Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 115 Stamford Bridge 1

Manchester City really attaches great importance to Ronaldo. This is the best shooter in the past 15 years and has great influence all over the world.

Frankly speaking, the first reason why Manchester City introduced Ronaldo is not Ronaldo's competitive factors, but his influence.

The debate about whether Ronaldo is the champion has been quite hot after the 2002 World Cup. It can be said that there are wolves everywhere in the media of various countries, one after another.

Let alone whether Ronaldo is the king of the ball, his argument is enough to prove his excellence. Only outstanding people are controversial, and a mediocre person is rarely controversial. In addition, there is no "uncontested king" in the world. The so-called "recognized" is also relative. Bailey is recognized, but in Brazil, many people appreciate Zico more. As for Maradona, it is also controversial. Of course, these two people are also regarded as the kings in a general sense.

The title of the king of the ball was originally a tribute given by the French to the great Pele. Bailey's three World Cup Gold Cups can be said to be shocking. To this day, this is still an unreachable height.

For whether a player is the king of the ball, if you refer to Maradona and Bailey, you can get a relative "king standard": that is, football genius, amazing skills, World Cup champion, super goals, great honor and influence. These conditions are quite harsh for an ordinary superstar, and it is not easy to meet two of them. It can be seen that stars are common, and the king is rare.

Some fans have doubts about Ronaldo's position as the champion, mainly because Ronaldo has never won the Champions League and has not really stood on the top of Europe. However, if you compare the above king standard with Ronaldo, you will find that Ronaldo meets all the conditions!

After Ronaldo came to Manchester City, the Manchester City Evening News also used a page of analysis and comments to prove that 'Ronaldo is also the king of the ball'. Considering that the media is now more and more 'harmonious and close' with the Manchester City club, this is also one of Manchester City's attempts to expand its influence. A measure, a club that can have the king of the ball is naturally different. Of course, the public opinion that Manchester City Club most wants to see is that Ronaldo is the king of the ball now, and Zhang Yang is about to become the king of the ball in the future! Manchester City is proud to have these two people at the same time.

The Manchester City Evening News compares Maradona and Ronaldo, which are generally disliked by the English, to show that Maradona is the king of the ball, and so is Ronaldo.

Superman's skills. This is the first condition of the king. Ronaldo's technology in 96-98 was a huge shock wave for football at that time. In two years, Ronaldo did not win a league championship, but still won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe Award. Why? Just because of his skills, the whole football world is like a spring breeze. At that time, the football world praised Ronaldo like a river, the most representative of which was Robson's words: "I don't think Ronaldo belongs to our planet. He is incredible..." This is also the origin of Ronaldo's nickname 'Alien'.

Avilange even called Ronaldo "the greatest football player in history." Just like another ball king Maradona gave a lasting shock to football, European experts and journalists' evaluation of Ronaldo is no less than that of Maradona, and some of them are still above Maradona. Ronaldo has been called the ideal football player by some experts.

World Cup champion. Maradona and Ronaldo each have a great history of the World Cup and are the masters of the Cup. In those years, he won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe Award.

Super goal. The two classic goals of the 20th century were completed by Ronaldo and Maradona. The two super goals are like waves, exquisite and exquisite, which is the best song in the history of football. Judging from the difficulty and visual shock of the long-distance attack, Ronaldo's goal over Compostela had a slight advantage. Ronaldo's goal was rated as "the greatest dribbling breakthrough in history" by experts. In terms of historical significance, Maradona's classic goals in the World Cup prevailed.

Honor. Honor is the recognition and recognition of a person's achievements by authorities and officials. Honor is an important part of achievement. Whether it is the European Golden Globe Award or the World Footballer of the Year, it is what people dream of. Ronaldo has won three World Footballer of the Year and two European Golden Globe Awards; Maradona only won the World Footballer of the Year and Golden Globe Awards in 1986. The gap is big. This shows that Ronaldo has been dominating for a longer time. In addition, Ronaldo has also won a lot of honors from official and authoritative institutions. This in itself illustrates Ronaldo's status as a king in modern times.

Influence. Both of them became famous as teenagers and were famous all over the world. In contrast, Ronaldo's influence is no less than that of Maradona. In the decade after the 1990s, Ronaldo was a well-deserved first person in football. Before 1986, Maradona's international reputation was not as high as that of Zico and Platini, and only after the World Cup. Now Ronaldo's influence has long exceeded the football and sports circles. Argentina's The Nation even reported that Bush, Pope Paul II and Ronaldo are the three most influential people in the world.

