three minutes is the focus of people's talk about. But in fact, in the Liverpool game, Don Jack scored two goals in two minutes, which was passed by the media.

Don Jack didn't care about this, but his teammates complained about him.

In an interview with the media, when asked about the topic of Chelsea's front line, Gerrard said bluntly, "Who is Drogba? I haven't heard of it! All I know is Jack. He scored two goals in the last two minutes of the last game, and now he is number one in the scorer list. Henry is about to score eleven goals away from him!"

"That's right! Those Londoners, wait, we will put an end to their winning streak!" Baroche continued.

Alonso is still the most cunning. Instead of following what his teammates said, he mentioned the comparison of the data of the two teams: "We have an average of .27 goals per game, but they only have one point eight." I don't know where his data comes from. In short, the real data is always more attractive: "We score one more goal than them in each game, which shows that our attack is sharper, and in defense, we only conceded two more goals than them. Chelsea is nothing. There are still more than a dozen rounds in the league, and we will catch up. As for Drogba, who would think that an average scorer who scored half a goal in a game can be compared with a scorer who scored two goals in a game?

In the end, Alonso seemed to be still not satisfied, and added: "... The fierce man only performed well in one game, but Jack performed well in every game..."

This sentence says that the media who want to compare is speechless.

In fact, in the English League until now, the media are a little tired of hearing Don Jack's goals. They can't wait for a player who has more goals than Don Jack to find new topics, especially those hostile media in Liverpool.

Therefore, Don Jack's two goals were ignored due to Liverpool's loss, while Drogba's two goals were blown up.

The media instinctively wanted to use comparisons to contrast Drogba's strength, but now they realize that even if Liverpool loses, the two are really not comparable in terms of the efficiency of the shooter.

Who dares to say that Drogba plays a bigger role than that brunette boy?

This view has no basis at all. It's almost lying with your eyes open. I'm afraid that as soon as the report comes out, it will be criticized by the fans. Alonso's words make the thoughtful media extinguish the idea in the cradle.

At this time, Jack Don began his journey carelessly.

Jack Don is going to receive the award.

More than ten days ago, FIFA, together with UEFA, announced the winners of various awards in 2004. The most eye-catching is undoubtedly the rankings of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Footballer of the Year (Golden Globe Award).

Due to his excellent performance in Schalke 04 and Liverpool, although Don Jack did not join the national team or participate in the European Cup, both nominations were nominated for Don Jack. Li's name.

It's a pity that there was a European Cup last summer.

This kind of award is very concerned about the national team's game, and Don Jack did not participate in the Champions League last season. Although his name is now loud, because of his lack of resume, those who are qualified for selection can only watch videos and data, that's all.

So, his ranking is not high.

Don Jack ranked 23rd in the World Footballer's Award. This ranking is just a name and has no effect at all. However, in the selection of the European Footballer's Player, that is, the Golden Globe Award, due to Don Jack's strong performance in Europe and Liverpool, he got 47 points, which beat Zagorakis. , ranked fifth.

Although

is the fifth place, it is also in the top five. He can get a small trophy.

This is the first time that Jack Don has received a trophy from UEFA, so he is very interested. After the intensive Christmas schedule, he rushed to Sweden with his sister Li Xue to pick up the trophy at UEFA headquarters. By the way, he can also visit the scenery and relax.

In 2004, in the selection of the World's Player of the Year announced by international football, Barcelona's Brazilian Ronaldinho came out again. He defended the World's Player of the trophy with 620 points, 71 points ahead of Henry.

Other awards have also attracted attention to Miss World Football, and the winner is Miss Prinz from Sweden. This award is also very attractive, mainly to satisfy the gossip spirit of many gossip people. As for the Fair Play Award, the Chairman's Special Award, the Team of the Year, and so on, not many people pay attention to these useless awards.

It is worth mentioning that FIFA's annual fastest progress award was awarded to the Chinese national team.

Jack Don should pay attention to this result as soon as he hears it.