This report and comment of the Manchester City Evening News is also creating momentum for Ronaldo's comeback. They have internal information that Ronaldo's injury is not in the right. In the game with Chelsea, he will definitely be able to play the last game, but I don't know whether it is the starter or a substitute. If it is a substitute, he will How long does it take to kick?

The Manchester City Evening News is also dedicated to Ronaldo's debut in Manchester City. They have prepared at least three plans to report Ronaldo's comeback. Among them, the most hot-blooded title of the page is: The Return of the Ball King! In this case, Ronaldo naturally played and performed well. It's better to be able to score a goal!

Seeing Ronaldo appear on the list of going to the away game, the media are talking about it. They want to figure out whether Ronaldo went to the away game or is it possible to play the game?

The English media's story about Ronaldo's injury and his several injuries in his career began to be hyped again.

This also shows Ronaldo's influence. He hasn't played a game on behalf of Manchester City. He just went away with the team, which caused a wave.

When the British media began to hype about it, there was no news from the Manchester City Club.

Even after the Manchester City team arrived in London by car, in front of the swarming media at the door of the hotel where the team stayed, the Manchester City players, including Ronaldo himself, did not open their mouths and say a word. As for the team's news officer, there is only one word in his mouth: no comment!

This adds a little more mystery. Can Ronaldo really play in the game? These media immediately denied this speculation. Ronaldo's injury was not a secret. A week ago, the doctor just said that even if Ronaldo recovered well, it would take a month to play at the earliest. Moreover, the doctor also warned that for the health of Ronaldo's knees and ankles, it would not be built. Ronaldo continues to play football.

The disappointed media did not get any news about Ronaldo. They had to wait for the press conference held after adapting to the venue the day before the game. At that time, the head coaches of both sides will attend. At that time, Mark. Even if Hughes wanted to avoid this topic, he couldn't avoid it.

In order to satisfy the public's desire to peep, the media that can't get the news can only write according to their imagination. The beginnings are "According to a Manchester City player" and "According to a senior person of the Manchester City club", the senior management of the club, for the influence of the club and the sales of jerseys, forced Ronaldo to be in the Play on the field during the game, even for a minute... Ronaldo doesn't want to play, because he hasn't recovered from his injury, but there is an agreement with Manchester City that he must play... and so on.

How strange the readers want, how strange these reports are, which fully satisfies the readers' wishes**. Desire. Under their description, Ronaldo has become a weak woman who has been forced to be a prostitute!

So when Zhang Yang was reading a newspaper in the lobby of the hotel with relish, Ronaldo was very angry, "What do you think about these things? You know the truth of the matter best. It's all caused by the coach. What mystery do you have to do? Now it has attracted so many messy speculations."

"Hahaha." Zhang Yang covered his stomach and said with a smile, "It's not because they guessed indiscriminately. Who can guess that you have recovered from your injury and can play the game?"

"That's true." Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Ronaldo smiled proudly. He wakes up from dreams these days. He feels that his body seems to be five years younger. No, even five years ago, he didn't feel so healthy.

Zhang Yang raised his head with a smile and said to the former 'alien' and said, "Ronnie, isn't this just right? You will play well in the game. It's better to score a few goals to surprise all of them."

"How many goals do you score?" Ronaldo glanced diagonally, "You think Chelsea is a fish brisket. Just be able to score a goal."

Zhang Yang laughed. It seems that the recovery of the injury has indeed doubled Ronaldo's confidence. Do you see? This guy doesn't say that it is impossible to score Chelsea's goal. This means that he is still confident in scoring a goal. If there are too many, he dares not say.

After the training on the next day's adaptation field, Zhang Yang returned to the locker room. As soon as he finished taking a shower, he saw the press officer of Manchester City running. He informed Zhang Yang to accompany the team's head coach Mark. Hughes attended the pre-match press conference together.

It is not the first time for Zhang Yang to attend the press conference on behalf of the team. Although he is not the captain of Manchester City, he is the flag of the team. Generally speaking, in addition to the captain who is qualified to attend the press conference, the important players of the team, especially the flag stars, are also eligible to participate.

After taking a shower, Zhang Yang walked to the news hall of Stamford Bridge Stadium.

At the end of a corridor, Zhang Yang almost bumped into the person who came out of the corner. This person didn't expect that someone would suddenly come out and bump into him.

The man looked up, and Zhang Yang was surprised to find that the person who bumped into him was the new head coach of Chelsea, Hiddink.

Zhang Yang is familiar with Hiddink's face, not to mention that after Hiddink took office, the English media is full of reports about his magical coaching experience. Don't forget that during the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan, Hiddink was the head coach of the South Korean team. In that World Cup, South Koreans created a kill. After entering the top four of the World Cup, Hiddink has also become the favorite of the media. The Chinese media also has a lot of reports about the Dutch coach, but after Miloutinovic left the position of head coach of the Chinese national team, the media once regarded Hiddink as the new head coach of the Chinese national team. Where's the candidate?

Hiddink muttered in his mouth, and he was also surprised to see Zhang Yang. This person is the target he will arrange for the players to focus on in the game today. Unexpectedly, his first meeting with Zhang Yang was earlier.

"I'm sorry--" Zhang Yang apologized first. Anyway, he just walked in a hurry. Besides, he can't let the older party apologize.

Hearing Zhang Yang say 'I'm sorry', Hiddink smiled and said, "Zhang, you can't wait to play the game?" He said with puns, "I have a key arrangement for you."

"Ah - yes, it's okay. I'm not afraid. Anyway, I'm used to it." Zhang Yang did not soften his mouth because the other party was handsome.

"People say that you are a player who never suffers, and today I finally believe it." Hiddink said, and then he squeezed his eyes at Zhang Yang, "I voted for you during the selection of the World Footballer of the Year!"

It seemed to be a chicken fight. It exploded its wings and was ready to fight with Hiddink. Suddenly, he heard the other party say this. He was stunned and laughed on his mouth, "Ah, thank you, Mr. Hiddink. It's a pity that your ticket was wasted.

"There is no waste. In my opinion, you are indeed better than Cristiano Ronaldo." Hiddink said.

Zhang Yang was a little dizzy. What is this? This should be the head coach of the opponent he is about to face. Why do he praise himself at this time?

"Mr. Hiddink, thank you very much for saying that. After the game starts, you will find out how correct what you just said is, but unfortunately, you may start to have a headache." Zhang Yang said humorously.

"Hahaha." Hiddink laughed, patted his shoulder and walked away first, which surprised some staff at Stamford Bridge Stadium to hear his laughter. You know, Hiddink usually doesn't smile.

Zhang Yang looked at the back of the Chelsea coach and was a little confused. Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Zhang Yang walked to the news hall. He didn't know the reason why Hiddink showed his kindness to him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Besides, some people say that you are good, it's much better than someone scolding you.

At the press conference, Zhang Yang's number of goals was also the focus of media attention. In the 8 to 3 victory with Aston Villa, Zhang Yang scored seven goals in the game. Although he did not score in the subsequent game against West Ham United, Zhang Yang's goals in the Premier League have still reached 30 goals!

The league has played 28 rounds and scored 30 goals. This is a crazy data!

In the history of the Premier League, the previous individual goal record in a single season was scored by Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer teamed up with Andy in Newcastle in the 1993/1994 season. Cole scored 34 goals in the league; and after a season, he was still playing for Blackburn's Alan. Shearer also scored 34 goals this season, that is, in the 1994/1995 season!

After that, no one can break the record of scoring 34 goals in a single season in the Premier League. Some media are even sighing that I'm afraid no one will be able to break the record of 34 goals in a single season.

However, now in the eyes of the English media, someone can finally hit this record!

Zhang Yang's current league goals are 30 goals, away from Andy. Cole and Alan. Sheiller's 34-goal goal record is only four goals short. Considering the hot shooting state of Zhang Yang, what's more, the league has only played 28 rounds, and there are ten games, scoring four goals in ten games, or more goals, which may be a small challenge for other players, but, This doesn't seem to be a big problem for Zhang Yang!

Even some media are speculating that Zhang Yang may be able to equalize or surpass Andy in just one or two games. Cole and Alan. This record held by Shearer! You know, this is the man who scored seven goals in a game!

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yang's new personal record of scoring seven goals in a single game in the Premier League also broke Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer holds the record of five goals in a single game in the Premier League.

"If I say that I don't have confidence in breaking this record, this is definitely not the truth. Indeed, I feel very confident in my goal. If you can set a new goal record, it will naturally be a happy and satisfying thing, Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer's goal record is admirable, and I would be very happy to be compared with these great names. Zhang Yang asked the reporter if he had the confidence to break Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer's goal record replied.

Hearing what he said, the reporters at the scene also applauded him. After Zhang Yang came to the Premier League, the media gradually found that they seemed to underestimate the 75 million pound gentleman. He was not as unruly or simply stupid as described by the French media or some Italian media. On the contrary, some of what Zhang Yang said in the interview is still very mature. Although sometimes it makes people feel a little arrogant, when you think of this person's strength and performance all the time, you have to admit that this person doesn't make you feel so annoying.

Of course, this does not prevent some media from continuing to criticize Zhang Yang. It is two different things to understand what they will do. When someone is willing to hear bad things about publicity, they will naturally satisfy the psychology of the public.