FIFA announced the latest ranking of the national team in December. The world champion Brazil continued to defend the top position with 843 points, followed by France and Argentina, with no change in ranking. The ranking of the Chinese team from the Mysterious East fell again after last month, dropping five places from 49th to 54th.

But... Compared with last year, the Chinese team's world ranking rose 32 places from 86 places, and this rapid progress unexpectedly won the fastest progress award.

This kind of progress makes Don Jack a little unclear.

After reading it, I learned that due to the influence of SARS last year, the Chinese team's international ranking** only ranked 86th at the end of the year. After winning the runner-up in the group stage of the World Cup Asian qualifiers and the Asian Cup, China's points soared by 101 points, directly rising to 54 places.

Three other countries whose rankings have risen by more than 30 are Uzbekistan (up 34 places, ranking 47th). However, the Chinese team still won the fastest progress award with the double growth advantage of ranking and points.

These gossips make Jack Tang, a Chinese, very interesting. In the tourism in Sweden, this is the adjustment of his life.

In addition, the European Footballer of the Year has attracted attention.

In 2004, the selection of the European Footballer of the Year has ended, and the final winner is the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andre from AC Milan's 'goal machine'. Shepchenko.

※※※

As the most important personal honor in today's football world, the final result of the Golden Globe Award always stirs saliva.

Why Shevchenko?

Where are Ukrainians better than Deko, Ronald Jr. and even Henry?

Many media are concerned about this issue, and many judges who listed Shevchenko as the best in 2004 listed the same comment, "He can score goals."

Breaking the goal is the vocation of a striker. At one point, the Ukrainian striker has done his job perfectly. Last season, Shevchenko scored more than 30 goals in AC Milan and became the best scorer in Serie A with 24 goals, which is the most favored honor for the judges.

Since joining AC Milan in 1999, Sheva has maintained a very high scoring rate. In the eyes of the fans, it is really a goal. Not long ago, Shevchenko's Serie A goals reached three digits. Since the 1980s, he has been a foreign player who has spent the shortest time to achieve this milestone. His predecessor Van Basten's records have been rewritten one by one, and his Serie A is recognized as the most difficult goal.

Looking at the number of goals, it seems not too much to say that Sheva is the most powerful striker in the world today.

However, this argument makes Don Jack quite angr't.

Do you have fewer goals?

In 2004, the total number of goals scored in Schalke 04 and Liverpool has exceeded that of Shevchenko's goals in 2004 for a whole year, and there were eleven more. That is to say, in the whole of Europe, he scored the most goals in the top league.

It's a pity... I'm only fifth.

Don Jack understands that this is mainly because he did not participate in the national team's game. In addition, in the summer, he transferred to Liverpool. Such an experience will definitely be greatly reduced to the selection, and it is difficult to be seen as a goal in the Bundesliga.

In the eyes of Europeans, only Serie A, the Premier League and La Liga are the most valuable leagues.

However, this makes Don Jack see the hope of winning the Golden Globe Award. As a professional player, Jack Don certainly hopes to be recognized by others. The Golden Globe Award is the most meaningful and valuable award for professional players, and he also hopes to get this honor.

Since Shepchenko can get an award with the number of goals, he can certainly do it.

Unfortunate, we can only look forward to the next year...

In the European professional football circle, all kinds of football babes, film and television stars, and European models will have something to do with players. Little stars who want to be famous like to hook up with football stars. It's better to bring some inside information and play their own names with the help of football stars. Big stars want to find a promising football star husband, such an father-in-law. My husband feels great, and it can make people take it for granted.

After half a year of Schalke 04 and Liverpool, Don Jack Linlin has always come into contact with a lot of beautiful women, but among these women, it is not Miller, a young reporter of the German "Kicker" newspaper. Eve is one of them.

Miller. Eve has always been praised as the most beautiful female reporter in Germany.

This fame can explain some problems. At least most European actresses are difficult to catch up with, but Miller insists on doing a good job as a journalist. For some personal reasons, she is not interested in becoming an actress.