In addition to the question of whether Zhang Yang can break the goal record, the most frequently asked by the media is the question of whether Ronaldo will play in the game.

At this time, Mark. Hughes is still releasing smoke bombs, "Ronaldo? His injury has indeed improved, and the player himself is extremely eager to play, but you must be cautious about Ronaldo's use. Therefore, I don't think Ronaldo is ready for the last game. Of course, I have to communicate with the team doctor and the player himself.

The reporter at the scene for Mark. Hughes's words are all disdainful. The head coach of Manchester City is too cunning. Will Ronaldo play? Ronaldo's physical recovery is not clear. Who knows? At this time, I'm still being careless!

On the contrary, Hiddink seems to be more frank and confident. He made it clear that Drogba, who had rested for half a month due to injury, will start in today's game.

"There is nothing wrong with Drogba. He is eager to play, and I will meet the expectations of the players... I know this game is very interesting. Zhang Yang and Drogba are both players from Marseille, and some people will compare the two of them. However, these are two players with very different technical characteristics. Of course, they are all equally excellent."

There is still one hour left, and the game is about to begin.

The home team's locker room at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"Our recent results have been very good." Hiddink stood among the players and paced back and forth. We won several crucial games. On my way to work today, I heard the fans praising you. It's good. You have proved your strength! And Chelsea also have the strength to compete for the championship!"

Chelsea's locker room was quiet, and everyone was listening to Hiddink's speech. No one dares to underestimate the Dutch teacher who has been working part-time for four months. Hiddink's coaching style is very serious, similar to Mourinho, which is in contrast to Scolari, which also gives many old Chelsea players a feeling of returning to the Mourinho era.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hiddink was invited by Chelsea boss Abramovich with a lot of personal money to put out the fire. With the absolute confidence of the boss Abramovich, it can be said that he holds Shangfang's sword. In this way, even some unsipated Chelsea players have become obedient. Ersi, there is only one boss, and that is their boss, Abramovich!

"About this game, I think I need to repeat it again! If there are still people who think that they are not worthless clowns, then you can ask yourself not to play today, because your arrogance may destroy the efforts of the whole team!"

The players shook their heads. Although there are still people who don't like Manchester City as an upstart, from a competitive point of view, Chelsea players have to admit that Manchester City is a strong rival, and they will not forget the two-two game with Manchester City in the first half of the season!

" Arsenal looked down on Manchester City. They were kicked six to one by Manchester City! Ferguson also said that Manchester City was not worth mentioning, but as a result, Manchester City killed them! So, in today's game, if you don't want to repeat their mistakes, you have to regard Manchester City as an important opponent, just like in the match with Manchester United and Arsenal!" Hiddink stressed again that he is still worried that his players don't pay enough attention to their opponents. In Hiddink's view, Zhang Yang's super strength is certainly an important reason why Manchester City has won Arsenal and Manchester United in a row, but this is also inseparable from the two teams' slight and contempt for Manchester City!

In this game, Chelsea must win to continue to maintain the pressure on Manchester United and Liverpool! He must eliminate all the factors that may lead to Chelsea's loss in the bud, especially this psychological reason, which must be taken seriously!

On the other side, Manchester City head coach Mark. Hughes is reading the starting list, which is not much different from the previous one.

The biggest change was the start of Ennuoha, who replaced Belgian central defender Compani, who was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.

And on the front line, he is still the partner of Zhang Yang and Robinho.

Berami and Ronaldo are on the bench.

Entering the substitute list means that he may play in the game, which makes Ronaldo very happy. He is too eager to play, but this man is still a little insatiable. He hopes that he can get a starting opportunity, but he also knows that he is too anxious. He has just recovered from injury and can enter the substitute list. Not bad. Moreover, Zhang Yang has also had a relationship with Ronaldo. Welsh striker Bellamy is the head coach Mark. Hughes's direct confidant, Mark. Hughes valued Bellamy very much.

"Welcome to Stamford Bridge Stadium, which is a focus match in the 29th round of the English Premier League in the 2008/2009 season. Chelsea, which currently ranks third in the league, has ushered in the fourth-ranked Manchester City team at home... Today's Stamford Bridge Stadium is full. England national team head coach Capello and German national team head coach Loeff all appeared in the stands..."

"In this game, there are many England internationals in the two teams, Lampard, Terry and Ashley. Cole, Bridge and Wright. Phillips, these are all the targets of Capello's investigation, Loeb? He came to London to watch the game for Barak alone... Of course, he may also come to observe the enemy. Reinkel said humorously.

"There are rumors that Ronaldo may play in today's game..." Eddie. Gray said that we also saw Ronaldo warming up just now.

PS: The second update.