For such a beautiful and temperamental woman, normal men will be a little impressed. What's more, Don Jack once had a quarrel with Miller, and Miller also published some articles questioning Don Jack, which made Don Jack more impressed.

But the days in Germany are far away.......

Jack Don never thought that he would meet Miller in Sweden. Although it was only a news media interview hall, he still felt a little surprised, which reminded him of the time in Schalke 04, which was at least a good memory.

He came to receive the award.

The European Footballer of the Year awarded by UEFA, that is, the first nomination for the Golden Globe Award, is Shepchenko of AC Milan. The Ukrainians won by scoring goals, surpassing other competitors in votes and winning the Golden Globe Award. But in this award, the second to fourth place also has medals. In fact, in terms of the content of the Golden Globes, the top five should be called European Footballer of the Year, but the fans seem to be the first to be meaningful, and the second to the fifth are ignored.

This day is the day when the second place to the fifth place come to receive the medal.

In fact, this kind of small award can be led, even mailed to the club, but Don Jack still came, mainly because he wanted to come to Sweden with his sister and take away the medal by the way.

The award ceremony is very hasty, and it is not a major award in itself. UEFA is a province.

But Jack Don still met Ronaldo Jr. and Deco. On the international match day, it seems that the two Barcelona guys also have nothing to do. They actually came to Sweden to get the trophy.

In the European Footballer of the Year nomination ranking, due to its strong performance, Deco ranked second with 139 points, Ronaldinho Jr. ranked third with 133 points, the fourth was Henry the Great of Arsenal, and Don Jack ranked fifth.

Before the award began, Jack Don noticed Ronaldinho, the world's top star. Although everyone didn't know each other, they still felt a little sorry for each other. Before Jack Don came over and took the initiative to say hello, Ronaldo Jr. had come this way with Deco.

Little Ronaldo took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Hello? You are Jack from Liverpool. Li, right? I've seen your game, and you did a great job!"

Jack Don smiled and said, "Thank you, you're better."

Ronaldinho shrugged his shoulders, pulled Deco aside, and said, "This is Deco. You can call him Anderson."

"Hello." This time, Jack Don took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

Deko is very shy. He doesn't have the arrogance of a football star in the league, but an approachable appearance. After the two shook hands and met, Deke pointed to Li Xue on one side and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"

"Li Xue, it's my sister." Don Jack didn't answer directly, but said that Li Xue was his sister.

"She is very beautiful."

Li Xue said generously, "Thank you."

"You came together? The award ceremony will take about 15 minutes later, and we can have a good chat. Liverpool is very strong this season.

"It's the same in Barcelona. I'm looking forward to meeting you."

"Haha." Deko smiled and said, "Are you provoking?"

"No, we have been so smooth. I really want to see the world's first offensive team."

"I'm looking forward to it, too." Ronaldinho has been laughing beside him. Hearing this, he finally took over and said something. Deko also took the opportunity to say, "You can score two goals in a game. I've seen some videos. Your performance is really good. I think this award will belong to you next year. It will leave the Ukrainians." Deko looked disdainful.

This is not a bad word behind the scenes. As a midfielder, I will obviously feel very disgrined when I hear that someone has won the Golden Globe Award for more goals. After all, this award is not specially designed for strikers, and Deko's words are also a little ironic.

Don Jack heard that Deko is aimed at Shepchenko, and this year's evaluation. He smiled and said, "Hope, you have a great chance. Barcelona is expected to enter the Champions League finals."

"I think so! I wish I could play with you!" Ronaldinho said.

Ronaldinho is very cheerful, but when he is with Deco, he looks very shy. Although he is a senior in football, he still can't let go when he sees Jack Don for the first time. On the contrary, he looks like a shy teenager. Jack Don also has a good impression on him. Maybe it is the involvement of football. The two are a little confused. Cherish each other.

In contrast, Ronaldinho is already at the peak of his career. The two-time World Footballer of the Year, this honor can be said to have reached the level of a football giant, and Don Jack's football is just beginning.

"I hope to meet..."

When he left, Jack Don kept thinking.
